For Dr. Davis is both young and handsome. - But he is interested in one person ‘only, his wife, to whom he has been married for almost three months. And as for as he is concerned, pa- tients are merely patients to be treated. But he is having a hard time trying to make them realize this fact.

It must be perfectly thrilling.” “Cut pecple up?

He stood in the archway of the Grill Room for a moment, scanning the crowd for a sight of his friend. "A figure came hurrying towards him. “Hello, Bd!” The man caught his arm, “Over here.” “Oh, hello, Joe; I didn’t see you.” Dr. Davis followed his pilot across the floor. They came to a stop before one of the tables, and then the doctor noticed that it was occupied by a female of the species. He frowned ~ 4irresolutely, but his friend was al- ready making the introductions. - © “Miss Pfeffer, I'd like to present my old stablemate, Dr. Davis. Dr. Davis, Miss Pfeffer. Ed and I bunked together at the old Alma Mater. Right, Ed?’ Joe Babbitt turned to the physician. “We certainly did,” Davis re- turned moodily. He was just a bit put out that Joe had dragged in a third member to their little lunch- eon party. She was pretty enough —a little too made up, perhaps. But he had wanted to be rid of feminine wiles for at least a few moments. } INSTALLMENT TWO “1 don’t know—I—I suppose something at the office,” Davis ane swered. But he had an idea that Mrs. Babbitt ‘had been on the oth- er end of that wire. He squirmed uneasily and glanced about him, Suppose May should suddenly turn up here. He knew that she somes times lunched at the Ritze wher she came in town to do her shop- ping. Suppose she saw him at the table with this girl. He cast a few mental #nvectives after Joe Bab- Litt. He had married May only three months ago, and they had yet to have their first quarrel. And he didn’t intend to hurry that quarrel by being seen with a flighty look- ing creature in a tete-a-tete lunch- eon. The best thing he could do would be to get away as quickly as possible. He fidgeted nervously and answered Miss Pfeffer in mon- osyllables. Why couldn’t she hur- ry so that they could get out of there. But Miss Pfeffer seemed bent on taking her time, and not only that, she was also bent on in- teresting Dr. Davis, and to that end she was bringing into play all her charms. CHAPTER II Life in a big city may be amaz- ingly simple, or it may suddenly become filled with strange hap- penings. Thus far Mrs. Edward Davis, nee May Volland, had found it amazingly simple—that is, with the exception of a few childish dis- appointments, a few adolescent heart-breaks. ly lowed, and who in turn adored her, it looked as though life would go on in its amazingly simple man- ner. because morning to stay indoors, and— well, just because—Mrs. Davis de- cided to run in town and do some fall shopping.
