Lancaster, with eyes bent Inquir
ingly upon hers, the matron and Jen
mnte, and Myers, leaning against
' the opposite wall of the passage, re
garding her with venomous impotence.
“Well, what do you say to that, doc
tor?” he sneered.
« It is not what Doctor Lancaster
says," answered Joan. “It is what I
say. Mrs. Fraser, please give me the
storeroom key.”
The woman, looking askance at My
ers, let her hand slip down toward the
bunch at her side.
“The bey, please," repeated Joan,
and, received it. Quickly she locked
the door and put the key in the pocket
of her uniform.
“Now," she "said. “I want yon nil to
understand this situation. I am em
ployed by Doctor Lancaster, I am un
der orders not to go until the month
Is ended. I am In charge of him.
Until he is responsible for his actions
I shall remain in charge, under Doctor
Jenkins. Doctor Jenkins, is tt your
order that Doctor Lancaster 1s to re
ceive a whole dose of morphine every
few hours, of the amount fee has been
taking?"
“Why, Miss Wentworth, I never or
dered that," protested Jenkins. “You
see, Miss Wentworth—”
“Until you do,” interposed Joan
bluntly, “I shall continue the treat
ment as I learned it in Doctor Lancas
ter’s hospital at Avonraouth. And if
the storeroom is opened by anyone
but myself I shall take legal action to
protect Doctor Lancaster's interests."
“Miss Wentworth!” cried Myers,
"you are making a tragedy where none
exists, Nobody wants to harm -the
doctor. We all have -one sole thought.
to help him. Don't we, doctor?” he
continued, addressing Lancaster.
“Ton are all—very kina to me," Lan
caster mumbled.
“There, you see T" said Myers, turn
ing toward Joan again. “There may
exist differences of opinion,” he con
tinued In a facile manner, “and maybe
I’ve expressed myself too forcibly. Bnt
we’re ail at one in wishing the doctor
to get well as quickly as he can.”
He was almost fawning now, but
Joan remained Inflexible. -She knew
that if she relaxed from the nervous
tension that was upholding her -she
would become hysterical.
The group dispersed. Myers ffol
lowed the girl out upon the veranda
and stood for a long time near the
door, watching her as she sat at 'the
farther end, trying to romwose ‘hermtlt.
At last he came up to Iter.
"See here. Miss Wentworth,” he
■began impetuously; “Fve come to -you
twice and spoken fairly to you. Maybe
yoii see now that you would have been
wiser to have met me In the snore
spirit. Come. now. are w-e to work
together as friends or notT*
“I have no objection, M answered
Jean, “but my duty concerns nobody
but tile doctor."
“You mean you won’t co-operate
with me In saving him from himself?”
He looked at her with sullen chatlenge
in-Ills eyes.
■“I do.” said Joan.
Myers thrust his hands Into hi*
.pockets. “Right!” he said. “Three
times is enough. I understand. Anti
-that’s the last you’ll hear from me
.about it.”,
-He went away, and Joan sat staring
.out across the darkening hills. How
bad -she managed to fight this Mind
'battle of hers to a successful issue?
She did not know; but, whatever the
bold might be that Myers had over
Lancaster, she felt that Myers himself
was in - dread of its discovery.
; Presently she saw the matron come
cautiously out of the house and hurry
toward her.
“How did yon do it, Miss Went
svejrtStYT she asked In awe. “You. did
what none of us would have dared t«
do—not me, nor Doctor Jenkins.”
“Why not?" asked Joan. "Mrs
Fraser, of whom are you afraid? And
Doctor lifiueoster? It Is not of that
man Myers, whom he could send about
ills business at any time when tit
found Strength of will. Who 4s it?”
“O, Miss Wentworth, I don’t know,’
the mutron sobbed. “But sane th<
doptor! O. do save the doctor frotr
that man who is trying to kill foitn!’
Chapter VII
Joan had had supper with Laocas

the fight was raging.
She had snt on the veranda wit)

surface as he struggled with the mor
phiue devil; then she had given him
his half dose again, and, ns his
strength revived and the agony de
parted, she had seen the facile; lying
spirit enter into him.
He was lying, wrapped in his dress*
lag gown, jyQQn his bed, and she sat

him that clamored for Its victim’s
body, that it might possess it entirely,
as surely a devil as any spirit of evil,
though Its shrine was a little glass
bottle holding a few drops of fluid.
She was fighting for Lancaster,
fighting for the better Lnncaster again,
and he was writhing in torment and
pleading, with her to go, to leave him
to Lts fate, since the -suffering was
intolerable and subjection preferable.
There was an hour of hideous
battle, but somehow she managed to
beep him quiet till midnight. And,'
seated beside him. watching him. .Toan
came to the conclusion that this was
one of those strange cases of double
personality of which she had read in
medical books. It was impossible to
reconcile this Lancaster in any way
with the man whom she had seen mo
mentarily/at the hospital, and with
the tyrant of the operating room. For
that man was essentially base and
ignoble, and this man was honor and
truth, when the morphine fiend be
ared, bathed for a space, and under
that pitiful load of shame she sensed
the cleanness of the man's soul and
its integrity.
Somehow she held his devil at bay
until midnight, and then, with a sec
ond victory to his credit, he stretched
out his arm for the hypodermic. Then
Joan saw the look of contentment
come into his face, heard the satisfied
-sigh—and there was the old Lancaster
before her, shifty, furtive and false.
No, not altogether, for something of
that victory remained witty him, the
promise of renewed manhood; the
morphine devil was losing Its grip,
©round had been won. It should
never be ceded. Joan swore that as
-she watched by the bedside.
“Doctor Lancaster, you have prom
ised me to sleep till six,” she said.
“Can I trust you?"
