He was in a magnanimous mood. He

But he missed no gesture of the girl

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.
1oull have to watch her, though. You'll
have all the internes buzzing around
neglecting business"
Miss Gregg rather fluttered. She
was divided between her disapproval
of internes at all times and of young
prObatiOners generally, and her allie
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.
"Tired?' He adopted the gentle, al
most tender tone that made most wGm-
en- his slaves.

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-tOweIS
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 inferno
at his elbow. AS he talked he secured
his hands and arms with a small
brush; bits Of Iather 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 a touch, and to look like
a Greek god! Wilson's only rival,
gynec0logist 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 a
gorilla.
The,day had been a hard one. The
Operating-roOm nurses were tagged.
Two or three probationers had been
sent to help clean up, and a senior
nurse. Wilson's eyes caught the nurses
eyes as she passed him.
Here. too, Miss Harrison ~ he said
gayly. Have they set you on my trail?''
With the eyes Of the room on her,
the girl answered primly:
I'm to be in your Office in the morn

room and spoke to her over the heads
Of q dozen nurses.
''That patients address that had
forgotten, Miss Harrison, is the cor
ner OF the Park and Ellington avenue"
'Thank you"
She played the game Well, was quite
calm. He admired her GOODNESS. Ger
tainly she was pretty, and certainly,
too, she was interested in him. He
went whistling into the wardrobe
room. AS he turned he caught the in
terne's eye, and there passed between
them a glance of complete comprehen-
sion. The inferno grinned.
The room was not empty. His broth
er was there, listening to the comments
of O'Hara, his friendly rival.
"Good work, boy!" said O'Hara, and
clapped hairy hand on his shoulder.
'That last case was a wonder. I'm
proud of you, and your brother here
is indecently exalted. It was the Ed
wardes method, wasn't it? | saw it
done at his clinic in New York"
"Glad you liked it. Yes. Edwardes
was a pal Of mine in Berlin. A great
surgeon, too, poor old chap
There aren't three men in the coun-
try with the nerve and the hand for it."
O'Hara went out, glowing with his
own magnanimity. Doctor Ed stood by
and waited while his brother got into
his clothes. He was rather silent.
There were many times when he
wished that their mother could have
lived to see how he had carried out
his promise to make a man of Max"
Sometimes he wondered what she
would think Of his own untidy methods
compared with Max's extravagant or

dogs collar in it, and other things. On
these occasions he always determined
to clear out the bag.

said. 'Will you be home for dinner?"

Quite suddenly K. felt that she
thought him too old for such frivolity

ago the men she had known had shown

Sidney smiled at him. As he stood
on the lowest step their eyes were
almost level.

not engaged to Joe," she said, with en-
gaging directness.
The house was quiet. He waited in

He said I was flirting desperately

was more than that. All day he had
