 "My-right-foot she sasped, as Jack bent over her. ''I-siipped-at the creek. Apiece of-of broken bot e-cut-through shoe on side. --tried-to-hind it-with strip 'orn-from underskirt. II bled terribly I'm so-so-W"ak-'
 Jack had already seen the gaping wound, having removed the blood soaked. inadequate bandage. She herself. had removed her shoe and had made use of her black cotton stocking as a tournlquet just below the knee. AS he saw the cut closer a terrible fear srippsi his heart. An artery had been seyered-of that ne was sure by the quantity Of blood in evidence. She. being nurse, had understood the necessity for q tour niquet and had fastened II as tight iy as possible without d stick which she had been unable 10 find among the rocks. Jack soon remedied this . bE N ISllllS d lt4l- IlrtItii ltN Ntti iN d' into q knot in the stocking. There was only one thing 10 be done. He must carry her up the hill. so as 10 lose no time in getting surgical help 10 her. Fortunately, she was a lightweight of no nor" than l20 pounds, and Jack Stuart was q big. strong man.
 Mike Sweeney was the first 10 sight him as he emerged from the chestnut grove with the flack-rob"d figure clasped in his arms. She rushed up, W hite with anxious .N- cltcment.
 Hurry an grt out your big car,'' he told her, briefly. Sister Monica fell--cut her foot terribly. Lost a lot Of blood. We must get her 10 'th' hospital-qulck..
 She nodded undeIptandingly Mary Elizabeth, as already shown, lost no time in nervous fluttcring in line face of emergency. Just as on q previous occasion, she acted first ! and talked afterward. Tn this in stance she asked no useless question. { but turned at once and ran to do his bidding. As she passed the side door Of the house, Father Ryan, Pat i Sweeney and Ann McGuffy came out.
 Jack found her." Mike cried, pausing just long enough to speak. she fell--cut her foot-bleeding aWful--must get her to hospital I'm going now for tn big car,' At the corner of the house she turned Her head and called back 'Tell Jack I'm hurrying.'
 And hurry she did. It was, in fact, only two minutes after his arrival with his now almost totally uncon scious burden. that Mike drove mp 10 the side door in the big Jim cuisine. ] Father Ryan. in the meantime. had i tolcphonad instructions 10 the hos pital to be ready for an emergency 1 operation.
 Fifteen minutes later the car stopped under the por,ico Of the ! hospital. Father Ryan leaped out and ran ahead to hurry propara - tions. Jack, with the now wholly ] unconscious form of Sister Monica claspoI in his arms, followed swift { ly in the wake Of the Mother Super ior. who had been anXiouslv waiting 10 conduct them to the operating room.
 Here two doctors took his burden i from him. the first time she had left his arms since he had started i with her up the winding. rock ! strewn path of the gorge. With 1 Father Ryan. Mike and her father and Ann McGnffy. whose Irish heart was almost breaking, he entered a i nearby room 10 await the report Of the two doctors. IL came two min utes later, and fear was born anew , in their hearts.
 sister Monica is right at death : 1oor,' said Dr. Allen, the house surgeon, in the short, crisp tones of one who knows that a wasted sec ond may mean the loss of q human life. "A blood transfusion is immc- lial"ly necessary. Not T minute is 10 h" lost-~not q second. \ strong pure -hloodod. healthy person under 20 is"
 Would answer requirements noctor"" cut in Jack, eag, rly. T know my blood is O. K. for I was ,Aamin"d two weeks ago for life ii- -urancc and passed all tests. And | I've got more blood than any one
 man needs. What d'yuh say. Doc ror ?'
 ''I say come with me yorur man' and may God bless you" bark-d , the doctor gladly, and catching 1h, volunteer by the arm he yanked hlu in tho direction of the surgery.
 TT you need any good Irish blood Doctor, I'll be waitins.." cried AO1 NcGuffy. tears streaming down lNer checks and her nose all rcd au, swollen.
 Me, too, Doctor" said Nikr.
 May need yuh- hoth-canr telI,' called back the surgeon. as he rush "d his first victim along. There been q tot o' blood lost"
 But as Jack Stuarf lad hoast"d l" had plenty Of blood. and coui, ",ll spar" q large quantity.
 And it was T large quantity 'ha was pumped straight from his ar '"rtos into those Of Sister Monica
