“The DOCTOR” by Mary Roberts Rienhart

SYNOPSIS It wa* two week* since Dr. Chrie Arden completed hie interneship and alerted a practice of hie own Hie first mistsk* woe to rent an office and Toom from the shifttei* Walter* family but he had felt sorry tor mild, inefficient Henry Walt, er* and hi* drab, little** wife, Lily. They obviously needed th* money Hi* sympathy did not lessen when he thought of their laty daughter. Katie, and ne'er-do-well eon. Dick. It i* Bunday momma, and Chri* descend* the atair* to hi* office with a jaunty nep Chri* ha* -me patient that morning Beverly Lewi*, from th* mention on the Uli. bring* her teener and apologetically asks him to remove a bon* from th* dog"* throat. Beverly leave* in a huh when Chri* refute* to accept a fee Chri* visit* th* hoapital where he had trained It'* main support it Beverly** father. Staunton Lewi*, local magnate and political power Nettie Simpoon. the old nurse in charge of the training school. love* Chri* like a son and give* him a royal welcome. She make* him promise to come to her ahould he need financial aid. Neat. Chri* v»eit* young Dr. Scott in the X-ray laboratory The latter show* him an X-ray burn on hi* finger. Chri* wonder* if it i* fair to Scott'* family to have him jeopardise hi* health for science. CHAPTER VI He was in rather a somber mood when he reached the house, and th* knowledge that hi* key in the door had caused aw rapid. surreptitious motion in th* hall inaide. followed by the discovery that hi* waiting room waa filled with smoke, I made him scowl But he went white- j lipped with anger when he found an envelope on hit desk. enclosing a tea-dollar bill and the single word. "Thank* • He got an envelope of hi* own, placed the bill in it, and sealed it. Then, ttiil stiff with resentment, he addreaaed and stamped it, and carried it out to the mailbox. It wa* a on the way back that he audy laughed. He waa thinking of Beverly Lewi* when ah* received It the next morning. Curioualy enough, that evening narked a red-letter day in Chris's ife, a day which had nothing to do •sth the Walters', or even with a yrrt with a stubborn chin. Between •ight and nine two patients came in. Ja* waa the little seamstress from <wwt door, who had run her machine leedie through a finger. “That's what I get for working on Sunday, Doctor.” "Nom-onae! It's what you get for oe'-g overtired and careless " The other waa a retired clergyman The clergy being exempt, the total receipts for the day were one dollar, forced on him by Miss Sophia Barker, dressmaking and tadonng. However, he went upstair* that tight to hi* sagging bras* bed with -onsiderable cheerfulness. Even th* fact that or. hi* approach Katie dammed her hallroom door with .iolence did not daunt him. He wa* camming a song a* he took off hi* •lothcs and hung them in the shalow closet next to the fireplace. Then, ia pajama* and dressing town, he started, toothbrush in sand, to the bathroom. Early aa it was, the door to Diek's ■oom wa* already locked, and, still tur.iming, but with a gleam in hi* •yes, he simply hauled off and gave it a hard kick. The bolt flew off, and ■he door opened. A* be suspected, hick wa* not inaide. With a grin he picked up the bolt and put ft in hia pocket. Then be completed hi* simple ablution*, went back to bed. and. armed with a book on th* therapeutic* of diarrhea, prepared to read himself to sleep. • e * e That wa* before th* World War. It ia a forgotten period now, as though the world had slept between the turn of the century and that August fourteen year* later; but it wa* in fact a transition era, with iron hitching post* still in the street*, with country road* being paved for the new automobiles which still reared the farm horses, r- th electric coupe*, slow and dignified, warning «ty traffic with their

I hell*, with airplanes still clumsy but , accomplishing flight, and with new J machinery competing with hand labor and •nevitably winning the i battle j it was to thia world that Beverly , Lewie had been formally present rd . the winter before; putting «m her sheer white undergarments and her white taffeta petticoat, and then , stepping into the dress which had been made for her in Parte, long and feminine and youthful, and looking anxiously at her reflection . in th* long mirror. She wa* excited and a little ‘ frightened This wa* the beginning of life, and she knew very little

1 11. r r ? jBBBB 4Sw' “Nobody who look* like that needs to be scared.” said Martha

t about it She had bad four year* of boarding school, could speak indif- ' ferent French, play good tennis and golf, was amiable but had her father'* temper at time*, and wa* all in all rather a lovely thing a* ’ »he surveyed herself in th* cbcval g!a*» that night under the admiring I eye* of Martha, her mother * elderly maid. r “I’m scared. Martha.” “Nobody who look* like that need* . to be scared.” said Martha. t So she had gone down the stairs, I I her white draperies trailing behind , her. The orchestra had come and waa tuning up at Me baek of the t haU. and th* drawing room looked . strange, almost empty of furniture and banked with flowers. For a moment ahe stood there alone, a little j frightened. Thi* wa* the begint ning of life, and life wa* like this, an empty room waiting to be filled. ‘ Her flower* had gone to th* hospital the next morning, and a jaunty ' young interne had pit ched off' a [ rosebud and worn it ail day. “What's happened. Chri*? Celebrating?" ' “I made my debut last night 1 Didn’t you hear about it?” 1 Beverly had a successful season, ‘ a* Staunton Lewis’* daughter was 1 sure to have, and at the end of it ■ wa* heart-whole and extremely 1 weary. Only one man wa* carried 1 over into th* spring, cheerful but 1 insistent. His name was Jarvis ■ Ames, but he wa* called Jerry. ‘ Jerry Arne*. For years to come she 1 had only tn cloee her eyes to see him a* he had been that winter and spring, tall, blond, and debonair, proposing to her with cheerful regui iarity. i “What'a wrong with me anyhow, l Beverly? Moat women rather like t me!” i “Too many women like you," ahe ' i would »ay. “I don’t like compctir tien." • He liked the fact that she wa* . difficult. It gave some excitement to the pursuit, and women had been | • easy for him always, as ahe had I

said Nevertheless she ett reeled him Irresistibly, her soft dark hair, her honest eye*, even that determined small chin of her*. She wa* a good playfellow, too “We're made for each other. Bev. Think of the fun we'd have." “I* that your Idea of marriage. It isn't mine.*' Sometimae be drank, and then he would be difficult to manage One* she *l< ,>ped h m hard, and he sulked for a day or t eo. Then he wa* back, i. vi) may-care a* ever, and asking her to kiss th* spot. "Irok." he »aid “Right there Mamma kiss. eh?” “Oh. don't be such an idiot,* ahe

told him. “I loathe men who drink.” Vpon which he had solemnly taken out of hi* pocket a small white ribbon and pinned it to hi* lapel, and she had had to laugh. He waa irresistible ia some ways, thi* Jerry Ames, handsome, rich with inherited money, humorous after hi* own fashion, and not too scrupulous about a number of things. But it wa* a bewildered Jerry who confronted her that Sun day night after she had met Chri* Arden. “I don’t understand you. Bev. What's all this talk about work? I work, don’t 1?” “If that's what you call it. You play at work, and you work at play" “Where did you hear that?” he asked suspiciously. “And anyhow, what has that to do with you and me? I can work if I have to. I will if you say th* word. But if you care for me—" “I'm not sure that I do. Not in that way. Fve tried to. Jerry." “Tried! Good God, if you have to toy—" He had gone then, with a sort of angry finality, getting into hia ear and driving furiously down the hill and past a lighted window where, inside, Chris Arden was bending over Sophia Barker’s injured finger and the small sterilizer hissed and steamed beside the stationary washstand “Feel better now?" “So much better. I've given you a lot of trouble. Doctor. And—how much do I owe you?" "Nothing, of course. Aren't we neighbors?” “But 1 must pay you. Doctor. I must indeed." In the end reluctantly he took a dollar from her. which made twe in his poeket and gave forth a pleasant Jingling sound which had been absent for some time.
