CHAPTER 10

LEE ASSIDUOUSLY attacked an
imaginary spot on his coat lapel
Rubbing it between thumb and fore
finger he said slowly, "Dr. Hender-
son, I don't know much about how

posed to. Would you mind explain

issue of this case? 2"
'I felt it was a shameful piece of
work on the part of any teacher"
came DR.. Henderson's prompt reply.
'That boy didn't bluff his way-he
couldn't. He didn't know as much
grammar as a grade school child.
Any teacher would have spotted
him" He shrugged a little. "I
might as well admit it before some-
one else does it for me-" His glance
fell on Walker who bowed ironically.

teacher and I have said so to both
DR.. Wilson and DR.. Walker. I felt
that he ought not to remain on the
staff. 1 hope you will believe. officer,

me to make about the man now. But

Lee ignored the mans apology and
pushed ahead.
DR.. Henderson pondered for
minute before replying. you prob
ably know that when any older man

a group of younger people, the rela-

her several times about it, always, of

"He evidently found out about it

wasn't important and he'd UNDER

he threatened toto kill me if I saw

It'll never forget it," replied
Jameson with a shiver. "He kept
shouting so it's unimportant that
you make love to my wife behind my
back, is it? BY God. TIL kill you for
that!'"
"And what did you answer?"
Nothing. I didn't want to tell

II doubt il any of us knew much
about him personally, unless it was
young Jameson here with whom he
shared an Office. He didn't take very
kindly to our overtures of friendship.
Perhaps he wasn't such good
teacher. But I could never under
stand why DR.. Henderson disliked
him so much for that. He grinned
companionably at the man of whom
he spoke.
"You see, he showed signs of being
an excellent research man and that's
what DR.. Henderson is. He was
young of course, but his thesis on
Ambrose Bierce was a most arrest
ing piece of work. A poor teacher
but a good research man. That's
about all I know of him."
Lee turned away in disgust.
