CHAPTER ~.

| On the morning after Sidney had In
vited K. LIE Moyne to take her to walk
Max Wilson came down to breakfas

part Of the patient, to boil on the

Rosenfeld eyed him suspiciously,
but, possessing sense Of humor also,
he grinned.

Mr.. Rosenfeld buttoped up the blue
flannel shirt which, with pair Of Doc
tor Eds CASTOR trousers, was his only
wear, and fished In his pocket.
"How much, Doc7"

ly.
"Holy catsi For one jab Of q knife

Rosenfeld drew out Z silver dollar,
and followed 1t reluctantly with a.Amp

There's times" he said, 'when, II
you'd put me and the missus and
knife in the same room, you wouldn't

Doctor Ed waited until he had made
his stiff-necked exit. Then he took the

and sitting room behind. They wouldn'
interfere with you at ALL" she added
hastily. "Christine's father woult
build little balcony on the side 70,
them, sort Of porch, and they'd sii
there In the evenings"
Behind Sidney's carefully practical
tone the man read appeal. Never be
fore had he realized how narrow the
girls world had been. The Street
with but one dimension bounded 1t
In her perplexity she was appealing tc
him who was practically stranger.
And he knew then that he must dc
the thing she asked. He, who had fled
so long, could roam no more. Here
on the Street, with its menace just
| across, he must live, that she might
| work. In his world men had worked
that women might live in certain
places, certain ways. This girl was
going out to earn her living, and he
would stay to make it possible. But
no hint of all this was in his voice.
II shall stay, OF course" he said
gravely. "I-this is the nearest thing
to home that I've known for a long
time. want you to know that"
"You are very good to me-" said Sid
ney.
When she rose, Z. LIE Moyne sprang
to his feet.
Anna had noticed that he always
rose when she entered his rOom-with
fresh towels on Katie's day out, for In
stance-and she liked him for 1t. Years
ago the men she had known had shown
this courtesy to their women; but the
Street regarded such things as affecta-
ton.
II wonder If you would do me an
other favor? I'm afraid you'll take to
avoiding me, If keep on"
II don't think you need fear that"

K. looked rather dazed.

how"
Sidney smiled at him. AS he stood
on the lowest step their eyes were
almost level.
IF walk with you they'll know I'm
not engaged to Joe" she said, with en-
gaging directness.
The house was quiet. He waited in
the lower hall until she had reached
the top of the staircase. For some curl
GUS reason, in the time to come, that
was the way Sidney always remem-
bered K. LIE Moyne-standing in the
little hall, one hand upstretched to
shut off the gas overhead, and his eyes
on hers above.
"Good night" said *. lie Moyne.
And all the things he had put out of |
his life were In his voice.

girl, family familiar.

she explained. IL am from the hos
pltal. Miss Simpsons father died this
morning, and she knew you would
have to have someone. I was just
starting for my vacation, so they sent
me-"
Rather q poor substitute for a va
cation" ne commented.
She was very pretty girl. He had
seen her before In the hospital, but he
had never really noticed how attrac-
tive she was. Rather stunning she
was, he thought. The combination Of
yellow hair and dark eyes was unusual.
He remembered, just in time, to ex-
press regret at Miss Simpsons be-
reavement.
II am Miss Harrison" explained the
substitute, and held out his long white
coat. The ceremony, purely perfume
tory with Miss Simpson on duty, proved
interesting, Miss Harrison, in spite of
her high heels, being small and the
young surgeon tall. When he was final
ly in the coat, she was rather flushed
and palpitating.
"But knew your name, Of course"
lied Doctor Max. "And-Tm sorry
about the vacation"
After that came work. Miss Har-
rison was nimble and alert, but the sur
geon worked quickly and with few
words, was impatient when she could

broke into restrained profanity now
and then. She went a little pale ovel
her mistakes, but preserved her dig
nifty and her wits. Now and then he
found her dark eyes fixed on him, with
something inscrutable but pleasing In
their depths. The situation was rather
piquant.
| Once, during the cleaning up be-
tween cases, he dropped to a person
atty. He was drying his hands, while
she placed freshly-sterilized instru-
| ments on a glass table.
"You are almost a foreign type, Miss
Harrison. Last year, in a London bal
let, / saw a blonde Spanish girl who
looked like you"
my mother was Spaniard." She
did not look up.
Where Miss Simpson was In the
habit of dumping through the morning
in fiat, heavy shoes, Miss Harrison's
small heels beat busy tattoo on the
tiled floor. With the rustling Of her
starched dress, the sound was essen
tally feminine, almost insistent. When
he had time to notice it, 1t amused him
that he did not find it annoying.
Once, as she passed him a bistoury,
he deliberately placed his fine hand
over her fingers and smiled into her
eyes. 1t was play for him; it Hghtened
the days work.
Sidney was in the waiting room.
There had been no tedium in the morn
ing's waiting. Like all imaginative peo-
pie, she had the gift Of dramatizing her.

from head to foot, like this efficient
young woman who came now and then
to the waiting-room door.

been desperately lonely, and, for al

way of keeping his head, he talked sud

Of fact, I'm not engaged, or going to

LIE Moyne said nothing. For just a

he closes his eyes, he sees the same
thing, especially If 1t is rather terrible.

Lucky for K. LIE Moyne that the
moon no longer shone on the low, gray
doorstep, that Sidney's mind had trav-
eled far away to shining floors and
rows of white beds. "Life-in the
raw" Doctor Ed had said that other
afternoon. Closer to her than the hos
pital was life in the raw that night.

Max that morning, big man, almost

strong and bit reckless, not fine, per-

If you go around making kicks

you'll reap. If you want people
