that she doesn't believe she will
marry Joe Drummond, her child
hood sweetheart, after all. In
stead, she decides to become a
trained nurse-now that Aunt
Harriet has opened a dressmak-

to ask Or. Max Wilson, old fam

all, but there's something dread
fully mysterious about him.
Suddenly whole new phase of
life opens upon Sidney. Just

CHAPTER vi.

Operations were over for the after
noon. The last case had been wheeled
out of the elevator. The pit of the op-
Grating room was in disorder-towels
everywhere, tables of instruments,
steaming sterilizers. Orderlies were
going about, carrying out linens, empty
ing pans. At a table two nurses were
cleaning instruments and putting them
away in their glass cases. Irrigators
were being emptied, sponges recounted
and checked off on written lists.
In the midst of the confusion, Wilson
stood giving last orders to the interne
at his elbow. AS he talked he secured
his hands and arms with a small
brush; bits Of lather flew off on to the
tiled floor. His speech was incisive,
vigorous. At the hospital they said his
nerves were iron; there was no let
down after the days work. The in
ternes worshiped and feared him. He
was just. but without mercy. To be
able to work like that, SO certainly,
with so sure touch, and to look like
a Greek god! Wilson's only rival, a
gynecolOgist named O'Hara, got re-
suits, too; but he sweated and swore
through his operations, was not too
careful as to asepsis, and looked like
gorilla.
The day had been hard one. The
operating-ro0m nurses were tagged
Two or three probationers had been
sent to help clean up, and senior
nurse. Wilson's eyes caught the nurses
eyes as she passed him.
"Here, too, Miss Harrisoni" he said
gayly. "Have they set you on my trail?"
With the eyes of the room on her,
the girl answered primly:
Sim to be in your office in the MORN
ings, Doctor Wilson, and anywhere /
am needed in the afternoons"
Sand your vacationT
"I shall take it when Miss Simpson
comes back"
Although he went on at once with
his conversation with the inferno, he
still heard the click of her heels about
the room. He had not lost the fact that
she had flushed when he spoke to her.
The mischief that was latent in him
came to the surface. When he had
rinsed his hands, he followed her, car
rying the towel to where she stood
talking to the superintendent of the
training school.
'"Thanks very much, Miss Gregg" he
said. Everything went off nicely"
He was in magnanimous mood. He
smiled at Miss Gregg, who was elderly
and gray, but visibly his creature.
'@The sponge list, doctor"
He glanced over it, noting accurate
ly sponges prepared, used, turned in.
But he missed no gesture of the girl
who stood beside Miss Gregg.
'All right" He returned the list.
"That was mighty pretty probationer
I brought you yesterday"
Two small frowning lines appeared
between Miss Harrisons dark brows.
He caught them, caught her somber
eyes too, and was amused and rather
stimulated.
"She is very young"
'Prefer 'em young" said Doctor
Max. "Willing to learn at that age.
You'll have to watch her, though. You'll
have all the internes buzzing around,
neglecting business"
Miss Gregg rather fluttered. She
was divided between her dlsapproyal
of internes at all times and of young
probationers generally, and her ale
glance to the brilliant surgeon whose
word was rapidly becoming law in the
hospital. When an emergency of the
cleaning-up called her away, doubt
still in her eyes, Wilson was left alone
with Miss Harrison.
