, CHAPTn XXIV Chris worked almost all night and, turning In toward dawn, was wakened by ths u-lsphone and Jenkins* voice. “larnk hers, you damned fool, what do mean by that stuff yesterday?" e “I meant it Thafs aU." That's plenty. You've got them In a hot spot. Thvy can't tire you how. But this fall they’ll gently ease you out of your job, son. That’s sure as shooting." "That’s aU right with me," ho He did not sleep again, however. It would happen, as Jenkins had said. It would worry and upset Beverly at a time when she was bearing all she could. At nine o'clock he called her by telephone, tn be told that she had been up most of the night and was stfll sleeping. He tried again from • drugstore later in the morning, but Holmes answered that she was with her mother and not to be disturbed. There was nothing to warn him, nothing to tell him of that short, sharp interview between father and daughter the night before. "You wanted him. Now you've rot him. and God help you. ID follow him up If it's the last thing I ever do." "Maybe he's right.* "Right I The impudent young pup! What does he know about it? I'm warning you. If he ever sets a foot in thia house again, ID have him thrown out." All Chris knew, when he entered through hie kitchen door that afternoon, was that he was dirty and hungry, that Lily was out, and that what might have been lunch at aome time or other was now something dried and brown on a cracked plate in the oven of the stove. He needed food, however, and so he took it. It was not until he had set it down on his desk that he saw Beverly, a dry-eyed and white-faced Beverly, who stood in the doorway, tight and unsmiling. “My darlingt” Why didn't you send for me?" “1 think you ought to know that" He stared at her. “Meaning?" "Meaning that you can't expect to be very welcome after yesterday, can you!" He was fairly close to the breaking point himself. He stiffened slightly. "That, I imagine, would de|>end on who is doing the welcoming," he said slowly. “If it’s that newspaper story, I’m sorry, of course. I suppose I was tired. But why not tell the truth. Beverly? After all, it was my duty." “Even if it separated us? You would etill feel it your duty?" “Why should it separate us?" “But if it did?" He hesitated. “Perhaps even then," he said slowly. "But it can't do that, my darling. Not if we love each other." She passed that over. “You owe • duty to ths people who pay you, don’t you?" she demanded. “The eity—" “Oh, damn the city," he said savagely. “What’s that got to do with you and me ?’’ “Because I got you on the city ray roll. You needn't look like that, t’s always done that way I've known Barn- y O'Neill for years." Suddenly he laughed mirthlessly. “And I thought it was because I was a good, doctor! It’s funny. And so it’s always done that way. That's rxxi, too. And me telling Jenkins had no pull!" She ignored that. “You've alwnys hated my father," she said. “But to take a cheap revenge, and at such a time—" “Precisely," he said dryly. “At such a time is right, with things as they are. But hardly a eheap revenge, my dear. It’s costing me my job, isn't it?" “Hasn't it occurred to you that it may eost you more than your job, Chris?" He stared at her. uncomprehending. She was tired, exhausted like himself, and faring a tragedy also. But it was incredible that they should be quarreling. “My darling." ho said gravely, "?’m sorry if I hurt you. I told you long ago that I am not easy to love or cavy to live with I’ve earm dmy money, however it came, but I have 1

my work to do. I rant compromise with that You've known that all along, my dear." •And your work will always come first. Before me. Before anything," she said. "That’s true, Isn't It?" "Not Nol NO!” he said violently. "But it’s got Its place." She stood looking about her uncertainly. at the dust, at the mail ho had had no time even to open, at that wretched plate on the desk; and from there she looked back at him, and anger roes in her again, that shw should cars so much, and that ho should bo looking at her with eyes that were hard and uncompromising. “Life," he said, “has been easy for you. my dear. It isn’t all like that It won't be easy with me Rut I’m prepared to put into it all 1 have, if that's enough." "I'm not sure that it is enough, Chris. Maybe I want too much. Maybe I'm selfish, I don’t Anew. But this last month or so, and with father and you feeling as you do—" She went on. She had not thought it would be like this, especially as things were at borne. She had thought that he would at least have some time for her. Perhaps she was jealous of his work. Bhe didn't know. But in that case she was not cut out for a doctor's wife, was she ? Anyhow her father would soon ba alone, and he would need her. When she married. If she ever did— Chris heard her through, his jaw set hard. He made no defense, helped her not at all. Only at the end he sat up in his chair and smiled at her across the desk. “My dear girl," he said, “you needn't either attack me or defend yourself. You are right as you see things, and maybe I am right, too. I’m never sure of that, of course. But if you want to be free, darling, you are free.” Perhaps she had not expected that She went rather white again and got up, and Chris, leaping to his feet, aaid, "Only if you want it, my dear." She stood quite still, and he had the feeling that there was some thing she had not said and that should be said. But sbe did not say it Instead she smiled faintly. “I'm afraid I do want it, Chris." She gave a curious, almost a heart-breaking, glance around the room and then turned and went out. He followed her, but he found nothing to say. When he had closed the door behind her, he noticed that he was trembling. He shut himself into his back cfike and sat down again. His knees would not bold him. For a day or two his pride kept him awsy from her. He was working at terrific pre-.ure, too, and perhaps he hoped that, given time, Beverly would see reason and send i for him. But nothing happened, and at last he put his pride in bis pocket and climbed the hill. Holmes answered the door, and one glance at his face was enough. "Things pretty bad. Holmes?" “I'm afraid she s going, Doctor." He did not ask to go in. and so Annie Lewis died that day without i him. She went very quietly at the end, only once she muttered something that sounded like his name, and tried to hold out her hand. Beverly, a white wraith beside the bed, had gone even paler And then it was all over, and Annie ha a gone p reliably to the same heaven as little Jake the tailor: although she lay tn state for two days under a pall of orchids, whereas Jake had been worth, all told, only five hundred dollars to the fraction company. On the day after Annie's death Chris resigned from hi« eity job, at least saving himself the stigma of being ousted, and two days later he sat in his office and faced his successor, a heavy young man named Barrett. Chris did not like him. He was eocksure and arrogant, and there wa- nothing in that meeting to show that their lives were to be mixed in any fashion whatever Barrett at once stated that he was not in medicine for his health, and i that as for the eity poor, they were I dirty and thri’Uess, and so what could you expect ? Chris, who had expet ted little and received rather leg*. !''t< nrd to him carefully, his face st'ghUy averted. Ule had done thia to them, handed

The sudden orders' for the J United States fleet to return to [the Pacific, where it* would restore the Iwlance of naval power thtoughout the world in event of a i European war. coincided with aei tiou by the Japanese- foreign office* to cooperate with Germany and Italy regarding the Roosevelt |M*nce message. The Tokyo foreign office Instructed Its ambiissmlors in all , European capitals to report re- ' gardlng reception of the mestwige which came as war minister Gen. Helshlro Itagnkl was denouncing ' foreign powers — Britain particularly for economic aid to Chins.

to this eoekaure youth his children of the shadows. "You'll find they're not all bad Doctor Barrett "Well, they are good clinical material, anyhow," Barrett grinned. “Jenkins says you spoiled them!” "I treated them like human beings, not senm." But Parrett was unimpressed. He went away still smiling. The shabby office had not been lost on him. That fool back there had no idea of publie psychology. Look prosperous and you became proaperous. Already he had furnished his own place handsomely on the installment plan. Chris felt rather lost after that, as if he bad suddenly changed the open road for a euLdr sac and confronted a blank wall: and ho had a queer feeling of detachment, as if Annie and not Beverly had born the tie to the big house; as if indeed ho had been for a time the son she had nover borne, and oho the mother ho had lost so early. It was perhaps a week after Annie's funeral when Katie came homo from the hospital for her half day, to sniff the musty odor of the bouse as she stood in the hall, and to see on the table a small black-bordered envelope addressed to Chris. She stood looking at it; then she wandered back to the kitchen and surveyed it with distaste. Lily was not around, but the stove was going, a kettle hissing on it She took ou her hat and called up the back stairs: "Mom! Hey, Mom!” There was no answer, and after a moment’s hesitation Katie went back to the front hall and picked up the envelope. It was lightly sealed, and with a little steaming— She went cautiously back to the kitchen again and held it to the spout of the kettle; she was still holding it there when she heard Lily on the back porch. She was frightened, for Lily had her own code, such as it was, and there was no time to escape. She did the only thing she could think of, jerked the kettle aside and dropped the black-bordered letter into the fire. She was putting the kettle back when Lily came in. "What's all the fire for, Mother ?" “I was going to have a cup of tea Better have one.” They sat together at the kitchen table and had their tea, and within a day or two Chris saw in the paper that Beverly and her father had sailed for Europe. It was the first time he had really believed that his love affair was over. It was about that time that Chria ceased to be called “the young doctor” by the neighborhood, and became Doctor Arden, or often merely. “the Doctor." The youth had gone ont of him. For a time he thought that Beverly would surely write to him, and he would hurry home from wherever he had been to look at the hall table. No letter came, however, and in time he stopped looking for any. Katie, coming home once a week, watched him uneasily. “He looks sick. Mother. Is he still worrying about her?" “I don't know. All I know is there’s no pleasing him. He found the cellar lights burning the other morning, and he shouted so you could hear him a block away. How are you getting on?" "All right, I guess. This kitchen is a sight, Mother. Don’t you ever wash the dishes?" For this was a new Katie, not only a Katie who had, so to speak, burned her bridges behind her. but a Katie alternately frightened at what she had done and secretly exultant. Probably neither then nor later did she know the full extent of that infamy of hers. What was a letter? Rut then, what was anything now that Chris wns free again? She was a new Katie tn other ways also, although Chris hardly noticed it; a Katie familiar with neatness and even cultivating it, a Katie who had already seen tragedy , and death in a variety of forms, but a Katie, too, now definitely more cheerful and with a new hope springing in her practical young breast since Chris's engagement was broken.

Early today It reached j a SI.S tool stage and was rising steadily toward the 53-foot flood level Nearly a hundred farming families moved from their homes in trailers, in general use shne the 193" flood. Thousands of acres of land Were inundated. It was estimated that the river was rising about four-tenths of a foot an hour, faster than during the peak of the 1937 flood. The Miami river along the OhioIndiana border was at flood stage for nearly the last fifty miles of its course into the Ohio. It threatened to pocket Lawrenceburg, and it was reported that the Ohio was at a 80-foot stage there. Many high ways were closed and some bus sevice discontinued. The crest of the February flood at Lawrenceburg was at feet. At l-alayctte. the Wabash river ■ rose from an K-foot level Saturday to a 15 9 stage yesterday morning. Early today the river was at 1«6 and still rising slowly. The flood stage at Lafayette la 15 feet and although low-lying farm land was flooded, only a few families were forced from their homes.
