Mary Bercnd was a war bride.
Her husband was a seaman, whose
life had been saved when his tanker
exploded, but who had Immediately
zone out on another boat. 1t was
i've months since Mary had heard
from him. She was poor and alone
and hopeless. Gail had attended her
at the Prenatal Clinic, and had
taken an interest in her. She was
like a starved kitten.
Now, as she opened her small
black bag and laid out her instru-
ments, Gail said, well do our best
to make it a boy, Mary"
The weary eyes looked at her,
suddenly painfully hostile. What
for?" Mary demanded. $50 he can
be killed? What's he got to look
forward to? He's better off not
getting born. 1'm-l'm better off
dead" Her words were drowned
in a spasm of pain.
Gail examined her carefully; the
blood pressure was a little high.
But that didn't trouble her so much
as Mary Berend's reluctance to
fight.
She sat down beside the bed,
preparing for a longish wait. She
was accustomed to the discomforts
and exigencies of Home Delivery
babies. The year she had interned
at the Thayer Hospital, she and
Ralph Kramer had both got plenty
of experience. DR.. Mccormick sent
them out on practically every Home
Delivery in the slums. They had
worked in squalor and filth. But
they had learned obstetrics.
That knowledge and experience
were to come in handy as the night
waned. The child was coming, but
the mother made no effort to help it.
Mary Berend lay in the sagging
bed, her body convulsed, her hands
clenched.
The night spent itself. Gail lost
track of time and of her surround
ings. She was hardly aware of the
ianitor's wife, who had brought IN
a not of coffee. Her blue silk frock
under the white linen gown was
drenched. The muscles around her
mouth ached with tension.
At five o'clock in the morning, the
child was born. A six-pound boy
Gail wrapped him in a little sheet
and turned her attention to Mary
aqain. Finally, when the j%anitor's
wife had promised to stay there
Gail left.
She stood beside her parked cal

first rosy light painted the sky. The
air was cool and sweet. How happy
she was to get the job as Springdalt
Health Officer! There was so mucf

ing, of course, was beyond hel

and lipstick, but there was nothing
particularly hard about her. AS a
mater of fact, her eyes were quite
scared and childish.
Gail said quietly, "I'm sorry to
tell you the Wasserman was posi-
tive"
The girl looked down at her scar
let nails. "What does that mean??"
You'll have to take q series Of
injections. It's no fun, it takes quite
a long time, but when it's finished,
you should be all right"
How much will it COST"

There was no gratitude IN the

said candidly. can Johnny Serma-

The girls eyes were suddenly hos

nursing the baby who was making
soft little sounds. She greeted Gail
with a faint smile. Hes hungry"
Il bet he isl" Gail said, going over
to take a look at the baby. Hes

more than ten days old"
1t was wonderful, really, what
the child had done for Mary. Imme-
diately after its birth, she had lost
her lassitude. Her vitality had in
creased together with her maternal
love. There was grief for the still
unknown fate of her seaman hus-

Her mind raced ahead excitedly.
She couldn't wait to start. Suddenly
she thought of Burke and his
mother. 1t seemed funny now that,
last night. Mrs. Gentry had doomed
up as such an obstacle, so i'm
portant, when actually she didn't
matter at all. If Gail could fight so
gallantly for her work, she could
do ever better for love!
Gail was rushed these pleasant,
early autumn days. Plenty of work,
Katie grumbled, but did the doctor
get paid? No, everybody had ex-
cuses. Excuses or not, Gail felt she
was making progress. Her self
confidence was greater and, even
though DR.. Cassius Mccormick had
an icy. resentful glcam in his eyes
when he met her in the clinics, she
was extraordinarily happy. Fur
thermore, Burke had been so much
nicer since that unfortunate dinner
at his mothers home, that Gail was
almost hopeful for their future.
1t was Thursday morning. Gail
climbed the dark, narrow stairs of
the Markey Building to the top floor
where the Springdale Health Office
was situated. She opened the win

She also wanted to organize a day

with that. Gail didn't mind going tc

will be developed with French
help"
