"Im going to let it go to court.
I'm going to fight it,"
"iou can't do that, Reyna! You'll
get yourself into a mess-youW I'M
plicate all of us"
"You haven't a thing to worry
about, Gail. Let Beauchamp know
what a smart young doctor you
are!"
"Well, I hope it comes out all
right" Gail said unhappily. "Mean-
while, come in for that blood count,
will you?"
Good heavens, how many do l
need?"
Just one more. I want to keep
an eye on you. You had pretty big
doses of the drug"
Gail hung up and returned to her
bedroom to dress. Her previous
pleasant anticipation was gone.
What did it matter if she did have
a nice day? The shadow of Reyna's
distorted revenge hung over her
head.
The cat Belisha was curled on
her pillow, purring c~ontentedly.
"Scram!" she ordered and let him
out into the garden. The phone
rang.
But it was not an emergency as
she feared. One of Mrs. Spartalini's
innumerable grandchildren was call.

and spaghetti and wine today, ard

"Ill be there later in the after
noon," Gail promised. But not with
the young mar who liked pi1za, she
thought.
Stephen arrived shortly in his
fathers big ar. He came up the
walk eagerly.
They were dressed almost identi-
cally: gray Stacks, and white shirts.
He wore a beige cashmere sweater,
and she carried a short, scarlet fam
mel jacket.

provingly. "Sort of a George Wash

Yes. 1t was my ho~usekeeper's

She indicated the hamper of food
and a steamer blanket and he car
ried them down to the car.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

On her way back to the hall to
fcioin Burke, Gail was stopped by
Inyna Thayer, who called to her
from the head of the stairs. Her
black eyes yer swapping with fury.

rasping voice, "Cassius McCor-
m.ck,'
Slowly DR.. Mccormick came over,
until he was just below her. His
long FL Greco face was expression
,ess, his tone formal. Eyes. Reyna?"
Reyna leaned on the rail. In the
soft light descending from the crys-
tai chandelier, her face was distort-
ed with anger. THAT outrageous
bill you sent me. A thousand dol
lars-tor Whdt?'
THAT is my price for a consulta-
ton" he answered coldly.
"A consultation" Regina
screamed. you'd have killed me if
it hadn't been for Gail Benton!"
The crowd in the drawing room
caught the echo of her high voice
and moved toward the hall, to
listen.
"Reyna," DR.. Mccormick said,
"you are a greater fool now than
you we're years ago. l have sent
you a bill. You will pay it."
Seeing these two middle-aged peo-
pie who had once loved each other,
their faces now blighted by hate,
Gail thought wildly: 1t isn't her i'll
ness. it isn't the bill. It's an excuse
to dig up the Ratchet and slaugh-
ter each other!
II uon't pay i'll" Reyna shouted.
"Your diagnosis wasn't right any
way!"
Then she warmed to her subject.

tdence in her. The proof of her abil-
ity is this, Cassius. She ignored
your orders, she treated me her
own way with my permission. That's
why | got well.'
Dr.. Mccormick turned his chill
gaze on Gail. She wanted to cry:
Reyna doesn't understand, Doc
tor
Reyna looked down at her audi
ence and her voice went higher. She
was paying Cassius Mccormick back
for all her pain and humiliation of
thirty years ago, and enjoying it.
Medicines a pretty good racket,
isn't it? But this time"
Agnes pushed her way through
the crowd. The newspaper photog-
rapher followed her until Stephen
intervened and took the mar to the
door. But not before Agnes pierre

To Calls relief, Howard showed
up. He spoke quietly to Reyna,

ingly as n would to a cantanker-
Gus child. Finally, he persuaded her
to return upstairs. The party dis
solved IN a buzz of conversation
that promised ample gossip in
Beauchamp tomorrow.
Helping Gail into his car. Burke
asked, What's wrong with the old
girl??"
She's just prejudiced," Gail said.
She explained the situation briefly.
Burke pulled the rim of his brown
felt over his tanned forehead. His
blue eyes regarded her quizzicallv.
When they reached her house he
asked: what about the movies this
EVENING"
"Im sorry, I've got a dozen
Chores" she replied.
"Okay, l don't believe in inter-
fering with my girls professional
life His lips found her soft
cheek, her mouth. After a moment
he said, I'm sorry | won't see you
tomorrow"
"Im used to it," she answered
wryly.
Burke was never free on Sunday.
That was the day he devoted to his
mother. Usually he played golf in
the morning, came home for a mid
day meal, took his mother to the
movies in the evening.
Sunday was a perfect day. The
sun made a golden foodlight for the
blue sky. The air was warm with
Indian summer haze.
Gail padded into the kitchen and
had a cup Of coffee. mine o'clock"
She yawned, stretching her arm. 81

"You needed it," Kate said tartlv.
"As if your own patients amt

that scum in Springdale."

black hair oven her ears, retied the
belt of her white pajamas, "where's
your tolerance?'
Right where it should be! But |
use it only n c in a while" Katie
lined the picnic hamper with a fresh
linen cloth, put in thin bread-and-
butter sandwiches, the roasted
chicken, the luscious, walnut-stud-
ded cake.
Gail went into the pantry to tele-
phone. 1t took a few moments be-
fore she was connected with Reyna
Thayer. Flows everything, Rey-
na?' she asked brightly.
"Terrible,' Reyna reported cheer
fully. you know how Agnes loathes
any suggestion of a scandal, unless
she herself has instigated it. And
she's worried for fear Cassius Nc
Cormick will cut her dead"
"He won't do that" Gail said
soothingly. you can patch things
up"
ooh I can, can l! Well, l won't.
He's going to sue me, Gail. He told
Agnes that before he left last
night"
"Oh, Reyna, mol"
"Yes!" She chuckled. "Aud is he
going to be sorry!"

All Conventions Banned By U. 5. Agency For Next
 12 To IS Months

WASHlNCTON-Union conven- tiOns are out for 1945 and all other conventions, too, the office of defense transportation declared this week.
 Conventions of any kind, involving more than 50 people that need trans portation to the convention site, are out of the question for the next l2 to Is months, according to ODT. The next 12-15 months, ODT de- clared, will mean the tightest trans portation situation the nation has ever known.
 One of the chief reasons for the expected transportation crisis. it was said, will be the "re-depIoy- ment" of U. 5. troops from the European zone to the Pacific. Sup- plies, planes, ammunition, artiI- lery for the final battle against Japan will take up every available bit of train space.

 Unions representing Federal em- ployeS sought a larger overall in crease, but conceded that they are thankful for "half a loaf" However, they hope to persuade the House to be bit more generous, particularly in granting time and one-half pay for overtime. The Senate measure works out to only 1/l2 pay for overtime.
 Earlier unions representing pos- tai workers scored smashing vic tory in the House when that body. with only one dissenting vote, ap- proved a bill granting them $4OO a year raises, time and one-half pay for overtime, reclassificatiOns to correct inequities and night shift differentials. The aggregate gains were estimated at $l5O,OOO,OOO a year.
 Postal workers had particularly good case for an adjustment, since they haven't received general salary increases in almost 20 years. Besides, the $400 raises are not "net." They replace $500 wartime bonuses which have been paid in the last few years.

Wendell Berge Charges Monopolists Sacrifice Sick
 And Disabled To Profits

Members of subcommittee of the House Labor Committee who are in- vestigating the plight of millions of physically, handicapped in this coun- try were aroused this week by the testimony of Wendell Berge, assistant attorney general, who told of monop- oly control of medicines and prepara- tions vital to health.
 Berge, who is in charge of the antitrust division of the Depart ment of Justice, has on a number of occasions denounced these ''Hit- lers of industry" for fixing exorbi- tant prices, limiting production and even adulterating their products and suppressing new developments that might affect their profits. Some have been hailed into court for violating the antitrust laws.
 One of the most glaring examples Berge cited was the combine that con trolls insulin. It literally holds in its hands the fate of two million suf- ferers of diabetes in this country whose lives depend to a great ex- tent upon this preparation developed by two Canadians. Yet they lacked up the price and told distributors they would have to charge it or lose their supply.
 Vitamin ID, essential in the treatment of rickets and other defi- ciency ailments which hit the lower income families the hardest, has also been dominated by this greed for profits, Berge charged. Likewise the benefits of spectacles are de- nied to thousands with poor eye sight because they cannot pay the monopoly's price.
 Berge went on to recall the serious problem which confronted this coun- try when the Japs took areas in the Southwest Pacific to which a cartel had limited the production of quinine.
 Illustrative of the lengths to which the monouolists go, he said, was the
