meets Maru Knowles, a girl VINO

prevents her from jumping in the
river and through old friends, the
Nights, obtains employment for
them both. He loses II at length
because his sympathy for those who
suffer clashes with the business
ideals OF his employer, and also he
believes he has lost the love OF
Mary when he finds her in anothers
arms.
John forgets his conscience.
