fFIH CHALLEN<™ OF LOVE// \ b 9 WARWICK DEEPING

. oIS Dr. John Wolfe, young and capable assistant of the inefficient old Dr Moi tague Threadgold. is shocked at the pollution he finds everywhere in the Little town of Navestock. The young doctors greatest obstacle in trying to belter conditions is the bitter resentment of the people themselves. The affable Threadgold appears more interested .n humoring his patients and fattening his purse than he is in curing their ills. He cautions Wolfe against using necessary "expensive” medicines when the “ordinary" preparations will do. Wolfe would be tempted to give up if it were not for lovely, young Jess Mascall. whose sincerity and couageous outlook are an incentive to keep fighting. Filled with curiosity as to how Wolfe spends his tipe. Mrs. Threadgold searches his room and finds a map he has prepared showing Navestock's polluted areas. She informs her husband of what she calls Wolfe’s “gross disloyalty and underhand spying" and suggests that nei husband either make him discontinue his researches or discharge him. Jasper Turrell, the brewer, whose enmity Wolfe had incurred for complaining of the condition of the former’s property calls on the Rev. Robert Flemming. The genial rector is indifferent to Turrell’s ranting about Wolfe The clergyman cares little for Turrell, accepting him as part of Navestock. Flemming had long ago learned to take evil as a part of 4ife. Flemming wonders what type of man Wolfe is. He has the opportunity to meet him at the bedside of a dying woman. CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO Robert Flemming had a glimpse j of the young doctor's face, and a | queer shock of awe went through I him. He remained on his knees, silent, motionless, his hands resting on the edge of the bed. He saw Wolfe go to an old sofa at one end of the room and sit down there with the boy in his arms. “There, there, sonny.” The child broke into wild wailing, •ueb an outcry as can never be forgotten by one who has once heard it. Wolfe rocked him to and fro, his long arms holding the boy close to his own body. The man's attitude was almost as pathetic as the agony of the child. Robert Flemming’s head bowed itself. He was unable to pray, but listened to Wolfe talking like a woman to the boy in his arms. “There, there, old chap, mother’s gone to sleep. She was tired, sonny, so tired. She’d got pain, bad pain, but the bad pain’s gone now That’s right; cry it out. Hold on to mohold on tight." A woman’s head appeared in the doorway Robert Flemming rose clumsily, and stood staring at Wolfe and the boy. He brushed a | hand over his eyes, and then glanced at the figure on the bed. The neighbor came in, a big, square, frowsy woman with a red face. She was crying. And she looked at Wolfe and the child. “Can you take him, Mrs. Budge?" His voice was soft, and solemnly tender. "Dear Lord, sir! Poor things! Come, lovie dear, you come along with me." She held out her fat; red forearms. “Now, sonny.” The boy clung to him a little, but the woman took the child, and smothered him against her bosom, one great hand spread out and pati ting the boy'« hack “I'U take iro uaxi door, sir.” "Yes, it's better." And all the while Robert Flemming stood in the dark little room like a stranger who had no share , in the things chat were passing

Wolte and the rector left Bung Row together They were going in the same direction, and for some reasons Robert Flemming wished that they were non He walked with his head slightly bowed and his eyes fixed on an imaginary spot on the pavement about five yards in front of him. The man's usual attitude was one of serene and erect solidity He marched through Navestock. looking people in the face with genial confidence, without selfconsciousness, fresh-coloured, smiling, and courtly. But those few minutes in Bung Row had brought him into a state of vague embarrassment. He had been overshadowed there, in no uncertain way, by the more powerful personality of this younger man. His own uselessness had troubled him. Moreover, some voice within him had echoed the wild cry of the motherless child. “A sad case.” He raised his head, and his eyes came round half-timidly to scan the face of the man at his side. Wolfe seemed to be thinking His profile was grave, and a littAs grim. “Very.” “One of the inevitable, 1 suppose ? " “Inevitable?” Wolfe’s eyes caught Flemming’s as one foil presses upon and feels another. “Yes. perhaps here.” “You mein?” “Such things are inevitable in certain places." Robert Flemming’s eyes fell. He ' was a bigger man than Wolfe, both in actual bulk and in reputation, but he felt smaller and slighter than the man at his side. He hesitated, and then forced himself to follow the subject fur- ! ther. i “You mean to say that local coni ditions may be held accountable?” . “I do." "How —in Navestock? I have 1 lived in the town for twenty years.” I “I know. That complicates one’s i view of things.” “Oh!” Flemming felt a slight flushing , of his face. Turrell’s words recurred to him. but somehow things I fell away from the figure of the > man who bad held that wailing i child in his arms. i “That’s fairly frank of you ” “1 meant to imply that all of us are apt to take familiar things for granted.” “Like the stains on our old , clothes. Quite true. But do you mean to say that you believe ” “I believe what 1 have been , taught to be the truth. These things have been proved. The best of our i younger men—well, every generation has its ideas.” Flemming aas silent a moment. Then he said. i “We need young blood. 1 know . it." i They had come to a point where their paths diverged. This parting of the ways may have had some , syrftbolism for both of them. Robert I Flemming held out a hand. ! “I'm sorry that we haven't met before. I hope we shall remedy ’ that.” r Wolfe’s hand went out frankly. “I hope so.” I And they parted with a keen - meeting of the eyes Robert Flemming walked on . slowly his hands behind his back Now and again he glanced up to acknowledge the salutations of t those who passed him Yet his mood I was one of detachment. He was , lifted up out of Navestock, and out . of his own familiar, easy-going self. • • • A girl lying under the shade of a furze bush with a romance undei her chin may be a more interesting study than a pruleseoi urone at the

edge of a pond, groping for slime among chickweed and rushes. Jess Mascall had a retreat of her own on Tarling Moor, where she would hide herself like a wild moormaiden. with brown legs and eyes as black as sloes. It was a little hollow where stone and grave) had once been quarried, changed now into a green and flowery pit, and hidden away amid masses of billowing furze. The white clouds and the wind slid over it, and the sky gave it a blue lid. There were sunny banks where one could bask in the sun. or lie in the shade of a furze bush and read. In spring, summer, and autumn this diminutive dell looked as though some rich piece of tapestry had tumbled into it out of heaven. Anemones, primroses, violets, blue-bells, pink centaury, foxgloves, stitchwort, ragged robin, golden rod. mauve scabious — all these flourished in their turn. Jeks had brought Lent lilies from the orchard and planted them in the banks. In the centre was a black circle and the ashes of a fire, for Jess had her gipsy moods and would brew her tea in a pot slung upon a tripod of sticks. Jess lay in a patch of shade with masses of yellow flowers spread like golden rays about her Ivanhoe had just overthrown Bois Guilbert and rescued Rebecca from death by fire. Jess put the book aside—she had read it twice in the last two months —and lay on her back with a feeling of delightful languor Romance was so splendidly satisfying on a summer day when the white clouds went drifting, and the furze pods cracked in the sun. Moreover. Miss Jess had her head and body packed with romance. She was at the age when heroism is a necessity, and adventure part of the sap of life. Her own vitality was romance itself. She dreamed through al) these strenuous happenings, and commented on them with naive sincerity. "I think Rowena was rather a fool. I’m not sure I don’t like Rebecca better. But then, you see ” Her thoughts fled off on a side issue, and she lay and stared at the fern fronds that fringed the edge of the bank. “I wonder if there are any men now like Ivanhoe? I am sure there must be. Only he was fair, and I don’t think I like fair men. I like them tall and dark and sinewy, though I suppose I oughtn’t to. because I'm dark myself. Fair men often look such sops. There’s young Turrell, too, only he's sandy; I should like to see somqpne give him a thrashing; 1 should like to have seen Ivanhoe smash him into the dust. John Wolfe would look fine in armour. He's so strong, and he'd never be afraid. I believe he would do al) sorts of wonderful things. But then Navestock’s a dull place. Fancy a man finding a dragon to fight down there! Old Plimley might do But I have beaten her myself." She drifted away into more picturesque and ingenuous dreams, thoughts that were too quaintly sacred to be thought out loud. They were iridescent cobwebs spun by fairies before the eyes of a young girl. Jess lay and traced in imagination their glistening and trernu--1 lous patterns She forgot that she existed, tn the glamour of her 1 dreams. “Jess. Jess!" ! Someone war calling her. She sat up. shaking her black hair with the 1 slightest flash of irritation. 1 “less, are you there?” The voice was a thin and useful ' voice, suggesting aomethii g with an edge to it Jess knew the sound.
