amphitheater of the Massachusetts
general hospital, Boston, new Pro-

to suffering humanity-the prophecy
was fulfilled-nether shall there be
any more pain; a mystery of the ages
had been solved by a daring expert

At a stroke the curse of Eve was re-

He permitted himself an indiscre-

Angie replaced her glass, barely tast-

To Josie's credit it must be admit

Out of the corners of his eyes he
detected the amused look that passed
between the girls. "Oh, very well!'
he said beneath his breath. You may
laugh, but you asked for soda, and
soda you shall have, my dears, if you
die of it," He put himself behind the
counter with an air of great determi-
nation and leaned upon it with both
hands outspread until he realized that
this was the pose of a groceryman.
"Whatll you have?" he demanded gen.

His confusion was becoming painful.
"Oh, is it?" asked Josie helpfully.
Her eyes dwelt upon his with confid-

promptly reduced to babbling idiocy.

sunken upon his breast, eyes fairly
distilling gloom, legs stretched out
carelessly before him, he sat motion
less, suffocating at the bottom Of g
gulf Of discomfort. His lips moved
sometimes noiselessly, again in whis-
pers barely audible.
Years of this! A matter of human
endurance-no, superhuman! If II

and Well, the only way to forget
your misery is to work. I suppose"
He pulled himself together and
stood up, wondering where he had left
his broom, and simultaneously stiffen-
ed with surprise, aware that he was
not alone. A glance, however estab-
lished the connection between the rear
door, which stood ajar, and the young
woman who stood staring at him ir
interest stupefaction.
He was quick to see the intelligence
in Betty Graham's mutinous eyes and
the sweet lines of her mouth, too often
shaped in sullen mold, and no less
quick to recognize that she would car
ry herself well, with spirit and dignity
once she were relieved of household
toll and moil, once given the chance to
discard her shapeless, bedraggled and
threadbare garments for those dainty
and beautiful things for which her
starved heart must be sick with long
ing.

toneless. What are you doing herei

Yes, I'm his daughter, but
MY name is Nathaniel Duncan. Mr.

Her stare continued, intense, resent
full, undertaking.

That's my intention, Miss Graham
He nodded gravely.
What for?"
ITO learn the drug business"
"Oh-h!" She flung herself a pace
away impatiently. I'm not a child
and I don't want to be talked to like
one"
Il didn't mean to annoy you"-
well, you do. You've got no busi-
ness in a rundown place like this, you
with your fine clothes and your fine
airs. You didn't come here to learn
the drug business. You know as vel
as do you've got some other motive
There was a truth in that to sting
him. He smarted under its lash, but
held his temper in check because he
was sorry for the girl. Perhaps
you're right" he conceded-"perhaps
have some other motive. But that's
neither here nor there. I'm here and

well, saying you do mean to work
here
II do"
You're making a mistake" she
snapped. Father can't pay you moth
ing"
He'll pay me all I'm WORTH" said
Duncan meekly.
She glared at him an instant longer
then, mute for lack Of a sufficiently
scornful retort, turned and ran back uI
the steps, slamming the door behind
her.

Very WELL" Josie told him sweetly,
I'll have the vanilla"
He thanked her with unnecessary
effusion and turned to inspect the
glassware. There could be no mis-
take about the right jar, however;
there was nothing but vanilla, and,
seizing it, he removed the metal cap
and placed it before the girls. With
less ease he discovered whisky glass
and put it beside the bottle. with a
cordial wave of the hand.
A pause ensued. Duncan was smil-
ing fatuously, serene in the belief that
he had solved the problem-the way to
serve soda was to make them help
themselves. 1t was very simple, only
they didn't. With a start he became
sensible that they were eying him
strangely.
"You-ah-wanted vanilla, did you
not?"
Yes, thanks, vanilla" Josie agreed.
We'll, that's it," he said firmly, in
dicating the jar and the glass.
Josie giggled. But l don't want to
drink it clear. You put the sirup in
the glass, you know, and then the So
da."
"Oh. l see, You want to make a
highba-ah-a long drink of it. All,
yes" He procured a glass of the reg
ulation size. Now l understand" A
pause. IF you'll be good enough to
help yourself to the sirup."
No, you do it," Josie pleaded.
Certainly" He lifted the whisky
glass and the jar and began to pour.
IF you'll just say when"
What? oh, that's enough, thank
YOU"
IF | ever get out of this fix I'll blow
the whole shooting match" he prom
ised himself, holding the glass beneath
the faucet and fiddling nervOusly with
the valves. For a moment he fancied
the tank must be empty, for nothing
came of his efforts. Then abruptly the
| fixture seemed to explode. "A gey-
SER" he cried, blinded with the dash
of carbOnated water and sirup in his
face. while he fumbled furiously with
! the valves.
AS UNEXPECTEDLY as it had begun the
flow ceased. He put down the glass
| found his handkerchief and mopped
his dripping face. When able to see
again he discovered the young women
leaning against one Of the showcases
weak with laughter. but at a safe re-

apologized But if you'll stay where
