CHAPTER XVIII

You may go in, Mrs. LenoX." A
starched, white nurse showed Mary
into DR.. O'Connell's consulting room
the next afternoon.
Mary had waited scarcely at all
when the deep bass voice of DR..
O'Connell doomed:
$50 this is Gilbert's wife. And
how are you, my dear?"
DR.. O'Connell had a thick thatch
of iron gray hair. A smile twinkled
in eyes behind steel bowed spec
tacles.
Before I left the Base Hospital
I was given this to deliver to YOU
He handed her a letter addressed in
Gilbert's handwriting. Mary reach
ed eagerly for the letter, aware
anew of a feeling she could not
name.
"Now let's have a look. Let's see
about these facial nerves and see
just how deep the damage has
gone" DR.. O'Connell went on.
He tapped her face with light
fingers, AS if to put her at ease he
kept up a flow of conversation.
Your husband is doing a mighty
fine job in France. It's the young
medical men who are doing the real
surgery at the front. That's why ]
came back. Here in England 1 can
serve my country better by being
on hand when the cases that are
invaded home arrive. Ordinarily, it
takes months to build up a seriously
wounded man to the point where
plastic surgery would be any good
at ALL"
TT makes me proud to hear about
Gilbert"
you have every reason to be
proud Of him, my dear" He tilted
her face under the strong white
examining light and studied the in.
jured cheek critically.
"You don't know how much this
means to me-" she said at length.
"Save YOU thanks until after
wards" he said gruffly. ut will be
time enough when we see if the op-
Grafton is successful"
you mean there's a doubt?" she
paled.
well there's always a doubt. We
know in advance what the re.
suits will be. We can only hope.
Here's what 1 want you to do. You'll
be admitted to the hospital today.
Well operate tomorrow morning, if
you agree"
With the dispatch which charac-
terized DR.. O'Connell, Mary found
herself a patient in a private room
in the same hospital she had left
only a few weeks earlier. She pur.
posely waited until the gruelling
routine of tests was over to read
the letter from Gilbert. She had to
be alone.

Despite the ferocity of the &C

Troops Fire
Despite the sa~lutations to the

fired when the mob refused to dis

the soldiers had been ordered to
shoot into the air, and that any
casualties resulted from falling or
stray shots.

The Iron Guardists had gathered

Suddenly, the gendarmes sprang
from hiding, fixing their bayonet

There are times when a child is ILL.,
or during which he must stay quiet for
awhile. when it is unwise to let him
play with his usual toys, but he can
enjoy looking at playthings especially
chosen and hung near him. If the
priseS introduced into the exhibit. the
child will take his enforced rest more
contentedly. Should the little ones
tedious days come at Christmas time,
don't fail to try this plan.
PlaythingS that are lightweight and
which may be attached by a string or
cord to the bed or a chair serve the
purpose nicely, because they give the
child more than the ordinary furnish
ings to look at. and he will not have
the burden of holding them or the
irritation of seeing them roll or slide
out of his reach.
Several balloons of bright colors, if
tied securely to footboard, chair back,
mantel or other fixture, will create a
gay and amusing effect. If window
is open or there is air in motion from
a ventilator, radiator or a register,
the balloons may be hung nearby on
a curtain rod. bracket or by push
pin on the wall where they will sway
in the breeze or nod merrily up and
down. Sometimes a balloon may be al
lowed to drift where it pleases or be
hung where the child may set 1t swing
ing by a slight touch.
Paper airplanes of various sizes,
colored in pleasing patterns, may be
used in the same way. The strings at
tached to them may be Of different
lengths and the little planes hung
singly or grouped in various forma-
tons.

child will enjoy imitation insects that
are life size and some that are ex-
ceptionally large or amusingly tiny.

All these articles must be lightweight
enough to hang, swing or float in the
