notable man; and he was reputed q
fast liver. Not that any definite scan
dial was known about him. But his
tone did not fit in with the sedate de-
pertinent of the hospital; and then
there were vague stories that fitted
here and there, never definite, never
tangible, but, in their entirety, not to
be disregarded.
And Edith Lindsay was infatuated
with this man of forty, who was I'M
married, and drove her in his car, and
met her out Of hours. The hospital
tongues wagged about it.
The matron was decisive when she
had made up her mind. She sent for
Edith and plunged into her subject
without any preliminaries.
my dear, I sent for you to tell you
that you are far too intimate with Doc
tor Ewing" she said.
The girl flushed, confused by the
s~uddenness of the attack. II don't
see what right you have to tell me
that" she answered.

"She is becoming too fond Of pleas

out automobiling after hours, and a
girl cannot do that and do her work
satisfactorily"

to discharge her is when she fails.

Russian Emiaration Begun.

One of the most suggestive move
ments of the Russian government al
the present time is the attention which
It is devoting to the settlement OF Rus
sian immigrants in Brazil, the Argen'
tine Republic and Chilli. Russia has
been for some years very dissatisfied
with the imports of Brazilian coffee
tobacco and minerals via Hamburg,
and the war has led to the adoption OF
q policy that will, in future, bring
about a closer trading relationship
with Riga, Petrograd and Libau and
South American ports. =
It is believed that settlers from Rus
STA will promote this freer commercial
Intercourse, and an arrangement has
already been come to by which immi'
grants will arrive in Paulo in ship
ments Of 500. The first shipment IL
expected to leave Russia before the
White sea is frozen.

The Southport hospital was more
like a home than an institution. In q
small town, administering to all and
sundry, but nevertheless supported en-
tirely by private funds, the hospital
employees formed a sort Of close o r
poration, or a big family, as the ma
iron, Miss Dyer, sometimes expressed
It.
She took a maternal interest in the
girls under her charge. Nothing that
went on in the hospital escaped Miss
Dyer's eyes. It was she who stopped
flirtations that were not likely to de-
velop into anything satisfactory. No
body was quicker to weed out an in
competent, and nobody had more char
ity with timidity and inexperience.
Where she came from was more or
less a mystery. The matron was not
communicative. She had been ten
years at the hospital and gave entire
satisfaction; no more was known Of
her.
DAAIA AAAu0Oy was OAS VI AOA
She had brought her into the South.
asS She had watched over her, per-
haps with a little favoritism, but that
was inevitable with Miss Dyer. She
could not like anyone without liking
that person overmuch. But she had no
enemies.
She had watched the growing init.
macy between Miss Lindsay and Doc
tor Ralph, the house surgeon. Many
doctors marry nurses, and in a place
like Southport such attachments are
certain to spring up. She admired
Ralph and knew that he would 60 far.
Then DR.. Mark Ewing was appointed
head.

He was driving one of those big cars.
Delaware street along the market
house was crowded. He passed up

three times, when he spied a place
midway Of the street where he could
run his car into the curb and wait for
the marketers Of his household.
The big car was rather unwieldy,
however, and he Unanswered for five
minutes getting in position to drive
In the narrow space between the two

throughout the interview. Perhaps she
was thinking Of the hopeless look on
the face Of Doctor Ralph, who never
spoke to Edith Lindsay now. Perhaps
It was Of other things. .

antly. "Since you have asked me, you
are the cause. The girl is becoming
too intimate with YOU"
Doctor Ewing was not angry. he
stroked his close-cropped mustache
thoughtfully. What had she heard?
Anything? Or was it just one Of those
suspicious to which, in his opinion and
experience, .m~iddle-aged, unmarried
women were liable? .
"What have you against met" he
asked at last, wondering why the ma
tron still kept her eyes averted.
"Your past" she whispered. II have
heard-StOrtes."
"What stories? Come, let us hear
them told again. My past has not
been that of a saint, but 1 believe ]
am an ordinary, decent man."

"Have you promised to marry herr"

"Have you not promised other girls
that you would marry ~them-others

'That will do, Miss Dyer" answered
the surgeon harshly. "You are pre-
sumptuous. The decision is rescinded.

Are you going to remain? cried the
matron suddenly, raising her eyes to
his? do you suppose 1 shall not warn
her about Laura Keyes?"
The man at the desk turned white.
His hand fell with 2 thump. He start
ed forward and looked keenly into the
matron's defiant face.
"You?" he cried.

Of fifteen years broke loose, and the
matron, who had come to pronounce

1t was a ten days sensation In
Southport, the announcement of the
engagement of the matron to the head
Of the hospital. And Edith Lindsay
bitter, resentful, went about her worA
like a girl in a dream.
But just as all good things come tc
him who waits, just as they came tt
the matron. so they came to Edith
Lindsay. For when the doctor and hii
