Her First
Case
by JEAN NJ. COLMER

Elizabeth returned from her first
ambulance class flushed, but elated.
For the first time in her nottoo-
eventful existence of twenty one years,
Elizabeth was reused. The call to
arms was sounding; brave men flock
ed to join the reserve force; brave
women felt the call also and did their
utmost to nip their incompetency in
the bud. Elizabeth, too, was carried
away by the universal enthusiasm,
and. with feelings of excitement not
unmixed with alarm, she attended
classes Of "frst-aid," and rejoiced to
feel herself at last a useful member
Of the community.
Elizabeth In her ardour became
even more trying to the family circle
than in her previous lethargic state.
No room in the home and no mem.
Der OF the household could escape the
merciless hand Of Elizabeth In all the

The drawing-room. an elegant apart

Tobir Oliver, the artist, lived with
his mother and little sister Clarissa in
rather nice boarding house; so nice,
Indeed, that in order to meet the
board bill the divers had to tuck
themselves away In two tiny rooms on
the fourth floor back.
Tobin was a patient, kindly person.

q stoop to his shoulders which made
him look very much older than he
should, for he was still very young
When he was boy he had had
dreams, even as other young artists

astound the world but now that his
father was dead and he had his moth
or and sister TO support, he chiefly
dreamed Of lodging the laundryman,
and spent his idle moments In figuring
how TO pay for Clarissa's schooling.
These calculations allowed of no
margins for expensive recreation, yet
Tobin was contemplating piece Of

Clarissa was an uncOmfortably clev.

and frightfully long legs. She was
Tobin's only model. and posed for
everything he did, from fat policemen
and colored mammies, to fashion
plates and soothing syrup babies. She
was draped over a chair now, with

taking her TO the circus. so he pre-.
tended TO be very busy with his pic

paint on the highly colored cheeks Of
the American belle.
But Clarissa was not thus easily ri.

chair and repeated insistently:

81 don't know whether you can or not.
I'll think 1t over and see II 1t can be
managed"
That Quieted the trusting Clarissa,
but Tobin began to feel shamefully
deceitful He knew that he was not
going to take Clarissa to the circus,
as he had already planned to take
some one else. the most precious per-
son In the world. For in the front
room of Mrs. Bosey's fourth floor lived

Diana Garland was an energetic, hap
by little woman, with red hair and
snappy eyes, and though she smiled
very often In public Tobin wisely sus-
pected that she cried rather often in
private. Teaching music In a third
rate boarding school Is not the ideal
existence for a girl, and whenever an
anxious quicker appeared on Diana's
white brow. Tobin knew that she was
feeling rather forlorn.
There was trouble at the boarding
school one week and the pucker stayed

bin feared II was becoming permanent.
He longed to comfort her, but there
was nothing he could do until Diana
remarked quite casually one morning
that the circus was coming to town

brella would be decidedly in the way,
Elizabeth was not so fully equipped
for emergency as was her custom.
IL happened in this way.
AS Elizabeth passed the park gates
In her motor, young man rode out in
to the road. His horse was nervous,
and chose to take fright at the big
car. Elizabeth did not see clearly
Just what happened, which was not
surprising, as she shut her eyes and
placed her fingers firmly in her ears
as the horse began to plunge.
To be quite fair, however, Elizabeth
recovered quickly, and flinging open
the window, ordered Richards to pull
up instantly. She then dismounted,
splendidly Directoire as she was. and
ran quickly through the mud to where
the young man lay in the midst Of q
swiftly gathering crowd.
Forcing her way to his side, she
took In the situation at glance.
Pushing away the policeman who was
supporting the boys head, she pulled
OF her Directoire jacket, and rolling
1t into ball with fine carelessness,
she placed II in the mud as a sup
port TO the young mans shoulders.
Imagine her surprise when, as she was
about to make an elaborate Uranium
bandage" upon the Esmark basis, stall
wart young woman forced her way
through the crowd and knelt down at
his other side with a look of great
determination upon her stern features.
Elizabeth was nonplussed, and regard
ed her rival with annoyance, which
became more acute as she watched
the young woman produce scissors
and pins from her pocket and an i'm
mense handkerchief from her sleeve.
Elizabeth got up from her knees and
looked round her in dismay to have
her lawful prey snatched from her

there In great indecision, her eye fell
upon another female form forcing It.
self to the center Of the crowd. The
newcomer, fair girl of seventeen or
SO, advanced rapidly and with q bust
ness.like air, rolling up her sleeves az
she came. The sight Of another in
possession did not seem to disturb her
In the least; she knelt also in the
mud, and for lack of something bet
ter to do. fell to hopping the brow
of the PROSTATE young man with two
inch handkerchief. Elixabeth's gaze
grew wilder, she took q step back
wards and turned to fee. As she did
SO, she collided violently with a girl
who, armed with rolls Of 'Esmark,"
was flying towards the scene of action.
Elizabeth pressed her brow in an
guish. She caught the policeman's
eye-even he was was smiling, and
a subdued litter went round the
crowd.
With a shudder Elizabeth gathered
up her clinging skirts, now decorat-
ed with huge patches Of mud, and
fled away through the press. With
a cry Of Joy she saw the motor drawn
up beside the curb. and with q sob
she flung herself inside and slammed
the door.
1t was only when she had left tho
scene Of action far behind that Eliz-
abeth thought of her Directoire jack
ct lying in puddle beneath the young
mans shoulders. The thought was
too much for her and she dissolved
into tears.
