I'd tell you. It wasn't much. He's

He didn't say you were detached but
that was the general idea. You've got

at any rate"
"Oh. What else?"

I discussed you with that fat blighter,

1T might be-" Joan reflected. II
don't think things have been very
prosperous around here. Mother
doesn't talk much, ever. Neither does
dad. They've both been nice to me
since I came back, but feel like q
stranger.
She tried to turn away the idea
lightly, but Deeds was not deceived
He believed that he was beginning
to understand. Joan's attitude was
not the result of her own misfortunes
or -. what had been worrying him
today an unhappy affair. AT
least that was not the only cause
She had come home to find herself
a misfit, sort of. Enough to give
anybody the glooms. This comforting
solution developed a sudden flaw. He
was compelled to give it voice.
We were speaking of the Elledge
savant. Does he barge into the
home picture? With your father,
mean"
That's what I was coming to. Yes,
he does. I have the feeling that
there's something between those
two"
Sure of that?" Deeds was think

to Jere Kendall. Rather impossible. y
That was the way the doctor de-
scribed their host.
That's what worries me-" Joar

little to do with each other. But

I'm not so sure"

What do you think Of DR.. John?'

Maybe I'm wrong. Old Sloan seems
to be nursing perpetual crouch

me as being queer. It didn't help
much when he told me something
about his brother and himself. Neither

Did he tell you anything about his

Deeds favored his companion with a
startled glance. but Joan was looking
straight ahead; her expression told
him nothing.

mean. and couldn't say it. Some
thing 70 do with germs, guess"
Did he tell you much about DR..

Talked about him mostly. I asked
how come he brought his brother
down 20 the water. in view Of what had
happened. He said II was an expert
ment, Something like the hair of the
dog being good for the bite you
know. Hes trying to get the old boy

thinks it will kill or cure him"
That is odd" Joan offered musing-
ly. Who else did he talk about"
You" The answer slipped out AL
most before Deeds Was aware of it.
I'm sorry" he said quickly. THAT
wasn't very good FORM
1T wasn't good form for me to
ask. But it's what wanted to know.
Do you mind telling me?'
"oh. he Just mentioned you," Deeds
evaded. Il think he merely wanted
to let me know I had a rival" he
added with grin. But refuse to be
downhearted in spite Of every
thing"
Joan gave no evidence of being i'm
pressed by that suggestion. Instead,
she said soberly:
I've talked with him only few
times. I think he's queer too.
