Day af'ter day in the weeks through Wmlch he foughrt fate, Bflair remember- ed the picture of the ‘city which Dr. KM‘OIVS window framed as the sur- geon told him the truth which changed the face of his life. From the boulevard, below, _th§§ “You mean,” he asked him, measur- ing his wonis as ho struggled through the shadows which seemed to have come suddenly into the hsi-g‘h room of the great hospital, “that I’ll have to go away? Out West?” “Not necessarily.” The doctor, gray. a little stooped, aged by the cares of humanity rather than. by his own‘ years, frowned in the tension of his thought. “Your trouble is more in- volved than one 'which may be cured by sunlight. You need more than that. How old are you ?” “Thirty.” “Orphaned?” He consulted his reâ€" cords. 1‘0 connsider?". “No one.” “Unmarried, I see.” “Fortunately.” “Mr. Blair, you have come to me in trust.

I haven’t even a maiden mum to send for." l “Oh, you’re not to think about me,” she tofld him, and again he felt a 3sh-ock of sumprise at professional doss- {regard of the social rxfles which most 5of the women of his acquaintanceship {acknowledged and transgressed. Here {were men and women who thmsrt the ‘mles aside not for pleasure but for ' the business of saving fife. What sort of a code did they have in its place, he wondered. “My car’s outside,” he told her. .“Shlalll I Wait for you?” f‘I’lal be dmvn in ten minutes,” she u-vutuw‘. She ran a practical glance over the record card the doctor gave her. “Should he be kept in bed?" she asked. WI‘H‘von’t stay," Blair dec’llared, re- sending their professionpl ekclusion of his own wishes. As he passed Tracey’s at the turn of the boulevard he saw Vale and Penfield, and had‘ a swift thought \of‘ jaininlg them; but the knowledge that. he might have to explain Agnes Wel‘lxs‘ to them deterrred him. “Where do you w‘amt to eat?” he asked her. “You see, I live a-llome, and I have to go out for my mealts.” e 7 “If he will not do that.” Dr. Karol said, “you will undertake to keep him from excitement." He held out his hand to Blair, and Agnes Wells crossed to the door. “She will help you if you will let her,” the doctor said. In the hall outside the girl turned to Blair, and he saw that, for all her seriousness of manner, her eyes were friendlrily bright. “Do you want to take me with you,” she asked him, “or shall I follbw you?” .1 pr'omjjsed‘. As he_p~a_ssed Trgcey ‘ He obeyed her with misgivings, angered again because her reminder _ of her professional service had I brought back to him the knowledge of 3 his condition. What would Penfield and Vale and the rest of the crowd ithink of him if they knew that he had permitted a (leather, even a sur- geon as great 8J5 Karol, to frighten him into being led around by a nurse? . It was childish, ridicuflmxs. “Will you make a bargain with me?” he asked her. “Will you go around with me as if you weren’t my nurse 7” She turned to him, her eyes blaz- ing with indignation. “No, I won’t,” she said. “'{hat’s the only reason why I’m with you at all. If you don‘t want me you can go back to Dr. Karol.” 1 “But I do want yon," he said. “It’s only because it seems so absurd for '3 chap like myself to be led around this way.” P “It isn't absurd, Mr. Blair,” She baldI .him earnestly. “We’re both of us“ under orders. When you were in the army you d' n’t think about how‘ things look’ to other people, did :you? You were too busy getting the 'work done to consider anything else] I‘Well, you have to do just that now.‘ ' I’m not a jailer. If you Wanrt to go, out you can go, but I’ll] have to go with you, and the only protection I ' have‘for myself is making it perfectly clear why I’m along?” . “I see,” he said Suddenly he chuckled out of his penitence. “You’ll be a riot at Tracey’s” he told her. “Where’s that?” she queried. , “A restaurant." he said, “where; even in these days of leis'tead, their ldrink is better than their food." l “I see,” it. was her turn to say. The thought of her set into the crowd at 'I‘racey’s amused him, and he embroidered it with possible situa- itions. Vale would try to flirt with iher, as he did with every new girl. lPenfie-Ld would want to tell her the 'ntory of his life. And Amieâ€"Blair iwhis’ifled in anticipation of Amie [Lane's annoyance over the nurse's in- ;trusion. Amie wouldn’t believe that the was really sick. ‘ They began their comradeship with .their purchases of food at a neighbor- !hood shop. Blair Watched her effi- iciency of method with amusement iwhich deepened into admiration when .‘s-he took charge of his bachelor abode. EWith deft skill she prepared his din- iner, bringing it. to him on a tray. ‘ “I’ve been hitting the high spots," .he told her. “mostly because nothing ""“1’11 get dinner,” she told him. “You’re on 'a, diet, anyhow, and it’s my job to fix your food for you}: ._-., d<,.

He g'rimaced acceptance of her order and turned homeward with a regret which sharpened to ‘acute annoyance as they entered his apartment and heard the‘ insistent jangling of the telephone bell. He knew it was a call from‘ Amie, but he took it grudgingly. Her voice sounded harsh to him after the exquisite modulation of the other girl’s. “Whecre on earth have you been?” she demanded. ‘fI’ve been calling you ing‘ a party and he wants us to come.” “Too late to go now," he declared. “Too late? It’s only 10 o’clock.” » “That’s, too late for a sick man.” “Don’t be silly, Van. You’re only playing sick. Come on out. I’m all ready and we’ll overtake them.” “Not to-nnivg‘ht.” “Oh, very well.” She banged up the receiver angrily and he paused with sudden regret at his refusal of the invitation. He was considering calling her back, for Amie was a good scout, he told himself, when he caught sight of Agnes Wells bending over his desk wt work on her report. After all, he thought, it was silly to go to a doctor and then fail to carry out his orders. “Well, this is your domain,” he told her, indicat- and left her to , L-... -1..E.. «4r- I shouldn’t be doing private nursing at all. I ought to be giving what I can to the poor children of the city.” Blair shoved away his’filvate. “Let’s go riding,” he said. “That’s allowed,” she told him. “And only three cigarettes,” she warned him as she cleared off the dishes. ( To his surprise he forgot himself in striving to please Agnes Wel'lvs that evening. He rediscovered an almost forgotten pleasure in being able to give her something she enjoyed as much as she did their ride to the southward. “Oh, but this is good,” she said, lifting her face to the sky. “I’ve been for five weeks» on a hopeless case, and I'd almost forgotten the look of the sky at night.” ‘ne road )un After Mr. Smith A PardonaEle Mistake 1 to. burn.
