CHAPTER VIII
MONTREAL was a revclattoa to
Dr. Luke. Ho hadnt been
there for nearly 20 years. The city
had changed. Everything had
changed. Hfa brother. Dr. Paul,
took bin about the city, covering
all the old familiar places they had
known as students.
But most of all, aside from hla
minion to the "company" offices
and Sir Basil Crawford Is behalf
of the hospital. Dr. Luke wanted
to see and study moofern hospital
methods at Curzon street, where
his brother waa one of the staff
physicians.
So, as soon as formalities were
disposed of they set out. Dr. John
told the story of the diphtheria
epidemics ia detail, and stressed
Tony's part in conquering it.
"You needn't worry about Tony,
Paul," he concluded. "He worked
hard all during the epidemic, and
he's a good boy. I shouldn't won
der if he'd make a name for him
self some day." -
Dr. Paul had some reason to be
skeptical of his son's seriousness
toward the future. There bad been
escapades, and a general unwlll
ingness to "buckle down." "Name
for himself as what?" he asked
skeptically. "PhyjlclanT PlyerT
fianistr Pugilist?"
"Is he a pugilist, then?
asked Dr. John, surprised.
Paul answered dryly, "Well, my
barber tells me he's known in lo
calal boxing circles as " and be
winced slightly "The Murderous
Medico."
-Or. John chuckled. "Better
change the name," he said. "Might
be bad for business."
"Well, anyway," pursued Paul,
"if he is settling down any, we'll
certainly owe It all to you. What's
this about his thinking of a coun
try practice, anyway?" '
""Perhaps I'm not the only Influ
ence there," twinkled Dr. John.
; "Girl, eh?" suggested Dr. Paul.
;Yep, and a 21-jewel tern-winder,"
returned bis brother.
' "Good enough," conceded Dr.
Paul. "I don't mind if it's a girl.
Down here it was always girls."
Dr. Paul's limousine drew near
the hospital. The country doc
tor's eyes glistened as he surveyed
the magnificent building. There
was a willfulness In his voice as
be said, "Gosh! I wish you could
lend us Just one floor.!"
i The blue eyes behind his spec
tacles sparkled as the gleaming
wonders of the hospital unrolled
before them. Splendid, luxurious
rooms and equipment, with what
seemed to Dr. John whole squads
of nurses. Internes, .physicians
and surgeons for tonsil operations
and simple adjustments which he
had often himself performed in
kitchens by the yellow light
kerosene lamps. A degree of su
gkal sterility unthinkable without
hospital conditions, cabinets
beautiful forceps, and complex
steel instruments. Plenty of all
tinda of supplies and antiseptics.
X-ray rooms and mechanical th
rapy devices of which he had only
longingly read.
But wbea they came to the ma
temlty ward, the doctor fairly
beamed. The footprint identifica
tion cards, the Incubators regulat
Ing heat, humidity, oxygen, the
Improved obstetrical forceps and
partial anesthesia devices, kept
Dr. John in a delightful wonder
land for more than an hour. And
when Dr. Paul pressed on hint
now type set of forceps for use In
multiple blithe, he was more de
lighted than any child with new
toys at Christmas, k
But the business remained,
He had come, not for pleasure,
or even to post up bis medical
knowledge, but to get a hospital
for the Meosetown district.
The next day found him cool
ing his heels at the "company
offices, waiting to see Sir Basil
Crawiord.
For an endless time he wait
ed, to. be told finally by a sec
retary that Sir Basil waa forced
to leave for the day, and would
see him briefly on leaving. Dr.
John Luke was not accustomed
to be ao treated in Moosetown
where his word took on some
thing of the authority of law.
But there was nothing to do but
wait- and grow more Irritated
and discouraged every passing
minute.
Finally) Sir Baal appeared,
with hat, coat and stick. Dr.
Luke rose to greet him with
"This is most kind of you, sir.
"Br, eh, about the hospital at
Moosetown, wasn't it. Dr. Luke?"
fumbled Sir Basil. "We must
proceed with caution. Can't af
ford to set an- expensive prece
dent for other districts, you
know. Takes time, nb! '
"But epidemics like our diph
theria this winter ..." began
Dr. Luke.
"Unquestionably.' always auch
a danger on the frontier posts,
said Sir Basil. "Must guard
against, it, of course, but a hos
pital
"In this particular case .
began Dr. Luke desperately.
"I believe all the circum
stances are all set forth in form
48 which you have been good
enough to fill out, broke in Sir
Basil stiffly. "It will be brought
to my attention in due time .
and now, you must excuse me.
I have a luncheon engagement
with- the governor-general, and
one doesn't keep the governor-
general waiting. Perhaps I shall
bave the pleasure of seeing you

Re was gone. Hnmlllatlon, dis
appointment, utter despair surg
ed up In Dr. Luke, Was his
lite-long dream to be lost thus,
ia a msse of forms, letters, and
official indifference?
Even la th midst ot . his
despair, a plan was forming' In
Dr. Luke's mind, a last, desper
ate means ot getting hia case
at least a hearing.
'DrvPul was happy to get him
an Invitation to the mt Meal as
sociation dinner. Hos4tly proud
of the country doctor who waa
hla brother. Dr. Paul contrived
to have him seated at a small
table near the speakers' table at
one side ot the great banquet
hall of the Royal George hotel,
whero the medical' elite ot the
Dominion were gathered.' Dr.
Jolia Luke, in his "beat" suit,
waa only slightly conspicuous
among the Immaculate black and
white evening dress that ' tilled
the hall.
Sir Basil Crawford spoke as
promised, a long, ramblng set
of generalities and pomposities.
He preened himself, hemming
and hawing, as he aat down
amid the usual applause. Then
the little plot ot the country
doctor began to work Itself out.
As in a dream, he heard the
toastmaster rambling on:
". , . . I uow have the plea
sure ot presenting a member of
our profession who has rendered
great services to mankind and to
science Dr. Luke."
Startled by his own name. Dr.
John Luke halt-rose, though he
knew the introduction was in
tended for his more ' famous
brother, Paul. But Paul picked
up the cue smoothly, without in
terruption. Rising Instantly, he
began.
"I venture to Interrupt her
simply to add a word to our
toaatutaster's introduction ot my
brother."
Dr. John swallowed uncom
fortably, and heard Paul's voice
continuing, "He Is a country
doctor. 1 know ot bo more vat
lant calling. His strengtk and
courage in the face of a grave
diphtheria epidemic In the north
country this past winter wore a
lesson for every physician In
Canada!"
Paul beamed at the country
doctor's table. "Gentlemen," he
went on, "I am proud Indeed to
Introduce my brother, Dr. John
Luke."
Paul sat down with a gesture
to hla brother to rise and bow.
Paul was happy at being able to
get him this recogltlon.
' But Dr. John was not merely
bowing. He was walking along
the speakers' table to a position
directly in front ot Sir Basil
Paul grew apprehensive. What
waa his brother going to do?
Sir Basil himself, recognising the
caller of the afternoon, loaned
forward negligently.
Ill at ease at first, the country
doctor began with pleasuntries
about small-town practice, and
drew good-humored laughter
and applause from the tolerant
ly-superior audience. As he
groped his way, Dr. John gained
self-confidouce. He went on.
"Another comforting thing
about being a country doctor, la
that HE GETS PAID!" Here
there was appreciative laughter
from the fashionable audience.
"Of course I was a little long on
eggs this past year. I confess
I had to eat a good many more
omelets, than I like everyone
from proud fathers to tooth-ache
sufferers paid me in eggs. Of
course I got other pay, a cord
ot wood, a horse-collar, two
hogs, a fine Plymouth Rock

Th laughter which greeted
these sallies was suddenly stilled
when the doctor switched to a
serious vein,
"But I do envy you city doc
tors one thing, gentlemen a
hospital!"
.Then Dr. John Luke forgol
himself, forgot the audience bo
fore him, forgot everything but
the huhles ot Moosetown, and
Sir Basil. Turning toward that
embarrassed Individual, he con
tinued passionately;
"I want n hospital more than
anything else - tu the world.
That's why I came to Montreal
that's why I came here to
night to uppenl to th one man
who can Rive It to us. But he's
been busy tao busy to hear
about It!" ' ' . ':. :
Tho country, doctor was ablasc
now wllh the earnestness ot his
plea. Tho toastmaster made em
barrassed cluoklngs,' endeavoring
to Interrupt the torrent. Sir
llasll cleared his throat and
flushed.
"I can't help It, gentleman!"
the doctor hurried on. "I'vo got
to flulsa. It Isn't fair to my
ponple up there to bo oporntod
on on kitchen tables. It Isn't
fair that babies have to bo put
in th kitchen oven because
Ihero'i nowhur ell warm
enough to keep them allvu. It
Isn't fair that whole families
com down with Infectious dis
eases Just because thero Isn't
any place to isolnta tho sick
ones!"
A murmur rose from the
whole hall. Their guest ot honor
was obviously being embarrass
ed. Th tpastmnsler rapped
shurply.
"I'm nut blaming you, sir,"
th country doctor weal on,
spenklug almost directly to Sir
Basil. "You have many prob
lems, and we're only a few poor
people 'way up north. Hut you
muat KNOW thoso things. You
mut DO something-!"
The toastinastor rose decisive
ly. "Sorry, doctor," hla voice
camo sharply. "I'm sure that
at another time we would be
glad to hour nioro of your prob
lems. But tonight our tlmo Is
short." .
Overborne ut last by Iho feel
