CHAPTER ~
Not only was Kenneth Lang's arm
broken. his shoulder was dislocated.
ut is fortunate that the accident
is to the left instead of the right
arm" he heard DIR. Grant remark to
the young physician who finally ar
rived to assist him. Its going to be
nasty kind of job to set the bone
a..d get that shoulder back into
place.
1t was worse than that, thought
the poor sufferer later, when, with
out an anaesthetic, he submitted to
the necessary jerking and pushing.
He was sure that, had he been in
Saxville, his physician would have
given him something to dull the
agony caused by the none-too-tender
manipulation.
There was-as there always is I'M
der such conditions-one point at
which the victim felt he could not
stand another moment of torture.
Samuel Grant knew when this in
slant came

vised IF you think it will make
you feel better, fire away
But Kenneth did not fire away"
All through the moments of agony
he WAS aware that Ruth Grant was
in the room obeying her fathers
low-voiced instructions.
She was evidently in the habit OF
helping her parent Could she have
become Injured to the sight of suf-
ferng?
But when the last bandage was
adjusted and she moved into the
patients range of vision, his silent
question was answered.
The girl was deathly pale, and, as
her eyes met his, he saw that they

Straight to Bed
"And now we are going to get you
into bed and give you something to
make you sleep" Grant said.
This meant more suffering, but 1t
must be endured. Lang tried to ex-
press his thanks for the offer of q
room in this house, but his sentence
ended in a muffled groan.
"Shut up!' Samuel Grant COM
manded good naturally. "Save your
breath! You'll need it when you're
dying. I guess you wish that time
was here now if you have to go
through much more of what you've
had during the past hour. But the
worst will soon be over. DR.. Smith
and l will help you upstairs Ruth
has your room all ready for you"
1t was large shaded room at the
rear of the house, Lang noticed, as,
supported on either side by his host
and the young Southold doctor, he
entered it. A wide white bed was

fully, how goes it now? The maui
sea getting less?"
Yes. it is. Until now the patient
had not noticed that he felt less sick
than before his little nap. But the
pains in my arm and shoulder are
pretty bad"
That's putting II mildly, l guess
the physician said. II know how
badly that arm hurts. II was a nasty

Il don't mean the pain only" Ken
meth explained, although talking
seemed to increase his suffering.
i mean when will / be able to go

The physician was silent for
minute. Then he answered bluntly:
Il was in hopes you'd not want to
