 "Yes," he said, If you still want
 "want you to? Of course you must! I heard 1t was all fixed"
 "So 1t is. While you were away, l thought I could"
 You could?" Her voice was full of fear,
 T still can, Judy, now I have seen you" he said gravely. T can't quite explain. but it's like this you've taught me. You could risk your life for an old man you'd never seen before. You never thought of yourself" She laughed. She. could not help herself. The strain was becoming too much.
 II didn't think about anything at all, silly!" she cried. You don't --in a place like that!
 Steyne knew he must so. Judy's eyes we're fever bright and her face was scarlet--just as red as when her cheeks had been painted. Paint was not encouraged. prob- ably not allowed, in the nursing nome.
 He stood looking down at her. In his blue eyes was the unspeakable, the eternal farewell. She looked up, smiling. She was like some little ghost of a girl. Her red -gold hair made a violent spot of color in the airy, white room.
 "Goodby, Alan!" she said. I'm just a wee bit tired" Both her hands were bandaged and lay outside the quilt; but he did not touch them. He fell on his Knees, and for a moment he laid his head in her lap. She bent over | 1t, and her tears fell on his brown hair. :, :, He got up again and she smiled like an April day.
 Don't mind me-" she said gayly. 'I'm a silly woman. I'm so glad that Chummy is going to be hap py! And so will you. Bless you for ever and ever-both of you!"
 Steyne went out of the room as the nurse came in. Seeing him young and good to look at, and having fallen in love with her pa- tient, she smiled In kindly sym p4LMk

It was so wonderful-that courage. that sim pie self-sacrifice, that gayety which surmounted horror and fear and expressed itself in the tremendous singleness of love--love for m old unknown man, trampled on and helpless In a panic at theatcr fire! And the dancer might never dance again.
 Chummy could not bring herself to ask; but presently Judy said:
 You know, Chummy, they say may never be able to dance again; but then, on the other hand, 1 may. So it's toss up, you see!"
 "Oh. Judy, Judy, that would be awful"
 The nurse came in with some nourishment, and very kindly but firmly decreed that Miss Morley must go. She went out of the room while the friends said goodby.
 "Chummy," Judy whispered, "you won't wait any longer, will you, pet? You'll be married quite soon?"
 "Yes, Judy, quite soon."

 "That the Christmas season is an unusually receptive time to put little things over. Generosity, re- membering the poor and sick, working to earn and all that"

Kick out from the knee and then let the leg fall back. This will move you about bit until you get used to balancing on one foot. But 1t is excellent for your whole muscular system.
 When you have thoroughly lim- bered up one leg to the knee, change feet and go through all the motions on the other side. Do both sides a couple of times and see if your feet do not feel much warmer and more alive. Now you need to work on your hips before your whole leg muscles feel to- tally relaxed.

The old slang phrase. Shake a leg," is an excellent guide to exer- cises to Timber you up.
 You must shake your feet first, however. Begin with your toes, standing toes in, leaning more on the outside of your feet than the Inside, and scrunch your toes about, trying to exercise every one.
 If you Imagine that you are a child digging your toes into nice wet mud or sand on beach you will get the idea of how to wriggle your toes. Once you learn how, you can wriggle them inside your shoes during the day as you sit at your desk or ride on a street car or. just wait for friend in a res- taurant. This wriggling helps cir- culation and is especially good for those who have cold feet in win- ter time, or any other time.
 After you have limbered up your toes, stand on one foot and raise the other slightly and begin wrig- gling the whole foot, from the ankle. Turn 1t around in circles if you can. At least you can raise 1t up and push 1t back and bend 1t part way to first one side, then the other.

 town. At her departure she had been feted like q national heroine. Crowds had collected all along the route of the motor ambulance and had cheered and shouted for the little dancer who had risked her life for an unknown old man.
 Chummy was the first to see her. Judy asked for Chummy and went on asking for her until the doctor gave way.
 Chummy made her way through a roomful of flowers. she still had that curious sense of not being able to feel anything.
 Judy was not in bed. She was in a big chair, heaped with pillows. She was pathetically small--a little broken bundle, wrapped in great bandages. Her face was untouched but frightfully thin and white and her eyes were preternaturally bright with fever and pain; but she was getting much, much better.
 "Chummy! Darling, darling Chummy!" said the hoarse voice.
 Chummy felt something snap in her breast. The power of feeling came back to her and she fell on her knees beside Judy's chair, knowing that she loved Judy bet ter than anyone in the world.
 Judy! Little, little Judy!"
 ''You can't touch mel" laughed Judy hysterically. If you want to kiss me, you must just peck at my cheek. It seems I'm made of sugar, and l can't be put out in the sun or left out in the rain. I'd melt, or break, or something!"
 Chummy pressed her lips to the bandaged hand that lay on the satin quilt over Judy's knees.
 "Judy! Wonderful little Judy!"
 "Not wonderful at all, Chummy daSling,s said the gay, hoarse voice. "I was in blue funk, l can tell you!"
 "But you risked your life to save an old man!"
 "Chummy, he was such an aw- fully old mana little old man. all bent and quite helpless. I think they had trodden on him. He had suSh blue eyes and he looked so nauddled, as if he didn't know where he was. Oh, he was ever so old!"
 And Judy sighed, because the little old man had since died.
 She asked after everybody, and after Alan, too. In the most na- tural way. She was so glad that Chummy and Alan are going to be married. It was splendid, and they must really hurry up and waste no time. Of course, Chummy had found out that her silly old work wasn't going to stand in her way.
