There was much to be done. Orders from Doctor Newton came thick and fast and Betty found erat obeying them with a speed efficiency that would. have surprised her had there been time to sg — was no time = po coy Q rself, no time to be afraid, Then the doctor's voice called: ‘Nurse! Up front, please,” Nurse! He had recognized her efforts to the extent of calling her by that respected name, Nothing ike this had happened either during her hospital apprentice- ship or during Aunt Minniebelle’s illness. She was not entitled to it now, but her heart swelled with Sratitude at the thought that he had found her useful enough to bestow the courtesy title upon er. “Take little Eddie out to the car,” he said, passing the young- ster over to her. “Tell the kids to look after him. Tell ‘em they can forget about the Polishing job. Matter of fact, I forgot about them. They've probably rubbed all the paint off by this time.” As she started to leave the room with the child, he called after her, | “Hurry back, please. I’ll be need- ing you. Little Janet’s resting quietly now, but Mrs, Harper’s in labor. It would happen at a time like this.” There was no hint of impatience in his voice. It was clear that the last remark was not a complaint but a simple state- ment of fact. . AN HOUR later the Harper by another small son, bringing the total progeny up to six. By the time seven o'clock had rolled been fed huge bowls of warm cereal and Betty had added cook- ing and meal service to her list of extracurricular achievements. HER SECRET STAR and harassed Doctor Ne came into the. kitchen’ ; Betty was cleari supper first time “he dishes. For the’ Ge the seemed to be aware of her in- auspicious role in the afternoon's proceedings. “This is a terrible way to treat} a girl,” he said glumly. “Invite her out on a date—and then put her to work. Sorry, Betty. I told you I should have known than to plan a trip to the beach. If I had the sense God gave a half-wit, I'd leave dates alone.” Betty's smile was genuine, “ wish you wouldn’t apologize,” she said. “I'll admit it hasn’t been much of a picnic, but I haven't minded it. I’m glad I could help, inn as you didn’t plan it this He sat down in a kitchen chair and his whole body seemed to slump. It occurred to Betty that he was more than tired. There were worry lines in his forehead and the expression in his kindly gray eyes suggested defeat. Betty was instantly contrite. “There’s nothing wrong, is there?” she dsked uneasily. “But of course not. You're just tired, that’s all. I thought Mrs. Harper looked pretty good, considering.

It was obvious, however, that his concern was not for himself but for his smaHepas ° tient. In that moment of understand. ing all of Betty’s secret resent- : ment was forgotten. His impa- tience, his cavalier treatment of her throughout the busy after- ° noon, was understandable now. : - And his apologies regarding the. beach trip that hadn't come off. She felt that if he apologized once more and cited the fact that ' he should leave dates alone, she would scream. Presently he got up, saying, “Of course it’s too late for your ‘ beach trip.

The baby is as ugl fe sin, but a sturdy little Sessa if ever there was one. Mrs. Harper’s do- ing fine.” There was a brief pause; then he added: “It's the little girl, Janet, ’'m worried about.” His face clouded with something more than profes- sional anxiety. “It’s too early to tell, of course, but it looks like a rheumatic heart condition.
