Max had rallied WELL and things
looked bright for him. His patient
did not need him, but X. was anxious
to find Joe; so he telephoned the gas
Office and got day off.
For the present, at least, KS re-
yealed identity was safe. Hospitals
keep their secrets well. And 1t Is
doubtful If the Street would have
been greatly concerned even had 1t
known. It had never heard Of Ed
wardes, of the Edwardes clinic, or the
Edwardes operation. Its medical
knowledge comprised the two Wilson's
and the osteopath around the corner.
When, as would happen soon, 1t learned
of Max Wilson's injury, 1t would be
more concerned with his chances of
recovery than with the manner Of 1t.
That was as 1t should be.
But Joe's affair with Sidney had
been the talk of the neighborhood. If
the boy disappeared, a scandal would
be inevitable. Twenty people had
seen him at Schwitter's and would
know him again.
To save Joe. then, was KS first
care.
At first 1t seemed as II the boy had
frustrated him. He had not been home
all night. Christine. waylaylng X. In
the little hall, told him that.
"Mrs. Drummond was here" she
said. "She Is almost frantic. She says
Joe has not been home all night. She
says he looks up to you, and she
thought If you could find him and
would talk to him"
"Joe was with me last night. We
had supper at the White Springs ho-
tel. Tell Mrs. Drummond he was in
good spirits, and that she's not to
worry. feel sure she will hear from
him today. Something went wrong
with his car, perhaps, after he left
me-"
He bathed and shaved hurrledly.
Katie brought his coffee to his room,
and he drank 1t standing. As he went
down the Street. he saw Mrs. Nc
Kee In her doorway, with little knot
of people around her. The Street
was getting the nights news.
He rented car at local garage,
and drove himself out into the coun-
try. He was not minded to have any
eyes on him that day. He went 10
