Reeve, Arthur B. (Arthur Benjamin), 1880-1936

"The Dream Doctor"


From a batch of letters that had accumulated in the litter on the
top of his desk, he selected one and glanced over it hurriedly.
"For instance," he went on reflectively, "here's a letter from a
Constant Reader who asks, 'Is this Professor Craig Kennedy really
all that you say he is, and, if so, how can I find out about his
new scientific detective method?'"
He paused and tipped back his chair.
"Now, I don't want to file these letters in the waste basket. When
people write letters to a newspaper, it means something. I might
reply, in this case, that he is as real as science, as real as the
fight of society against the criminal. But I want to do more than
that."
The editor had risen, as if shaking himself momentarily loose from
the ordinary routine of the office.
"You get me?" he went on, enthusiastically, "In other words, your
assignment, Jameson, for the next month is to do nothing except
follow your friend Kennedy. Start in right now, on the first, and
cross-section out of his life just one month, an average month.
