his arms a child Of his own.
That had been his real farewell to
the hospital, although he made a for
NAL one the next day, going cheerful
ly, shaking hands, laughing promising
to come back often. Then at last he
heard the big front doors close be-
hind him and ne knew that he was
through with that phase of his life
and that he was at last alone in a not
too friendly world.
He was fully awake now. He open
ed his eyes, yawned, and stretched,
and as he did so a brass ball from
the top Of the bed fell down and
struck him sharply on the head. His
reaction was instant and indignant.
He caught it up and flung it across
the room, and the resultant clamor
broke the Sunday morning calm like
an explosion. When it had subsidized,
he heard slow footsteps climbing the
stairs and a drawing voice outside
which he recognized as belonging to
Henry Walters, with whom and whose
family he shared the house,
Anything wrong, Doc?"
THAT ball fell off the bed again
and hit me- And don't call me Doc!"
81 fixed it yesterday, Doctor"
well, it didn't stay fixed. Can 1
get through to the bathroom ?"
Henry, outside, cleared his throat.
"I'll tell you, Doctor, Dick got home
kinda late last night, and his moth
er thought he'd better sleep this
morning. He amt so well. If you
wouldn't mind using the back
stairs"
ut won't kill him if l go through
will it?"
Access to the bathroom was
through the room occupied by Dick
and a part of the arrangement haC
been that Dick should be up and out
early for that reason. But the last
thing in Dick Walters mind was tt
be up and out early; and now Chris
heard Henry's apologize cough
again.
"I'm sorry. He's locked the doors.

CHAPTER ONE

Young Doctor Arden was going
through the process of reorienting
himself after a nights sleep. He had
been doing that now for two weeks.
He would open his eyes, gaze for a
second or two at his strange sur
roundings, and then close them a.
gain. The wide brass bed with the
sagging springs became the narrow
one of his hospital bedroom; the tele-
phone beside the bed would ring at
any moment, and he would have to
hurry into his clothes and go, half
awake to the slow old elevator with
the ancient colored Joe inside.
Let me off at the corner of the
park, Joe. Got to meet lady"
Eyes, sir" Joe would say, grinning.
1t was an old joke between them,
but for Joe it had never lost its hu-
NOR.
The elevator would rise with delib-
Grafton. 1t was an open cage, and
there would be vistas of long bare
halls, poorly lighted, and of tired
night nurses waiting hopefully fol-
the dawn, or of convalescents from
the wards, in hospital trousers OF
loose wrappers, shuffling along in
carpet slippers for this purpose OF
that.
Then somewhere the elevator WOULD
stop, and he would step out, tall
disreputable figure to find an anxious
nurse waiting for him.
Its Baird in d ward, Doctor. Hel
temperatures been dropping since
three o'clock"
For a little time then he would be
king. More, he would be a god Of
sorts; nurses hurrying to obey his or
ders, the ward watching him with in
terest, and perhaps some feeble lift
hanging on his quickness, his skill
"Tray here?"
Eyes, Doctor"
"All right, Baird This will max,
you feel better"
He would stand or sit by the bed
holding to a wrist, watching the ris
and fall of a chest. His world Away
sharply contracted at such times. l
consisted only of the patient on tn
bed and himself, with a nurse hover
ing by. But somtimes, especially
the call came early in his sleep, h
acted by a sort of automatism. H
would go through the proper motions
but in the morning he would hardl
remember There might be an empt
bed in ward, the patient gone an
the mattress rolled up on the wir
springs, ready for sterilizing.
would come to him then with a shoe
that he had seen a human soul pas
on the night before and had gon
back to bed and forgotten it.
"Well, you did all you could, Doc
tor"
II wonder!" he would say, and fee
the eyes of the ward on him.
All day he would have sense o
guilt. Then it would pass. By eve
ming, in the internes' room, he woul
be drinking a surreptitious glass 0
beer and saying: Nothing to do wit
that fellow in A. Came in too late
Who wants some poker?"
But it was not quite so easy a
that. He had bad habit of goin,
back over his cases. the poker gam
would start; some of the internes

Dickinson from the laboratory.

times only two were left to mari

time. But there would be times when
his mind wandered back to some emp
ty bed in the silent hospital overhead.
Wake up, Chris! What are you so
glum about?"
His name, which was Noel, had
been altered by some wag to Christ
mas, and from that to Chris.
Sorry, I'll check the bet"
1t would pass, he knew. In few
hours or a day he would have forgot
ten. His big heavy-shouIdered figure
would once more move with assurance
into the wards, and once more at
times he would be king or even God
to his small domain. He would whis-
tie in the corridors and make his lit
tie jokes in the wards.
Hold still now. This is going to
hurt you more than it hurts mel" Or:
"Kick with that leg? Sure you will.
You've been kicking ever since you
came in here!"
There would be a triumphant
swing to his shoulders under the
white coat when at last the dressings
were done and the wards quiet. He
would change his soiled coat for a
fresh one, light a cigarette, stop to
chat with a nurse.
"Well, suppose you were out dan
cling last night"
Dancing! I've got other uses for
my feet"
well, they're very nice feet" ne
would say, and wander on cheerfully.
But there were many times when
he felt that he had failed. Sometimes
when the screens would be up around
the bed, he would be alone with the
patient, just the two of them, and it
would seem strange to him that one
of them was going on into death and
the other back to warm room and
to sleep. 1t seemed unfair. He felt
. ashamed then of his vitality, and OF
the fact that when it was over, he
meant to see if there was anything
left from the night nurses supper.
DR.. Arden grunted and turned over
