Perhaps. But it's always up to the

He felt UNNECESSARILY old beside
Joe's boyish clustering - old and
rather helpless.
"I'm watching him. Some of these
days I'll get something on him. Then
she'll know what to think of her
hero !"
That's not quite square, is it?"
Hes not square,"
Joe left him then, wheeling abrupt
ly off into the shadows. x. had gone
home alone, rather uneasy. There
seemed to be mischief in the very air.
Harriet's business instinct had been
good. She had taken expensive
rooms in a good location, and fur
nished them with the assistance of a
decorator. Her climbing was not so
rapid as to make her dizzy; but bust
ness was coming. Tho first time she

Immediately after and took a drink
of water. Her throat was parched.
She began to learn little quips of the
feminine mind. No woman over thirty
but was grateful for her pink-and-gray
room with its soft lights. And Har-
riet herself conformed to the picture.
She took a lesson from the New York
modistes, and wore trailing black
gowns. She strapped her thin figure
into the best corset she could get, and
had her black hair marccIed and

MONEY FOR RURAL HIGHWAYS
Run Longer Than 80 Years, Say
Agricultural Experts.

Bonds sold for county highway i'm
provement, in the opinion of road spe-
cialists of the department of agricul-
sure, should never run for more than
80 years, and retirement even earlier
is better where this can be accom-
plished without too great an increase
in the tax rate. 1t is dangerous prac-
tice to have bonds run for a long Pc
riod, because in such cases the in
debtedness often outlives the estimated
life of the improvements made with
the money so raised. Money borrowed
to build roads should be repaid by
those who enjoy the benefit of the i'm
provements thus financed, and not to
be debt upon those who gain no bene-
fit from the expenditure.

these there was the sound of Doctor
Max's step in the corridor, and his
smiling nod from the door; there was
"a "God bless you" now and then for
the comfort she gave; there were
wonderful nights on the roof under
the stars, until KS little watch
warned her to bed.
X. was having his own troubles in
those days. Late at night, when Anna
and Harriet had retired, he sat on
the balcony and thought of many
things. Anna Page was not well. He
had noticed that her lips were rather
blue, and had called in Doctor Ed. II
was valvular heart disease. Anna
was not to be told, or Sidney. 1t was
Harriet's ruling.
Sidney can't help any," said Har-
riet, land for heavens sake let her
have her chance. Anna may live for
years. You know her as well as ]
do. If you tell her anything at all
she'll have Sidney here, waiting on
her hand and foot.
And LIE Moyne, fearful of urging too
much because his own heart was cry
ing out to have the girl back, assented.
Then, K. was anxious about Joe.
The boy did not seem to get over the
thing the way he should. Now and
then LIE Moyne, resuming his old habit
of Wearying himself into sleep, would
walk out into the country. On one
such night he had overtaken Joe,
tramping along with his head down.
Joe had not wanted his company,
had plainly sulked. But LIE Moyne
had persisted.
"Tll not talk" he said; "but since
we're going the same way, we might
as well walk together"
But after a dine joe talked, after
all. 1t was not much at first-a fever
ish complaint about the heat, and that
if there was trouble in Mexico he
thought he'd go.
"Wait until fall, if you're thinking
of it." X. advised. "This is tepid COM
pared with what you'll get down
there"

K. nodded understapdingly. Since

both knew that no explanation was
necessary.
For almost twenty minutes they
tramped on without speech. They
had made a circle, ard the lights of
the city were close again. K. stopped
and put kindly hand on Joe's Shout
der.
"a mans got to stand up under a
thing like this, you know. I mean, it
mustn't be knockout. Keeping
busy is a darned good method"
Joe shook himself free, but without
resentment.

"Well, this is the question: She's
getting better. She'll be going out
soon. Don't you think something
ought to be done to keep her from
going back?"
There was a shadow in KS eyes
now. She was so young to face all
this; and yet, since face it she must,
how much better to have her do it
squarely.
Does she want to change her mode
of life?''
Il don't know, of course. There are
some things one doesn't discuss. She
cares a great deal for some man. The

gave her newspaper, and after a
while / found the paper on the floor.

tients avoid her, and it was some time
before l noticed it. The next day she
told me that the man was going to
marry someone else. He wouldn't
marry me, of course she said; but
he might have told me-"
LIE Moyne did his best, that after
noon in the little parlor, to provide
Sidney with philosophy to carry her
through her training. He told her that
certain responsibilities We're hers, but
that she could not reform the world.
Broad charity, tenderness and healing
were her province.

dactic. Cure them; send them out
with a smile; and-leave the rest to

Sidney was resigned, but not con-
tent. Newly facing the evil of the
world, she was a rampant reformer at
once. Only the arrival of Christine
and her fiance saved his philosophy
from complete rout. He had time for
a question between the ring of the
bell and Katie's deliberate progress
from the kitchen to the front door.

"And-the glamour persists?" He
smiled down at her.
Il think he is very wonderful" said
Sidney valiantly.
Christine Lorenz, while not large,
seemed to fill the little room. Her
voice, which was frequent and pene-
trating, her smile which was wide and
showed very white teeth that were a
trifie large for beauty, her all-embrac-

lower floor. K, who had met her be-

CHAPTER TX.

The hot August days dragged on.
Merciless sunlight beat in through the
Slated shutters of ward windows. At
night, from the roof to which the
nurses retired after prayers for a
breath of air, lower surrounding roofs
were seen to be covered with sleepers.
Children dozed precariously on the
edge of eternity; men and women
sprawled in the grotesque postures of
sleep.
There was a sort of feverish irrita-
bility in the air. Even the nurses, sto-
ically unmindful of bodily discomfort
spoke CURLY or not at all. Miss Dana,
in Sidney's ward, went down with a
low fever, and for day or so Sidney
and Miss Grange got along as best
they could. Sidney worked like two or
more, performed marvels of bed max
ing, learned to give alcohol baths for
fever with the maximum of result and
the minimum of time, even made
rounds with members of the staff and
came through creditably.
| DIR. Ed Wilson had sent a woman pa
| tient into the ward, aud his visits
were the breath of life to the girl.
How're they treating you?" he
asked her, one day, abruptly.
Every WELL"
Look at me squarely. You're pref
i ty and you're young. Some of them
will try to take it out of you. That's hui
man nature. Has anyone tried it yet?'
Sidney looked distressed.
Positively, no. It's been hot, and
of course it's troublesome to tell me
everything. II think they're all
very kind"
He reached out a square, competent
hand, and put it over hers.
eve miss you in the Street." he
said. Its all sort of dead there since
| you left"
He went out and down the corridor.
He had known Sidney all his life.
During the lonely times when Max
was at college and in Europe he had
watched her grow from a child to a
young girl. He did not suspect for
a moment that in that secret heart of
hers he sat newly enthroned, in a
glow of white light, as Max's brother !;
that the mere thought that he lived
in Max's house lit was, of course, Max's
house to her), sat at Max's breakfast
| table, could see him whenever he
wished, made the touch of his hand on
hers benediction and a caress.
Carlotta Harrison, back from her
vacation, reported for duty and was
assigned to e ward, which was Sid
neys. She gave Sidney a curt little
nod, and proceeded to change the en-
| tire routine with the thoroughness of
a Central American revolutionary
president. Sidney, who had yet to
/ learn that with some people authority
can only assert itself by change,
| found herself confused, at sea- half
/ resentful. She got the worst off-duty
Of the day, or none. Small humilia-

Of her persecution, she went steadily
on her way.
And she was gaining every day. Her
mind was forming. She was learning
to think for herself. On the whole,
the world was good, she found. And.
of all the good things in it, the best
was service. True there were hot
days and restless nights, weary feet,
