Miss Terry, very learned in the law, will, l

Please. please do not worry. Thank you.
Mr.. Garfield. Thank YOU"
Mr. II now Lieutenant - Robert Denny,
hung up. He looked as if he had been trying
to do million things at once. He had. His
uniform needed couple of downward yanks
to make it snugly fit shoulders developed by
college rowing. His eyes alternately grew fever
bright as he contemplated the exciting days
ahead, and glazed with confusion as he real
lied he must put his affairs in order in
matter of hours.
He RETAINED his clutch on the junior part

and if you darling jury, your worthy oppo-
nent will move for mistrial if the case is
going against him.
He mopped his brow. opened brief case,
and thumbed through its files of pending
cases. "Ah, here it is - Garfield VS.. Ballard.

before, then I've established a precedent,
Most lawyers neoer establish precedent"
She could imagine lawyer five hundred
wears after her death saying, In the case Of
Garfield VS.. Ballard, jurist named Tessie
Terry established the precedent. -
She called up Mr.. Garfield, and was hardly
able to conceal her excitement. "Mr. Gar
field" she almost painted, 'tit's in the bag
think. Could have photograph of your
painting? %. Oh, in the safe-deposit vault.
Naturally I'll be there with photographs
at three O'Clock. Okay?"
Then she called up Mr. Ballard and said,
This is Miss Terry - Mr. Garfelds attor-
ney. May see you sometime between now
and two O'Clock? 80. No, we don't want to
settle. I want your expert artistic opinion on
something. Thank you. One O'Clock will
be fine"
MIR. Ballard proved to be man of many
chips, if the pictures and o6jets dart scattered
about his large home were any indication.
Tessie said, II have here book of ancient
Chinese paintings. Will you be good enough
to tell me which are authentic Fongs and
which are probably fraudulent"
MIR. Ballard SKINNED through the book
They're all authentic. A fraud wouldn't be
permitted in that volume. You'll notice that
Garfeld's painting isn't included?"
Il noticed" she said. She also noticed that
MIR. Ballard was not only contemptuous of
Garfeld's painting, but not particularly inn
pressed by Garfeld's attorney.
But Tessie was all smiles when she depart
ed. Thanks a million, Mr. Ballard I'll see
you in court"
"And let's make it soon," he replied. I
don't like the case hanging over my head
indefinitely"
That will be taken care of within week.
"A week." he was astounded. Garfield
can't get his authorities here in that time. !"
''The word is authority" she said. "Singu-
lar"
FIVE days later the junior partner stepped
into the senior partners Office. Good morn
ing, darling Tell me, did you ever establish
precedent"
Never did," Judge Melrose answered
My dear girl, when you've practiced law as
long as have. you'll realize that precedents
don't grow on bushes"
did Grandfather or my father ever estao
lish precedent"
Never. think Abner Terry established
one of minor nature, hundred and twenty

Then it's about time Terry established

he looked in again. I'm selfish orute.

Tough break. But you remember what
your grandfather used to say?"
She nodded, and he felt better. Slong.
Her grandfather had invariably told the
young lawyers IN his firm: The smallest
case in the humblest court leaves its impress
sion, and the sum total of many experiences
comprises the working tools OF the lawyer.
Cultivate a retentive memory"
Tessie smiled wyly 1T doesn't take much
of memory to retain the sum total OF my
experiences" /" she thought.
The following morning Mr.. Garfield called.
He was quiet, gloomy man. A series OF finan-
cial reverses had tended to make him chroni-
cally fear the worst ''You are overloaded
now, Miss Terry" he said. Perhaps | should
take the case elsewhere I'd thought of Hart
and Soule -"
Ethics prevented her from explaining that
Hart and Soule were pair of second-rate
lawyers who had formed partnership be-
cause their combined names would attract
attention.
Tessie talked fast, and when she had fin
ished MIR. Garfield said, We'll, I'll let things
slide along for ten days. Mine is an authentic
Fong, and we must prove it" Desperation
crept into his voice. We've got to-"
Afterwards Tessie hurried to the library,
got books on Chinese art, and located color
photographs of authentic Fongs There did
seem to be difference between them, but she
couldn't determine which might possibly
carry an alcoholic touch and which had been
painted by cold-sober Fong.
She put in bad night When she slept,
Fong came and spoke to her in Chinese He
was gay dog, and he, like the walls of the
room, was plastered.
She arrived at the Office an hour late, and
the telephone operator looked shocked
IHAr Allison boy has been waiting an
hour. He's out on bail, you know, and he
wants you to get him suspended sentence"
Send him in"
As she sat down, the file of Garfield VS..
Ballard stared her in the face.
"Goodmoning, Fong, darling, 'shesnapped.
Then Allison came in. "You and your
fingerprints," she said.

confined to justice and police courts. Or had
you heard?"
"It's your hour to gloat." he said I've
tried to make it 50 tough you'd quit. Now the
chickens have come home to roost."
'Ive dreamed this moment would come,
but who would have dreamed it would come
under such circumstances? But don't feel
triumphant. Sort of humble, rather"
Until this moment, Tess" he answered,
II haven't really known you. 1t isn't fair
to dump case of this importance into your
lap but, as you know, Judge Melrose and the
others are already loaded with cases now be-
ing heard" He mopped his brow again.
Briefly, Garfield vs. Ballard is an action
for performance of contract Garfield, now
your client, owns a rare piece of Chinese art
"a painting by Ii Fong. Twelfth Century
artist. Ballard, a collector, agreed to pay
seventy-fve thousand dollars for it,
"And had change of hearth"
Eyes, because his authorities on ancient
art have declared that it isn't genuine Fong.
1t appeared that an artist or two of the period
painted things and forged Fong's name to
them. So authorities argue over half of the
Fongs in existence. You can appreciate your
clients position, Tess. If his painting isn't
the real thing. Garfeld's stuck. The facts will
become general knowledge and the painting
lose ali value. Garfield must prove that it's
genuine. To that end, he was importing an
authority from China, Foo somebody, one
from Europe and third from South America.
Billiards. authorities are already in America
They live here"
''WHAr mess" Tessie observed Evenly
divided authorities say it's fraud or is gen.
uine, and a judge who knows nothing of
Chinese art must make decision! =. And
you couldn't turn up shred of Independent
evidence favoring Garfeld?"
Il was prepared to prove Ii Fong was one
of the better known rumpots of his era. often
painted when crooked on rice wine, and that
there could be slight difference between
his sober art and his drunken products
Damned weak premise, I'll admit"

AS she sat down, the file of Garfield VS..

Goodmoning, Fong, darling, "shesnapped.
Then Allison came in. 'You and your

"Ishould've worn gloves, the boy moaned.

craftsmanship Ninety days in Jail will do you

After he had departed, Tessie plunged
again into Garfield vs.. Ballard, but she could
not quite forget the boys forlorn look. Sud-
denly something clicked in her mind.
That's It'll That's the answer!" she said
aloud. But it couldn't be - or could it7
