HOW DR.. PETIT SOLVED THE
MYSTERY OF GRACE ORA
PER'S DELIRIUM

As Dr. Petit turned from Lillian
and me, when 1 had declared my in
tention OF keeping my promise 20
stay with Grace Draper until her
death. and strobe toward the bed
where the sick girl lay, apparently
raving in delirium, l called out to
him in horror.

dying girl"
/ made an impetuOus step forward
to try 10 stop him when Lillian
caught my arm and whirled me into
q recess OF the alcove
You unsuspecting little idiot"
she said, giving me a tender little
shake that robbed the words Of their
harshness, cant you see that that
girl is shamming?"
For a moment l could not COM
prehend what she meant: then the
fuH truth burst upon me If what
Lillian said were true, if the girl
was pretending delirium that she
might utter words concerning
Dicky's infatuation for which would
torture me. then il was more than
probable, almost certain, in fact.
that there was no word Of truth in
her pretended delirioUs mutterings.
Dicky was not faithless to me, as
had feared during the tortured
moments in which l had listened TO
the girls rawlings.
The JOY Of the sudden revelation
almost unnerved me. ] believe I
would have swooned and fallen had
not Lillian caught me.

is saying, and you'll see that I am

Ny eyes followed hers 20 the bed
where DR. Petit stood gazing down
upon the seemingly unconscious
girl and speaking in a measured,
merciless fashion.
This won't do, my girl" he was
saying. and his tone and manner Of
address seemed in some subtle fash
ion 10 strip all semblance OF dignity
from the girl and leave her simply

only too familiar to him.
1T won't do" he repeated. You
are simply shamming this delirium,
and you are lessening you chances
for life every minute you persist in
it. I'm sorry to be hard on you, but
I'm going to give you an ultimatum
right now. Either you will release
Mrs. Graham from her promise at
once and quit this nonsense. or
shall call an officer, report the truth
of this occurrence, and you will be
arrested not only upon a charge Of
attempted suicide, but of attempted
murder.
"Of course, you will then be re-
moved to the Jail hospital, where I
am afraid you may not enjoy the
skilful care you are getting now
And if you live, the after effects OF
| these charges will be exceedingly
unpleasant for you"

threat YOU made just now" the girl
retorted. sneeringly. IF I live, are
YOU going TO have me arrested for
this thing?"
Not if YOU behave yourself and
promise 10 make no more trouble, g"
the physician replied gravely.
There was another long silence.
The girl lay with eyes closed. The
physician stood watching her keenly.
Presently she opened her eyes again.

she said peremptorily

city this week on his annual visit.
This association takes temporary
care of dependent and neglected chill
dren, secures employment for mother
with child without separation and
provides a home for unfortunate, but
worthy mothers in time of need. Such
mothers are often unable to keep the
child in their charge and prefer to
place it for adoption in some good
private family. Mr.. Peterson said he
would be glad to correspond with any
good family that would like to adopt
a child. Address the Office, 819 Cora
