I was surprised at my- self that I did not &t once reply with & passionate afirmative. Surely I had suffered enough from my husband’'s inexplicable abandonment of me to welcome his return at any time. Ah! there was the root of the whole thing. I had suffered, how I had suf- fered at Dicky’s hands! As my memory ran back through our stormy ‘married life, I wondered whether it ‘were wise, even though it should be proved to me that Dicky had not gone away with Grace Draper, to take up life with my husband again. And then, woman-like, all ths bitter recollections . were shut out. by other memories which came thronging into my brain, memories aof ‘Dicky’s royal | ten@erness when he was not in bad humor,of his voice, his amile, his lips, his arms around me— I knew,. al- though my reason dreaded the know- ledge, that unless my husband came back to me I should never know happiness more. T opened my eyes and looked steadi- ly at the young physician: “Yes, Gad help me, I do!” I njd passionately. Dr, Pettit winced as if I had struck him.. Then he said gravely: ‘“Thank you for your honesty, and believe that if there be any way in which I can serve you, I shall not hesitate to take it.” “I am eure of that,” I replied ear- nestly, and the next moment, without & farewsll glance, a touch of my hand, He went over to Katherine and in a voice very different in volume than the suppressed tones of his conveysa- tion to me, I heard him apologize to her for ha to go away at once, heard her lauphing reply that after the French hospitals she did not fear the New York streets, and then the door closed after the young physician, ‘whose tao-evident interest in me had always disturbed me. I hastened to join K Lillan and Katherine. I did not want to be left alone. Thinking was too painful. “Pm Rather Arnxious.” “Just think!* Katherine said as I joined them, “I find that I'm living m State of Ohlo, City of Tole! ”we Toledo, 8 I Mm-n Decem- l;‘rm’ D, 18 A.w.m &-ld I Hall's lby !‘:mlly NEW BRITAIN CHILDREN NOT. AT FAULT Mothers Are Careless. | \ Children are not to blame cross, feverish, not eating right, sleep- less, mervous and all out of sorts. If mothers are on the job and notice the ‘when little danger signals, they will find the tongue coated amd the breath hot and bad, a sure sign of overworked and loaded acid stomachs, indigestion and clogged intestines. This condition can be stapped in a few hours with & good dose of a eim- ple ol remedy that has been handed only a block away. I'm at my old rooming place—luckily they had a vacant room. Of course I shall be fearfully busy with Dr. Braithwaite's work, but being so near I can spend every spare minute with you—that is if you want me,” she added shyly. “What you, child!” I returned, and 1 think the emphasis h’ my voice re- assured her, for she !flushed with pleasure, and the next minute with embarrassment as I sald pointedly: “I imagine you have some unusually interesting and pleasant things to tell me, especially about my cousin.” But, after all, it was left for Jack himself to tell me the “interesting things.” once sg absorbed in the work for Dr. Braithwailte that 'she had very little time to Spend with us. There was another reason for her absence, of which she spoke half-apologetically one night about a week after her ar- rival. “There's a girl in the room next to mine who keeps me awake by, her moaning,” she said. “I don’t get half enough sleep, and the result is that when I get in from my work I'm so dead tired I tumble into bed instead of coming over here, as I'm longing to do. The housekeeper says she's a student of some kind ,and that she's really {1l enough to need a physician, although she goes to her school or work each morning. I've only caught glimpses of her, but she strikes me as being rather a stunning-looking creature. I wish she’d moan in the daytime though. Some night I'm going in there and give her a sleep- ing pawder. “Joking aside, I'm rather anxious about her. Whatever is the matter with her, physical or mental, it's a real trouble, and I wish I could help her.” ‘The real Katherine Sonnot spoke in the hh\t sentence. Like many nurses she had a superficial lightness of manner behind which she often oonocealed the wonderful sympathy with and understanding for suffering which was hers. I knew that if the poor unknown sufferer needed aid or friendship she would receive both from Katherine. After Many Days. It was shortly after this talk that I noticed the extraordinary intimacy which seemed to have sprung up be- tween Katherine and Lilljan. I seemed to be quite set aside, almost forgotten, when Katherine came to the apartment. And there was such an air of mystery about their conver- sation! If they were talking together and I came within hearing they either abruptly stopped speaking, or shifted | the subject. I was just childish and weak enough from my iliness to be a trifle chagrined at being o left out, and I was afrald my chagrin amounted slmost to sulkiness sometimes, IAlllan and Katherine, however, ap- peared to notice nothing, and their mysterious conferences increased in number as the days went on. There came a day at last when my morbidness had increased to such an’ extent that I felt there was nothing' more in the world for me and that there was no one to care what became of me. I was huddled in ome of Lillian’s big chairs before the fireplace in the living room, drearily watching the flames, through eyes almost too dim with tears to see them. I could hear the murmur of voices in the hall where Katherine and IAllian had been standing ever since Katherine’s arrival a few minutes be- fore. Then the voices grew louder, there was a rush of feet to the door, & “Hush!” from Lillian, and then, pale, emaciated, showing the effects of the terrible ordeal through which he had gone, my brother-cousin, Jack ‘Bick -‘who, until Katherine came home, /T had thought was dead—stood before me.
