The firm of Plumley & Fox was a
highly respectable and old-fashioned
ooncera, which avoided litigation, and
kept almost entirely to family bust -
nese. Plumley was a fairly good
lawyer, but Fox's legal knowledge
was of the most limited obaraoter,and
he was much too lazy to lake the
trouble to increase it. So it came to
be understood between them that
while Plumley did the office work,
Fox kept the clients in good humor
by calling on them apropos of nothing,
and amusing them with his jokes and
stories. This business was technical-
ly termed "keeping the connection to-
gether," and it suited Mr. Fox very
well indeed. It was while he was
thus keeping the connection together
that Mr. Fox made the acquaintance
of a certain- rich old widow lady,nam-
ed Mrs. Johnson, and so well did he
play his dards that before long Plum-
ley & Fox became Mrs. Johnson's
family solicitors, land agents and con-
fidental advisors. The firm made a

ria;zes he was going to buy in order,
to dazzle Miss Laquertou, whom he
felt justified ill serionely thinking
about now.
Miss Nelly had meanwhile beenin-
formed of the couyereatioti a; Mr,
Fox's office, and, with an indiguanl
exclamation about 'ouch incredible
untruths,,' she went to fetch her letter-
box. There, sure enough, were the
lettere, all in a little packet, ,neatly
tied up with blue and pinta ribbons,
but strange to say, she could not see
au address ; and, oh, heavens ! when
she undid the packet they contained
nothing but paper ---all white paper,
without a single word on it, The
wily lawyer had evidently deceived
by ono dem,ouiaeal lriok.
The shook was to great to our poor
lova siok lady that she had soarooty

will wee to he read ; but she rallied
at last, hopiug spinet hope that it
might still be in her favor, when she
could treat with soorn and ooatempt
her fai blotto lover and his paltry dam•
ag ole.
Mr, Fox, although he considered
binleolf master of the house and every.
thing to it, felt considerably excited
au the morning of the day appoiuted

Mr, Plumley, a, (thief exeoutor, sat

faint and his heart fluttered to such
an ezieut that he fancied all his hopes
and beautiful (*atlas ill the air were
crumbling away as ill a drove). Why
did not hie old friend at once reed

Why did be continua to stare fust at

'Could it be ? Yee, sure enough,
there was the paper on which the will.
had been made ont, but there was no-
thing upon it now ; it was merely a
blank, a white sheet
'Gouts heavens 1 With what iuk

at last Mr. Fox.
'With what ink ?' repeated the old
gentlemen hntlignantiy, 'with your

stairs dry, and the old lady was in
eneb a deadly hurry, I rushed down
myself to get some, and seeing your

Mr. Fox turned deadly pale, and
without saying another word vent/di-
ed, like hie ink, before anybody bad
found time to ask for an explauattou.
When the rest of the company had
composed themselves again, Mr.
Plumley said :
'I know that the testatrix has des

So Mr. James Fox set to work at

Mies Brown, yob without going too
far for he had by no means forgot-
ten Miss Laquerton, but he felt it was
better so nave two strings to his bow,
and therefore he determined to do his
best to keep Mis Nelly in good humor.
This lady, however, was not so easily
satisfied as the solicitor expected,
for now he had once begun to pay
her attentions, she wanted a deoided
offer of marriage, and nob being able
to gel it, she took refuge in a strata-
gem. This consisted of suddenly
making the discovery that Mrs. John-
son's health was in absolute want of
some German waters—in fact, she
decided that it was quite_ dangerous
for her to stay in England, with all
the changes of beat and cold. The
old lady was therefore soon persuaded
to yield to such tender solicitude, and
away the ooaple went, leaving Mr.
called upon him Baying that he had
been intrusted with Miss Nelly
Brown's affairs, and suggested that
perhaps Mr. Fox, before matters went
further, would prefer making some
private arrangement about his breach
of promiae of marriage with his
client.
'And what proof of that promiae
has Miss Brown except her saying
so ?' asked Mr. Fox.
'Oh,' answered the young man, 'I
have seen a box full of lettere from
you.'
'Have you read them ?' continued
Mr. Fox saroastioally.
'Not yet,' replied the other ; but 1

'Well, you had better go and read
them first before you take any farther
steps and if you can find a single line
from me to Miss Brown, I am quite
willing to let her have ample damages
without their being awarded by a
court of law.'
