She went like this for three blocks,
then she turned around with a fright

seen her? They would think her
mad.
1t was golden morning in June
the street bland as a song. She
went wandering along. Finally she
got on a street car and rode down
town. She walked aimlessly along
looking into shop windows.
She saw a bolt of blue ribbons
soft, faded blue like Jennie's eyes.
She hurried from that window-oh.

: She went deliberately to the mir
ror. took a clean handkerchief and
wiped her face. Then she drank a
glass of water. With the quiet Of a
machine she went down the steps,
back along that corridor. And she
was standing in the office again.
It was half an hour before she
was admitted.
Miss Simonds appeared worried.
Seeing Chicltie in street clothes she
said astonished: TITS not necessary
that you leave today. Miss Bryce.
You may stay until it Is convenient

Chickie leveled her eyes to pic

with a soft irony: 1T is az con-

would like to ask, Miss Simonds-
have you the power-the sole power
in this case? Have you the right
to take my life in your hands as
you are doing? I mean, is it accord
ing to the rules of the hospital?'
Miss Simonds' face redeemed:
IF you wish to take the matter
before the student body, that is your
privilege, as you know. But l must
warn you that you will only add to
the pain Of the experience. Fur
Their, you may have charges brought
against, If you wish. But you have
admitted everything. The proceed

this step I am merely answering

And if these charges were not

What is the purpose of your

capable hand across her forehead:

Chickie swayed: Might not some
other reason be given?"
Can you ask me, Miss Bryce, to
enter into an agreement to deceive
and misrepresent? I consider it
very wrong that you yourself did
this in entering here"
'Oh, Miss Simonds-what else
could 1 do? why should 1t be con-
sidered truthful and noble to fasten
this thing on me? Why is it
righteous to prevent me from
serving the right?"
1--WE have gone into all of this
There is no value In argument since
you can not be convinced of your
wrong doing. :"
"Oh, yes-I am we'll convinced of
that! But I am not convinced of
any ones power to insist that, once
down, remain DOWN.
