Again, there were the less temperamental problems of Mr. and Mrs. William C. Freeman. Mr. Freeman's lawyer said that his client, a banker, had been compelled to resign from his vice-presidency in the National Bank of the Republic and the executive vice-presidency of the National Republic Co. due to the publicity attendant upon his wife's divorce suit.

Mr. Roberts and Dr. Rosenbach went faster, like two puppies chasing each other around a tree. "Fifteen thousand,'' said Dr. Rosenbach. "Fifteen thousand, two hundred," said Mr. Roberts.
