tions in an offensive against plen-
tiful enemy" Of wild game.
The first day of the hunting sea-
son, favored by mild weather,

bountiful number of hunters.
Typical were the reports from

land, and Dorchester County on the
Eastern Shore. In Frederick, 4,l00
county and State hunting licenses
had been issued, 766 of them in a
last-day rush, and SO Federal duck
stamps were sold, new record.
In Dorchester County more than

been exhausted and so provisional
ones issued to meet the demand.

cock, ducks and geese.

county, notifications of these dates,
particularly as to the closing dates.

dates. hunters had to remember bag
limits and several changes of the

blocked so as not to admit more
than three shells.

care to shoot only bucks with at least
two prongs on one horn. Those

CHAPTER XXI
Alone, outside that closed and
ominous hospital door, Gloria
Kent waited. She had called
Peter at Garfield Hospital, but
the switchboard operator had said,
DIR. Kent's in delivery. Any
message?"
She had left message for him;
had dialed her mother. But the
telephone at the bungalow did
not answer. And so she was here
alone with the grim night rou-
tine of the hospital flowing about
her, catching her for a moment
in its rhythm, then releasing her
to the sickening weight of her
own thoughts and fears.
The room in which she sat
opened upon the corridor, it's door
directly opposite the closed door
through which no one came
except once a hurrying inferno
who did not glance in Gloria'S
direction-who did not even seem
aware that she was waiting, had
been waiting, for one long hour.
DR. Carston had warned her that
it would be perhaps two hours
maybe longer. He had been
kind, as sympathetic as possible
for man whose traffic is forever
with suffering and pain.
WAITING
Waiting was intolerable. She
kept telling herself that the hos
pital had assured her that DR..
Carston, who was operating, was
the best in the city. She kept
telling herself that everything was
going to be all right. Tommy was
young and strong and would make
a desperate fight for life.
So there was nothing she could
do but wait wait for that wide
white door to swing open and then
search for an answer to her tor.
turing fears in the faces of the
doctors and nurses and operating
room attendants.
She got up from the low wicker
sofa, snapped off the light and
went to the window. She pulled
aside the thin cotton curtain. It
was dark and cold with stars that
seemed frosted against the black
drop of night.
She stood looking out at the
rear Of the hospital over the snow
covered roofs of stores bulked
dimly between her and the Palace
Hotel. And across the city, hardly
more than q towering shadow, was
Garfield Hospital and Peter. fight
ing grimly for some ones life as
DR.. Carston here was fighting for
Tommy's life.
She thought, IF Peter were only
here" And it occurred to her
suddenly that she had spent a
good many years wanting Peter
when she was in trouble.

BlanKly she picked UP the re-

Miss Oakley, the night super.
visor at Emergency, began crisply:
Mrs. Kent, your brother was Just

Lee having been found on the
Lake Road by a passing motorist.
She said that it was evidently
one Of those hit-and.run acct.
dents; that Tommy must have
been unconscious on that road
for hours. She said that his con.
dition was critical; that an emer.
gency operation would be per.
formed by DR.. Carston. Could she
come Immediately and sign the
relatives release so they could
proceed with the operation.
Gloria's heart stood still. She
said, and her voice was shaking
Are you sure, Miss Oakley? Are
you sure it's Tommy?" and she
thought, swiftly: But it couldn't
be Tommy. Tommy's in New York
The championship fight is day

Tommy. If Tommy were in town
he'd have let us know. Mother
would have known. And why or
