CHAPTER X—Continued. —9— She got up quickly, and, trailing her long sunn train across the floor, bolted the door. Then from Inside her cor sage she brought out and held to Sid ney ii letter.

The supper at the White Springs ho tel had not been the last Oar lotta 11 arr I son and Max Wilson hud taken together. 4'arlotta had selected for her vacation a small town within easy motoring distance of the- city, uml. two or three times during her two •Week* off duty Wilson had gone out to M'e her. lie liked belli# with her. She stimulated him. For once that he could see Sidney, he mnv fa riot t a twke. She had kept the affair well In hand. She was playing for high stakes. She knew quite well the kind >(' niun with whom she was dealing - that he would pay as little a.s possible. But alio knew, too, that, let him want a thin* \ enough, he would pay any price for It, even marriage. She was very skillful. The very ar dor In her face was In her tuvor. Be hind her eyes lurked cold calculation. | She would put the thing through, and show those puling nurses, with their pious eyes and evening i»rayers, a thing or two. Uuring that entire vacation he never saw her In anything more elaborate than the simplest of white dresses modestly open at the throat, tdetfres rolled up to show her satiny arms. There were no other iMstnlers nt the little farmhouse. She sat for hours 1 in the summer evenings lu the square yartl filled with apple trees that bor dered the highway, carefully posed over u book, but with her keen eye* always on the rood. She read Brown ing, Kmerson, Swinburne. Once he fouud her with a book that she has tily conceded, lie Insisted on seeing it, and secured'it. It was a book on brain surgery. Confronted with it. she blushed ami dropped her eyes. His de lighted vanity found in It the moat In sidious of compliments, as she had In tended. "I feel such an idiot when I am with you." she said. "I wanted to know a little more about the things you do." That put their relationship ou a new aid "advanced bus is. Thereafter he occasionally talked surgery Instead of sentlllient. He found her responsive, Intelligent. Ills work, a sealed book to his women before, lay open to her. Now and then their professional dis cussions ended In something different. The two lines of their Interest con verted. • V * v "Gad I" he said one day. "I look forward to these evenings. I can talk shop with you without either shocking or nauseating you. You tire the most intelligent woman I know—and oue of the prettiest." , The one element Curlotta had left out of her calculations was herself. She had known the mun, had taken the situation at Its proper value.. But Into her culculutlng ambition had come a new and destroying element. She who, like K. In hla little room on the Street, ind put aside love and the things t Hereof, found that it wjuld not pot • .... ' 1 her aside. By the end of her short va-J oil Hon Cnrlotta Harrison wan wildly In' love with 'the younger Wilson. 'l'hey continued to meet, not n*! often a* before, trut t»n«"e h week, per- 7 haps. The meeting* were full of dan- j ger now; and If for the girl they lost! by this quality, they gained attraction,; for tuan. She was shrewd enoUKh ! to realize her own situation. The tiling had gone v» rottg. She eared, and he did not. It wu* his game now, not hers. All women are Intuitive; women In love are dangerously so. A* well a she knew that his passion for her wus not the real thing. *0 also she realized that there was growing up In his heart something akin to the renl thing f»r Sidney I'age. Suspicion became cer tainty after a talk they had over thoj supper taliie at a country rondhouse j the day after Christine's wedding. "How was the wedding—tiresome?" "Thrilling! There's always some 4hlng thrilling to me In a inun tying j himself up" for life to one woman. It's —It's so reckless," , Her eyes narrowed, "That's not ex- ; actl.v the Law and the Prophets, Is It?" 1 "It's the truth. To think of select ing out of all the world one woman, and electing to spend the rest of one's days with her! Although—" His eyes looked past Cnrlotta Into] distance. "Sidney Page was one of the brides-T mulds," he said Irrelevantly. "She wui lovelier than the .bride.", I "Pretty, but stupid," said Cnrlotta. 1 "I like her. I've really tried to teach + her things, but —you .know —" she nhi'tiggcd her shoulders, 1 >oetor Mux wiis learning wisdom., If there tins n twinkle In his eye, he veiled It discreetly. But, otice again In the machine, he bent over and put his cheek 11 girl list her*. "Yon little cat! You're jealous." he snld exultantly. Nevertheless, although he might i smile, the Image of Sidney lay very close to his heart those autumn days. And Cnrlotta knew It. • •••»•• Sidney ennie i»ff night doty the mid- , die of November. The nlcht duty hail liven u time of c*Mii|mratlvc peare to j Carloftn. There were no evenings 1 when Ifcwtor Miix could bring Sidney Imck to the hospital In his car. Sidney's half-day* at home were oc casions for agonies of Jealousy on Cnr lotta s part. »n such an occasion, a month alter the wedding, she could uot «vntain herself. She pleaded h»T aid excuse of headache, and took the trol ley tn a point near, the end of the Street. After twilight fell, she slowtr | wafked the length of the Street. Chris- 1 tine and Palmer had not returned [ from their wedding" journey. The .No- j \ ember evening was not cold. Sidney was not In sight, or Wilson. But standing on the wooden doorstep of | the house was l.e Mujue. The a 1 la 11- thus trees were hare at that time, throwing gaunt arm* upward to the November skv. The street lamp. \\ lileli In the Miinn»cr~Tvft the doorstep In the shadow, now shone through the branches mid threw Into strong relief l.e Moyne's tall figure ami set face. Cnrlotta saw him too late to retreat. But he did not see h«*r. She went on, startled, her busy hraln scheming anew. Another element had entered Into her plotting. If was the first time she laid know u that K. lived |n the Pnge house. It gave her n sense of uncertainty and deadly fear. She made her first friendly orer ture of many days to Sidney the fol lowing day. They met in the locker room in the lwsement where the street clothing (or the ward patients was kept. Here, polled In bundles and ticketed, aide hy side lay the hetero geneous garments in which the pa tlents had met accident or Illness. Rag* and tidiness, tilth and cleanli ness, lay almost touching. ~ Far away on the other side of the whitewashed basement, men .were un winding gleaming cans of milk. Floods of sunlight came down the cellarway. touching their white cor.ts and turn ing the cans to silver. Everywhere was the religion of the hospital, which la order. Sidney, harking hack from recent slights to tlu/ staircase conversations of her night/duty, smiled at Cnrlotta cheerfully. • "A miracle Is happening," she said. "Grace Irving Is goThg- out today. I When one remembers how ill she was and how we thought she could not live, it's rather a triumph, isn't It?" "Are those her clothes?" Sidney examined with some dismay the elaborate negligee garments in her baud. "She can't go out In those; I shall huve to lend her something." A little of the light died out of her face. "She's had a hnrd fight, and she has won," she said, "But when I tlgnk of what she's probably going back to—" Carlotta shrugged her shoulders. "It's all in the day a work," she ob served indifferently. "You can take them up Into the kitchen and give them steady work paring potatoes, or put them In the laundry Ironing. In the end It's tb« tarn* thing. all - go Lack." - - . 1 | By MARY j \ ROBERTS j I RINEHART I L .J Bhe turned, on her wny out of the locker room, and shot a quicti glance ut Sidney.

So far. well enough. The thing that rankled ami tilled htm with, a sense of failure was Mux Wilson's attitude. It was not unfriendly: It was, indeed, consistently respectful, almost rever ential. But he clearly considered L« Mo.vne s poaltlon absurd. There was no true comradeship be tween the twp men; but there was he ginning to he constant association, and lately a certain amount of friction. They thought differently about almost 1 everything. Wllson began to bring all his prob lems to Le Moyne. There were long consultations in that amall upper room. Perhaps more than one man or woman who did not know of K.'a exist ence owed his life to him that fall. Under K.'s direction. Max did mar vels. Oases began to come In to him from the surrounding towns. To hia own dpring was added a new and re mit rknhle technique. But Le Moyne. who had found resignation It not con tent. was once again in touch with the work he loved. There were time* wheu, having thrashed a case out to gether and outlined tW next day'a work for Max, he would walk for hours fcnto the night out over the hills, fight ing his battle. The longing was on him to be in the thick of things again. The thought of the gas office and it* df adlv round sickened him.
