Of these, one pair swt together in deep chairs upholstered in brown leather, off to the right and before a long black mahogany table: One was a man approaching middle age, and the other, a younger, hand some woman. A second couple, both youngish men, sat to the left of the table, directly opposite the first two.

He thus directly confronted the sixth per son, a man, seated on the other side of the table. Outwardly, the gathering appeared peaceful and quiet enough. Yet an hlert witness pould have sensed, be neath, the surface, a pi-egnant air of tension, an almost explosive clash'of; human emotions, the chief of which; were a mutual distrust and hostility. ^ The woman on the right wa.s clearly angr>', though she subdued and si^! pressed her resentment. Her eyes gns-; tened metallically, in distinct menace; she compressed her lips fvindidively, ■ arid clenched her hands in:-her lap un-; til her knuckles whiten^ with the pressure.

Beads of sweat glisteneil on his wrink- le<l brow, and from time^ to .time he wiped it nervously with a kerchief. Of the "other pair, the apparent calm of the younger man was also de- ^ceptive; Actually, he beirt forward in his chair, taut and alert to everythmg that transpired. The man sitting be-' aide him wore an expression of anx iety and indignation. (^ly Mr. Dawson and ihe sixth per son in front of him, at the table, gave no intimation of being troubled by the provocations swaying the others.

The rest is a matter of proof for these hearings, at which the de tails will be fully established by the testimony of witnesses.” Said the woman’s attorney, “Just the s»ame, Mr. Master, it isn’t enough. The answer fails to identify the man with whom Mrs. Rowland is alleged immoral relations. He to have had and less agitated of the two.men on ishould have received notice of the his left, the lawyer for the defense. Mr. Trumbull nodded. is, Mr., Master,” he replied casually. “Then we must now consider* the significance and bearing on the case of your claims,” Mr. Dawson said. “You are . . . ” ' The woman’s companion leaned for ward suddenly and raised his hand. “Just a moment, Mr. Master,” he intem^ited Mr, Dawson swiftly, “I object to the introduction by the re spondent of any evidence impugning Mrs. Rowland’s chastity or the con duct of her private Hfe.’ ~ Mr. Trumbull turned sharply and inimically toward the speaker, as Mr. Dawson lounged still farther back in his swivel chair and folded his hands. “On whs»i grounds, Mr. Willard?” he inquired calmly. “Because, Mr. Master/’ Mr. Willard replied eagerly, “wben’Tdr. Rowland originally answered these divorce pro ceedings by his wife, he made no st^- charge, so he could appear and refute it, if he chose,* just as any co-respond ent might. He » as much a party to this action as Mr. Rowland, or his young lady. Miss Edmond.” ^ "He ha.s been fully" informed of it, Mr. Willard,” Mr. Trumbull returned quickly; “in fact, he is present in the outer office. I have subpoenaed him a posable witness. as Instantly, Mr. Willard leapt to his feet, and extended both arms; his flushed features ruddy with anger, he trembled in agitation. “Mr. Master, I insist this entire pro ceeding is irrelevant and inadmis sible!” he cried hoarsely. “It’s a put- dp job to attack, my client and sully her reputation because she has ex posed her husband’s infidelity with Miss EJdmond and establisl^ her right to a divorce.

"Both of you gentlemen, be seated,” he ordered brusque!^. “This meeting will be conduct^ in a respectable, courteous manner or not at all . . . Mr. Simpkins, you will {Hease diSTC^ gard these last remarks in your notes.” The clerk nodded. When the two at torneys had reseated themselves, Mr. Dawson addressed Mr. Trumbull. "I think we may proceed with the business. No doubt, you are fully pre pared to sustain your cqnteniton that Mrs. Rowland was unfaithful to her husband?” “Yes, Mr. Master.” Mr. Trumbull nodded; theh hesitated, somewhat un certainly. “By an unusual (set of cir cumstances, my client can produce^ a young lady, who was almost an eye witness to' her affair. . She is in this suite now, waiting to be summoned to hiake her disposition.” ‘“This woman is your first witnesa of the afternoon, Mr. Trumbull?” tbe master inquired. “Yee, I shall offer her evidence now. Afterward, if there is still time today, my client himself will take the chair to support her statements.” Mr. Willard rose again, more calm and self-poseeesed. ^ “I enter an objection, Mr, Master, to-hearing any tostimony by Mrs.— by Mr. Rowland’s witness. It is impos sible that she has any <hreot knowl edge of this action. She Is barely ac quainted wlrii my sister and not on the best of terms, ivin fact, there are etraine<t relations between them, which would prejudice her against my client and fender her evidence valueless.” “I deny that!” Mr. Trumbull an swered excitedly. “Her information .is personal, the result of her own obser vation. And ber position is unimpeach able. She is a membdr of Phila<telphia society*and the wife of one of Hs most prominent citizens; she would never lend herself to anything dishonoraMe.” “Nevertheless, her word, cannot be accepted in these circumstances,” Mr. Willard maintained. “Antagonism is apt to blind her to the truth.” Unexpectedly, the woman inter posed, as though compelled by her re sentment .she could irot contain. “Mrs. Keith isn't to be trusted,” she insisted angrily. “She’s utterly urnnor- al and holds a grudge against me.” Allen Rowland as promptly 'to(^ up th cudgris. “That’s a damned Ue^’ he flared. “She hlui an excellent reputa- Big Sale Starts Here Friday - J.
