There was ‘an Instant’s pause,

CHAPTER SIX
The Gathering Storm,
I. THE PLAIN MAN, ANDREWS.
Dally from nine till noon Dr. Philip
Fosdick sat In his consultation room,
a grave, pleasant spoken, quiet-man-
nered gentleman, dispensing Interest,
sympathy and wisdom without stint to
all and sundry who thronged fy
ing room with care-worn faces and
one by one filed in to lay bare to him
sick bodies, minds and souls.
Today, however, he found himself
irked by his patients, attending with
a divided mind to thelr complaints—
the undercurrent of his tho

So he was relieved when the clock
struck twelve, and for once he

Alone, he tilted
clasped hands behind his head, and
focussed his gaze upon remote ab
straction, A look of pain lurked In
the clear and steady eyes of gray, dis
consolation in the set of his firm, thin.
lipped mouth: the debacle of a love,
for many years the ruling motive of
his life, foreshadowed In his medita-
tion.
Not for an Instant had he forgotten
the confession of love for Mario im-
plicit In Priseflin’s confession of
jealousy of Leonora.
From the first sensitive to the girl's
romantic interest in this man, Fosdick
had seen In it no cause for active con-
cern so long as Mario remained no
more pondernble than a figure In a
dream. But now It appeared that, like
Leonora, whom Fosdick had seen in
the flesh: like Bielinsky, known to
and wanted by the police; like the
gunman Carnehan whose. haunts Fos
dick had been frequenting in search
of a key to the riddle: like all these
folk, Mario was a thing of flesh and
blood, and so perilous to all Posdick's
hopes of happiness, and Priscilla, too.
For Marlo, in love with If not al-
‘ready married'to Leonora, was lost to
her already. However heavily it might
cost her, Priscilla must resign herself
to renunciatien. And then |,
Time would have to do the rest, with
its magical hands of healing and ob-
literation. In time Priscilla would
forget, and be healed, and would find
herself anew. And then another's turn
would come.
He had been patient now these
many years, he could be patient a It
tle longer. And while he waited he
would he helping her; he who alone
could help her to fokget. For her
dreams must cease they must be
stopped by one means of another, so
that the figures of Marlo and Leonora
might no longer haunt and torment
her. It could be done, they could be
stopped, it was a question of means
merely. Fosdick pondered two, allke
distasteful: drugs and hypnotism.
Sincerely Fosdick believed he chose
the lester evil when, taking a pad of
blanks, he jotted down a formula for
a sedative which he hoped might give
the girl nights of dreamless sleep
without harmful reaction,

summons took the prescription to be
