SYNOPSIS BeMtchamp's leading family, the Howard Thayers, are to entertain Howard * middle-aged sister. Reyna, author and world traveller, whom the war forced home after being thirty years abroad. Lucienne, Howard’s attractive young daughter by a previous marriage, admires Aunt Reyna almost as much as ah* doe* her cousin, young Gail Benton, the only woman doctor in Beauchamp. Reyna learned from Agnes, Howard's domineering wife, and Lucienne, 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 the Thayer Hospital, and it was rumored that when Dr. Cassius McCormick, chief of staff, picked his new assistant, it would be either Gail or Dr. Ralph Kramer. At the hospital, Gail takes time out from her busy routine to voice doubts to austere Dr. McCormick concerning his diagnosis of the case of a Mr. Zayle, an obscure clinic patient.

CHAPTER FOUR “Doctor McCormick,*’ Gail said boldly, “I’d like to do an eucephalograph.” She waited tautly for the explosion. Dr. Ralph Kramer had made the original diagnosis of neuroses and Dr. McCormick himself had verified it- Did she, Dr. McCormick’s thunderous look demanded, question Au deeixiua? “I should suggest,’* be said icily, “that you rutrain your imagination." “Doctor McCormick, I’m not a scared medical student coming to you with an idea,** she said angrily. "This man ha* definite eymptoras! Bad headache*. Ha’* complained to me of an odd burning sensation on his tongue. I talked to his wife this morning, and she told me he has spells of forgetfulness.** Her vivid blue eye* flashed. "I hope you don’t object to an encaphalograph?” Dr. McCormick's face wax a* bleak as a winter dawn. "It is a pity the stubbornness in your nature eannot be channelized to better uae.” “That isn’t fair—" "Good afternoon, Gail." She left the room, trembling with anger. She realized that she had been impulsive, that she'd talked too much. Just at the tune when every young doctor at the hospital was scraping to Dr. McCormick, aware of the fact that he would soon choose a new assistant, she'd antagonised him. And he was not one to admire courage or boldness in others. He would never forgive her if she went ahead with the encephalograph. Nevertheless, she went to the house phone and issued an order for AL Thai, picking up her small black bag, she went out to her blue coupd which was parked at the corner. She drove toward the River Basin, tum-

ing into Lannock Drive. As she i opened the door of her small white stucco house, she saw that the wait-' ing room was filled Katie, her housekeeper and tyrannical master, moved to her, a bulk of a woman with frizzed red hair and a heavy faee the color of putty. "Had yer lunch yet, Doctor?'* she demanded. “No. Any calls?" “A couple. I wrote ’em down. Doctor, I’ll fix you a sandwich an* a cupa coffee.” "Well, make it just coffee. I've got to be back at the hospital at four-thirty.’’ "You c'n eat while yer first patient's undreasin*,” Katie said implacably. The food and hot drink revived Gail. Katie was really a godsend at times. The afternoon passed swiftly. She treated a woman for a chest cold, a child who was suffering from an allergy, an old man troubled by the exigencies of senility. It was almost five o’clock when she returned to the Thayer Hospital. The elevator let her off at the Women's Surgical. She hurried down the corridor. The smell of iodoform, faint yet deeply penetrating like some poison gas, hung in die air. Here, more than anywhere cis*, except Emergency, there was a sense of imminent battle with death.

A nurse’s aide proud of her criap blue and white uniform, passed by, holding a hot water bottle as if it were a cocktail shaker. She was followed by a second nurse, a short, thin, red-headed girl whose starched white skirt set off aa unfortunately thick pair of legs. Lily Lanahan was one of the best nurses on private duty. And, incidentally, the only one who openly resented Gail. “Good afternoon. Miss Lanahan." Gail ignored the hostile expression on the girl's face. "Do you mis* Lucienne Thayer now that she has gone home?” "I miss her very much,” Lily Lsnahan said politely. But obviously she didn’t mean it Her face tightened rebelliously. Why, she looks as if she hates Lucienne, Gail thought. Miss Lanshsn went on. and Gafl turned into the ward. “How are my old ladies behaving?” she asked the pretty nurse at the desk.

“Nicely," the nurse answered, following Gail down the aisle between beds. Though in a hurry, Gad stopped to talk with Mrs. Michaelson in Bed Three. Intense aggravation over a wild, irresponsible non had given Mrs. Michaelson a case of gastric ulcers. "Your worries are over now," Gail assured her. “Uncle Bam will take care of Um. And do a good job, too!” She moved oa to Miss Rourke, the spry, witty spinster whose emaciated body had been distorted by an enormous tumor. "You’ll need a good long rest before you go back to the library," she eaid. “You’re scheduled for a month in th* country."

Embarrassed by Miss Rourke's profuse gratitude, Gai) turned to old Mrs. Spartalmi. Now, there was a woman for you! A fierce, proud old matriarch, who ruled her outsized family with an iron hand. "How's it going?” Gail asked warmly. Two shrewd old eyes regarded her approvingly. "Doctor, my daughter Maria, she ask when I go home?” "Walking out on me, are you?” “Never.” A gnarled old hand moved slowly across the eoven to touch Gail's smooth, competent fingers. "Always I remember you. What you do for me, for my family. How can we pay you, doctor?” Gail’s eyes twinkled. “Just think of me the next time Maria makes a batch of pizza. I have a friend who’s crazy about it!” A reminiscent smile curved her attractive mouth. It was funny, really. Burke Gtntry, who was such a conservatjv* young man, with only a auspicious tolerance for foreign ways, was crazy about pizza and red wine. . .. Burke. I must call him this very minutal Hastily she finished her rounds. But her dash to the public telephone booth was interrupted by Amo* Nilas, the superintendent of the hospital. Mr. Niles was standing near the wall plaque commemorating the World War I dead. Ha was a short, plump man, given to blue serge suits and somber tie*. From ma bald head to his stubby feet, he was made up of a series of ellipses. Th* staff called him the Sugarcoeted Lagree, and there was nothing affectionate about the term. "Ok* Doctor Benton!” he called after her. “You are just the person I want!" She was in for it. Mr. Nile* never sought bar, except to ask a favor. Mine mouths after Pearl Harbor saw the staff of the Thayer hospital badly depleted. More than half of Beauchamp’s physicians had been called to service, among th*in Dr. Cassius McCormick's asatsteni. Gail was often asked to do more than her share, and sb* did it gladly. But Mr. Niles seemed nlway* to waylay her at inopportune tiraaa.

"Doctor Benton, wo are short at the Rad Cross blood bank. Will you help us out?" "I thought it was Doctor Ralph Kramer's turn today," she said. Kramer is busy,’ Mr. Nile* said smoothly, “doing a chons for Doctor McCormick.” So that was it Dr. Ralph Kramer meant to make himself indispem. sable to Dr. McCormick, so whea the older man made his choice of ap assistant.... "Very well," aha said, *TU go upstairs right away.’ The half-hour rest she’d bees counting oa was gone. Theta wouldn't be time for a catnap. Juafi a rush to get dressed. Burke, darling, don’t be anpy with ma. It’s just one as those days. (To be continued)
