wild flowers in the glen, the
trickle Of water on the stones,

at the little Southern nurse. He
had often looked close at her
during the days she had been in
the operating room. He had
thought her tightly pressed lips
and tightly clenched fists meant
vital interest in operations. In
stead they had meant fear, horror
and hatred. Now he knew it.
His words were clipped out to
the head nurse. "She-must not
stay in here any longer, Miss
White. She has case Of nerves.
Let her take several days off and
get composed"
Like a released spirit the little
Southern nurse flew out Of the
operating room. Her fingers
were still clenched, and her head
was whirling with one purpose
to get away from the hated hos
pital where life was forced onto
people who didn't want it any
more than she herself did.

There was a shadow of reproof

that inquiry.

reminded him. II asked to come

For what reason?''

Her eyes were again studying
his face. He was struck by both
their fearlessness and their lack
of guile. That strange life of
hers, he felt, must have beaten
down those flimsier reticences
and privacies of sex behind which
youth as a rule, sat with it's

WHO SAID IT
AND WHERE

"One country, one constitution,
one destiny"
Daniel Webster never lost an
opportunity to plead the cause of
unity. The above words are from
a speech he delivered March 3,
1887.
Histories make men WISE"
From the experience of the past
men learn how to meet present
issues. The words are Bacon's,

"Out of the abundance of the
heart, the mouth speaIxeth."
At times it is difficult to control
the emotions, and we say just
what we think, hurt whom 1t may.
The passage is from Matthew

That was what the little South

the morning-said it to the red
haired nurse, who was specialize
ing on surgical cases; said it in
the lower corridor right after the

thought the head surgeon very

though he did live in a home for

Thank you," he answered
as formally as thou g h
his call had been a social one.
Yet he wondered just why she
should have this power of re-
straining and intimidating him.
In work such as his there was
little room for the finer issues
of life, and he had long since
learned not to be overcourteous
to an enemy.
The sudden consciousness that
he was treating her with con-
sideration which she as his quarry
had done nothing to merit made
him more watchful of eye and
more wary of movement. He re-
scented the higher plane to which
she had the power of coercing
him. even while he prayed that
she would not confound his in
ward belief in her.
Before seating himself, how
ever, he moved his chair back
until it stood against the wall of
the room. This was an announce
nsent, he knew, of his latent dis
Yet the movement seemed lost
on her, though Kestner reminded
himself that in the past she had
proved herself a capable enough
actress. He even wondered, as
he gazed about those small and
dingy chambers, how often the
antique games of blackmail had
been played between their faded
walls. He also pondered the fact
that she would be an especially
valuable woman at such work,
with her homogeneous air of pur-
fly and other worldliness, her un-
ceniable beauty, her almost boy
Ike unconcern of sex.
Yet the next movement, as he
looked back at the intent face
with its inapposite flower-like
appeal, he resented the very
thought of her as a pawn in any
thing so sordid as the panel
game. 1t was unbelievable. He
had seen too many of those
ladies of draggled plumes and
their meretricious assumptions of
grandeur. About them all had
been the betraying faint, the in
consequential word or move that
marked them as den1imondaine,
the over-acted gentility that
proved as obvious, in the end, as
the paper roses Of stagedom.
You should not have come
here" she said, after several mo-
ments of thought. sra
why not?" demanded Kestner.
Because it is dangerous" was
her answer.

ing. But 1t seemed cruel for you
to force those poor people back
to life in that merciless, hot,
bloody operating room when up
in the skies"
"Well," the head surgeon actu-
ally drawled his words instead
of clipping them, "the old lady
with the tumor has a spinster
daughter whose life would be
barren without her mother. She
wanted very much to live. The
old man meets all newcomers
at the institution and makes
them feel at home. No one else
could take his place. Life is SER
vice to them. That is why they
want it so badly"
Cicely Rankin nodded her
head. It was all very clear to
her here in the forest. The old
man comforted the other old
derelicts. The old lady gave love
. to a lonely spinster. The young
mother loved her babies.
"I-am-alone," she faltered
out her excuse for the way she
had shouted at him that morn
