BEGIN HERE TO-DAY
Forces are at work that threat
en- the happiness of lovely Dana
Stanley and her attractive hus-
band, DR.. Scott Stanley, a strug-
CLING young physician. !
Dana's grandmother, who had
hoped she would marry rich Ron
aid Moore, is anxious for the mar
riagc to 60 on the rocks. Paula
Long, who has been hopelessly in
love with Scott for years, is also
eager for the marriage to fail.
Meanwhile. Dana's half-sister'
Nancy, is in love with Ronald.
Knowing he loves Dana, she
masks her feeling behind an an
tagonistic attitude.
Paula goes to Scott's office and
asks him to prescribe for severe
headache. Scott is puzzled by
faula's hysterical description of
her suffering.
Paula tells Dana that Scott had
luncheon with her that day. Dana
and Scott almost quarrel when
she questions him about Paula.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XVII
Dana had heard so much about
the new office that it was impos-
sible not to feel curious and ex-
cited, but she had decided to wait
until Scott was settled before
paying him a visit. 1t didn't seem
dlgnified to rush down the first
thing, as though she weren't ac-
customed to nice offices.
Several weeks after Scott took
the new quarters she entered lei
surely. The lobby was well-filled.
An extremely busy-looking young
woman sat at a mahogany desk.
as Dr.. Stanley in?"
The young woman, who was evil
IDENTIFY looking up case history in
the files near the desk, scarcely
glanced up.
There are several ahead Of
you," she said. "Wiil you waltz"
"I'll come back Dana answer
ed.
At the door she turned. She had
come downtown for this particular
purpose. Perhaps it wouldn't be
very long before Scott could see
her.
The girl at the desk had evil
IDENTIFY forgotten Dana. She was
giving some information to a man
and woman who had just come in.
This office assistant had an alb
rupt manner. She wasn't at all
like Miss Lee, who was sweet and
gracious, and who had married.
Dana thought it must be trying,
sitting there long hours, watching
sick people come and go. Hearing
people complain. 1t wasn't a very
cheerful occupation for a girl.
Dana crossed to a seat near the
desk and picked up a discarded
magazine. The girl was still talk
ing to the man and woman. The
telephone interrupted and she an
swered briskly. 81 did deliver your
message, Miss Long. | expect he's
been too busy to call. I'm sorry"
She hung up the receiver vi
ciously. Dana's startled face, close
by, came within her range, of Vi
sion. Instantly, the frown was
erased and the girl smiled, muir
muring alphabetically.
ST try to be patient, but this
particular person is so trying. Al
ways calling when there's no good
reason for it. And she never can
understand why a doctor is too
busy to talk to her."
II don't believe l have your
name," the girl went on. weren't
you waiting to see one of the doc
tors?"
GIVE decided not to wait" Dana
said.
She was a little ashamed of her
resentment. Of course Scott
couldn't help Paula calling him.
Or could he? Couldn't he make it
clear that social calls were out
during office hours? -,
Doubtless Paula was annoyed
because they had dropped out OF
everything. Whatever the reason,
Dana didn't like Paula tagging on
to Scott. She didn't like the way
the office girl had talked about
paula calling when she had no
good reason for calling. Always
calling. The girl hadn't mentioned
the doctors name. But Miss Long
always calling couldn't be anybody
else but aula. -,
81 don't think she's dangerous"
Dana unused, walking rapidly.
"Maybe she is. Maybe she is more
dangerous than I think. But sun
she strikes me as rather pat;he;!lc
person. She's so restless and ois-
satisfied"
Dana succeeded in putting Paula
out of her mind. She was in a
healthy glow from the walk in the
brisk weather, and her eyes were
sparkling. An automobile swerVed
from the traffic, pulled close to
the curb. Loa,
Jorimer were in the car. Grace
said "Why, Dana Stanley, don't
tell rs YOU are walking for eXer-
ciseI There isn't any excuse with
that slim figure of yours"
Dana laughed. 'No, Pm just a
miser. | was walking to save
nickel" ,,,,,o,
"Don't tell us that either. When
YOUR husband has joined that
money-getting group of medlcs
