window, gazing somberly at the
concrete courtyard five stories be-
low. Schmidt was conducting the
interrogation.
Patient I'll said, monotonously,
II don't remember"
Dr.. Schmidt leaned forward,
frowning. ''You remember nothing
of the past? Nothing at all?"
Slowly the man shook his head.
But you understand the pres
ent. You know" Schmidt
raped the arm of his high-backed
chair - what this is?"
1T is a chair"
Schmidt turned to Linares.
This amnesia may be only tempo
rary. Wen try again tomorrow at
the same time.
Linares nodded to the nurse.
She wheeled the patient back to
his room, and Linares followed.
He said, as she helped the man in
to bed. Il don't think these re-
straints are necessary"
The nurse gave him a strange
look. May I speak to you pri-
vately, Doctor?"
Linares glanced at his watch. He

out into the corridor. Linares was

softly behind him. "Unless yOx

At noon the next day, Patient

motionless, the hideous grin gone
from his face. His skin was still

had bitten his tongue during the
induced commissions. He had also
dislocated his left shoulder. But
his pulse was fairly strong.
DR.. Linares sat beside the bed,
watching him. The door opened
and Dr.. Schmidt came in. There
was a rigidly controlled air of ten
sion about him. He had a hypoder-
mic syringe in one hand, a card

Linares shook his head.
SCHMIDT moved forward. This
should do it.. He drove the needle
home. He looked up. and his eyes
were no longer expressionless.
This time it will not end in fail

tapped the cardboard folder. ''It

The man in the bed stirred. His
eyelids fiuttered. Linares stood up.
It was cool in the room, but he was
sweating.
Patient I'll opened his eyes.
And looking into them, DR.. Linares
felt his own heart begin to pound
with a heavy, unnatural rhythm.
Not merely. because he saw sanity
there. But because, for one brief
and chilling moment, he had the
feeling that there was something
more than sanity.

lips with his lacerated tongue. He

her hands together - "as if he
knew everything about you.
Everything!"
Very WELL" Linares made his
voice, crisp. impersonal. Once a
nurse started having these fancies,
he knew, the only thing to do was
remove her.
''Oh. thank you'll" She hesitated.
Doctor, l know it's not my place
to say this. But don't take him out
of restraint. "
I'm be the judge of that, "
Linares said coIdly. He went down
the corridor, annoyed. You
couldn't reason with unreason-
ableness.
NEAR the dispensary one of the
other staff doctors intercepted him
and insisted on airing some griev-
ance. It was fifteen minutes before
Linares could get away, twenty
before he walked into the room of
his patient in the private wing. He
stopped short just over the thresh-
old. A nurse was drawing a sheet
over the patients face. Hes gone,
Doctor"
''When?" demanded Linares. He
had expected the man to die soon,
but not today, not. :.
Five minutes ago." the nurse
said. Certainly no more"
Linares felt the hair priclxle at
the back of his neck. He turned
and went back to the public wing.
Patient I'll was sitting quietly in
bed. His great dark eyes fixed
themselves on Linares' face. There
was no hostility in them. no mad
ness. But the doctor knew now
what the nurse had meant. They
were the eyes of a stranger. A
stranger who knows too much. :.
"WHAT is it, dear?" Sonora
Linares asked her husband that
night. What's bothering you?"
Linares pushed his coffee cup
away. Always, until now, he had
shared everything with his wife.
Nothing much. Schmidt thinks

Most boys and girls like camp
ing. They read about the camps
made by hunters, woodsmen,
gypsies and the Indians and the
idea is one that fosters longing
for the experience. 1t may be a
longing we inherit from olden
days, who knows? But the feel
ing is invariably there.
In the large cities there are
many children who, never have
actually seen the woods. never
played by a brook or climbed a
high hill, filling their lungs with
good, pure air. Such an expert
ence is a wonderful tonic to the
body and to the spirit of boy
or girl. Those who have not been
to the country have been de-
prived of an excursion that al
ways will live in their memory.
Private camps have done fine
work for the children privileged
to attend them. Many charitable
organizations constantly are CIV

Of weeks to summer camps. But
there are many children who are
doomed to spend all the year
amid the bricks and mortar of
city streets. They should have
the chance to see the outside
world-the forest, meadow, hill
and grove. Every city school
should have its country home.
| Many may say that this is a
wonderful idea. but. All we
need to make this dream come
true is the conviction that it
must. The money must be found
to build and manage the camps.
If the land was made available,
children could do their bit in
helping construction. Just now
war is using much of our money.
but wars come to an end and in
the meantime why not do a little
planning?
Though we have many beau
tiful camps in this country for
children, we need more.
