Mel; God knows I was, to do what 1

"But what do you want me to do?"
I asked when he looked up.

"You don't mean that-?"
"Just that" replied Tom, reading
the question in my eyes. "You are a

his eyes.
I sat there stunned for a moment.
The confession of my friend was
hardly what I had expected of the

Richmond planet., 1930-11-22

I spent in Harlem. An eventful night
that, but one that has brought me
happiness and a new lease on life.
The physicians had given me up.
Hard work day and night in medical
school had taken its toll in my first
year of practice in a spotted lung. I
was told + could live but a few months
at the terrific pace that New York
sets. There was but n hope, and
that was in nature itself. So I de-
termined to come away, forsake my
practice, forget the hum-drum exist
ence in the great metropolis and
commune with mother earth her
self.
My plans I kept secret and had just
completed my packing, preparatory
to leaving, when an urgent call took
me to the home of Tom Crane, my
old boyhood friend and classmate in
college.
The moment I looked into his anx-
ious face, as he opened the door OF
his apartment on 145th Street, I
knew he was baffled by some grave
problem. He waved me to a chair
in his den and slumped into a seat
close at hand, only after he had
taken every precaution to see that
the door was securely locked and
there were no eavesdroppers with
out.

In the morning, 1 am leaving all that
I have striyen for these many years
I am going out in the open to try
to win back the thing I have most
neglected, my health. I am going out

"Then, you will let that child come
into the world nameless, break my
wife's heart and probably send her
back to her bed, ruin my career, and
call that friendship"
His question stumped me. I waited
moment to think. Pushing ny
hands deep into my pockets, I paced
around the room. My eyes fell upon
a picture of a girl. Long black curls
dangled around a head of peach
blown brown, laughing eyes that
radiated mischievousness, and lips
curved into a smile that displayed an
even row of pearly white teeth.
