SYNOPSIS Rather than take over his late father's practice and bask in th* latter'* glory, young Dr. Jonathan Kimber wants to make hi* own way in the world.* He visit* Dr. Alan Ballard, hi* father’* friend, in the little town of Riverport, to ascertain if the old physician needs an assistant. As luck would have it, the aged doctor is planning to retire to California and offer* Jonathan his place. Dr. Ballard warns the newcomer not to tread on the toes of Ex-State Senator Sptton who practically runs the town. Jonathan i* to take over in October and will live at the Ballard house, with the stipulation that Evelina, the fussy old housekeeper, must be kept on as the old doctor had promised her a home as long a* she lives. Jonathan ia sure he it going to like Riverport when he meet* Rose Ward, the doctor’* niece. As the young couple stroll through the park, Sally Sutton, ritzy daughter of the Senator, ride* past. Rose is surprised when the girl greet* her, but credit* it to the “new-man-in-town” influence. CHAPTER V They crossed the park and came out on one of the wide tree-bordered streets. A car was parked nearby, a battered, ancient car, and a large blonde young man leaned from it in conversation with a policeman. Rose quickened her steps. “There’s Bill Lynd,” she said, "perhaps he’ll give us a lift. After all, we can't walk all Uncle Alan'a office hours. ..,” Coming up to the car she said, “Hie, Dill, loafing as usual? Want a couple of non-paying fares?” She beamed at the uniformed officer and added, “Hello, Mel, how’a Beth and the baby?” "They’re fine,” replied the short, sandy-haired policeman,“wish you’a run down and see them some day.” “I shall. . . . Mel, this is Doctor Kimber. . . , Mel Hopson . . . and this strange object in the alleged car is Bill Lynd.” Jonathan shook hands with the two men. The policeman moved away and the blonde giant opened the door. He asked, “Where to, Miss?” and indicated the front seat. “You look pretty thin. Doctor," he informed Jonathan, “and although I Rose has put on weight—” “I have not!” contradicted Rose indignantly, and slim as a willow. “Well, get in," said Bill Lynd amiably, “and I’ll take you for a ride. The real estate business can I get along without me for a little while.” He put the car in motion and they shot away from the curb. He asked thoughtfully, across Rose, “Weren't thinking of buying or renting in this neck of the woods, were you, Doctor? If so I have six mansions on my hands, complete with stables ... to say nothing of a couple of inferior hovels . . . attractive, reasonably priced homes, to you.” Rose said before Jonathan could answer. “Doctor Kimber is going to take Uncle Alan’s house in the tall. He’s coming here to practice.” “Good,” said Bill heartily, “wish you luck, Doctor. Well, Rose, where’ll it be?” “Take us down the river road,” suggested Rose, “It’s the prettiest . . . unless Doctor Kimber yearns to see the country club and the estates of the great.” “Listen is obey,” said Bill Lynd gravely. “Hold your hats. Here we go.” A little later Rose remarked suddenly. “Sally Sutton and Phil Dexter were horseback riding through the Riverdale Park—we saw them, they nearly ran over a child. I had half a notion to tell Mel—after all, they can read, I suppose. There are plenty of signs there.”

Didn't f her old man put the park in the . town’s Christmas stocking, a while J back?” . Jonathan laughed. He comi mented, “I haven’t been here twelve hours ’ and yet it seems to me that your . city should be named Suttonport or . something similar." Bill chuckled. He said gravely, i “The Senator would fancy it, at that. It just hasn’t dawned on him. j When you get up here you'll be . living on Senator Street. It’* a , good thing to remember.” Rose said, “When we were in I school together—you and Mel and I. , Bill, remember how belligerent Mel i

' was. .. .? Didn’t he get the class rot* for the most aggressive and the most likely to succeed? But I’ll bet • cookie if I’d told him about : Sally he would have run a mile.” “It’* incredible,” said Jonathan. He stretched his legs and slid an : arm around the back of the seat for comfort. “A one-man town! Never heard of *nch a thing. Why doesn’t somebody do something about it?” “It has occurred to some of us,” said Bill gravelv, “but so fsr we ' haven’t found the formula. Rose. : have you heard that Red Dexter was kicked out of prep school last week?” “No," said Rose, “what for?" “I don’t know. I can guess, however. That kid needs * horse-whip • and a severe lopping of? of the i allowance. I understand Mrs. Dexi ter is taking him abroad. They’re giving out he’s had a nervous breakdown.” Bill laughed shortly and : turned the car into a dirt road running past fields across which Jonathan could see the river and the summer camps at the water’s • edge. “I hear he’ll be back here ' for school next term.” Rose said thoughtfully, “That’s to;» bad, in away. I mean, he’s certain to be something i of a leader. He has a good athletic record, and then he’s been awsy so

Justice Pierce Butler, another 1 member of the so-called conserve--1 tive group in the court, said, when informed of Van DeVanter'e resignation: "I beg to be excused.” o Prominent Indiana Mason Dies Monday Indianapolis, Ind., May 18 —(UP) —Edward J- Scoonover, 64, prominent high Mason and active in bondi Ing and insurance business for 35 [ year*, died at his home here last I night from a heart attack suffered i ten days ago.

long.” She turned to Jonathan apologetically. “I’m so sorry,” she said, “nothing is more irritating than a conversation which leaves one listener in the dark. You remember seeing the man who was riding with Sally Sutton—Phil Dexter , ..? It is rumored that he ia engaged to her. His father and hers were partners. Mr. Dexter still conducts the business and Phil is general manager. Red—whose Christian name is loiwrence—is Phil’s younger brother.” “I hope, for your sake,” said Bill Lynd, “that you don’t draw him as a pupil. But you will, Rose, vou will. You have a talent for not water.” “Speaking of water," asked Rose gaily, “how do you like our river, Doctor Kimber?”

“I like it,” replied Jonathan, “more and more. In fact, I can hardly wait to get back to it—for good." He smiled down at her animated face, “because,” he told her, “I think this town's going to suit me perfectly.” “That’s the spirit,” said Bill Lynd approvingly. Four months later Jonathan was not as certain. At the last moment his plans had been altered. Doctor Ballard's daughter, convinced that her father would change his mind if left to his own devices, came on from California and insisted upon his returning with her some weeks before he had planned to leave Riverport. He wrote Jonathan to this effect and added that he was leaving everything in order for him, the house, the furniture and Evelina. He had spoken about him at the bank and to his colleagues and his patients. And he wished him all the luck in the world. “Keep in touch,” he concluded, “wish I didn’t have to leave before showing you the ropes, but you know how women are. You’ll find a courtesy card waiting you at the hospital, all you have to do is make your applies tion. Rose will look after yea, too.” (To be continued) Copyright by Faith Baldwin Dittrlbulad by airs F»«tur»t Syndicate, Tim.
