WHO'S THERE?"

SYNOPSIS. - Nurses In the
Southern hospital at Avonmouth
are angered by the insolent
treatment accorded them by DIR.
John Lancaster, head of the in
stitution, and there is a general
feeling of unrest, into which
Joan Wentworth, probationary
nurse, is drawn. Doctor Lam
caster is performing a difficult
operation, for which he has won
fame Joan. with other nurses,
is in attendance She is upset,
through no fault of her own, and
makes a trivial blunder at a crit
ical moment. The patient dies
and Doctor Lancaster accuses
her of clumsiness. She is sus-
pended, the action meaning the
end of her hope of a career as
nurse. Without relatives or
friends, and desperate, Joan,
urged by her landlady, goes to
Doctor Lancaster's Office to ask
him to overlook her blunder and
reinstate her. She oVerhears q
violent alteration between Doc
tor Lancaster and other men she
does not see. Joan is struck by
the favorable change In the APP
pearance and demeanor of the
doctor, recalling that at times in
the hospital he has been gentle
and thoughtful and at others SUI
percilious and bullying. He tells
her he can do nothing for her at
the hospital, but offers her a DO
sition in a nursing institution in
taIl l. L
be of great assistance" to him.
A man named Myers demands
she tell him what the doctor had
said to her. She denies him the
information, and he covertly
threatens her. At the institu-
ton, which is owned by Doctor
Lancaster, Joan finds Myers. He
tells her he is the secretary. She
instinctively dislikes and fears
him. The only patient at the
institute is a Mrs. Dana, de-
mented but harmless. Joan is
vaguely uneasy, feeling that
there Is some mystery about the
place. Doctor Lancaster arrives.
Joan accuses him of deceiving
her, declaring her intention of
leaving. He tells her he is the
patient who needs her, saying he
wants help in big fight" but
makes no further explanation.
She decides to stay. Evidently
Doctor Lancaster is afraid of
Myers. Joan discovers that the
doctor Is victim of the NOR
phine habit. Joan takes charge
of him, helping him to overcome
temporarily his craving for the
drug. Myers accuses her of
"meddling," but she refuses to
leave or to give up her care of
Lancaster. Mrs. Fraser, the
matron. admits all at the insti-
tuition are afraid OF Myers, but
will not say why. She begs Joan
to save the doctor" Joan in a
measure succeeds in freeing Lam
caster from his craving for
drugs.

Chapter VII

Joan had had supper with Lancas-
ter, and it was night, and once more
the fight was raging.
She had sat on the veranda with
him, had talked with him, had seen
the better soul of the man rise to the
surface as he struggled with the NOR
phine devil; then she had given him
his half dose again, and, as his
strength revived and the agony de-
parted, she had seen the facile, lying
spirit enter into him.
He was lying, wrapped in his dress
ing gown, upon his bed, and she sat
at his side, at grips with the devil In
him that clamored for it's victims
body, that it might possess it entirely,
as surely devil as any spirit of evil,
though its shrine was a little glass
bottle holding few drops of fluid
She was fighting for Lancaster,
lighting for the better Lancaster again,
and he was writhing in torment and
pleading with her to go, to leave him
to his fate, since the suffering was
lntolerable and subsection preferable
There was an hour of hideous
battle, but somehow she managed to
keep him quiet till midnight. And,
seated beside him, watching him, Joan
came to the conclusion that this was
one of those strange cases of double
personality of which she had read in
medical books. 1t was impossible to
reconcile this Lancaster in any way
with the man whom she had seen mo-

mentarily at the hospital, and with
the tyrant of the operating room. For
that man was essentially base and
ignoble, and this man was honor and
truth, when the morphine fiend re-
tired, baffled for space, and under
that pitiful load of shame she sensed
the cleanness of the mans soul and
its integrity.
Somehow she held his devil at bay
until midnight, and then, with Sec
ond victory to his credit, he stretched
out his arm for the hypodermic. Then
Joan saw the look of contentment
come into his face, heard the satisfied
sigh-and there was the old Lancaster
before her, shifty, furtive and false.
No, not altogether. for something OF
that victory remained with him, the
promise of renewed manhood; the
morphine devil was losing its grip.
Ground had been won. 1t should
never be ceded. Joan swore that as
she watched by the bedside.
Doctor Lancaster, you have prom
ised me to sleep till SIX" she said.
Can l trust you?"
"How can you doubt my word, Miss
Wentworth" asked Lancaster, with
an affectation of surprise. 'Of course
you can. You know, am not regu-
lar user of drugs. / have been over
worked, and 1 took morphine to make
me sleep, and somehow it got hold OF
me. l think l must be unusually sus-
ceptible to the drug"
The old lie of the stupid drug devil!
But Joan had the storeroom key, and
she knew that it would require ham,
mer or ak to break down the strong
door. And she would wake and hear
him, and fight again as she had fought
that morning.
''Then l am going to bed till SIX"
she said.
"But. Miss Wentworth" he protest

The woman, looking askance at N.Y.

"Why, Miss Wentworth, never or

see. Miss Wentworth"
Until you do" interposed Joan
bluntly, 81 shall continue the treat
ment as learned it in Doctor Lancas-
ter's hospital at Avonmouth. And If
the storeroom is opened by anyone
but myself shall take legal action to
protect Doctor Lancaster's interests"
Miss Wentworth !" cried Myers,
you are making a tragedy where none
exists. Nobody wants to harm the
doctor. We all have one sole thought,
to help him. Don't we, doctor?" he
continued, addressing Lancaster.
You are all-very kind to me-" Ian
caster mumbled.
There, you seer said Myers, turn
Ing toward Joan egain. "Tbere may
exist differences of opinion" he con-
tinued in a facile manner, "and maybe
I've expressed myself too forcibly. But
we're al; at one in wishing the doctor
to get well as quickly as he can"
He was almost fawning now, but
Joan remained inflexible. She knew

tension that was unfolding her she
would become hysterical.
The group dispersed. Myers fol-
lowed the girl out upon the veranda
and stood for a long time near the
door, watching her as she sat at the
farther end, trying to compose herself.
At last he came up to her.
See here, Miss Wentworth" he
began imDetuously; 1--WE come to you
