Gle, appendicitis seemed as inevitable

Gle, appendicitis seemed as inevitable
as vaccination.
THE appendix is becoming an i'm
portant feature In the book Of life," he
once told Peggy Gray.
He refused to go TO a hospital, but
pathetically begged TO be taken to his
old rooms at Mrs. Gray's.
With all the unhappy loneliness of a
sick boy he crayed the care and COM
partnership Of those who seemed part
of his own. DIR. Lotless had them
transform small bedchamber into "a
model operating room, and Monty took
no small satisfaction in the thought
that II he was TO be denied the priv
ilege OF spending money for several
weeks he would at least make his Ill
ness as expensive as possible. A con
sultation OF eminent surgeons was call
ed: but, true TO his colors. Brewster
installed Dr. Lotless, n Little Son, as
his house surgeon. Monty grimly bore
the pain and suffering and submitted
to the operation which alone could
save his life. Then came the struggle,
then the promise Of victory ana then
the quiet days Of convalescence. In
the little room whore lie had dreamed
his boyiSh dreams ana suffered his boy
ish sorrows he struggled against death
and gradually emerged from the mists
Of lassitude. He found it harder than
he had thought to come back to life.
The burden of it all seemed heavy.
The trained nurses found that some
more powerful stimulant than the med
icine was needed to awaken his ambi-
ton, and they discovered it at last in
Peggy.
Child" he said to her the first time
she was permitted to see him, and his
eyes had lights In them, do you know,
this isn't such a bad world after all.
Sometimes as I've lain here II has
looked twisted and queer, but there are
things that straighten 1t out. Today
feel as though l had place in it-as
though l could fight things and win
out. What do you think, Peggy? Do
You suppose there Is something that
could do? You know what l mean
something that some one else would
not do thousand times better"
But Peggy, to whom this chastened
mood in Monty was infinitely pathetic,
would not let him talk. She soothed
him and cheered him and touched his
hair with her cool hands. and then she
left him to think and brood and dream.
1t was many days before his turbu-
lent mind drifted to the subject of
money. but suddenly he found himself
hoping that the surgeons would be gen
erous with their charges. He almost
suffered a relapse when Lotless, Wis
IDLY distressed. Informed him that the
total amount would reach $4,000.
"And what is the additional charge
FOR the operation?" asked Monty, UNI
willing to accept such unwarranted
favors.

Lotless. "They knew You were my
friend, and it was professional eti-

IA of the papers caused no end OF

= - Monty and Miss Drew. The
headlines had announced, Magnificent

Finance" aid the Little Sons Of the
Rich wondered why Monty did not see
the humor OF IL.
"I1a has too bad an attack to see any.
thing but the lady" said Harrison one
evening when the Sons were gathered
for an old time supper party.
| Its always the way" commented
the philosophical Bragdon. When you
lose your heart your sense of humor
goes too. Engaged couples couldn't do
such ridiculous stunts If they had the
least particle of 1t left"
well, If Monty Brewster is still in
love with Miss Drew he takes mighty
poor way OF showing it, Subway
Smiths remark fell like bombshell.
The thought had come TO every one,
but no one had been given the courage
to utter it. For them Brewster's si-
lence on the subject since the DeAiille
dinner seemed to have something ON
inous behind it.
Its probably only a lovers quar-
rel,v said Bragdon But further COM
ment was cut short by the entrance, of
Monty himself, and they took their
places at table.
Before the evening came 10 an end
they were in possession of many aston
ishing details In connection with the
coming ball. Monty did not say that it
was to be given for Miss Drew, and
| her name was consplcuously absent
from his descriptions. AS he unfolded
his pans even the Little Sons, who
were imaginative by instinct and reck-
less on principle, could not be quite
acqulescent
| Hopper Harrison soiemnly expressed
the opinion that the ball would cost
Brewster at least $4,000. The Little
| Sons looked at one another in con-
| sternation, while Brewster's indiffer-
ence expressed itself In an unfiatter-
ing comment upon his friends vulgar
ity "Good Lord, Hopper he added,
''you would speculate about the price
Of gloves for your wedding."
Harrison resented the taunt. 1T
would be much less vulgar to do that,
Monty, saving your presence, than to
force your millions down every ones
