Joan felt the need of speech with him
Irresistible, She did not mean to

shnke off the feeling that Lancaster

hardly knew the purpose of her ac.

of concern upon his face,
“Miss Wentworth, you aren't well"
he exclaimed. “You have been over
doing it!"
“No, Doctor Jenkins, but-—Doctor
Lancaster has gone into Avonmouth-—"
“Yes, Miss Wentworth, But he
won't come to any harm there, thanks
to you. You've taught me a thing or
two about morphine patients, Miss
Wentworth,” hie went on, in his polite,
complimentary fashion. “I never saw
anyone get well as fast as Doctor
Lancaster, nor any nurse that could
handle a situation as you did” he
added.
“Yes, but it was not really mor
phine, you know,” said Joan, and then
ghe almost gaped In astonishment.
What had she sald? Why had she
