Chicago Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dallies The Easter season is being sincerely observed in this county where our citUenship is made up of the salt of the earth and where we believe tn the teachings that this occasion bring* to mind. Easter Sunday and whether its fair or cloudy, warm or cold, windy or calm, wc hope you shine in the big parade, that you enjoy the church services and the occasion Is all you dreamed it would be. At this season oi the year a half dozen people over the United States draw prise* from the Irish Sweep Stakes, making a fertile field for a lot of grafters who collect millions for supposed chances on races that are never run. Homer Capcheart is going to give another big party, this one in New York and the guests will include a number of the stalwart G. O P. leaders from Indiana Os course he warns something but it's seldom a fellow can "highball' his way to office.

CHAPTER XVII! Chris was null calm the next morning. The nervous tremor had gone from his hands, and he shaved and dressed with unusual care. Katie, in the lower hall, saw hire coming down and inspected hire critically. “What is it? A party?” “You could call it that 1 go on •uty at the hospital today.” 2A nd what might that mean?” "All sorts of things you wouldn't nke. my child. Tww or three operations, for one thing." “And you’re going to do them?” I am indeed.” he told her solemn iy. “Then Heaven help the victams!" she said, and clammed out the front door. But he had other things than Katie to think of that morning. To the eye he might have been any young businessman walking briskly through the bracing winter air on his way to an office somewhere er other. To himself. however, he was taking the first step toward a larger and fuller hfe, a life not only of service but of gratified ambition; • r on * n<l up ' **A:ng some time in Europe, being called in consultation. reading papers before the medical society. bo grandiose had been his thoughts that he was shocked when, a block or so from the hospital, be found bimself with a bad attack of nerves His heart was beating wildly, his hands were damp with sweat. He stopped and steadied himself. seared Feared as a kid. 3 He looked at his hands, which were shaking, and felt that his knees were uncertain under him 'ven slightly nauseated. He lighted a cigarette and went on. but the tobacco sickened hire still more, and at last he threw It away. “A fine surgeon I aml’hethought disgustedly “Siek. Biek to my stomach.

Th* firm operstrn had been scheduled for ten o clock, and it ww. almost that now. He found Wilhams in the hall waiting for him. and they went up together in the elevator. Williams, watching him, wondered if he had any nerves. He had, It seemed, three cases that morning, and Williams launched into explanations as Chris scrubbed up and got into his eoat. Chris listened and nodded It seemed amasing to him now that he had been afraid of this thing ft was his work It was to be his lifework. He drew a deep breath and threw out hi, chest. The operating room was wailing. apotloM and gleaming. It looked like a stage set, with Um nnrsoa scattered here and tbera and Chris ine star actor making hit entrants ror a moment al) movement ceased ? • t . urn^ l l* war 4 h,m Then Miss Clarke, the head nurse, moved forward, quiet and competent. “We’re ready, Doctor, Ind we’re all delighted to have you back."

But he knew, too. that he was tn their liends, as thev were in Ms. They were friendly these internes and nurses, but where outs they had been indulgent, now ♦hey would be watchful and eritiea! It was a closed world, protecting its own. and the staff men did not en- j tirely hefrmr. They came and went, the overlords of thia small world, htti.they belonged outside beyond Ita walls There was thia knowledge , In hia eyes when they met Mia, Clarke a, and she colored faintly un . der his quiuical gate. “ PjA* • k ini * »'*«." h* Mid - “I’ll try sot to throw things, an . tight, Wdltomk" **
