CHAPTER XXlll—Continued. i # , —lB ' 1 "Do you have to walk as fust aa this?" "I said I was in a hurry. Once a week I get ofT a little early to go to 'he hospital. The Roaeufeld boy—" The monstrous Injustice of the thing overcame her. Palmer und she walk ing about, ami the boy lylug on lila hot bed ! Hlie choked. "Well?" 'He worries about hla mother. If you could give her some money. It would help." "Money! I paid his board for two months Iti the hospital." When she did acknowledge this gen erosity—amounting to forty-eight dol lars —his Irritation grew. Her alienee j was an accusation. She was too calm i In Ids presence, too cold. Where It i had pleased his pride to think tliut he j had given her tip, he found that the shoe was on the other foot. At the entrance to u side street she stopped. "I turn off here." "May I come and see you sometime?" "No, please." "That's Hat. Is It?" "It Is, Palmer." He swung around aavagely nnd left her. The next day he drew over n thou-, sand dollars from the bank. A good many of his debts he wanted to pay In cash; there was no use putting checks through, with Incriminating In dorsements. Also, he liked the Ideu of carrying a roll of money around. The big fellows at the clubs always had a wad and peeled off bills like skin off an onion. He took a couple of drinks to celebrate his approaching Immunity from debt. . . . At nine o'clock that night he found Ortce. She had moved to a cheap apartment which she shared with two lither glrla from the atore. The others were out. It was his lucky day, aurely. Ills 'drunkenness wua of the uilnd, mostly. Ills muscles were well con trolled. The lines from his noso to the corners of his mouth were slightly ac centuated, hla eyes open n trifle wider lliau usual. That and a slight pale ness of the nostrils were the only evi dences of his condition. Rut Grace knew the signs. "You can't come In." "Of course I'm coming In." She retreated before him, her eyea •vatcliful. Men In his condition* were apt to be as quick with a blow aa with n caress. Rut, having gained his point, he was amiable. "(let your things on and cotne out. We can take In a roof-garden." "I've told you I'm not doing that aort of thing." lie wus less steady than he had been. The heat of the little flat brought more blood to his head, lie wavered na lie stood Just Inside the door. "You uiust go back to your wife." "She doesn't want me. She's In love with a fellow at the house." "Palmer, hush!" "I ouly want to take you out for a good Uuie. I've got money. Look here 1" He drew out a roll of bills and showed It to her. ller eyes opened wide. S.he had never known lilin to have much money. "Lots more where that comes from." A new look Hashed Into her eyes, not cupidity, hut purpose., She was Instantly cunning. "Aren't you going to give me some of that?" "What for?" "I want It for Johnny Itoaenfeld." He thrust It back Into his pocket, but his hand retained Its grasp of It. "That's It," he complained. "Don't lemtue be happy for a minute! Throw It all up to me!" "You give me that for the Itoaenfeld ooy. nnd I'll go out with you." "If I give you all that, 1 won't have nny money to go out with !" But his eyes were wavering. She could see victory. "Take off enough for the evening."^ Rut he drew himself up. "It's my lucky day," he said thickly. "Plenty more where this came from. I>o anything Give It to the lit tle devil. I—" He yawned. Hl» head dropped back on his chnlr; ,ie propped his sagging legs on a stool. She knew him —knew that he would sleep almost all night. She would have to make up something to tell the other girls; but uo mutter—she could attcud to that later. She paused. In pinning on her hat, to count the bills. She had never had a thousand dollurs in her hands before. .CHAPTER XXIV. t K. Rpefit all of the evening of that day with Wilson. He was not to go-for Joe until eleveu o'clock. The Injured man's vitality was standing him In good stead. He had asked for Sidney aud she waa at hla bedside. Doctor Ed had gone. found Sidney in the room, not alt ting. but standing by the window.

She tamed THE ENTERPRISE, WTLLIAMBTON, NORTH OABOLDTA slowly and met his eyes, ft seemed to IC. that she looked at him as If she had never really feen him before, and be was rlghL Readjustments are alwsys difficult. 81dney was trying to reconcile the K. she hud known so well with this new K., no longer obscure, although still shabby, whose height had suddenly be come presence, whose quiet was the quiet of Infinite power. She was suddenly shy of him, as he ; stood looking down nt her. He saw 1 the gleam of her engagement ring on her finger. It seemed almost defiant Aa though she; bud meant by wearing i It to emphasize her belief In her lover. They did not speak beyond their j greeting, until he had gone over the record. Then: "We cun't talk here. I want to talk to you, K." He led the wuy Into the corridor. It was very dim. Fur away was the bight nurse's desk, with Its lump, Its annunci ator, Its pile of records. The paasage floor reflected the light on glistening boards. "I have been thinking until I am al most crazy, I\. And now I know bow It happened. It*wus Joe.' 'The principal thing Is, not how It happened, but thut ho Is going to get well, Sidney." . She stood looking down, twisting her ring around her finger. "Is Joe In uny danger?" . "We are going to get him sway to night. He wants to gi) to Cuba. He'll get off safely, I think." "We are going to get him away!; j You are, you ineun. You shoulder all I our troubles, K., us If they were your j own." | "I?" He »as genuinely surprised. | "Oh, I see. You mean—but my part In getting Joe off Is practically nothing. As a matter of fact, Schwltter has put j up the money. My total cnpltal In the j world, after paying for the machine i today, Is seven dollars." "You, of course," said she. "You find Max and save til in—don't look like j that! Yow did, didn't you? And you get Joe away, borrowing money to send , him." He looked uncomfortable, almost guilty. "When I look back and remember" how nil these months I've been talk ing about service, and you said noth ing nt all. nnd all the time you were living what I preached—l'm so ashamed, K." He would not allow that. It dis tressed til in. She snw that, and tried to smile. "When does Joe go?" "Tonight. I'm to take him across the country to the railroad. I waa won dering—" "Yea?" "I'd better explain first. Then If you are willing to send him a' line, I think It would help. He saw a girl In white In the car nnd thought It was yon, of course. Carlotta was taken 111. And Schwltter and —and Wilson took her upstairs to a room." "Do you believe that, K.?" --* "I do. He suw Mux coming out and misunderstood. He fired at him then." "He did it for me. I feel very guilty, K., ns If It all comes back to me. I'll write to him, of course. Poor Joe!" He watched her go down the hall to wnrd the night nurse's desk. Then he went buck Into the quiet room. lie stood by the bedside,' looking down. Wilson was breuthlng quietly; Ills color was coming up, as he rallied from the shock. In K.'s mind now waa Just one thought—to bring him through wsiii /vy 11 V \\ "Plenty More Where Thla Came From." for Sidney, aud then to go away, lie might follow Joe to Cuba. There were chances there. He could do sanitation work, or lie might try the canal. The Street would go on working out Its own salvation. He would bare to think of something for the Rosenfelds. And ho was worried about Christine. But there again, perhaps, it would be better If he went away. Christine's story would havfr to work Itself out His hands were tied. "I'd better get away from here," he told himself sav agely. j Someone entered the room, j He thought it was Sidney and turned With the light in his eyes that was only for her. It wus Carlotta. She was not In uniform. She wore a dark skirt and white mW and her high heels tapped aa Sue croased the* room. She came directly to him. "He Is better, Isn't he?" "He |« rallying. Of course it will be ' a day or two twfore we are quite sura." ■ j She stood looking down at Wilaou'a qul& figure. "I guess you know I've been crazy j about hi in," abe anld quietly. "Well, thut'* till over. He never really cared for inf. I ployed bla game and I—loat. I've been expelled from the school." Quite suddenly abe dropped on her knees bealde the bed, and put her cheek close to the sleeping man's hand. When'after n moment she rose, she was controlled again, calm, very white. She turned toward the door. But K. could not let her go like that. Her face frightened lilm. It was too calm, too controlled. He followed her across the room. , "What ure'your plans?" "I haven't any. I'm about through with iny training, but I've lost my diploma." —"I don't like to sea you going away like this." She avoided his eyes, but his kindly tone did what neither the IJead nor the ; executive committee hud done that day. It shook her control. "What does it mutter to you? Yyu don't owe me anything." "Perhaps not. One way and another I've known you a long time." . "You never knew anything very good." "I'll tell you where I live, and—" "I know where you live." "Will you come to see ine there? We may be able to think of something." "What is there to think of? This story will follow me wherever I go! ' I've tried twice for a diploma and fulled. What's the use?" lint In the end he prevailed on her to promise not to leave the city until she had seen him again. It wus not until ! she had gone, ri straight figure with j haunted eyes, that he reflet-tad whlin- I slcully that once uguln lie had defeated j IIIH own plans for (light. Sidney-brought her letter to Joe bock to K. She was flushed with the effort and with n new excltffiient. "The most remarkable thing has happened. What a' duy this has been I Somebody has sent Johnny Itosenfeid a I ! lot of money. The ward nurse wants ryou to come back." The ward hud settled for the nigh*- The well-ordered beds of the daytime were chaotic now, torn apart by toss ing figures. The night was hot and an electric fan hummed In a far corner. Under Its sporadic breezes, as It turned, the ward was trying to sleep. Johnny Itosenfeid was not asleep. An Incredible thing had happened to him. A fortune lay under his pillow. He wus sure it waa there, for ever since Itcame his hot hand had clutched It. lie was quite sure that somehow or other K. had had a hand In It. When he disclaimed it, the boy was bewiW dered. "It'll *buy the old lady what she wants for the house, anyhow," he said. "But I hope nobody's took up a collec tion for me. I don't want no charity." "Maybe Mr. Howe sent It." "Yon cuu bet your last match he didn't." In some unknown way the news had reached thv ward that Johuuy's friend, Mr. Le Moyne, wus a great surgeon. Johnny hud rejected It scornfully. But the story bad aelzed on bla Imagination. "Say, Mr. Le Moyne." "Yes. Jack." He called him "Jack." The boy liked It. It savored of iiiun to man. After all, he was a man, or almost. Hadn't he driven a car? Didn't he have a state license? "They sn.v thut you're a surgeon; that you operated on I>octor Wilson and saved his life. They say that , you're the king pin where you come from." He eyed K. wistfully. "I know It's a lie, hut If It's tfue — Don't you think you could do something for me, ! sir?" When K. did not reply ut once, he | launched into an explanation. "I've been lying here a good while. I didn't say much because I knew I'd have to take a chance. Ritlier I'd pull ! through or I wouldn't, and the odds j were—well. I didn't say much. The old lady's had a lot of trouble. But ] now, with this under my pillow for her, . I've got a right to ask. I'll take a chance, If you will." "It'a only a chance, Jack." "I know that. But lie here and watch these souks off the street. Old, a lot of them, and gettln' well to go , out and Starve, uud — Mr. Le Moyne, they can walk, and I can't."» K. drew a long breath. He ffad . started, and now he must go on. Faith in himself or no faith, he must go on. Life, that hud loosed Its hold on him for a time, hud found liiui uguln. Til go over you carefully tomorrow, Jack. I'll tell you your chances hon estly." "I have a .thousand dollars. What ever you charge—" "I'll take It on{ of my Hoard bill In the new house I" At four o'clock thut morning K. got buck from seeing Joe off. The trip had been without accident. Orer Sidney's letter Joe had shed a shamefaced tear or two. And the night ride, with K. pushing the car to the utmost, he had felt that the boy, in keeping his liund in his pocket, ' had kept it on the letter. When the ! road was smooth und stretched ahead, j a gray-white line into the night, he tried to talk a little courage into the I boy's sick heart. "You'll see new people, new life," he said. "In U month from now you'll wonder why'you ever hung around the j Street. 1 have a feeling that you're going to mhke good down there." And once, when the time for parting ; was very near— \ "No mutter what happens, keep on believing in yourself. I lost mjr faith in '«KV. It was pretty close to | her . j| Joe's response allowed hla entire self engrossment. "If he dies, I'm a murderer." "He's not going to die," said K. stoutly. . \ • At four o'clock in the morning he left the car at the garuge und walked around to the little house. He had had uo sleep for forty-flve hours; his eyes were sunken In Ills head; the skin over his temples looked d*awn and white. His clothes were wrinkled ; the j soft hat he habitually wore was white with the dust of the road. As he opened the hall door, Christine stirred In the room beyond. She came : out fully dressed. "K.. are you sick?" "Itather tired. Why In the world aren't you In bed?" "Palmer has Just come home In a terrible rage. He says he's been robbed of a thousand dollars." "Where?" Christine shrugged her shouldem. "He doesn't know, or says he doesn't 0* ~7T~ ?] "Poor Girl!" He Said. "Poor Chris- | tine i " I'm glad of it. He seems thoroughly frightened. It utay be a lesson." In the dltn hall light he realized that her face was atralued and set. She looked on the verge of hysteria. "I'oor little woman," he said. "I'm sorry, Christine." The tender words broke down th* 1 last barrier of her self-coutrol. "Oh. K.! Take me away. Take toe away! I can't stand It any longer." She held her arms out to hlui, and because he was very tired and lonely, ' and because more than unythlng else In the world Just then he needed a woman's arms, he drew her to him and held her close, his cheek to her hair. | "Poor girl 1" he said. "Poor Chrls tlne! Surely there must be some hap piness for us somewhere." But the next moment he let her go and stepped back. "I'm sorry." Characteristically he took the blame. "I shouldn't have doae thut— You know-how It Is with me." '[ "Will It always be Sidney?" "I'm afraid It will always be Sidney." CHAPTER XXV. Johnny Hosenfeld was dead. All of K.'s skill had not sufficed to save him. The operation had been a marvel, but the boy's long-supped strength failed nt the insti K., set of face, stayed with i him to the end. The boy did not know i be was going. He roused from the coma and smiled up at Le Moyne. "I've got a hunch that I can move ' my right foot," he said. "Look and see." K. lifted the light covering. "You're right, old man. It's moving." ; "Brake foot, clutch foot," said Johnny, | and closed his eyes again. K. had for- | bidden the white screens, that outward i symbol of death. Time enough for ' them later. So the ward had no sua plclon, nor hud the boy. The ward passed in review. It was Sunday, and from the chapel far below came the faint singing of a hymn. When Johnny spoke again he did not open his eyes. "You're some operator, Mr. Le Moyne. I'll put In a word for you whenever I ! get a chance." "Yes, put In a word for me," said K. huskily. He felt that Johnny would be a good mediator—that whatever he, K., had done of omission or commission, Johnny's voice before the Tribunal would count. Johnny was close on the edge of his long sleep by that time, and very com fortable. It waa K. who, seeing he would no longer notice, ordered the screens to be set around the bed, K. who drew the coverings smooth and folded hands over his breast. The nurse stood by uncertainly. | "How very young he Is! Was It an accident?" "It was the result of a man's damn able folly," said K. grimly. "Somebody u I ways pays." And so Johnny Rosenfeld paid. The immediate result of his death was that K., who had gained some of his faith In himself on seeing Wilson on the way to recovery, was beset by his old doubts. And now came a ques tion that demanded Immediate answer. Wilson would be out of commission tor several months, probably. He waa gaining, but slowly. And he wanted K. to take over his work.
