Later Michael talks with an old friend—the janitor of the Medical Building—who describes the furor caused by Murchison's vivisection activities, Chapter 14 Man With Crutches VEN Murchison asked what proof the delegation had that he was torturing animals, they showed bim the order he had at the Pound, signed with his own hand, said Jameson. “He was sure wrong around here al) last year over it. Most of the profs was awa when it all happened, but it seemed like an awful lot of them felt like they had to light in to him when they come back. He took it not too bad from the Medical profs, but when it come to some of the Arts and Law faculties comin’ over here to give him hell about the credit of the University and profes- sional etiquette and ali that, he enely told ‘em off to a fare-you- well. You can’t blame him. It’s not so much their business.” .“He and Deane had a blow up, didn’t they?” Jameson pursed his lips and let out a long whistle. “And did they! Well, you just better guess they did. I never heard so much lan- guage from people that’s supposed to know better in my life, f saw Deane come in that day with fair murder in that little fat face of his, and! saw him stamp up to Murchi- son's lab and pound on the door, and I made it my business to be around. They was inside with the door shut, but the row was as plain as you like, Deane sure got what he come after and then some. | kind of felt like standin’ up for Murchi- son there. Deane’s such a snoopy old busybody. And when he come out of there, after Murchison had told him he was a stupid old fossil that only held his job because the college didn’t have pensions for worn-out wrecks, his hands was just shakin’ like they do when he gets excited. He went out of here like a-whipped kid fair daft with Tage.” The interne stared. “Are they all in one roofm.at the Present moment?” “More or less. Yes, 1 suppose you might a4 they are.” “May 1 accompany yow to the door of that room and ask you to deliver a message for me?” The interne eyed him/ thought- fully. “It sounds damn/ funny to me,” he pommented. “You want a man and all you know about him is that he has Sandy hair and wears erutehes.” “It is damn funhy,” Michael agreed. “I wish I-had time to ex- oan all the details to you. You'd" \e interested. | ‘Well, maybe. I haven't got time either. We're under-staffed.

Forty pairs of eygs looked up at em. i “Say you're looking for a man | who is expecting a message from Dr. Murchison,” Michael said quietly. “Any of Phe fellows waiting for a message from a Dr. Murchison?” the interne said loudly. Silence. No one stirred, The interne frowned. “No go,” he said to Michael. But Michael’s keen eyes were roving over the group. One face had paled dreadfully at the in- terne’s first speech, Michael looked straight at the man. “I think I see him,” he said pleasantly, raising his voice the merest trifle. At his words the man stirred in his chair and reached for the crutch at his side, He stood up, a shell of former bravery and cour- age, a husk of lost strength. His voice was small, tense. ‘I'm Not Coming’ “T’m not — I’m not coming,” he said. Michael waited. He looked at the man. The man stared back at him. “T’m not coming,” he said a little louder. “I don’t have to come.” A big, black-haired chap beside him looked up at Michael. “Is that Clem Price, crack golfster of| 136.
