you may not believe it, Jake,

1t was more pleasing to Chickie's
young enthusiasm to believe that
a doctor like young David Ramm
was a selfish being. utterly devoted
to his work. She said this to
Jake, adding: "You don't know.
You ought to come here some
day and see an operation. You'd
be. thrilled. And you'd see for
yourself"

ceived but didn't analyze. Once
she thought: IF were a man.
/ would be like that"
And another time she was COM
ing out Of the treatment room as
the doctor passed. He said Par
don me-" very courteously as
though she was a graduate. It
filled her with excitement.
One day tthere was a blood
TRANSMISSION case. DR.. Ramm was
the surgeon. The probationers on
the ward were allowed to attend.
Chickie Oand Phyllis were pre-
sent. They saw the wide glass
tube and the sharp point of it
inserted into the donors vain.
The glass turned crimson, then
with a quiet and q swiftness en-
tirely magical the filled vessel
moved to the recipient, and the
blood was transferred to the pa
TENTS veins.
Chickie had often dreamed Of
pouring out her life for some one
she loved. It seemed SO heroic to
offer ones blood. Now she
watched, breathless and moved as
though this man working so
deftly were one inspired. The
whole day she thought OF IL
with a trembling awe.
1t was about this time that CON
siderable excitement hummed
about the nurses home. The SEN
Tors were preparing for Hal
ms aAr
ton of two or three who would
be asked to pass sandwiches and
act generally as maids, the pro-
bationers would not be invited.
There was feverish speculation
as to the lucky three chosen.
''I heard they ask the three
who have the highest marks for
the month";" Myrtle said at din
ner one evening.
Usually Chickie, Phyllis, Mar
garet Howard and Norma Talbot
sat at one table. Though Myrtle
much preferred the company of
Sophia Gates she was distinctly
jealous Of Chickie's preference.
Whenever a vacant chair was at
their table, she took it.
She went on: $50 that lets us
out, Bryce"
Chiclde was tired Of this CLASH
fication. She said: my marks
are high. 1 got SO in the last
test"
Myrtle laughed. What did YOU
get in bed-making? Zero plus!"'
Norma added, bitingly: ''Well,
I heard they pick the pretty ones
so there! You don't suppose
they're going to let old lady
Preston in on the hop IL she
has perfection in everything. do
your"
Old lady Preston was the oldest
probationer She was the mother
of three children, widow and at
least forty.
Whether it was prettiness or
brilliance that won, Chickie was
chosen. So was Phyllis.
This Phyllis was a slender, very
earnest girl about nineteen. She
was dark, with bobbed hair and
moist brown eyes. Her people
had suffered heavy losses. PHYLLIS

The Dramatic Story Of
Clickie's Attempt
to Some Back"
Continued from Yesterday.


Because she was so filled with
apprehension for her own fate.
The class with Miss Alberta came
in the morning. Chickie had made
friends with the two girls she
had met first coming from the
showers. She liked them. She
walked into the class with them,
a sense of support in their COM
radeship. She half expected to be
ordered out. :
At the end Of the lecture, Miss
Alberta said: There is a notice
on the bulletin board. YSu are all
to read it"
The notice said: 'The following
preliminaries are to report at IL
o'clock for a second instruction
in bed making"
There were but two names
Chickie's and Myrtle's.
But every girl read the notice
and they were allf crowded to-
gether, making comments. Chickie
felt sick with the shame.
And she knew that her efforts
to laugh it off, to say, magnifi.
Gently: "Ho-bring on the FOOLS
cap for us!' was a sorry failure.
At II o'clock she was there in
the ward room. Miss Alberta
said: "If you can control your
temper today, Miss Bryce" She
said this before Myrtle-"perhaps
you'll be able to learn"
Chickie gave no answer. She
stripped and made the bed. She
did it perfectly.
But she was marked out in the
class as Stupid" and she was
to learn the scalding bitterness Of
this brand.

CHAPTER Xiv.
THE DANCE.

There might be humiliation and
petty shame, but Chickie loved
the new life; loved its quick, vivid
throb; its touch at the warm
breast Of things. She wanted pas
sionately to succeed; to shine
here.
Myrtle said to her: "You and
wont get by, Bryce, now that

clothes and no, money.
She had no dress to wear 10

At first Chickie wondered
whether she should go. The in.
ternes would come and MANY Of
the visiting DOCTORS, She became
very nervous and went to the
senior to excuse herself. The
senior said: you are elected to
come. That's all there's to it.

thing"
And she asked Jake.
He said, teasing. Am / in.

"Of course I am! Think what
a feather in your cap"
II haven't my cap yet, and /
may not get it."
Cap or no cap, Helena dear, /
GOMEZ"
In her heart she was delighted
and 1t turned out like this. She
really wanted to go-wanted 10
keep on pretending that the past
had never been-Ho-she was as
free as Phyllis-as anyone!
So Phyllis took a great hem in
one of Chickie's dresses Chickie
was as rapt and eager as she had
been seven years before when Jen-
ME seWed a gown of blue with lit
tie silver flowers wrought in the
fabric. She was young and
thrilled like that.
They decorated the dance hall
with black and yellow lanterns,
with cats and witches.
Chickie and Phyllis made a
great many of the sandwiches.
They were honored to be noticed
by the seniors; honored when the
seniors came into the little kitch-
enette and helped themselves
greedily before the feast.
Chickie wore the dress Of black.
1t made her face so white-liIie q
pearly flower. She drew her ilair
in D soft coil.
Nellie Andrews. a senior, said:
For, Gods sakes--why did we ask
your Then she whispered in
Chickie's ear: rs your handsome
friend coming?"
les
Introduce Nellie or I'll make il
hot for you IL you ever get in my
ward"
Chickie was half frightened to
attract SO much attention. All the
nurses looked at Jake. She knew
what their comments would be.
And he was quite gloating about
it. He whispered: What did I
tell you, Helena! This is jubi-
lant"
She was just introducing Jake
to Phyllis when she noticed across
the room Miss Alberta. Miss AL.
berta wore a stiff, brown, taffeta
dress and slippers with large
colonial wings. They were quite
out of style.
Miss Alberta's flat, big face
was very flushed and excited.
She was talking to DIR. Ramm.
His head was raised and he
seemed to be entirely remote
from the plain. bulky woman at
his side.
The internes whom Chickie
were taking the seniors for the

Jake hummed, swept his arm
about her-then he gave a low,
throaty laugh and reached out
his hand with q familiar: Hello,
Dave! How are your
Jake! Didn't expect to see
you here!
They stopped. moved to the
corner. Chickie's heart was at
least twice its normal size. 1t
was DIR. Ramm that Jake &C.
costed in this familiar tone.
And now he said as though he
were talking to any old friend:
"Dave-you've probably met Miss
Bryce, haven't your"
No
"Then don't lose any time
about it. She'll be q better
nurse yet than you're doctor"
