Thereby he has obtain- cd an alibi for the murder of “Spider” Schlitz, whem Char- ters in America, had cheated cof his spoils in a diamond Job. Mr. James, Charter's trusted associate, pulls a pistol ¢» Waye, who knocks him dewn. Then the evil Dr. Mc- Adoc, at Waye's urging, mands ¢f Charters a half chare in the 10,000 pounds promised him in the casz of Marjorie Lauderdell, an attractive pa- ticnt, who is convinced that the is steadily growing worse undcr treatment in the home. Charters agrces, alarmed when McAdco admits Waye gave him the hint. Marjorie, whose aunt was Charters’ evil genius, sec- retly writes Waye, revealing her fears and asking his help. Chapter 14 A MEDICAL DIGEST Sir Bernard Matthieson, who had been at Guy's with Mark Studley, bustled into Dr. Studley’s consult- ing room at The Monastery, affer his consultation with Doctors Charters and MacAdoo, and car- ried that old friend to lunch thh[ him. | “Well, Mark, how do you like!| yourself The Monastery?” in quired Sir Bernard, as they sat down to lunch in the ancient oak- paneled dining-room of the Red Lion at Herepath. “Oh, well enough, Bernard. Very interesting work, and I get enough time for reading. I don't want to Dr. Matthieson took stagnate. I'm hoping to come to Harley Street myself, in two or three years. “Good luck to you, my son. How do you get on with Charters? Den’t like him much, eh?” “Oh, I don't know. He's a very marvelous diagnostician, and a fine surgeon.” “And MacAdoo? What do you make of him?” “He’s a clever chap. Real au- thority en South American vege- table poisons. Did some good re- search work up the Amazon and in the Philippines generally. The Negritos there have some wonder- ful drugs, and MacAdoo went after them. They have one poison for | their hunting arrows and another | for their war-arrows—the first causing painless, and almost in- stant death; the other causing ter- rible agony before certain death. No antidote for either of them.” “And MacAdoo got the secret of them, eh?” asked Sir Bernard. “I believe so—as well as a stock of each . . .He was telling me that the hunting poison is hu- mane to use, quite painless, and neither poison leaves any trace whatever in the body, he tells me, whether injected or swallowed. Yes, MacAdoo’s very keen on his sub- ject and doing some real pioneer- ing work in vegetable poisons.” “An American?” “I don’t know. He’s certainly not gtraight from the Highlands. I think he studied at Lisbon and Rio Janeiro, Possibly Scottish ex- traction, and naturalized:in Portu- §81 or South America, He knows jcoming down again later on, at Last publication, April 21, 1931, l BLOOD IN EVERYBUDDY, CANT Y'SET /=3, SUSEE, AN’ MINE'S MYS,TEIQUS«MME EYS A LIL GYPSY A%‘ CALLIN' ME OUT UNDER THE STARS!

Had any personal contact | with this man Waye—John Waye?" “No, I don't detest them..Chas ters is very decent to me, and I lget on all right with MacAdoo. Yes, I've come across Waye . . . jor rather he's sought me out, al- though he's not my patient.” “Would you say he was mad?” “No, not from personal observa- tion. By all accounts he says and does some astounding things. You should hear Mlss Skinner's tales labout him! But he's been as sane ns you or I, whenever I've seen {him. T did hear that he'd commit- | |ted a violent and unprovoked us-‘ | sault upon James—sort of confi- | dential factctum of Charters. But | personally I should conmsider that strong evidence of complete san- ity.” | Sir Bernard laughed. | “I gather you.detest Mr. James, | |if not his employers,” t | “Well—yes—I do rather Mr. James. He makes my run cold.” “Then you don't think Waye's attack on him was a case of homi- | cidal mania?” “Justifiable homicide, smiled Dr. Studley. “So 1 gather you wouldn't certi- Waye if you were asked?” { “No, I wouldn't.

Perfectly normal Dr. osudley to lunch. reactions, As I fold Charters, I touldn’t possibly certify a man on hearsay like that. I laughed at him when he came to me in Har- ley Street and asked me if he were going mad. I told him that any one who is going mad is the last person *in the world to know it.” “On what did he base his be- lef?" “Oh, he said he was constantly finding that he had done violent things without knowing that he'd! done them. Wanted to make out for his actions. symptoms with any one who is { badly run-down. I agreed with him that he couldn’t do better than have an absolute rest in the depths of the country. The next thing I hear is that Charters wants me | to come and certify him as a luna- tic.” “And you refuse to do it?" “Absolutely. I couldn't be a party to putting that man, as I find him, into the awful living death of imprisonment for life in a lunatic asylum. It's easier to get into one of those places than to get out again. I won't agree to it.” “No. You said Charters wanis you to certify him . . . . literally ‘wants’ do you mean, Bernard?” “Well, both Charters and Mac- Adoo were decidedly keen on it, and they produced a witness. The excellent Sister, Weldon, the Ma- tron, a nurse—Jones, I think, was the name—and your friend Mr. James. Each with a tale of as-| tounding eecentricities.

Form of ‘hysteria’ perhaps.” “Well, if that were so, I should say it was the maddest thing he'd done yet,” replied Sir Bernard. (Copyright, 1930, by Frederick A.| Stokes, Co.)
