Dr. Charters has to regret the prconce of Jchn Waye as a patient in nursing home. Sclily because he knows crim- inal ‘facts about the doctor, the stranger has been admit- ted te ebtain fer himeelf n alibi for the murder of “Spi- dcr” Schlitz, one of Charters’ ecnfederates in a big diamond haul in America. Waye re- pulics a pistol atéack by Char- ter ghthand man, Mr. James and then causes a rift botween Charters and his acsociate, Dr. MacAdoo, whose cvil past he also knows, by telling the lat- ter to demand of Charters a half chare of the “Lauderdell 10,000 peunds” This involves an attractive patient, Marjorle Landerdedl, whose aunt was a ¢ompanion of Charters’ gang- tter day Charters, enraged and ctartled when MacAdoo acks a bigger “cut” in the Lauderdell business, demands the source of his information. Chapteir 13 TEN THOUSAND REASONS Dr. Charters, bending over his seated partner, heavily pressed Dr. MacAdoo backward into the chair with the ruler, and stared into his eyes. “Who told you about the 10,000— reasons?” Dr. MacAdog blinked, the pres- e of the end of the ruler in- eased against his heart, and he withdraw his eyes from the J > that held them. t my share?” “You do.” “How much?” r—half.” “On your word of honor?" “Half.

" Dr. Charters sat down in his chair, passed his hand across his face, and® then rested his brow upon the hand as he stared in fear and amazement at Dr. Manoel Machado. Marjoric Lauderdell, sitting at ber window, listless, unhappy, re- sentful, pondered the implications of the peculiar conduct of this girange person, Mr. Waye. For his conduct had been peculiar with re-j gard to herself, quite apart from the amazing eccentricity of his general behavior. On first catching sight of her, he had looked at her in an extraordi- pary manner; had called her “Rose- mary”; and it had seemed as though he were going to come— and kiss her; greet her by her own name—as if he already knew her. ... Or was it as though she reminded him of somebody? And that second time, when she had been sitting on the seat inthe garden and he had come and spo- ken to her. How his burning deep- set thoughts and mind and soul. There had been nothing mad about his conversation then. Nothing cu- rious whatever, except that he had again called her “Rosemary.” Why hadn’t she followed her im- pulse and trusted him? What a little fool she had been to snub him and declare that she was perfectly well and happy, and net in the least need of his help 4and advice nor of that of any- body * else. Of course she wasn't either well or happy; and of course she want- ed help and advice—more than anything else in the world, And yet what else could one say or do when a perfect stranger and famous Nursing-Home?

She had been a goat not to jump at the friendship he had tried to offer. A real friend was exactly what she needed. Suppose he went away, and she | was left here alone, without a sin- |gle person—whom she liked and trusted—to talk to, to tell that she believed that her “illness” was ac- tually due to the medicine that was being given to her, that she be- lieved her letters were withheld from her, and that she did not be- ]]iove that the letters she posted downstairs were ever sent out of the house. If she did get a chance to speak to him again, and told him all this, would he laugh at her, to take her seriously, and s; could not help her—simply cause there was no occasion need for any help? No. He had been sane enougih when he had said, “Never take any medicine here. None whatever—no matter what it is—unless Dr. Stud- ley gives it to you. Insist on hav- ing him as your doctor.” He always locked at her so kind- ly, so understandingly, so meaning- ly, as though he had something he wished to say to her. Or was she becoming sentimen- tal and imagining things man? Being kept here was enough to make the most sensible person sloppy and unstrung. If only he would come along now, she would signal to him. And then what? Ask him to wait while she wrote a note that she wou'd throw down to him. She would write it now and have it ready. or “Dear Mr. Jjorie— “I am very sorry that I was so rude when you wished to be help- ful; and as I ridiculed the idea of needing any help, I want to apoi- ogize and to say exactly the oppo- site.
