SYNOPSIS Allan MacNally, young attorney, marries beautiful Jerry Brokaw, ~~ who doesn’t want her husband to handle divorce cases. When their friend, Jeff Gilman, how- et ever, is sued for divorce by a ‘revengeful wife, Jerry lets Al- lan take the case. 5 ' CHAPTER VII With all her: disapproval, Jerry still couldn't stay away from the courtroom ‘when Jeff's case came to row of benches, her eyes found Al- lan, busy at the counsel's table. If never know it. He looked as calm ~ tened to the witness testify. Jerry eyed the witness. She was in her forties, surely. But you would never have known it from the way it. A hat with flowers, a rather in- describable fur neck piece also flow- er bedecked, ear rings, bracelets, ruffles on it than it had a right to. She was apparently. enjoying her session, and making the most of an judge. “And because I am young and in- nocent like a child,” she whined, “I that, your Honor, is why I ask two hundred dollars a month alimony and two thousand dollars for legal ! fees,” she wound up glibly. Her lawyer bounded up. “And you left your husband and went and a taffeta dress that had more | audience to listen to her alleged | woes. Jerry felt like smacking her, , when she turned teary eyes on the listen to him and I marry him. And, know a Miss you ever Peppy Chickonia ?”’ “I certainly did,” Appleby replied with feeling. “Is she asked. “You bet she is. She's right over there,” he said, pointing at Jeff's wife. “You married her, I believe, on or about the eighth of July, 1934,” he went on. “And she divorced you in Mexico a year later?” “That’s what she wrote and told me,” the witness replied. “You're sure the divorce was granted in Mexico ?”” Mac demanded. “All 1 know is what she wrote and told me at the time. I have the letter here,” he said, fishing for it. “And all this time you've been paying her alimony,” Mac asked. “Twenty-five bucks a month out of my salary, regular, and I've got receipts to prove it,” Appleby vol- here in court?” Mac Based on a story by ADELA ROGERS ST.

Even the judge seemed startled. “A fish—you mean a real fish?” he asked. “Yes,” she nodded, “A halibut.” : “] turn the witness over to the defense,” the lawyer pronounced, triumphantly. “No questions,” Mac said quietly. Jerry was astounded. What on earth was in his mind, she won- dered. This witness was any law- ~ yer's meat. She had plainly been given a pat story to tell, and it should have been a cinch to tear it to pieces. Even Jerry had spotted holes in it a mile wide. Yet Mac let her go without even attempting to trip her up. Even the judge acted as though he hadn't heard ~ correctly. “No questions, Mr. MacNally ?” he asked, puzzled. ‘Please don’t take offense at the interference, but I know you are new to this sort ‘of thing, and if you'd care to take a little more time . .. 7” “Thank you, your Honor,” Allan replied, “but I have no questions. I should like Mr. Gilman to take the stand.” I hope he knows what he’s doing, Jerry though grimly to herself, as Jeff stepped up, and took the oath, ‘locking completely wretched. lan’s questions brought out very little, beyond how he met his wife, their rather hasty marriage, and ‘the fact that her entire family— father, mother, two brothers and a sister, moved in with them right after the wedding. He was on his + way with more details when Mac “interrupted. “That will be all, Mr. Gilman,” he told Jeff. “But that isn’t all,” Jeff protest- ed. “That IS all,” Allan repeated curtly. “I turn the witness over to ‘the Prosecution.” “No questions,” Mrs. Gilman's lawyer announced with a cocksure air, ‘ The judge was gathering up his papers and going over them, Mrs. Gilman was beaming in anticipa- tion, and poor Jeff, Jerry noticed, wore the look of a sick dog. Only Mac seemed unworried. He must be out of his head, was all she could figure, Then there was a bustle in _ the back of the last row of benches. A husky Marine in uniform had just entered and was striding down the aisle toward the front. He spoke quietly to Jeff and then headed for the witness stand, and tock the oath as Mac asked permis- sion to question one more witness, Mr. Appleby. “Mr. Appleby,” he started, “did Al-| Mexican divorce from Mr. Appleby phad not been properly substantiated, and because I have reason to believe it never existed, I move that my client, Mr. Jeff Gilman, has never dt any time been legally married to the Plaintiff.” He paused and then asked that the case be dismissed. The Judge wasted little time in granting Mac’s request, and ordered further that Mrs. Gilman be held for questioning on the grounds of perjury. On the way out of the courtroom, Jerry realized that the crowd had shoved her smack against the broad, well tailored back of Er- neskine Brandon. He was talking to his secretary and she couldn't help hearing what he said. “Boy,” Brandon exclaimed enthu- siastically. “He certainly pulled that one right out of the fire. Be sure to remind me to phone him tomorrow. He and I would make a fine team.” So Brandon was still after him! Jerry looked facts very squarely in the face. Their bills were ready to inundate them. They both were so worried that it was getting on their nerves and spoiling their disposi- NDELL tions. They could never spend any money for fun, and it was begin-. ning to tell on them. She wondered whether she had been fair about the whole thing. There were some | cases, she rationalized, like this | one of Jeff’s that could never have straightened out unless a good law- yer took them over. It would have been a case of rank injustice if Mrs. Gilman had been allowed to get away with what she tried. After all, she reasoned, what right | had she to interfere with Mac's ca- reer? Perhaps her whole feeling about divorce had been prejudiced by Wanda’s case. Well, Wanda was one girl who should never have gone | near a court room, she had to ad-! By the time she got home, Jerry was ready to own up to her-| self that she might have been un- | fair about extracting the promise | from Mac that he would steer clear | of divorce cases. She decided to let him have a try at it—say six months | 1 { ever know a Miss Pepp Chickonia ?” —If he still wanted to. Then they could start climbing out of debt, and it would give her a chance to see whether her opinions had been right or wrong. She ran to Mac's arms as she heard him come in the door, and shouted. ‘Double congratulations, darling. You were marvelous.” “How do you know, you weren’t there, were you?” he asked. “Do you think I'd let you make your court debut without me within earshot ?”’ she wanted to know. \ “Well, thanks, baby, it wasn’t such a crime, now was it ?”’ he ban- tered. “No, I'm glad you showed that crow up.
