NOW COON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXXVII
Howard felt better next morn
ing though he was still shifting
and shiyery and eXasperated by
it. "Such a dumb thing to happen
i didn't realize how chilly it was
outside yesterday. III buy me a
dozen extra handkerchiefs before
/ get on the train and throw them
away"
"And DO take care of yourself,
Howard" begged Amy "When
you get to this new camp don't try
to do too, much until you're over
this. Stay in your quarters and
keep warm. Miss Tyler says that's
the best thing to do. And don't
write me any letters saying you're
all over it unless you aren'
Mary Jackson, too, urged him:
Don't run any risks. Howard. A
cold IS as bad as a bad airplane
for tricks. Since this awful flu
epidemic in the camps-stop look
inc at me like that! You know
I'm not a fuss"
"I'll throw this right off-the
day on the train will be good for
me. And don't you think I'll not
take care of myself, even with
nothing more than a cold. I've got
too much at stake to be reckless"
He telegraphed when he reach
ed the camp that his cold was bet
ter, that he had mountains of
work, that there was no likelihood
Of overseas orders Immediately.
And his letters repeated this, add
ing, 81 still need extra handker-
chiefs, but I'm too TANNED most
Of the time to remember them"
For the rest he wrote only how
much he liked the camp and the
field and that his colonel was an
old friend, and then he filled the
peges with talk about Amy and
the boy. "Tell me everything" he
wrote, "every least little thing.
And get some snapshots for me
as soon as YOU can"
r Miss Tyler had packed her uni
forms and departed. Amy was al
most at her full strength. Nancy
was home again. Howard Second
was a pound and a half heavier,
and the early April sunshine was
bringing thin promise of spring
in Marburg. In New York Jane
Terry was sitting in her office,
frowning over a bill of costs for
repairs in a building under her
management, when Mrs. Andrews
came in agitatedly to say that
there was an aviation officer out
side who "seems to be sick or
something = he's acting very
strangely" Behind her, flushed
and staring, Howard Jackson stag
gered and almost fell on the
threshold.
Jane" he stammered, "I'm
very-very sick. My side, it struck
me like knife-in the street.
And my head" he caught at her
desk for support, but his hands
slipped and he collapsed before
it. The two women, panic-stricken,
tried to lift him into chair, but
he was too far gone. They man
aged to straighten him, but ne
lay insensible on the floor.
"He's burning up with fever"
said Mrs. Andrews. at must be
flu, or pneumonia. I'd better no
