crowd, the greater the percentage Of
accidents to be reckoned with at the
hospital. Added to this. the list Of
fireworks accidents would be sufacent
to keep indoors a few extra nurses.
The crowds began early to troop
to the island by boat, train, trolley

Of the new scenic railway watched
his ticket agent busily handing out
admissions TO the platform. He
walked about the premises with

But-Allan Donaldson. inventor.

alone-and lonely. There was no one
with whom he felt at home. He could
see not one familiar face in the vast
throng. He almost longed for the
good old Fourths back in the small
Ohio town where his father had taught
him how to handle fireworks.
Suddenly. he heard the changing of

as quickly as possible to one side to
avoid him. passed over his hand.
Allan jumped quickly to his side
and gathered the screaming lad to his
shoulder. telling the surgeon on the
back OF the ambulance to drive on.
He. himself. carried the boy to the hos
pital. for he knew that the rubber

damage. The child WAS more fright

operated on the large pleasure island
where he spent his summers. During
the winter he took charge Of con-
cession In q southern resort. In either
climate he found 1t unsafe to operate
the cars In the rain. even though there
were passengers willing to take a
chance. He was too conscientious to
take risks with human life. even for
the sake Of a great deal Of money.
This was his sixth week at the Is

testing every bit Of machinery as II
was ready to operate. He was care
full to see that not a flaw existed In
any part Of the tracks or plant. It
was to this that he owed clean rec.

him. And she-this little nurse in

far removed from the life Of The
island as did the sacred recesses OF

sion Of her daily recreation that he
chanced to see her.
He learned to watch for her and he
invariably saw her turn straight from
tho hospital gates toward the sandy
beach and the great stretch OF ocean
beyond. Never once did she wander
through the gay white streets OF the
amusement village. The brilliant
spectacle seemed not to attract her.
On the contrary. It seemed as II It
were distasteful to her. Why. Allan
Donaldson wondered. had she chosen
such a place?
In a quiet way he had tried to find
out who she was and who were her
friends, but aside from the fact that
she was Miss Winifred Atwood. the
most capable nurse in the institution.
he could learn nothing.
Occasionally he met her face to face
as she walked by the sea, and once,
when she looked into his face IN
passing. he saw that she was more
beautiful than he had suspected. The
