"We'll allow you that much," said Allen graciously. "Why, yes, there is a law like that pending, Betty, and I imagine there will be quite a few happy homes broken up." "Did you hear about Herb Wilson?" asked Roy suddenly. Herbert Wilson was another of the Deepdale boys. "No," was the answer. "What's he been doing now?"
