> DOCTOR'S

SYNOPSIS It wa* just prior to the World War that young Dr. Chri* Arden ■tarted in privata practice. He found it hard enough to gain patronage; lack of funds also hampered him. Hi* uncl*, Davs Mortimer. an old country doctor who educated Chris, would like him for I an assistant, but the young doctor prefers to make his own way. He rents s room snd office from the shiftless Waiters family. This he soon regretted, but sympathy for inefficient Henry Waiter* and his meek wife, Lily, caused him to stay with him. And as he thought of their laey 17-year-old daughter. Kate, end ne’er-do-well son. Dick, that sympathy increased. Shortly after Chris hangs out his sign. Beverly Lewie, daughter of the richest man in town, brings her dog to him to have a bone removed from its throat. She leaves in anger when he refuses a fee. ... Following her meeting with Chris, Beverly chides her suitor, wealthy Jerry Ames for being a wastrel. He goes oB in a fury when she tells him she does net lovt him.... Chris ha* a hard time making ends meet that spring and summer. Then, one day. hs it summoned to ths Lewis horns to attend a servant. Neat morning, Chris is surprised to receive an invitation to tea from Beverly. Mrs. Lewis likes Chris snd ■ees in him a prospective son-in-law. Ths Lewie family takes a trip abroad. While they are away a typhoid epidemic afflicts their home towti. Most of ths victims are workers at Lewis’ plants, the mill house* of which had neither city watei nor sewage Chris is furious with Lewis for allowing such conditions. Finally, Henry Walters contracts the fever and dies. Chris realises that Lily and Kste are now solely dependent on him. Katie is secretly in love with Chris. Following the death of Dr. Bergman, head surgeon at the hospital, Chri* ia appointed to the surgical etaS. Returning home from a celebration in hie honor, Chris picks up a stray dog which he name* z ‘Ca*»*r.“ Shortly after Beverly’s return from abroad. Chris meets her. but the happiness of the moment is crowded out by thoughts of her father's responsibility for ths epidemic. He expresses hie indignation to Beverly and, when (he leaves, he regrets that, realising that the girl Is not to blame. Beverly quarrels with her father for hi* negligence. Two weeks* later, •he visit* th* mayor on a mysterious mission and emerges with a victorious air. The mayor, following her. says: "I've got a sneaking idea, Beverly, that you're putting something over on the old man.** CHAPTER XII The two week* had changed Chri*. He wa* itill fighting for «heer survival, walking to cave earfare, and collecting far le»* than he needed, although he now had a practice of eerie. He wa* irritable and impatient He would come in banging the front door behind him, and Katie, reading a* usual in the clutI Cored dining room, would cock an tar and liaten. "He’ll break the glass in that doer y*t." He put Beverly out of hi* mind in thote days, or at least thought he did, and began to read surgery with s vengeance. Then one day in the office, examining a heart with hie stethoscope, he heard the telephone and let it ring for some time before he answered iL When he did. an irritable voice at the other end announced that it wa* speaking from the Mayor's office, and that His Honor ths Mayor himself and no les* would like to see Doctor Arden that afternoon at three o'clock. "What about?" said Chri* forthrightly. "He didn’t say,” said tbe rolce with dignity. Chri* went back to hi* heart, pusded but not excited, and at three e’clock he found himself in a crowdid anU’room in the Municipal Building. It wa* almost four o'clock before hi* turn came to enter the august presence. Chris, with some call* still to make, stalked into the inner iffice uncompromisingly and glared down at the man behind the desk, a heavy gentleman with an unctuous smile and a penetrating eye. “My name's Arden.

wanted to mm me " The Mayor nodded. “Sit down, Doctor. Yea, 1 sent for you. The fact is, we need another eity physician, and yuu'v* been suggested for the job." Chris looked herd at him across the desk. His mind, working quickly, wa* analyzing both man and offer. Tbe Mayor, he knew, wa* largely a figurehead. The city wa* run by the local machine, and the head of that machine wa* Staunton Lesvia. “Where does that offer come from?" he inquired. “It’s not an offer yet. Doctor. I sent for you to talk it over.” "Well, the suggestion then. If it's from Staunton Lewis or any of his crowd— '* Tbe Mayor sat forward and lost some of his unction. “Look her*, Doctor." he said. “I don't know anything about you personally, or just why you resent Mr. Lewis. We need another city physician. We pay a hundred dollars a month, and if you don't want to talk about iL there ar* about a thousand other young medical men who will. That's fiat, and that's all." “All 1 am asking,” said Chria still stubbornly, “is bow ths lightning came to strike m*. Mr. Mayor. It’* a good offer, of course." Tbe Mayor was somewhat moUified. His full name was Barney O’Neill, and being what he waa. be rather liked a fighter. “Well, I don't mind tailing you that Wo hear more things her* than maybe you think we do, and one of them was the way you carried on during the typhoid epidemis. If you can work like that for nothing, you ought to work like hell for twelve hundred a year I" Chris relaxed. Ho waa not being subsidized by Lewis and his crowd then, and th* money would be a godi send. He grinned across the desk, i “That's different." ho said. “Am I to take it that it is still a suggestion, or is it an offer?" “It's an offer." i “Then I’ll take it." • * * * i Shortly after Chris left, Beverly i breathlessly entered the Mayor’s ati fice, to find him there alone, still grinning over his He jumped ! to offer her a chair, but she waved i it away. "I'm not staying,” she said. “Did i bo take it?" [ "He did. But I wish I knew what ■ it la all about. Beverly. I can toll ■ you this: Thors'd be the devil to , pay if he knew, lie's a suspicious ■ young pup." ; "I’ve told you why, Barney." He reached over and put a hand [ over here as it lay on the desk. “AU [ I’m saying, Beverly, ia don't get interested in him. He's got a hate on your father for some reason or other, and a man's a fool to do a - thing like that” She colored. "1 like to pay my 1 debts, Barney." • “Well, if that's all it ia, you've ' done it But don’t fell in love with him. A girl's a fool to marry a doct tor any hew; out at all hours, sitting 1 by other women'* bod*, and holding ■ their hand*—" 1 She laughed unexpectedly. “You saw him. Doe* he look like a hand r holder?" “Every man'* a hand holder when 1 he gets a chance," said the Mayor I grimly. > Chris walked home on air that afternoon. He wa* conscious of a • vast relief, and of something more, • of recognition. He went home with I a n*w confidence, only to find Lily > in tears.. He bent over end put a ■ hand on her shoulder. It was ahock- - ingiy thin, and shaking now with > suppressed soba. i "It doesn't do any good, you • know, my dear. Boys are like that I Youll hear something before long." "It’s not Dick,*' she said aetonish- ■ ingiy. “It'a Katie.” She became hysterical after that, > but at last he had the whole story. Katie lately had taken to going out - at night, and the night before she i had gone out to dance and had not ■ come back. “Why didn't you tel] me?" b "I didn't know what you'd think." t “Better give me a Het of the peoi pie she knows, and I'U look them up. r Where was thio dance last night?"

whoa* eho bad gene to th* donee hall, but during the evening the two had become separated, and Katie had disappeared. “Waa the drinking?" ■"She's no dnnker. but she'd bad one or two. Doctor." There was nothing to be lesrned at the hall either. The proprietor shrugged hia shoulders. "We have maybe a hundred girls her* in an evening," he said. “And we run a decent place. You can ash the police." He left the hail, however, with one clew, and ominous enough it sounded. A waiter remembered that a girl answering Katie’s description ! had felt sick and dizxy. and that a middle-aged woman had taken her out to the dressing room. Neither woman nor girl, so far a* be knew, had come back. Chria went out onto the street again and stood there uncertainly. And then ho remembered Beesia Smith. She was no angel of light, was Bessie; but she knew her half world well, and she might be able to help. Nevertheless he feit rather absurd when at last he confronted her. and she eyed him quixaically. "Well, Doctor, are you visiting us - professionally? Or have you brought the cuff links?" "I've brought the links, Bessie." "What's the trouble?" "It'a not mine. Somebody else. A girl." He told her then, end she listened carefully. “I need help. Bessie. And I rather think it'a your sort of help." She looked at him. Her eyes, tali I as ho was, were almost level with hi*. “I might telephone around." she said after a moment’s hesitation , “After all, you made a good job of me when 1 looked like a hamburger steak; and treated me like a human being at that. If you're interested in thia girl—” r "She's my landlady’s daughter, . that's all." I She left him abruptly and wea« | up the stairs, the tread* creaking I under her weight It was a halt hour before *he reappeared, hoi I face aa inscrutable as ever. “Found her,” she said laconically > “But don't get any wrong ideas is | your head. Doctor. She’s ail right > Friend of mine saw »h*'d had to< i much to drink and took her horn* to sleep it off." He got up. He was slightly dm) I with fatigue and hunger, but als< I with relief. “Thanks, Bessie. 11 . go and get her.” i "Youll do nothing of the kind,* > said Bessie brusquely. “You'll gi i home and wait for her. You've got my word of honor that she'll coma f and that's enough." He was both hungry and disgust i ed, as with the stealth of a burglar i he entered the house that night, and . he was shivering with cold in the f dark front office when at last ho j heard hesitating steps on the pavement and a key cautiously inserted i In the front door. He waited until I the door had opened and closed again. Then he spoke very quietly, i "Katie, come In hero, please." r She did not move. She stood where she was, a small dark shadow t with a whitish blotch above It which i waa her face. Then she made a , quick move toward the door again, i and he reached her just in time to f prevent her escape. He caught her i by the arm and jerked her into the . room, closing the door after her and i turning on the light switch. “You silly little fool," he Mid i furiously. Do you know where . you’ve been? And what I got you ' out of?" In hl* raw anger he shook . her. “What business It it of mine to hunt the dives of thia town for , you? I've got something bettor to . do." t "You got me out? Oh, God." t He looked at her. Her face was t swollen with crying, her eyes terrified. almost desperate. He released her arm end took a turn around the • room. “Get thle," ho Mid, “and got it now. I promised your father to * look after you, and I've tried to do - iL But I've about reached the end. 1 and tonight ha* fini*hed ma." I

CHAPTER XIII I Katie went a dead white and caught at the table for support. “You’re not going to leer*, ar* you?" He swung on her. “You were drinking last night. That's true, isn't it?" "I never did before, Chria. I never drank anything.” “Well, you made a good start," he said savagely. H* did not •ven | notice her us* of his name "I supj pose you know where you've been? Or did you know before you went?" She shook her head. "1 passed out, 1 guess There was a woman there, and she Mid she'd take me home. I didn't know until today when I woke up. I waa going to jump out tbe window." He mw that she was telling the truth, although perhaps not all of it; and she looked entirely exhausted. He pushed a chair behind her, and she dropped into it aa if her knees would no longer hold her. "Doe* Mom know?" "No." “Are you going to tell her? It would kill her, Chria." He conAdered that, his head thrust forward. It was futile to expect anything from Lily but tears end recriminations, and the affair was too grave for either. Katie had escaped once, but anoUier time it might not be eo easy. And he did not want the girl driven to the Street “I’ll think about iL Katie." he said more gently. “But you’ll have to fix up a story that *he’U believe. What on earth made you do it? Take those drinks, 1 mean?" And then to hia utter horror she slid off the chair to the floor at hi* feet and began to sob. “I was so wretched. Chri*. You never even see me. You look at me as though I wasn't there. And I’m eo crazy about you, so crazy about yo« He was almost frozen with coa eter nation. "You silly little fool! Get up and •top crying. What do you know i about loe* anyhow? Get up and etop thia nonsense ” Chris wa* red with indignation sad embarrassment when Katie dragged heroelf to her feet, but she looked eo crushed that for the first time he felt a faint stirring of pity for her. After all, she waa hardly more than a child, a foolish, romantic child; and she must have had a pretty thin time that day, to My the bill. “Listen.” he Mid. “When did you Mt last?" "I don't know. "Last night, 1 guess " "That’s what's wrong with you. Suppose you eit here while I make some coffee and find tome brMd and butter. 1 missed my dinner, too." "I*ll do iL" she Mid, and got up. "And—just forget what I eaid. Doctor. I guess 1 was excited. I kind of lost my head. I didn't mean it. you know." He was glad to let it go at that to believe it waa true. When the odor of boiling coffee brought Lily Walters down somewhat iater, it was to find them companionably cutting bread and butter, and to listen to Katie'* carefully Invented •tory of having danced until morning and slept all day at the horn* of some girl ehe called Gert "You might at least have lot m* know.” "They haven't any telephone. Mom." And that waa all. Chria, listening to this exchange, eould only marvel at the *aoo with which Katie had covered twenty-four hours of sheer drama and near tragedy. It was fantastic, incredible. But then the whole situation was fantastic. Sitting there at the kitchen table, eating incredible quanities of bread and drinking vast quantities of hot eoffee, he surveyed what now amounted to his family; a helpless woman, a foolish girl, and a mongrel dog. His family I Ho did not go to sleep for some time that night. Beyond the partition Katie wee tossing rMtlesily, and he thought that she waa crying. Th* little fool I He rapped on the wall.

He was young and good to look at, but he meant nothing to her. Nevertheless she smiled. "You can’t always get away and go somewhere. Jerry. “Why not? I'd go anywhere with you.” She had a sudden impulse of frankness, to tell him that she was in love with a young doctor in a worn suit and a faded shirt, who had a nasty temper and no manners whatever. But she controlled it. Jerry would only laugh agsin and set to work with more determination. He was like that. Later on that night she went into her mother’s room. Annie, taking off her pearls and putting them into the wall safe, looked tired, and Beverly lingered for a moment or two. “It went well, Beverly. Don’t you think so?" "Very. But I wish—Mother, are you sure you’re all right?" Annie controlled her voice carefully. "I’m only tired.” “bo we have to have these parties?” “Your father likes them. And I don't mind. Don't worry about me, Beverly. I’m all right. What io all this about Doctor Arden? I liked him no much.” "I like him, too, rather," Beverly said slowly. “But he doesn’t care for any of us.
