Before l slept | had determined
to let Sheila go into town the next
morning to superintend affairs at
the new house.
THAT will also please Phil, "

ing Sheila out to lunch win. give
him a perfectly legitimate excuse
for having an hour or two with
her" IN
The next morning when sug-
gested that Sheila should lunch
with Phil she said most decidedly
that she was not going Quito eat
at noon, and with my permission
she would ask my cook to put her
UP a sandwich and fill the thermos
bottle with coffee. n
she looked as though she had
not slept at all, but did not in
quire, as she coldly snubbed Phil s
eager inquiry with the informa-
tion that she was feeling perfect
ly we'll.
/ watched them drive away in
the motor-both looking perfectly
uncomfortable. l am quite sure
that in all his young life Phil had
never shown the interest in any
girl that he now was evincing in
Sheila. And having shown inter-
est, he has never had a girl flout
him as Sheila was doing
When they had passed out Of
sight l called John to bring the
town car to the door and | set out
to the house of my friend, Mrs,
Walton who had recommended
Sheila so highly.
To my disappointment found
that she was out Of town for a
few days on one Of her many phil
anthropic expeditions.
After little hesitation told
John to drive me to the hospital,
"Good morning, Mrs. Whining
ton, !" said Dr. Thornton whom we
met going up the steps. " You
seem to be using your crutches
splendidly. "
"Yes, thought ! would have to
make a more extended exam
ination this morning and see If
you thought it absolutely neces-
sary for me to have another x
ray taken"
On my drive over from my
friend S / had concluded that it
would be impolite to tell the doc
tor that l was calling not to have
him give a decision on my broken
leg but his opinion of his favorite
nurse. Sheila Elliston.
l did not know how to approach
the subject, and was very glad
when after he had told me that
was perfectly right Doctor Thorn
ton asked:
rs Miss Elliston with you?
When will she be ready to take
another case?h
'T hope not for a long time, If
ever, doctor. I have taken the
greatest fancy to Miss Elliston
and l am trying to persuade her to
give up the arduous work of a
nurse and come : to me as my
secretary, companion and friend. -
"Have you seen Mrs. Walton7 I"
He shot the question, which I
thought irrelevant, at me Instead
of making any other comment on
my information.
"No. but what bearing has that
on the matter7'i
'fMy dear lady" he answered,
Il think your home and friendship
would be the most splendid thing
that could happen TO Miss Elliston,
She should be very happy II she
could find a refuge in your
family -
REFUGEE" I repeated stupidly.
What do you mean? Surely Miss
Elliston does not need refuge-
she can take care Of herself any
where
