For oddity we would call at- on to the father in Indiana who killed on because he thought the youth had yraced the family name. The youngster, it seems; had been dis- ed twice by the merchant marine for taying his leave. The middle-aged parent considered this a reflection on the family honor and shot the son, a mortal wound.

Dr. Nichols has told me something of your standing in your community, River Gap, he tells me, has sent out a lot of boys to the armed ser- vices. Inevitably, many of them will serve in the tropics; some of them will ‘come back. With a few months training at the hospital, I think you will be much better able to cope with problems ‘that may arise with their return. I think you’d like research work, “Doctor.” “I know I would, Major,” she told him eagerly. “I planned for it during my medical training. But when I'd finished and was ready to go to work, I found my grand- father had counted on me to carry on in River Gap.” Major Stephenson nodded. “And Dr. Nichols tells me you have done a marvelous job!” he sincerely. “The Caribbean spot is open to you if you czre to go; you might take this patient with you and through the treatment of his case, learn a great deal that will be of immense value to you after the war is over and our men begin coming back. Captain Gordon will stay on in River Gap, and ‘sub’ for you, working in close coopera tion with Dr, Nichols and the hos- pital staff towards ridding River Gap of any menace to health. such as poor sanitation, water supply, and so on.” Meredith’s eyes were shining as plans were completed.

She felt a little eetele lious that it should be so, byt knew there was nothing she,cor do about it. Dr. Jonathan Blake had bequeathed to this beloved granddaughter of his something more than a love for humanity, and an inherent skill in the treat- ment of its ills. He had bequeath- ed to her a sense of responsibility that would not let her accept her own happiness at the expense of even one of the smallest of God’s suffering creatures. Maybe that sounded pretty dramatie, she told herself wryly, as she sat suns in her thoughts beside the train window, against which the de-, seending dusk was thickening But —she was a doctor first: sne rad the assignment to the tropica: dis- hospital and she must ro ind every single moment of i: to advantage so that when again the need arose, as it must here in River Gap, even before the var had ended, she would be abic to answer that need.
