If you like aster*. but have trouble growing them, there is good news for you. Resistant strain*, whose exceptional vigor enables them to light off all troubles, are being constantly improved. A wilt resistant aster. Early Giant Light Blue, won a silver medal m the All America trials tor 1939. indicating that in addition to vigor the new resistant strains have attained exceptional beauty as well The China aster is one of the *h >w n wer* among the annual*. Though not related to the chrysanthemum it ha* many points of resemblance—both are native* of China, both have been developed into an amazing variety of forms and colors from an original small single flower, and both are at their best in the fall. Asters have been grown in this country since revolutionary days and twenty years ago it was the most popular annual but in recent year* many amateurs have become discouraged because of the diseases vhieh attacked Os these, two are m>*t prevalent, the wilt and the yellow*.

DOCTORS

CHAPTER XLV Katie rave her party that fall, and Ted Lawrenc*. wandering in late, found her gay and triumphant in the midst of it “Got about* everybody In town here, haven’t you?’ 1 he said above the noise of the orchestra. "Where’s Chris?" "Why bring that up!" she said. "Where is Chris at any party?" Soon after that Ted found Chris shut in his back office. his empty pipe in his mouth and his eyes gating at nothing. He started when the door opened. “Come in. Ted. I’ve run away from that infernal din. It drives me craxy." "Why not go up to bed?” said Ted prosaically. "Most of this crowd won’t know whether you’re here or not." “I can't. I have a call or two to make." Ted examined him, critically. Chris was pale, and the hands which held. his pipe were unsteady. “You can damn well go to bed or break up. That’s about where you are." "Nonsense. I’m all right." But he was not all right. He was ditzy when he got to hi* feet, and had to put out a hand to steady himself. “Listen to me,” Ted «aid. “You’re on the verge of a breakup, my lad. What you need is a doctor. Take a bromide and go to sleep. 11l make your call* tonight. Give me the list." Chris shook his head. “I want to get out into the air. Anywhere but here.” Ted left him there finally, and Chris sat alone at his desk. Through the closed door he could hear the sound of the iaxx hand, of voices raised above the din, of loud laughter. This was the life, they seemed to say; the one life one was sure of. Eat and drink and dance. You'll be a long time dead. He stirred uneasily. The beat of the music and of dancing was in his ears, in hl* brain. One worked to the limit, day and night, so that this might hapnen! What was that thing in the oath he had taken? Old Hippocrates and his oath, “With purity and with holiness I will practice my art.” Purity and holiness! A girl opened the door of the office, smiling back at the man behind her, but when she saw Chris, she closed it again quickly. He got up then, still steadying himself by the desk, his face gray over his evening clothe*, his eyes hot and scornful. Outside he stood for a moment looking up at the sky and drawing in great breaths of the clean night air. The chauffeur was on duty in the driveway, and Chris turned abruptly and went back to the garage, where Katie’s new limousine stood beside his own car. He backed his car out. The driveway was lined with cars, and he was obliged to go carefully. At the gate he turned and looked back. But even there the music followed him, and he stepped suddenly on the gas and shot along the darkened streets. Once away from the din. however, he moved more slowly. His eye* were burning in Ms head, his mouth was hard He drove deliberately now. passing this district or that, siring familiar house* and gather•ng together those old eases of his like beads on a rosary. Here he had faded, here he had succeeded. He reached the mill district at last. The furnaces were going again, and the blast* were close at hand; a dull roaring of blue and yellow flames, the figures of men moving about like pygmies, and then darkness and the tisrure* gone, blotted out al by some monstrous death. But tlie district had changed since the early days. There were playground* for children here and there District nurses visited the sick. The water supply was carefully watched, and now in hot weather the fire department turned on the hydrant* and children splashed in the water. Perhaps, after all, the world was! growifig better. He didn’t know. It was two o'clock In the morning'

when he reached th* hospital, nut th* staff was accustomed to hi* eccentric hours. He went upstair*, making hl* rounds much a* if the hour were usual, going into quiet rooms, speaking to the nurse*, leaving this order and that. What did those people at his house know or care of thia other night life, of a crying child against the blare of Jan, where pain and not pleasure was king? If they knew, perhaps they would care, but they did not know. He was very tired aa he turned toward home. It was still dark, that darkest hour before the dawn, and the street* were quiet At the hou*e the music had gone but the phonograph had replaced it, and the party, if smaller, seemed even noisier than ever. He slipped in by a side entrance and got to his office without being seen. !•■*< after sunrise Katie, opening the door, found him there with hi* head on hi* desk. “Where have you been?" she demanded indignantly. “I've put you on the map socially in this town, and then you run out on me!” He roused and yawned. "I* that so important? Being on the social map?” "It's brought you a lot of work." "I had an idea that I got the work because I was a fair-to-middling surgeon." he said, and seemed drew sily to remember having said some thing like that a long time before. He went back to work convinced that he eould do his bw>t and no more. He had learned philosophy by that time When he lost a case, he accepted th* fact without his earlier shock and worry. Over the operating table, masked and gowned he was coolly efficient, and as hi* reputation grew, his revenues poured into the hospital, helping it to carry on. Burnett took hinwnto the office one day and showed him some figure*, and even Chris was surprised. But he was working on his nerve, ■nd one day he told Dawson, the new hospital psychiatrist, that life was the cheapest thiry in the world, and that he was sick of trying to save a lot of people who didn’t de serve saving Dawson eyed him simply. "What makes you say that?" | Chri* grinned. “It’s true, isn't it? Not all of them, of course, but a good many. I fight to send them I baek to whatever they call living; but I don't fool myself. I haven’t - added anything to the world." "You’re traveling on your nerve. How long do you expect to keep it up?” “A* long as I can earn money by it." Dawson saw that something was wrong, but when he suggested that Chris come m and talk to him, Chris merely laughed. "And have you probing into my mental insides? No, thanks. I’m keeping my own secrets!" "Probably that what’s wrong with you." Chris went on, still grinning, wa* not until the early spring of 1925 that Chris finally met catastrophe. To the eye he was much the same. He still retained hi* quick smile, his strong body, his heavy dark hair. He wa*. for al! that bitter new philosophy of his. still gentle of hand and compassionate Hi* reputation continued to grow. He never joined the small group of nationally known, but within his orbit he wa* a definitely shining star. Now and then he saw Bob Barrett at the house and wondered about Katie. Once, after a serious difference, he asked her if she wanted to leave him for Barrett. She looked at him quickly, as if she were startled. “If you want to get rid of me—” "That’s not what I said. I asked you if you wanted to be free." But Katie was not sure of Bob Barrett, even then. He wa* not. the . marrying sort, and she had no intention of finding herself out on a I limb.

Up on th* Mil th* hospital wa* rising to completion. It covered much of th* 4d Lewis property, imposing structure that seemed tn dominate the city. On* day the new building* wer* ready. If the staff felt a vague disloyalty In abandoning the old structure, they said little about It. But the break was not easy for any of those who had built their li-ea around it. This hospital had been theirs. The new one would b* Staunton Lewis’s. It was aa if he had reached out from that mausoleum where he lay, to make a final arrogant gesture "Take this," he seemed to say. "I give it to you. I, Staunton Lewis. Forget the old things and go on to the new Forget the Christmas mornings in the ehapel, and the old horse-drawn ambulance; forget Grant and Netti* Simpson and old Joe and al! the other*. It la no good to remember But always you will remember me " On the night before the forma! opening of the new hospital there wa« an informal meeting of those who had served the old on*. They sat around the familiar rooms, now worn like themselves with yean of service. They made little *p**ches. these older men, or tried to. "When I first came here forty years ago , . Their voice* would thicken, their throat* contract. They would mumble something further and sit down; for the pfß»irg of the hospital marked the passing of their youth, the passing even of their matn’ity. Now only age lay ahead, and they wer* too old for new things. Chris, listening, was moved and resentful. What right had Staunton to reach out after he wa* gon* to uproot these men, too late for transplanting? Why not«let them alone for their remaining years? The building* were old but adequate. They could have been replaced on* by one. an easy transition, but Lewis had chosen the grandiose gesture. Late that night Chri* found himself alone in the operating room. He switched on th* lights and cared about him. It was clean and in order, but already some of the equipment was gone, and 1t looked empty and deserted. The sight depressed him. In away it had been the focal point of his life. Other men had homes, wives, children. He had only this. For fourteen years this had been the theatre, and hone of the actors. Now the curtain had fallen on it. That play was over, and tomorrow a new one would begin. He wa* morosely unwilling to go home. Instead, and still alone, he made his way through the hospital. The wards were sleeping, but In the children’s ward a child was crying, and he went in surpriair.g • harassed night nurse. "He’s all right. Doctor. But he’a homesick. He’s just ornie in." "Let me have him." he said. "11l look after him. It’s time for your supper, isn’t it?" T can't do that, Doctor!" "Run along.” he told her. and, pick mg up the boy. he sat down in one of the low ehairs. The child stopped crying, and Chri* held him cloae. “U’s alt right, son,” he said. G* to sleep. It’* al) right!" The small body relaxed !•» hi* arms, and he sat there in the semidarkness, his long leg* stretched out in front of him, the child sleeping with its head on his shoulders. So he should hav* sat, he thought, in the warm darkness of his own house, holding his own child. But there was comfort in the contort of the •mail body, and after a time he, too. relaxed. It wa* a* if they had each something to give the other, man and child; and that something was escape from loneliness. He tightened his hold unconsciously. • When the nurse returned some time later, Chris had gone, and the child lay quiet in his bed. (To be continued) UM *• ae—ntMtwoiM *» ■>•• rw»ra> iiMhh Im
