By Arthur Train 1919 CONTENTS THE HUMAN ELEMENT MOCK HEN AND MOCK TURTLE SAMUEL AND DELILAH THE DOG ANDREW WILE Versus GUILE HEPPLEWHITE

One of the nicest men in New York was Mr. John De Puyster Hepplewhite.

Mr. Tutt would have gone to the electric chair rather than see the Hepplewhite Tramp, as he was popularly called by the newspapers convicted of a crime, but the very fact that he had become his legal champion interjected a new element into the situation, particularly as O'Brien, Mr. Tutt's arch enemy in the district attorney's office, had been placed in charge of the case.

In fact, it looked as if the case of the Hepplewhite Tramp might become a political issue.

"Edgerton," said Hepplewhite faintly as the lawyer entered his library, "this whole unfortunate affair has almost made me sick.

Mr. Hepplewhite looked inquiringly at Mr. Edgerton and rose feebly.

"It's a suit for false imprisonment for one hundred thousand dollars!" choked Mr. Hepplewhite.

Thus Schmidt could not enter the house of Hepplewhite without making himself amenable to the law.

Cringing, he slunk to the witness chair, and for the first time faced the sardonic eyes of the terrible Tutt, his adversary who looked scornfully from Hepplewhite to the jury and then from the jury back to Hepplewhite as if to say: "Look at him!

"Yesyes," answered Mr. Hepplewhite deprecatingly.

yes," stuttered Mr. Hepplewhite abjectly.

"I always send them something on Christmas," said Mr. Hepplewhite.

"I didn't think anything about it," asserted Hepplewhite

A snicker followed Mr. Hepplewhite as he dragged himself back to his seat among the spectators.

" Now when, as in the case of the Hepplewhite Tramp, the chief witness for the prosecution throws up his hands and offers to repay the defendant for the wrong he has done him, naturally it is all over but the shouting.

" Through a blur of sight and sound Mr. Hepplewhite dimly heard Mr. Tutt addressing the jury and saw them lean forward to catch his every word.

Mr. Hepplewhite watched with palpitating heart while they straggled slowly in.

"Sure," replied the Hepplewhite Tramp carelessly.

"Perhaps under the circumstances you'll tell us what you were doing in Mr. Hepplewhite's bed?" "Oh, I don't mind," returned the defendant with the superior air of one who has put something over.
