at the foot of the bed behind him. He
turned somewhat uneasily and tried to
sit where he could see her face but
she kept herself In such o position that
he could not do this.
ss We will call the girl Flora, con.

over any realm Of thought that the
subject ] have begun to write about
seems to inspire and you do not seem
bored or ask me to get back to the
real matter in hand.
OF course, Pat, being in love with a
trained nurse, thinks the whole pro.
fession is little better than any other
body Of women, but he submitted more
or less gracefully when told him that
only by making the heroine Of my
story trained nurse could l account
for theii falling In love In plausible
fashion.
Then. continued, the boy as soon
as possible gets out and secs the lit.
tie nurse. He tells her that his pa.
rents object, but as they never had re.
fused him anything he was quite sure
he would be able to bring them over.
So sure Of this Is he that he insists
she shall go and furnish little apart
ment for them to live in after mar.
rage.
He also arranges with the credit
man at his fathers store that anything
she buys there shall be charged to
him.
The girl does this all in good faith
and the little apartment begins to look
like home. In the meantime, the boy
does not succeed in making his pa.
rents consent to his marriage.
They become aware Of the apartment
but not before the boy has told the
girl that 1t will take longer than he
thought to get their consent, and at
the little home they have made she
gives herself to him In faith and love.
