utter woe as he murmured brokenly:

But if he could not unsay a word
lie had spoken, at least he could now
choose a milder and wiser form of
persuasion. And this he promptly
hastened to do.

Ile leaned forward. and gently laid
one hand on Engel's knee.

"Look here, Engel," he said, in
frank and cordial tones, "if I seemed
to be talking down to you, it's only
because I didn't make myself clear.
I don't think I'm a better man than
you. Maybe I'm not nearly as de-
cent. I know life has been hard for
you and easy for me. I had no limn.
to do with that than you had. It just
happened so: But it's because life has
been easy for me that I'm trying now
to make it easier for other people.
That's why I do jobs like this for men
and women who come to me for help.
That's why Vin breaking into this
trouble between your wife and you!"
There was no answer to this, even
if Engel had felt inclined to urge one.
The lawyer felt he had at last scored
a point, and continued in his most
thoughtful vein:

"You pointed to that picture of my
wife and boy. What you say is true
enough. I was pretty lucky about
marriage, as about everything else.
But stop looking for a minute at my
wife. Look at the child. Ile's illy

The lawyer now felt sure of his

ment or sullenness upon Engel's face,
but an almost piteous desire to ex-
plain and justify himself.

"I know you have," the lawyer as-
sured' hint with true sympathy. "I
know it's hard. It's something heroic
you've got to do, but you can't ge t
away from it. NVhat will your boy
think of you when he grows up and
!earns how you deserted him when he
needed you most? \\Tat sort of in-
fluence will your name be to him?
But it's something more than that.
He's entitled to the chance you never
had and he can't get it without you!"
In the silence that followed, the
la w yer knew he had won his case.
Engel had no answer to make. He
sat perfectly still, his face a picture
of complete despair. Daniels rose
and shunt above him.
"I'm going to help you," he an-
nounced. "You (IOW( think I can do
much, but I can. I shall come to
your house and try to smooth things
out. You shall come to mine and use
my books and bring your boy to play
with mine."
If Daniels' inner spirit gasped at
the temerity of his resolve and at the
prospect of his wife's well-bred
amazement at the crowning eccen-
tricity, he gave no sign of what was
beneath the surface. Outwardly he
was steadfast, and, if anything, even
a little too benign.
"Come," he urged. "you're going to
do it. You're going to do it now—
this very hour. \\Ten things get bad,
come back to see me and talk them
over. Is it a promise?"
Engel nodded dumbly and rose to
his feet.
"I'm proud of you," 1)aniels ex-
claimed, taking his hand. "I hope
you'll really let tun be your friend."
And a minute after the lawyer had
returned again to his desk, pausing
an instant before plunging into his
next task, to exult, just a little, over
the successful conclusion of a difficult
bit of persuasion rather skillfully per-
formed. Altogether, the Law Officer
of the Jewish Charities saw no reason
why he should not be somewhat
pleased with himself.

Engel, as he wandered slowly down
the street, found less cause for satis-
faction with either the lawyer or him-
self. Of course, Daniels was right.
That was the most exasperating part
of all. Engel had known, all along,
everything this man of smooth speech
could have to say to him; had fore-
seen, too, h o w inevitably his inexor-
able Duty would seek him out and
?hitch him. His brief, impulsive re-
volt had been doomed from the be-
ginning to grotesque failure. And

now his little space of freedom was

The man's 1011V was almost plead-

was it alone her scolding tongue and
