There is no rea­ son to believe fhat this is a love affair. Doubtless it was a proxy kiss--it rep­ resented the feminine members of his family. Fiction nurses have been of one kind. In the illustrations they were strangely beautiful. Always their hands were cool and their uniforms fresh. Some young millionaire had heen picked up and carried to the hos­ pital where the nurse fought for his life--grim death stalking Just behind the door. His Identity was not known, but he to a man, wide of shoulder and small of girth. He had a flat back and his clnMp-cropped h*!r was to be curly. By and by he became rational.
