 T think, though" continued Claw ering, that Harry vii do everything to make his wife divorce him. now that she has begun action. She has been miilstone about his neck"
 Perhaps. but at least she has been true to him" remarked Davis.
 "Granted." said his friend. but Dave, your remark suggests DeMau- passant's story. The Jewels. The concluding paragraph. freely translat- ed. reads something like this: His second wife's virtue was unassailable, but she made him perfectly miser- able.'"
 Then you think Glendening is through. Jim2" questioned Davis. Mi.- ton. who was listening intently. though he detected an undertone of anxiety in Davis voice.
 Yes. Dave, I think he Is through. And I think he will do anything to get a divorce. except to bring into the case the name of the woman he has loved for several years"
