had de- came much interested in the study of tropical diseases afterward jm oppor tunity occurred to become junior doctor fianto domlruongo as this would afford htm a wide experience with maludlc peculiar to hot climates he had deudid to accept the life was not unpleasant maynard became tncreastngly aware that 11 was also highly useful until his arrival thesi native women and children had received no medical care worthy of the name kadi village usuall hod its old wise woman whose medical lore was a curl ous mixture or practical remedy and outright superstition doctor lindley took a keen and aym pathetic interest in the work maynard found his shrewd comments and prac tlcal suggestions of immeasurable uiui particular t niet in a talkative mood the older man confided his hopes you know traynor there are half a doaen sugar companies operating in this vtclnlt all of these furnish medical care to employees if theyd pool the sums each now spend separate 1 one large hospital could be establish ed it would be far niort efficient than the present system it sounds logical said maynard most of the resident managers an interested in the project snd are can vlnced of its desirability om or two are afraid it might result in increased expense but it needn t w could treat man poor peon who no get no can tlte manager of osiibbran oanc is the real stumblingclock concerned she contended he was in a fblmd alley rm not very good at arguing my point of view said maynard one even ing after the two had been engaged in the usual dispute why not come with me tomorrow while i make my calls perhaps youll see for yourself what i find it impossible to explain 111 do it she agreed but dont be disappointed it i don t change my mind the following morning the young doctor stopped at snowdens for vir ginia and they set but upon his daily round of visits the patient resignation of these ignorant peasants their com plete confidence in the american doctor their courage in the face of pain these maynard believed would affect the most hardened cynic at the start virginia had been lively inclined to chatter facetiously and joke as the morning wore on she became quieter more thoughtful he made no comment his plan seemed to be meet ing a measure of success but he had no wish to labor the point a few days later the managers daugh ter volunteered to go with him again surprised and pleased maynard gladly oacnrnoii gossip among the american employees mas that the activities of oiu domingo rodriguez were becoming a cause of much concern to trie managers of the sugar companies rodligues was a puerto rican a more intelligent type than the dominican peons arnyg whom he labored he hod her attitude underwent a gradual but noticeable change she fell into the habit of accompanying the young doctor once or twice each week their friend ship ripened quickly virginia usually took upon herself the duties of chauffeur on such occasion sometimes she went in with maynard to lxit a patient more often she merely parked in the shade or some co palm where the car was quickly sur rounded by a gaping crowd of halfclad urchins with these the girl engaged in friendly conversation until the young doctor emerged again from the thatched hut he had entered approaching one day the most remote of the villages which maynard included in his rounds they i were startled by sounds of an unusual commotion on the main and only street of the village a mlulng crowd was visihk shouting i and cries of protest disturbed an olhtr- l s turn the car around ordered the doctor keep the motor running he instructed further you stay here i m going to set whats causing the excite men l a qui i protest sprung u lur lips bu ujrd unutured obvlosly muynard ut peeled to bt obeyed virginia munocmirtxl the car

maohlnv butl without effect it disappeared down the dusty road maynard grinned at the discomfited bandit leader but si lobo quickly re gained his composure too bad he declared philosophic ally the society of the senorita would have been most agreeable and profit able too but it was not to be to horse 1 he commanded bis tatterdema lion follower vamanoa lei us gol muttered imprecations followed the group a they rode cut of the village with the doctor in their midst the villager were thoroughly cowed how ever and dared not protest meanwhile virginia reached home in safety and fearfully told her rather of the capture a few days later a note arrived from si lobo demanding the immediate payment of twentyfive thou sand dollars as the price of his captives release knowing that bargaining was expect ed mr qnowden felt bound to hold down the expense co his company to the lowest possible figure he countered with an offer of five thousand negotiations progressed at a snails pace true to his proresslonal instincts the young doctor labored to better the lot of the miserable women and children in he wretched camp of the bandits finding that one undernourished little boy with a clubfoot wa the only son of the chief himself maynard made bold to approach e lobo with suggestions for the child cure at first the bandit leader refused to listen hut at length the doctor broke down his hostility eventually he learned the story caribbean cane the company which had rarmctly employed rodriguez pro vided no medical cure for woaxcrs romillefi maynard knew bitter with resentment at his tnablllt to secure treatment for his crippled child and unable to finance a trip elsewhere for treatment the puerto rican had turned upon his employers and commenced the radical propaganda which resulted in his dismissal i always suspicious the rather dl trusted maynard you north toncrl cans he exclaimed are all alike you profess on interest in my baby only be cause yuu hope that i may- set you free seeing the usclessness of argument maynard desisted el lobo was becoming impatient hi was partlcularl angered at the small sum oflered for the young doctors re lease i think we send another letur he rasped one morning maybe we send a finger from you with it eh then tltej know i mean business i conformng to u custom of the coun try el lobo supplemented the pearl handled nickelplated revolver which was his prldt with a broadbladed i curved machete this he carried slung from his waist unsheathed the do minloan peon is seldom without this great knife which takes the place of i half a dozen different tools in an im- ergenc it also makes a formidable weapon this implement proved the wolfs undoing t riding at bis customary gallop later that day xi dobo took a violent fan when his horse sfrirnblftn thrown against the sharp edge of his own machete as he struck the ground he received a terrible out across the thigh his followers brought the sorelystrick en leader into camp maynard was summoned prom the way blood spurted from the wound he knew an artery was severed he ripped off the mans trouser leg snd applied a hurriedly lashioned tourni quet ilodrigues maynard said bluntly if that leg doesnt get proper attention infection will set in and you will die youll have to go to the hospital so you can send me to jan eh you like to see me shot for being a bandit maynard restrained his impatience with an effort i have just prevented your death he reminded oome when you are well enough to leave the hospital i promise youll be permitted to go when and where you wish more than that well fatten up that boy of yours and cure his bad foot i believe mr snowden will give you a job at tropical if you want it further argument followed but in the end the puerto rican was convinced that maynard was not tricking him arrived at the company hospital the repentant outlaw wa made comfortable and given treatment following an explanation to dr lind- ley maynard and bis senior talked with mr snowden the resident manager agreed that the promises made to b lobo should be fulfilled provision was also made for those or his followers who desired to work when all was settled mr snowden turned to his assistant with a twinkle tn his eye there a young lady over at our house who was very glad indeed to know of your safe return i believe she would be interested in heating the story i a few days later doctor lindlcy called his assistant into his office my plan for a hospital is going through at once he said mr snow says caribbean and oil the others have agreed your little

where are you speaking from now a oneman war against the pest of the highways the motorist who on the slightest prenraeatlon makes bedlam with his horn was declared waged and won the other day by a farmer on the ather- r bridge near orlula the farmer seated on s manure spreader was driving his team across the bridge he was driving slowly he had to the load was heavy and his team was not built for speed the motorist driving to a datallng sport coupe of expensive make flashed into sight snd snorted to an unwilling crawl behmd nun onconuhg traffic made passing impossible the motorotf honked his horn impatiently the farmer did the only thing he could do he kept on driving neither faster nor slower but at the same even pace the motorist sounded his horn again the farmer waved his hand to indicate he would turn out as soon as possible that wasnt enough for the man tn the pretty automobile he honked again he lost his temper he kept on honkimr it was then that war was declared the rarmer lost his tmrer too he put his hand to the lever tha- li fixed to the side or all manure s it operates a geardriven series of rollers which drag the manure to the back of the wagon and into tlie maw of tcvoiv big paddlelike blades which scatter the stuff in all directions the farmer pulled the lever the roller rolled the blades revolved the honkrng of the horn became a frantic wail as motorist snd motor car disappeared in a reeking cloud still the farmer dldnt look back he just kept on driving just kept on keeping the roller railing and the blades revolving the cloud kept growing the horn stopped sounding the coupe stalled a very dapper little man sprang out of the spattered mochne and raced up to the placid agriculturist on the manure spreader listen here you he began friend broke in
