the gang's leader, Braine.
After the meeting, during which

Braine conceives the idea nf giving

The doctor slowly went into the
hall for his hat and coat. He left the
house and got into the car with never
a word of protest.
"Thinking?" said Braine.
"I am always thinking whenever I
see your evil face. What devilment
do you require of me this time?"
"A mere stroke of the pen."
' Where are we going?'

The other physician bad no such

Restlessly Norton sparned his chair
and walked over to the telephone

Rat almost instantly a voice said,
"What isit?"

"Yes. "Who is it?"

"Not I!"

The reply did not come immediate-

I'vrs been here for an hour, and that
this is the first call I've made. Some

"You asked me to come down to the

"What, hat do you think?'
"Exactly what you're thinking—
that they have come to lite again."
"Joaee, in elms Florence awake?"
"No."
"Do you think there is any hope of
having her understand what really

"I am here only to guard her. I
cannot undertake to read her

"You're not quite in favor of a re-
conciliatinu?"
"•0, yes, if it went no further. Young
people are young people the ,world

"What does that mean?"'
,'That they would not create im-
