[Original.]
In the city of New York tbe throng
of carriages on Fifth avenue Is often
so great that mounted policemen ore
stationed at Intervals to keep them in
line and extricate them when blocked.
One afternoon us it was growing dark
a gentleman threaded his way to u
stalled carriage and mounted to the
box beside the liveried coachman. As
tonishment kept the latter silent for
a moment; then when he was about
to speak tbe gentleman stopped him.
"James." he said in a low voice,
"you know meV"
"Certaluly, Mr. Townsend. "
"You also know that 1 am a friend
of your mistress. Now. I wish you to
relinquish the reins to ine. Get off
the box aud disappear In the throng.
Come to my otiice tomorrow aud you
will receive five years' wages."
There was little hesitancy In accept
ing such a tempting offer. Me had
often seen the gentleman at his nils
tress' house. Doubtless be meditated
some harmless prauk. Turning over
the reins, James descended from the
box aud was lost in the crowd.
Now, there had been for some time
a desperate lov.j game between Mr.
Townsend and Miss Annette Van 1 Jo
veer. the occupant of the carriage.
The lady would encourage her lovei
for a brief season, when she would
suddenly treat hlni with the most
studied Indifference. This blowing hot
and cold on the heart alternately seie
the blood coursing wildly and makes :i
man do very reckless things. Bui
Frank Townsend was as much of a
genius at the game of love as Paul
Morphy was at the game of chess. He
made up his mind to a campaign
which If unsuccessful would mark him
for a fool, but. If he knew Miss Van
Deveer .correctly, would win her.
The lady woudered why she was so
loug In reaching her home. When the
carriage stopped It was under a porte
eochere. The man on the box gave a
call, which was answered by a maid,
who came out of the house and receiv
ed whispered Instructions from the
coachman. She opened the coach door.
The lady stepped out. looking about her
In surprise, but before she could collect
her senses was hurried Into the bouse.
She became alarmed and turned to g<>
back through the door by which she
had come. It was locked.
"What does this mean?" she cried,
both Indignant and terrified.
"That yoti are a prisoner."
"A prisoner?"
"Yes, but don't distress yourself. You
will come to no harm. You will be
treated with every respect."
Beyond this Miss Van Deveer could
get no satisfaction. She at last con
sented to go to her room, where she
was locked In.
She had not been there long before
the door was opened and a note was
thrown In. It read:
\'our treatment of mo has made me
desperate. I have kidnaped you and
nhall hold you till you have promised to
bo my wife. If you wlgh to see me, rliuf.
and I will send for you.
P. TOWNSEND.
It was but a few minutes before a
ring was heard downstairs. Then a
maid threw open the door and conduct
ed Miss Van Deveer to the drawing
room, where Mr. Townsend awaited
her.
"What crazy freuk Is this?" she de
mantled haughtily.
"If I am crazy I have been made so
by love for you."
"I demand to be seut home Immedi
ately. They will be frightened at my
absence. It Is not proper that I should,
be here iu your house."
"As to the first I care nothing. As to
the second, you shall Ik- treated as be
comes the lady you are."
"Do you realize that when my being
here Is known, as It will be If 1 do not
leave Immediately, I shall be severely
criticised?"
"All the more reason for you to com
ply with the terms of ransom and go
at once."
The lady was talking excitedly, the
gentleman as coolly ns If he were an
Italian bandit ready to cut off her ear
and send It to her relatives.
"I supposed. Frank Townsend, that
you were reckless, but I never took
you for a fool."
"A fool will pull the house down
over his head and the woman he
loves."
"Do you mean to say that you will
permit this act to be known among
your friends and be cut by every one
of them? As soon as they hear all
they will exonerate me."
"If I can't win you 1 am ready to bo
cut by the whole world."
There was 110 promise of relenting.
Miss Van Deveer stood looklug at her
captor with a curious expression.
Through all her blowing hot and cold
she h: d intended to marry him. In
deed. she was desperately In love with
him. Tf she allowed this unheard of
affair to proceed It meant ruin to nil
concerned. There was no alternative
except capitulation.
"Order the carriage," she said.
"It is at the door, and my coachman
is on the box. Come. I can get you
home before the dinner hour."
Mr. Townsend and Miss Van Deveer
got Into the carriage together, and the
former's coachman drove them to their
home, which they reached Just as the
family were sitting down to dinner,
lie did not receive an Invitation to
dine. Indeed, It was a month before the
lady would receive him, but he was
patient and In time was rewarded by
being forgiven.
When the wedding occurred, at
which many of New York's nabobs
were present and the bride promised
to love, honor and obey, no ono sus
pected how her consent h," l heon won
;? A Lawyer's first Lost Case J
[Original.]
Myron Woodworth was aa attorney
Just passing middle age. He was
known as the lawyer who had never
lost a case. Whether this was becau.se
he would not take a case that he was
not sure of or was so resourceful that
his opponents could never defeat hliu
does not appear. The fact remains
thnt until the Yardley case was tried
no judge or Jury had ever brought a
flnal decision or verdict against him.
Upon that case hangs a tale.
Mrs. Yardley died, leaving some $10,
000 to a sister, Mrs. Hunt, who had
nursed her In her last illness, cutting
otT her own daughter. Julia Scott, a
young married woman living In a dif
ferent place. Mrs. Scott undertook to
break the will <>u the ground that her
aunt had Influenced her mother whllo
under the effect of opiates to leave her
property to the auut. No one doubted
up to the last moment that Wood worth
would win. for he had established
every point needed to establish his
plea. There was but one more witness
to examine, whose testimony was not
supposed to be Important.
The defendant's counsel called for |
Margaret Hunt, and the name was re
peated by the clerk with no more rev- I
erence than lie would have spoken the |
name of a habitual crimlual. There
was a rustle of woman's dress, aud a
young girl? she was the daughter of
the defendant? passed to the witness
stand. Her very appearance begot an
unconscious deference in every man in
the courtroom.
Wood worth at the moment of her en
trance was chatting with u fellow at
torney. When he turned ids eyes to I
the witness they rested upon a vision [
it loveliness. Not only he, but Judge
Jury? Indeed, every one In the court? |
fell under the spell of her presence
In a voice low aud sweet she respond
ed to the questions put to her by the
defendant's counsel, who elicited from
her testimony which If not shaken
might yet turn the case against the
plaintiff. But those who knew Wood
worth did not fear. It was upon cross
examination that he was especially
strong. Indeed, as he listened to her |
evidence he saw a weak point that de
stroyed its value. She had repeated a i
conversation she had heard between
her mother and the testator In which
the former urged the latter to leave
her property to hpr daughter, Jul la
Scott. Hut the witness had said that
she was not In the room and did not
see those who were talking.
When Woodworth took the witness |
for cross examination and stood fram
ing his tlrst question a slight tremor I
passed over the girl, and she cast a [
quick glance at the Judge as If to be
seech protection. Then she turned her I
eves back on the lawyer, bit her lip as |
If to gain courage and submitted her
self to be tormented. She did not
doubt for a moment that Woodworth I
would prove her a perjurer.
"Miss Hunt." he said, "how far was I
the room in which you were when you [
overheard the conversation you have
mentioned from the room In which the |
conversation occurred?"
A troubled look passed over the face I
of the witness, and she did not answer |
the question.
The busbaml of the testator had been
a physician, and his house? the house
in which the conversation occurred -
was fitted with a speaking tube be
tween the front door and the doctor's
bedroom. Ills widow occupied the
bedroom to which the tube led. Miss
Hunt, standing at the front door di
recll.v Ik- fore the lower lube mouth
awaiting admittance, had heard the
conversation through the tube. Wood
worth knew this and was prepared to
make the statement appear improb
able. lie might force her to admit that
she was not in the house at all, then
deny her a chance to tell how she had
overheard the conversation.
lie stood looking at the girl, who
looked at him with all the gentle re
proaclifuluess of a fawn regarding a
hunter about to plunge a knife into Its
throat. Then her eyes became dimmed
with tears.
Woodworth's case was lost. All he
had to do to win It was to draw out
the girl's testimony so as to make It
nppear to the ,1ury a weak luventlon.
He knew In fact, as well as by her
guiltless hearing, that she spoke the
truth. At the moment of triumph he
give lip victory, gave up h!n client's
ease, which he was Pi dut\ bound
to win.
"Let me see." he s.ii !. I >oking dawn
at some uotes l.e had i..ado on a bit of
paper. 'Terhaps I can got at it in an
other way."
The other wny CM lea.! to the
speaking tube or to anything th.it
would compromise the wltn< ;<?. After
asking a number of Irrelevant ques
tions he released her from further ex
amination.
Every one wondered. The Jury
brought In a verdict for the defendant.
Woodworth went from the court
room to his oflice, where he wrote a
note to his client lnfortniug her that
the case had been lost through his own
fault and Inclosing his check for $10.
000.
But If the attorney lost the man
hoped to gain. Every man has an
Ideal for his wife. It is seldom that
the ideal Is realized, but when Wood
worth saw Margaret Hunt In the wit
ness stand he recognized something
more than be had ever pictured In his
Imagination. He sought her out and
eventually married her. He says that
if he lost the case In which she was a
witness and $10,000 he won a bless
ing that no success could equal. Be
sides, he has made up the pecuniary
loss many times over.
