 Where had this fellow known him? Rio? Buenos Aires? Chicago? A hectic patch that. Profitable but rather dangerous. The gang-a tough crowd!
 And he had brought more to the treasury by Kidnapping for ransom than any of them; though Spider Schlitz had certainly run them a good line in blackmail, and Chink Dorson in the girl-traffic, with the help of Louie the Lady and Frisco Fanny. Jimmy had been their sure defense against all rivals and squealing victims.
 Yes, Kidnapping had been a great game while it lasted, and the gang had him to thank for the biggest haul Of all-the St. Clair diamonds.
 Pure bad luck that they had been pinched and sent-up for a few years just when they had brought off the splendid St. Clair coup. However, he had got out in time to nobble Schlitz's and Dorson's shares of the diamonds, and his own before skipping across the Atlantic-England being safe for him again, and America un- healthy.
 Lucky that he had never got into any public trouble in England, or , he'd have been struck off the Med ical Register. Could this fellow have come from the original black mail gang from whom he had flec to America in the first place? Nc

Had he been one of the Missen outfit? He could not place him.
 In fraction of a second Dr. Charters saw his past, it's darkest corners illuminated. In none of them could he fin d this man, though he had seen his face or por- trait before.
 From the days of his youth, as medical student in London, to those of his fame as the successful physician of Harley Street and The Monastery Nursing Home he re- viewed his life.
 Childhood His feebly-nagging shrewish mother; his drunken and disreputable father, a genius of great intellect and little virtue; now rich, now poor.
 He could hear him now:
 An, my boy, there's only two ways of making real money, patent medicine and patent religion. Look e Bumpers Pills-bread crumbs and calcmel. A farthing's worth for half-a-crown. Look at the Prophet Stone and his Church. Why Stone must have made a mil lion out of the books alone"

moved, nor did his expression change by a hairs breadth as he looked at the clean-shaven, grey eyed face before him.
 Half-hung Simonl
 His mind leapt back over the years. and he saw himself seated astride a horse, his hands bound one end of rope noosed about his neck, the other tied to a branch of the big tree beneath which he waited for death, and the Missen crowd waited to see him die. He could see their faces now, and old Buck Wilton, the girls father, fin gering the trigger while the boys bade Buck not to be a fool and a spoil-sport. He could hear Chuck Masters voice:
 You don wanna shoot the skunk, Buck
 Sure thing you don't Not till he's danglin'," Shorty Coghlan had shouted. Finally, as the sun set, after what seemed hours of dreadful torture, they had all clear ed off.
 How often had he wakened from dreams of sitting bound upon a restless horse; entreating, cajoling, carressing with his voice, praying alternately to his horse, and to his God; and of the agony, mental and physical, when it had taken che step forward, and then anoth- CT, until the rope was choking, him, forcing him to lean back at an ag- onizing angle, and wriggle his body toward the horses crupper.
 How often in his dreams had he fallen with terrific crash of the breaking bough that had saved his l life.
 The Devil had been watching over his own when Chuck Masters had flung the rope over that rotten bough.
 Half-hung Simon! Dr. Charters eyes narrowed yet further as he stared at the face of the man who sat leering triumph lantly.

SYNOPSIS: Pretty Marjorie LauderdeiPs illness mystifies her urcle when he and his wife call to sec her at Dr. Charters hurting home. Having just ex- plainod to the physician that she had never been i'll until she moved to her uncle's house, she protested that Dr. MacAdoo's medicine has been making her worse and asks that Dr. Stud Icy be given her case. Char tcrs somewhat sharply advises her that he himself has taken charge of her. While Mir. James, Charters confidant, escorts the uncle through the grounds, the aunt interviews Charters, pass ing him a note and telling him that Marjorie's twenty-first biIthday is September first. The Lauderdells greet their niece kindly, but refuse consent for her to leave the institution until she hag improved. Short ly after, Charters locks up from his desk to see scowling stranger, who addresses him as "Half-hung" Simon.
