It was the sight of the city's power, which stayed in his mind afber the surgeon's first words, as if tha vendict had been presiure upon a high-powered camera of thought which registered the un- familiar scene with unforgetable clarity while a hammer in his brain kept thudding repetition of Dr Kar- o's pronouncement. ('Less than a year to live--unless you chtinge every- thing, your way of living, your atti- tude toward life." "You mean," he asked him, measur- ing his words as he struggled through ths shadows which seemed to have come suddenly into the high room of the great hospital, "that I'll have to it West?" rily." The doctor, gray, by, the cares of a little stoofe y humanity rather than by his own years, frowned in the tension of his thought.

She ran a practical glance over the record card the doctof gave her. "Should he be kept in bed?" she asked. "] won't stay," Blair dedlared, re- senting their professional exclusion of his own wishes. S "If he will not do that," Dr. Karol said, "you will undertake to keep him from excitement." He held out his hand to Blair, and Agnes Wells erased bo the door. "She will help you if you will let her," the doctor said. 3 the hall outside the girl turned to Blair, and he saw that, for all her seriousness of manner, her eyes were friendiily bright: "Do you want to take me with you," she asked him, "or shall I follow you?" "1 think ycu shouldn't come," he told her, "I live alone. I haven't even a maiden aunt to send for." "Oh, you're not to think about me," she to'd him, and again he felt a shock of surprise at professional dis- regard of the social rules which most of the women of his acquaintanceship acknowledged and transgressed. Here were men and women who thrust the! rules aside not for pleasure but for the business of saving life. What sort of 'a code did they have in its place, he wondered. . "My car's oubside," he told: her. "Shall I wait for you?" "Ill be down in ten minutes," she promised. v As he passed Tracey's at the turn of the boulevard he saw Vale and Penfield, and had a swift thought of joining them; but the knowledge that he might have to explain Agnes Wells to them deterred him. "Where do you want to eat?" he asked her. "You see, I live alone, and I have to go out for my meals." "I'll get dinner," che told him. "You're on a diet, anthow, and it's my job to fix your food for you." "Oh, I say," he protesbed, "there won't be anything in." "Have you a stove?"

She refused his invitation to go into a gay country club, however, declar- ing that he had endured enough ex- citement for one day and taking the reins of authority in her hands. He grimaced acceptance of her order and turned homeward with a regret which sharpened to acute annoyance as they entered. his apartment and heand the insistent jangling of the telephone bell. He knew it was a call from Amie, but he took it grudgingly. Her voice sounded harsh to him after the exquisite modulation of the other girl's. "Where -on-earth-have you been?"
