THE MAN INSIDE
Continued from page fourteen

sunlight from a shuttered window
struck the high, white forehead,
lighting up the serene face on
which the skin was drawn so
tightly across the delicate bones
that the head seemed to have been
hewn from marble. The handsome
mouth, thin and ascetic but
touched with the fullness of
warmth, was parted in small,
gentle, inquiring smile. Pritchard
hesitated.
He found himself calling on all
his flashy skill as a trial lawyer to
help him out of a predicament in
which it had never occurred to
him he would find himself, but
that shrewd knowledge of char
acter, that hack for reading the
minds of his fellow men that had
been responsible for his success,
and had never before failed him,
failed him now.
Pritchard knew that he was in
the presence of a man who, be-
cause there was not even the hint
of guile in him, was far shrewder
than Pritchard. He knew that
this was a man from whom he
could conceal nothing because
nothing to this man was a mystery,
and all at once he recognized the
new emotion inside himself for
what it was: for the first time in
his life, Pritchard felt a little
ashamed of himself. I'm afraid
sir" Pritchard said in a low voice,
I've come here under false pre-
tenses."
HE old mans thick white eye
brows went up a trifle. The faint
smile around his lips changed just
little. Il beg your pardon?"
Il don't mean that I misrep-
resented or concealed anything in
the series of letters in which l
managed finally to persuade you
to allow me to come out here to
visit you," Pritchard said. There
is an important point involving a
new Interpretation of the doctrine
of res ibsa bquitu1 that I've been
working with in a recent case, a
point that l know you'll be in
terested in, and that only you can
clear up, because it deals with a
rule laid down in two of your most
famous decisions, a point that l
still feel could not be covered
adequately in correspondence.

That's not what l mean, sir, by
coming here under false pretenses.
What l mean is -"
Pritchard paused again. 1t was
hard to explain something he had
not clearly understood until this
moment, when he had found him.
self in the actual presence of this
great interpreter of the human
side of the law.
It would have been difficult for
any man, and it was especially
difficult for man like Pritchard, to
explain that it was not his passion
for adding a new Interpretation
to the doctrine of res ibsa loquitur
that had brought him here, but
rather the desire to show to advan-
tage among his colleagues as the
one man who had been allowed to
pierce the walls of Judge Cowper's
retirement. Just the same. it was
an explanation that had to be
made.
liz COULD see, in those deep,
understanding eyes. in the beauti-
fully shaped head, in the mouth at
once relentlessly just and gently
sympathetic, the lifetime devoted
selflessly to work in dusty libraries
for the purpose of extracting, from
dead words impaled on paper, the
warmth of living, the depths of
meaning for all his fellows. This
was a man who had made of his
life yardstick for other men.
Pritchard felt the oompulsion to
try, however inadequately, to
measure up.
What ! mean, sir, is that owe
you an apology" Pritchard said.
1t was true that he had come to
sit humbly at the feet of a great
man, but, in the actual presence
of greatness, he knew now that his
humility had been dictated by
selfish motives. He had to make
that clear. II want you to under
stand, sir, that l -"
Out in the hall, the doorbell rang.
IF you will excuse me-" the old
man said. II think the Judge will
understand more clearly than l
do"
The Judge?" Pritchard said.
"WHY, yes," the old man said.

door now. sir. He's been out TAX

les, SIT, tne QIlVer SdlQ.
This is it,"
He stopped the taxi. Pritchard
took his bag, climbed out, and
paid the driver. He paused for
moment to look up at the lovely
white house with the tall columns.
1t was such a perfect reproduc-
ton of what he had pictured in his
mind as the place in which a man
like Judge Cowper. whom he had
never seen, would choose to spend
his last years, that Pritchard
found himself torn between a faint
feeling of awe and a somewhat
more pronounced feeling of self
congratulation on his perspicacity.
With sense of mounting ex-
citement, he climbed the steps and
rang the bell. The door opened. A
tall, spare, white-haired man
waited for him to speak.
'Mr. Pritchard?"
"Yes," Pritchard said. q"
Come in, sir. Come in. Here,
let me take that
''No, PLEASE" Pritchard said,
swinging the bag out of his reach.
The man fitted so much more per-
fectly than the house into the pic
ture in Pritchard's mind that, for
a moment and for the first time in
his life, he felt both shy and awk-
ward.
Greatness was a word used so
often and so carelessly, even by
people like Pritchard who prided
themselves on their precision in
these matters, that to be faced with
it was an unsettling experience.
I'm just leave it here" Pritchard
said. That is, if may?"
'Of course. Won't you come in
to the library? l think you'll find
it a bit cooler"
The voice was low and vibrant
and, for a man of eighty-seven, it
hummed with remarkable vitality.
Pritchard, who had been a young
ster in law school when Judge
Cowper was nearing the end of his
long career, could almost hear that
extraordinary voice debating those
precise, measured, and yet deeply
moving decisions that had added
new dimension to the humanities
of the law.
FOLLOWING that tall, lean, gentle
and yet soldierly figure out of the
hall and into the high, book-ined
library, Pritchard's sense of tri-
umph in his accomplishment, his
success in gaining access to this
clustered sanctum from which all
the rest of the world had been ex-
cluded for almost decade and
half, gave way before a puzzling
emotion that was entirely new to
him.
"Now, if you will allow me to
get you something to drink? You
must be feeling a bit dusty after

WILLIAMS
GETS HOME
RUN RANGE
BY JACK HAND

American League pitchers, be-
ware! Ted Williams has found the
home run range.
While rockies Johnny Groth and
Jack Graham and teammate Vern
Stephens battered the fences, Teddy
had to be content with singles and
doubles. Now he's back in the
groove
Williams had big day yesterday
with his first homer, a single and
three walks for a perfect day
against Philadelphia. He drove in
five runs during the afternoons
activities at friendly Fenway Park.
Led by Williams, the Sox
thumped the AS, 1875, for a clean
sweep of the two-game set. Now
they move on to New York for an
important series with the Yankees.
1t was the fourth straight loss for
the AS.
The Yanks warmed up for the
Boston series by downing Washing
ten, 6-2, behind Ed Lopat. The
chunky lefthander. supposedly a
slow starter in the spring and a
great hot weather pitcher. now has
won three straight. 1t was the
Yanks' eighth win in 10 starts.
Groth and Graham each hit their
fourth home runs as the st. Louis
Browns whipped Detroit, 90. Groth
got his with the bases loaded, his
second grand slam. Graham
smashed his homer with nobody on
in the second.

RAINIERS in
ANOTHER WIN
OVER 5oL0NS
BY JIM BACON

Hollywood is on top of the Pa
cific Coast league and Portland Is
at the bottom, but the two are
only five games apart. That's close,
brother.
The Stars got back on top OF
the pack Thursday night when they
counted six runs on two homers to
heat Oakland to 4. At the same
time, the Portland Beavers made
it two straight over San Diego
winning 3 to 2. The loss dropped
tie Padres a half-game behind
Hollywood.
Elsewhere around the loop, Guy
Fletcher held the Sacramento
So,ons to five hits in pitching
Seattle to an 9-3 win. Both clubs
arc only enc game off the pace.
San Francisco rallied around the
tight pitching of Jack Brewer to
Eeat Los Angeles 6-2, making it
three straight for the Seals over
the Angels.
Jim Baxes, Hollywood's 20-year-
old third baseman, about settled
the ball game when he hit one
over the left field wall with the
Eases loaded in the first.
Fletcher only gave up one hit to
the Sclons until the eighth inning
Then Sacramento parlayed two
singles and a double into two runs
but it was futile. The Rainiers had
all of their eight runs by that time.
The last two came in the seventh
when AL Lyons homered with one
aboard.
Dino Restelli paced the San Fran
cisco assault. 1t was his double in
the seventh, scoring Ed Murphy
and Jackie Tobin, which proved
tc be the winning clout.
