CHAPTER Lil One tiny Beverly saw In the paper „ at K,tw wa " Koing to marry Bob B arret, and wondered whether Chris knew it, and whether it would hurt him. Rut Chria knew it already and waa not hurt. •They’ll get along." J** bought without resentment " 1 hey’re both ambitious, and she’ll help him. Ha'* making money, too. She’ll like that" It rather puuled him that after *o long a time together with Katie he felt it no little. But he wag busy now, aad he had little time to renicnibrr. Work was coming in steadily. When the ca*e wan beyond hi* capacity, he would send to tome town for help, or—aa it happened once or twice—bundle it up in ths tar beaida him and taka It to the nearest hospital, half a day’s drive away. Physically he waa well, but not comfortabla. Mrs. Miller had not been able to com* back, and he managed with a villa** woman an bvur or two a day. then one day in February that problem was solved so unexpectedly that later on be was to look back on it and grin with pure delight. He was at hi* desk that morning when th* bell rang, followed by th* entrance of a tall, faintly familiar Amr* in a too blue suit and with a cigarette dangling from an impudent lip. Th* figure stopped in the doorway and struck an attitude. “Well, by golly, and if it ain't my eld friend the Doc!" It was Dick Walters, a Dick as insouciant as ever, with a cheerful grin, and a suitcase in hi* hand. “Dick! How on earth did you get here?" “Wei!, that's a long story," said Dick, coming in and settling himself on the edge of the desk. “1 was back home, and I beard of your little trouble, *o I thought I’d come and look over the ground.” “Well, how does it look, now F’u're here?" “Bad to fair. Nothing doing with the arm yet?" "Not yet." “Rotten luck." He got off the desk. 11l go up and park thia bag somewhere. Thea I’ll look around an-1 see what's what" “Look here." Chri* said, “let me get this straight Is this a visit you’re making me!" “You can call it that if you want. No wage* anyhow." Neither then nor later did Chris ever know just what that emergence of Dick's meant He never mentioned the war, save once to boast that he was drawing partial disability compensation. “And believe me, boy, I earned it" He never expressed any gratitude to Chris for th* night he had saved hijn. But after his ova fashion he paid back every jot and title of that debt, from the first evening when Chris, coming in from s call, found him over the stove, hi* j vternal cigarette in his mouth, holding off the irate day woman who had rome in to get the supper. "It’s all right. Grandma," he was •aymg. "I’m a eook. I used to cook when I was in the pen. Don’t you worry about hi* stomach. I’ll fill it" He literally drove her out, and -hris had some difficulty in pacifying her. There commenced with Dick a new era in Chris'* life. Dick had no repressions, no delicsriex. What <t* thought of Katie was bluntly told, once and for all. But th* healthiest thing was hi* attitude toward Chris'* infirmity. "Let's see it. Doe Don't be a fool. May be I can rub some sense into it." Chri* let him examine it. "Humph!" he said. "Looks like something you found under a atone! Well, let's get at it." He massaged it daily after that, with singularly skillful hand* and infinite patience. He would sit. hi* ngwrette dangling, and work over ft, talking to it aa one might to a ffiild “Come on. now. get eom* sens* mta you. Quit playing possum. Get a move on you. How’s that. Doe?" From the first that hand and arm wore hi* job. although he took over

the entire establishment. Re waa not an unmixed blessing. He was noisy in th* house, whistling and singing But ha fed Chri* w*ll, h* cleaned the car and drove it on occaaiem, and he was evvn useful in the offku, for he had no squeamiahnesa. It was not long before Chria began to feel a faint tingling in that dead arm of hie, aad found hl* knee* weak aa water under h.m. He said nothing to Dick about it, but Dick waa shrewd. He increased kis effort*. He would pick up a finger and hold it "Com* on. baby. Just * flutter now. Wiggle* bit. Try it. Poe - Then on* night in response to this urging, a finger did move, and Dick let out a whoop and did a dance over the ruunt “We've got it. Doe! We've got tt beat. A couple of month* aad you'll be fighting me with it" Chria could not speak. He sat in his chair looking at the hand. Now he willed the finger to move again, and it did. When he looked up at lhek, he found kirn noisily blowing bis itm, "I'm Uta stuff. Doc. Who said your uncle couldn't do it?" He bent down and gave Chria a terrific wallop oa th* back. “And now bow about a shot of liquor to celebrate? Where's th* whiskey?" It was over that temperate celebration that Dick leaned back euddenh? in his chair and laughed. "What's the joke, old man ?" "I’m thinking of Katie. She went overboard, and then the ship didn't sink! May be this won’t hurt her like biases." Before he went upstair* that night Chris put an arm around Dick'* choulder*. much to his embarrassment. "I guess you're even more than even now, Dick.” “Don't go soft oa roe. Doc. I've had a hell of a good time." He banged out the door, leaving on on* of those mystenoua night excursions of his when he sometime* took the car to go incredible distance* to dance or, as Chris suspected. to go flo distance at all with on* of the village girls. And Chris, alone in the house, lighted the temp in his room that night and stood looking at hl* hand and arm. There was motion there; not much, but some. It would come back, that hand of his. He had an odd feebng that perhaps, after all, Noel's pragmatic God hied bent from Hi* great whit* throne and made a gesture toward him. "I am thankful," he said aloud, “to something or other. Thankful and grateful." He was arnased to find that he was trembling. He atill had a long way to go. but at least he had a direction now. Progresa. The time came when he could bend hi* fingere. but there a« yet no grip to them. It was shortly afterward that be wrote to Ted, in that clumsy left-handed writing of his: "You’ll be glad to learn that there are some evidence* of union. The hand's still preuy ueeicsa. but it's coming back. If it goes on aa it has . . ." His only reply was a telegram, indicating that Ted was having a »tre*k of patriotism, and saying merely, “Three cheer* for the red, white, and bhie." Dick was still there when Noel came home for th* Easter holidays. Chn* left the aaeeting at the station to Hiram and Amy, but all morning he watched across the fieMv for the boy'* young figure, and Diek watched him. “Think a tot of that kid, don’t you?" "Wait until you see him." Th* house was in order and a fire burning in Chris'* study when at last a young figure leaped the gate and marched sturdily up the path, Dick whistled softly to himself. Jerry Ames all over, he thought. But th* boy's face was soberer than Ames'* had ever been, and the eyea mor* direct. He listened to th* door a* it opened and shut. “Anybody home?" "Home and wailing, eon!" Chri* called.

Dick gave them an hour and then appeared with a plat* of sandwich**. He found Cnris lying back in his deep chair and the buy sturdily planted in front of the fire. •This is Mr. Walters, Noel," he said. “Hell toll you that he won th* war. But he won't tell yon what he's done for me." Dick looked embarrassed, but he Cnnod as Noel gravely shook hi* id and thanked him. "What's be been telling you?" he demanded. "I wanted free board for a while, and I got it. That's all." They becamu great friends, th* boy and the man. Chris, wandering into th* kitchen after a patient had gone, would find them washing dishes together. But Dick's cheerful unmorality, hie purely pagan philosophy, began to worry Chris. Noel wae at th* imitative stage, and behind him, too, was th* heritage of Jerry Amea. Already in those few days he had accepted Dick's flippant speech. Perhaps, Chris thuught, he was a little jealous, too- The boy was all be had now, and with Dick's coming there had been a subtle change in their retetionship. "Want to see a ease with me, Noeir “I told Dick I’d go fishing." But Dick was slaying fair. One day Chria found Noel regarding bun with bright, curious eyes. • "Did you save hi* life? He say* no." “That was my job, son." “But be say* you carried him for hours, and then operated." T couldn't very well leave him where he wax it was pretty messy." Chris was rather quiet that week, and Dick watched him with shrewd and understanding eyes. Then on* morning, coming down to breakfast, Chria was astounded to find Dick's suitcase in the hall, Dick in his bright blue suit in the dining room eating, and Mrs. Miller bustling about the kitchen. "What's aU this, Dick? You're not leaving?" “I always migrate In the spring, Doc," he said airily. “Time for my flight. Mat's all." Chria tried to persuade him to stay, but he only grew restive. It was when Chna suggested that he ought to settle down somewhere, however, that his eyes became somber. “Cut that. Doc," he said. “I liked a girl once, but somebody got ahead of me. Get ’em and forget ’em—that'* my motto now.” Then his voice softened. “Say good-bye to th* kid for me. Doc. He's a good kid. I'm not the man to help raise him." The next minute he was shouting Ito the kitchen. “Hey. there,” he called. "Where are those eggs? You don't have to lay ’em. Just cook ’em." Chris drove him to th* station, divided between relief and a sense of loss. Dick. You know "Well, I suppose a fellow would miss a bad tooth!" They stood on the bare platform, constrained with the fear of grown men for aentimentality. Both of them knew that it was not likely they would meet again; and Chria, Poking down at Dick e thin figure in ita fantastic clothing, could find nothing to say. Dick, however, was whistling lightheartedly, h's eyes on th* track. “Funny.” he said. “Trains always excite me. 1 like to be going places." "If you're ever in troubte. y-iull let me know, won’t you?" "If I'm ever out of It, 111 tell you That will be news!" Noe! reached th* platform as the tram drew in. He waa breathless snd puuled, but Diek merely waved him a cheerful good-bye “Be a good boy and wash behind your ears, kid.“ he yelled. Then he swung his suitcase onto the platform and mounted it h.-nself. “If cither of you ever need me. I’D come on the run.” he ahcuted. “Run! Hilly."
