SYNOPSIS The smug little town of Navestock jolted on. rustily, clumsily, contented to jog along in a rut, I resenting the interference of anyI one who sought to change its mode of living. The people, therefore. I were very antagonistic toward i young Dr. John Wolfe, assistant to the town's blundering old Dr. Threadgold. when he tried to better ; conditions. Wolfe, stnnned at the unsanitary conditions he finds everywhere, prepares a map showing the unhealthy districts. Mrs. Threadgold comes upon the map i and considering Wolfe’s researches “gross disloyalty and underhand spying", suggests that he be warned 1 to discontinue or be discharged. Wolfe's one inducement to keep fighting is the friendship and encouragement of lovely and viva- ; cious Jess Mascali. Wolte shows Dr. i Threadgold the dangerous germs he found in the well-water of a house where there is a case of diphtheria. The narrow - minded Threadgold. afraid to face facts and fearing Wolfe may usurp his position, resents the younger man’s “interference”, Wnlfe warns of a terrible '•alamity should typhoid fever or cholera strike Navestock. Not wishing to appear superior. Wolfe turns over his findings to TKeadgold to do with as he plea«*s. Later, the ‘ old doctor tells his wife a convincing tale of how he pnt Wolfe in his place. She urges him to burn ■ Wolfe’s papers. Discouraged and longing for somicune to talk to, Wolfe visits Jess, who urges him to stay and fight. Then, gazing into each other’s eyes, they are strangeI ly embarrassed. Install Crabbe, the one inhabitant of Navestock who | has the courage to live up to his convictions and is hated for it. ia keenly interested in Wolfe. Following a tirade of abnne from the townspeople, Threadgold decide* to discharge Wolfe. He destroys the young doctor's research report. CHAPTER THIRTY Wolfe had left his horse In the l stable and was pulling off hi* gloves in the half-darkened surgery when he heard footsteps coming along the passage that led to the hall. The door opened, and a white cap ' appeared. “Is that you, Mr. Wolfe?" “Yes, Kate.” Threadgold told me to tell you that he wanted to see you, sir, directly you came in." “Yes. Where is he?" “In the dining-room, sir." "AH right. And, Kate, get me a cup of tea. 1 haven't had anything since dinner." “I will, sir. 11l put It in here for yon." Wolfe made his way towards the dining-room. The lamps had not yet been lit, and the dusk that filled the bouse roused In Wotfe a feeling of vague melancholy. Intuition told him as he put out his hand to open the door that he was near- , Ing the end of his sojourn in Prospect House. The room was full of the twilight, and as Wolfe entered he saw reflected In a large, gilt-edged mirror the dark masses of the mulberry trees and a little streak of yellow sky. Threadgold was standing at one of the open windows. His back was towards Wolfe, and he did not turn at once, but waited till Wolfe had shut the door. f “You sent for me. sir." , “Ah, I* that you, Mr. Wolfel Yes. I left word that I wanted to see you. I havs something serious to discuss." Threadgold spoke these words half out of the open window. He turned slowly, holding himself very erect, his hands behind his back—a little uiau standing apoa dignity “Sit down. Mr. Wolfe." Wolfe sat side wags on one of the

His father, Henry C. Wallace, was Republican secretary of agriculture in the Harding and Coolidge gdminißtrations. Roper, chosen to be secretary of commerce, is a veteran southern

Chippendale chairs, one arm resting upon the back. There was a moment’s silence before Threadgold began. “I am sorry to say, Mr. Wolfe, that 1 must give you your dismissal. You haven’t been a success in Navestock, sir, not a success. I regret it, but that is the truth." Wolfe did not move. “I cannot say that this comes as a surprise to me,” he said. “I don’t think that there is very much to be discussed.” “Mr. Wolfe, I agree with you. But I feel that I am bound to explain my reasons to you. In the first place, sir, you are absolutely lacking in tact—tact, Mr. Wolfe, tact. You have offended old patients of mine. You have caused me infinite annoyance. Enthusiasm untempered by discretion, sir, is a dangerous thing, a very dangerous thing." “No doubt.” Wolfe's eyes were turned towards the window where the little, short, black figure did not come into his line of vision. He was thinking. But to Threadgold —a weak man —a silence was a thing to be feared. “I have already written to an agency in London, Mr. Wolfe, desiring them to send me one of their Died men. I shall expect him within a week. Our obligations to each other cease when I hand you a month’s salary in advance. I shall not quarrel about that No doubt you will like to be looking about for a new berth.” There was the clinking of coins. The little black figure moved from the window, counted out ten sovereigns, and placed them in two piles upon the table. Wolfe did not move. “Thank you.” “Don’t mention it Mr. Wolfe. I felt that it was necessary to be frank with you." “And 1 may take it, sir, that we no longer owe each other anything ? " “That is so." “Then I must ask you to return me that map and those papers that I handed you the other day.” Threadgold stood stock-still a moment Then he went back three steps, thrust his hands into his trouser pockets, inflated his chest, and stared hard at the opposite wall. “Those papers no longer exist, Mr. Wolfe.” “Indeed!" “They dealt with matters that form part of my practice, and you obtained this material while you were in my employment.” “You mean to say. sir, that you have destroyed them?" “1 do. They have been burned.” Wolfe rose up. To Threadgold the tall figure seemed to grow and to elongate Itself in the dusk. Into the silence that filled the room came the fluttering of a breeze in the , mulberry trees across the way. “Dr. Threadgold, you had no manner of right to burn those ; papers." “Indeed, sir. Indeed! And upon what grounds?" “I will tell yon." , Wolfe’s voice was very quiet, but . It was a voice that gave Threadgold ■ the impression that it might break i out at any moment into ringing and r passionate anger. t “Those facts that I laid before : you are things that cannot be dist proved or denied. In burning my s papers you have assumed the attitude of a man wno wishes to suppress the truth.'' i, “Sirl" s "In your own interests and in j the interests——" Th* little black figure jerked its s arms, vehemently and with indignas tion. r “Mr. Wolfe, not another word . 1 " . -Wait."

Very well. That act absolves me from any sentimental consideration that might have weighed with me in this matter. I shall let this be known. I shall take care to let the facts be known." Threadgold bubbled like a round pot on the boil. “Mr. Wolfe, sir, will you kindly leave this house? Take your money, and don’t talk impertinent no n - sense. You have no further business i in this town, and I don’t think any of us will be sorry to see your back.” “I have not yet left Navestock.” “Braggadocio and insolence, Mr. Wolfe!” “There is a possibility that I may remain in Navestock. We need not discuss it. If you will excuse me, 1 will go and put my things together.” Wolfe picked up the money, and turned towards the door. He paused for a moment as though about to say something, but thought better of it, and left Dr. Threadgold alone in the darkening room. In the surgery the girl had lit the lamp, and covered Wolfe’s teacup with a saucer to keep it warm. A plate of bread and butter stood beside the cup. Wolfe made his last meal in Prospect House. • « a The same round moon that looked down on Moor Farm stared, round-faced at Wolfe walking like an athlete in training along the Wannington road. He had had his belongings moved to the “Crooked Billet,” a little old inn at the end of King Street, and had taken ■ bedroom there for a week, it was the one “house" in Navestock that did not belong to Turrell's brewery, and Wolfe knew something of the man who kept it. In fact, th* “Crooked Billet” belonged to Josiah Crabbe, and Ragg, the landlord, had been Crabbe’s coachman years ago. “What, leaving Dr. Threadgold, sir?” “Yes, 1 am." “Sorry to hear it, sir.” “You must be one of the exceptions, Mr. Ragg.” “I don’t know about that, sir, I , don’t know about that.” Mr Ragg had carried Wolfe’s baggage up on his own shoulders. , He was an austere man, and kept an austere house, priding himself “that decent men could step in and : have a decent glass of liquor, with i no foul talk and no foul language I desac-ritating my premises.” Mr. Ragg would deliver little moral lee- ‘ i tures from behind the bar. and drop pithy sayings while be filled'the ■ beer mugs. If such a thing as a > I Puritanical publican can be imag- > ined, Mr. Ragg was one. His house > was as clean and as burnished as • the quarter-deck of a battleship. ■ Wolfe found his bedroom to be a study in white, white walls, white > chintz curtains, white coverlet, and s the very furniture painted white. Wolfe had unpacked his belor.g---i ings by candlelight, and then sat himself down at the dressing-table and made an examination of the t funds in hand. He had received j some £7O in all from Threadgold, k but part of it had gone m new j linen, hoots, a suit of clothes* rid-ing-breeches, a few surgical instrue ments, books, charities, and tobacco. He had about forty pound* y left, no great sum to stock a war- - chest with, and, meditating upon i- the eincerity of these tacts, he had gone down to the long, low room beside the bar to make a supper of n beer, eold meat, and bread and cheese. Mr. Ragg had shown Wolfe s great courtesy in his austere way., i- “Look on this room as your own private apartment, sir. A few very j. quiet and respec’able gentlemen drop In on occasions for a whiff cf tobacco. But they won’t Intrude on it you, sir, they won't intrude.” (To Be Cottiaued) Copyright, H 32. Uy Robert M.
