Chapter III
I had breakfast, looked up an address and drove off to see the girl of the cracked, treasured picture--the girl who, unknown to herself, had eased great loneliness, and strengthened frail courage. Dr. Buck Stamm was a veterinary. His home and place of business was just east of town, a pleasant old frame house with the animal hospital close by. Dogs made a vast clamor when I drove up. They were in individual runways beside the kennels.
