Chapter I. MEN FLEEING
THE thing that ailed the doctor was not a fainting spell.

It was around ten oтАЩclock when Dr. Samuel Harmony alighted from his limousine and instructed his
chauffeur to return at twelve with the car. Doctor Samuel Harmony entered his office, spoke cheerfully to
the receptionist, after noticing there were no patients waiting. He entered his private office and sat down
at his desk, where the morning newspaper was spread out for his perusal.

Ten minutes or so later, the receptionist entered to say there was a patient, and saw Dr. Samuel
Harmony sitting there at his desk, practically as white as a sheet of typewriter paper.

"Doctor!" gasped the receptionist. "WhatтАЩs wrong?"

For a while Dr. HarmonyтАЩs mouth acted like that of a fish out of water.

"I . . . I had a fainting spell," he finally managed to say.

The receptionist fluttered around, not knowing what to do. She wasnтАЩt very experienced.

"Do . . . do you want a drink of water, doctor?" she asked excitedly. "Shall I call a doctor?"

Dr. Harmony, very pale, clenched his fists on the top of his desk. He called the girl an ugly name.
"Get out of here!" he ordered.
