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!

He was lying, wrapped in his dress* lag gown, jyQQn his bed, and she sat , at gr ipe with the devil in GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS 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?" i -ffT ' r "ar.Laq ^Oc E ! N it m m \ li \ '[ i ) J . '“How Did You Do It, Miss Went worth?" She Asked In Awe. "Brow can you doubt my word, Mis* Wentworth?" asked Lancaster, with an affectation of surprise. “Of course -you eon. You know, I am not a regu lar user of drugs, I have been over worked, and I took morphine to make ■me sleep, and somehow it got hold of ffl»e. I think I must be unusually S11S oeptible to-the drug.” "The old die of the stupid drug devil! .loan had the storeroom key, and site 'knew that it would require a ham mer or ax to break down the strong doer. And she would wake and hear him. and fight again as she had fought that morning. “Then I am going to ibed .till six." she said. ^ “But, Miss tworth," -he protest ed. “si* hours Is an impossibly long period. Every three hours Is my time and now that I am on haif-Aoses—you remember what Jenkins Mid this morning. You must go slowly with a confirmed drug-user like myself. "Stop!

Fight the good fight! - He caught her hand and carried It to his lips. “Miss Wentworth, you are my good angel I” he cried. “I secured the sendees of an angel unawares,” he added, looking at her with that pa thetic humor which went atralght to her heart. “I want to win for your sake.
