that she recognized her powerlessness
again. Then, like a destroying fash Of
lightning, came a single throb Of agony
when the bone slipped into place and
all became a blank. But even as she
swoOned away into Inconsistencies she
was raging like an insulted empress at

spoken cOolly when she moved first.
Once more Tanning looked up, after
he had satisfied himself that the bone
was properly set. HIN! tainted again,

That's well. Now wen get this bound

And forthwith the handy penknife was
a. work again. whiting out some rude
splints. In his skIlful fingers it moved
rapidly, and q few minutes more were
enough to put matters right so far as
they could be put Nature must do the
rest.
The second swoon was deeper than the
first, and the young physician had more
trouble than before in restoring his IN
willing patient TO consciousness. Pa
tiently and steadily, however, he worked
until she opened her eyes again and
looked at him with an expression which
he could not understand. Utterly I'M
conscious Of having given any cause for
ofense, and fully alive TO the fact that
he had seriously disconnected himself
to serve an entire stranger, he wa con-
hrmed in his cynicism by seeing no
CLEAN of gratitude in her eyes, and he
cursed her in his heart for a selfish con-
ventional society nissan order of
being he heartily despised. Being a
thorough gentleman, however, only par
Eally corrupted by meretricious philosO-
ply, he could not fail 10 recognize the
fact that she was a gentlewoman, and
his speech was courteous, at least in
form.

He bowed. and IN another moment
was gone. As tine sound of his footsteps
and the rustic Of pushing through the
underground died away the stiffness
grew intense again. Margaret Latmer
closed her eyes and thought deeply. The
fury Of rage that had swept upon her
when this Young stranger so cool!y de
fed her died away. She had been used
to having her ightest word treated as a
command. and it was confusing 20

but her native sense after "A few mo-
ments' reflection justified the man.
Moreover the shock TO her dignity and
modesty seemed a trivial thing after she
had thought Of II. What had he done:
He had treated her with the most pro
found delicacy and consideration, pos
sibly consistent with his duties rs a
surgeon, and had, moreover, rendered
her a service which she could hardly
overestimate. Surprising she had lain
there, as it might easily have happened,
all day, even all night, before help came.
Surprising she had been moved before
the broken bone was set and she had
been famed for life. She began TO feel
very kindly toward the man she just
condemned as a ruthless boOr. And she
remembered, with a slight blush that
he was good 70 look at, and that his
manner when he was not employed as
physician was perfect. She could forgive
everything but the "bOshr' Yes, and
she could forgive that.
