ner silence betokened desertion. Pug
zled, she passed farther down the line
to what again appeared to be No. 70.
This time her welcome was assured.
A white-aproned maid opened the
door Immediately, requested Claudia
to 60 at once to her room.
"It's the side ROOM" the girl ex-
.plained. "You will find everything
ready there"
She had barely removed her hat
when a voice called ENORMOUSLY, and
the voice becoming persistent, in
Its wordless sound, she went at once
into the wide front chamber.
A mans face looked pleadingly back
at her from the rumpled pillows Of a
bed. "a
'sThank the Lord!" he exclaimed fe-
verishly. "You've comet! Without
awaiting a reply he hurried on: II
think they've been phoning for a nurse
all day. Because Of this epidemic not
one Is to be found. And because of
the fear of Tiny housekeeper de-
parted this morning. Marie stayed
long enough to let you in. You'll find
her gone. too, no doubt, when you 60
downstairs. Can you get in some n
to help you? A nurse, I know, cannot
be expected to do everything"
A sudden smile flashed across the
sick mans face. "This Is where a
wife would be an advantage. Wives
don't desert q fellow when he's sick,
do they? YOU" he looked up at
Claudia in quick alarm-'you won't
leave me. will you, nurse, until-r
"No." she answered quietly. II will
I stay with you as long-as you need
me-"
"Thanks," breathed the man ; he lay
back YEARLY.
In the fire-lighted room of the silent
house again she smiled as she slipped
the white apron about her waist and
picked up the hot-water bottle. It
had after all been her Aunt's house
from which she had turned away. She
was not expected there. And II there
was this need of her presence at No.
78. she would remain, end be equal to
J that need.
At midnight, the man with the wist-
full eyes and the grateful smile slept
comfortably upon his smooth, cool pill
low. Claudia as she went into the un-
familiar, deserted kitchen, hummed q
hymn-tune and heated his broth. And
as the bells Of the city announced the
new years birth, she wondered, smil-
ing, If its adventurous coming might
not signal a change in the routine of
her life.
Already the simple regularity seem.
ed q. thing long past.
"Nurse," called the man, and she
swiftly ascended the stairs.
When Mrs. Chalmers returned later
from a two weeks visit, she was aston
ished to hear the voice Of her niece
over the telephone.
II have no time for a VISIT" said
Claudia, because I have been acting
as q nurse to a man who is now leav
ing to recuperate in the country. HI
