soon ripens into love and, ultimately, in
4 the marriage of Julian and Margaret.
y This is not Julian's first love affair. He
was desperately in love with Claire Fos-
y ter, charming but extremely worldly
creature, who loved his purse more than
she care for him. He had been engaged
i to her and had received terrible shock
\ when he discovered that he was one OF
N the many men in her life. He had threat
4 ened to kill himself and Claire had mock
ingly taken the revolver out of his hand
land then kept it because it had his in
itials on the handle.
Julian has told all this to Margaret
N and she has been big enough to forgive
him for his foolshness. Then one day he
n discovers that Phillip Long, one of his
\ best friends, so engaged to Claire, and
& he tells him his story in order to save
y him. Long refuses to believe the story
until Julian goes with him to Claires
A apartment and wrings a confession from
n her. In his agony of mind, Long shoots
himself before Claire. and the girl, bent
upon revenging herself upon Julian, calls
the police and swears that Julian killed
Long in a quarrel over her, producing the
initiated revolver as evidence.
When Margaret learns of her husbands
Il arrest, her faith In him is mistaken and
she determines to save him. A confess
sion from Claire is the only means of
clearing him and she resolves to make a
\ tremendous sacrifice to get it,. Taking an
apartment near that of Claire, she pre-
tends to be one of her own sort and
!! gradually works herself into the girls
confidence Time after time she endeavors
\ to get a confession from Claire but fails,
N until she succeeds in getting her suffi-
Y GENTLY intoxicated to be caught off her
guard and the name of Julian is forever
N cleared of the charge against him.
