So they separated, and the doctor
went to his room to study. But his
mind was not content with books. 1t
dwelt upon Amy, as she appeared but
short time before. 1t occurred to him
that he had thought of her many times
in the past few weeks. But then it was
purely professional-their common in
terest in the medical aspect of Their
work. She was very competent nurse
and very attractive. Her eyes and
her mouth and that little wisp of hair
that always curled over her ear stood
before him. But pshaw, it meant moth
ing. Thus he tried to trick his con-
science, deceiving himself and saying
it was not so, when, in some deeper
sub-consciousness he knew that it was
so and really could not be otherwise
and that he was hopelessly in the tolls
This is loves alchemy.
In the dimly lighted ward Amy was
at Teddy's bedside. The hoy was wake
full and restless. He wanted company.
Though her duty was over she stayed
with him, talking in a whisper.
Bit by bit she drew from him the
story OF his brief, hard life. He had
no memory Of father or mother. He
had lived with an aunt, who beat him;
SO he ran away and finally graduated
from newsboy to telegrap ph messenger.
He was doubter. Even Santa Claus,
that patron saint of the children, was
to him a myth-"only for rich folks
kids he said. y
But when she told him how Santa
Claus would come to all children, rich
and poor, if he only knew where they
lived, his eyes grew big with interest.
Teddy" she said, eff Santa Claus
will come here on Christmas day and
bring you lots of presents and
Christmas tree will you try to get
well?"
Teddy thought hard. "Guess that
might be worth gettin' well for" he
said with a sigh. But he won't come.

wasn't nothin' in it." 1t must have
been a bitter disappointment, for the

Free Training of Nurses.

An excellent work has been under
taken by the Philadelphia School for
Nurses, which is providing free train
ing in nursing, for a number of young
women in every county in Pennsyl-
vania.
The young women will be provided
with room, board, uniforms, and all
the conveniences of a well-appointed
Christian home. The course is two
years of training, in nursing the sick
poor of the city, under skilled leaders.
In addition to regular nursing, the
young women are taught how to pre-
serve their own health; how to recog-
nize, avoid, and destroy contagion;
and how to establish and maintain
perfect sanitary conditions about the
home.1

look of despair crept into his face.
Eyes he will, Teddy. I'll send him

you'll only get well. You know the

closed and he slept.

ingly. "Oh, it's too early. Wait till
this afternoon"
He ate his breakfast with relish and
there was new note IN his voice
when the doctor came in. But it was
part of their plan that the doctor
should not know, and though Teddy
was on the peak of expectancy he
kept the secret.
At three o'clock a messenger
brought Amy a yellow envelope. and
she took it straight to Teddy's he'd

recalled that vision-the sweet, serious
face, the white uniform, the pretty cap
resting on waves of brown hair. She
smothed his hot brow and gave him
cool water. Then delirium seized him,
and for weeks he hovered between life
and death, while Amy Norton, the head
nurse, watched him as though he were
her very own.
In those endless days and nights of
physical anguish, when he could COM
prehend only two conditions-pain and
the absence of pain-Amy seemed to
him brooding Spirit of Deliverance.
Always there, when he needed her,
divining the cause of his discomfort
and quick with measures of relief, she
became in the highest sense a mother
to this motherless waif.
So the days passed, and gradually
Teddy responded to the care of nurse
and doctor and awoke to conscious
ness of things about him. His twisted
arm was almost restored to use; his
crushed leg, though in heavy plaster
cast, was mending rapidly; but he
complained Of pain in his chest, where
the engine wheels had broken the
ribs. 1t hurt him to breathe, he said.
Now and then spell of coughing
shook his little frame and left him
painting for breath. Then, recovering,
he would watch Amy at her work, his
eyes following her up and down the
room. He was disinclined to eat, and
daily his face became whittier and thin
ner, and his eyes bigger and blacker.
1t was DR.. Stones custom to meet
Amy in the operating room several
times a week for consultation. One
evening they talked of Teddy. The
doctor shook his head gravely. He
was a handsome, young man, with
close-cut, dark beard. In their common
purpose-the rescue of this dying or
phan child-their hearts beat together.
"Can you not stimulate him some
hoW?" he asked. "He is very low. Any
little complications fever, even "a
cold-might end it all. He is too pas
sive. He does not care. He seems to
be merely awaiting the end. We can
not get results under such conditions.
1t is not now case for medicine. There
is nothing in all the pharmacopoeia
that / can think of to awaken him."
For some minutes they sat in silence
All the mother love in Amy's heart
was stirred. Poor little waif-no par
ents, no home, and Christmas close at
hand. A great light dawned within her
Christmas-the day of days for chill
dren all over the world! She turned
her deep, thoughtful eyes upon the
doctor. "Let me take the case" she

Clang elang clang -a-lang-a-lang7a
lang! Down the broad, brilliantly
lighted avenue swept a heavy fire
truck, its five dappled horses united
In mad gallop. Ten-year-old Teddy
O'Neill, Western Union messenger
boy, cut suddenly into the avenue
from a side street and circled on his
wheel like an eagle. His eyes fol
lowed the truck with longing. It was
struggle 'twixt duty and pleasure.
Then an engine dashed into sight. 1t
was drawn by three magnificent
blacks, and in the darkness it cleaned
like demon, splitting fire and smoke.
Teddy gave howl of enthusiasm and
followed in its wake.
For block after block he trailed the
wheel of the engine, bending low over
his handle bars. Something of the
spirit of the fire-fghters of old was in
his blood, and though his little heart
was pounding with sudden stress he
held the pace, his short legs dancing
mechanically with the pedals.
At the cross street a trolley car
blocked the way. A collision seemed
inevitable. The driver rose in his
seat, jammed the brake down, and
drew with all his strength on the
lines. The blacks came down on their
launches and with stiffened forelegs
slid on the smooth pavement. Just
in time the heavy engine came to a
stop.
But Teddy, pedaling as though for
q record, with his eyes to the ground,
knew not of the obstruction.
Suddenly the shining engine loomed
before him. He threw up his arms
and with a little cry dashed into the
heavy steel-shod wheels.
A crowd gathered quickly. Gentle
hands bore the limp and mangled body
to nearby hospital
When Teddy awoke he lay in white
iron bed, in long room, with many
other beds on each side of him. He
tried hard to remember. What did it
all mean? And what made the pain
in his head, his chest, his legs? He
gave little groan.
A woman came to the bed and
leaned over him. Years afterward he

ried her, but when she got to Phil
adelphia she gave the tip to a depot
detective to watch the man while she
hurried into the ladies' waiting room
and paid the maid two dollars for the
latter's hat. Miss Russell declares it
was not the most modish hat she
ever known, but it covered her head
and gave her an opportunity to con-
tinue 'shadowing" her man, whom she
finally ran to cover, and made her
case.
