hospital inmates in her special corner
OF the portico, he was awaiting direc-

His eyes had paid irresistible tribute
to the wistful glance from her eyes,
and when he left, the violets that he
held in his hand as he waited. toying
with them idly, lay on the chair BE-
side her. Vaguely moved and feeling
that something In each had crossed
the bar of sunlight that lay on the
floor between them and touched in
greeting, she had lifted the frail
woodland violels- and pinned them ON
her gown.
Impelled by he hardly knew what
impulse, the doctor of the mountain
top hospital had heen watching Miss
Carleton as she read a letter. For
a month he had been watching her.
Women were not much in his line-he
hated the symptoms they poured over
him and fled from them, and their To-
quacity-but the silence of this wo-
man who asked no questions but sat
day after day, her listless hands fold
ed, her listless eyes on the shining
ranges that lost themselves in the sky,
trritated him.
Miss Carleton laughed-a low little
laugh.
The doctor looked at her dumbly.
He hadn't heard her laugh before, and
he wanted to say that he had been
feeling old; that the gray hairs thick
ening in his dark thatch had depressed
him vaguely; bu: that it was all a
mistake; that he was deliriously
young, bubbling with youth and buoy
