CXXU-DI5rORTED VISION.

After the operation was over
Nancy had to laugh at her own
fears.
II hadn't been dreadful at all.
She lay comfortably on the mar
row hospital bed. feeling only a de-
lightful languor. Her arm hurt a
little under its bandage which con-
eealed a tiny pin prick through
which her blood had been drained
TO be pumped into Comics veins
The shades were lowered at the
windows and the twilight OF the
room was filled with the fragrance
Of American beauty roses.
She felt more comfortable and
more rested than she had felt In the
strenuous weeks since Gerrys de-
parture-
A nurse came and brought her a
cooling drink of something that
tasted refreshing and invigorating.
She slid a pillow under Nancys
head with a deft hand and straight
ened the coverlet.
Anything else 1 can get you.
Mrs. Burrard?"
Nothing, thank you- Tell me-
how is Mrs. StanleyT
Doing very nicely. DR.. Lang
well wishes to see you. He will
come up as soon as he has called on
Mrs. Stanley"
please take my roses down to
Mrs. Stanley's room It's not fair
that should have them. 1 feel that
1 got them under false pretenses,
because / was never so comfortable
Nand happy in my life as I am right
now"
The nurse shook her head smil-
ingly.
Don't you think you've done
enough for Mrs. Stanley by giving
her your blood2" she suggested.
-Somehow American beauties seem
TO suit you so much better than they
do her"
Connie is an orchid type, isn't
sheZ" mused Nancy. Perhaps you
are right. / will keep the roses"
The nurse was scarcely gone when
there was another tap on the door,
and without waiting for a reply, DR..
Lsngwell entered.
The dusk Of the early winter eve
ming was already settling in the
little bare room, and through the
windows the lights were beginning
to twinkle along the waterfront of
the East river.
In the twilight Nancy's face was
like a white flower, framed in the
FURNISHED gold of her hair. She had
refused the hospital garb, and her
lace and chiffon night robe fell
gracefu1Iy aWav from her white
shoulders.
The doctor came over to her side.
and lifting her cold hand, pressed II
in his warm clasp.
How is my girl?" he cried softly.
II may have been something in
his clasp, or IL may have been the
reaction from the nervous strain
she had been through, but in
flood of gratitude and tenderness.
For the moment she forgot that
she 6istrusted this man. She for
got that she disliked him for his at
titude towards Edith; for his mad
dening compiacence; for his petty
conceit; foT his everlasting philan-
derings. She forgot Fleurette and
the curious circumstances surround
ing her death.
At tnat moment she saw In him
only the strength and protection,
the tenderness and consideration she
had lost with Gerry's departure Tor
Peru
Almost unconsciously, her chilled
fingers curled around his, and DROP
ping her head in the curve of his
arm, she sobbed like little child.
