He was crushed under his auto. His wife has been notified.” The house surecon nodded his head. He knew Reynolds. He had loved Reynolds’s wife for three years befote their marriage. The engagement had been broken off hecause of a foolish jquarrel, and Lilllan Reynolds and the house surgeon had never mct since that date- save once. That was by chunuce, in a secluded part of the park. They came face to face a year afier Lillian's murriage. The house o knew what was common tu e warriage had been a hideo re, that Lillian's life was & liv martyrdom. TUn nerved by the moeting they bad for gotten everyt o their love for \ “Thanik You, C'l each other. i drew toxether and, betore eith . 1 wi they were |doing, they v L cich other's arw and their 1 ( Then lizattion drew apart. ‘The house ¢ the loo trror ou the woman's face.

He had beard of the accident and had hurried to the sceuc, too late to intervene. : Revnolds’s strength was failing. It would have been impossible to com- plete the operation properly now. The man had to be taken off the table as soon as possible. The house surgeon sewed up the external wound as swiftly as possible—roughly, almost. He had just two minutes in which to get Reyonlds back to his stretcher. “Finely done, sir,” said the cmelj gurgeon, when the operator had con:| uded. The house surgeon looked at him. He knew that the chief surgeon had seen everything. He wondered at his words. “If your patient lives,” sald the chief surgeon, “you will become the most faumous surgeon in this country. That process of cross-connection be. tween an artery and a vein will open an epoch in surgery.” The house surgeon went home. That J. P.

Put in the| morning, going to the hospital to wind ! up hi fairs, e was amazed to leurui that Reynolds was recovering. Unconsciously, unintentionally, the house surgeon had stumbled upon a revolutionary principle in medicine. It he had attempted to suture the rup- tured artery Reynolds would almost certainly have died. By a plece of clever legerdemain he had saved his life That day he met Lillian by the pa- tient's bedside. She rose and followed him outside the room. *“You have saved my husband’s life,” she said. The house surgeon bowed his head. He had nothing to say. “I think you are the noblest man 1 have ever met,” she continued. “It was wonderful.” She stretched out her hands impulsively. “O, I under- stand,” she said. “I know, I realize your feclings when he lay there be- fore you, practically dead. It was a temptation to which the best man might have yielded. But not you,” she said proudly. “I would never doubt you.” Stephen Reynolds got well and left the hospital in due course of time. And the house surgeon became one of the most famous surgeons of the day. His operation was repeated in every hespital in the land, and he was always summoned to oversce it until the techinic had became a common- place surgery. He was called abroad to hold high, honorable offices. And he carried his secret shame with him everywhere. The irony of it ate into his soul. He might have continued obscure and married Lillian.
