Another newsman, who was Long Is- land editor of the.

Under the a of being friendly and meighborly they are snooping like mad to find out the whole truth.” The door was opened ‘to them by a plump little woman,, her dark eyes snapping, her manner self-important, “Oh. good morning, Mr. Prath- er.

JSABEL came so lightly into the room that he was not aware of her presence, until she spoke. “Good morning, Mr, Prather.” she said quietly. “I was expecting you. You want my. father’s keys, of course.” She turned towards a desk, but Hugh, puzzled, stopped ter and asked, “What would 1 want with your father’s keys, child?” save »just the three or four of us who already know should ever' know anything but “that your father destroyed, himself in a fit of temporary aberration.” _ “You—you mean you're not go- ing to broadcast — about — about the taverns, anc pered so faintly that he could barely catch the words. - “Of course not. child!

Sut I have been thinking, Mr. her.” she told him. There was a little color now, faint as a wild rose, in her smooth cheeks. “I read in the newspapers a few days ago that the women who have taken the Nurses’ Aide course with the ies Cross, and serve one ht an where they trained, are otible for service in army hospi I thought if I went down to Atlanta and took that course, and then served in a hospital there — I couldn't stay in River Gap. Mr. Prather, not now! — why, then, maybe. I could serve in a military hospital!” She looked up eagerly at Hugh, and he.said quickly. “I think that’s a swell idea.
