The market didn't open until after

that were real. Her father and DR..
Bill, she knew. had been in a seventh
heaven. with skilled, exacting work to
do, and with famous surgeon watch
ing-and approving!
She heard an ambulance scream to
a stop in the driveway. and went on
arranging the bed room. They would
take the pilot and Mr.. Jones away, and
she realized that she would be glad
to see Jones 60. He hadn't said or
done anything out of the way, but his
presence made her feel uneasy
She supposed that DR.. McCracken
would go soon, too. and was glad Mr..
Marlowe would be left behind, for she
liked him.
And he will be just as good as new
very soon," she thought happily
thanks to Bills Skill"
The thought that DR.. Bill could do
things like that thrilled her, though
she scowled over bis refusal to 20 to
New York. God job with good pay
and big future" Dr. McCracken had
said. And Bill-the big idiot-had said
mol just like that.
She heard footsteps in the corridor,
the measured beat of men carrying a
stretcher. She swung the door open
watched them carry Mr.. Marlowe IN
and pls"e him gently on the bed. Dr.
Bill followed them and examined the
patient again, nodding his satisfaction
With the mans condition
DR.. Dougal McCracken went to
washington with the ambulance. for
he had an operation to perform there
the following day. He told them he
would drive out the following evening
Curtis Marlowe is an old friend OF
mine he told them just before he
left. Take good care of him.a He
smiled at Bill then. You'll receive
your check through me, doctor"
Then the telephone began ringing:
a little later reporters came from
Washington and Baltimore; and Joyce
began learning things about the pa
tient. 1t seemed that he was famous in
his way as Dr.. McCracken. He was one
of the 10 richest men in the United
States and the reporters told tales
about him that filled her with awe.
The nurses arrived an hour later
and Joyce's time was taken up with
the telephone and answering the front
door. DR.. Bill stayed for supper and
he looked, Joyce thought, tired, but
definitely pleased.
He amused JOyce-and irrjtated her
She cornered him in the living room
after supper
You are fool, Bill Elliott" she
told him without preamble.
He didn't think it unlikely. Stub
born, too" he smiled.
Joyce nodded shortly. "A stub
