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." ‘‘Miss Wentworth, you see now what 1 am - I can’t hold you to your prom ™ 8t ^ Who>s tl,at , We Bha „ gee> .. answered Jonn aDd . i unlocked it. j !

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 charge of Doctor Lancaster, who has employed me for that especial pur pose. during this month." The silence of stupefaction outside was complete. Joan flung the door open boldly and stood before the group, the hammer In her band.

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. If interested talk to SAM COHEN 221 W.
