SYNOPSIS

DR.. Breeding, a wealthy and talented
middle aged surgeon. is possessed of seem.
ingly supernatural powers. Occasionally he
can wish for something extraordinary to
happen and have the wish fulfilled. Creed
ing meets Ira Terrell. a wealthy business
friend of his own age, who tells him he
loves his daughter Fancy and woulf like to
marry her. DR.. Breeding S pleased and
tells Terrell he has a clear field. Nancy.
however, is in love with Dan Carlisle, IN
assistant professor at the University who
has little means. They discuss marriage,
but decide to delay talking to her father
about it, Nancy. who has been playing ten
mis- with Dan that afternoon, tells her father
she had been playing with a Girl friend.
Breeding knows this is untrue and is secret

his eye falls on a marble statuette which
he dislikes. He picks it up. wishing he
could smash it to bits. Suddenly it is
snatched from his grasp as by an In
visible force and burst asunder. Mrs.
Breeding is greatly disturbed over the mys-
FERROUS destruction of the statuette. The
doctor reveals that Ira Terrell wants to
marry Nancy. On the way to a dinner
party a car cuts in front Of Greetings He
angrily expresses the wish that the driver
would break his neck. An instant later an

ter Mary Ann. DR.. Breeding is intrigued
by Mary Ann. who is surgical nurse. Mrs.

geist," "racketing. mischievous spirit.

Pronghorn Not Antelope;
Mixture of Three Others

The pronghorr is not true ante
lope; rather a cross between deer,
a goat and a giraffe, with a few
characteristics of each. biologists
say the Rocky Mountain goat is
more nearly true antelope.
The pronghorn is one OF the
swiftest animals on foot, declares
a writer in the Washington Star.
He clears prodigious lengths at a
bound, but is better broad jumper
than high jumper. It is said that
4-foot fence will retain him.
On their native plains pronghorns
rely upon fleetness and alertness to
protect them from enemies. The
warning signal for a pronghorn
stampede is the flash of some wary
leaders white tail.
The pronghorn shares this warn
ing signal with the cotton-tail rab-
bit.
Curiosity has cost the lives of
m any a pronghorn. The timid
beasts will pause in full flight to
examine All unexplained object.
Hunters often lure them within
range by waving rag on a stick
while lying concealed in the grass,

CHAPTER III

Next day Doctor Breeding was
not his usual self while in the op-
erating-room. Ordinarily he worked
without conscious effort, smoothly
and swiftly; but today each proceed
ure required a conscious concentra-
ton.
Doctor Mayhem, his assistant, OBJ
served this; and Miss Rimes, the
surgical nurse, likewise felt it, and
reacted to Doctor Greetings ten
sion by a definite failure in her
usual efficiency. Once when with
out looking toward her he reached
for dissecting scissors, she offered
him the knife instead, and the point
punctured his glove, so that he had
to change.
Such accidents had occurred be-
fore; but today Doctor Breeding
was in no case to meet the incident
equally and calmly. Fortunately
the skin was not even pricked; yet
many surgeon had lost a finger,
or a hand or an arm as easily as
this; and he told Miss Rimes so, in
dry, cutting tones. g
Even while he spoke, he realized
suddenly that he disliked Miss
Rimes intensely. She was an eff
cient nurse; but he recognized now
that she was dark, unlovey Wom-
an. He had never before thought
of her except as an automaton: and

CHAPTER II-Continued

He said quizzically: "Thats not
the same Judith Plank with whom
you played tennis this afternoon"
Judith" she repeated in aston
ishment, forgetting her mendacity;
and then suddenly she remem-
bered, and her cheeks were GRIM
son. She retreated from him, white
and startled; turned and ran up
the stairs. He had only meant to
tease her; but by her flight his al
most-forgotten anger was little re-
vived.
Nancy" he called. She stopped,
half turning. "You mustn't ever lie
to me, Nancy" he said sternly.
She hesitated, facing him doubt
fully; but after moment she de-
seconded to meet him ascending. On
the step above him, she said ap-
lpealingly:
''I'm sorry, Father. Ia girl"
She laughed in confused dismay.
''Well, girl instinctively wants to
keep some things secret" she con-
fessed happily.
+ And before he could speak, she
added: you're right. It wasn't
Judith, this afternoon. It was Dan
Carlisle. When you asked me who
was here, we'd only just found out
that we love each other! That was
why I-fibbed to you'll"
Doctor Breeding touched her
shoulder affectionately, guarding
lis tones. ''No reason why you
shouldn't tell me and your mother,
is there?" he asked quietly.
ct was afraid you wouldn't"
"Never be afraid of me, IIancy,"
he urged. "Youn always find me
on your side"
"Then you don't mind my-loving
DAM"
81 mind your being afraid of me"
He kissed her again, and he added
judicially: Gas for Dan, I hardly
know him, Nancy. Bring him
around more often. Let your moth
er and me get acquainted with that
young man." And he suggested:
CATER all, there's no hurry. You
and he will want to treasure this
new happiness in secret for a
while"
Then, before she could either as
sent or demur, he said: "Good
night. It's late, my dear"
She Rugged him warmly. "You're
sweet" she whispered. GOOD
night, Father!" And ran up the
stairs.
He followed more slowly; and in
his own room, the door closed be-
hind him, he stood fixed and rigid,
frowning. But in the end he dis
missed Nancy for the present from
his mind, and opened the volume
he had brought upstairs.

once as unhurried and as swift as
yours" And he was by her approx
al absurdly pleased.
They progressed by degrees from
acquaintance to friendship. Doctor
Breeding committed to her atten-
ton the matter of that man whose
death he and Mrs. Breeding had
witnessed.
ct saw the accident" he ex-
planned. "It-touched me. For no
particular reason, l am inclined to
do something for his family, if they
need help of any kind"
He was not blind to the approval
in her eyes as she promised to in
vestigate.
Subsequently, Mary Ann report
ed that the man was an automobile
mechanic; and he had been, on that
particular evening, in haste to come
to the hospital, where his wife was
about to be delivered.
"But the accident has its compen-
sations," she confessed. "He ap-
pears to have been a worthless sort.
He used to be a chauffeur in a nice
family; and the daughter Of the
house eloped with him. went to
see her, last night. She told me
that after they were married, when
her husband realized that her father
would not support them, he was
furious; and since then he has mis-
treated her abominably. Now that
he's dead, she's going home, for
given, happier than she could ever
have been as long as her husband
livedl"
Doctor Breeding found in this dis
covery a surprising satisfaction. He
had since the tragedy moved war;
ly, like a stranger in a great pow
er-plant who avoids contact with the
machinery about him, lest he loose
forces beyond his understanding and
control. But now, assured that this
man for whose death he felt re-
sponsible was better out of the world
than in it, a treacherous feeling
of infallibility took lodgment in his
mind.
Yet outwardly there was no
change in the routine of his days,
except that he saw more and more
of Mary Ann. He no longer dis
turbed himself so much about Man.
cy and Dan. Nancy had agreed
with him as to the wisdom of de-
laying for a while any formal an
nouncement of her engagement, and
he had always banked on his luck.
He did SO now. Terrell was seeing

MARY Ann is one of these indie
pendent young women, perfectly
sure of herself and of everything
else; resentful of-conventions."
"You make her sound dangerous
ly fascinating" he said, amused,
and touched her arm affectionate-
ly. you've always had the notion
some siren would carry me away,
Myra. In spite of the fact that none
has ever even triedl"
She smiled at him. Nonsense,
Ned. You know I never worry
about you, my deari"
"You never need to-" he assured
her gently.
So Mrs. Breeding was silenced;
but there was not long any doubt
in Doctor Greetings mind that
Mary Ann was competent. She was
like a second pair of hands. At
the operating-table she anticipated
his desires before they took shape
in his mind. She watched his fin
gers and the progress of the opera
ton; and when he was ready for
knife, scissors, snaps, retractors,
he found the desired implement in
her hand, awaiting his grasp. He
found the mornings work left him
fresh and free from fatigue; he
thought his own technique i'm
proved, and told her so.
''Miss Rimes was excellent" he
said. "But-I shall be tempted to
overwork you, even after her re-
turn. You must protect yourself
against my impositions.
She smiled and said: 81 never
saw anyone whose work was at
