Bradford’s accusation of cheating
put Daviot in a position that was
perplexing, not to say untenable.
Though he knew of course that the
charge was false, and though most
of the others were convinced of it,
it was impossible for him to per-

Bradford a chance to create an

WHAT HAS GCfriE BEFORE:
Major George Daviot, whose
wi/e Aane has left him because
of Mo absorbed interest in Josie
Bradford, goes to a weekend
■arty at which Josie and her
husband, Captain Bradford, are
present. Capt. Bradfrod, who is
Daviot’s subordinate officer,
•hows Ms enmity toward Daviot
because of the latter’s domestic
“poaching". dt a late poker
game, Daviot wins heavily from
from owe of the players,
Grant, who drunkenly accuses
him of cheating. Daviot, to
whose honest playing Josie is a
witness, is about to force a re-
cantation from Grant when
Bradford seconds Ms accusation.
But the mud had already been
thrown, and court action or no
action, it proved black, unsavory
and adhesive. Through the medium
of whispers — at flr?t stealthy and
covert, then gradually more open—
the story of Captain Bradford’s un-
defended charge of card cheating
against Major Daviot began to
make the rounds. And it was so
much the worse for George, a short
time later, when, playing bridge in
the officers’ mesa, he reneged
through nervousness while Bradford
was watching the game. And the
whispers, of course, increased in
volume and malignancy.
Meanwhile Anne, leading an aim-
less and unhappy life in Paris,
waited with dwindling hope foe a
letter from George — some word
that might open the door to a re-
conciliation with the husband she
still loved. But none came. For
George, now completely atone, and
with the bitterness of his unmerit-
ed disgrace gnawing at hie soul,
drew further and further into hl.,
shell.
Desiring 'to get away from hi?
regimental associations for a while,
perhaps in the hope that the Ugly
affair would be forgotten In ttane,
he applied to the Colonel for leave
and received It with some reluct-
ance. He mowdS temporarily with
his orderly, Tandy, to the gentle-

While George was packing hit
bags, his friends. Cinderford, Roper,
Cowbit and Pontrefact solemnly
filed into the room to dissuade him
from his intention to bring suit.
“What the devil is the matter
with you?” demanded George.
“Bradford accused me of cheating.
I didn't cheat. I can’t fight a duel.
Therefore — "
They began to argue with him.
Reasons.. .glib, oily reasons from a
number of viewpoints; from any
viewpoint but that of a man intent
on keeping his good name clear.
George could not sue, they pointed
out, without bringing Josie's name
into the case. Besides, whether he
won satisfaction in court or not,
mud had a way of sticking. And
further—Pontrefact came out with
it at last— the publicity would be
unpleasant for all of them.
“At last you’ve admitted your
motive," George bitterly, picking up
his bags. “Very well, gentlemen,
you may save your skins. You have
my undertaking not to sue."

name with Daviot's.
In fact. Bradford did not miss
the opportunity for a thrust at
George by mentioning, during the
heated discussion that followed his
accusation, the fact that George
had been living beyond his Income
and now missed the resources of
his wealthy wife, Anne, who had
left him.
“Well, no use any more talking,"
eaid George, restraining his anger
at the trumped-up charges. ‘TH see
my lawyer on Monday.” He started
for the stairs leading toward his
room.
Josie Bradford, flashing a hate-
ful look at her husband, followed
George and overtook him in the
hall.
“George, that was marvelous of
you, keeping me out of it!"
He held her close in his arms.
"What did you expect?"
"What are you going to do?" she
aaked after a moment.
"Take action, of course. It would

"But there are two of them

My Thought. About High School
When I finish Eureka School, and on
to High School go,
I’m sure I want to keep up and not
be considered slow.
Going to High School means working
very hard.
And to get around In that big build-

One question puules me—how can I

And after my vacation, I’ll have to
face this new situation.
