He gets a room at the Red Horse Hotel and to while away the time joins in a faro game, winning all the money in sight. Bland, the gambler, and his assistants, Jack and Bill, hate to think of the doctor getting away with so much cash, so they conspire with the hotel keeper to drug Watson's drink, intending to rob him later. The doctor, however, only pretends to drink the doped liquor, and when the gambler attacks him in his room he overpowers him with his hypodermic needle and succeeds in escaping from the hotel, pursued by Jack and Bill. Watson finds refuge in the cottage of Granby, the section boss whom he has doctored. Already he has become much interested in his patient's pretty daughter, May. That night, in an attack upon the cottage by Watson's enemies, the gambler's accomplices, May is instrumental in saving the doctor's life. The rest of the story is eloquently implied.
