She smothed his hot brow and gave him cool water. Then delirium seized him, and for weeks he hovered between life and death, while Amy Norton, the head nurse, watched him as though he were her very own. In those endless days and. nights of physical anguish, when he could com- prehend only two conditions—pain and the absence of pain—Amy seemed to him a brooding Spirit of Deliverance. Always there, when he needed her, divining the cause of his discomfort and quick with measures of relief, she became in the highest sense a mother to this motherless waif. So the days passed, and gradually Teddy responded to the care of nurse and doctor and awoke to conscious- ness of things about him. His twisted arm wa’ almost restored to use; his crushed leg, though in a heavy plaster cast, was mending rapidly; but he complained of pain in his chest, where the engine wheels had broken the room> He was disinclined to eat, and daily his face became whiter and thin- ner, and his eyes bigger and blacker. It was Dr. Stone’s custom to meet ‘Amy in the operating room several times a week for consultation. One evening they talked of Teddy. ‘ihe doctor shook his head gravely. was a handsome, young man, with close-cut, dark mon at ae ae oe purpose—the rescue phan child—-their hearts beat together. “Can you not etimulate him some- how?” he asked. “He is very low, Any little: complication—a fever, even a cold—might end it all, He is too pas- sive. He does not care. He seems to be merely awaiting the end. We can- not get results under such conditions. It ig not now a case for medicine, There Christmas tree will you try to get well?” Teddy thought hard. “Guess that might be worth gettin’ well for,” he said with a sigh, “But he won't come, I hung up my stockin’ onct, an’ they wasn’t nothin’ in it.” It must have been a bitter disappointment, for the light faded from his eyes and the look of despair crept into his face. “Yes he will, Teddy. I'll send him word. I know he'll come Teddy, if you'll only get well. You know the, doctor and I are trying so hard to make you strong, but you must help. Medicine won't do it all. You must think about getting better, and try to eat and laugh and be happy. And the first thing you know all the pain will go away and you will be just as well as I am.” It was a large idea, and his little mind could not take it in easily. “How can you tell him where I am?” He was suspicious. “Why, I'll send him a letter.” “Couldn't you send him a telegram? It'd get there lots quicker.

But Amy reassured him, “Oh, Santa Claus likes the snow, He He's sure to get here We'll hang your stocking right here on the And then you must go to sleep early.” At eight o'clock she went off duty, Teddy didn’t get to sleep as directed, for excitement, but finally he fell into a deep slumber. His telegram in his hand, and his long black stocking hung in plain sight on the bedpost, All over the city, fathers and mothers were commencing their work of love, and Amy, tired though she was, began up Sho had no assistance, but she worked ‘ith strings of popcorn and cran , fancy bags of candy, brilliant glass balls, and showers of tinsel, Near midnight four strong men came from the lower ward, and Teddy's lit: tle iron bed, with Teddy sound asleep, was carried gently into the private room. Then she slipped away to her rest. It seemed to Amy that but a few minutes had elapsed when she was awakened by the alarm clock on her bureau, She arose, made a light, and vathed her face again and again in the cold water until she felt able to keep her eyes open, It was five o’clock— still dark. She entered Teddy’s room and turned on the electric light. He was leeping quietly. There was a step in ihe hall and the door opened.

At her desk she wrote a note to the manager of the telegraph company, and taking it to the front door dropped it in the let- ter box with a little prayer. Teddy's first words the next morn- ing were full of anticipation. “Got that wire yet?” Amy smiled reassur- ingly. “Oh, it’s too early, Wait till this afternoon.” He ate his breakfast with relish, and there was a new note in his voige when the doctor came in. But it was She did not try to speak, fearing that she would cry instead. “You have won a great victory over death,” he said. “The injuries are nothing now; he will recover. It is the desire to live that you have im- planted in him—that is the triumph.” Then, on sudden impulse, he put his arms about her. “Oh, Amy, Amy,” he said brokenly. “You have saved his life; will you not save mine, dear? Will you say yes? I cannot live with- out you.” ; gone eight months and when the case finaily came to trial and the man found that he had been paying the expenses of a detective for nearly a year he at- tempted to kill Miss Russell. Her ready use of a small pistol which she always carried saved her life. Miss Russell admits that for once her heart of “newsies” about Wall street. She acknowledges that in nearly all the divorce cases which fall to her share her sympathy is with the wife.
