this mistake and admit another leper.
It was almost dark when DR.. Chalmers
examined her; she wore q light veil,
and the symptoms she gave were en-
tirely misleading. They tried to get
her in the United States quarantine
station, but they refused to take her.

the streets, so that's the quandary in

It was said Of Staples that he gave
his patients such unfailing gentleness
that he had none left for any one else.
If his creed for those who chose the life
of service was stern, it was untainted
by selfshness; If he exacted much from
others, he was absolutely unsparing
to himself.
Cecilia made three efforts to rise be
fore she could control her rebelliOus
body and quivering nerves. As she went
to bring the water she heard DR.. Frost
say:
You were pretty hard on her,
weren't you? She will never be able to
hold out in this work"
4 prophesy her ultimate victory"
Staples replied.
She turned involuntarily, and her eyes
met his grave, kind ones. Gratitude
and comprehension flashed into her own.
There was no intercourse between
doctors and nurses at the hospital. ex-
cept an occasional cIandestine Irritation.
Cecilia was often thrown with DR.. Sta
pies in his professional capacity, and
she appreciated his skill and his re

emergency case, and he found Cecilia
there Generally the very regularity of
her beauty gave it a degree Of GOODNESS,
but today she looked like an embar-
raised girl instead of a calm goddess.
q can't do anything with him; he
won't let me touch him. He-he thinks
that I am"
The Irfshman saved her the trouble Of
finishing.
"Howly Mother" he exclaimed, cross
ing himself. "'Tis too great honor
we've done me, intoirely! " It's goin'
ter hiven 1 am, emmy wan ~ yer decent
young angels cud take me without
thrOubling yer blessed silfr"
Staples Joined Cecilia in a good laugh
that seemed to put a friendly under
standing behind them.
On the happy day that Cecilia's proba-
ton ended and the coveted nurses cap
was given her, some Of the medical stu
dents sent her a clothes basket full Of
Parma violets. From her Kentucky
home she received a lone telegram Of
congratulation and a round robin" Of
regret.
But to Cecilia the days significance
was embodied in the marble Victory
that came with Staples card.
In spite of his assurance to Miss Haw-
kins, Staples felt a strange sinking at
heart as he passed down the hall Of the
contagious pavilion in the gray morning.
The door Of room II was ajar, and its
occupant had already dressed. When
he saw that she was alone he caught
his breath sharply, and then remem-
bered, with quick relief, that it lacked a
few minutes to seven. In another mo-
ment ne heard a light fOotstep, and he
stepped into the vacant room opposite.
Cecilia's eyes had the wide, unseeing
look that they wore the day she went
for the little boys water. There was
about her the unmistakable stamp of
spiritual conflict, painfully won. At the
door she paused for a tense instant.
The woman was sitting on the floor,
in the corner by the radiator. so that
the high iron bed was between Cecilia
and herself. and IL gave one the impress
sion of looking at an animal in a cage.
Indeed the undefnable resemblance she
bore to a lion struck Staples so forci-
bly, that he felt as II she must roar.
Her skin was a notified brown; she had
lost all eyebrows, the eyelashes were

very long and thin, the lids saggy and
beloved out; the nose was f1attened,
the alae pulled out; the mouth elon-
gated and heavily dropped at the cor
ners.
How could Saunders have failed to
recognize leprosy7" thought Staples,
with the Impotence Of an accurate dag
nostician over so palpable a mistake.
Good morning; 1 hope you slept
Well" said Cecilia Il am your nurse"
Though the words were forced and
mechanical, nothing could alter the
sweetness of her voice.
Amt there some mistaken" asked
the patient wOnderingly. 1T don't seem
natural for a fine lady Ike you to be
waitin' on the likes Of me. I should
think you'd get hired somewheres else
4 hope she won't" said Staples. en-
tering. "She is the best Of nurses, so
don't you persuade her into some other
work, Mrs. Long"
He put out his hand and took hers
in his firm, strong grasp. 1t touched
him to feel how the slender fingers were
trembling.
But house girls don't have such long
hours, and they get Thursday and Sun
day afternoons of" persisted Mrs.
Long,
A wan little smile crept to the girls
lips. The doctor chatted for some time
to Mrs. Long, and then beckoned to
Cecilia to follow him out Of the room.
He had taken the precaution to write
down the minutest Instructions In re-
gard to disinfectants and the proper
sanitary precautions.
There are more directions for me
than for my patient"
Just make her as comfortable as you
can, and carry out the orders concern
ing her. There is no cure for her, poor
soul shall come in as often as I can.
and help you all 1 can. Be careful but
don't be afraid"
Many times during that long morning
the thought Of his sympathy comforted
her. She remembered how one Of the
doctors, a Kentuckian whom she had
known at home, had characterized Sta
pies;
He's the hundredth man, a man Of
his own peculiar kind. Professionally,
I don't know a man Of his years who
has done such brilliant work. Though
there are men here whose names are
known throughout the country, in a few
years Staples viii rank an easy first.
Most men have two sides. I have known
squares and even octagons; but Staples
mas JUST one slQe-LllG professional ne
machine all the way through. I've
watched the man with beautiful women,
clever women, magnetic women. and
they're all one to him, and the whole
bunch less interesting than a hobo with
complicated symptoms. That's why
women are apt to be foolish about him.
Let man be impersOnal, and the whole
of wOmankind rises as a unit and re-
sents it, A very charming woman told
me that just after her operation, Staples
was so gentle in his manner, so exqui-
sitely cOnsiderate Of her comfort, so
watchfUl by night and by day. that she
thought cOmpIaCently that If he liked
her so much when she was at her worst,
how captlvated he would be when she
again had the advantage Of her pretty
gowns and her artistic maid. But dear

which the poor dear hospital finds
itself"
Mamie had talked very fast, fearing
an interruption. Cecilia's eyes were
full of tears.
Mamie, I was about to run away. ]
was thinking only of myself. If I for
sake my place some one will have to
I'LL it, some one will have TO do my
work. You have made me see things
as they are, you dear, unselfsh heartl
I will stay and do my own work"
"Oh, Cecilia. if you should take that
frightful diseased sobbed Mamie. 1T
wouldn't matter so much about a
brown witch like mel"
Hurry back to your room, Nancy;
the lights will be out in minute. You
shan't call yourself names; you are my
good angel" said Cecilia, laying her
soft cheek caressingly against her
friends.
Alone again, she sat for a long time
looking out into the darkness. The
room grew cold, and she shivered IN
consciously. She tried to adjust her
thoughts to the horror Of the duty that
lay before her, the loathsOme contact
the possible contamination. When the
dawn broke she put on her uniform
again, without having touched her bed
her lips quivered into a tremulous
smile. and with a swift impulse she
knelt and kissed the cold purity Of Vic
tory.
The superintendent had reported to
the chief resident physician, DR.. sta
pies, that Miss Castleton had refused
the leper case, and that Miss Despard,
Of course with Miss CastletOn's sane
ton, had volunteered for it. She was
relieved at the turn OF affairs, for other
wise Miss Castleton's INSTRUMENTATION
must have been punished with dismissal,
but now the formality of an apology and
a retraction could do away with that ne
cessity. The leper case would be kept
from the publicity-fOr many reasons
to be deprecated-which might follow
upon the dismissal Of a nurse Of so
prominent a family.
Staples heard her through in silence.
Don't agftate yourself over the mat
ter, Miss Hawkins" he said. and the
usual positive ring IN his voice was IN
usually in evidence. Miss CastletOn will
be sure TO report for duty in the morn
ing. Naturally she recoiled from the
idea at first"
Miss Hawkins lifted her brows some
what increduOusly, but left him without
replying.
Hes like all the rest" she thought,
Men always pin their faith to a pretty
face. But he is so wrapped up in his
work I didn't know he would notice
whether a nurse squinted or wore Cog
giles. I'm sure he never speaks to me"
There she was mistaken, for Staples
had spoken to Miss GastletOn twice.
A brick mason had been brought in.
his face a bloody pulp from fall. Ce-
ella, then a probationer, had been called
upon to assist with the dressing for the
first time. Staples noticed her tncreas-
ing pallor, and that she was biting her
lip fiercely in the effort to regain her
self-control. When the dressings were
done she collapsed, though without los
| ing consciousness.
DR.. Frost went at once to her assist
ance. It's all over" he assured her
/ sOothingly.
DR.. Staples incisive voice cut in:

years ago when they were young-bride
and bridegroom together. On the box

been with them through all their fifty
years Of welded life.
Milady helped her husband IN and
then took a seat by his side. James
needed no directing and started away
without a word. As the ancient coupe

hour before he awakened. When he
