THE HOSPITAL RABBITS
WWAN GRAHAM DON
80, .cnr Al xlSrlts ntssSuu ytsioh -~

Two rabbits had been sent to a nos
initial which had already a big Whlle
rabbit.
Some one had thought that the nos
pital children would be cheered by nav
ing these pets about, and indeed they
were! When they first arrived the
matron said TO herself:
"GraCiouS, mercy me. There are
over seventy children in the hoSpltai

and now along come these rabbits
But the rabbits she knew would be
loved by the children, and she knew
too, that they would entertain the chill
dren and that made her happy above
all things.
BESIDES. the rabbits were so cum
ming. Their noses wiggled, their eyes
looked both friendly and mischieyous
ana they quite won her heart.
She was, of course, Il little amused

burdens, though she really enjoyed he'

Still she had TO smile. for She kne"

THANK you; I did want TO know
Eaton acknowledged. He moved away
from them. and sat down in one Of
the seats further down the car.
Soon he left for his owl car, and
as the door was closing behind him,
a sound came TO his ears from the car
he just had left-a young girl sud
denly crying in abandon. Harriet
Santoine, he understood, must have
broken down for the moment, after
the strain Of the operation; and Ea-
ton halted as though TO turn back,
feeling the blood drive suddenly upon
his heart. Then, recollecting that he
had no right TO go to her, he went on

time. ~ said nothing definite even
to the tralnmen," he replied; "and
want you gentlemen to promise me
before you leave this car that you will
say nothing until ! give you leave"
His eyes shifted from the face of
one to another, until he had assured
himself that all agreed. AS Avery
left the car, Eaton found q seat in
one OF the end sections near the draw
ing room. He did not know whether
TO ask TO leave the car, or whether he
ought TO remain; and he would have
gone except for recollection Of Har-
rlet Santoine. Then the curtain at
the end of the car was pushed further
aside, and she came in.
She was very pale, but quite con-
trolled, as Eaton knew she would be.
She looked at Eaton, but did not
speak as she passed; she went di-
rectly to the door Of the drawing
room, opened it and went in, followed
by Avery. The door closed, and for
a moment Eaton could hear voices in
side the room-Harriet Santolne's,
Sinclair's, Connery's. The conductor
then came to the door Of the drawing
room and sent the porter for water
and clean linen; Eaten heard the rip
Of linen being torn, and the car be-
came filed with the smell of anti
septics.
Donald Avery came out of the draw
ing room and dropped into the seat
across from Eaton. He seemed deep
ly thoughtful-so deeply, indeed. as to
be almost unaware OF Eaton's pres
ence. And Eaton. observing him,
again had the n that Avery's alb

A long time passed-how long. Ea-
ton could not have told; he noted
only that during 1t the shadows on
the snowbank outside the window ap-
probably changed their position. FL
nally the door opened, and Harriet
S~antoine came out, paler than before,
and now not quite so steady.
Eaton rose as she approached
them: and Avery leaped up, all con-
Germ and sympathy for her immedi-
ately she appeared. He met her in
the aisle and took her hand.
"Was 1t successful, dear?" Avery
asked.
She shut her eyes before she an

sat down In the seat where Avery had
been sitting.

Avery; she turned then directly to
Eaton. "lHe thought there probably

The four men lifted the inert figure

upon the bed.

said. I'll get them but before | de-

The tone was in some way false
Eaton could not tell exactly how.
Avery started down the aisle.
"One moment, please. Mr.. Avery :"
said the conductor. I'll ask you not
TO tell Miss Santoine before any
other passenger that there has been
an attack upon her father. Wait un-
til you get her inside the door of this
car"
"Ycu yourself said nothing, then,
that can have made her suspect it,"
Eaton asked.

he saw that the bag was no longer
there. 1t stood now between the two
seats on the floor, and picking II up
and looking at II, he found II unfas-
tened and with marks about the lock
which told plainly that il had been
forced.
He set It on the floor between his
knees and checked over its contents.
Nothing had been taken, so far as
he could tell; for the bag had con
tanned only clothing, the Chinese die
tionary and the box OF cigars, and
these all apparently were still there.
He had laid out the things on the
seat across from him while checking
them up, and now he began 10 put
them back in the bag. Suddenly he
noticed that one Of his socks was
missing: what had been eleven pairs
was now only ten pairs and D odd

He went on into the observation

"Simply Indifferent"

white rabbit which they had had for
some time.
The big white rabbit had also been
sent as n gift to the children, and he
was we'll used to the hospital by now.
Everyone took a great interest in him,
but the matron really took care of him.
He liked to be by himself. He was
friendly with the children and Il great
pet, but he wasn't particularly excited
about the arrival OF the rabbit pair.
Not that he disllked them. BY no
means. Nor was he Jealous Of them.
He was simply Indifferent TO them.
He was ready to go on being just as
friendly with the children and just as
polite to the new rabbits, but he didn't
believe in making a terrific fuss over
them when he hadn't that kind Of 4
nature.
But the two new rabbits were happy
together. Sometimes they would each
go on the opposite side of their little
doorway and they would look through
their open doorway at each other for
tiLS SlNNi JOY " SdHlHS at tltI otHtI
and of putting off the moment when
again they would be side by side.
For ii was SO nice to look forward
to being side by side in so short a
time. The joy of looking forward was
very pleasant in itself.
Oh, how these two rabbits loved each
other. They would sit so very close
together and their little heads would
be close together, and they would be
as happy rs could be!
And how the children in the hospital
did enjoy them!
They were devoted TO each other,
they were devoted 10 the children and
they were devoted to cabbage and car
rotS,
And the children petted them and
loved them and yet didn't fuss with
them in any way, but q very gentle
way, and the rabbits loved their new
home.
They had a big home made Of wood,
and 1t was at the end Of the hospital
ward Enclosed in a big kind Of a yard
which had been made and which was
surrounded by wood and wire.
In the yard there was grass and
some earth and plenty of delicious
food and vegetables, too.
The rabbits thought hospital life
was very happy and very pleasant.
Sometimes when a new child came
to the hospital, a little girl perhaps
who had to have her tOnsils taken out,
the rabbits would make her feel less
strange and SHY and lonely and home
sick.
For the rabbits wiggled their little
noses and moved their ears as though
to say:
This isn't a dreadful place Mt all /!
Why. you don't know the good times
we have here. You wouldn't believe
it u n ess you were here.
Our matron isn't one OF those fool
ish people who think that the only way
to have children good Is to make them
very quiet and never allow them to say
hardly a word.
