you knew everything, Miss Went
worth, you might understand how a
man can be caught In a snare of his
own making. But I’ll win, with your
aid, and III be my own master again.”
* “You are your own master now, Doc
tor Lancaster. Always think that and
remember it.”
<< My own master? When that hound
follows me—"
"Mr. Myers is your servant.”
Lancaster laughed harshly. “By
heaven V he cried, "111 tell him so.
Miss Wentworth, give me that dose
now, so that I can feel like a man
again and have the strength to send
him about his business.”
‘‘It will give you strength,” she an
swered, “but It will not make you
yourself, your better self. You will no
longer wnnt to sdnd him about his
business.”
Lancaster stared at her. "How do
you know that?” he asked. “Are you
a witch? It’s true. But I can't wait
any longer. I have waited fifteen min
utes. Half an hour next time. Miss
Wentworth, the third dra wer— ”
As her eyes went toward the desk
he snatched up the bottle and hypo
dermic from the table. Joan caught
at his wrist. But Lancaster had al
ready plunged the syringe Into the
fluid, and he was upon his feet.
He tried to free ids hand, he fought
furiously, but Joan succeeded In
knocking the bottle from his grasp.
It fell upon the table. Lancaster
righted it, and suddenly darted toward
the desk. Joan caught him. He flung
her across the room. He had got the
drawer open when sne grappled with
him again.
He struck at her with hls right
hand, beating her about the wrists, but
she would not let go. She would never
leave go, not though he struck her in
the face. He tossed her this way and
that, but she never unclasped her hold.
At last he dropped Into his chair ex
hausted and covered hls face with hls
hands.
“Twelve minutes more," said Joan
triumphantly, looking at her watch.
Then she realised that all through
the struggle there had been a hammer
ing at the door. She got up. “Who
Is it?” she called.
“Miss Wentworth, unlock the door,
please,” came the frightened voice of
Mrs. Fraser.
“In a few minutes," said Joan.
“Miss Wentworth, what are you
doing to Doctor Lancaster?”
“I am taking care of him."
Mr. Myers says you will kill him.
He has got to have hls morphine;
yon can’t stop a man abruptly like
that. Mr. Myers understands him—”
Mr. Myers can come in in fifteen
minutes,” said Joan. A11 the while
she spoke she hail never taken hot
eyes from Lancaster's face.
Lam-aster was suffering aoutotL
The sweat streamed down hls face,
and he was looking at her with the
eyes of a suffering animal Yet it whs
not until -the watch band was on the
hour that Joan took the bottle from
the desk.
“The whole bottle Is « normal dose,”
said Lancaster, through hls teeth.
Joan drew one-fourth Into the sy
ringe.
Yon must give me all. Miss Went
worth. That little quantity is useless.”
He was lying about tbe strength of
tbe dose, and he knew that Joan knew.
She did not answer him. He extended
hls arm, and ahe plunged tbe needle
Into tbe wrist Then she corked the
bottle and ahe put it into the pocket
of. her uniform, having previously
added the small quantity in the bottle
upon the table.
The hammering at the door had be
gun again. But the girl waited until
the spasms of pain disappeared from
Lancaster’s face. He rose.
“Miss Wentworth l” he began grate
fully. Then, catching sight of her
bruised wrists, he took her hands In
hls.
Did I do that?” he cried.
Not you. Doctor Lancaster, nn
swered Joan, snatching her wrists
away. Your enemy—our enemy, who
is now worsted in his first field of
battle."

meddlers. Be picked this nurse dp
somewhere and she’s trying to get rid
of me and have the charge of the doc
tor. I won’t stand for it," he added
to Joan. “I warned you twice today,
and you paid no attention to me. Now
you can pack up and leave the insti
tute. Isn’t that right, doctor?” he
added, to Lancaster.
To Joan's stupefaction, Lancaster's
old irresolution had already returned,
and more; he seemed to ally himself
with the secretary. The morphine,
which had restored his body, had lent
him Its own false personality.
“Well, you see. Miss Wentworth
means well,” he said slowly, “but she
doesn’t realize conditions. You see,”
he r.dded. turning fo Joan but not
meeting her eyes, “one has to taper
'’off very slowly In a desperate case
like mine, P»n very far gone, and
heroic measures are useless."
“That’s right. Now tel! her to go,”
said Myers.
"Yes. Miss Wentworth, 1 really don't
believe that you can do any good here.”
said Lancaster obediently. “It was a
mistake. You shall be paid a full
month’s salary. Ask Mr. Myers to
make out'jtour check ."___________________
“She can drive back with Doctor
Jenkins now,” suggested Myers.
"She can drive back with Doctor
Jenkins,” agreed Lancaster, and Joan
saw the secretary’s pale face blaze
with triumph.
“And you might get me a few more
bottles from the storeroom," whis
pered Lancaster to Myers. “Tm very
shaky. I must have enough on hand
in case I wake up in the night. You
understand my needs, Myers,” he con
tinued. with a catch of self-pity in hls
voice.
Joan did not hesitate a moment.
She slipped between the two men and
ran to the storeroom. With a mut
tered oath Myers ran after her. The
girl was Just in time to slam the door
in his face and lean against It Inside
bracing her foot against a plank and
using the whole weight of her body
She heard Myers breathe heavily as
he tried to force big entrance. He
dashed himself madly against It, but
Joan knew that she would die rather
than yield.
“Open that door!” shrieked Myers,
in uncontrolled fury. “Open at once,
do you hear me?”
.Loan looked hastily about her. Some
Instinct seemed to tell her that the
case of morphine bottles was hidden
under the linen pile in the near corner.
By stretching out one hand without
giving way in the least Joan could jus*
reach far enough to toss away the
napkins. There were dozens of the
tiny bottles In tbe packing case be
neath—enough to kill a herd of oxen
Joan heard Jenkins’ pretesting voice
outside, and the irresolute tones of
Lancaster. The ihatron was speaking,
too. The girl did not know what they
were saying to Myers, beyond the gen
eral sense of their expostulations, but
she felt her will ride high above the
storm of conflict.
A hammer lay on the shelf. Joan
took It In her hand.
“Listen 1" she cried to those outside.
“1 have the morphine and I have the
hammer. And I am going to break
every bottle in this room— ♦*
Lancaster cried out pitifully at her
words. “Miss Wentworth, you will kill
me if you do! ri
- “Unless this case passes into my
possession. I am going to have the
storeroom key, and I am going to take

The silence of stupefaction outside
was complete. Joan flung the door
open boldly and stood before the
group, the hammer In her band. She

I AM NOT IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS
BUT I BELIEVE IN GRIFFIN
And her future strong enough to pay a good price for an op
tion on the four cottages on Poplar Street belonging to Mrs.
Thomas. These cottages are not in first class condition, but
they rent for $30 per month and are never vacant for any
length of time.
I MADE A MISTAKE
IT DOES NOT REQUIRE NERVE
But dollars and sense, to buy this property. It would be
such a profitable investment that a person with the nerve
of a jelly-fish would buy the property if he only had vision
enough to see Griffin is a “Coming Town.”
All over Georgia people boost Griffin as the best town in the
best state of the best country on earth. But our rich men
here either have no faith in the future of our town or are
afraid to take a chance on anything but Liberty Bonds.
o
ALL YOU NEED IS $10,000 CASH
<* - buy this choice piece of property the balance at the Vjt
to pay a
regular rate of interest and take as long as you like to pay
for it %
~By~spending $1,000 on the four cottages, they would easily
' rent for $40 a month because of the beautiful lots and choice '
location. For $30,000 you can easily build a “Baltimore
Block” of eight stores that would rent for around $40 per
month and be cheap at that. Invest about $60,000 and I will
” prove to you that it will net you at least 8 per cent a year,
which you will admit makes a good investment. I HAVE
> ALL TO GAIN AND NOTHING TO LOSE. YOU MEN
WITH VISION AND MONEY
WAKE UP!
I have an offer for the property now which will enable me
to make a little money on the deal. To be candid with you,
I hope to make at least $2,000 on my option. The man who
r buys it will have a gold mine. If the property, instead of
the option, was mine I would not take $30,000 for it.
I There is plenty of room for storehouses fronting Meri
•7? wether Street and yet allow the plenty of back
cottages
yard.
Griffin has been hard hit for the past four years. But now
we have learned how to beat the boll weevil, Griffin will
make a wonderful come-back. Get on the band wagon while
the riding is easy.
