751e Newest Probationer
By Annie Hinnchsen
(Copyright. I0II. by Associated Literary Press)


 The young physician looked at the girl with the helpless evaporation induced by long and unsuccessful ar gument.
 "Can you not realize the absolute slavery to which you are sentencing yourself?" he demanded.
 Miss Helm tilted her chin a trife higher. "To me it will not be slav- cry. I have chosen my life work. I shall be very happy in it.
 'In month you will ge glad to give it up"
 "I am tired of hearing that" she flared. "Every friend have has said the same thing-that l shall give it up. shall be trained nurse and successful one"
 "But l want you to marry me"
 'I prefer to spend my days with the sick and the suffering"
 "Don't do it, Janet, dear. Marry me and"
 q won't marry you, Lester" she said irritably, 'and want you to stop asking me-"
 Dr. Melville's patients at St. Ma rvs received a great deal of his at tention, especially the ones in the charity wards. In these wards the probation nurses worked. Hospital custom decrees that the newest pro- bationer shall do the most menlal tasks in the institution.
 Each morning when Dr. Melville visited the charity wards he saw Janet Helm, the newest probatloner, practicing the lessons the head nurse had taught her. She secured brass and woodwork and bathtubs. She washed bottles, cleaned instruments and polished floors. One day he stopped beside her as she knelt on the floor.
 Miss Helm," he said with a mali cious emphasis, Chow do you like nursing?"
 She shook out the oiled floor cloth she was using and smiled merrily up at him. "I love it. l am perfectly happy. Go to your patients and don't disturb me. And be careful not to track dust over my clean floors.
 Several days later Dr. Melville found Janet sitting beside the bed of the hospitals oldest inhabitant.
 q have been promoted" she an- nounced proudly. 1 no longer scrub, l have a patient"

obey implicitly every rule of the in- stitution.
 In half an hour Janet appeared. He hurried to meet her. She had been crying, and the tears still clung to her lashes. He drew her to a win dow recess.
 "What was it ?" he asked anxious ly. "Was it very serious?"
 It was the most serious thing that ever happened to me-"
 ''Tell me about it," he urged inn patiently. "Janet, dear, tell me; do you leave the hospital?"
 "Yes."
 ''l feared it. She is cruel and un- reasonable and unjust. You do not deserve her treatment of you. It is an outrage"
 "She is not unreasonable"
 "l have hoped you would tire of the work and leave the hospital. I wanted you to give it up and marry me. But, for your own sake, 1 did

GOOD TIP ABOUT CHECKS
Writing Out the Stub First Is Easy and May Avert Much
 Trouble.

The West side woman was paying with check for some articles she had bought at a department store, and she was carefully filling in the stub of her check book first. 'Oh, don't stop for that" urged her shop ping companion, who was in a hurry, ''you can do that when you get home" Unmoved, the West side woman finished the stub with special care, then wrote the check, gave it to the salesman and said to her impa- tient friend "Before 1 was married 1 took care of some of my fathers ac- counts. The first time he ever asked me to fill out a set of blank checks for him so he could sign them he told me: One rule you must always ob- serve: Write the stub first. Make a VOW to yourself like unto the VOW of Jephtha that you will never write check until the stub is filled. If for any reason you should fail later to write the check it would be a simple matter to cancel the stub, but if you write a check and leave the stub blank you open the door to hun dred chances of mistake. No ones memory can be trusted on that sub- ject. Never try to trust yours. Let the law of "the stub first be to you as the law of the Medes and Persians.
 I have always found it perfectly easy to folio hat rule and that is one reason 1 have a bank account today. My husband is never afraid I will make him any trouble with it."

On her hair rested the hospital cap. She had never worn one be- fore.
 "AIy probation ended today. Miss Sprague sent for me to tell me that l had done so well as probationer that I was entitled to the ranks of the pupil nurses with the honor of wearing the hospital cap. She was lovely; she is not a bit hard or un- reasonable. She talked so beautiful- ly to me that l cried and she kissed me and set the cap on my head"
 ''But you said you were to leave the hospital"
 q am. I leave to marry you. I have demonstrated my ability to en- dure the hardest period of nurses life. I have learned how much you love me. l am ready to leave. 1 shall now demonstrate my ability to be a good wife"

lady. ''It is sure a blessed saint they have given me for my nurse. Such tenderness and gentleness were never before in a woman's fingers as are in these lily hands.
 "Now. am I not a real nurse ?" asked Janet, triumphantly. Her voice was lowered and the deaf old lady could not hear her words. 'I am bringing happiness and comfort to this helpless old woman. Can there be nobler task? What sweet CT compensation can there be than the gratitude of this poor, unfortu- nate woman?"
 As she spoke, the spoon with which she was feeding her patient slipped and the hot broth spilled on Mrs. O'Brien's neck. There was a yell of rage. Two skinny fists were shaken savagely at the girl. From the old woman's toothless mouth came oaths and fearful objurgations.
 "Yes," said Dr. Melville, under the continued storm of Mrs. O'Brien's maledictions, "you will find no sweeter compensation than the gratitude of this helpless old lady,"
 Three months after Janet had en- tered the hospital she and pr. Mel vile were leaving the ward together one evening.
 "Miss Helen," said the head nurse of the ward, Miss Sprague wishes to see you in her office"
 Janet's face whitened and a look of anxiety came into her eyes. Miss Sprague was the superintendent of the hospital. She held little person. al communication with her nurses. A nurse was never summoned to her office except for an important req son. She was the absolute dictator of the hospital, and her rule was a stern one.
 When Janet had gone, Leslie Mel vile walked up and down the long corridor. He was heartsick with anxiety for the girl who had been called to the superintendent's office. He knew well what Miss Sprague's summons had meant to many nurses as hard-working and as faithful as Janet. He had seen them come from her office with white faces to leave the hospital, taking with them the stigma of expulsion. He knew the se- yeritv with which Miss SpraGue's rigorous discipline was enforced. Breaches of hospital etiquette, inno- cent breaking of rules, harmless lapses from the strict hospital stan dard had been charges so serious that a record of faithful service had not prevailed against them, He knew that Miss Sprague held prejudice against society girls as nurses. It was impossible that Janet, the pet ted, indulged, undisciplincd child of a luxurious home, had been able 10
