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

We're starting a building and

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."
"Still talking about that Tower

"All right Fix It any way you

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

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."
