Madge Took LeiIa's Place With Mrs. Durkee

Even as l inserted my key into the lock of the side hall door at the Dur kee house l wondered where Kath- crime Bickett could be. Alfred had not mentioned her, and surely under ordinary conditions she would have been able to keep little Mrs. Durkee from the nervous hysteria indicated by her choked cry to me.
 I spent no time in conjecture, however, but hurried up the stairs and into the room where Her Fluff finess'' had surrounded herself with the dainty things she so loves. The little woman ran across the room from the window at my entrance and threw herself into my arms, sobbing convulsively.
 'Madge. I cant go through with this. Send the doctor away. cant see him"
 Over her head buried in my shoul- der I saw Leila, the tears running down her face and her hands twist ing together. She shook her head at me in token Of the uselessness of ap- peal to her mother-in- law. but made one, nevertheless,
 "Oh, mother. dear, you mustn't say that You promised us Why, he has come all the way from De- tYoit-"
 T don't care if fe has come all the way from the Fiji islands" the little woman exploded with another burst Of tearing sobs, He can just turn around and go right back again. won't see him He'll want to slash me up--that's what those doctors and hospitals want. How would they get their living if they didn't operate? But they shan't touch me. If I've got to die I'll do it decently in my own bed at home
 Nervousness Aggravated
 "oh mother don't :" Leila's voice was a quivering vail, and although I knew that her own physical and nervous condition was some excuse for her, yet had hard work to find patience for the utterly futile exhibi- ton she was giving. saw only too well what had happened. For some reason Katherine was away. In her absence little Mrs. Durkee, who had kept up bravely under the tense strain of waiting for a final verdict upon her condition, had been swept by brain storm which Katherine could have controlled in its incipiency, but which Leila, by her own nervousness, was aggravating.
 l put up hand, palm outward. and motioned Leila peremptorily out Of the room. think she was glad enough to go. Indeed, she scurried out hastily, but I caught an inyolun- tary, resentful flash from her fearful eyes before she oheyed, and I real ized that subconseiously she was jeal- ous because I had stepped into the role which was her right by kinship. I felt as if had experienced the glimpse into her mental workings which a swiftly opening and shutting door would have given me, and that perhaps her attitude toward her hus- band might be illnmined by the same fiashlight exposure, if I only had time to study it.
 soothing Mrs. Durkee
 But something more important i faced me peremptorily. and I drew the sobbing little figure in my arms closer to me, and spoke in an off- l hand manner.
 Don't pay any attention to Leila. 1 She's got this thing all wrong. You arc under no obligation to see Dr. 1 Braithwaite. He was coming east l enyway'-fibbing outrageously-"and
