SYNOPSIS < Dr. John Wolfe, young and ca- ' pable assistant of the inefficient old ! Dr. Montagoe Threadgold, is shocked at the pollution he finds [ eveiywhere in the little town of Navestock. The young doctor’s ' greatest obstacle in trying to better ’ conditions is the bitter resentment 1 of the people themselves. The affable Threadgold appears more interested in humoring his patients and fattening his purse than he is ' in curing their ills. He cautions Wolfe against using necessary "ex- . pensive” medicines when the "ordir.ary" preparations will do. Wolfe woeld be tempted to give np if it * were not for lovely, young Jess Mascall, whose sincerity and courageous outlook on life are an in- , i centive to keep fighting. Filled with curiosity as to how Wolfe spends his time, Mrs. Threadgold searches J. his room and finds a map he had j prepared showing Navestock’s pol- . luted areas. She informs her hus- ! band of what she calls Wolfe's "gross disloyalty and underhand spying” and suggests that her husban<| either make him discontinue his researches or discharge him. * Jasper Turrell, the brewer, whose enmity Wolfe had incurred for t complaining of the condition of the r formers property calls on the Rev. j Robert Flemming. The genial rector is indifferent to Turrell's ranting about Wolfe. The clergyman cares little for Turrell, accepting him as j part of Navestock. Flemming had long ago learned to take evil as a part of life. Later. Flemming wonders what type of man Wolfe is. j Meeting him at the bedside of a j dying woman, the clergyman is strangely moved by the capability e and personality of the younger man. Wolfe gives him food for r thought with the statement that . i places ar* responsible for certain > death*. Jess, day-dreaming of j Wolfe on the moor, is brought back c to reality by the intrusion of snob- t hiah Edith Wilks, Jess resents her catty remarks about Wolfe and re- t j taliatea by criticizing one of Edith’s r | friends. . CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR , Miss Wilks’s nose was elevated t above the level of such humour. « "You are not at all funny, Jess." f "I’m only standing Mr. Chipper, t ton up beside Mr. Wolfe. Now ! « think of it, he does look like a bent nail I like Mr. Wolfe. That’s a fact." She turned over on her aid*, and | <ared at her companion with a I frank challenge in her eyes. "Oh. I •**." i “What do you see 7" i “Nothing; nothing worth mentioning." i Jess laughed. “Don’t look like a hen on an egg. I Edith.” "Oh. Indeed!" “1 must say, 'Ssh—ssh,' and see i you eluck, and fluff up yuur feathers. I'd just love to roll you in the heather. I'd just lov* IL" She sat up with threatening restlessnesa. Miss Wilks stiffened, and seemed to grow narrower, and a little nervous. "Don’t be foolish. I think I ought to be going Mother asked me to be back in good time.’ "You’ll stay and have tea." "I'm sorry, but 1 can't. You will come on Thursday?” "Yea. I will com*.* And Miss Wilk* rose to go Jess did not attempt to hinder her She walked back with 'Edith Wilk* to Moor Farm, but left her to cross the paddock alone. Jess stood at the corner of the holly hedge, and though her eye* glimmered, they were not empty of I anger. Finally sb* went In to tea.

smell of summer. Mary Mascall had had the gate-leg table set by the open window. She sat there, placidly busy, a handsome presence that radiated cheerfulness and energy. Mary Mascall made her farming pay. The men worked for her as they would have worked for few masters. “Where's Edith, dear?” j Jess had a serious face. "She wouldn’t stay. And Billy did not want her.’ “Billy?" “You see, her legs annoyed him. Billy’s a dear." Mother and daughter smiled at each other. But Jess was still serious. Her eyes fixed the sugar bowl, and studied it with dark gravity. “What kind of a man is Mr. Wilks. Mother?" “Zachary Wilks, my dear? A mean little man. so 1 have always heard. Most of the Navestock folks have their faults that way. They ar* bad farmers down yonder, so far as property Is concerned." “How?” “If you don’t put good food into your beasts, rich stuff Into your ground, your farming’s mere foolery. All the world knows that. And yet her* are these Navestock gentry dragging all they can out in rent, and putting nothing back to long as they can help it House property's like any other kind of property. It isn’t al) take and no give. But it's been like that in Navestock fur these fifty years." “But it’s * shame, isn’t it?” “Landlords are queer folk, my dear. There are not many like Lord Blackwater, and it’s a pity the Brandons and the Turrell* and the Wilkses don’t learn of him. Why, even old Josh Crabbe, the atheist, knows better than to let his places rot, just for the sake of a few years’ greed. 1 wouldn’t be under a Navestock landlord, not L Lord Blackwater’s a man and a gentleman. He does not want his people to live like pigs.” Jess stirred her tea. and watched the bubbles that went round and round. She understood suddenly that a man of John Wolfe's build might make himself hated in such a town as Navestock. Jess had all the woman's quickness in leaping at conclusions. It was the opening for her of that most fascinating of books, the book of “Things as they are." • • • Wolf* walked into Dr. Threadgold’s study, and stood with one hand gripping the edge of the door. “I wish you would come and look lit this preparation under the microscope, sir." A figure that was lolling In an arm-chair, uncrossed its legs, and sal *>p with a great rustling of paper Threadgold had been dozing with the daily paper over his head. “What. Mr. Wolfe, what?" “1 have something under the microscop* that I should like you to see " They went into the surgery where Wolfe had the microscope arranged on a deal table by the window. Threadgold cocked up his coat-tail* and sat down, curling his legs round the stool. He took off his spectacles, put bis left eye to the eyepiece closing his right eye with something of the look of a raw recruit squinting for a sight along the barrel of his rifle There was silence for a while. Wolf* watching the littl* man at th* table, and noticing the lines of fat above his collar snd the way his thin hair was raked carefully across the erown. He felt a kind of pity for Threadgold. and it was this same pity that was prompting him to open the man's eyes, and to ’insist upon his realising wbat might happen in Naveatnck “A great dsal of movement down itwr*. Mr Wolfe." i “Yes. plenty of lif*,"

trying times. They are therefore more and more turning their attention to the study of cooperative marketing. it is announced that r.-yxt Tuesday evening, following the marketling class at Monroe, a group from I Jay county will present a play entitled “Pay Day". This should prove pu attraction after the marketing [classes have had their hour of : study.'

“Pond-water?” “No, well-water.” “Dear me, indeed!" ) “From Paradise Place." "Ahl" “That was a case of diphtheria that I was called in to see this morning." Threadgold straightened himself on the stool, pulled out a silk handkerchief, and began to polish hi* spectacles. Both men were conscious of a feeling of tension, but Wolf* was th* first to speak. “I am glad of this opportunity to mention a matter that has long been on my mind. 1 have not spoken of it before, because 1 wanted to make sure of my facts." Threadgold still had his back to Wolfe. He was putting on his spectacles, and Wolfe saw his ears redden very perceptibly. “Well. Mr. Wolfe, what is it?" “With regard to the sanitary condition of th* town. 1 happened to be interested in this class of work before 1 came here. Navestock is rotten." Threadgold left the stool, hut stood staring out of the window. Wolfe closed the line of retreat towards the door. Moreover, some overmastering moral force held th* elder man like a child tn a corner. His first impulse had been to blus ter himself free of the interview, and refuse to have the incubus of this terrible young man's thoroughness thrust upon his shoulders. “Indeed, sirl That is rather • bold statement.” “It is a serious one." “Do you realise that you have not been very long in the town?” “Six 1 should like to show you the result of my researches." Threadgold fidgeted with Ms hands in his trouser pockets An acute self-consciousness held him by the throat. He could not bring himself to turn and meet Wolfe's eyes. “You need not be in such a hurry, sir. I do not know that 1 asked yo* to include sanitary inspection among your duties." “I am sorry, but it became the logical consequence." “You mean ?” “One was driven to look for causes when one had seen the es- j fecta." “1 do not see how you could be driven. Mr. Wolfe. An assistant never bears the full responsibility." “I feel that 1 am responsible—even in your interests." Threadgold tossed his coat-tails with absurd yet pathetic petulance. He looked like an agitated bird. “Very well. Mr. Wolfe, very well 1 will look over all this material of yours. But I may as well tell yo« that young men fresh from academic work do not understand the realities of general practice. W« ‘ have a different stock here, and dis- i ferent condition* an<j these cnn4itions have prevailed fo> centurie*. i Theorist* are very dangerous pco- ! pie. They are apt to think that th* game of life can be played lik* a game of chess.” Wolfe smoothed his chin, and stared hard at the back of Thread- . gold's head. i “1 wonder what the rate of mor- . tality has been here during the last i hundred years." “J cannot ceil you We have no j figures." “Hav* you ever had cholera in Navestocl-. sir?” t “No. we have not." f “Or typhoid fever?" r “Well. God grant that neither of f them should ever come.” s A wasp might hav* stung the ( elder man upon one of the pink o creases at the back of his neck. H* t turned sharply, breathing hard, hi* fists doubled up in hi* pockets. o <T» 8Copyright. 14. U m Rrleri K Mcßride ft Co. Dietribuud toy Liog Feature* Sfudtcau. lac.

THE LAST TIME For the lust time in American history, the inauguration of a new President will occur on March 4. The adoption of the ' I-ame Duck ' Amendment will cause inauguration day hereafter to fall on Feb. 20. Inauguration ceremonies have always been picturesque events, on a tew- occasions they have been near-tragic events. Did you know that there is no provision in the Constitution or in law tor an inauguration? Did you know there is no provision tor notifying a Presideut that he has beer, elected? Did you know that there is no provision for a Chief Justice swearing in a President? Do you know haw many Presidents have taken the oath before others than a Chief Justice? Do you know how many Presidents took the oath somewl»pre other than Washington? Do you know that one President was sworn in March 3? Do you know that riflemen on the housetops guarded the line of escort at another President's inauguration?
