CED TEA ® SERIAL STORY INTERNE TROUBLE By Elinore Cowan Stone . rr r------------------k COPYRIGHT, 1938, NEA SERVICE, INC. A CE ie CAST OF CHARACTERS TRAN DEARBORN---heroine, stu- dent nurse, She ran into love and trouble when she met DR. BOB BENCHLEY -- hero, handsome, young interne. He had trouble, too, keeping up with brilliant DR. STEPHEN SARGENT--head surgeon. Dr. Sargent's problem was something elie again. Last week: Opportunity comes to Tran when she acts as inter- preter for an Italian patient. She does not notice that someone en. ters the room as, she quiets the in. jured man. CHAPTER VII Tran Feels "Power" Tran did not hotice that when Dr. Benchley was about to inter- rupt with, a swift question, some- one who stood in the background stopped him with a quick, low word. She only knew that the eyes of the man on the table clung to hers for reassurance, and that under _her hand the quivering in his arm lessened, the tense muscles relax- ed. =, . And for the first time in her life, Tran felt power.- It was something entirely apart from the quickness of mind that made it so easy for her to learn - from books. or the deftness that made play of manual tasks .It was | the sense of power that comes oer having strength to lend. to nother in need of strength. She did not know how long she stood so without looking up--feecl- ing quivering muscles relax under her. fingers -and- the calm assur- ance Of her voice--Dbefore a white clad nurse came with an orderly and wheeled the patient away. . | It was only then that Dr. Bench- "ley said with the irony of a pa- tience too long strained, "If it is not too much to ask, it might be interesting to get some idea just what that was all about." Tran lifted her head and ans- wered absently out of the uplift of that newly discovered sense of power, "He thought he was dying. I told him it was goipg tobe all right." 4, pont "As-simple--as that; ¢h?" com- mented Dr. Benchley dryly. Tran. did 'not |answer. Instead TAKES OFF GRIME WITHOUT.

Once outside, Tran found that her knees were shaking so help- lessly that she had to cling to the wall as she went along the corri- dor, So that was what Miss Philbin meant when she talked about "giv. ing to the patient." There was another thing about that evening that Tran never knew. A Hard-Headed Surgeon Reclaxes Late that night, Dr, Sargent, coming from the operating room gray with fatigue, halted in the cerridor outside Miss Armstrong's officé at sight of light framed by the transom, knocked, and went inside. Miss Armstrong. her cap slight- ashew, was brooding over a sheaf of reports. At this time of year Miss Armstrong often brooded well into the morning over the reports of her students. "Hm!" grunted - Dr. "And so on--far into the night, 1 suppose. "And this is the hard- boiled lady who sends her girls to bed at 10.30." . "I might say, 'And this is the head-surgeon who rides his sub- ~ordinates for turning up red-cyed for want of sleep, and then piles a midnight charity operation on top of a full schedule'." .; Well, how did it go, Stephen?' : : Miss Arm3trong had been. super- visor of surgical nursing at Saint Vincent's when Stephen Sargent * had been the rawest of young | in- 'ternes, "Ruptured before I could ot, to it," he said, sliding down in his chair and thrusting his hands in- to his pockets, his long legs stretched out before him. "The poor devil had a wife and three ly Sargent. . children, and couldn't make up his" mind to take a chanee till, this ev- ening, the thing hit him like a- "bomb _shell." He took a silver case from his pocket, extracted a cigarette, and lighted it. "You really do "smoke too much, Stephen," Miss Armstrong said as "if from force of habit; but her mind was obviously not on her 1 - would be all I'd need. "What would your guess be?" he countered quizzically, "Well, the general opinion among her seniors segms to he that she is temperamentally un- fitted for nursing." "More ipterne trouble?" he ask- ed, watching a smoke wreath curl to the ceiling without meeting her eyes, "There have been rumors." She eyed him steadily and asked with resignation, "Something new, I suppoge "What else seems to be wrong with the gal?" Dr. Sargent coun- tered. "An overdeveloped sense of hu- > mor for one ting... 'The tongue. in'the-cheek look,' I think you call- ed it. Some of her instructors complain of that. . There seems to be an amazing difference of opin- jon." Miss Philbin, who has her in demonstration, says she has sel- dom seen such concentration and such deft, sure workmanship. . . . Miss Miller, under whose super- visicn she had sometimes worked in the wards, confirms that, but tells me that she is emotionally unstable." A Nurse Should Put "Herself" «In Her Work . "Hm! I doubt if Katherine Miller would recognize an honest émotion if she met it naked in broad daylight," Stephen Sargent said with a sudden flatness of tone that made the director of nursing glance at him sharply. "I shouldi't be so sure of that," she said, a dry smile in her shrewd dark eyes. "Even so, it is pretty we]l known that the unemotional Miss Miller is your first choice for the operating room." "Naturally," he agreed. 'Shé has the quickest eye, the coolest intelligence, the deftest hands of all the nurses I have ever worked with. She'd have made a damned - good surgeon if you ask me. do you know,- Armstrong, I've sometimes wondered, if I were down and out and hurting like the * devil and scared within an inch of my life--the way ge get them ev- ery day--whether a-quick eye, a cool intelligence, and déft hands Katherine Miller might be perfect--the per- . fect nurse, 1 mean, of coutse--if she'd put one more ingredient. in- to her work." Ite broke off abruptly. "Well, I'm still listening," Miss Armstrong prompted. "Herself," he finished. She thoughts perhaps she woud if you were the 'patient, Stephen, my lad. Aloud, she said, "After all, it was poor little Utility we were talking about, wasn't it? . , . Whose chief"Mult seems to be that she puts a devastating amount of herself into everything she does. «+. Well, T believe you had a complaint?" "I didn't know I'd said 'anything about a complaint. But, ». Dr, Sargent added slowly, "I have had something forced upon my atten- tion which I think might interest you. " .
