Sheldon figured 1t | out that he could live better on a cer- | tain income in Fairfield than on a! doubtful prosperity in a large city There was something else. kdith Sawyer lived in Fairfield. But the Hon, John Sawyer, railroad magnate, could not appreciate an at- tachment between his daughter and a poor, young lawyer. So the poor, young lawyer studied and struggled along. He had been struck by a peculiar phase of a great case that was being tried at a nearby city. The law jour- nal which printed his article on the subject commented on his views rath- er enthusiastically. Urged by his contidence that he had done a worthy thing, he set off for the Sawyer home, determined to interview Mr. Sawyer. He was very civilly re. ceived. “Quite an interesting vours,” said the millionaire, you for the copy.” Frank bowed, then plunged. *“Mr. Sawyer, you must have seen that || love your daughter, but I've said noth. | ing until I felt assured of your con- sent.” “Oh, of course” interrupted Mr. Sawyer. “How much did you get tor that article?” “A few extra copies,” said Frank, blushing, | “About what 1 thought,” said Mr. !
