Mrs. Close is one of the most _popular hostesses in the smart set and her loss wili be keenly felt.” “What am I to do, Kennedy?” asked the doctor, Imploringly. “You remem- ber I told you the other day-about this case—that thers was something queer about it, that after a few treat- ments I was afraid to carry on any more and refused to do so? She really has dermatitis and nervous prostration, exactly as she alleges in her com- plaint. But, before heaven, Kennedy, 1 can't see how she could possibly have been so affected by the few treatments 1 gave her. And tonight, just as I was leaving the office, I re- ceived a telephone call from her hus- band's attorney, Lawrence, very kind- 1y informing me that the case would be pushed to the limit. I tell you it looks black for me.” “What can I do?’ “Do? Do you suppose any jury is.going to take enough expert testi- mony to outweigh . the tragedy of a beautiful woman? Do? Why, they can ruin me, even if 1 get a verdict of acquital. They can leave me with a reputation for carelessness that no mere court decision can ever overcome.” “Gregory, said Kennedy. to help you I will gladly do. Jame- son and 1 were on_the point of going out to dinmer. Join us, and after that -we will go down to your office and talk things over.” “You are, really too kin mured the doctor.

A LARGE over the situation and see where we stand.” . ./ Dinner oyer, we rbde downtown in the 'subway, and Gregory ushered us into an office building on Madi- son avenue, where he had a very handsome suite of several rooms. ‘We'sat down in his waiting room to discuss the affair. “Itis. indeed a very tragic case, began Kennedy, “almost more traj than if the victim had beeir killed jutright. . Mrs. Huntington Close is —or rather 1 suppose I should say was—one “of. the famous. beauties of the city. From what the paper savs, her beauty has been hopelessly ruined by this dermatitis, which, I under- stand, is practically incuraole.” Dr. Gregory nodded, and I could not help following his eyes as he looked at his own rough and scarred hands. - “Also,”” continued Craig, With his eyes half closed and his finger-tips together, as-if- he wore' taking a mental inventory of the facis iff the case, “her nerves are s> .shattered that she will be years in recovering, it she ever recovers.” - said the doctor simply. “I for instance, am subject to the most unexpected attacks of neu- tis. But, of course, I am under the influence of the rays fiftv or sixty times a day, while she had only a few, treatments at interva's of many da; “Now, on the other hand,” resumed Craig, “I know you, Gregory, very well. Only. the ‘other .day,. before any of this came out, you trld me the whole story with your fears as to the outcome. I know that that lawyer of Closes has been keeping this thing hanging over your head for a long time. And I also know that_you are one of the most care- ful X-ray operators in the city. If “Anything I can do! in our hands a couple ef flugroscopes, an apparatus by which X-rays can be detected. It consists simply of a closed box with an opening to which the eves are placed. The opposite end of the box is a plece of board coated with a salt such as platino- {barium cyanide. When the X-ray strikes this salt it makes it glow, or fluroesce, any object held between the X-ray tube and the fluroscope casts shadows according to the density of the parts which the X-rays penetrate. With the lead-glass bowl removed the X-ray tube sent forth its won- derful invisible rediation and made the back of the fluoroscope glow with light. I could see the bones of my fingers as I held them up between the X-ray tube and the fluoroscope. But with the lead-glass bowl in po- sition over the tube, the fluoroscope was simply a black box into which I looked and saw nothing. So very little of the radiationi escaped from the bowl that it was negligible—ex- cept at one point where there was an opening in the bottom of the bowl to allow the rays to pass freely through exactly on the spot on the patient where they were to be used. “The dermatitis, they say, has ap- peared all over her body, particular- 1y on her head and shoulders,” added Dr. Gregory. w I have shown you my apparatus to impress on_you how impossible it would have been for her to contract it from her treat- ments here. I've made thousands of exposures with never an X-ray burn before—except to myself. As for my- self, I'm as careful as I.can be, but Yyou can see I am under the rays very often, while the patient is only under them once in a while To illustrate his care he pointed out operating table, lined with thick sheets of lead. From this cabinet he conducted most of his treatments as far as possible. A little peephole euabled him to see the patient and ing, without his leaving the I - lined cabinet. 9 = e o " said Kennedy, admiringly. “By the way, did Mrs. Close come alone?” | _“No, the first time Mr. Close came with her. After that, she came with ‘her French maid.” The next day we paid a visit to Mrs. Close herself ‘at the private hospital. Kennedy had been casting about in his mind for an excuse to see her, and I had suggested that we go as reporters from the Star. Fortunate- ly, after sending up my card on which I had written Craig's name we were at length allowed to go up to her room, We found the patient reclining in easy chair, swathed in bandages, a @reck of her former self. I felt the tragedy keenly. All that social posi- tion and beauty had meant to her had been suddenly blasted. “You will pardon my preSumption,” began Craig, “but, Mrs. Close, I as- sure you that I am actuated by the est of motives Trepresent the lNew York Star—" % “Isn’t it _terrible enough that I should suffer so,” she interrupted, er hound me, “I beg your pardon, Mrs. Close,” sald Craig, “but you must be awa that the news of your suit of Dr. Gregory has now become public prop- erty. I couldn't stop the Star, much less the other papers, from talking about it. But I can and will do this, Mrs. Close. I will see that justice is done to you and all others concerned. Believe me, I am not here as a yellow Journalist to make newspaper copy out of your misfortune. I am here to get at the truth sympathetically. Incidentally, I may be able to render you a service, t0o.” “You can render me no service ex- cept to expedite the suit against that careless doctor—I hate him.” “Perhaps,” sajd Cralg. “But sup- pose some one else should be proven to have been really responsible? Would you still want to press the suit and let the guilty person es- cape?” She bit her 1ip. “What is it you want of me?’ she asked. “I merely want parmission to visit your rooms at your home and to talk with your maid. , I do not mean to spy_on you, far from it; but con- sider, Mrs. Close, if I should be able to get at the bottom of this thing, find out the real cause of your mis- fortune, perhaps show that you are the [victlm of a cruel wrong rather to us a cabinet directly back of the | = ——y = = g i i 3 = e—erenas = o £ 5 # > 2 7 G et R ea dy 0 i .+ The Star’s Week End Fiction : ] ; t e : ' - .
