After a moment she raised her
eyes to Natalie's face and said
huskily, I'm sorry, but-well, of

that the hospital wouldn't charge

Natalie made swift decision.
"Okay, you win," she said. II

have the truth. So here 1t Is. The
hospital Is going to give your john
ny the best of everything-special-
lists, anything at all that will help
him. And you, too. And they are
going to send the bill to my hus-
band and me. That's our honey
moon present to you and Johnny.
NOW do you feel a little better?"
The girl stared at her, startled,
breathless. If, for a moment Ma
talie had been afraid she might re-
fuse, she knew now that the girl
had no such thought in mind. 1t
was as though Natalie's offer had
come as an answer to prayer-and
you don't refuse answers to prayer.
"Gee!" she whispered very low,
note Of awe and relief in her
voice. II don't know what to say"
You've said it." Natalie smiled
warmly at her. after all, when
two couples are honeymooning and
one couple gets in trouble, why

young woman, although her own
physical resistance is about on a
par with the young mans, was not
badly hurt. She was flung clear Of
the car, and has a couple of broken
ribs and some painful bruises and
decorations. But I think she needs
plenty Of good, nourishing food
and rest and peace of mind more
than anything else"
Before Natalie could answer, the
nurse came out of the girls room
and said quietly, "She's asking for
you-if you have a moment to
spare"
Eyes, Of course" said Natalie
eagerly. And to Brooks, you'll
wait for me, darling?"
Brooks eyes were cold, but his
manner was correctly polite and

resented her question.

And you couldn't possibly be any
happier than we were-before the
accident"
Her small face darkened and
there were tears in her eyes. Ma
talie bent over her, saying swiftly,
Now, you mustn't cry. He's going
to get well. He's got marvellous
chance. My husband and 1 have
been talking to the doctor and he
says your Johnny's going to have
the best of everything"
The girls face darkened with a
bitterness that twisted every atom
Of youth and warmth out of it.
"Yeah-he's going to have the
best of everything! He's going to
get kicked out Of here as soon as
they find out that we can't pay
even for a days room rent in this

we don't ever get anything but the
chance to starve to death. We amt

so why should I think we are 60

through her teeth, her small face
screwed up to check the tears that
slid down her thin cheeks.

talie, and her voice shook a little
with her earnestness, I've prom
ised you"
Sure, 1 know. You're swell.

Natalie's hand, warm and soft,
with the magnificent old emerald
that had been a betrothal ring in
the Brooks family for FIVE genera
tons shimmering above the slim
hoop Of diamonds on her middle
finger, closed warmly over the
other girls thin, shaking hand. And
Natalie said firmly, "See here, my
dear, I've given you my solemn
word Of honor that everything is
going to be all right. You're not
going to insult me by refusing to
