Next to the inn, the fact that Margo has decided to take David away from Polly is the most disturbing factor. Dr. McNeill thinks he might like to practise in Ardendale. Chapter 19 Picnic Plans SABE you going to practice in your home town?” Polly asked Doctor McNeill. “I haven't quite decided yet,” Warren replied. “I’ve a few offers I'm looking into—offers with hos- pitals. That’s how I happen to be traveling in this part of the coun- try.” He offered Polly and David cigarettes, and lit one for himself and David when Polly declined. “Do you know, I’m taking quite a fancy to Ardendale.” “That’s good,” said David. “We're inclined to take a fancy to it ourselves. She’s been a pretty lazy sort of town for a number of ars, but she’s beginning to stir. The Powers Lumber Company has jicked up business pretty rapidly ere of late.” “And there ought to be room for another doctor,” said Polly. “Our Doctor Ben is getting pretty old— and the others aren’t especially livel, “T’d like practicing in a town like this,” Warren said. “I told Margo once that I thought it was time for the old fashioned general practi- tioner to take a hand—too much specializing, you know.” “We know,” David laughed. “Like old Miss Lucy Dinwitty,” he said. “She had a lot of money, and the M.D.’s here and in other places seemed determined to get it all, with all due respect to your pro- fession, Doctor McNeill.” “Yes, I understand,” Warren smiled. “Go on. What happened to Miss Lucy?” “Well she had one doctor living off her nose,” David went on, “an- other off her feet, one off her rheumatism, and another one off her heart. Four doctors supporting themselves off one frail little per- son like Miss Lucy!” “And,” said Dr. McNeill, “no doubt one doctor alone could have | “ taken perfect care of her.” “And four killed her,” said Da- vid. “Like the goose that laid the golden egg.” ne joinad the trio. ido you two like my nice doctin?” she asked. “T think he’s just what a doctor ought to be,” said Polly. “Long on the looks and not too short on knowledge.” David said, “We're trying to suade him to settle down and look after us ailing Ardendale folks.” “Not really?” said Margo. She gave Warren a quick look. “Still convinced that you want to do something like that, Warren? I mean, ditch all the hospital offers, and become just another small- town doctor “No, Margo, not ius another smalltown doc tor, tren re- lied. “One that stand one a little rom the herd, I ho Margo shrugged. She turned to Polly and said: “Don’t you bet his bedside manners are simply per- fect, Polly?” “Yes,” said Polly. She didn’t like the flippancy in Margo's voice. “I also bet Doctor McNeill makes his patients feel they can put a world of trust in him.” “Thank you, Miss Jenkins! Warren. “That's one of the things I’ve heard yet.” “Before I forget it,” said David, “we're having a picnic out at th Inn next—” He glanced at Polly, “What day is it you're free, Polly?

Then when David | and Margo had gone, he said to| Polly: “It’s nice to find a man like | Wiley—one who stuck to the old home town and didn’t go off on a | lot of wild goose chasing.” “David would have done some chasing all right,” said Polly, “but | for the fact that family responsi- bilities were always popping up| and spoiling his plans. “That makes him even a more | worthwhile young man,” said | Warren. “Lots of men wouldn’t have paid any attention to} the family responsibilities. ‘They | would have left them to someone else, or nobody at all, and gone on glanced over to where David and | Margo were now standing He | Andy Power§ and a tall, white- haired gentleman. “He’s rather a | remarkable person, I think—espe- | cially for our generation; a gen- | eration that’s turned out so many | young men and women who accept | | failure as a matter of course.” Polly watched Doctor McNeill’s | face as he talked. And she decided | | that she had never before seen | such an expressive one. There was something so amazingly vital | about the man, a vitality that | showed in his eyes, his mouth, even in his thick, dark hair, Then she found herself thinking how nice it would be if he did de- cide to settle down in Ardendale. Maybe he could persuade Margo to marry him sooner or later. It would be a good thing, Margo be- ing married to a doctor. It would also be a good thing for her to stay in Ardendale near her father. “I don’t suppose Margo has had time yet to speak to you about Peter, David’s young cousin,” she said presently. “Oh, yes, she has,” Warren said. “She mentioned it last night. She seems to have taken quite a fancy to the boy. I’m glad, too—since a restless person like "Margo needs an interest in life. It especially leases me—this interest in young eter Wiley—when I recall what a gay and careless existence Margo led abroad.” “Peter’s a very attractive small boy,” Polly said. “I’m fond of him also. I suppose there’ ittle that can be done for a condition like his —a deformity left by infantile paralysis—and yet I keep hoping.” About Sympathy ND,” said Warren, “hope is a mighty fine thing. As for the deformity, there may be a remedy. I don’t profess to know a great deal | about it, myself, but Ido know that certain exercises and the right state of mind can do wonders.” “It's probably unfair to expect you to look at Peter while ou're on your vacation,” Polly said, “but Ido think it would be awfully kind of you to do so. The local doctors Dey look at him, and shake their eads, Our own doctor, old Doctor Ben Shields, tried his best, and he’s the kindest, most sympathetic man, but he didn’t do any good.” Warren smiled. “Perhaps his very kindness and his sympathy worked against a cure,” he said. “What do you mean?” “I mean that often it isn’t so good for a doctor to display too much sympathy, and an overdose of kindness can do a lot of harm. | It’s apt to arouse self-pity in the patient, and make him feel that his | ailment, whatever it is, is some- thing very special.” | “Why, I never thought of that before!” said Polly. | “Believe it or not, Miss Jenkins,” Warren went’on, “some of the fin- est physicians in this country and Europe are beginning to realize that the patient’s mental state has a lot to do with his physical con- dition. It used to be the other way around you know.” es, I know,” said Polly. “But I can recall many instances when being terribly worried brought on a dull headache, and eating when I was tired upset my digestion.” “Right!” said Warren “It’s been proven that anger can bring on a bilious attack.
