On the night before the operation Doctor Klein entered his patient's room and sat by his bed. “You are re- solved to take the chance of it?” he asked. | His steel-gray eyes were fixed un- | waveringly upon thosc of the cripple beneath the sheets. The cripple smiled back at him as frankly. “Perfectly,” he murmured. “My chance 18, I understand, on the whole favorable. You say I am the fourth who has risked this? “The fifth,” answered the great sur- geon composedly. “And two of them died?” *0, dear, no. Well, yes, two died, but one of these would have died any- way from other causes. In his case death was & merciful release. I am firmly convinced that you will get up as straight as | am.” u ! | scribe the details of his famous oper- ation which was to cure the hunch- back. The pressure of the vertebrae upon the spinal cord must be re moved, the dietorted hones reset and held In a cast; it was perfectly feas- ible, but because the slightest slip of the scalpel would mean paralysis and a lingering death no other surgeon dared attempt it, “And I suppose,” the surgeon ended, smiling kindly, “that there is, as usual, a woman in the case.” The hunchback’s eyes lit up. “I'll tell you, Doctor Klcin,” he said, “for you have been my best friend in the world. Yes-—there is & woman in the case. “l haven't burdened you with my | early history, but 1 may as well say in my youth enjoycd the advantages of an excellent education.

She stopped. ‘Because of my deform- 11ty I answered bitterly. She made no answer but went out of the room. “But when | met HKsther Garvin things were different. She made me ! forget my Iniirmity.
