being chosen from many.
The voices were very clear.

probably not. She knows it's COM
ing; that's ALL"
Sometimes I have wondered"
$50 have others. She oughtn't to
be here, of course. But among so many
there is bound to be one now and then
who-whO isn't quite"
She hesitated, at a loss for a word.
"Did you-did you ever think over
that troublewith Miss Page about the
medicines? That would have been
easy, and like her."
"She hates Miss Page, of course, but
I hardly think If that's true, it was
nearly murder"
There were two voices, young one,
full of soft southern infections, and an
older voice, trifie hard, as from disil-
fusion.
They were working as they talked.
Sidney could hear the clatter of bot
ties on the tray, the scraping of, a
moved table.
'He was crazy about her last fall"
Miss Page" (The younger voice,
with thrill in IT'D

81 saw her with him In his car one
evening. And on. her vacation last
summer"
The voices dropped to a whisper.
Sidney, standing cold and white by the
sterilizer, put out a hand to steady
herself. So that was it! No wonder
Carlotta had hated her. She was
steady enough in a moment, cool and
calm, moving about her work with ice
cold hands and slightly-narrowed eyes.
To sort of physical nausea was sue
ceeding anger, blind fury of injured
pride. He had been in love with Car
lotta and had tired of her. He was
bringing her his warmed-over emotions.
She remembered the bitterness of her
months exile, and its probable cause.
Max had stood by her then. Well he
might, if he suspected the truth.
For just moment she had an illumi-
mating flash of Wilson as he really was,
selfish and self-indulgent, just trifle
too carefully dressed, daring as to eye
and speech, with neutrality-suspicious.
daring, frankly pleasure-loving. She
put her hands over her eyes.
The voices in the next room had
risen above their whisper.
Genius has privileges, of course"
said the older voice. 'He is a very
great surgeon. Tomorrow he is to do
the Edwardes operation again. am
glad I am to see him do it."
Sidney still held her hands over her
eyes. He was great surgeon: in his
hands he held the keys of life and
death. And perhaps he had never
cared for Carlotta: she might have
thrown herself at him. He was man,
at the mercy of any scheming woman.
She tried to summon his image to
her aid. But curious thing happened.
She could not visualize him. Instead,
there came, clear and distinct, a pic
ture of &. LIE Moyne in the hall of the
little house, reaching one of his long
arms to the chandelier over his head
and looking up at her as she stood on
the stairs.

CHAPTER XVIII.

Sidney went into the operating room
late in the spring as the result of a
conversation between the younger Will
son and the Head.
"When are you going to put my
protegee into the operating room?''
asked Wilson, meeting Miss Gregg in
a corridor one bright spring afternoon.
"That usually comes in the second
year, Doctor Wilson"
He smiled down at her. "That isn't
a rule, is it?'
"Not exactly. Miss Page is very
young, and of course there are other

Waste Not, Want Not.

Among the blessings that will
result from this great war Ito
those who are not killed before
it is over) will be a lesson in
economic living. Extravaganza
in expenditures in everyday life
are sapping the lifeblood of our
people. We have become a ma
ton of spendthrifts. There is
a disposition to live beyond ones
income, be that little or much;
the family with an income of five
thousand a year is just as likely
to be short when the twelve
months have passed as the one
with five hundred, The trouble
lies in trying to keep pace with
the fellow ahead.
The family with an income of
one thousand dollars a year,
tries to live in the same style"
as the family with two thousand;
the family of five thousand, with
that of ten thousand.
The secret of success lies in
being content to live within your
income. If the average person
would put into a savings bank
the one-half of the money he
spends each year for foolish
ness" things that he could just
as well do with out, there would
be very few people who would
not have money ahead all the
time, and be just as comfortable
and happy.
Just at this season, when the
shops are full of Christmas
Goods" it is a good time to draw
a line. Don't buy what you do
not need; and do not think you
need something when you do not.
Thousands, yes millions, of dol
lars are spent every holiday
season for things that could be
just as well dispensed with.
Cut out that Christmas pres
ent business. Buy some nice
cards and send one to each OF
your friends at cost of a few
pennies. Your friend will be
just as happy in the thought that
you have not forgotten him, and
that friend will not feel that you
have placed him under obligation
to get present for you. You
know how it is yourself.
