Chapter One The two men faced each other. One was tall and rather plain of feature; the other, his junior by two years, was shorter and handsome. Perhaps the smaller mans eyes were not as steady as those of his companion. But many women prefer dark eyes to blue ones and Ealph Morton had black eyes. His tall, plain cousin, Tom Morton, was less popular with women than was he. Tell me what scrape you are in, Ralph, counseled Tom. It sbetter, you know, to tell me the whole truth if there is any way in which I can be of use to you. It was what he had often said to this carefree cousin when they had been boys at school, and later at college, when he was a junior and Ralph was a happy-go-lucky, heedless freshman. But now they were men and Ealph Morton was again in trouble.
