"a sick bed must be changed

protested Helen helplessly.

The flush on Helen's face was
not due wholly to the fever, as she
listened with smoldering resentment
to Miss Saunders authoritative Or

Her aversion for this nurses as
sertive personality had become a
feverish animosity. And her ex-

Miss Saunders was now by the
bed shaking down the thermometer.

Helen, shrinking back.

displeasure. Il never give a 'ther-

Their eyes met in open hostility
as Helen held the glass tube be-

her take it from the chiffonier.
With an air of cold displeasure,
Miss Saunders took her pulse, re-
moved the thermometer and replaced
it, still unwashed.
Knowing her temperature was
taken every few hours, Helen grim

mometer. Would she dare give it
to her again without making even
a pretense at rinsing it?
There had been other things about
which the nurse had seemed mex

ignoring the doctors orders. about

no effort to prop up Helen's head or
to help in the awkward operation.

The sort of thing went on for a long

experienced was so slight. it wasn't
worth talking about, and she was getting
pretty discouraged. I can tell you.

Helen barely tasted the broth. Lesv-
ing the cup on the table, the nurse
rustled out to answer the phone.
Hello - Oh, it's Mr.. Curtis !!
- She's resting very quietly. -
Yes, she's had her broth" -
For the moment, Helen's hostility
was submerged in the thrilled glow
that Warren had called up within an

seemed to Helen that Miss Saunders
deliberately contrived to irritate and
antagonize her. Instead of a nurses
soothing sympathy, her whole atti-
tude was raspingly combative.

"You can tell him anything you

Sick, unstrung, her heart beating
in her throat and arms, Helen lay
in feverish, consuming hatred, as
the nurse swept out
Her head ached, the pillow was
too low. The glass of water was just
beyond her thirsty reach-but she

clumsy solicitude, was ministering
to her wants, Warren, without his
usual heralding of heavy footsteps,
