However Harriet had hardened her
self against the girls arrival, all she
had meant to say fled when she saw
Sidney's clrcled eyes and pathetic
mouth.
"You child" she said. "You poor
little grill" And took her to her cor
seted bosom.
For the time at least, Sldney's world
had gone to pieces about her. All her
brave vaunt Of service faded before
her disgrace.
When Christine would have seen her,
she kept her door locked and asked for
lust that one evening alone. But after
Harriet had retired, Sidney unbolted

every well; I'll CO."
Carlotta Ind gone by that time
gone with hate in her heart and black
despair. She knew very well what the
issue would be. Sidney would drive
with him. and he would tell her how
lovely she looked with the air on her
face and the snow about her. The
jerky motion of the little sleigh would
throw them close together. How well
she knew it all! He would touch Sid
ney's hand darlngly and smile In her
eyes. Tint was his method: to play at
lOve-mnking like an audaciOus boy, I'M
til quite suddenly the cloak dropped
and the danger was there.
If she could get Sidney out OF the
hospital, it would simplify things. She
surmised shrewdly that on the Street
their interests were wide apart. 1t was
here that they met on common ground.
Carlotta gave the tive-OclOck medi-
clnes. Then she sat down ut the table
near the door, with the tray In front OF
her. There are certain thoughts that
are at first functions of the brain;
after long time the spinal cord takes
them up and converts them into acts
almost automatically. Perhaps because
for the last month she had done the
thing so often in her mind, Its actual
performance was almost without con-
sclous thought.
Carlotta took q bottle from her
medicine cupboard, and, writing a new
label for it, pasted it over the old one.
Then she exchanged 1t for one OF the
same size on the medicine tray.
Throughout the dining room busy
and competent young women came and
ate, hastily or leisurely as their oppor-
tumty was, and went on their way
again. In their hands they held the
keys, not always Of life and death per"
haps, but of ease from pain, Of tender
ness, of smooth pillows, and cups OF
water to thirsty lips. In their eyes,
as In Sldney's, burned the light OF serv-
ice. The supper room was filed with
their soft voices, the rustic of their
skirts, the CLEAN Of their stlff white
caps.
When Carlotta came in, she greeted
none of them. They did not like her,
and she knew It.
Before her, instead Of the tidy sup
per table. she was seeing the medicine
tray as she had left It.
'T guess I've fixed her." she said to
herself.
Her very soul was sick with fear Of
what she had done.
