When a new automobile and some wonderful house furnishings arrived, Miss Cyrille Rushton, aged thirty, but passing for twenty-two, as the real leader of the real social set of Mayville, was said to brighten up at a chance to once more angle for a husband. When it was further announced that the young physician was philanthropically in- clined, Miss Breda Dorman, president of the Ladles’ Aid society, was in transports of anticipation and delight. The young doctor arrived, and he was not a disappointment. He was something more than handsome— earnest, affable and intellectual. He was pleased at the gracious attentions | of Miss Rushton, and it seemed to interest him to listen to the ceaseless chatter of Miss Dorman. High so-| clety shrugged its shoulders at his “free dispensary” ideas for the bene- fit of the poorer classes living over on the flats. Still, an exhibition of his skill in their own service caused him to be reccived as a fit successor to the old practitioner, Doctor Dall. The Ladies' Aid society held weekly meetings in an old store, which had been neatly fitted up for them. A Mrs, Fulton lived in apartments be- “Miss Lane!” He Exclaimed In Won- derment. hind, and kept watch and ward over the place. Miss Rughton had recently joined the circle, and Miss Dorman | bhad never been so active in her super- visory dutics. The society clothed the ragged, fed the poer and had done some free nursing-—Miss Dorman very little, however. She acted as the or- | nament of the group.

Miss Bates gave “It can't be possible that little no- ' body has ideas—" “About the doctor,” said Miss Mor- ton. “Oh, ridiculous.” Nettie finished her work somewhat a note from Doctor Eversley. It was addressed to the society. A conta- | gious sickness had broken out in a poor family without means or friends. | Could the society appoint some one | to give half a day for a week to day | nursing for two little children in the | talked of “volunteers.” The group gradually broke up and the doctor’s note recelved no reply. That afternoon Doctor Eversley's automobile stopped in front of the poor home where his services were so sorely needed. He was a trifle disap- pointed at receiving no recognition of his message, and had decided to enlist the sympathies of his sister. His knock brought a neat figure wearing nurse cap and apron to the door. “Miss Lane!" he exclaimed in won- derment. [ “Yes, it is 1,” Nettie smiled back. “A neighbor told me of this case, and 1 have so wished to see if I have the patience and skill to act the nurse.” . “You are an angel,” sald Doctor Eversley with heightened color as he ' Never had a poor family such royal | donations as those received by the one now under the care of Doctor I'versley as physician and Nettle Lane as nurse. Miss Rushton sent delica- ' ¢ies from her table every morning. ! The Ladies' Aid society invested all fts surplus funds in sheets, pillow cuases, comforters, an invalid chair and clothing. That dread word “contagious” made prectings on the street quite few and far between for the doctor. His sls- ter, however, was visited daily by the anxious young ladies, hoping the dear doctor was not overworking himself, | that the dreadful disease would not ! spread, and eager to learn the real ! sentiments of the Eversleys as to “poor Miss Lane, who was just cut " 1 When the truth got out that the | contaglous feature of the case did not | extend beyond light measles, Miss |} Rushton bit her lip and Miss Dorman : denounced Nettie as a schemer. “This is one of the great pleasures ‘ of a physician's life,” sald Doctor | as he and Nettle walked Nettie fully understood him. They | ! had found the poor home filled with squalor, illness and suffering. They | hid left it supplied with the comforts | of life and the inmates happy and hopeful. There came a day when Miss Rush- | | and Miss Dorman resigned from the | Ladies' Aid socle :ty. Two lines in the ! weekly announced an important en- gagement. | *“You see, my brol her is a very prac- i tical young man,” was the way Miss | Bversley explained the situation. “He thinks, as I do, that a good nurse ' makes a good doctor's wife.” (Copyrizht, by W, G.

The rest of the group were chattering and gossiping. Whenever Doctor Eversley's name | was mentioned, Nettle's eyes bright. ened with interest.
