girl who stood beside her.
The curious thing was that Carlotta
felt that she could stop the wedding
if she wanted to. Shed happened on
a bit of information-many a wedding
had been stopped for less. 1t rather
obsessed her TO think Of stopping the
wedding. so that Sidney and Max
would not walk down the aisle to-
gether.
There came, at last. an hour before
the wedding, a lull in the feyerish

, ergtclng was ready. In the attic. In
the cehteS - sheet, before a toilet
table which had been carried upstairs
for her benefit, sat, on this her day

story had been prepared for guests
and presents. Christine sat alone in
the center of her sheet. The brides
maids had been sternly forbidden to
come into her room.
Il haven't had chance to think for
month" she said. "And I've got
some things I've got to think out"
But, when Sidney came, she sent for
her. Sidney found her sitting on
stif chair, in her wedding gown. with
her veil spread out on small stand.
CLOSE the door" said Christine.
And, after Sidney had kissed her:

Il am, of course. But that isn't
what's wrong with me. Throw that
veil some place and sit down."
Christine was undoubtedly rouged.

brides should be rather pale. But
under her eyes were lines that Sidney
had never seen there before.
I'm not going to be foolish. Sidney.

three months had made a change in

EVOKED PRAISE OF SURGEONS
instruments Used by Romans 300
Years Ago Almost Identical With
Those Employed Today.

An exhibition of ancient Roman sur
gical instruments of bronze, so perfect

GRAFTON that they might be used in the
present day. was the wOnaer of hun
dreds of visiting surgeons at the Patho-
logical museum in the jefferson Med
ical college at Philadelphia.
Unearthed in volcano-smothered Her
,culaneum, they are in almost perfect
condition, beautifully fashioned, etched
and carved instruments of bronze, for
the surgeons of the ancient Roman EN-
plre evidently were artists as well as
healers.
The remarkable fact for the visit
irg surgeons was that the instruments
frr IL a mechanical way singularly like
tie ~ ost modern instruments applied
to similar uses-modern instruments
whose perfection has been gained only
after centuries of study and improve
ment. The ancient instruments are
much more complex IL their operation
than those of modern times. but have
been made and adapted to particular
uses with wonderful ingenuity. There
are number of instruments used for
genealogical work and to aid in
births and an equipment of scissors.
fcrceps Tor various uses, lances and
knives.
One famous surgeon from the West
examined the specimens very carefully
and adIniringly declared that If the in
struments were refurbished and
cleaned and sharpened he would not
be afraid to perform an operation with
them even at this day II think these
instruments over 1,S0O years old are
better than the instruments in use by
physicians 200 years ago" he said.

the exception of just enough TO hold

SYNoPSlS-K. LeMoyne, a
young man, becomes n rOomer
at the Page home, where Sidney,
her mother, Anna, and her old
maid aunt, Harriet, dressmak-

becomes probationary nurse
at the hospital. Aunt Harriet
opens a fashionable shop down
town. Christine Lorenz and Pal
mer Howe are about to be mar
ried and they will take rooms at

X, by Joe Drummond, a high

Charlotte Harrison, who has

CHAPTER x.

A few days after Wilson's recogni-
ion of X, two most exciting things
happened to Sidney. One was that
Christine asked her to be maid of
honor at her wedding. The other was
more wonderful. She was accepted.
and given her cap.
Because she could not get home that
| night and because the little house had
no telephone, she wrote the news 60
Moyne.
X. found the note on the hall table
when he got home that night, and car
ried it upstairs to read. Whatever
faint hope he might have had that her
youth would prevent her acceptance
he knew now was over With the let
ter in his hand he sat by his table
and looked ahead into the empty years.
Not quite empty, of course. She would
be coming home.
But more and more the life of the
hospital would engrOss her. He sur
missed, too, very shrewdly, that, had he
ever had a hope that she might come
to care for him, his very presence in
the little house initiated against him.
There was none of the illusion of sep
aration: he was always there, like Ka-
tie. When she opened the door, she
called Mother" from the hall. If
Anna did not answer, she called him,
in much the same voice.
Sidney's letter was not the only one
he received that day. When, in re-
Spouse to Katies summons, he rose
heavily and prepared for dinner, he
found an unopened envelope on the
table. 1t was from Max Wilson:
Dear lie Moyne-I have feeling of deli
cacy about trying to see you again so
soon. I'm bound to respect your secIu-
sion. But there are some things that have
got to be discussed.
1t takes courage to step down from the
pinnacle you stood on. So it's not cow
ardice that has set you down here. It's
wrong conception. And I've thought of
two things. The first, and best, is for you
to go back. No one has taken your place.
because no one could do the work. But
IL that's out of the question-and only you
know that, for only you know the facts
the next best thing is this. and in all hui
mainly l make the suggestion.
Take the State exams under your pres
ent name, and when you've got your GER
tificate. come in with me. This isn't mag
nanimity. I'll be getting much more than
l give.
Think 1t over, old man. NJ w.
1t is curious fact that a man who
is absolutely Enthusiastically about
women is often the soul of honor to
other men. The younger Wilson, TAX
ing his pleasures lightly and not too
discriminatory, was making an offer
that meant his ultimate eclipse, and
doing it 'cheerfully, with his eyes open.
X. was moved. 1t was like Max to
make such an offer, Ike him to do it
as if he were asking q favor and not
comforting one. But the offer left him
interrupted. He had weighed himself
in the balance, and found himself
wanting. No tablet ON the college wall
