Ednah Proctor Clark) in Century. .OUR FIRST CASE. We were sitting in our .little room looking at each other. A week or twe ago we had set up independently. We had come here to make our fortunes, but private nurses did not seem to be in much request in this benighted place. All the doctors knew of us, and had wel comed us cordially. With one consent they had said that we were just what was wanted here. "Do you think we can afford to stay another week?" asked Kathleen. H "Perhaps, one more, ' I answered. "It's a most interesting experience," she.said. Mi,:- .''And will end in quite an exciting finale," I added. "The worst of it is the return home Amid the jeers of - our friends, who are expecting us any day. " ; Kathleen shuddered. i : "We may get a case in the next few days," I said. "Such things occasional ly happen," ; ; ' "Give me another cup of tea, Agnes," cried Kathleen. "It is ruinous to the nerves, but I must hare it If any of my patients drank half as much as I do, I should read them a lecture they would not iorget, but" Our landlady flung open the door, and Dr. Puckle burst in upon us. "Ah! I was so afraid I should find you out," he cried. He was Irish. "We happen to have a holiday," said riauueen. &x least we nave no very argent case on this morning. " "Allow me to give you a cup of tea," said L ' "Tea? Tea at this time of day!" He shook his head at us. "I should have thought you knew better, nurse. Never drink tea at 11 o'clock. No sugar, thank you." He settled himself comfortably before the fire, and sipped his tea, while deliv ering himself of a long and strong dis sertation on the evil of this habit Kath leen and I corroborated every word he said. , "Well, now to business," criod Dr. Puckle. "I came to ask yon to undertake a case, a very painful case. It's old Jo siah Hartland. Ever heard of him?" "No," I answered. "That man would have been dead a year ago if he hadn't happened to ah live. This time he'll go. Meanwhile I must get a couple of nurses for him, by hook or by crook. Will you undertake his case?"' "Tell us some more about him, doc tor." "He lives in Hartland's Hollow. I suppose you know that part?" "No," said Kathleen, and Dr. Puckle looked relieved. . "It's a trifle lonely, but I suppose you don't mind that?" "Not in the least, " said L "We are neither of us troubled with nerves in spite of the tea. " "You'll find no one there but the coachman and his wife, an old couple. You'll have to do everything yourselves, I'm afraid. When can you be ready? The case is urgent " !, We promised to go that afternoon and when Dr.- Puckle left us, Kathleen and I held a little celebration in honor of our first case. We found ourselves before a low, ram bling building at 4 o'clock that after noon. The walls were thickly covered with ivy and creepers ; tall trees sur rounded it, which lent an air of mystery to the place. A solemn hush was on it, and the chilly afternoon fog was rising. "I hope there's a good fire," whisper ed Kathleen, shivering. The sound of the bell was muffled and seemed to come from underground re gions. We had to ring three times be fore any one thought of answering our summons. Then the door was opened suspiciously, and an old woman peered at us out of her spectacles. "Oh, be you the nusses?" she mum bled. " You may come in. "How "kind!" said Kathleen in my ear. "Don't you feel gratified, Agnes, by this gracious permission?" She waited till our traps were depos ited in the hall, then shut and locked the door. "One never knows what may hap pen," she murmured, speaking to her self. Her candle cast suspicious shadows round the low, dark halL We could smell the dust of ages as we. followed the housekeeper up stairs. She told us in passing the different rooms and in formed us that some of them were haunted, but she didn't rightly know which. ' "What a delightful house!" said Kathleen aloud, and her voice echoed far away and disturbed the brooding si lence. I wanted to hush her, for I kept feeling as if I were at church. " So cheer ful ! rang out her voice. "That's your room," said our 'guide, stopping at the top of the stairs to breathe, "and that's the master's." With that she turned and went into the dark regions we had left behind, and we found ourselves standing in a passage lighted by a single small lamp, with our bags in our hands and our hearts beating rather rapidly. "I thought there must be something queer about it," said Kathleen. "Dr.: Puckie was so very reserved. " 'It is charming, " I affirmed. "Now, shall we introduce ourselves to our pa tient or to oar room?" "Our room first," said Kathleen. "Let us keep the best treat till the end. " It was not an ideal room which had been prepared for us, nor overclean ;but, as Kathleen said, we were botn a Die to scrub a floor after our hospital training. She threw open the windtrw, lighted both the candles on the dressing table and then declared that it was fit for .the queen. "But horribly cold," I supplemented. "Well, my dear, wait till it's aired before you shut the window. When that "bid hag's lighted our fire, it won't be half bad." "It strikes me, " said I, "that we may as well light it ourselves if we want one at all" "There seems a superabundance of in sects and crawling tilings, " said Kath leen, examining the corners of the room. "I'm rather fond of spiders. Are you?" ."On the whole," I answered, "I pre fer my bedroom -free of them " "That is a pity, " said Kathleen. "Let us now go and make the ac quaintance of our patient," I suggested. Our gentle knock was not answered, bo we went in unbidden. . Josiah Hartland was lying in bed breathing heavily. He was an old man. His skin was as yellow as a London fog, his eyes were so sunken under shaggy brows that at first sight he seemed to have none. The room was comfortless in the extreme. , The fire was nearly out, and an untrimmed lamp smoked upon the table by his bed. He turned and stared at us. "Tyo of jourj- " i voice, starting us. "Two! l aonwant twa . One's quite, enough. I'm not going to pay two to do the work for one. " "But one of us has to sit up with you" at night," said I in a cheerful, soothing tone. ' ' . - - ; ? ''What do you want with sleep?" he growled. "A great, strapping girl like you ought to be able to do without it' Has James come in?" r ': "Who is James?" ! "James, he's my coachman, of course. , Who else did you, think he was? Ring the bell, can't you? ' I tell you I want James to come up. He's been collecting , my rents. I want to see him about them." . "It's rather late in the day to be do ing business," said Kathleen. He turned and stared at her. "Who's that?" he asked, pointing at her with a bony finger. - "She' is your nurse," said L : "Send her away, then. One's quite .enongh. . I'm not going to pay two nurses, I tell you. I engaged you, but I never engaged her. Send her away!" . " , "Just now, " I answered, "I am going away, and your second nurse will stay with you. I shall sit up with you to night, so I am going o rest now." Kathleen followed me to the door.look ing slightly scared: i "I wish you joy, dear," said L "We have a delightful case for our first !" ; When I awoke from my nap, I found Kathleen by the fire in our room and a nice little meal waiting for me. t "Don't thank Mrs. Jones for that," said she. "or expect to find such things growing in this house. If you are hun gry, you must go and forage- about in the larder for something to eat. If you haven't got the genius which distin guishes everything JL do, probably you won't find anything. At all events, par take freely now, for you have a long mgbt before you. " ; She was-very tired, and I left her to sleep as best she could in our spider haunted room. I was simply astonished at the change Kathleen had wrought in the sickroom. The only thing which seemed the same was our patient, and he looked cleaner. Kathleen afterward told me that she had never found it- so-difficult to persuade any one to let her wash him.; "Has she gone?" asked Josiah? "Yes ; she's gone to-bed," said L "Gone to bed! Whose bed? I won't have her sleeping in one of my beds. " "Yes, it all right," I said, "and now you must let me settle for the night" "You aren't going to wash me 1" he cried. "The other one has just done it " ''No, no, it's all right I won't wash you again tonight" When he had taken his medicine and was settled comfortably, I sat by the fire in the darkened room, and strange thoughts came to me. How was it that my life had drifted into this? Five years ago I was a thoughtless girl, with scarce ly a care beyond dress and pleasure and friendship. My friends thought it eccen tric to "waste" , my yuth like this. They were amused, anci could not see through my desire to do Something use ful in the world. Howefer it was, here I found myself, a girl who had been shielded from all the roughness and trouble of life, in the very presence of suffering and death, playing an impor tant part in the tragedy which I felt sure would end soon, for I knew the look of death so well that sometimes I saw it with scarcely a shudder. Our patient did not seem conscious of his condition. He lay there in his large and lonely house without one friend or relative be side him. It was a sad case for our first It grew more and more silent An ash fell out of the grate, and it sounded aaif a thunderbolt had burst I jumped in my chair and felt, a thrill all down my back. Then I began to think of the lonely situation of the house and the distance between the two old caretakers and me if anything should happen. Aft er awhile the silence teemed with count less noises. I heard a long swish, a queer wailing more like a human cry than the wind a pitter patter, a buzz ing, a faint tapping, a sigh. And there was a long creeping thud every now and then. I am not superstitious. I firmly be lieve that superstition is the result of ignorance, and that educated people ought to despise it But I began to feel as if perhaps there was more than I had thought in some of those superstitions. Surely they could not have lived through centuries if - there, had been no truth in them! "Go and fetch me my rent book. " I nearly screamed. His voice had come so suddenly upon my thoughts. "De hear?" cried the thin, high voice. :, I tried to persuade him to lie down and go to sleep, but he grew so excited that to quiet him I was obliged to yield. "Where is it?" I asked. It was down stairs in one of those horrible deserted rooms. "Wouldn't von rather wait till the morning?" I asked.' "No, fetch it now, now! Besides, then you can look round and see that there are no burglars about They know I'm ill, and that I've got a great sum of money here. I'm only waitingtill I get better to take it myself to the bank. His voice grew wilder and wilder. He urged me on, and I went, for nothing else could quiet him. I took a lighted candle with me, and as I found my way down the creakinz stairs my heart thumped against my side. I am sure I heard a low growl at the foot of the stairs. As the flickering light of my candle moved onward in the dark ness it seemed to disperse countless shad ows that had dim shapes. I thought I saw the outlines of a grinning head. Mrs. Jones had said some of these rooms were haunted supposing this one was ! Something scuttled away. I set my can dle down, afraid I should drop it, my hand was trembling so. Something fell with a thud on the table, and thatwas too much for ma Snatching up my can dle. I turned and fled. The candle went out, but the feeble flicker of the lamp uu stairs guided me, and I stumbled on, not daring to take a breath till I found myself once more in the sickroom. I have since found out that the library was swarminsr with cockroaches and mice. : . . " r Old Josiah had fortunately fallen into a doze, so I settled myself in my chair a ?ain. having gently made up the fire. Would this awful, night never pass?. It was now 2 o'clock, and it seemed like the beginning of eternity. . ' Tick, tick, tick! What was that? Tick. tick, tick ! I knew it was the death spider. I had heard of the horrid thing before, and had not believed ifl its existence. But I. had never before spent a night with a dying man in a haunted house. I stole softlvto the bedside, but he was sleep- ingfiicely. He had several days to live still. ' "Well, how did you get on? What sort of a nieht had you?" Kathleen was like a breeza Her voice swept off tne vapors oi tne mgni. "Beautifully." said L "I have had a delightful night' . "When shall I get better?" asked our patient. "What's the good of paying a couple of nurses and a doctor if they can't cure me quicker than this? Why can't you speak, doctor? Answer me."" "Hartland, it is time to prepare your self for another world. You cannot get better." "I must I must I've a great sum of money in the house that ought to be banked. And James hasn't got in all the rents. He's a fool at it Send him up to me at once. " X Dr. Puckle told us that this perpetual Worrying about his business was hasten ing the end. He said it could not be far distant now, and Kathleen and I deter mined to try to jret the poor man to think of other1 things more appropriate at this solemn time. . . - . ; "You cannot take your money with youi-.I said, "so why. worry about it now? You . are dying, Mr. Hartland. Surely you can leave your money mat ters alone. What importance caathey possibly be just now?" . ""Muoh .you know about businessf" sneered the old man. "Business is busi ness, whether a man is dying or not " Then he burst outcrying like a child. !"A11 my life,'; he wailed, ..Vail my life I've spent in getting it, and jnow I've got to leave it It isn't fair. Send James up to me at once. I want to know wheth er he's made that : villain Bichards pay up. Why, the fellow owes two quarters. It's infamous." . 1 I looked at Kathleen in despair. It was always like that Sometimes he cried and sobbed, sometimes he rail- i ed against the justice of life. His one i and only idea was still his money, that money which he had made himself, and Which he loved with a concentrated pas sion." : He looked at the cold, ' useless thing, and never missed the warm, hu man faces that ought to have been round him now. He had ho relations, no friends. His money had come between him and all the softer joys of life, and in dying he cared for nothing except that he had to part with it Kathleen started at the little heap of salt she had spilt , : "What's the matter, Kathleen?" "Oh, nothing," she answered, start ing. "Of course I don't believe in any such . nonsense, but I saw a . crow this morning now I've spilt some salt. " - "Throw a pinch over your left shoul der," I suggested, laughing at her. "Goose," she retorted, "do you think I'm so silly?" : I stooped to pick up my serviette, and she made -a rapid movement as though throwing something over her shoulder. : "Kathleen!" I cried sharply. "Put your knife and fork straight.," "Why? What's wrong with them?" ' She looked at them, then suddenly snatched up the fork and laid it down beside the knife. ' "I do not believe you were frightened because they were crossed, " she said. Did you hear the screech owl last night?" I asked. No, but I heard a dog howling, and when I got up to see the time I saw a shooting star. " , Superstition is such nonsense," said L "Yes, isn't it?'' I was sitting by him, and in the dark ened room I saw his bony hands groping about aimlessly or picking at his sheet When I had washed him, he had fret fully declared that we nurses did noth ing in the world but wash him, and "the other one" had done it that very morning. I tried to persuade him that the morning had nothing to do with the evening, but he didn't see it. He was now muttering to himself or lapsing in to unconscioiisness. He did not know me. ' His mind seemed to be wandering into tho money getting past, for I could hear snatches of calculations and somo-' thing about tho Stock Exchange which I did not understand. Then all was silence, but for the beat ing of my heart There came a tapping at my window. I sat up stiaight, clutching the arms of the chair. Death himself might have been knocking for admittance ! I knew, I was Bure, that it was but a bird, but I had heard that when a sparrow taps at the window it means death. A few minutes after there sounded a loud crash down stairs, and I sprang up and rushed into our room, having just presence of mind left to see that our patient had not been disturbed. Kathleen was sitting up in bed. "Did you hear that noise?" I gasped. "Ye-es," said she, through chattering teeth. " Do you think there's a burglar here?" "Well, perhaps you'd better go and see, saia i. l wouia, but l cannot leave Mr. Hartland." "Oh," said Kathleen, "I would, but I'm not dressed. What's the matter, Ag nes?" I took her shoes, which she had left on the table by accident, ana threw thm down. She started. ! 'I I tumbled up stairs yesterday, Agnes, " she said, seizing my arm. There was another crash. I had knock ed over a hand glass !- Next morning a large picture of Jo siah Hartland was found on its face in the dining room Mrs. Jones said it had fallen several times before, for the cord was rotten and kept breaking, but Mr. Hartland wouldn't buy a new one. We said it had better not bo hung again, as we did not like going to see what was the matter in the middle of the night She seemed surprised and evidently wondered what we were here for. I told Kathleen that she looked pale, and she said I looked ghastly. I asked her whether she thought we could en dure another night of it, and she said she could not, but if I liked I might stay, and she would give me all the profits. There was no need for us to stay. Mr. Hartland insisted on looking at his rentbook to see whether James had collected all the rents. I brought it to him, and he groped about with his hands to feel it "I can't quite see, " he moaned. "My eyes they aren't so good as they used to be. Read it to me, you nurse. What are you here for, wasting my money, if you can't read it to me?" "Let me read something else," I en treated, feeling tears rising in my eyes. t "Kathleen, bring me a Bible. " "Business is business," gasped the dying man. "Bead the last page to me. I want to know whether -that villain what was I saying?" Kathleen came nearer. We looked at each other. ' "What do you know about business?" ' He glared at us, and struggled with his breath. His hands wandered over the quilt - They touched the rentbook. A grin crept over the wrinkled face and fixed there. His eyes rolled and shut "Agnes, now we can go home," whis pered Kathleen, creeping to my side. All the Year Round.- The Preservation of Foodsv : The great advance in the preservation of foods is perhaps most clearly shown in a recent article in a French magazine. The article discusses the preserving of provisions from the military standpoint. It states that 40,000 rations of vegeta bles can be stored in a cubic space of 40 inches each way; that millions of ra tions of solid soaps and preserved meats are continually stored in Paris, while the quantity f flour and biscuit is fabu lous. Milk during the last siege of Fans was worth its weight in gold. Now the method of "pasteurizing" ; milk and putting it in hermetically sealed cans is found to preserve milk indefinitely and insures against suffering those classes of the community that suffer most from scarcity of milk the feeble, aged and infants. : : Compressed fodder and the silo system are the safeguards- used by the govern ment to protect animals in case of siege, while an enormous cold storage ware house at La Vilette insures fresh meats for a long period. ; The application of science to the food problem has reduced the perplexities of families living on small incomes, but it may force a com plete change in military maneuvers, starvation of the besieged being made almost impossible.
