doctor In charge took him to Louise
Bradley.
"I'm afraid this will be the worst
case" he said. Seems like conclusion
of the brain. Well see that everything
possible is done for her."
Hartleigh looked pityingly ut the slim
slip of a girl, her head bandaged and
her face flushed with fever. "She's an
orphan-no relatives-poor little thing"
And he touched her hand gently.
The girls fingers clasped his, and she
opened her eyes unexpectedly.
.Dick, you'll stay" she begged
breathlessly-''you'll not leave me
alone?"
Richard Hartleigh sat down by tile
bed and humored her feverish fancy.
Eyes, Louise; yes, little girl. I'll stay"
he said soothingly.
1t was not until the doctor and the
trained nurse arrived from town an
hour later that he unclasped his fin
gers gently and left her.
He walked up and down the meadow
path smoking quietly.
II WONDER" he exclaimed finally,
'who in thunder Dick isl"
A month later he went down in his
automobile to take her for her first out

''The doctor says you are doing fine

and put an extra cushion for her back.

side her and started the machine.

Bar of Music Versus Bar Of Soap.
The leader of the orchestra at a
Cleveland theater was visited by a
seedy looking individual who asked for
employment az a violinist.
"We'll see what you can do" said the
leader. Here is a violin. I will &C
company you on the piano."
The seedy looking person took his
seat beside the leader, and the two be
gan the duet the latter had selected.
After the first few bars had been
played the caller rasped his bow across
the strings, stopped, leaned forward

head. "Sharps?" he said. "Sharps? ]
never play in sharps"
Whereupon the leader took from him

Seems queer for a girl of twenty-four
to have no relatives at all-got mixed

He gazed at the card abstractedly,
wondering the best course to pursue,
for the company was supposed to be
able to cope with anything unexpected
that might arise. If there were no
relatives to notify, it could at least see
that she had proper medical attention.

She turned her face away.
"Dick was my brother" she said soft
". HE was drowned in the Galveston
