WIDENING RIFT CHAPTER XIII


 As the end of the term neared and things crowded up they managed, Candace and Martin, fewer and fewer times together. There were not many broken engagements, Martin seemed able, usually to plan ahead.
 "This coming week looks pretty foul" he would say, T don't think I'll be able to see you. But even so, an occasional last-minute dis'ap- pointment couldn't be avoided, ap- parently.
 Candace was determined not to mind. She would warn herself lightfully. "This is only the begin- ming, gal only the beginning. It's a sad life, being a doctors wife"
 Martin seemed to stand up un- der it less well. He had periods of fierce dejection. he was moody and morose. He showed the bad state of his nerves in various small ways. Candace thought of his re- . action to the teasing about the hospital appointments, for one thing. Though his marks had al ways been good. Peter had been an honor man all through school and his were much better. Any priority in the appointments might have been expected to fall to him; yet it had not. Martins had come through a full two weeks before Peters had.
 Peter had said good -naturedly s'That must have been right powerful medicine you gave the Hartshorne pooch. Corby." Martin said shortly. "I'm getting pretty tired of that gag" He looked ugly and Candace had felt twinge of shame for him.
 Peter, too, was studying hard. yet it did not appear to tell on him Candace wondered a little about that. It was, she supposed due tc the difference in temperament in the two. Certainly Martin was mentally as keen, she thought loyal ~, but he was apt to neglect things and then try to correct them in sud den periods of application. Peter on the other hand was con scientiousIy regular in his studies and SO did not suffer the feeling oi guilt that was. she guessed. one oi tho causes of Martins outbursts.
 She caught her thoughts up short suffering q sense of guilt. Because the worst strain under which Mar tin labored. she was sure, was this business Of herself. Everybody warned that long engagements were a strain. She herself knew it now, But yen couldn't do anything about failing ili love.
 Their worst trouble. she felt. was In being separated 60 that it was Q mgohiem even % see each ether. Ii tlfey could work ln the same hos. Nlial at least, Certainly occasional allmpses, matched niolneuls would E better than nothing nt aii,

ters that you have on top your dres- ser waiting to be mailed. I've seen those that you have addressed to that doctor all the time. It's my guess this transfer you want so bad ly is connected with him.
 The title doctor" on the letter ad- dressed to Martin had started as a joke; but surely with such short time to go he had a right to it., Candace had felt proudly, and had continued the practice. She said quietly to Gates, Yes?'
 Gates thought bitterly, I've done it now, I've certainly stuck my neck out. .. She said, trying to hide her dismay under an air of insolence, Hasn't anybody ever told you that doctors don't marry nurses? Oh, it happens once in while. sure. Doc- tors are exposed to nurses and every once in 8 while weak enc suc- cumbs. It's sort of an industrial disease. But the incidence, as they say of diseases, is not very high"
 She had no way of knowing who Martin was, she had taken 1t for granted that he was someone that Candace had met since going into training. She had honestly felt that no good could come of 1t.
 She plunged on desperately, At least don't ever chase a man. Any man. If any transferring has to be done. let him do 1t. That way he won't get tired as quick. and even if he does you at least still have your pride"
 Candace thought. shocked. so that's how 1t appears to an outsider Suppose such an idea should ever occur to Martin?
 Her stony expression frightened Gates. She said flippantly. "Well. come on, chop me down. I rate It. But I mean well, honest ] do. My intentions are good"
 Candace relaxed. Of course such an idea would never occur to Mar tin. She was ashamed of even the momentary doubt. Gates would never understand about herself and Martin, nor did Candaee care to exc plain. She had feeling of distaste that Gates had ever dared touch the subject at all. She said gently, "It isn't the way you think it ls. oates. It's all right. really

Though she had said nothing of it to Martin. she had been trying, ever since the boys appointments were made definite to obtain a transfer to Good Samaritan. Good Samaritan was a fashionable hos pital, catering to wealthy patients and there was a little more to getting in there, it appeared, than simply being a good nurse.
 The transfer of nurse in train- ing was rare thing, but Candace was learning for the first time the advantages of having had the right schools, of knowing the right people and she was making shameless use of them all to be near Martin.
 In May, when she had almost given up hope, the transfer came through, to be effective almost i'm mediately.
 She came away from her inter view with Miss Maher-the Duchess, the girls always referred to the head feeling almost giddy with happi- ness. She had to make deliberate effort to keep from running and shouting aloud; her pace along the corridor of the nurses home was almost run anyway. She dashed into her room and slammed the door behind her and leaned against it, panting.
 Evelyn Gates was there, sitting on her bed and putting buttons on a fresh uniform. She looked up curi- ously. Whats up?"
 Candace was glad of Gates. She had felt she must burst If she didn't tell someone. Without Gates to spill it out to she was afraid that the temptation to phone Mar tin and tell him immediately might prove too much for her; and she didn't want to do that, she wanted to save that news for his birthday anniversary, due the next week. It was sheer luck that the transfer had come just now. That would be her best present to him. Her mar velouS present.
 Gates, it's come through" she said breathlessly. The transfer. l mean.
 Gates looked up unsmiling. "I'm glad. I know how much you want ed it," She didn't know why. though
 How much I wanted 1t? Candace repeated happily. "Oh, Gates, you couldn't know"
 Gates laid the uniform aside and stretched backward across the bed. leaning on her elbows so that her head jutted at an odd angle between her shoulders. "Ill bet the Duchess didn't think much of the idea"
 Candace giggled, "She certainly didn't. She seemed to think it was kind of dumb to risk having to re- peat maybe six months of training. She seemed to think it was a sign of emotional instability"
 Well isn't 1t kind of dumb?" Gates questioned. She added Sur- prislngly. "She almost hit It on the bead with that emotion business, too"
 Candace's smile slowly faded. ''What do you mem. 0ates7"
 Gates rose from the bed like 6 spring uneoiling Elabcrately casual she hitched her bathrohe more sec curely around her and walked over 10 her dresser and busted herself with brushing her hair, That way, her own face was hidden but she could steal glances at candaee's ln tho mirror.

HELENA, Mont, July 22.-Sen-
ator James E. Murray, ardent
Roosevelt supporter who accused
his colleague, Burton K. Wheeler,
of attempting to purge him, took
growing lead today in his race
for denomination on the Demo-
cratic ticket.
The primary, one of the most list

Senator Wheeler. stanch iso-

not up for reelection this year.
Senator Murray, in turn. said
Senator Wheeler had attempted to
purge him and "besmirch our
President" and that the apparent
result was victory for the admin
istration.
He claimed denomination on the
basis of returns from 1893 of the
States 1,185 precincts which gave
him 20,435 votes and former Rep
resentative Joseph B. Monaghan of

this showed the voters had "repu-

In a last-minute radio talk Sem

Possibility Of Power
Shortage Doubted
By WPB Officials
Krug Believes Only
Problems Will Be Local
And Not Affect War
By the Associated Press.


j. A. Krug, chief of the power
branch of the War Production
Board, expressed confidence today
that war production would not be
crippled by shortage OF electric
power.
I'VE have sufficient electric pow
err" he said, ito meet all the require
ments of war production and for
essential civilian needs, If used wise
ly-as far as we can see ahead"
He emphasized, however, that
some local shortages probably would
occur, necessitating curtailment of
non-essential consumption. He
urged that no person should permit
any wasteful use of electricity.
The improved power outlook was
attributed to rains that have built
up the reservoirs behind the great
hydro dams, to the huge generator
production program, and to extern
sive interconnections and adjust
ments for the output and transmits
sion of power.
Exceeds Axis Resources.
One power official said this coun-
try is in a position to match and
out-do any nation or combination
of nations in a war of kilowatts. He
said America had greater resources
of electric power than all Axis
sources combined.
Mr.. Krug's statement followed the
prediction by the Brookings Insti-
tuition of an eventual power short
age Sufficient to impede the war
production effort" unless "conserva-
ton and more effective power utili-
zation is undertaken in the imme-
diate future"
The WPB power chief said the
energy outlook was especially bright
in the Southeast and Far West,
centers of aluminium and war plane
production
I'm the hydro areas Of the South
east and the West" he said, I'VE
have no reason to anticipate likeli-
hood of any but minor shortage dur
ing the next year, such as might
result from equipment breakdowns.
Power Stored in South.
In the South, he said, there now
are 1000, 900 900 more kilowatt hours
