KNOW the papers have made a €6 | ‘mystery of Mrs. Thayer’s where- abouts,” Zahn said, “I merely drew & natural inference from | the fact that she had sent for| you when she discovered the tragedy, | and that she went off in a cab with | you, The reporters are a little stupid, 1 think, not to draw the game inference.” “I suppose they were” said Peter, amused. “You're perfectly right. That's | ‘where she is—with my sister.” 1 “WIll you tell her that I am at her service, if she needs me? I make it a | rule not to make professional calls, b "‘ this is, of course, an exceptional case.” | “Yes—I'll get word to her,” said Peter. He hesitated. “My sister sent for Dr. Watson this morning—she thougt one might be needed in a hurry “Oh!” Zahn laughed again, and made a depreciating gesture, am not her ghysflciun. Watson's an excellent man. suppose I could still prescribe, in an| emergency, for ordinary physical ail-| ments, but the mind is my province, not “It is a pity, | easier to know what people should do | than to find a way of implanting that knowledge in their minds?” “You mean that your patients don't take your advice?” sald Peter, rather bluntly. | “Advice?” Zahn raised his e OWS. “I never give advice, Mr. Wayne. That | is decidedly not my province. My task | 1s to help my patients to discover them- selves the nature of their real wishes and, perhaps, to help them, also, to find the courage to act in accordance with them.” He smiled, faintly. “My diffi- | culty is to keep them from persuading | me to give them advice. They're only | too anxious to have it, and too ready to act upon it, 0o, and 5o to evadé the re- | sponsibility of making their own deci- | sions, My task is to lead them to think for themselves and act accordingly.” Peter nodded, thoughtfully. He knew that that was, in fact, a fair and ade- quate statement of a pschoanalyst's con- ception of his job. But he had always wondered whether, in practice, psycho- analysts lived' up to that ideal, and he wondered very much whether Meyer Zshn did. There was nothing meek sbout Zahn, really; the lust for power ‘was in the lines about his mouth, and | in his cruel, predatory hands. And cer- tainly what Zahn had just said didn't apply, Peter thought, to Martha. It ‘wasn't her way to seek advice, or try to evada 1ully believed that most people did go to | & psychoanalyst precisely because they | lacked the courage or the strength to decide things for themselves. “To know one’s own mind—" Zahn was going on, and his voice, now, was detached and remote, as if he were not so much speaking to Peter as thinking aloud. “To know one’s own inmost thoughts, to have no secrets from one's own consciousness, to face, unafraid, one’s most shameful wishes as well as the nobler ones. To have | both the courage and the strength to be true to one's self, to act in accord- ance with one’s nature. That is to | live fully.” “That's a_ dangerous doctrine, Dr. | Zahn,” said Peter. “Dangerous?” Zahn's eyes came back to him. “But life has always been dan- gerous, Mr. Wayne, and it always will be. What is the supreme danger? Death! Annihilation. Destruction, ob- literation, of body and spirit. And that is a danger no one living can finally evade. Danger is of the essence of life, it is the price we must all pay for the privilege of living at all. It is the entrance fee to a theater that has no | free list. | “That man who will not face danger | is a fool. He is doomed to fail in his effort to escape, and the punishment | for attempting it is that he does not live at all before he di , in the end, he must. “Te rejects all t mil- lions of years of effort, all that had led to the evolution of man as he is today, all that had contributed to the survival of the fittest, have done for the race. As a scientist you will agree with me, surely?™ A “I don't know,” said Peter. “I'm mot a sclentist in your use of the word, perhops, Dr. Zahn. I'm a specialist in & narrow and limited field of research. “You do yourself less than justice, Mr. Wayne.” Peter was puzzled; flattered, too. “It didn’'t occur to me that you so Now Brush Ugly Yeow and Stain ! ., Teeth 3 respcnsibility—although _ Peter | €d! much as knew who I was, Dr. Zahn,” he said. Zahn waved his hand, deprecatingly. “You are too modest,” he said. “I like to be informed, moreover.” He smiled. “I know more about you than you think, perhaps, Mr. Wayne, Just for one thing—I have no wish be mysterious—you have had a consider- able place in Mrs. Thayer’s thoughts lately. And you know our technique well enough to know that our patients talk to us, at random, of what passes through their minds. Yes—I know you fairly well.” “I see,” sald Peter. His voice was rather curt. He was still puzzled, and beginning now to be vaguely ed, too. This man was, no doubt, a leader in his own field; he was a scientist of definite and distinguished achievements. But he was also an ill- bred and presumptuous little man. He tried to control his sudden feeling of resentment and dislike; he knew that Zahn would sense it. “You don’t like me very well, Mr. Wayne,” said Zahn. “I'm sorry. Our points of view are radically different. Neither of us is to blame for that. But I am not talking to you idly. It may be difficult, even impossible, for me to see Mrs. Thayer, while you have ready ac- cess to her. In this one case I mean to depart from my rule—I mean not only to give but offer her advice. “Urge her, I beg you, to be strong. To have the courage of her own thoughts, her own deeds. Tell her that her worst danger now lies in her own fears, in a remorse that is not real, but arises from her unconscious tendency to sur- render to her inhibitions, to standards of conduct imposed upon her by centuries of tradition.” “What do you mean?” said Peter, harshly. Zahn shrugged his shoulders deli- o | cately “I” think you understand me very well, Mr. Wayne,” he said. “You are by no means stupid. You have a slow mind, perhaps. But it is a good one.” “If you're daring to suggest—" Peter’s anger was rising swiftly. “I suggest nothing,” said Zahn. “If you did not share my—shall we say, my opinion—you would not so readily un- derstand what it is. I have nothing more to say.” “I have,” said Peter, in a low voice. “Mrs. Thay her husband's death, nor does she know who killed him. That isn't a matter of opinion, but a definite, exact knowl- e. igain Zahn shrugged his shoulders. “If you really believe that—I am sorTy for you, my young friend. And—for Mrs.” Thayer.

Whiterin 3 Days Now there's absolutely no excuse for stained, yellow, discolored or decayed teeth o sore, spongy gums. For science has discovered a way to destroy mil- lions of germs that swarm into the mouth with every breath and attack teeth and gums. It's the way to make teeth gleaming white. It's called the Kolynos Dry-Brush Technique. . Start using this technique—a half- inch of Kolynos on a dry brush. Over- night you'll note an improvement. In just 3 days your teeth will look whiter —Fully 3 shades whiter. Gums will feel firmer and look healthier. Breath and taste will be clean and sweet. Kolynos is unique. The very moment it enters the mouth this highly concentrated dental cream becomes a refreshing FOAM which permits the use of a dry brush, thus making Kolynos|0times more effective. This penetrating FOAM gets into and cleans out every tiny pit, fissure and crevice, Kills millions cf destruc- tive mouth-germs, 190 million in the first 15 seconds. Erases tartar and stimulates the gums. THUS TEETH ARE QUICKLY AND EASILY CLEANED AS THEY SHOULD BE CLEANED — RIGHT DOWN TO THE BEAUTIFUL NAKED WHITE ENAMEL WITH- OUT INJURY. Now if you want sound, dazzling white teeth and firm, coral-pink gums start using the Kolynos Dry-Brush Technique. Buy a tube of Kolynos. KOLYNOS the antiseptic DENTAL CREAM er had nothing to do with | THE EVENING but from keen-witted friends who can face—and accept—facts as they are.” Peter got up. “I suppose you mean well,” he said. “And I don't mean to be rude, Dr. Zahn. But I can't help telling you that you'r talking like a damned fool.” “Oh, no—but no,” said Zahn, gently. “Damned I may be, Mr. Wayne. But I am not a fool.”s Peter stared at him a moment longer; was moved to answer him; changed his mind, and walked away. He couldnt stand this place any longer. He was accomplishing nothing by staying; Charley, it was plain, wasn't coming. He went out toward the elevator. Benny was there, and, for the moment, alone. “Mr. Wayne,” he said, his lips scarce- ly moving. “I want to see you.” He jerked his hand toward a door. “Go in there for a minute.” Peter hesitated. But here, obviously, was a lead of just the sort Charley had hoped he might find at Emma’s. He found himself in a small, close room, in which were a desk, a safe and a couple of chairs. After a minute Benny came in. “I guess we can talk, Mr. Wayne, you and me,” said Benny. “You'll remember that you handed me half a grand one night for a certain party—no need to mention names.” Peter odded, grimly. “Yes,” he sald. “I remember very well. “I guess you can get & message to her now,” Benny went on. “Tell her the same parties she knows about want five grand before midnight tomorrow—to- night, I guess that is. Or else—Con- nollyll find out how Thayer croaked.” “I think you'd better be a little plain- er,” said Peter, after a moment. He rather admired himself, later, for the way he kept his tempe: “She’ll understand,” lenly. “Perhaps,” said Peter. “Perhaps she would. But, you see, I don't. And it's ! important that I should—this time.” “Oh, you be damned!” sald Benny “You don’t want her to go to the chair, was T. said Benny, sul- v ST. “She is—unless she comes through,” sald Benny. The threat in his voice was the ugliest Peter had ever heard. n't ‘mind telling you! You think you know it all, and you don’t. You don’t know anything. You know about the fight at the Fatamas Club? Yes? Well—do you know that she got Thayer calmed down by promisin’ to meet_him at home at 2:30? That’s why he went home—alone?” “I hear you say so,” said Peter. “Some one else’ll hear it if you and she don't watch your step—and that's Connolly,” said Benny. “And I'll tel you something else he’ll hear, too—an that's where he can find the gun that killed Thayer. Ask her where that is. She can tell you—if she will! And then try and get it—with Connolly’s bulls on the job on that roof!” “You're lying,” said Peter, quietly. “They've searched every inch of that roof for the gun.” Benny laughed. “Oh, sure; I know that. It's there just the same. They haven't found it— yet. But they can keep any one else from getting it. The bulls are dumb— but they ain’t so dumb that they'd let any one get away with that gat now!” Peter considered Benny for a_ mo- ment without speaking. The Italian's eyes shifted. But his voice, when he went on, was as menacingly sure as ever. “Connolly knows how Thayer was killed,” hi id. “He knows who did ex: th NUT PISTACHIO ||| ICE CREAM | ‘WASHINGTON, D. “No,” sald Peter. “And she isn't go- L&D—md within five minutes, when.
