ney’s affairs
CHAPTER XVII— Continued
—1 4 ' -
“I think you ran understand" said
K rather wearily "that If I cared less
Christine U would be easier to later-
fere" After all Christine had known this
or surmised It for weeks But it hurt
like a fresh stab la an old wound It
was K who spoke again after a pause :
“The deadly hard thing of course la
to sit by and see things happening that
one — that one would naturally try to
prevent"
"I don't believe that you have al-
ways been of those who only stynd sad
wait" said Christine "Sometime K
when you know me better and like me
better I want you to tell me about It
will you?"
“There's very little to telL I beld
a trust When I discovered that 1
was unfit to hold that trust any longer
I quit That's alL”
His tone of finality closed the discus-
sion But Christine's eyes were on
him often that evening puzzled rather
sad
They talked of books of music —
Christine played well in a dashing way
K had brought her soft tender Uttle
things and had stood over her until
her noisy touch became gentle She
played for him a Uttle while he sat
back 1a the Mg chair with his hand
acreenhig bts eyes
When at last he rose and picked
up his cap it was nine o'clock
“I've taken your whole evening" be
said remorsefully "Why don't you
tell me I am a nulaaoce and send me
offr
Christine waa still at the piano her
hands on the keys She spoke with-
out looking at him:
"You're never a nuisance K and — "
Something In her tone caught his at-
tention "I forgot to tell you" she went on
"Father has given Palmer five thou-
sand dollars He’s going to buy a
share lu a business”
"That's fine"
"possibly I don’t believe much In
Palmer's business ventures"
Her flat tone still held blm Under-
nentb It he divined strain and reprea-
Ion “I hate to go and leave you alone"
ie said at last from the door "Have
vou nny idea when Palmer w!U le
burtc?"
"Not the slightest K will you come
rere a moment? Stand behind me I
!on't want to see you and I want to
eil you something"
1 le did as she bade him rather put-
tied "Here I era"
"I think Iimi fool for saying this
Vrtiui1 I am spoiling the only chance
have to get any happiness out of life
tut I wns terribly unhappy 1C and
hen you came Into my life and I—
iow 1 listen for your atep In the hall
t cun't be a bji-ocrite any longer K"
When he stood behind her Silent and
tot moving she turned slowly about
ind fnced him He towered there In
ibe little room grave eyes on hers
"It's a long time since I have bnd a
vnumu friend Christine" be Mid so-
’jerly "Your friendship has meant s
good dent In a good many ways I’d
not care to look ahead If It were not
for you I vutue our friendship so
much that I — "
"That you don't want to spoil It"
she ' finished for him "I know you
don't care for me IC not the way I—
But I wanted you to know It doesn't
hurt a good man to know such a
thing And It— Isn't going to stop your
milling here Is It?"
"Of course not" Mid K heartily
"But tomorrow when we ere both
clour-hooded we will talk this over
You nre mistaken about this thing
ISiristlne J am sure of that Things
have not heeu going well and Just be-
cause I am always around and all that
sort of thing you think things that
i-rrn't really so Put ouly a reaction
Oirlstlue"
lie tried to make her smile up at
him But Just then she could not
smile
If site had cried things might have
wen different for everyone for per
haps K would have taken her In his
arms He wee heart-hungry enough
those days for anything And per-
haps too being Intuitive Christine
felt this But she had no mind to
form him Into a situation against his
win
"it Is because you ore good” she
said and held out her hand "Good-
night" Le Moyne took It and bent over and
kissed it lightly There wns In the
kiss all that he could not say of re-
spect of affection and understanding
"Good-night Christine” he said and
went Into the hall and upstairs
The lamp wns not lighted In his
room but the street light glowed
through the windows Once again the
waving fronds of the allanthus tree
flung ghostly shadows on the walls
There was a faint sweet odor of blos-
soms so soon to become rank and
heavy
CHAPTER XVIII
Sidney went Into the operating room
late in the spring as the result of a
conversation between the younger Wil-
son and the Head
“When are you going to put ray
protegee Into the operating room?"
asked Wilson meeting Miss Gregg In
a corridor one bright spring afternoon
"That usually conics In the second
year Doctor Wllso-”
He smiled down at her "That Isn't
a rule la It?”
"Not exactly Miss Tage Is very
young and of course there are other
“I Can't Be a Hypocrite Any Longer
K"
girls who have not yet bad the expe-
rience But If you make the request — ”
"I am going to have some good cases
soon I'll not make a request of
course but If you see fit It would bo
good training for Miss 1'agc”
Miss Gregg went on knowing per-
fectly that at his next operation 1 mo-
tor Wllaou would exK-rt Kidney l'aga
In the operating loom The other doc-
tors wera not ao exIgeuL Khe would
have liked to hove all the staff old and
settled Ilka Doctor O'Hara or the old-
er Wilson These young nioa cume In
and tore things op
Kidney went Into the operating room
that afternoon For her blue uni-
form kerehlef and cap she exchanged
the hideous operating-room gnrb: loog
straight white gown with short sleeves
and mob cap gray-white from many
sterilisations But the ugly costume
seemed to emphasise her beauty as the
habit of a nuo oftea brings out the
placid Mlntllnesa of her face
The relationship between Kidney and
Max had reached that point tbat oc-
curs in all relationships between men
and women: when things must either
go forward or go back but ennuot re-
main as they are The condition had
existed for the last three months It
exasperated the man
As a matter of fact Wilson could not
go ahead The situation with Cariotta
had became tense Irritating He felt
that she stood ready to block any move
be made He would not go back and
be dared not go forward
If Sidney was puzzled she kept It
bravely to herself In her Uttle room
at night with the door carefully
locked she tried to think things out
There were -a few treasures that she
looked over regularly: a dried flower
from the Christmas roses a label that
be had pasted playfully on the back
of her hand one day after the rush of
surgical dressings was over and which
Mid: "R Take once and forever”
Taere was another piece of paper
over which Sidney spent much time
It was a page torn out of an order
hook and It read : "Stgsbee may
have light diet: Rosenfeld massage”
Underneath was written very small:
Tou are tha moat beautiful parson la
tha world
Two reason had prompted Wilson
to request to have Sidney In the oper-
ating room He wanted her with him
and he wanted her to see blm at work :
the age-old Instinct of the mole to have
his woman see him at his best
The deepening and broadening of
Sidney’s character had been very no-
ticeable In the last few months She
had gained In decision without becom-
ing bard had learned to see things as
they are not through the rose mist of
early girlhood and far from being
daunted had developed a philosophy
that had for Its basis God In bts heaven
and all well with the world
But her new theory of acceptance
did not comprehend everything She
was In a state of wild revolt for In-
stance as to Johnny’ Rosenfeld and
more remotely but not less deeply con-
cerned over Grace Irving -
But her revolt was to be for herself
too On the day after her appointment
to the operating room she had her
Juilf-hollday and when after a restlese
night she went to her new station It
was to learn tbat Wilson bad been
called out of the city lu consultation
and would not operate that day
O'Hara would take advantage of the
free afternoon to run in some odds and
'ends of cases
The operating room made gauze that
morning and small packets of tam-
pons: absorbent cotton covered with
sterilized gauze and fastened togeth-
er — twelve by careful count In each
bundle
Miss Grange who had been kind to
Sidney In her probation months taught
her the method
"Used Instead of sponges” she ex-
plained "If you noticed yesterday
they were counted before and after
each operation One of these missing
Is worse than a bank clerk out a dol-
lar at the end of the day Tbere'a no
closing up until it’s found!”
Sidney eyed the small packet before
her anxiously
“What a hideous responsibility!”
she Mid
From that time on she handled the
small gauze sponges almost reverently
The operating room — all glass white
enamel and shining nickel plate— first
frightened then thrilled her It waa
as If having loved a great actor she
now trod the enchanted boards on
which he achieved his triumphs Khe
waa glad thut It was her afternoon off
and that she woald not see some leaser
star — O'Hara to wit— usurping his
place But Max had not sent her any
word That hurt
The operatlug room was a hive of
Industry and tongues kept pace with
fingers Whut news of the world came
In through the great doors was trans-
lated at once luto hospital terms
What the city forgot the hospital re-
membered It took up Ufe where tho
town left It at Its gates and carried
It on or saw It ended aa tha case might
be Ko these young women knew the
ending of ninny stories the beginning
of some but of nono did they know
both tbe first sud lust tho beginning
and tha end
By many small kindnesses Kidney
had made herself popular Aod there
waa more to It than that Sbs never
shirked The other girls had the re-
spect for her of one honest worker
fur another The episode that bad
caused her suspension seemed antirely
forgotten They showed her carefully
what she waa to do and because she
must know ths “shy" of everything
they explained as best they could
It was while she was standing by the
great aU-rlllier tliat she heard through
aa open door part of a conversation
that sent her through tha day with
her world la revolt
The talkera were putting tbe an-
esthetlxlng room In readineaa for the
afternoon Kidney waiting for tbe
time to open the sterilizer was busy for
tbe first Uma In her hurried morning
with her own thoughts Because she
was very human there- was a
little exultation In her mind What
would these girls My' whan they
learned of haw things stood between
her and their aero Not sbauieim
this : tha honest pride of a woman 1A
being chosen from many
The voices were very clear
"'She’r eating her heart out"-
' "Do you think he has really broken
with her?”
"Probably not She knows it’s com-
ing that’s alL” I '
- "Sometimes I have wondered—" i
‘‘So have others : She oughtn’t to
be here of course But among so many
there la bound to be one now and then
whnvrwbo' Isn’t quite — ”
She hesitated at a loss for a word
"Did you — did you ever think over
that trouble with Miss Page about the
medicines? That would have been
easy and like her”
"She hates Miss Page of course but
I hardly think — If that's true It was
nearly murder”
There were two voices a young one
full of soft southern Inflections and an
older voice a trifle hard as from disil-
lusion They were working as they talked
Sidney could hear the clatter of bot-
tles on the tray the scraping of a
moved table
"He was crazy about her last fall"
“Miss Page?” (The younger voice
with a thrill In It)
"Cariotta Of course this is confi-
dential” - "Surely” -
"I mw her with him In bis car ona
evening And on her vacation last
summer — "
The voices dropped to a wldspef
Sidney standing cold and white by tbe
sterilizer put out a band to steady
herself So that was It I No wonder
Cariotta had hated her She was
steady enough In a moment cool and
calm moving about her work with Ice-
cold hands and slightly-narrowed eyes
To a sort of physical nausea was suc-
ceeding anger a blind fury of Injured
pride He had been in love with Car-
iotta and had tired of her Ha was
bringing her his warmed-over emotions
She remembered the bltterneM of her
month’s exile and Its probable cause
Max hud stood by her then Well he
might If he suspected tbe truth
For Just a moment she had an Illumi-
nating flash of Wilson as he really was
selfish and self-indulgent just a trifle
too carefully dressed daring es to eye
and speech with a carefully-calculated
daring frankly pleusore-lovlng She
put her hands over her eyes
The voices In the next room had
risen above their whisper
"Genius has privileges of course”
Mid the older voice "He le a very
great surgeon Tomorroy be Is to do
the Edwardee operation again I am
glad I am to see him do lu”
Sidney still beld her hands over her
eyes He was n great surgeon : In his
hands he held the keys of Ufe and
death And perhaps he had never
carCd for Curlotta: she might have
thrown herself nt him He was a mao
at the tuercy of any scheming woman
She tried to summon his Image to
her aid But a curious thing happened
She could not visualize him Instead
there came clear and distinct a pic-
ture of K Le Moyne In the hall of the
little house reaching one of his long
arms to the chandelier over his bead
and looking up at her as she stood on
the stairs
- CHARTER XIX
"Ilut Sidney I’m asking you to mar-
ry me I”
"I— I know that I am asking you
something else Max”
"I have never been In love with ber”
His voice waa sulky He had drawn
the car close to a bank and thly were
sitting In tbe shade on the grass It
was the Sunday afternoon after Sid-
ney's experience In tbe operating room
"You took ber out Max didn't you?”
"A few times yes Khe seemed to
have no friends I was sorry for her”
"That was all?”
“Absolutely Good heavens you’vs
put me through a catechism In the last
ten minutest”
“If my father were living or even
mother I— one of them would have
done this for me Max I'm sorry I
had to I’ve been very wretched for
several days”
It waa tbe first encouragement the
had given him There was no coquetry
about her aloofness It was only that
her faith In him had hod a shock and
wns slow of reviving
"You nre very very lovely Kidney
I wonder If you have any Idea what
you mean to me?”
"You meant a great deal to me too”
she said fraukly "until a few daya ago
I thought you wera the greatest mao
I bad ever known and tha best And
then — I think I'd better tell you what
I overheard I didn't try to bear It
Just happened that way"
He listened doggedly to her account
of tha hospital goMlp doggedly sad
with a sinking sense of fear not of ths
talk but of Cariotta herself Usually
one might count on the woman’s si-
lence her Instinct for self-protection
But Cariotta was different Hang the
girl anyhow I Bhe bad known from
the start that the affair was a tem-
porary one he bad never pretended
anything else
Thera was silence for a moment af-
ter Kidney finished Then:
Da you think that K ought
te swallow his personal feel Inge
and tell Sidney exactly the truth
about Wilson? Would she think
Mm caddish and hate him If he
tried te do eo?
