Paid attendance at the big league: bail games fell off $1,500,000 last year which mav account for the ■ $25,000 reduction in the contract: tiered Babe Ruth. We hear often that the depression has not effected amusements, prize fights, ball [ games and other pleasure giving business but when you check it up [ you find they have been hurt at about the same ratio as other lines. The Decatur Savings and Loan Association has secured a $25,000 loan from the Federal Homo Loan Bank to be loaned to those who desire to remodel and repair their dwellings. If we get this started it will mean much for many need funds with which to improve their property and al! this means work for various lines of mechanics and a general improved condition. Enthusiastic supporters of Governor Langdon of Kansas tried to pm through legislature an appropriation of fifty dollars to buy a baby-buggy for the gov's six-month old baby, but there were enough sound thinkers in the house to overrule it. A few years ago they would have done it and probably kept amending it until the amount would have been SSOO. The legislature may be wot but they arc likewise just as tirm in the opinion that no beer bill be fiassed that will even tend to the return of the saloon. A big drive

SYNOPSIS Sam Perkins, Dr. Montague Threadgold’s bottle boy. meets his | employer’s latest assistant. Dr. John Wolfe on the latter’s arrival at little Navestock in a wet winter dusk. Sam notes mentally that the new doctor’s luggage is very light as he conducts the stranger to the Threadgold house, where he meets Dr. Threadgold—chubby, sleek, and “the most affable of men." Conducted to his top-story room. Wolfe swiftly recalls his seven years of work and study—how he earned his way by boxing exhibitions as a country fair “bruiser,” as a tavern singer, and as a railroad laborer. And now. after all, Wolfe is almost penniless. At dinner, Wolfe impresses Dr. Threadgold’s wife as a hungry, "raw gawk of a man . . . silent and sulky." She is talking on medical training and mentions Sir Joshua Kermody, senior physician at Guy’s Hospital, as an ideal instructor. The meal is interrupted when Sir George Griggs, profane from pain, arrives with his shoulder hurt after being thrown from his hunter. The blustery baronet is infuriated over Dr. Threadgold’s I dilatory diagnosis. Wolfe shows skill in stripping the coat off the hunt victim who turns to the young doctor and asks Wolfe to attend to him. Dr. Threadgold permits W’olfe to set Sir George’s shoulder which he does quite expertly. Afterwards, Dr. Threadgold tells his wife, “he has some ability, but he is a little forward ... I shall have to modify that.” CHAPTER SIX People with a sense of the picturesque, who drove for the first time over Tarling Moor and saw Navestock—the town of the southern midlands—lying far away in the green valley below them, thought of it as a dream town, hidI den away among innocent, wooded hills. Even in later years, when a more restless generation began to run about the world in a mad hurry to admire anything that was “antique” and “quaint,” Navestock remained the quintessence of “quaintness.” Artists came to paint its old inns, its stretches of red roof, and the mellow gloom of its alleys. It still kept much of its mystery, much of its crowded colour, much of the “quaintness” that earnest and dreamy persons seek so loyally. From the distance Navestock looked like a red heart transfixed by a silver bodkin, red roofs on either side of the River Wraith. It was compact, and crowded, all mellowed to a warm maturity, from the garden houses on Peachy Hill to the hovels by the river alleys. The Builder Beast of the late ’sixties and the 'seventies had not then scented the town and scattered filth in the fields and gardens. Those people who were in search of old-world quaintness found pieces of many centuries jumbled together like the pieces of a puzzle. It >s to be feared that Romance hides a number of dirty garments under her gay-coloured cloak, and that Navestock was a thoroughly dirty and corrupt old town. She may have had pots of musk in her wiudows, but her back yards, her alleys, and her lanes were full of many odours. Behind the gardens belonging to the houses on the north side of Mulberry Green ran Snake Lane, and from Snake Lane a passage branched off between high brick , walls that were topped with broken I glass. A black door, with “Surgery”

painted upon it in white letters, ; opened out of this passage. Daily, : between the hours of nine and ten and six and seven • he sickly lees of the life of this old town oozed into Dr. Threadgold’s surgery. Threadgold had no rival in Navestock. To his assistants —such as they were—had been given the river alleys and their hovels, the sots and incurables, the miserable old men and women, the strumous, rickety children. Dr. Threadgold moved in the upper regions. He did not climb dirty stairs and knock his head against sloped ceilings. That chubby little hand of his went gliding up mahogany banister rails, and felt pulses under skin that was white and clean. “Mr. Wolfe, sir. have you nearly finished with that case?” There was some asperity in the elder man’s voice as his head and one check-patterned leg appeared round the edge of the door that led from the consulting-room into the surgery. Wolfe was seated on a chair by the window with a baby howling on his knees. A thin woman stood beside him, blinking away tears, and the crowded bottles on the shelves seemed to blink in sympathy. “In one minute, sir." “My carriage has been waiting for half an hour.” “I can’t leave the child for the moment, sir.” Nor could he, since he was in the act of snipping an overtight ligament that tied down the baby’s tongue. Wolfe found Dr. Threadgold warming his feet at the fire. He turned briskly, and began to speak with a certain forced rapidity. "Mr. Wolfe, I have drawn you out a list of patients who wil] be under your charge. And since you are new to the place 1 have ordered Samuel, the surgery boy, to go round with you and act as guide. Here are the list and the addresses." Threadgold handed Wolfe a strip of paper, and turned rather hurriedly towards the door. There were some twenty names on the list, and against each name Dr. Threadgold had written a diagnosis —in red ink. “I shall be glad If you will be guided by my experience, Mr. Wolfe. If you have any suggestions to make as to treatment, I shall be pleased to consider them.” He swung the door open, and then turned as though he had suddenly remembered something. “And, by the way, sir, Mrs. Threadgold has asked me to tell you that she cannot allow the smell of tobacco about the house.” Wolfe glanced up from the list that he had been scanning. “Mrs. Threadgold, sir, is exceedingly sensitive to the smell of tobacco. Moreover, this house is a house of very frequent entertainment. In fact ” Wolfe cut him short. “1 quite understand, sir. I’ll smoke in the garden —or in the stable.” Threadgold gave a mild stare. “Anywhere you please. Mr. Wolfe, in private. But of course not in public. 1 could not see a representative of mine walking the streets of Navestock " “No, sir, I quite understand you." 1 Threadgold bounced out like a timid man who Has ueen ordered to , say bio say. leaving Wolfe standing i by the window with a queer and : thoughtful smile upon his face > The people of Navestock stared a ' good deal at John Wolfe as he

spent ms first morning striding about the town with fat Samuel l plodding at his side. Most of the patients on the list that Dr Threa • gold had given him belonged to the | lanes and alleys near the river. The very names of these places were suggestive—Bung Row, Dirty | Dick’s, Paradise Place. The lanes ¥ were mere erevasses into which ! very little sunlight fell, and in •. winter, when the Wraith was in | flood, half the low-lying ground [ [ would be under water. The whole : neighbourhood was like a rabbitwarren. full of winding ways, black , holes, and dark entries, and to : judge by the condition of the yards , and gutters—the art of scavenging was unknown. Wolfe had to visit three cottages , in Bung Row, and he felt himself [ ■ back in the familiar Loniton slums [ In the first cottage, he found a [ frowsy woman sitting before a bit of fire, holding a baby to her breast, and trying to smother a cough Wolfe sat down on a chair that had lost its back and talked to her j with the ease of a man who is too | interested and too much in earnest . to be self-conscious. The woman j was pitiably servile, and seemed surprised that this new doctor was not in a curt and casual hurry. “It’s me soide, sir. I’ve got such | a pain in me soide." She reiterated the cry, screwing I her mouth into a queer triangular I slit, so that Wolfe, struck by some ludicrous memory, had to get up and appear interested in her back | “Much coughing?” [ “It's the coughing as pulls me to i bits, sir. I coughs until I retches, and the pain in me soide. sir. is [ fair awful. Sleep? Wish 1 could, [ sir. It’s cough, cough, cough the [ whole blessed night. And my man— [ he’s that disagreeable, talks of [ stuffing a stocking ip me mouth [ And I’m getting that thin.” A lean girl of twelve came and [ took the baby, and Wolfe examined I the woman's chest. Dr. Threadgold [ bad given a diagnosis of bronchial I catarrh. Wolfe very soon satisfied I himself that the woman must have [ been suffering from consumption [ for months. “Ever spat blood?” “Blood, sir? Pints, sir.” “You told Dr. Threadgold?” “He only saw me once, sir, and | he was that hurried. It was after | Mr. Timmins left. He didn’t thump I me and listen, like you do, sir.” “No?” “He said I’d caught a bit of a ; cold.” Wclfe sat In silence a moment, j his greve eyes fixed on the woman’s 1 face. One of those flashes of understanding that strike suddenly I across a man’s mind touched him I as he looked at her. lie realised I what it was to be in the hands of I an indifferent, bungling, careless 1 old man, to have one’s miserable life curtailed amid such miserable | surroundings. It was as though Navestock lay betrayed before him 1 in the body of this woman; oe- I trayed with all its inward sores, its | ugly outward blemishes. Wolfe was a man who was very open to ini I pressions, and almost like an artist I in the way he caught the atmos I phere of his surroundings. “Did Dr. Threadgold give you any medicine?" , “Some pinky stuff, str. Rut it's the pain in me soide!" ‘ Wolfe no longer had any desire , to laugh. He gave the woman what I advice he could, picked up his hat and went out into Bung Row.
