They brought Limpy into St. Bar.
naby's hospital one cold night in De.
cember. He was as old and wrinkled
as baked apple. For years he had
occupied the same corner near the big
bridge, sitting beside his chestnut
rooster. with a charcoal pail burning
in front of him to keep him warm.
This particular night must have
been colder than the others. for Linz
py had succumbed to Jack Frost, and
it was a wonder even his wooden leg
hadn't chilblains on it, the doctor In
Ward 9 laughingly told Nurse Alice
when he turned Limpy over to her.
Alice went back to the new patient,
and found Limpy regarding her sus.

kind of a charity hospital, trying to
take roor old lame feller's leg away
from him."
Don't you worry Alice assured
him, happily. "l'll get it for you,
right away. OF course yon miss it."
She procured an order from young
Doctor Meredith and ten minutes lat
er the old wooden leg stood by
Limpy's cot. 1t was the rudest sort
of a substitute with large top, hOl-
lowed out, and straight reg to rest
on. I.impy's eyes rested on it with
perfect cOntentment, when Alice set 1t
beside him.

nurse" he promised her. whimsically.
ITS been a good old friend to me,
and you never can tell what might
happen. 1t might come In handy

At the end of the week, she and

the doctor was examining it care

they hoped to marry-sOme day, when
Burton had finished his full course
and started practicing. He told her
he would go to small town along the
shore, where there was steady fam.
lily call for physicians, and he had
even drawn up house plan for her
of the first nest they two were to
build.
There was much time for woong
at the great, busy metropolitan hos.
pital; but sometimes. in the long
night watches in Ward ., the doctor
would come in and talk with Nurse
Alice. I.impys eyes were always
closed at these times. but he heard
many things, things that he had al
most forgotten existed in the hard,
cold FLOODED world that bought chest
nuts from him. He found that even
in the house of pain and death, Love
takes his daily constitutional as a
king around his palace. and finds his
worshipers. But his voice was still
gruff when he answered the nurse,
and he found fault steadily with the
young doctor who was striving to
save his worthless old life.
One day when the ebb had started
the wrong way. he looked up at Alice.
She had just smOothed back his gray
hair and given him fresh drink His
shrewd old gray eyes watched her
grimly.

Alice told him, gently. That's part Of
the reason why. We have to be good
for something, or We wouldn't be al.

so, maybe so, nurse. Say. you know

Alice biushed. and wondered how
10 knew about the nest building. and
cid Limpy thought how sweet and
pure her face looked under the little
frilled white cap. Once back in the
past there had been a girl sister Of
his over IN Scotland. little girl
named Jeanne, that had died young
and she looked that way. too. Limpy
had very nearly forgotten her, while

which some members of the "submerg-

The clergyman is brother Of Rob

of the family handles many men at his
