CHAPTER XL! A few days later Jerry was drunk again, and after two or three experiences of thia sort Beverly sent for Chris and told him the story. “I don't blame him, Chris. But he's killing himself.** “What can I dor And then suddenly all her reserves were down, and she was sobbing wildly on his shoulder. "1 cant bear it. Chris. I've reached my limit And now to have to call on you!** He brought Jerry home vint time toward morning, a Jerry who confused him with the Military Police and got in several good blows before he was subdued. And it was Chris who sat the rest of the night beside the bed where Jerry lay in a stupor. He sat there, his chia on his hand, waiting for his hypodermic to take effect and watching the man on the bod. It was a tine piece of irony, he thought, that the boot he could do for Beverly now was to give her a few hours of release; and to try to save for her a man whom she had never loved. It was only the first of several such episodes Sometimes Jerry was missing only for a day. Again he would be lost for a week, and Chris would comb the city for him. He was a pathological case, a psychopathic drinker. Chris knew it, Beverly knew it, in time even Staunton Lewis realized it. ft was only one addition to Staunton’s rapidly mounting troubles, however. He had overexpanded during the war, and with its abrupt termination he found some of his great enterprise dangerously near the rocks. Late at night Beverly, waiting for Jerry to come home, would see the light under the study door and know that her father was there. In the morning his wastebasket would be tilled with scratch paper, covered with his small neat figures. He had built an empire, and now it was crumbling about him. He lasted, however, through that first year after the Armistice and well into the second. Then one morning his valet tapped at hi* door and found his room empty. Hs treat into the bathroom, but Lewi* was not there, and so he notified Beverly. It was not until the house had been searched that she remembered her mother's closed room, and it was there that she found him. Apparently he had been standing beside the bod. because when hi* heart gave out. he had fallen across it. She did not call for help. Sha saw at once that he vu dead, had been dead for hours, and so for a little while she left him there on Annie's bed. It was as if those two, so long separated in life, were now united again. Probably he had come there often, slipping in at night when the bouse was quiet and standing beside that bed. perhaps even wandering about the room as he had while her mother still lay there. Beverly stood by the bed looking down at him Strange, she thought, that he had allowed death to unmask him. In his own queer fashion he must always have loved her mother, even built his eueecas in order to be important to her. It had been his compensation for his smallne-a of stature, his early poverty. And then he had loot her Beverly leaned over and put a hand on his arm. *T think she know* now. Father.” she said quietly. “Perhaps she always did know.” She was still there, very ealm. when Holmes found her. She was still very calm when his will was read. It had been made during the great days of his empire, and what with bequests, the endowment for the laboratory. and a still larger sum to build a new and modern hospital on the site of his house and grounds, she learned that there would be little left. It did not matter greatly to her. Money never had been important to her. But when a day or two later she tried to dismiss liulmaa aud he refused to go, she wept for the first time since her father's death. “I'm staying. Miss Beverly,”

Holmes said stolidly. “Thsy'd have t liked to know that, both of them; - that l‘m looking after you." r AU those years of living, and now only Holmes was left to her I 1 Jerry remained sober during all that trying Uni. Ho had had bls own IwMoa since the war. and the collapse at the Lewis fortune was serious for him. But hs had novar ooms back to her. He was definitely living his own life now. He would i earns ia, bathe and drsas, and go out again. She would boar his car going out the driveway and wait 1 for it to come back. Sometimea it came, sometimes not. i She would go to bed then, but not i to sleep. She would lie in the dark trying to make her plena. EvonCu - ally thia house would be gone, and they must go somewhere else. But whose t • • • • For Chris it was good to be heck . at the hospital again. Definitely i now it was hie spiritual home. True, he alept and sometimes ate at the house; but outside of office hours it had ceased to be important to him. At midnight or later be would go back, occasionally to find the place lighted and some of Katie's friends still there, but often to find it dark save for the light in the hall. Ho would go up*tain then to Dick’s old room, undress, read for a while, perhaps drop to sleep with his lamp still burning. But of personal life he had little or none. Ho was an efficient working machine, more efficient than he had ever been, but that was all Wort was coming in again after that early discouragemeat He had a nurse in the downtown office now. a practical young woman with no nonsense about her, and everything was grist that came to hi* mill. If he had misgivings at times, he could draw a deep breath of thankfulness when a crisis was safely passed. But bis responsibilities lay heavy on him. Sometimes he failed Not gods, but mon"—and earned away with him a bitter feeling of failure aad self-distrust And sometimes he found a victim of inexpert surgery and was filled with profound indignation “It’s sickening," he told Ted Lawrence. “These days any follow with a pair of rubber gloves thinks he can go into an abdomen*” “Not into mine,” said Ted cheerfully. “I'm holding onto my organ* with a death grip ” Chris’ work was his life now. Katie ran hi* house well, although she raged over his Irregular meal*, and. looking back later, he was to realize that if she had given him little of herself, he had given her even less of himself. He could not travel two roads at once. Even their hours rarely coincided. Long before she was awake, he was up and on his way to the hospital, and often he eame in after she had gone to bed. closing the front door quietly and smelling again that persistent odor of mold in the hall which told him that he was in hi* own house again It was in the autumn of 19'21 that he finally decided to give up hi* general work. Th* night hour* were bad for his surgery—hs would Co into the operating room tired. la hands not toe steady—and one day he handed over hi* general practice to Ted Lawrence “You won't keep them all.” he said. "But some of them will stick.” He grinned. “You’re an ingratiating young devil. Ted. They’D like you." "I'm a demon with ths women,” *aid Ted modestly. Together they ran down the list. Chris had unlocked hi* file, and aow he threw out on hi* desk the record*, one by one. He was throwing his past overboard, and he knew it. Cold and detached as were hi* ease histories. through each one ran hie life blood. Here he had fought and won; here he had lost. When ho eame to the Henry Jamieson file, be sat gas Ing at ft with a revival of that old pain of hie.

"I don’t need to tell you i what 1 feel about thia, Chris.” > But Chris was carefully filling his care of them. Tod. ’• all.

It’s a plumber's Job.” I Hs retained his offices In the . house, but only out of sentiment and for emergencies. His work aa consultant was dons ia the downtown office, where he now had a secretary She eat ala desk ia the waling room, handling the telephone, watching his appointments; a apinstensh young woman who brought her lunches in a bo* and who kept hie books an- 4 sent out his bills. He was becoming an important local figure, and his reputation was spreading Doctors out in the country began to send him cases, and now and then he went himself to *ome remote spot when the patient could not be moved. Sometimes the cases camo to him from the outlying districts; a strotchsr flat on the floor of the baggage ear, and some weary country doctor sitting on n box beside it Ono day Chris stood on the platform and saw a gray-faced man getting out "My son. Doctor," he said, "and my wife is praying for you and for him." It wa* touch and go, that ease, but Chris fought it doggedly. The picture of that unseen woman was behind everything he did, and in the and he—or she—wen. He felt exhausted after it but triumphant. “Well, I guess we've turned the Urick!" “Ye», with the help of God.” He went to the train himself when they started buck, father and eon. He felt that he wanted to give the boy back to hi* mother again. Yet on the way he wondered whether he had not given that particular ease more than he had to give, as if •ome power had flowed into him from an unknown source. Wa* them, after all, something else? Something be had denied, and that old David Mortimer had been able to summon when he needed It? He did not know, but always after that he had a phrase for it. He called it working better than he knew how. He got a car about that time. Now ho drove himself through the gate* and into the hospital courtyard, hie new shining car among the others It seemed a long time since with envious rye* he had watched Bergman and Grant and the others doing the same thing. He had not greatly changed. He still kicked ehairs when they got in hie way. and fought inanimate thing* such as collar* and dress tie*. "Hell and damnation.” he would shout, and tear the collar off his neck or throw the tie on the floor. Katie, hearing sounds of these distant battles, would tighten her mouth and keep out of hi* way. But he wa* still gentle in hi* work and usually indulgent with her. “Sorry for the noise, my dear, but if you will give parties—!” For Katie was now carefully building a life of her own. He did not blame her. He had leas and leas to offer her. But a* a result he had little or no home life. He would go back to the house to find her out, or to find a crowd there, the inevitable dinking upstair* of highball and rocktail glasses and ice, and the loud sound of voice*. When be appeared, a* be sometime* did. they never accepted him Once again he frightened them, apparently. He could not play their light game of give and take, th* casual love-making and increased tippling after the war. Yet there was nothing in hie face or carriage to suggest that ha dealt in life and death instead of stork* I and bond*. <To bo continued) Own sM a* UM* s«ww ri- - , - ou»w*i*e w aus e*uwM *r-ar —. *» 4
