THE COUNTRY DOCTOR ‘RESPECTED BY ALL*
“ . . . with purity and holiness will I pass my life
and practice ray art . . . into whatever houses I en-
ter I will go for the advantage of the sick and I will
abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and cor-
ruption. . . . While 1 continue to keep this oath in-
violate may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the
practice of my art respected always by all men ...”
* e a
li is not likely that Dr. A. R. Dafoe thought of those
words from the ancient Hippocratic oath of his profession
when he turned his little car through the dim dawning
from his neat warm brick home at Callander to the shab-
by house at Corbeil w’here a prodigy awaited him:
Quintuplet baby sisters!
It is not likely that he has thought of them often at
all since the day many years ago at Toronto wjien he took
the oath to minister unselfishly to the sick and the suf-
fering.
“Respected always by all men ...” They say up
there in the backwoods Ontario neighborhood where Dr.
Dafoe has practiced medicine for 28 years that he has
earned 50 times over every penny he has been able to col-
lect.
His patients are poor most of them never calling the
doctor until the last minute or at all if they think they
have a chance to ride through without him.
Yet Dr. Dafoe's pockets are stuffed with letters from
medical men of the cities wanting to know details of the j
one-in-a-million case of the Dionne’quintuplets. Note
how this stocky bluff and hearty man almost forced his j
attendance on father Dionne when he sawf it was needed.
Note the gruff warning to Dionne that “he’d better j
get a hired girl or start making arrangements for a new I
wife.”
Note the 4 a. m. trip of Dr. Dafoe to the Dionne home
the calm way in which he relieved the trembling midwife
when a third baby had been born and two more were yet j
to come.
Note the untroubled way in which this counfry doctor
regarded the whole thing as just another case in his long
succession of 1500 childbirths- how with a kindly dictator-
ship over the household and its visitors he kept life in the
five infants by old-fashioned methods and homespun fa-
cilities. And how he proposes to charge Dionne $3 a
child—$15 for the most famous medical case in years his
usual fee for delivery of one child.
It is good indeed to look upon Dr. Dafoe a medico
of the old school who saw his duty and did it and who
would only snort at the suggestion that there was any-1
thing extr ordinary about that.
Worthy successor to a long line of worthy physicians
“respected always by all men.”
ENGLAND’S MAN HUNT
England had a great manhunt of her own not long
ago. A desperate gunman was in flight just as desper-
ate gunmen have been in flight in the United States every
so often: and all the powers of England’s police set out
after him.
They trapped him finally and seeing capture cer-
tain he killed himself.
Now the interesting thing is to see what it was this
fearsome thug had done. He had shot and wounded a
policeman! To he sure the wound was not serious. Never-
theless. the shooting had taken place- and the sensation
that gripped all England was quite as great as the one
that Clyde Barrow in the United States.
The comparison between what it takes to make a
sensation in England and in America is bound to be rather
painful to law-abiding citizens of the United States'.

ALIBI—Life is just one darned
thing after another for Mrs. Roose-

Reedsville W. Va.
First the House rudely upset her
plan to build a factory there in
which the subsistence homestead-
ers were to have made past office
lock-boxes. Now Comptroller Gen.
McCarls oflice Is holding up pay-
ment of the contractor who erected
ihe first 50 pre-fabricated houses.
McCsrl is demanding to know why
a penalty clause wasn't invoked on
the contractor because the houses
weren’t set up on scheduled date
and the Subsistence Homesteads Di-
vision is explaining it was due to
"an act of God.”
The alibi is that West Virginia
experienced such a bad winter the
PWA workers couldn’t get the foun-

tor to start work.

NEW YORK
By James McMuilin
fcWAr—You can credit General
Johnson with the putout in indue-
.up the steel industry to accept a
»*rfcial mediation board. But don’t
•' erlook assists for Donald Rich-
berg Eugene Grace and the motoi
magnates.
The background of the negotia-
tions was a subrose swap of soma
importance. Insiders tell of an of-
fw to bury the Wagner labor bill—
at least for this session of congreos
—.n exchange for the steel leaders
assent to the mediation board plan
The bait was worth while. Th«
Wagner bill—even in emasculated
foim—remains a Grade A bogey to
industry and its demise would bring
fct artfelt cheers.
Whether the swap works out de-
pends on the ability of those who
: iade the offcj to deliver the goods.
Tne informed say that Johnson
nch berg and Senator Walsh oi
Massachusetts will do their part
Senator Wagner and Secretary
Pci kina emphatically w*re not in-
volved The president—as usual-
wui have the fmal say. A quiet
White House tip that the bill is
off the tmfst list would do the
trick.
Interested New Yorker* have
thought *11 along the Wagner MU
was revived chiefly for hoes-trading
purposes. The steel maneuvers help
confirm their hopes. They hint the
government Is friendUer to the
industrial viewpoint in this case
Ulan it can afford to appear out-
watdly.
...
LEADERS — Eugene Grace —ot
nethlehem Steel—rates his assist
for services in swinging the steel
leaders into a frame of mind favor-
able to concessions.
When the storm first broke Tom
Gudler of Republic and E. T. Weir
oL National just about ran the show.
Both were confirmed bitter-enders
—dead set against yielding an inch.
The big companies—U. S. Stee^ and
Bethlehem—were even then willing
to talk things over. But having
just been stepped on by the Dar-
iow Board for dominating the in-
dustry tb-r chose to remain In ;he
background and let the smaUer
:i mpames have their say. Also they
thought it wiser to yield their
ureference for negotiations than
to risk a split in the industry’s
.m’ted front towards labor.
As the crisis developed it became
clear that the Girlder-Weir lead-
ership wras steering for a brick wall
—and the collision might be pain-
ful. Somebody had to grab the
wheel. Myron Taylor—the logical
.man to do it—was abroad W. A
Irvin—pinch-hitting for Taylor—
didn’t carry enough weight. So
Grace quietly stepped in and eased i
the industry away from a head-on
crash.
• • •
MOTORS—Where do the motor
people fit In? They have been
warmly interested from two angles.
They didn't like the chance that
one of their primary sources of ma-
terial might get choked up indef-
initely and they were keen to see
the Wagner bill killed off by the
mediation board deal.
Qo they worked hard to convince
their steel associates that media
tton board medicine doesn't fcaaU
nearly so bad aa It looks. They
should know insiders hint they
even volunteered to lend Leo Wol-
man % neutral chairman of the
proposed steel board.
• • •
NEUTRAL — This question of
who's to be the neutral chairman
has been a vital Issue m the gov-
ernment-steel debate. Most steel
executives have favored Wolman
and some have felt that no one else
would do. But Wolman* choice
might block labor acceptance. He
believes that labor should make
haste slowly and his application of
that principle In his Detroit job
has alienated labor affections he
formerly held.
It's possible that Donald Rich-
berg might fill the bill. He's a dif-
ferent type from Wolman—more in
a hurry to get things done. Labor
would probably be less suspicious of
him. At the same time his backstage
work in negotiations to date has
erased industry's fear of him as a
“dangerous radical.’*
• • •
ROCKS—Keen local observers say
final settlement hinges on indus-
try's acceptance of an Amalgamat-
ed Union representative as a mem-
ber of the mediation board. Bitter-
enders on both sides will make the
most of this argument and may still
run a careful compromise on the
rocks.
• • •
OIL—Labor's next move in the
oil game will probably be an ef-
fort to capture one or more of the
middle-Msed companies like Barns-
all. Skelly or Pure Oil.
The big fellows are on their guard
since Sinclair surrendered and or-
ganizers will find them tougher tar-
gets. Insiders say the Sinclair suc-
cess hasn't gone to the Federation's
head and it will play the future (
sale rather than risk a setback that
might offset its dramatic gain.
• • •
Mac! ADDEN—New York hears
that Bemarr MacFadden would
like to be chairman of the new fed- j
eral aviation commission. The pub-
lisher of “Babies Just Babies" which |
Mrs. Roosevelt used to edit Is a fly-!
lng enthusiast and it's understood
he's been In close touch with the!
air mail picture.
Local Insiders greet these reports
with the comment- “Nothing is im
possible In Washington." But they
go on doping their own slates.
• • •
SLATE—Best informed opinion
names Charles Lawrence as prob-
ably FAC chairman. Max Gardner.
Clarence Young. Carroll Cone and a
Po6t Office man complete the selec-
tions. Lawrence lacks national
prominence but is well known to
aviation circles. He pioneered the
radical air-cooled engine and has
been a leader In aircraft develop-
ment as former engineering head of
Wright Aeronautical.
New York rates Newton D Bak-
er the best man for the chairman-
ship. But it’s thought his present
job with the Army Air Corps In-
vestigation eliminates him.
• • •
SIDELIGHTS—Local republican
Insider* say Henry p. Fletcher’s job
will be to get money—not votes ...
For all (he anti-New Deal talk here
that may not be so simple ... Hu
choice was a triumph for Ogden
Mills ... Thomas N. McCarter-
head of Public Service of New Jersey
and new president of Edison In-
stitute—has a reputation for speak-
ing hi* mind ... Utility opposition
to lower rates and further regula-
tion Is likely to be more vocal from
now on.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXVIII *
IN his first anger over Con’s cal
lousness and the shock of Made
line’s death Renfroe had meant
what he said when he dismissed
the snimal trainer. Soon however. |
showmanship dominated sentiment
and after three performances with-
out Con’s animal act Renfroe had
reason to repent his hasty action
He therefore sent word for Con
lo return.
A message from the hotel where
the animal trainer had stayed
brought the information that be
had checked out Immediately after
his wife’s funeral and that he bad
left no forwarding address.
Renfroe made a round of the ho-
tels but could find no trace of the
performer. When the circus left
New Orleans therefore. It depart-
ed minus several Hons Mgers and
thoir trainer.
A period of rainy weather set In.
Everyone in the troupe was down-
cast and ridden with the supersti-
tion tbst bad luck was hounding
the show. Since expenses were eat-
ing up ail profit and there were
only a few more dates to be played
before closing for the winter. Ren-
froe posted a notice that these en-
gagements had been cancelled.
Hence the circus did not reach
Montgomery and Con failed to re-
ceive the letter Donna sent there.
Though Con bad managed to
elude Renfroe. be was still In New
Orleans. He had become a victim I
of remorse finding (now that she
was deed) that he had really cared
for the girl who had given him
her whole-hearted devotion.
He had checked out of the hotel
where he and Madeline had stayed
because the walls seemed to echo i
his dead wife’s voice and he could
see her hi the shadows and in ev- i
cry hallway. Always she looked
ss she had that last night—white-
faced and terrified about to enter
the cage with the tigress. Over
and over again Con could hear Ren-
froe’s accusation. “Yon killed her!”
o o o
ITK knew that It was true. R
had been nothing more than a
desire to pnnlsh Madeline for her
past folly that had impelled him to
force her to go through the act
alone with Lucy.
Moving away from the hotel be
soon found could not erase the
memories that haunted him. He
thought of Madeline as she had
>een on the motor trip to New Or-
eans. laughing and gay. She bad
said "If ws could only go on like
this forever!" and be bad answered
curtly. There had been other
time* like that and remorse for
it overwhelmed him. now that it
was too late.
Temperamental with but little
sentiment in his nature. Con was
still not quite so hard hearted or
callous of feelings as he bad ap-
peared. Consequently he suffered.
Because he had never been a dis-
sipated man. a small amount of
liquor intoxicated him. He found
that by drinking be could forget
and from the time he settled into
a boarding house that had once
been a stately mansion until be left
the city he did not draw a com
pletely sober breath.
The little Creole woman who
owned the boarding bouse and
called her establishment “a home
for paying guests" pitied him from
the depths of her sentimental
heart She made overtures of
friendliness which Con Ignored and
she murmured often "Such a pity!
He's going to the dogs and who
can blame him? So young to lose
his wife that way! They were
little more than bride and groom."
There were days on end when
Con did not appear in the shabby
genteel dining room when he ate
what food be wanted from "hot
dog” wagons or munched tamales
that he bought on the streets.
There were nights when bleary-
eyed and uncertain in his walk ho
wandered along the river bank un-
til overcome by exhaustion he
would fling himself upon the levee
and sleep there wntU daylight
awakened him.

f\NCE so immaculate in his ap-
^ pearance so clean shaven and
handsome. Con looked now like a
beach comber and Mrs La Luer
for all her sympathy began to
think that she would have to ask
him to leave her boarding house.
Then one day a glimpse of his
unshaven cheeks his paaty-hued
skin and hollow eyes Jerked Con
back to sanity. He paid his bills
packed his trunks and took the
first train for Chicago.
On the long trip be took stock
of his possessions. He had a lit-
tle money but funeral expenses
and days of dissipation had eaten
a large bole in his wallet. Obvi-
ously be could not remain In Chi-
cago all winter with nothing to
do. An engagement In "big time”
vaudeville was out of the question
now. R was not that there were
many performers with a better act
than his—even minus Madeline and
the tigress—but the time when
booking! should have been made
was now past. Con had spent It
idling shout Now Orleans.
He landed in Chicago during a
snow storm and promptly was
taken down with a severe attack
of grippe. It left him with a cough
and a feeling of complete fatigue
that made him postpone dally any
attempt to go to work.
Ordinarily he had found vaude-
ville bookings easy to secure but
for some reason there seemed to
be very few theater managers who
were willing to pay the price Con
was obliged to demand for his act
This. Con assured himself must be
due to the fact that JUntroe had
spread the news that be was tem-
peramental and difficult to handle
and that he had walked oat oa the
circus.
Business was not good “J ' [
agents told him. Pictures di
better than vaudeville and a g
single did as much to fill a house
as au animal act. which an tailed
much greater expense. Con’s act
they said belonged in a circus any-
way where there were facilities
for taking care of the animals.
Perhaps bad conditions been dif-
ferent be would not have given
Amos Siddal and his farm so much
as a thought but after several days
of vain attempts to find employ-
ment it occurred to the animal
trainer that there should be a wel-
come for Madeline's husband at
the farm. It would also be cheaper
to recuperate there from bis 111-
nees.

TJESIDKS that he could see Don-
na again. This idea intrigued
Con. He could see how she and
her farmer husband were making
out Probably she would not offer
him a very cordial welcome. On
the other hand she might be bored
by this time with the life she had
been leading. If that were true she
would receive her oM friend with
open arms.
Con know how Madeline and Don-
na had hoodwinked Amoa Siddal
by exchanging identities. Now he
decided that onless she had ad-
mitted the truth to the family. It
was high time she should ba com-
pelled to do so. When Grandfa-
ther Siddal died the fortune he
left to his grandchild would by
rights belong to Madeline’s bus-
band.
Thus Coo reasoned himself Into
a frame of mind that sent him to
a ticket agency to buy a ticket to
Lebanon. There was no use he
decided to send word to the farm
that he was coming. He wanted
to get the lay of the land befose
be walked tn on them.
He was not conscious of any da-
side to injure Donna aa he made
these plans. If anyone were to
suffer Con thought it would be
her husband. Embittered by the
many blows he had received In
the past few months. Con centered
his rancor on the man who he
felt had robbed him of the only
woman bo had ever really loved.
That Donna had never cared for
him did not matter or the tact
that if the blame lay at anyone's
door. It lay at Madellet’s.
Con argued that Donna had mar-
ried someone else and because of
this the whole structure of bis fu-
ture had fallen.
Some men become big with ad-
versity. develop muscles of charao-
ter and principles but Con David
shriveled and lost the decency that
had earried him far in bis chosen
profession.
On the trip to Lebanon ha
▼Isioned himself as Donna’s hus-
band and tbs master of the Sid-
dal property. He aaw BUI Siddal
gnawing his lip with chagrin and
eating his heart out with disap-
pointment This ptctnra seemed to
please Con mightily.
