INC.! FINAL CHAPTER CHAPTER XII Katherine Miller said tremu- l«usly â€" as if she had been just uy romantic girl in love instead ef the most efticieiit and hard- driving supenisor of nurses at Baint Vincent's, "What makes you lay that? I mean that he â€" how ^io you know?" "Ob, that?" said Tran briskly. 'That's one set of symptoms you lon't have to be a registered nurse to recognize. You'd see it your- lelf if you weren't so scared of ictiug and feeling like a human beinif. . . . Oh, do go along before fon have time to dry otf ! If you :ould only Iceep yourself looking that way^you're so sweet, all bright-eyed and drippy liki that." Without another word Miss Miller amazingly turned and went. ilmost running, down the corri- dor. Tran sat down stiffly on the tdge of a chair. If the worst happened â€" if Ste- phen Sargent were really nevSr to operate again, then she had no- thing left. For the first time she realized how inseparably her en- thusiasm for her work had been bound up in the thought of work- ing with him . '. . . For if her jrouthful visions â€" Tran was only 20 â€" had ever held a mere person- al significance, it had long ago been sublimated in the rest. Finally she got up heavily and wandered out into the corridor. She hardly knew how or why she made her way to the instrument room â€" except that suddenly she wanted very much to cry, and its unfrequented sterility offered an admirable privacy for that pur- pose ... Or perhaps it was the nostalgic memory of that other day â€" was it less than two years ago? â€" when she had stood there, a mere child it seemed to Tran now, yearning over the shiny in- struments in their glass cases. Curled up in a limp little gray heap on a wide window ledge, she was going about the business for which she had come in a thor- oughly workmanlike manner when a door opened, and a man's voice said: "Crood Lordl Hasn't anyone warned you yet that floods don't do surgical instruments any good?" Due To Shock Bob Benchley sauntered across the room and stood, leaning against the wall, his hands in his pockets, grinning down a; her. In her passion of loneliness, Tran was so glad to see him that she sobbed all the more loudly. "I had an idea you'd be letting your hair down somewhere," he went on cheerfully, "You would pick a nice festive little nook like this for it," So he had been hunting foi- her. "I just thought you might like to know" â€" he was lighting a cig- arette as he spoke, frowning down at it, carefully not looking at her â€" "that it isn't so bad as we thought at first â€" about Old Sarge, 1 mean. The paralysis was mostly ilae to shock. The tendons and nerves will be all right. Bar- °"°[1EI1I itkkn ftr« MihfrliM to ' yoQ 11.00 m any <M tma tovftn] of a new Colraiui. It •ttd turoii own ft.

(9327) ring infection, which doesn't seem likely, your god will soon be hurl- ing his thunderbolts at one and all again in his best Jovian form." Tran gasped, "Oh, Bob, are you sure?" "As sure," he said dryly, "as a mere junior surgeon is ever pre- sumed to be about everything. But it may reassure you to know that the Lord High Executioner, him- self, is pretty sure, too. We'd hardly got the bleeding stopped, by the way, before he assumed charge of the ease, himself." Remembering the surgeon in her historic nursig care report on the mythical case of X, Tran gig- gled through her tears, "He wouldn't," she asked, "have been taking his own pulse, would he?" She't Nursing Him "He was leading up to that when Miss Miller came in. She soon put a stop to that. There's never any question about who's in charge of a case when the per- fect nurse steps into the room," "So she's nursing him, then?" "Very much so , , , , And it may interest you to know that she asked for you as her relief," "Well," Tran said cryptically, "she ce^-tainly v.-ouldn't want me around if things hadn't gone off according to schedule," Ke stared at her as if trying to find in her tear-stained face the answer to a question that was troubling him, "That depends on w'nat you call 'acooiding to schedule'," he said at last, "When I opened the door a few minutes ago, the perfect nurse was weening into her pa- tient's pillow, while he patted her !-houlder with his good hand, and looked â€" well, respect for the red: blooded man-eater old Sarge used to be makes me hate to use the only term that aptly describes the way he was looking ... I don't know what the discipline of this hospital's coming to," "Wei!, we've still got you to uphold the good old traditions," Tran observed wickedly. Then, at thought of Stephen Sargent patting' Katherine Miller's shoulder while she wept into his pillow, her own loneliness swept over her in an engulfing tidal v.-a> e, and she sobbed anew. Imitating an Icicle Young Dr, Beuchley tJ.^k his Lands out of his pockets; then, as if alarmed by his own impulse, thurst them hastily back again, "Gosh, kid, I'm sorry I" he said after a moment, "I'd been think- ing all this time that you were just off me because my frivolous companionship interfered with the serii'us business of life, I didn't know it was because you â€" were in l>>vc with him." "But I'm not," Tran sobbed. "Not in the way you mean. It's just â€" oh, he's so swell, and I'm so darned glad he's all r'tght. I couldn't bear it â€" about his arm. I mean.'' "Well," Bob said, "two shocks like this in one day was almost too much for me. First 1 find the ideal nurse weeping into a pati- ent's pillow; and then I find her most ardent admirer and imitator dissolved in tears because â€" she says â€" she's happy, "I â€" " "Who?" Tran sat up abruptly. "Me? Imitate her?'* "Well, who has been your in- spiration then? Why, it was get- ting so you even locked and talked like her'," Tran stared . , , So that v.-as the way, she had been scorning to Bob â€" like Katherinc Miller â€" the per- fect icicle. "Honestly, Agility," he was go- ing on. "it restores my confidence in the balance of the universe to find out that you have an honest cry left in your system â€" even if it i? all for another man," lie was grinning now â€" that old whimsical grin that made the homeliness of his lean dark face flash into boyish charm; but there was a wistful twiet to the grin that upsied at Tran's heart-strings. Sitddenly she was remembering the magic of these early stolen minutes of theirs â€" rocking togeth- er in smothered laughter that day in here before the insti'ument cases ; dancing in the deserted service room of G-6 one intoxicat- ing spring morning to the music of hurdy-gurdy outside; the puffs snatched from his eigaret behind protecting screens; his little finger crooked momentarily through hers as they met by chance in a quiet corridor â€" that day in the steam of the sterilizing room when he had practically ordered her to marry him. Starting Over Again What a blind little idiot she had been all these months! . . . Why, all those high-handed things she had said to Miss Miller â€" if Bob were right, she ought to havj been saying to herself, . , . Well it's a wise woman who knows en- ough to take her own good advice, she thought, "Of course, I got off with the wrong foot," he was going on with his funny, twisted grin, "I should have played Old Sarge's system. and put you in your place with a few verbal brickbats in the begin- ning. But no â€" I had to lead with my chin, . . , Well, I could cut off both my arms, and not a tear out of anyone," "Bob," Tran said in a small frightened voice, "I â€" you don't suppose we could pretend we were beginning all over â€" do you? . . . Way back at that first day in Em- ergency, I mean , , . When you asked for a 'probe' â€" remember? And I thought you meant a proba- tioner: I said â€" " she sobbed â€" â€" "'Would I do? I'm one â€" a pro- bationer, I mean'," "And I said â€" although maybe you didn't hear it â€" 'You bet you'll do,' . . , Honey, I'd like awfully to kiss you if I could only find a dry spot," And as they clung together, laughing â€" partly to mask their desperate seriousness, and partly because it was spring and they were young â€" this time, mercifully, no one opened the door.

Coming Next Week! Sandal Is Oldest Form Of Footgear Dates From Ancient Times â€" But Roman Occupation of England Brought With It New Fashions Ir Footwear The most ancient form ot (oot- coveriug is the sandal, writes Beat- rice R. Coole. in the British Wo- men's Magazine, but sani^als have never beeu particularly well suited to the cold northern climate ot Britain. The women of early Bri- tain soon deserted t',ie primitive sandal (or the more practical shoe made of leather. The type o' shoe worn in earliest times was made ot hide, with or without the skin, and of the simplest design. The sole and the uppers were made all in one piece; the shoe was pull- ed over the foot and drawn up round the ankle like a purse. Shoes of this kind were practical and were appropriate with the simple gowns that women wore iu those days. At the time of the occupation ot England by the Romans, with their higher standard ot civilization, some ot the fashions worn by Ro- man matrons were soon introduc- ed i:ito England. Dress underwent little change, but often shoos of an elaborate type were worn. The Ro- mans themselves had always been fond of costly shoe«, anil their tastes remained tuichanged w'.irra they c.ime ;j Engiand. Wore Them Gaily Colored .•\nglo-Saxon ladies favored sim- ple footwear Their shoes were made of soft leather, close-fitting and naturally shaped to the foot, IHuslralions of footwea; of this period are rare, and for the cen- turies folIowii:s the best vvldeuce of what was actually worn comes from tombs and old churc'j brasses. Women's shoes appear to have been usually black. But in the Bay- eux Tapestry men are shown wear- ing colored shoes â€" red- olue, green and yellow- s.j It is prob- able that .Norman !adie.s followed their husbands' lead and wore gaily-colored shoes. Certainly, when men in the twelfth century took to ornamenting their shoes with embroidery and even with Jewels, their wives s.x»n fallowed suit. T A L K S Bv SADIE B.

Do you have trouble providing a varied and interest- ing menu? Do your cakes fall? Then write, enclosing a stamp- ed, self-addressed envelope to Mi.ss Sadie B, Chambers, care of this paper, and .she will endea- vour to solve your problems. -Most human beings rear up and walk on their hind legs before their first year of life is out, but, according to beauty experts, that doesa': mean that they know how to walk. The most satisfactory practice for attaining a smooth walk is to follow a straight line, allowing the legs to swing freely in their sock- ets. Straighten each knee as the (00: touches the ground, and, if possible, try to point the toes straight ahead. Follow A Straight Line If, through misguided childhocii years, the toes have persistently pointed outward, a good way to conceal this defect is to bring the heel of each advancing foot direct- ly in front of the other foot. Following a straight line will be taxing at first, but it can be made second nature by practice while you are shopping, by trying to fol- low paving lines on the sidewalk. When mounting stairs, avoid pulling upward from the knees. Spring fro:n the oalls of the feet. New People It really does our family good â€" This moving!
