with renfOld attr1tIon. But her
wakings were frequent, and, as
has been seen, often violent.
Sometimes, however, she would
open her eyes quietly soon after
midnight, with the dismal GER
tainty that sleep would not return
to her for many hours.
For the first few weeks, since
she was no longer in pain, an at
tempt had been made to induce
gradually habit of natural sleep.
She was given no drugs during
this time, but the results were so
unsatisfactory that a compromise
was quickly made by which she
was allowed Is grains of aspirin
every other night. ut should be
said that aspirin had never been a
familiar recourse at The Wilder
ness in the way it is in many
modern households.)
This produced a marked i'm
provement, though by no means
complete alienation. The nurse
had been in the habit of admins
tering the aspirin, mixing it with
glass of barley water. When
the nurse left Tim took over this
duty, and he began experimenting
at once.
During the first week he gave
her the dose as prescribed, noting
it's normal effect on her. In the
second week he graduated it off,
letting her have 10 grains on
Tuesday, five on Thursday, and
five again on Saturday. No very
marked change was produced.
Esther, Of course, had no idea she
was not receiving her draught
properly. He gave her the barley
water as usual, and as it had al
ways effectively concealed the
flavor she noticed no change. Tim
would take the proper dose out of
the bottle and dispose Of it
either taking it himself, or letting
it dissolve and run away with the
waste as he washed himself in the
bathroom basin.
The third week he let her have
the barley water straight, and, as
he had anticipated, suggestion and
habit began to prove too weak to,
do the work of the drug. She be-
came noticeably more restless, her.
wakeful periods came sooner and,
were longer protracted, and on
the Friday she had another night
mare. Her loss of sleep left its
mark on her face. -.
It was about this time that
Grantley, Harold Arlwright, and
Alma Shepherd, following up
Tins hint, came to. appreciate
that his anxiety was based on,
rather firner ground than they
had suspected. =. Tim was well
satisfied, but he was not going to-
force things on. He wanted the
initiative to come from Esther
and it took about 10 days for her
to come to the point.
