a strange doctor at random? She
dreaded doing that.
Warren called her and she hurried
in to him.
Her breathings thicker" he said,
anxiously. Whats the matter
Can't you get any one7"
NO" gasped Helen, wringing her
hands nervously.
well, get someone, as long as he's
a doctor. It's serious" And Helen
hurried back to the telephone and al
ter a hasty consultation of the tele-
phone book, she called up the first doc
tor she could find, DR.. Beres1ord Ao-
bot. A cross voice answered her ring.
but she was too anxious to care. and
she explained as quickly as possible
the circumstances.
"I know that it is asking a great
deal to have you come up here to-
night" she said deprecatingly, but
my little girl has Group, and our own
doctor is out of town"
The voice at the other end grunted
out a question, which Helen answered:
Get some hot water, lots or 1t,
the doctor ordered, "Ill be up in about
ten minutes"
It was long ten minutes, and at
the first ring of the bell, Helen flew TO
the door to admit a tall, badly dressed
individual with a strong lean face,
who brought in an odor of tobacco
with him. She would have regarded
him curiously If she had not been so
worried, but as it was, she simply led
the way into the bedroom where War
rem was still holding Winifred in his
arms.
The Doctors Orders
The doctor took the child, and
Helen marveled at the tenderness he
displayed. Then he laid her down
gently and turned to Helen.
PIN a sheet to the chandelier" he
ordered brusquely," and put a chair
and a table underneath. Then bring
in your teakettle. Be sure the waters
boiling"
Helen did as he asked and watched
him as he lifted Winifred from the
bed and gave her a spoonful of medi-
cine which he mixed in a glass. Then
he carried her to the center of the
room and wrapped the sheet about her
so as to form a tent. He beckoned to
Helen, who followed him inside.
The doctor was holding Winifred
over the steaming spout of the kettle
that Helen had carried in. The air
became close and Helen breathed with
difficulty, but gradually the dreadful
rasping in Winifred's throat grew cas-
Ter. She struggled as the steam pene-
trated her lungs but the doctor held
her firmly and very gently. After a
long breath, he carried the child back
to bed, Helen, white faced and trem-
bling, followed him meekly and watch
ed while he gave the child another
spoonful Of the dark medicine and
covered her up.
She'll be all right now" he said,
shortly Keep her we'll covered up
and try to get some sleep yourself-it's S
over now-there's no more worry"
''who was the cranky old duck %
said Warren. slipping his arm about
Helen as she leaned against him, and
they stood looking down at Winifred,
who was breathing easily now.
"I don't know, dear-some one ]
found listed under the AS in the teIe-
phone book. I never asked him how
much his call was, either, but of
course he will send his bill Whatever
should we have done without him,
dear?"
Don't think about It," said Warren,
husl1ily; you'd better lie down here by
Winifred and get some sleep. You're
all tagged OUT
And Helen, with a weary sigh, lay
down beside her baby and closed heI
tied eyes.
