SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, HIGH Chapter 33 Consultation wis trépidation they went, both of their hearts pounding violently as they were escorted throught the huge research in- stiute to the témporary office of the famous Scetch surgeon. The doctor greeted them warmly, then took down ir detail the his: tory of Lance’s case before pro- ceeding to the examination. He looked anything but a world- famed surgeon, Jan thought, for Doctor Frederick Murray was a red-cheeked” round little man h_a bald head and childlike, | itive-eyes.

They happened into a cozy tearoom, chintzed and flowered to proper at here, and found doc’ delight real crumpets. Jan felt bursting with ques- tions, but managed to keep silent, hoping the doctor would sayj something. He did, his gray eyes} twinkling when the meal finished and he puffed leisurel: English on an excellent and aromatic| cigar. He offered Jan a cigarette} and she refused saying, “I’ve just never found time.” “Good. Too many young women nowadays dissipate their health and looks with too many cock-/ tails and cigarettes.” “Even in Scotland?” she smiled “Even in Ethicpia.

She colored with embarrassment, hav- ing no idea how beautifully andj divinely happy she appeared to them, so slim and sweet and ab- surdly young in her pretty blue| suit and perky hat.

You see, I am obliged to attend this symphony. - Truthfully speaking, I'm not much of a symphony fan, and I wasn’t anticipating it, but since a friend of yours—it’s a most formal and fermidable party, my dear. One*of the staff doctors, his wife and another couple have a box for the season.” Jan hesitated. “But won't it seem funny, I mean strange, if you take me? I mean—oh, dear! |I guess I don’t care if you don’t. I want to go so terribly and its | so grand of you to ask me.” “Then it is settled. You will go | with me, as my guest. Hewever, |1 will spare you the dinner and call for you at your hotel about eight. Now about your brother.” Jan thought guiltily that she jhad forgotten Larice, so exeitéd had she become over Derek’s con- cert, over the prospect of seeing t red head and arrogant face once again. “My brother,” she | prompted, concern darkening her vi eyes. “Is *t good or bad Doctor Murray?” ” he said cautiously. “'m having him moved into the hos- pital right away and I’m schedul- ing the operation for day after | tomorro “Then you are going to operate! That means there is a chance!” He nodded. “A chance. You may visit him tomorrow after- noon for a short while, but the remainder of the time I want him to have aboslute rest and quiet. There is nothing you can do until after the operation, and | worrying and fretting won’t help jeither of you, so go in now and ;|see him a few moments, then ex- |pect me at your hotel about eight {or eighty-thirty this evening.” || Jan suddenly remembered she had ne evening dress. Ruth had gegested buyigg one, but she’d {been so sure she wouldn’t need it. There would be time, now, to | select one and it would be a grand |adventure to buy a formal dress jin a New York shop! Would she see Derek tonight after the concert? Would he grin |= her and say: “Hello, Puss?” ‘Air Castles’ LTHOUGH it was middle Sep- tember the evening was warm, jeven a little sultry, and the side- | walks were thronged with people wanting to be out of doors. At eight o’clock Jan descended to the jhotel lobby to wait for Doctor | Murray. unable to.remain longer er room. “Now I know what it means to be ‘all a-twitter’.” she thought, ene ery primly on a rose vel- Right now I'm the st. jitteriest female i , York City Her imaginatio n again had been working overtime and she pic- tured herself, calm and ‘friendly jand delightfully sophisticated, |greeting Derek and saying, “You |Were just too mafvelous, Mr. | Knowles!

She would not permit herself to think of him as Derek Knowles. the immensely wealthy man ol the world—no, he was just Derek, a lonely, frustrated boy whom she jhad helped and who had at last won triumph. Too, he must tell her what she wanted to hear so much, that he had left her and {never written because he wanted first to win success. “Air castles!” she checked her- self. “If he has a great triumph tonight he will be surrounded by reporters, photographers, friends, music patrons and I probably won't be able to get near him!
