He stopped at the hospital
that afternoon on his way home
from work. The little nurse was
inclined to be provoked wheA

had gotten him out onto the
side veranda. And why on
earth do you act so queerly?"
But Kerry just answered her
with smile. When he did
speak he said: III be late, no
doubt, when l come over to
take the walk with you, but
wait for me, for I'm coming"
He painted as long as he had
light. The boyish face he painted
had features much like those of
old men; had eyes that were
brown and deep like those of the
difficult patient. except that they
held eagerness and happiness and
love instead of WEAKNESS and
sorrow. Boyish ringlets of dusky
hair like that of what was left
Of the difficult patients covered
the pretty boyish head.
For three evenings Kerry
painted before the picture was
finished and then he set it on his
easel to dry. Very carefully he
dressed himself. The picture had
made him very happy and very
brave. He was going to ask the
duskyeyed nurse to marry him
that night.
IF she promised that she
would, the next morning he
would ask his employer for an
increase. Il can make pictures

much, but obedient still, carried

" ERRY CRAVENS had
two great ambitions. The
first had come when he
was a boy and his mother had
taken him to a great museum.
Il am going to be an artist
some day, mother" he said,
land some day my pictures
shall hang in a gallery like
this"
The other formed itself when
he first saw the slender, little
brown-eyed probationer at the
hospital next door the house in
which he roomed. Some day
when I am a great artist and
have money enough" he told
himself this time, II shall
marry the brown-eyed nurse and
build her a beautiful home"
Because his salary was so
small and the demands on 1t so
large, Kerry didn't dare tell
the nurse he loved her. He
didn't know the poster company
thought his pictures were splen-

an increase In his salary. So he
just sat and his heart ached
while the little nurse began to
tell him about the very difficult
patient who was now her case.
HE doesn't look so cross and
difficult" Kerry said at the
close of the recital Of her woes.
I've studied his face often.
His features are really kind and
his eyes sorrowful, l believe it's
more heartache than bodyache
that makes him the way he is"
"He doesn't want to get WELL"
the nurse said softly. That's
the reason he Is a difficult pa
tient. He has so much money,
but no one to love. His only son
died when he was a little fellow.
The old man hasn't even
photograph of him. He was so
poor then he couldn't afford to
have one made. He grieves over
that more than anything else
now. He longs to see that little
face. He wants to die

spares and material practically strip
ping them to the extent that 1T would
take years to put them into condition
if eventually anything prevented rati-
fioation. Recently the Secretary has
taken cognizance of this excessive
withdrawal, which OF course is justi-

this material.
