He could do cuetly as he pleased because it dint make any difference to any- one. Tonight the asylum sounds, sud ia icreams and shouts that thrust (trough the murmurous buildings, iirkfd his nerves like a lash. He miked slowly down to see Drake md Bandy. Crake had a lapboard across the Ewu wu covered with papers. ' 11.:. it - nlut9l Business UM0 lutia w We're starting a building and kin association, Parris." Randy mi excited. "We're putting you ta as silent partner. You don't live to do anything, but we want It toed up properly legally."

"All right Fix It any way you 4 wtat to. I don t know the first thing about business ot any kind. I Ee told them that Dr. Nolan had ! tulited on a vacation. "Are you going to be away tag?" Drake't voice came hesi tatingly. "Dr. Nolan says six months." "Gee, I'm glad for you." Purls looked curiously at Drake, and then at Randy. He wanted very much to know if it Dittered to them whether he went ar stayed. Back at the hospital gate, ha cir cled the ground! and came out on Cerrier street. In the second story ... ui m. iiuuse ii mo end of the block there wu a bright light Vera Lichinaky ut at the window, her arms resting on the sash Moonlight fell full on her face and whitened It to a itoney pallor. She wu staring fixedly at the huge building facing her the gloomy building that seemed even to Par ris to crouch among the tall trees, and to wait pARRIS returned just In time to meet an early, disagreeable winter. The town wu drab and ahabby-looking. He shuddered with distaste u he viewed It Hli work at the hospital wu waiting, the entire itaff rejoicing over the state's appropriation for extensive new buildings. A huge tract of land had been bought for a farm and vegetable garden. Dr. Nolan was full of plana. He was dressing one evening when his Negro houseboy came in and laid a copy of The Evening Chronicle on the table. Parris glanced at it and saw a heavy, black headline Asylum Doctor Makes Fortune Out of Asylum Deal. The second headline, scarcely smaller than the first said, It Pays to Be on the Inside. "Dr. Parris Mitchell, staff physi cian at the State Hospital for the Insane, and the silent partner of Drake McHugh, real estate deal er, realized a cool one hundred thousand dollars on the purchase of the old St George tract recently acquired by the state for the im provement of hospital facilities. It appears that this plan for expan sion of the hospital has been afoot for some time. "Mr. Fulmer Green, elected this past November to the legislature, has promised that an Investigation will be made." Parris laid the paper before Dr. Nolan. "Have you seen this, sir?" "Yes, I have." "There"! no truth in this. Dr. Nolan. I mean if Drake McHugh put this through it was entirely without my knowledge." Parris related In detail the story of his friendship with Drake, the gift or loan of the Tower money, the slow rehabilitation of Drake through being made to feel im portant and successful, and then the conversation with Drake and Randy Just before Parris left for Europe. ' "I signed some sort of papers, power ot attorney among them. I had never heard of the proposed purchase of this land before I left and I know that they I suppose I have to say W that we didn't own it when I left." "Here's the story, Dr. Mitchell. The suggestion that we attempt this purchase and expansion was made by Senator Depass. You were already In Europe had been there for a month or more. I In quired right away about thii prop erty. We had actually talked once or twice to the St. George brother! long ago about this purchase, but they wanted too much money. After the estate was being settled I thought of It again, but I never mentioned It to anyone. Senator Depass acted on his own Initiative. Your friend Drake McHugh bought the place up even before Senator Depass came to sea me." "What about the price?" "It was appraised and the price found reasonable. There'! some thing behind this, of course. Hu anybody on that paper got a grudge against you for anything at all?" "Not that I know of. I haven't many friends, that' a fact, but I thought I had no enemies at all." "You know this this, what'! his name? Fulmer Green?" The undertone of Irony and bit terness wu strange and surpris ing coming from Dr. Nolan. "Braggart, bully, coward, and liar. He made a circus out of the Singer trial and hanged the boy to enhance his position as prose cuting attorney." "Queer, isn't it?" "Dr. Nolan, you gave me my post here pretty much on faith.' You've made it an Interesting one for me I hate to make any kind of trouble for you." "Stuff. Gave you your post be cause we had a first-rate report on you from Seisa in Vienna. You're a good man at your Job. Trouble! Fiddlesticks." "What shall we do?" "Go on as before. I've got some influence in the board and in the legislature." "I don't like publicity." "Well, you're not the kind thatU go through this world without It You might as well get used to the idea. You're sort of conspicuous, in a quiet way!" Dr. Nolan laughed, and Parris smiled slightly. "Well, well, If you don't mind. I'll just use you for bait for a while.. I want to know what's be hind this. There'! something. I think Wardlaw, who runt this paper, is a skunk. You'll tee that Mile! Jackson will write a very different piece about it." (To Be Continued). ir :' .
