e Dfe Doctor BY ARTHUR B. REEVE, One of The Star’s Week-End Fiction Series. Each story complete in three installments. The stors thus fa Price Maitland was found reeling down Broadway one morning. He died a little later in & hospital, as Kenneds decided, from the enom of th a rubbed (nto a prick on his hand. In his pocket was a typed note asking his wife's forgiveness, and indicating sulcide. Kennedy, realizing suicides don't typewrite their farewelis, and that it was cobra poison tiat killed him, investigated. He called on his wife. While she swering 8 _telephone Son be got samples of her typewriter eharac- fers. He then called on Dr. Ross, & nerve specialist, who had been looking after Mrs. Maitland. He said Mr. Maitiand had been there that morning and was apparently much worried. ¥rom his manner. the doctor said, he fancied Mr. Maitland dovbted his wife's fidelity. [ O you think he was right?” shot out Kennedy quick- 1y. eveing Dr. Ross keenly No, emphatically, no; he was not right” replied the doc- tore, meeting Craig’s scrutiny with- out flinching. “Mrs. Maitland.” he went on more slowly as if carefully weighing every word, “belongs to a large and growing class of women in whom, to speak frankly, sex seems to he suppressed. She is a very hand- some and attractive woman—you have seen her? Yes. You must have noticed, though, that she is really frigid, cold, intellectual. The doctor was so sharp and posi- tive about his first statement and 8o careful in phrasing the second that 1, at least, jumped to the con- clusion that Maitland might have been right, after all. I imagined that Kennedy. too, had his suspicions of the doctor. “Have vou ever heard sor used cobra_venom in any of your medical work?” he asked casually. Dr. Ross wheeled in his chalr, sur- prised. . Why, ves” he replied “quickly “You know that it is a test for blood diseases, one of the most re- cently discovered and used parallel to the old tests. It is known as the Weil cobra-venom test.” Do you use it often " he replied. My practice ¥ does mot lie in that di- 1 used it not long ago, once, 1 have a patient under my known clubman.

He was quite ready to talk without being urged. “Ordinarily.” he explained tonfidentlally, “professional ethics 1lips, but in this instance, you seem to know so much, may as well tell more.

Still he went Mrs. Maitland is, as 1 have hint- ©d at, what we specialists would call 2 consciously frigid but unconsclously passionate woman. As an intellectual Woman she suppresses nature. But nature does and will asse.t herself, we believe. Often you 1 find an intellectual woman attracted unrea- sonably to a purely physical man—L mean, speaking generally, not in par- ticulgr cases.

Now, dom't misunderstand me,” he cautioned. am spéaking generally, not of this individual case.” 1 was following Dr. When he talked so he fascinating man. Mrs. Maitland,” he resumed, “has bheen much troubled by her dreams: as you have heard, doubtless. The other day she told me of another dream. In it she seemed to be attacked by 2 bull. which suddenly changed into a serpent. 1 may say that I had asked her to make a record of her'dreams, as well as other data, which I thought might be of use in the study and treatment of her nervous troubles. 1 readily surmised that not the dreams, but something else, perhaps some recollection _which they recalled, wor- ried her. By careful questioning 1 discovered that it was—a brokep en- gagement. es,” prompted Kennedy. “The bull-serpent. she admitted, had & half-human face—the face of Ar- rold Masterson!” Was Dr. Ross desperately shifting suspicion from himself? I asked. ery strange—very,” ruminated Kennedy. “That reminds me again. 1 Avonder if you could let me have a sample of this cobra venom?” “Surely. Excuse me; I'll get you some. The doctor had scarcely shut the door when Kennedy began prowling around quietly. In the waiting room, which was now deserted, stood 2 typewriter. Quickly Craig ran over the keys of the machine until he had a sample of every character. Then he reached into the drawer of the desk and hastily stuffed several blank sheets of paper into his pocket. “Of course, 1 need hardly caution vou in handiing this.” remarked Dr. oss, as he returned. “You are as well acquainted as I am with the dan- ger attending its careless and un- scientific use: “T am, and 1 thank you very much,” sald Kennedy. We were standing in the waiting TO “You will keep me advised of any progress you make in the case?’ the doctor asked. “It complicates, as you can well imagine, my treatment of Mrs. Maitland “I shall be glad to do sa” replied Kennedy, as we departed. An_hour later found us in a hand, somely appointed bachelor apartment in a fashionable hotel overlooking the lower entrance to the park. “Mr. Masterson. I believe?" inquired Kennedy, as a slim, debonnair, young- ish-old man entered the room in which we had been walting. “I am that same. he replied. what ‘a 1 indebted for pleasure We had been gazing at the various curios with which he had made the room a veritable den of the connois- seur. “You have evidently traveled con- siderably.” remarked Kennedy, avoid- ing the question for the time. “es. 1 have been back in this country only a few weeks,” Master- son replied. awaiting the answer to the first question. “I called.” proceeded Kennedy, “in the hope that you, Mr. Masterson replied Dr. Ross closely. was a most “To this might be able to shed some light on} Ahe rather peculiar case of Mr. Mait- land, of whose death, 1 suppose, you have already heard: % “You have known Mrs. Maitland a long time?" ignored Kennedy “We went to school together. “And were engaged, were you not?” Masterson loloked at Kennedy in ill- conceald surprise. “Yes. But how did you know that? Jt was a secret—only between us two—I thought. She broke it offt— not 1" “She broke off the engagement?" prompted Kennedy. “Yes—a story about an escapade of mine and all that sort of thing, you know—but, by Jove! I like your nerve. sir.” Masterson frowned. then added: “I prefer not to taik of that. There are some incidents in a man’s life, particularly where a woman is concerned, that are forbidden.” “Oh, -1 _beg pardon,” hastened Ken- nedy: “but, by the way, you would have no objection to making a state- ment regarding your trip abroad and your recent return to this country— subsequent to—ah—incident which we will not refer to?" : “None whatever.

A young eared noiselegsly. he said, “take this: ‘I left New York in 1908, traveling on the continent, mostly ‘in_Parls, Vienna and Rome. Latterly I have lived in Lomdon, until six weeks ago, when 1 returned to New York.' Will that “Yes, perfectly” said Kennedyas he folded up the sheet of paper wivich the young secretary handed to him. Thank you. I trust you won't con- sider it an impertinence it 1 ask you Whether you were aware that D Ross was Mrs. Maitland's physician ‘Of course, 1 knew it,” Masterson replied frankly. “I have given him up for that reason, although he does not know it yet. I most strenuously object to being the subject of—what shall I call it?—his mental vivisec- tion.’ “Do you think he oversteps his po- sition in trying to learn of the men- tal life of his patients? queried Craig. 1 would rather say nothing further n that, either,” replied Masterson. 1 was talking over the wire to Mrs. Maltland a few moments ago, EIVINg her my condolences and asking it there was anything I could do for her immediagely, just as I would have done in the old days—only then, of course, 1_should have gone to her directly. The reason I did not go. but telephoned. was because this Ross seems to have put some ridiculous notions into her head about me. Now, look here; I don't want to discuss this. I've ‘told you more than I in- tended, anyway.” Masterson had risen. His suavity jenasked a final determination to say no_more. The day was far advanced after this series of very unsatisfactory interviews. I looked at Kenned blankly. We seemed to have unc ered so little that was tangible that 1 was much surprised that apparentiy he was well contented with what had happened in the case so far. I shall be busy for a few hours i the laboratory, Walter,” he r marked. as we parted at the subway. “I think, If you have nothing bett 10 do, that you might employ the time in looking up some of the gossip about Mrs. Maitland and Masterson. to say nothing of Dr. Ross.” he em- phasized. “Drop in after dinner.” There was not much that I could find. Of Mrs. Maitland there w. practically nothing that I already did not know from having seen her name in the papers. She was a leader in a certain set which was devoting its activities to various social and moral propaganda. Masterson's early esca- pades were notorious even in the younger smart set in_which he had movad, but his years abroad had mel- Towed the recollection of them. He had not distinguished himself in any way since his return to set gossip afloat. nor had any tales of his doings | abroad fiitered through to New York clubland. Dr. Ross, I found to my: surprise. was rather better known than I had supposed, hoth as a spe- cialist and as a man about town. He seemed to have risen rapidly in his profession as physician to the ills of society's nerves. T was amazed after dinner to find Kennedy doing nothing at all ‘What's the matter?” I asked. “Have you struck a snag?" i ' o he replied slowly, “I was waiting. 1 told them to be here be- tween half-past § and 9.” Who?" T queried.

Her heart was beating tempestuously. She was trying her best to act "quite casual. She knew that both men had seen her hand in voung Gresham's, but she hoped had not seen the kis Richard Slocum's eyes were unmis- takably disapproving. Her crotchety John would not look at her. She caught up the tiny bundles of shells that she had been colleeting and ran toward John singins. “Oh, she sells sea shells! Look. Johnny, see what Mr. Gresham.and 1 have found for the twins! Won't they just love them? Mr.” John Munro Lindsay, very tall and most formidable, not answer her. It was Richard who came (& the rescue and saved the moment from becoming impoksibly awkward. He knew that he ought.not to feel sorry for this impulsive little woman who was always _precipitating herself into semi-sentimental predicaments | without in the Jeast meaning to, but she looked s0 appealing as she reached the offerings for the twins toward her sulky John that Richard could not resist the impulse to | smooth things a bit for hér. | ] Tooking did She was tying the gaudy green !and tan scarf across her curls, her bronze head bent childishly to hide her trembling lips. It hurt her very much to have John repulse her. “You certainly, are an exemplary pair of parents.” Richard's smooth baritone drawled easily. “Decidedly acquisitive. I'll say. John's supreme- court-about-to-make-a - grave - deci- sion expression is due to the fact that his left pocket contains a com- mon or ordinary specimen of mud turtle, while his right pocket hides an unusually excelient, but small, box turtle. He can't decide which twin is entitled to which.” - Merriam flashed Richard a grateful glance. She dared to rumma; in her liege lord's pockets. She held the turtles” aloft, balancing them delicately, ex ng rapturously over them. X p: “Weren't_you the smartest to find them!” she flattered John shameless- ly. “I don't think there will be any trouble at all.

I felt most uncomfort-| able, as indeed I think the rest did She mereiy inclined her head to Mas- terson, seemdd almost to avoid the eye of Dr. Ross, glared at Dr. Leslie and absolutely ignored me. Cralg had been standing aloof at his laboratory table, beyond a nod of recognition paying little attention to anything. He seemed to. be in no hurry to begin. “Great as science {s,” he commenced, at length, “it is yet far removed from perfection/ There are, for instance, substances so mysterious, subtle and dangerous as to set the most dellcate tests and powerful lenses at naugh while they carry death most horri in their train He could scarcely have chosen his words with more effect. ‘Chief among them,” he proceeded. “are those from nature's own labo- ratory. There are some sixty species of serpents, for example, with deadly venom. Among these, as you doubt- less have all heard, none has brought greater terror to mankind than the cobra-di-capello, the Naja tripudians of India. It i{s unnecessary for me to describe the cobra or to say any- thing about the countless thousands who have yielded up their lives to it. 1 have here a smlPl quantity of the venom." (He indicated it in a glass beaker.) ~“It was obtained in New York, and T have tested it on gulnea- pigs. It has lost none of its potency. T fancied that there was a feeling of relief when Kennedy by his ac- tions indicated that he was not going to repeat the test. “This venom,” he continued, “dries in the air into a substance like small scales, soluble in water but not in alcohol. It has only a slightly acrid taste and odor, and, strange to say, is inoffensive on the tongue or mu cous surfaces even in considerable quantities. All we know about it is that in an open wound it Is deadly switt.in action.” It was difficult to sit unmoved at the thought that before us, in only a few grains of the stuff, was enough to kill us all if it were introduced into a scratch of our skin. “Until recently chemistry was pow- erless to solve the enigma, the micro- scope to detect its presence, or path- ology to explain the reason for its deadly effect. And even now about all we know is that autopsical research reveals absolutely nothing but the general disorganization of the blood corpuscles. In fact, such poisoning is best known by the peculiar symp- toms—the .vertigo. weak legs and falling jaw. The victim is unable to speak or swallow, but is fully sensi- ble. He has nausea, paralysis. an ac- celerated pulse at first, followed rapidly by a weakening, with breath slow and labored. The pupils are contracted, but react to the last, and he dies in convulsions like asphyxla. It is both a blood and a nerve poison. - As Kenendy proceeded Mrs. Mait- land never took her large eyes from his face. Kennedy now drew from a large en- velope in which he protected it the typewritten note which had been found on Maitland. He said nothing about the “suicid he quietly be- gan a new line of accumulating evi- dence. “There is an increasing use of the typewriting machine for the produc- tion of spurious papers” he began:! rattling the note significantly. “It is partly due to the great increase in the use of the typewriter generally, but more than all it is due to the errone- ous idea that fraudulent typewriting cannot be detected. The fact is that the typewriter is perhaps a worse means of concealing identity than is disguised handwriting. It does not afford the effective protection to the criminal that is supposed. On the cortrary; the typewriting of a fraud- ulent document may be fhe direct means by which ft tan be traced to its source.

Her father and her aunt would get scared Into seventeen fits because she would get lost.” “Never was lost in my life,” she in- terrupted, indignantly. “Beg pardon: I stand corrected. I meant to recail the fact that in the spring she was altogether apt to run away. She probably went farther than she actually intended to, so that to all practical intents and purposes she might just as well have been lost. There isn’t mueh difference, really, between being lost and not knowing how to get home.” “How do you know I didn't kuoow how to get home, Rioh® Slocum?” 'she demanded. “If you all hadn't always come tagging after me so quickly, I'm suro I'd have found my way back. I'm sure.” She was childishly. deflant. “I wonder whether you would.” Richard's tone was entirely pleasant. “You might have had the best in- tentions in the world, but still not been able to get back. I've always thought,” he ended, contemplatively, “your father pursued the wrong tac- tics, 1 suppose, being a father, he couldn’t help going out after you, but_any other man—say, a brother or an‘ uncle—might have conceived the idea of punishing you .a bit by letting you think you were lost.
