It wasn't what a conservative red
lawyer would call a straight case. I
had been sent to London to look up
Sh£1.1'per and make him disgorge for the
benefit of the heirs of another sherper.
The wife of one join) Sauutlere, an
Fnglishman who had died in 13uniale
several years previously, had put lier
cleinis in the hands of. a New York
lawyer. This Saunders bad been naixed
up in a big swindle before leaving
England. Something like E20,000 hod
been reaped from it, but Inc purtner in
the trausaction had gobbled on to most
of it and ,had also managed to pull his
neck out of tee noose, while Saunders;
)'ad been hunted out of tbe country. It
was the claim of one swindler againet
another—no more, no less. The lever-
age we hed consisted of a number of
papers to which both names were at-
tached. The mune of the living part-

I bade Mr. Smallwood good day with
as much -courtesy as 1 could asstune.
It, was about lunchtime when I left his
office, and I dropped into a modest res-
taurant for a light meal. I baclesearce-

a loud voice asked, 'And how many

, "This question I could not answer,
as I had not been engaged In counting
the number of slices consumed, but
one of my guest.s, who had evidently
kept track of the bread, noticing my
embarrassment, said in my behalf,

the amount to my bill he handed It to
