w some subtle change IN the room.

had not noticed it particularly before.
II had been a par of the restful whole.
But suddenly he fOund the fresh face
OF a girl peering down at him, her eyes
twinksed. and she lowered over him for
a moment
Then he realized that 1t was Marjory.
Eben put out his arms and a sharp cry
Of excitement escaped him. She yielded
TO his embrace for a few brief ecOnd
But you mustn't" she cried, break

You shouldn't have come here. It

Marjory stopped suddenly and jumped
back, turning toward the door. A soft
step had attracted her attention.
II was the hospital doctor. He had a
severe look on his face and stepped
quickly TO Eben's side to take his pulse.
You've excited him, Miss Bonner. 30

she had a little cot I'm a room near
