PAT and MARIAN FORBES. who have three children and whose domestic life is unhappy because of Pat's roving ten- dencies. Previous chapters fold lion: John was fascinated on meet- ing NELL ORME. of whom Forbes hints that she is having trouble with her husband. Fay took JUDITH. the baby. to Washington to visit her parents. and during her ab- sence Jolln "ran around" a good deal. mostly with Pat Forbes. When Fay returned gossip had totalled some of his actions and sharp quarrels fol- lowed. one of which drove him “out on a tear." Fay. learning he had been out with other Iro- mcn. threatened to leave him if it was repeated. _ John finds that people are talking about him. Illd NAT GRAHAM. his partner. charges his actions are damaging the ilrm's reputation. John later. by accident. meets Nell Orme at the Boyds'. lle resolves not to see her again. realising that she is carrying him on his feet. but see her he does. and the day comes when he madly takes her in his arms. Fay. learning of it. goes through with her throat. She leaves him. taking Judith with her. John finds that his world has tumbled about his ears. He closes up the house and takes an apartment. later he tries to negotiate a personal loan at his bank. gets in an argument with HENRY BUODGETT. and. when the other makes a reference to his wife leaving him. John smacks him. Later that day he is served with a warrant for assault and battery. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY (The names and situation In this story are delirious.) CHAPTER XLVIII ‘6 U mean." Jobs, with a blank i. _look. asked the clear. "you mean I'm arrested?" “That‘s right. This fellow Henry Blodgett swore out a warrant. Says you attacked him without provow lion in his office." John laughed mirthleesly. “Well. this is good. Come here. Briggs." The little artist. glad of a word trons this moody employer of his. hastened over. "I'm under arrest. Briggs. for slapping a man in the face who insulted me. Can you beat it?” He laughed again. Briggs said seriously. "You'd bet- ter get hold of a lawyer. It might mean trouble for you. "Where's Graham?” John asked. Briggs told him Graham had gone out. “You'd better not say anything to him about this. You know how h. “I" John earned to be considering it. "Gus. you're right.” he lid anally. "Still. I thought it would be quite a treat for Nat. Will you try to get Paul Davidson on the ”one?" "Right." Briggs sprang into no tion. .

John told him. “I'm only sorry." besddes. "thatltlidn‘tbreskbls in Just as well you didn't mark him up. As it is I think we‘ve got him licked. I know we have. I'll give him the darndcst hiding in court that you ever saw anybody get." "Goodi" John set his mouth grim- iy. "You say." l‘nul went on. "that“ "Absolutely necessary." Blodgett stated loudly. “And in telling the defendant that his character was not all that it should be you were merely giving him very frankly your reason. as a banker. why you could not consider his application?" forgive the slang." you gave him no cause whatsoever to make these remarks?" "None whatever—unless asking for a loan could be construed as cause." . "Hardly. Oh, the fellow hasn't much of a leg to stand on. He‘s Just the sort of person. however. who thinks he's entitled to most of the privileges in this world. There» fore he's trying to order the law around." "He should have lived in the days of Cotton Mather and witch-burn- ing." John remarked. "What a love iy figure he would have made at the head of an Inquisition!" "A sort of super-reformer. eh?" "Exactly. And custodian of the neighborhood's morals." I I I Davidson tried unsuccessfully to get the charge against John nolied. but Blodgett seemed to be a person of influence and the police proso- cutor threw up his hands in disgust. "The most vindictive bird I ever saw in my life!" be exclaimed to Paul. “We'll have to go through with it. I'm afraid. He thinks he’s going to send Milburn to the rock pile for about 80 days-he'd like to make it life. I guess." He smiled ruefully. “I tried to show him that if Milburn had any provocation at all he'd he laughed out of court—but no use. I suppose I’ll have to do the best I can. but I know you're going to give me a. flaking." A rather unusual way for a prow outor to talk. John thought. when Paul told him. "Not at all." David- son assured him. "He doesn't like to handle a, weak case. It doesn't look good fr him when he's beaten." The trial.“ it could actually be dignified by that title-was little more than a Joke. The prosecutor did the best he could. but his heart was not in his work. The whole case. as Davidson point- adouahiagedon whatwastobe considered legitimate provocation to strike another man. The mates staunchly maintained that the plain- tidhsdbeenstnickintbefsceas he was seated in his ethos chairs- all because the dehudant had been ttrrned down on his a n for a loan. Unprovoked assault. he termed it. Will Hodgett in the witness chair. he draw out the details of John's visit. ' - “And it is necessary. isn't it. Mr. Biodgett.’ the prosecutor salted. "that good character be pretty den- hwmmusmmlsu "Exactly. That was the only rea‘ son." "Object." put in Davidson. And so it proceeded. The judge. a prematurely old-looking young man. with shell rim glasses and bald head. could hardly repress the smile that occasionally rose to his lips. But Davidson. when he got hold of iiilodgett. figuratively bore the man from limb to limb. "Did you tell the defendant.” he asked. "that his character was bad?" "I told him it was not all it should be." "That's equivalent. isn't it. to say- ing it was bad?" “i suppose so." "And had anyone else ever told you that he had a bad character?" “It was hardly necessary to be told. I can observe things for air self." "Ohi You set yourself up as Judge and Jury. do you? You know. of course. the difference between char- acter and reputationl" Blodgett said the two amounted to pretty much the same thing. "Not at all." said Davidson. shak- ing a finger at him. "Character is what is in a man: reputation is what he is known by. A banker. for instance. can have the reputa- tion of being a miser and skinnlnt and still not have the traits in his character." "I was satisfied." Blodgett slited srlmlro "that his character was not substantial enough to warrant our extending him any considerable credit." "And where was his‘ character bad? What do you know about this defendant that makes him any worse than you are?” “He drinks." said Blodgett. "and it is agalaat the law to drink." "I see. Did you ever see him take a drink?” "No. but I’ve seen him come home in an intoxicated condition." "How many times?" "Well. Just once. that I remember. He was with another man. It was about 2 o'clock in the morning. and he made a loud speech on his trout lawn." The judge had to rep for order. “Audio your opiates that was proof conclusive that he was inton- catedf A loss doesn’t make‘speesbas on his front lawn unless he ‘is drunk?” ' never denied it.“ Diod- gett all. "Did you ever ask hint?” Paul went on. "N’s" “lees. Newthendetrneaekm dent of some big business in town here came to you and asked for a loan. You know that his credit was good. Would you refuse him a loan if you knew that he took a drink occasionally in defiance of the pro- hibition law?" Biodgett colored. "I hardly see the parallel." he said with an attempt at cold dignity. "I want you to answer the ques- I . l 1‘ "The defendant had sufiicicnt provocation to knock his block off. if the court will “You might. Then you admit that in his case you would be breaking a rule and extending credit to a man with a bad character. Is that true?" "Not necessarily." Biodgett said in exasperation. Davidson laughed sarcasticaily. He proceeded than to pin Blodgett down to an instance of the "midnight revels" he had accused John of bold- ing in his house. and Blodgett. sweating. could not deliver. "Never mind." Davidson reminded him once. ”You've plenty of time. You're responsible for betting the do fondant in court. You've surely got time to see it through." "I have business to transact.” Blodgett told him. "Well. it can wait. You've said some pretty grave things about my client in open court. For one thing. you made the statement that his wife had left him. implying that she was never coming back. As a matter of tact. you wanted to think that. didn't you? You were only guessing. weren’t you?” "I'm not so thick that I can’t see beneath the surface of things." re- marked Biodgett. "I know they quarrelcd." “Did you ever quarrel with your own wife?" "0! course not." And at this statement a loud guffaw rang through the little courtroom. “Well. I congratulate your wife." said Davidson. and another laugh went up. “You've made charges against this man that you can't sub- stantiate. It seems to me he has pretty good grounds to bring suit against you for defamation of char- acter. Your honor." he went on. addressing the court. "I think you will agree that I have established beyond a doubt that. this man enter- tained a personal prejudice against the defendant. that he is malicious andnarslessinthewsybetaiks about him. "Your honor. no man is safe these days when wolves of the type of this man sitting here go around circulat- ing evil and malicious reports about other people's character.
