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 wes something else again. Yesterday: Tran blunders into the emergency operating room on her first day in the hospiltal and is ordered out. Very shortly sh: is to need the benefit of prayer!

For, although noth- ing ~was further from her ethical code than to eavesdrop, she had 'heard. . . . Her resentment was entirely directed toward the home. ly," dark young interne who had snickered. As for Top Sarge, of course, no cne would have thought of questioning his right to be caus- tie, any more than if it-had been a law of nature. He was "Top Carge." Nevertheless that "feath- er-brain" did rankle. Oh, well; all 'she had wanted anyhow was to pick up a little useful surgical information; and "al least she did know now that the chances against, any one's wanting a student nurse when he asked for a "probe" ran into astronomical figures. : > Looking For The Others She had a good deal of difficul- ty in finding the rest of the de- monstration group, because no one had considered it worth while to tell hed beforehand just where they were going, or why. . It began to occur to her that by this time Miss Miller, the senior nurse in charge of the group, just might have missed her. And Miss Miller had an unpleasantly direct . way of asking.quéstions. In the end, it way the homely young interne from Emergency who set her feet in the right path. He came dashing around a corner. just as she hastily shut the deor. | to a. private réom whick she had opened: by 'mistake. C3 There had been a .rather un-' pleasant moment just after she had opened that door. The pati- ent, a florid blond lady, had. sat up in bed and demanded in a shrill, lyric soprano, "For God's sdke---is this a private room; or a subway station? All I want is a ' » little peace. Heaven knows I'm paying enough for it." "The nurse in charge rustled has- tily toward Tran, frowning and whispering, *'Sh-sh!" And Tran again took to her heels. So it was that as young Dr. Benchley hurried around the cor- ner she ran directly into his arms. "Well!" he gasped. "If it isn't our little Utility again! But say-- whoever named you missed a bet. He should have made it 'Agility.' . . . For Pete's sake, kid, this is a hospital 'not a race track. You had better get back where you be- long." Nevertheless he steadied her, grinning companionably down at her till she got her breath . . . His grin somewhat mitigated her resentment. It transformed his dérk face from an interesting ugli- ness to a flashing charm. . | _ As a matter of fact, she found 'herself suddenly liking him so. much that she utterly failed to no- tice that he was still supporting * her; and although she - took her . cheeks firmly between her teeth, "her eyes became starry wells. of mischief. : "How about yourself?" she manded. "After all, this Emergency either, is it?" . "Dr. Sargent," he said, with dig- nity, "got so much interested in fishing for that bullet himself that * he sent me out to take a telephone call for "him." "Just a couple of-crrand boys, aren't we?" Tran said. She owed him that snickering. oF He acknowledged the 'thrust with a crooked grin. Then, as an elevator whirred in the shaft be- hind them, he released her hast- ° ily, and thrust his hands into his pockets as if to keep them out of "temptation. . ~~ Co "Say, listen, Agility," he admon- ished in. a 'lowered tone, "don't let old Sarge get you 'down. He's a good egg really; but with half the females in this hospital making passes at"him, you can't blame him for getfinig a little scratchy when he finds a new ' one breathing down hig neck." +> "Really?" Tran said with deli- "cate venom. "Well, I can't imag- ine any one pursuing him from * personal motites--unless -she was looking for a chance to put poison in his coup." = "You wait. In no time at all, you'll be swooning with adoration "when he passes; like all the rest of them," said Dr. Benchley, grin- de- isn't one for ~~ New Trophies For Banff Golf Week One of the tio new trophies to be awarded at this year's Banff Golf Trophy, above, on a tall marble column, the who base, It is up for com etlt will bo decided in match play, ser!

Then as a doorvopened down the corridor, he said-swiftly, "Listen, Agility, if Miller misses you and sends out a search party, you might as well turn in your apron. _... For your information, 1 just passed her little efleock going into: "-G oo If Miller asks embar- rassing questions," he called soft- ly.as she turned away, "the old one about having a nose bleed may' work." Miss Miller's Class Tran sped off dewn the cotri- dor. - x z K-6 was the Women's Surgical ward, : By good luck the door stood open. Tran slid in like a slim gray wwraith and joined the little group of aproned girls following Miss Miller's crisp white linen down the long room. . Miss Miller might have modelgd for a Red Cross poster as the ideal nurse. She was erect and trim, blond and coolly lovely as a snow maiden, with quietly watchful blue eyes, slim, beautiful white hands, and an air of serene detachment which had won for her the nick- name "the icicle," | .. Miss Miller was not a regular nursing instruc- tor; but ds a nurse, she was recog- nized as tops. Rumor had it that che 'was Dr. Stephen Sargent's favorite nurse -- a rumor, Tran knew, which gave her enormous "prestige thorughout the hospital. .* Now, "the icicle's" cool, quiet voice was explaining the organiza- tion and management of the long white ward through which they were passing; her graceful, beau- tifully groomed hands were point- ing out the arrangements of the beds in their-gmall curtaihed cubi- { cles, the proper adjustment of lights for the comfort of the pa- 'tients, the correct grouping of ar- ticles on the bedside tables, and other kindred matters which she called "the : elementary ground- 'work of good nursing." Meantime, on either side of the = long aisle, the ward" nurses--rsome graduates in. their trim white uni- forms, caps and white shoes, and a sprinkling of student nurses in gray striped dresses and white attention as Mill Miller passed. That was beeause here Miss Miller was supervisor, and consequently senior nurse. It was all rather like a military inspection. Tran, found herself feeling absurdly small and insig- and circumstance--and more than a little uneasy, even while she managed her most convin ings ex- pression of grave, respectful at- téntion . . . Had Miller missed her? i Summons Frém Higher Up She was not long left in doubt. When it was over, and Miss Miller had marched her, double line of gray-clad girls back to their quar- ters, she summoned Tran with a clination of her smooth . blond head. The rest filed away with carefully restrained glances of cu- riosity and pity which were by no means lost. upon Tran. . . . She had been seen then. "The icicle" began crisply, "Now it's no use wasting my time 'with the one about stopping to tie your shoelace and getting - lost. No," she went on as Tran half -opened her lips, "nor the bromide about having had the nose bleed, either. They both grew whiskers years ago . . . Besides, I'm not even going to ask you where you have been. Because I know.' 4I'm 'sorry--" Tran began. hand for silence. . "I should prefer," she went on, - fito let the matter rest between us. . After all, it's no credit to me to have girls in my charge openly defiant of discipline. But unfor- tunately I am not the only one" wht saw you follow Dr. Sargent into Emergency .. .-I'®m not even' asking you why you did it. You can explain 'that to the Director of Nursing. I have repeatedly.no- ticed in your attitude a tendency to frivolity which has no place in the nursing profession." . . . Miss Miller was one of Tran's superiors who had frequently found those . uncontrollably dancing eyes' of hers vaguely disconcefting, . , . "I might warn you," she went on, "that you will not find anything _in_Miss_Armstrong's displeasure that you can laugh off." ¥ It was just after Tran had fin- jshed dissecting a particularly juicy and loathsome frog in the zoology laboratory next day and rad gone to her room to clean up that the summons from Miss Arm: strong came. ; =r (To Be Continued) Twice Married at 16 ~A-girl had three different sur- names in one hour in Columbus, Ohio, Grace McCord, aged 16, entered the county courthouse.
