SYNOPSIS ft wii two week* since Dr Chrit Arden completed hi* Interneship and sterted a practice of hit own Hit firn* mistake wa* to rent an ofAce and room from the shiftless Waltert family but he had felt sorry for mild, inefficient Henry Waltert and hit drab, little** wife. Lily. They obviously needed the money Hi* trmpathy did not latten when he thought of their lary daughter. Katie, and ne'er-do-well eon. Dick. Descending to hi* office. Chn* I* annoyed to find It dutty. He clean* it himself. CHAPTER Hl When he had flmthed hi* dusting, he nut hit handkerchief baek In hi* pocket, lighted th* first cigarette of the day. and sat down to contemplation. Hu thought* were not entirely happy He »<i alone in the world. Re had nr family and, outside the hospital, no friend*. His vacations for year* had been spent with an old uncle, a country doctor halfway acron the state, but he had not teen him for ■ long time. Yet it wa* to old Pare Mortimer that he owed the ; fact that he wa* sitting where he i was that morning, behind him tom* I eleven yanr* of college, medical school, and hospital One day old I Dave, breeder of tall taciturn son*, militant Christian and doctor and father confessor to an entire county, j had reached out and. picking np a j not or err lean hand, had examined it carefully. “Good hands." he »aid. “Maybe | do surgery some day. Why not I study medicine, Chris? None of' mine wants it, but it's a man'* job.” j That had been the start. The big old ligure on the tali horse, alter-1 nately profane and pious, had been I romance to him. Sometime* he came ' in at dawn, gray-faeed from some night of 9 trouble, and everybody kept out of hi* way But if there had been a death, he would *hut him*elf in hi* office for n while, and the boy* said he was praying. Then he would stamp out to hi* breakfast, truculent and vital once more. So far as Chris knew, he had never boiled an instrument, and he had forbidden hi* wife. letitia, even to look into hi* saddlebag*. But Chris had done so one*, and had found in one a chain from a bridle, a case of long-handled knives, a dentist's forceps, a splint or two. and a rusty horseshoe. Chris smiled at the memory. He had had something, the old boy. It wa* some dynamic force, tome flow of vitality which teemed to (pread from him to hi* patient*. It was *aid that he had been known to sit silently for an hour holding an almost pulseless wrist; and that the pulse would grow stronger, minute by minute. It was. they said, a* though he were lighting death by sheer will power. And after th* crisis was passed he could scarcely stand up on hi- feet. Chris wa* still thinking of Dsve Mortimer when there wa* a knock •t the door and Katie Walter* earn* rn. looking sulky and carrying a dustcloth. "Mother said I wa* to do the offices." “Not new. Katie," he said with dignity. “At any moment th* bell may ring, and some wealthy patient may step out of a carriage and enter." Katie, however, was not to be appeased. For on* thing she wa* looking her worst and knew it She wore a blue Mouse, not too elean, and a sagging skirt But he thought, idly watching her flick at the chair* in morose silence, that she wa* probably rather a pretty girl. "Listen," he said, “do you always spend Sunday in hating th* world?" “I only hate smart-aleck young men who spend ail morning in the bathroom." He laughed out loud at that “And'

“It's the Lewi* girt. Doctor! You know, th* big turn* house on the hiU." “Get away from that window." he said sternly. “And for heaven's sake get out of sight Where's your awthex? She may look better than you do. She can’t look worse!" Katie gave him an infuriated look and disappeared, and—the bell ringing again with no »ign of Lily—he opened th* door himself. On the top step was a young woman looking 1 both embarrassed and alarmed, and under her arm the carried a dug. Year* later he had still only to close hi* eyes to see her there, direct-eyed, slim, and lovely, gaging up at him with that absurd dog under her arm; and to struggle with an old hurt, a savage resentment against what life had don* to them both. But at the moment he was merely apologetic. “Sorry," he said. “My household is rather disrupted this morning." "Ar* you the doctor?" "I am Indeed. Do you want a doetor?" he atked. “My dog does. I do hop* you don't mind, but ha ha* a bone in hit throat, and I can't find a veteriI nanan.” He stiffened slightly.
