“ It was probably a m ild attack of amnesia, he said. As a rule, the
victim s are folks who. consciously or unconsciously, want to escape from
their routine chores, and every now and then their minds blank out as a
protest against doing the same old things the same old way.

JERRY—and I'm sure you know
the Jerry I mean—used to be one
of Broadway's leading juveniles
and stay-up lates. Five years ago,
as you know, he put away his hair-
oil and got a job producing radio
shows. And not long after he m ar
ried the daughter of a network
executive, bought a home in Scars
dale and decided to settle down.
"Irie/Z, as often happens when
a g irl has too much dowry bis
wife did most of the settling for
him. She made him exchange hit
friends for hers, his fun for hers
and his life for hers. And within
a year, the man who used to be
a gay dog became all dog— a
Westchester version of Caspar
Milquetoast.
"A fte r two years of being yam
mered at by his missus, Jerry
came in to see me one day and
said that he was having trouble
w ith his memory—that it was
blacking out on him now and then.
I asked him some questions about
his home life, and when he told
me what it was like I advised him
to stand up to his wife, and if neces
sary, slap her down occasionally.
He told me, quite seriously, she
wouldn't stand for such a thing.
“ One morning several months
later, he came to my office, and
told me quite a tale. It seems that
on his way home the night before
he had had an attack of amnesia,
and when he came to 15 hours later
he was in a New York hotel room,
with no idea of what had happened
in between.
“ I phoned his wife, and from her
story, managed to put the pieces
together. Jerry's
memory had
snapped as he got to the door of
his house in Scarsdale—perhaps in
protest against the stuffy people
his wife had invited to dinner—
and all he knew was that he was
standing on a strange stoop.

Who was he? What sort of man

said. “ And after all, he’ s my
brother Tom’s guest and it’ s up to
me to help entertain him . You
understand, don't you, Marc?
“ Sure,” said Marc, not looking
at her, "sure. I understand. You
go ahead and be nice to him, Con
nie. I understand all rig ht.”
Which was true, b itte rly true.
Marc had begun to understand two
days after Jud

Minute landed at t h e
Norberts' for a
Fiction fortnight’ s visit.
Jud was big and
handsome and had a way with him.
In college he had been quite a
rage. Tom Norbert, his roommate,
had raved about him before he ar
rived, but even Connie hadn’t ex
pected such a splendid specimen
of manhood as Jud proved to be.
A roadster stopped before the
house and Jud came bounding up
the walk. "H i, Connie,” he grinned.
“ A ll set fo r our round of golf?”
Then he saw Marc standing on the
porch beside Connie. “ Hello there,
Marc. How about joining us?”
M arc smiled and shook his head.
•’Thanks,” he said. “ I ’ve got a ten
nis date. See you two tonight.”
J
If, he reflected, he could
only get Jud out of his element
perhaps the college h e r o
wouldn’t show up so well.
Several nights later at the coun
try club dance Marc got Connie
alone and suggested a fishing trip
fo r the next day. "We can take
Jud along,” he explained. “ I t 'll
be something new in his exper
ience and probably he’ll get a bang
put of it."
Connie, who liked fishing herself
thought it was a grand idea,
j And so the three of them drove
up to Beaver Lake the next day
"And, besides, I ’m satisfied
with the man I have—a man
who’s big enough to be kind
to a man like Jud Morrison.”
In the afternoon they put on their
waders and fished.
Connie elected to show Jud how
to rig his line and cast, and watch
ing them Marc knew a feeling of
frustration.
He had planned to
somehow get Jud to follow him Into
th r rapids where the going was
treacherous and where only one
experienced in such things could
navigate without losing his foot-
hold. He had a vague idea of res
cuing Jud from the sw irling tor
rents, thereby establishing Jud's
weakness in Connie’ s m ind and his
own prowess.
O U D D E N LY HE KNEW that he
was helpless. There was noth
ing he could do about the thing
that was happening between Jud
and Connie. The feeling that he
had toward Jud was not one of
condemnation, but envy. I f Jud
were tryin g to steal Connie away,
ne was doing so unw ittingly. Any
one but a fool could tell he wasn’t
aware of any understanding exist
ing between the g irl and Marc.
And so Marc abandoned
scheme for revenge.

They returned home the next day,
and the day after that Marc made
a business trip to Belknap. When
he got back, Judson Morrison was
gone. Marc didn't call Connie. To
morrow or the day after he was
leaving on a month’s journey up
state. He didn’t want to see Connie
before he left. I t would hurt too
much.

But he did see her. Connie
came over that night and found
him sitting alone on the porch.
"H ello,” she said, “ where in the
world have you been?”
“ Away on business. Unexpected .”
“ Well, I should think so.” She
came close to him and sat down.
“ Jud left this morning. He asked
me to say goodbye to you.”
“ Jud’s a good egg,” Marc said.
“ Too good,” said Connie. “ Good
ness, I'd hate to be m arried to a
man like that.”
"You would?” said Marc, aston
ished. “ why?”
“ Why? why, because—I would.
He’s too self-sufficient.”
She
laughed. "And besides. I ’m satis
fied w ith the man I have—a man
who's big enough to be Lind to a
man like Jud M orrison.”
Abruptly he laughed, and when,
puzzled, she asked him what was
funny, he shook his head.
■'There’s nothing really funny,”
he said, " I was just thinking about
a close call I once had—how near
I came to making a fool of myself
—and what a relief it is to know I
