SYNOPSIS Beauchamp's leading family, tha Howard Thayers, are to entertain that night in honor of Howard’s middle-aged sister, Reyna, author and world traveller, whom the war had forced home after being thirty years abroad. Lucienne, Howard’s attractive young daughter by a previous marriage, admires Aunt Reyna almost as much as she does her cousin, young Gail Benton, the only woman doctor in Beauchamp. Agnes, Howard’s domineering wile, and Lucienne, who is convalescing from a recent appendectomy, are chatting with Reyna who learns that Gail's parents had died when Gail was seventeen, and that Howard had financed her medical education. “But as soon as she finished, she paid Dad back,” Lucienne added. Now Gail is on the staff of ths Thayer Hospital, and it was rutnored that when Dr. Cassius Me Cormick, chief of staff, picked hit new assistant, it would be eithei Gail or Dr. Ralph Kramer.

CHAPTER THREE The hospital was a landmark on Beauchamp Heights. It was a formidable red brick building with a slate roof, white shutters, and an entrance guarded by magnificent Doric columns. Ainos Niles was superintendent of the hospital. But Dr. Cassius McCormick was the virtual head. Everybody bowed before him, catered to him, feared him. Except Gail Benton. “Ard I'm not going to start eringing now,” she thought, as she swung down the dark, cool hall to Dr. McCormick's private office. She was a tall, slender young woman with good shoulders and a slim waist. In a simple, beige linen suit, with her black hair combed oft her wide, intelligent forehead, her humorous mouth barely touched with lipstick, she looked like any affable, competent young woman in her late twenties. It had been a heetie morning. Two operations; visits to her own patients in the wards; the stretch in the clinic, the emergency call to the Springdale slums. And now she was due at her office, not only to see her own patients, but also those of Dr. Ferrel, whod been called up for service in the Array M< dkal Corps. it was almost two o’clock, and she had found no time for lunch nor for a call to Burke Gentry. When he’d telephoned last night, asking, "What are you wearing tomorrow, darling?" she'd been deep in a new medical journal. She had put it down and smiled into the transmitter, as if Burke’s attractive image were there. “I’m not sure yet,” she said. “Shall I ring you tomorrow?” Burke was sweet... she must call him the first free moment she had. She knocked on Dr. McCormick's door. .. "Come in." Dr. McCormick was sitting at his desk. There was a kind

of old world elegance to the room; paneled walls hung with pictures of tha great men in medicine, the Mayos, Sir William Osler; and rod damask draperies. Dr. McCormick was ia his late fifties, but ho had the apart frame, the ageless resilience that comes from almost ascetie living. His head might have been painted by El Greco; the long bony ekull, the cold, , dark eyes, the gray Vandyke hiding the stubborn set of his mouth. He wav the most influential man in ; Beauchamp, even more so than How- ; ard Thayer. If you were a doctor, ho ( could literally make your future, or ruin it.

"Good afternoon. Gail. Sit down.” Gail took the Chippendate chair opposite him. How many times she had been in this room during her days as an ipterne and as a resident; and never for anything pleasant Dr. Cassius McCormick didn’t summon his staff to praise them. He was a doctor in th* old tradition, slow, painstaking, cautious. He spent every moment of his day concentrating on the hospital. He expected no less from the staff. “What’s *»n your mind *" he asked now. No on* disturbed Dr. McCormick merely for a cozy little talk. She thought, “l’d better be diplomatic. If 1 tell him right off what J think of Mr. Zaylo’s case, he’ll have my head!” Aloud she said, “I hear your son has come home, Doctor McCormick." Behind the heavy, shell-rimmed glasses, his eyes remained cold. “Yes.” “I hope he’s all right." “He is suffering from malnulrition, of course. An Italian prison camp te not precisely the Ritz.

shrapnel and his shoulder healed badly.'* The ensuing silence made Gali uncomfortable. “Doctor McCor» mick,*’ she began hesitantly, “l*m worried ... about Mr. Zayle.” His bushy gray eyebrows shot up. “Mister who?’’ “Mr. Zayle. The man who nma the lunchroom down on the Square. He was in the clinic yesterday. Yon examined him—a small, harassedlooking man.*’ “Yes. I remember. What about him?" “Well. I don't believe he told you all of his symptoms. He's terribly afraid of being laughed at.”

“Thera is nothing wrong with him," Dr. McCormick said curtly. "I gave him a complete physical and neurological examination. Hi* symptom* are correlated with hit emotional worries. Give th* fellow a decent income, assusteate hte nagging wife, and th* indigestion will disappear for good.” He got up, testily implying the interview was over. "You have seen deasne of similar »*es." Yes, had. Cases similar oa the surface. But there was something alwul this one that had convinced her they must go a step farther. Poor Mr. Zayl* was more at ease with her than with the men doctors. Shs was sympathetic. Whenever rhe ate at his lunchroom, she listened to his worries. He couldn’t get a counterman, food priceo were going up but his customer* wouldn't even pay a nickel more for the blue plate. Trouble*, troubles, Doctor Bentes, eo much trouble It made blns dizzy. Sometimes ho couldn’t eves talk, he get eo upset! (To be continued)
