Under Dr. Pettit's skilful treatment, and his rigid 1 strictio; against which Dicky belled periodically, but obeyed never- theles: my huband was regaining his old strength with marvelous rapidity. And his eyes were no longer -3 of anxiety. Indeed, for sev Dicky had been allowed to read beloved books and magazines and I knew it was only a question of a few more days when Dr. Pettit would pro- nounce him able to go back to Mineola and take up the pended by his accident. With a few crisp words, the young physician had forestalled the nece: I had felt for immediate action con- cerning my father. “There is no immediate necessity to re- his work sus- | ty | ' arrange for your father to become | of your home,” he had | “The rent and other fixed expenses of the place over there have been paid for two or three months in advance, while the running expenses when hared by your father and myself are ! easily met. It will be time enough for him to move over when your husband goes back to his duties and I am summoned.” I knew the young physician meant to be kind, that he was still ready to serve me in any way he could, but I | was inwardly amused at the icy cour-~ tesy which he invariably used in ad- dressing me since our memorable in- terview upon the subject of my father's finances. That he inexorably disapproved of what he probably termed my “unwomanly” decision to zo to work, I knew, and he either could not or would not hide his feel- | inmate ing of resentment toward me for my | : flouting of his opinion in the matter. Little cared I, however what Dr, Pettit's opinion of me was.
