suspected her OF having made 1t up to
get her patient interested in her.
Walt grew much better. Finally, one
day they put his chair out in the gar
den during the noon hour. The doctor
had just left him after most encour-
aging word to Katherine.
You can figure on leaving about the
first of the month" he said. He's in
fine shape"
Walt heard him, and his eyes dwelt
on the figure in white as it passed back
and forth from the house to the gar
den. Ben was down on the docks doing
the daily marketing. Spring was COM
ing over the island in full beauty all at
once. The breeze from the sea held a
keen, sweet tang Of salt. He began to
feel his heart yearn and life TO 1t like
dropping sail after long becalming.
Katherine came behind his chair and
laid a spray of blossoms from the
plum tree by the well on his shoulder.
They just came out this morning"
she said. Aren't they sweet and frag-
rant?"
He looked up at her slowly.
when are you going away?"
Next week. I'm SO glad you're

Katherine avoided his glance. She
had been a nurse long enough to under
stand that convalescent male is prone
to fall in love with his nurse. For the
time being she represented to him all
of feminine tenderness and disinterest-
ed care. But there was something
sturdy and fine about the captain, even
in his weakness. as he gazed at her,
and showed plainly that old Ben's
teachings and warnings had gone for
naught.
When the doctor came the next morn
ing, she put on her sweater and walked
up to the postoffice with him on pre-
text.
But I'm not after mail" she said.
II want to confess something. If you
don't send me on another case right

keenly. "You's never be satisfied to

I'll be running UP to Providence myself

was sitting outside smoking his last
pipe, Walt told her he loved her. They
stood at the open window looking sea-
ward, and the perfume of plum and
cherry and crab apple trees came to
them richly.
81 haven't hope" he said in his
straightforward way. II know it's all
wrong even to think of you spending
your life here and at sea, but I'm not
the man to let the woman love leave
me without my telling her. I've plenty
for US both with the boats and my
lumber interests. We could live better
than Ben and do. I'd build new

What would Ben say?" asked Kath-
crime, bit TREMENDOUSLY. He turned
and caught the look in her eyes.
You don't mean you would?" He
crushed her hand in his closely.
Would you. Kate? Say yes and leave
Ben to me-"
But outside on the little porch Ben's
chair scraped back, and he called lus-
