CHAPTER III.

In one Of the noisome hospital tents
Nurse Van 1.-the. with a pan full of
sterilized instruments, stood at the sur
geon's side. A young trooper was
about to have his leg amputated at the
wrist, and the beautiful and pure
young nurse throbbed with deep yet
perfectly proper sympathy. Out just

of the charms of her voluptuous figure
as revealed by the alluring, low-necked
pink chiffon nurses uniform she wore,
as prescribed by the army regulations.

ments. A strong sense of the strange
fascination of this pure though chase
me-boys girl was upon him. He did
not look at her, but he knew that her
name was tawny and curled in little
watch springs at the back of her neck;
that her eyelashes made slithering
sound when she lowered them, slowly,
like Venetian blinds; that she looked

almost torn from her back in her
sprint, came Nurse Van 1.-the. II was

Work. So he gritted his bridgework
and turned toward her with expectant,
outstretched palm.
AS he did so he was Mortified at the
girls expression.
She was standing there in all her
whitening voluptuousness with
uplifted head and look in her unsee-
ing eyes of blend of primordial pas
sion, far-focused tenderness, unholy
fanaticism with a dash Of hypnotic
hysteria. "My word" murmured
Catesby. "Can this be she?"
The pan of instruments dropped from
her nerveless though beautiful fingers.
Are you sick?" Catesby's voice was
hoarse with emotion.

was too pure to notice it anyhow. But
