Priest Hero in Gun Fight [ LZ 'MK MHk John Xiuuuo and Edward Gunlto-r Ftnai chapter in a roaring pun battle in New York City is pictured as robbery suspects John Naumo, left, and Edward Gunther are booked at a police station. Naumo. fleeing from a street gun battle with police, invaded the tenement rooms of an elderly couple and defled police to stir him. threatening for a time the lives of the couple. Only after a priest, the Rev Francis X Quinn, calmly faced the suspect s gun and persuaded him to' give up. did police take their quarry. Gunther, also accused in the robbery, is pictured, right.

DOCTORS

CHAPTER XV There were Umes when death •r. med to be a tangible thing to hits, something to be fsu-ht leas with drugs than by sheer will power. He would wot dare to relax. When, as happened once or twice, bo dr>*e.l out of pure exhaustion.Drath crept up; then he would rouse, shake himself, and renew the battle. "I'm going to die. Doctor." “Nonsense. Well fight this out and win." He did win sometimes. It never occurred U him that he waa uucoascioualy drawing oa anything beyond himself for his strength. The human body waa still pure chemia try to him. As he matured he was to see It aa pure chemistry plus life, and to remember some words of Bergman's a few mouths before he died. "It took four years of medical collev- to km my belief in any sort of God. and forty years of practice to bring it back.” Chris widom went to the hospital during that first month. Theo one day he did go m. to find Nettie Simpson looking old and tired, and to rvalue that they represented the two ends of a long trail "I suppose you'll be coming on duty soon?" she said. "I get a'eoid chill every time 1 think of it. Hands shake, too. Look at them!" He grinned and held out his long surgeon’s hands. To hia immense surprise he found that they were unsteady, and he stared at them. “M ust be smoking too much." Im aaid sheepishly. "Been keeping up on coffee and tobacco. I’d better cut down a bit." She eyed him. but she did not mennon hia hands. "How is it going now? And what are you learning out of it all?" He waa silent for a long minute, "f hardly know yet. I'm sorry for them, if that's what you mean. W hen I fail. I suffer damnably, but I suppose 111 get over that." "How are you living? Are you being looked after?” "I'm all right Not too good, not tor- bad." It was probably, she thought, pretty bad; and in the end she made him tell her the story of his home life. She was thoughtful when he had finished. • “You can't go on indefinitely like this. Chris." “No,” he said. “No. I suppose not. But 1 happen to be God’s gift to two women at the moment, and— ** he smiled— “if you know any other answer. I don’t." “Can't the girl stop school and l. go to work?" He stretched and got up. "1 don’t suppose that has entered her head." he said. "Rather a pretty head it is. too! No. the general idea seems to be that we carry on as is." She sat still for a long time after he had -rone. She was still sitting there v «n an asaistant brought in some requisition slips, and she signed them a'-sently. It was that day that Chris met Annie Lewis in the b-wpital. leaving after a board meeting, and found her bolding out her hand “Why, Doctor Arden!” she said. "Have you deserted us entirely? Or was Eliza our only attraction?" She was smiling, and he tried to smile back. "I've been frightfully busy- I’m sorry." "But you will come?” she persisted, her handsome eyes on him. "After all. we are almost neighbors, aren’t we? Come and dine with us some night. You do have to eat. don't you?" "On occaaion. You'd be surprised to know how often I don't!" That was all, but she moved off feeling that he would not come and that, after all. perhaps Beverly had oeen right There waa a stubborn twist to hia mouth, now, and he looked definitely older, as if life had seen doing things to him. As indeed i it had. But Chris was uncomfortable after he left her that day. His feud was with Staunton Lewis and hia rrowd. not with hia women.

The days passed rapidly toward i Christmas. The pile of slips from , the Department mounted day by t day. and there was a slew but steady . increase in the number of hie prl- . veto paUeata. One month Cbns. i a»ing over his books. made the aur t t rising discovery that nlae-tenthv • of hia eases to date wvre women, and •ittlng back in hia oAce chair, he faced the fact with something like I consternation. Lwas true. Miao Andrews, the ter from down the street, an . unattractive woman of fifty who - l-vlieved that she was the object of t desire and pursuit by every man •be saw; the Bo ward girl, running ■ la day after day with imaginary i ailments, taking up hia time and ■ eliciting a violent letter of proteat * from her father over the sue of hia MH; women talking babies—babies to be, or babies wanted; women ! having trouble with their husbands; and here and there a woman really ill—Cbte was hia practice to date. I He was bitterly discomfited. He discounted or did not realise as far > tors bia youth, hu good looks, his i -inglenona, and saw only women sit- ■ ting across from him at bia desk or iylag In their beds, women watching i him with intent and hopeful eyes Women. Old and y-ung. attractive I or otherwise, but always women! I He pulled himself together After all. this was bls apprenticeship, and ( already he knew that men or - women, often what they wanted was i something more than drugs and . care. The real moment came for i them when, having put away theri mometer and watch, he aat back in ; hia chair beside the bed. They were rather pathetic then, he thought. : This was their hour, the one time when as to a priest they poured out : their anxieties and griefs and even ' their sins. It seemed a long time now since he ! had lived any personal life of hi-' own, and there were moments when !' he wondered if this was all there I waa to be. Then one day the issue ' was put squarely up to him, and he < had to decide between his pride—as witness Staunton lewis and also a certain ten-dollar bill—and his in- i clination. For the morning mail brought him a surprise in the nhapv of a formal card on which Mr. and I Mrs. Staunton Lewis desired the ’ pleasure of his company at dinner i on Christmas Eve. December the < twenty-fourth, at eight o’clock. Katie had gone to school, and Lily I was in the kitchen. He sat alone at 1 the cluttered table, turning the card over in hia hands To go was to i surrender, but. after all. why not surrender? Why not accept the I : friendliness in Annie Lewis's hand- I ’ some eyes? Why not even see Bev. : erly again, if only to realize how i remote she was? Why—oh. why not go anyhow, and damn Lewis and ' all his works! He was enormously cheerful after i that, going up the stain two steps Mat a time, running over hie shirts and Ges. getting out his old evening clothes and carrying them around to ’ Jake Ettenburg for inspection and I alteration. The little tailor put the coat on him and then eyed him. "WeU. IH fix It up. Doctor. It ’ won't be good, but it will be better." He was always to remember Jake 1 like that, with his bead on one side and his tape measure slung ground i his neck a kindly little man with a wife aud children he adored, and a canary singing in the window of '.he shop. ' The day before Christmas found i Chris rather complacent, especially , after Jake that morning had returned his rejuvenated evening , clothes. They looked better than he had expected, and he hung them up . with eare, to torn and find Katie in the doorway watching him. "So you're going out into society 1 tonight!” she said. 1 "How do you know that?" "I saw the card." The card, aa be knew, lay hi a 1 bureau drawer under his handkerchiefs, and he looked at her. * "I thought I'd eased you to let my I thing- alone, my child." ha said l severely. “Well, good heavens, somebody's

got to •traiyhtea them for yom And I'm not yvur child. I’m nothing 16 whirled and went oat. leaving him in a state of acute dls.-omfort and revolt. But later on In the day, in a buret of remorse and Christmas feeling, he sent to the bouse a email Christmas tree and a box of trimtninga. Then, still under the spell, he bought a pair of gloves for each them, saw them tied up with ribbon, and sent them with bis card. To a happier Christmas next year, be wrote on the one to Lily Walters, and did not realise until too late that be had virtually committed himself to another twelve months of the present arrangement He trimmed the tree himself that afternoon and art it gaily in the center of the dining-room table. “Very handsome. I call IL" be said OMMlMeathr. "I've seen worse done by Ranta himself." Lily had gone to the kitchen for something, and Katie and he were alone He looked at her for approval, but she was not smiling. "Why do you do all this for us?" she said somberly. “We’re no good, and you know It. Wky don't you kick us out?" Luckily Lily returned at that moincut. and he did net have to answer her. It was only a few hours after that that the accident happened to Jake Ettenburg, and Annie. after duly waiting aa long aa possible, saw her dinner party go in and Staunton scowling at an empty chair. Queer, all of it. Jake and Katie and Lewises involved for one mom, nt in son.s bit of what Chris in after life was to call the pattern, but which was to be for one of them sheer, stark tragedy. For Jake, hurrying borne with an armful of parcels that night, had been struck by a street ear. Chris was upstairs tying his ! white tie when it happen <l. and Kate was sulking in the kitehen. Then Chris heard the brakes of a trolley ear squealing outside, a woman's scream, and the loud voices of men. "Get a doctor, for God’s sake!" "Lift hiss up, somebody. There's a doctor right here." Chris was oa the stairs when the bell rang wildly, and at the door when a group of men had lifted an inert figure from the track and were carrying it across the pavement “Bring him in." he said, and stood back while the proceasion moved up the steps and into the house. “Got a bed or something. Doetor?" “Not down here. Pat him on the floor in the back office. He's better flat." But one look told him that the man would never be better, and toll him, too, with a sense of shocked horror that it was Jake that same Jake who that morning had proudly sent back lua clothes. He stooped over the prostrate figure. “Can you hear me. Jake?" “Who >s It?" “It's Doctor Arden. Have you any pain anywhere?" “No pain. I feel cold. I guess it's got me. Doc." “You’ll bo ail right, Jake. Just lie still." "I'm thirsty. Hate to trouble anybody, but—" He was going fast, but Chris knew the little group around expected him to do something They stood there awed and awkward, lookihg down and mutely demanding that be do the impossible. And he did what he eould, called for jugs filled with hot water, prepared his hypodermic. A policeman had appeared and was taking names, an ambulance was sent for; but Chris, streaked by that time with blood and grime, knew that it would be too late. He was on the floor beside Jake when be spoke his last words, and, like so many last words of the dying, they were inconsequential, even faintly humorous. "I certainly made a good Job of that suit. Doc," he said, and closed hit eyes, not to open them again. <To be continued) OwnisM kr Me, Astana Mwmm W bus Smim soAtw- Im.
