NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XV 66YQ7HAT'D you hit?” The traffic officer rapped out the question abruptly when he again reached Helen's ‘Any- one hurt besides that girl? Helen said faintly, “I ran up a bank and broke through a fence.” Helen fumbled in her bag and got out the slip of paper. The officer examincd it and made a note of the number of the license plates on her car, He asked a few more questions and Helen answered them as ac- curately as she could in her over- wrought condition, Suddenly, while he jotted down some answer she had given him, she burst out with an appeal to be allowed to go on to the hospital. “We'll be takin’ a trip to the station first,” he replied curtly. “But I want to do something for that girl!” Helen protested. “Plenty of time for that,” he told her and stepped on the running board. “Can you drive all right?” Helen nodded and started the motor, “It's only a few blocks,” the off- cer said, softening a trific over her courageous effort to fact the music without whimpering, Helen went through the next halt an hour in a daze. Questions, ques- tions, questions. They wearied her. llcr mind was with the girl she had hurt. Where was she now? On the operating table? Dead? ee 6*PLEASE,” she begged at last, without answering the latest question put to her, “call up the hospital and find out how she is.” “We'll have to do that,” the sergeant at the desk informed her, “before we can decide what to do about you. By your own admission, Miss Brent, you are guilty of reck- less driving.’ “Then please do it at once,” Helen entreated, A few minutes Tater she breathed more freely. Word had come back from the hospital that the injured girl was not fatally hurt. “Let me go to see her,” Helen pleaded. This time she was not refused, though an officer was sent to ac- company her lest she be unable to arive safely, At the hospital they were ad- mitted into a ward where the girl, whose mame they were told was Exhibit Clothing at Alexander Corn Show demnation, Street Eva Ennis, lay unconscious upon @ narrow cot. Helen felt remorse as painful as 8 blow struck at her heart when she beheld that white, drawn face again, It seemed so small and pit- itul—like a suffering child’s—and the brown hair lay in @ babyish way on the pallid forehead that added to the impression of youth: fulness, Helen’s eyes sought the nurse's glance in mute appeal. “She regained consciousness for a few minutes,” the nurse told her. “Is she badly hurt?” “We cannot know until Dr. Park- ley arrives. There are no broken bones. Our examination found no external injuries except a few bruises.” Helen tore her gaze away from the girl’s face and looked about her. “Haven't you @ private room?” she asked. “There will be one available at four o'clock.” “I'd like to engage it,” Helen said, “for Miss Ennis.” “You can make arrangements for it with Miss Sibley at the desk in the reception room,” the nurse told her. ELEN had waited in an agony of suspense to hear Dr. Parkley's verdict. She had re- ceived it as soon as possible but there had been a period in which she felt forgotten. That feeling was sxept avay when the verdict came. It was favorable and Helen was relieved of the greatest fear she'd ever known—the fear of hav- ing caused the death of another human being, She was eager to show her relief and gratitude to a kind fate, in every way. she could. She engaged two private nurses for Eva and in- structed that no expense be sparcd to assure her comfort. ‘The hospital authorities called up Bramblewood at Helen's request and received Mr. Cunningham's ap- Proval of whnt Helen had done.

I'm going to Miss Ennis’ mother and tell her what has hap- pened. “Nonsense; we will send someone else.” “No, no,” Helen objected; must go myself.” “Very well, but I shall worry until you return.” Helen left the telephone to go back and sit beside Eva's bed until the girl able to talk rationally to her. Her eyes searched the pain- swept face unceasingly for signs of an end to the girl's suffering. ler presence puzzled Eva until Helen, reaching out and placing a hand lightly on one of hers, said with a real anguish of remorse, “I burt you, you know. And I'll be sorry all my life.” Eva essayed to smile. “I'm afraid you can’t go home for a while yet,” Helen hurried on; “but I’m going to fetch your moth- er if you will tell me where you live.” Eva's eyes filled with grateful tears, She forgot that Helen had caused her trouble. She wanted the comforting arms of her mother. She gave Helen the address and Helen promised to be back as soon as possible. eee BREST did not accompany Helen in her thoughts on the drive to the Ennis house. She resolutely put him aside to face the realiza- tion of having brought harm to an innocent person because of her in- dulgence of eelfish feelings. Her sense of guilt made her specially considerate when she was admitted by Mys. Ennis into an old- fashioned house. Helen was instantly impressed with the pleasant matronliness of Baldwin Farmer Who Had Leg Broken May ease During September While Trucks Drop [SIDE GLANCES - - - - By George Clark | GASREFUNDING LAW “What happened,” he said quietly, tensely, “*to my sister 2" Eva's mother. And with the odor of spicy cooking that permeated the house, “How am I going to tell her?” Helen asked herself in suddenly deepening reluctance to break her news, “My name is Helen . . . Brent,” she said when Mrs. Ennis moved forward @ ehair for her. “I have come on an unhappy errand.” Mrs. Ennis looked worried. “You sit down,” Helen said im- pulsively, motioning to the chair that was offered her. Mrs. Ennis mechanically seated herself, fecling a premonition of trouble. “What is it?” she said quaveringly. “It’s about your daughter,” Helen answered gently. “Eva!” Mrs, Ennis cried; “what has happened to her? Oh, tell me, tell me!” Helen could not stop to think of a way to soften the blow in the face of the mother’s suspense. “She t with an accident,” she sald slowly “she isn’t badly hurt, but she wants you.” “Where is she? Take me to her!” “She's in the Good Shepherd Hospital,” Helen replied. “T'll take you there at once, in my car.” “I'll get my things,” Mrs. Ennis cried, turning toward the coor to the hall, Just as she reached it Helen heard the front door open and close again, and Mrs. Ennis cry: “Bob! Bob! Eva's been hurt!” “Mom!” It was a heartfelt pro- test, and it came straight to Helen and clawed at her conscience like a demon. She saw the mother go into @ pair of masculine arms and cling there for a moment, sobbing uncontrollably. “Tell me about it,” she heard the man called Bob say. “I don't know how it happened; I'm going to the hospital.
