Nurses in the Southern hospital at Avonmouth are angered by the insolent treatment accorded them by Dr. John Lancaster, head of the in- stitution, and there is a general feeling of unrest, into which Joan Wentworth, probationary nurse, is drawn Doctor Lan- caster Is performing a difficult operation, for which he has won fame. Joan, with other nurses, is In attendance. She is upset, through no fault of her own, and makes a trivial blunder at a crit. ical moment. The patient dies and Doctor Lancaster accuses her of clumsiness She is sus- pended, the action meaning the end of her hope of & career as & nurse. Without relatives or friends, and desperate. Joan, urged by her landlady, goes to Doctor Lancaster's office to ask him to overlook her blunder and reinstate her. She overhears a violent altercation between Doc- tor Lancaster and other men she does not see. Joan Is struck by the favorable change in the ap- pearance and demeanor of the doctor, recalling that at times In the hospital he has been gentle and thoughtful and at others su- percilious and bullying. He tells her he can do nothing for her at the hospital, but offers her a po- sition in a nursing institution In the country, telling her she can be of "great assistance” to him. A man named Myers demands she tell him what the doctor had sald to her. She denies him the information, and he covertly threatens her At the Institu- tion, which is owned by Doctor Lancaster, Joan finda Myers. He tells her he ia the secretary. She instinctively dislikes and fears him The only patient at the institute Is a Mrs Dana. de- mented but harmless Joan fis vaguely uneasy, feeling that there is some mystery about the place. Doctor Lancaster arrives Joan ac him of decelving her, declaring her Intention of leaving. He tells her he is the patient who needs her, saying he wants help In a “big fight,” but makes no further explanation She decides to otay Evidently Doctor Lancaster Is afraid of Myers. Joan discovers that the doctor Is a victim of the mor- phine habit Joan takes charge of him, helping him to overce temporarily his craving for drug Myers ROCUSEs her meddling,” but she refuses leave or to give up her care Lancaster, Mra, Fraser, the matron, admits all at the insti. tution are afrald of Myers, but will not say why She begs Joan to “save the doctor’ Joan In a measure succeeds In freeing Lan- caster from his craving for drugs » cuses Mme the of to of CHAPTER VI—Continued ae] Qe is not what Doctor answered Joan. “It is Mrs. Fraser, storeroom key.” The woman, looking askance at My. “it wi ys," Say.

Nobody wants to harm the doctor. We all have one sole thought, to help him. Don’t we, doctor? he continued, addressing Lancaster, “You are all—very kind to me,” Lan- caster mumbled. “There, you see!” anid Myers, turn. ing toward Joan again. “There may exist differences of opinion,” he con- tinued In a facile manner, “and maybe I've expressed myself too forcibly. But we're all at one in wishing the doctor to get well ag quickly as he can.” He was almost fawning now, but Joan remained Inflexible. She knew that If she relaxed from the nervous tension that was upholding her she would become hysterical. The group dispersed. Myers fol- lowed the girl out upon the veranda and stood for a long time near the door, watching ber as she sat at the farther end, trying to compose herself, At last he came up to her, “See here, Miss Wentworth,” he began impetuously ; “I've come to you twice and spoken fairly to you. Maybe you see now that you would have been wiser to have met me in the same spirit. Come, now, are we to work together as friends or not? “I have no objection” answered Joan, “but my duty concerns nobody but the doctor” “You mean you won't co-operate with me In saving him from himself? He looked at hier with sullen challenge in his eyes, “1 do,” sald Joan. Myers thrust his hands into his And me I understand, last you'll hear from times is enough. that's the about it.” He went away, and Joan sat staring out across the darkening hilis. How had she managed to fight this blind battle of hers to a successful Issue? She did not know; but, whatever the hold might be that Myers had over Lancaster, she felt that Myers himself was in dread of its discovery. Presently she saw the matron come cautiously out of the house and hurry toward her. “How did you it, Miss Went. worth?" she asked in awe, “You did what none of us would have dared to do—not me, nor Doctor Jenkins" “Why not?" asked Joan “Mrs, Fraser, of whom are you afraid?

Somehow she held his devil at bay until midnight, and then, with a sec ond victory to his credit, he stretehed out his arm for the hypodermic. Then Joan saw the look of contentment come into his face, heard the satisfied sigh--and there was the old Lancaster before her, shifty, furtive and false, No, not altogether, for something of that victory remained with him, the promise of renewed manhood; the morphine devil was losing its grip Ground had been won, it should never be ceded. Joan swore that as she watched by the bedside, “Doctor Lancaster, you have prom. ised me to sleep till six,” she sald. “Can I trust you?” “How can you doubt my word, Miss Wentworth?’ asked Lancaster, with an affectation of surprise. “Of course you ean.
