Nathan gave a heavy knock at the door. In a moment the ponderous gateway was open, and the two soli-

citors were ushered into the clerk's office at the side. Both, in their impatience, began shouting at the same time, " I've

called to pay the fine " " One at a time, gentlemen," interfered the steady-going clerk. " In the case of Katherine Merton," said Mr. Simcox. " I give

you notice that you do not hand over the body to Mr. Nathan here "

" And I have come to give you similar notice not to part with her to this gentleman ; I claim her on behalf of the husband."
