But when the work was done, he
found himself wandering through the

SYNOPSIS

IL was two weeks since DR.. Chris
Arden completed his interneship and
started a practice Of his own. His
first mistake was to rent an office
and room from the shiftless Walters
family but he had felt sorry for mild,
inefficient Henry Walters and his
drab. listIess wife, Lily. They OBJ
viousIy needed the money. His SYM
pathy did not lessen when he thought
of their lazy daughter, Katie, and
ne'er-dO-weIl son, Dick. 1t is Sunday
morning, and Chris descends the stairs
to his office with jaunty step. No
one looking at him could know that
here was a new doctor ready to serve
a city which was seemingly unaware
of his existence. But Chris does have
one patient that morning. Beverly
Lewis, from the mansion on the hill,
brings her terrier and ap0lOgetically
asks him to remove a bone from the
dogs throat She leaves in a huff
when Chris refuses to accept lee.
Chris visits the hospital where he
trained. It's main support is Beverly's
father, StauntOn Lewis, local mag
nate and political power Many
changes had taken place since Nettie
Simpson became head of the nurses
training school years before and it
was hard for the old nurse to get used
to new methods. Occasionally, they
spoke of replacing her, but the hos
pitaI temporized. Her assistant was
brisk and modern. They let it go at
that.

what's wrong with them"
I'D rather hoped to find that out
for myself
go to it. Pretty soon you'll find
that YOU need us a lot more than we
need YOU, my lad"
Scott, if arrogant, was vaguely
uneasy lie had a dry spot on one of
his fingers, and he led Chris into the
daylight to look at it,
"Fellows abroad have been having
a lot of trouble" he said. Il don't
suppose it means anything, but it
heals and then dries and cracks again.
And I've got a family. Trouble is, we
don't know anything yet about the
rays"
He talked on ne1vously, and Chris
gathered that virility itself might be
involved as the result of unguarded
X-ray work
"I've got a family" Scott repeated.
q suppose I could lose a finger, but
my wife wants another baby. We
lost one last year. I'm-by God, some
times I'm frightened"
But why stick, Scott? If you've
got a burn already"
ooh, I'll stick. It's my job, and
know it. Besides, I need the money,
and the hospital needs the work.
Come in here. l want to show you
some plates"
He was the enthusiast again,
wrapped up in his speciality. He held
the bad finger stiff as he handled his
plates, but his face glowed land Chris
standing big and vigorous beside him,
thought of the woman who had lost
baby and now wanted another one
They're fine, Scott. But look here
have you talked it over with your
wife,"
ooh, forget that. I'm all right"
Chris could not forget it, however
as he started for home again that
morning. Where did a man owe his
duty? To his family when he haC
one, or to a profession eternally de-
manding, and eternally ungrateful
Chris did not realize it on that bright
day of May, nineteen hundred anc

park, fresh in spite of the city SCOT
and the benches peopled with young
lovers; but years later he was to bt

still clumsy but accomplishing flight, !
and with new machinery competing
with hand labor and inevitably win
ming the battle.
1t was to this world that Beverly
Lewis had been formally presented
the winter before; putting on her
sheer white undergaments and her
white Jaffeta petticoat, and then
stepping into the dress which had
been made for in Paris, long and fem
mime and youthful, and looking ana
Niously at her reflection in the long
mirror
She was excited and a little fright
ened This was the beginning of life.
and She knew very little about it. She
had four years Of boarding school,
could speak indifferent French, play
good tennis and golf, was amiable but
had her fathers temper at times, and
was all in all rather a lovely thing as
she surveyed herself in the cheval
glass that night under the admiring
eyes Of Martha, her mothers elderly
maid
I'm scared, Martha.
Nobody who looks like that needs
to be scared said Martha.
SO she had gone down the stairs,
her white draperies trailing behind
her The orchestra had come and
was tuning up at the back of the hall,
and the drawing room looked strange,
almost empty of furniture and banked
with flowers. For a moment she stood
there alone, a little frightened. This
was the beginning of life, and life
was like this, an empty room waiting
to be filled
Her flowers had gone to the hos
pital the next morning, and jaunty
young inferno had pinched off a rose
bud and worn it all day.
whats happened, Chris? CeIebra-
ting?"
Il made my debut last night. Didn't
you hear about it,"
Beverly had a successful season as
Staunton Lewis's daughter was sure
to have, and at the end of it was
heart-whole and extremely weary.On-
ly one man was carried over into the
spring, cheerful but insistent. His
name was Jarvis Ames, but he was
called Jerry. Jerry Ames. For years
to come she had only to close her
eyes to see him as he had been that
winter and spring, tall, blond, and de-
bonair, proposing to her with cheer
full regularity.

when he found an envelope ON his
desk, enclosing a ten-dollar bin and
the single word Thanks.
He got an envelope Of his own,
placed the bill in it, and sealed it..
Then, still stiff with resentment he
addressed and stamped it, and carried
it out 10 the mailboX Il was only
ON the way back that he suddenly
laughed. He was thinking of Beverly
Lewis when she received it the next
morning,
CuriousIy enough, that evening
marked red-letter day in Chris's
life, a day which had nothing to do
with the Walters or even with a girl
with stubborn chin. Between eight
and nine two patients came in. One
was the little seamstress from next
door, who had run her machine needle
through a finger
That's what I get for working on
Sunday, Doctor"
Nonsense! It's what you get for
being overtired and careless"
The other was a retired clergyman.
The clergy being exempt, the total re-
ceipts for the day were one dollar,
forced on him by Miss Sophia Barker,
dresmaking and tailoring.
However, he went upstairs that
night to his sagging brass bed with
considerable cheerfulness. Even the
fact that on his approach Katie slam
med her ballroom door with violence
did not daunt him. He was humming
a song as he took off his clothes and
hung them in the shallow closet next
to the fireplace. Then, in pajamas
and dressing gown, he started, tooth
brush in hand, to the bathroom.
Early as it was, the door to Dicks
room was already locked, and, still
humming, but with a CLEAN in his
eyes, he simply hauled off and gave
it a hard kick. The bolt flew off, and
the door opened. AS he suspected
Dick was not inside. With a grin he
picked up the bolt and put it in his
pocket Then he completed his sim
pie ablutions, went back to bed, and
armed with a book on the therepeu-
tics of diarrhea, prepared to read him
self to sleep.

liver a sermon in which he declared:
"Our primary problem now is not
the solution of the difficulties OF a

demands Of a present loyalty to the
divine and human laws Of our living
democracy. Fortified by faith in
God and the Nation, an aroused
American citizenry shall match and
over-match any vaunted prowess OF

the complete conservation that can

DR.. White delivered the sermon m
the absence of Bishop Joseph M.

Unremitting watchfulness was
called for by DR.. White, lest we
suffer from an atrophy Of divine
faith and a degeneration Of disci-

democracy itself a mere moribmd

mo democracy, including our own,
