SYNOPSIS Young Dr. Jonathan Kimber preferred to succeed on his own merits rather than take over the well established practice of his. late father. So he goes to the little town of Riverport to take the place of I old Dr. Alan Ballard, retired and now living in California. Evelina, his predecessor’s meticulous old housekeeper, has everything ready for Jonathan, and Rose Ward, Dr. Ballard's pretty niece, to whom the young physician was greatly attracted when they met a few month’s previous, invites him to dinner the first night. Bill Lynd, a friend of Rose, drops in. Jonathan wonders if there is an understanding between them and the thought is most distasteful for he had grown exceptionally fond of the young lady hitnself. After Jonathan had been in Riverport a while. Bill suggests it might help his career if he joined the different bridge and yacht clubs and cultivated such people as Sally Sutton, daughter of Senator Sutton who controls the town. But Jonathan says he does not think of his profession in terms of money but service. Bill’s statement that he would seek his fortune elsewhere if it weren't for certain things, sets Jonathan to thinking of Rose. ... Was she the reason Bill wouldn’t leave? And as to his own feelings for the girl. . . . No, it wasn’t possible that he, Jonathan, was in love with her! One night, while motoring with Sally Sutton, Phil Dexter, her fiance, hits a lamp- - post. Jonathan treats Sally for a head cut and takes her home. He is very aloof and Sally senses he does not like her. Nevertheless, she insists that he accompany her Into the house. A servant informs Sally her father is in the library. CHAPTER XI “Come on, then,” she told Jonathan and brushed past the servant. They travelled ft seemed for several miles before the library was reached. Sally walked in without knocking and Jonathan had his first goed look at the Ex-Senator. He had seen him before, certainly, driving through town, but never closely. Sutton, a tall man, heavy, with iron grey hair and a small, suspiciously darker mustache rose from his desk chair. Lights burned, shaded, and east reflections on the hundreds of books which lined the room. The room smelled of Russian leather and cigar smoke. At the Ex-Senator’s elbow a tantalus stood and a half emptied glass. He stared, amazed, at his daughter and the strange young man. “Sally, for Heaven’s sake . . .” Sally cast off her mink coat. She wore an evening frock, ice-blue, gleaming satin . . . and bracelets tinkled on her arms as she moved them and ran her fingers through her hair. She said, “Don’t get excited, Father. Phil drove me home tonight. We got as far as a lamp post on Senator Street. He didn’t miss it. Drunk, as usual. I’m getting a little fed up with his twofisted hoisting. Luckily the accident happened right opposite Doctor Kimber’s door. He patched me up and brought me home.” The older man advanced, beaming, upon Jonathan, and offered his hand. “That was good of you, Doctor,” he boomed. “I’ve heard of you . . . you’ve taken over old Ballard’s practice, haven’t you?” “I’d hardly say that,” murmured Jonathan. “I've rented bis house, that much is true . . . but as to taking over . . “Good man, Ballard,” remarked Sutton brushing him aside much as Sally had brushed aside the butler, “old-fashioned of course, but very able in his way.” His tone was patronizing in the extreme and Jonathan began to grow het under the collar again. Sutton moticned

him to a chair. “Sit down,” he or- . dered, rather than invited. “Have s a drink?” 1 Jonathan shook his head. . “Not, I hope, a teetotaler?” inj quired nis host, in holy horror. [ “Not exactly," Jonathan an- ] swered him ... “but .. .” “Cigar then? This accident? j Sally’s all right, isn’t she? She’s , telling me the truth?” His small, dark, rather bloodshot J eyes moved anxiously toward his . daughter. Jonathan thought, pomp- , ous officious old ass, there’s his i Achilles’ heel. The idea of calling ( Sally Hutton a heel, amused him , somewhat. He smiled and said re- , assuringly, “Os course. It’s a scratch really,

although it bled a bit. Perfectly clean. I suppose she was shaken up— ’’ “Not me,” contradicted Sally, lighting a cigarette, “never felt better in my life—thanks to you . . It would take more than that to shatter her composure, he thought, although when he reached the car it had seemed somewhat nicked. He searched his memory and recalled that Rose had said that Sally Sutton and Dexter were reported engaged. If so, a lovers’ quarrel, he thought, finding the cigar excellent. He had not intended to stay more than five minutes. He stayed an hour. The drowsy butler brought sandwiches and more whiskey and the ex-senator grew expansive. He questioned Jonathan, who answered. Within the hour, it appeared, Sutton had extracted his entire family history from him ... Hopkins, Medical Centre, Vienna, Detroit. When he was leaving, Sutton himself took him to the door and again shook hands with him. He said, “Mrs. Sutton will telephone you and make a dinner engagement. Very interesting background you have, Doctor. Riverport needs new blood. Perhaps I can help you.” “You know darned well you can help him," said Sally calmly, from his elbow. And the ex-senator laughed, shaking with mirth. He_

The schedule went into effect today. o Jefferson Township Man Captures Foxes Brayton Pyle, of Jefferson township, has a prize hunting reward. He and hie faithful dog captured three young red foxes on the Dan Rumple farm In that township, Five of the animals were routed out of a ’ hollow log, but two escaped. The animals were taken to the state i park near Vera Cruz.

said apologetically, “You mustn’t 1 mind Sally, Doctor Kimber, I’m afraid we’ve spoiled her.” Driving home Jonathan thought: “I don’t want Sutton’s help.” He told Rose so on the following evening, narrating the story to her faithfully. She listened, her chin in her hand. In the Ward living room grate the burning coals cast a steady heat and light and the ashes fell with a little slurring sound. She said, “You’ll have it whether you want it or not.” “And should I accept it, therefore?" “Don’t be silly," she advised practically. "Os course you’ll accept it, Jon. You’ll still be on the side of the angels.” She tipped her head

and looked at him, her lashes slanting long and dark on the rounded cheek, “If Sally’s made up her mind to annex you—” “Annex me!” He was annoyed. “That’s absurd. Why, I was patently rude to the girl.” “Yes, that’s just it," Rose told him, “she’ll love it. Remember she was crazy about Bill when he slapped her face, as a kid. She’ll eat it up. Go on, don’t be so scrupulous. After ail, it’s all come about quite naturallv. You didn’t give Phil Dexter the bad gin or put the lamp post where it is. They’ll have you to dinner and you will meet their frienda and after a while they’ll ask you up to look at the cook’s sore throat and perhaps some of your dinner companions will have sore throats too. . . .” “Rose . . ." "That sounded nasty,” she said penitently. “I didn't mean it that way. It’s just—it make me so mad," she burst out, “and I don’t care if I do teach English and if only dogs are mad! But here you are, a good doctor, going to be better and the patients won’t eome. But if Sutton up there on the Hill raises a finger!” She thought furiously, Sally can help him, I can’t.
