LeMoyne, takes 11 room nt the Page home, presided over by Sidney, her mother, Anrin, and her Aunt Har riet. 11 fashionable dressmaker. Through the influence of Dr. Max Wilson, a brilliant young surgeon smitten with her charm, Sidney becomes u hospital nurse. K.* loves her from 11 distance; so does erratic' Joe Drtimiuond, un old schoolmate. At the hospital Sidney makes the acquaintance of t'arlotta Harrison, who has been over- Intiiiinte with Doctor Max ami who Is Jealous of the innocent new comer. Sidney's chum, Christine marries Calmer Howe, a young society rake and they take rooms with the Rages. Howe turns traitor to his bride. Ills arm Is broken ..In a Joy riding accident and Johnny lUisenfeld, his chauffeur, is fatally hurt. Sidney's mother dies. Doctor Wilson discovers that LeMoyne Is n famous Doctor Kd wardes, living incognito, and keeps the secret, fnrlottn Harrison poisons .Tohtiiiy, 11 patient In the hospital, and puts (lie. blame on Sid ney. Christine, secretly admiring K., asks him to warn Sidney against Doctor Wilson, who, she thinks would prove untrue to the girl If he married her. When this installment opens, K, Is trying to explain to Celcstlne why he can't Interfere In Max and Sid ney's affairs. CHAPTER XVll— Continued. —l4 "I think you can understand," said K. father wearily, "that If I cared less, Christine, It would he easier to Inter fere." After nil, Christine had known this, or surmised It, for weeks. Hut It hurt like a I rcsh stab in 1111 old wound. It was K. who spoke ngaln lifter a pause : "The deadly hard thing, of course, In to sit by iind see things happening that one that one would naturally try to prevent." "I don't believe (hat you have al ways been of those who only stand and wall," said Christine. "Soiiletlnie, K., when you know me better mid like me better, I want you to tell me about It, will you?" "There's very little to tell. I held a trust. When I discovered I was unlit to hold that trust any longer, I null Thill's nil." Ills tone of finality closed the discus sion Hut Christine's eves were on I hint often thai evening, pu/.zlcd, rather sad. They talked of hooks, of music Christine played well In a dashing way. K. had brought her soft, tender little things, and had stood over her until her noisy touch became gentle. She played for him a little, while he sat back in the big clflilr Willi his hand screening Ills eyes. . When, at last, he rose and picked up Ids cap, It was nine o'clock. "I've taken .lour whole evening." lie said remorsefully. "Why don't you tell me I um a nuisance and send me ofT?" Christine was still at the piano, her ! hands on the keys. She spoke with out looking 11! him : "You're never 11 nuisance, K„ and—" , Something In her tone caught his at tention. "I forgot to tell you," she went on. "Father ' has given I'alincr'live thou sand dollars, lie's going to buy a share in a business." "That's tine." "Possibly. 1 don't believe much in j i'nlincr's business ventures." Her tint tone still held hint. Ruder ueath it he divined strain ami repres sion. "1 hate to go and leave you alone," Jie said at lust front the door. "Hive you any Idea when rainier will-' be' iuti'k?" I "Not the slightest. K„ \>ill you come here a moment? Stand behind me; 1 don't want to see you, and 1 want,to tell you something." He did as she bade him, rather puz 7. led. "Here I am." "I think I am a fool for saying this. Perhaps I am spoiling the only chance 1 have to get any happiness out of life. Hut I was terribly unhappy, K„ and then yoh came into my life, and I now I listen for your step in the hull. I can't be a hypocrite any longer, lv." When he stood behind her. silent and not moving, she turned slowly about and faced him. He towered there in the little room, grave eyes on hers. "It's a long time since 1 have had n woman friend, Christine," he said so berly. ".Your friendship has meant a good deal. In a good tnAny ways, I'd not cafe to look ahead If It were not fo& you.

Sidney went Into 'he operating room that afternoon. For her hitie unl 'orm. kerchief, and cap she e.v hanged the hhh'otts operating room g/irb; long, straight white gown with short sleeves and ini>h cup, gray-white from many sterilizations. But the *tigly~ costume seemed to emphasize her fieauty. us the hnblt of a nun often brings out the ' t'lnehl salntllness of her face. The relationship between Si hiey and Max hud reached that point that oc curs In all relationship** between men and women: when things must either go forward or go hack, hut cannot re main ax they are. The condition had existed for the lust three months. It exasperuted the man. As a matter of fact, Wilson could not go ahead. The situation with Carlottn had heroine tense. Irritating. He felt that sht stood ready to block any move lie made. He would not go back, and he darefKnot go forward. If Sidney was puzzled, she kept It bruvely to herself. In her little room at night, with the door carefully locked, she tried to think things out. There were a few treasures that she looked over regularly: a dried flower from the Christmas roses; a label that he had pasted playfully on the hack of her hand one day after the rush of surgical dressings was over and which said: "It, Take once and forever." There was another piece of piiper over which Sidney spent much time. It was a page torn out of aii> order book, nnd It read: "Higsbee may hnvc light diet: Itosenfeld massage." Underneath was written, very small: You are the most beautiful person In the world. Two reasons hud prompted Wilson to request "to have Sidney in the oper ating -room, liewauled her with him, and he wanted her to see him at work: the age-old instinct of the male to have his woman see him at Ills best. The deepening and broadening of Sidney's character hud been very no ticeable in the lust few months. She had gulned In decision without becom ing hard; bad learned to see thing* as they are, not through-the rose mist of curly girlhood; and. far from being dnunted, hud developed a philosophy that hud for Its basis tJod lu his heaven ami all well with the world. Hut her new theory of acceptance did not comprehend everything. She was in a state of wild revolt, for In stance, as to Johnny Kosenfeld. and more remotely but not less deeply con cerned over (Jruce Irving. Hut her revolt was to be for herself too. «(n the day after her uppolntnieni . to the operating room, she bad tier half-holiday, and when, after a restless night, she went to her" new mutton, it was to learn that Wilson had been called out of the city in consultation and Mould not operate that day. i lium would take advantage of the free afternoon to run in some odds uiid ends of cases. The operating room made gauze that morning, and small packets of tam pons: absorbent cotton covered with sterilized gauze, and fastened togeth er^-twelve, by careful count. In each bundle. Miss Grange, who had hiVn kind to Sidney in her probation months, taugiil her the method. "Used Insteud of sponges," she ex plained. "If you noticed yesterday, they were counted before and after ouch operation. .One of these missing Is worse than a bank clerk out a dol lar at the end of the day. There's no closing up nulll It's found!" Sidney eyed the small packet before her anxiously. "What a hideous responsibility!" she said. From that time on she handled tin 1 small gauze sponges almost reverently. The operating room —all glass, white enamel, and shining nickel plate—llrst frightened, thou thrilled her. It was as If, having loviv a great rictor, she now trod the enchanted boards on which he achieved his triumphs. She was glad that it was her afternoon off, and that she would not see some lesser star —O'llarn. to wit —usurping his place, itut Max had not sent her any word. That hurt. The operating room was a hive of Industry, and tongues kept pace with lingers. What news of the world came In through the great doors was trans lated at once Into hospital terms. What the city forgot the hospital re mcmbered. It took up life where the town left it at lis gates, and carried it on or saw If ended, as the case might be. So ti.Vse young women knew the 1 ending of niany-slories, the beginning of some; luit of none did they know both the first and last, the beginning and the end. l>y many small kindnesses Sidney had made herself popular. And there was more to it than that. She never shirked. The other girls had the re spect fur her of one honest worker for another. The episode that had caused her suspension seemed entirely forgotten. They showed her carefully what she #as to do; and, because she l uinst know the "\vhy v of everything, ! they explained as best they could. > It was while she was standing by the great sterilizer that she heard, through an open door, part of u Conversation that seut her through the day with her world in revolt. The talkers were putting the an esthetizing room Ui readiness for the afternoon. Sidney, F waiting for the time to open the sterilizer, was busy for | the llrst time in her hurried morning. I with her own thoughts. Ilecause she ! was very human, theri» wns a i little vould these girls say when they I iearned of how things stood between her and their n.-ro. Not , hamfcfnl, this: the nonest pride'of u .vooian in from many. '" The rcrtces were very clear. "She's eutinK her heart out." "Do you think he hat* really broken with her?" 'Trobiibly not. She knows It's com ing : that's nil." "Sometimes I have wondered —" ''So have others. She oughtn't to | be here, of course. But among so many , there Is l»ound to be one now and then who—who Isn't quite—" She hesitated, at a loss for a word. "Did you—did you ever think over that trouble with Mis* Page about the medicines? That would have been easy, and like her." "She hates Miss 1/rjfe, of course, but I hardly think— If that's true, it was nearly murder." There were two voices, a young one, full of soft soufhern Inflections, and an ' older voice, a trifle hard, as from disll- j luslon. They were working as they talked. Sidney could hear the clatter of bot- I ties on the tray, '.he scraping of a moved table. "He was crazy about her last fall." "Miss I'age?" (The younger voice, | with a, thrill in It.) "Carlottn. Of course this Is confl- : dentlal." "Surely,'> "I saw her with him In his car on® evening. And on her vacation last summer—" The voices dropped to n whisper. [ Sidney, stunding cold and white by the sterilizer, put out a hand to steady herself. So that was it! No wonder 'arlotia hud hated ht-r. She was steady enough lu a moment, cool and j calm, moving about her work with Ice cold hands and slightly-narrowed eyes. To a sort of physical nausea was sue- | ceedlng anger, a blind fury of Injured j pride. He had been In love with Oar- j lotta and had tired of her. He was bringing her his warmed-over emotions. She remembered the bitterness of her j month's exile, and Its probable cause, i ,Ma\ had stood by her then. Well he might, if he suspected the truth. For Just a moment she had an llluml- I nuting tiash of Wilson as he really was, selfish and self-indulgent, Just a trifle too carefully .dressed, daring as to eye and speech, with a curefully-calculated : daring, frankly pleasure-lovlug. She ; put her hands over her eyes. The Voices in the next room had j risen above their whisper. "(•cuius hits privileges, of course," i said the older voice. "He Is a very great surgeon. Tomorrow he Is to do the Kdwardcs operation again. I am glud I am to see him do it." Sidney still held her hands over her i eyes. He was a great surgeon Lin his hands he held the keys of life and death. And p. tiutps he had never cared for Cutiottu: she might have I thrown herself tit him. He was a man, at the mercy of any scheming woman, j She tried to summon his Image to. her aid. Hut a curious thing happened. She could not visualize him. Instead, there came, clear and distinct, a pic- j ture of K. Le Moyne in the hull of the little house, reaching one of his long arms t> the chandelier over hW head and looking up at her as she stood on the stairs. CHAPTER XIX. "Ilut, Sidney, I'm asklug you to mar ry tne!" "I—l know that. I am asking yoi something else. Max." "I have never been in love with her." Ills voice was sulky. He had drawn lite car close to a bank, and they were sitting in the shade, on the grass. It was the Sunday afternoon after Sid ney's experience in tin- operating room. "You took her out, Max, didn't you?" "A few times, yes. Site seemed to have no friends.. I was sorry for her." "That was all?" "Absolutely. "Gotid heavens, ytm've put me through a catechism in the last ten minutes!" "If my father were living, or even mother, I —one of them would have done this for tue, Max. I'm sorry I i had to. I've been very wretched for several days." It was the first encouragement she j had given him. There was no coquetry about her aloofness. It was only that her faith in him had had a shock and was slow of reviving. "You are very, Very lovely, Sidney. I wonder if you have any Idea what you mean to me?" "YVu meant a great deal to me, too," she said frankly, "until a few days ago. I thought you were the greatest man I had ever known, and the best. And then—l think I'd better tell you what I overheard. I didn't try to hear. It just happened that way." lie listened doggedly to her account of the hospital gossip, doggedly anJ with n sinking sense of fear, not of tha talk, but of Carlottn herself.
