His check to you | iped out most of his bank balance, and his income is just now a very nall one compared to what it has en. The bulk of his fortune, un- | fortunately, is invested in securities, which, because of the war, are prac- tically worthless now, although some of them may regain their value later on. But he will be compelled to re- trench his mode of living, and he has asked to be given work again in the | service, in whatever place they can | use him.” Oh, Dr. has very Petit!” I cried. “You 'DANCE.

Why, I thought he had | agreed to your verdict and that of the government physicians that his days | of service work, unless in an emer- gency consultation, were at an end!” “True,” the physician agreed. “But —he hadn’t then foreseen—'" “That his daughter, in supposedly comfortable circumstances, would | take his last cent away from him,” I | said bitterly. “Such a speech is hardly worthy of re- proof. “You ought to know that your | father is only too glad to aid you, and | that no sacrifice is too great for him to make if your welfare is at stake.” | “But he must not go back to the ! work!” I exclaimed passionately. “He's a broken-down old man. It would almost be suicide for him to take up work like that again.” “I think youre putting it too | strongly,” Dr. Petit replied. “Of course, it would be better for him if he weren't obliged to do it, but it will | not kill him, probably not even seri- ously injure him.” “But surely it’s unnecessary,” I protested. “In just a few weeks I| shall be able to go to work, and if | Dicky gets well as quickly as you pre- dict I shall be able to pay back to my | father out of my own money what he | has expended for me. Of course, I cannot pay it all back at once, but | he perhaps may not need it in that “It's Unthinkable.” As I spoke of going to work, Dr. | Petit uttered a muffled exclamation to which I paid no attention. Now he interrupted me ruthlessly, emphati- cally, “You! Go to work! It's unthinka- blel Neither your father nor your husband should permit it—will per- mit it—for an instant!” | I stared at him curiously. His words, I knew, were prompted by a | very renl regard for me, ‘a feeling | which longed to protect me from | hardship. But there was something | else behind his vehemence. As if a | curtain suddenly had been lifted from ! his soul I saw that Dicky’s objections | to any outside work for me, his flip- { ! pant opposition to any self-develop- | ment upon the part of a wife, were | like straws in the wind compared to | the granite of this man’ bigoted, old- | fashioned theories. I had a quick vi- | sion of the “doormat” life which would fall to the lot of Dr. Petit's | | wife if he should evr marry and my cheeks flushed with shame at the thought that sometimes I had unfav- orably contrasted Dicky's rudeness with the kindly, tender chivalry of | the young physician’s manner. “Nevertheless!” I returned with more decision, for opposition always makes me more determined, “I shall go to work as soon as the baby is a few weeks older.” Madge Decides. “You are taking grave chances on your infant's life, If you do,” he re- | | plied, returning to his most careful | professional manner. “I beg to differ from you," T said, | equally punctillious. “Of course, I shouldn’t think of doing such a thing while the child was so voung if this | emergency hadn’t arisen.

So much interest has been displayed in these previous pictures that there is the terrible strain I had been under during my husband’s illness—and | Mother Graham is a most capable | woman, while Katie is devoted to the | child.
