Dee, his son, loves Chickie. Their sister, Edith (Mrs. Dirks Potter), secretly loves Timmy, an actor. Chickie is asked to be a bridesmaid at the wedding of Barbara and Paul Scott. At the rehearsal, Myra King recognises Chickie and tells Edith of her past life. Edith orders Chickie to leave. Lee attempts suicide when Chickie confirms the story. She accepts a position in the office of George Edgeman, where Luis Lamarck. friend of the Wiilmans lias a studio. While Edgeman is away Lamarck teils Chickie that her past means nothing to him. The climax comes when ne insinuates that because of him she is receiving more salary than the work is worth. She tears up her check and leaves.

This very timidly from Jennie. “Oh—it’s wonderful—You see so much —I can only stay a little while —” And she sat down and ate with them and talked with blithest gayety. But finally, because her heart was full of It, she told of Mrs. Quinn and she cried showing them the little brass pin. Not all for Mrs. Quinn were the tears. She said: "Jennie, ole love, I’ve come out to teach you how to make a bed.” And she made Jennie follow her Into her room. She put the two chairs together and, pretending to teach, began to practice again and again Jennie was frightened. “Do you mean to make such a fuss as that over every little thing, Chickie dear?” "Ah—that’s the science of it, mother darling. You don’t sleep right till you crawl between sheets so cornered!” And, finally, she could have made the bed with her eyes closed. Jonathan Insisted on driving her back to the hospital. “Are you happy In this work, Chickie girl?” "Yes—but if I should fall —” "Shucks! A bright girl like you! You've worked before and were a shining light, weren’t you?” “This is different. I’m awfully stupid. Don’t tell It to Jennie—but I am ” Jonathan laughed. "Don’t you believe that, Chickie girl! Just up with your chin, now—” "Oh, my, yes!” She pulled her father's head down and kissed him. ran through the gate, giving Jer name to the keeper. She said io herself, hysterically: “I may be tunning out again, pretty quick!” She slept fitfully—awakened to hear Myrtle complain lazily: "Quit making beds, will you! You give me the nightmare. Quit, jabbering about it!” She made the bed a thousand times that night—she rubbed backs; she touched twisted, blue veins in Mrs. Quinn’s legs, saying softly: "You’re better —I care—Someone does —” From 7 to 9 that next morning she was in the ward. For the first time it seemed a long journey to her from bed to bed with the trays. And this morning when one petulant woman called her half a dozen times to say: "Nurse, the pain is going from my knee to my hip. I wish you’d give me some medicine —” Chickie could have screamed. She thought: “I can’t help it What can Ido about It!” * Because she was so filled ■with apprehension for her own fate. The class with Miss Alberts, came In' the morning. Chickie had made friends with the two girls she had met first coming from the showers. She liked them. She walked Into the class with them, a sense of support In their comradeship. She half expected to be ordered out. At the end of the lecture, Miss Alberta said: "There is a notice on the bulletin board. You are all to read it.” The notices said: "The following preliminaries are to report at 11 o’clock for a second instruction in bed making.” There were but two names— Chiclde’s and Myrtle’*. But every girl read the r.otice and they were all crowded together, making comments. Chickie felt sick with the shame. And she knew that her efforts to laugh it off, to say, magnificently: "Ho—bring on the fool’s cap for us!” was a sorry failure. At 11 o’clock she was there in the ward room. Miss Alberta said: “If you can control your temper today. Miss Bryce—” She said this before Myrtle—"perhaps you’ll be able to learn—” Chickie gave no answer. She stripped and made the bed. She did It perfectly. But she was marked out In the

class as “stupid,” and she was to learn the scalding bitterness of this brand. CHAPTER XL! V The Dane* There might be humiliation and petty shames, but Chickie loved the new life; loved its quick, vivid throb; its touch at the warm breast of things. She wanted passionately to succeed; to shine here. Myrtle said to her: "You and I won’t get by, Bryce, now that Alberta’s got a grudge. They say she keeps them. What’s the use sticking your face In the hpoks? Got a quarter? Let’s go to a movie.” Chickie kept her face in the books. The smart of her first hurt remained. For a week she was in despair, believing that her chances for getting her cap at the end of the four months’ probation were lost. She was stung, too, with remarks that she overheard and some that were quite directly made. Norma Talbot gave her this consolation: “What do you care, Miss Bryce! The pretty girls are always the light weights In the classes. You’ll get by in the wards—” But she soon learned to take reprimand gracefully, just as she learned to stand aside when the senior nurses passed; or to shrug when Myrtle wore her clothes or hung her weekly was., all about the chairs and dressers. For there were plenty of compensations. Each time that Chickie walked arm In arm with Phyllis Stone or Margaret Howard—though It was merely across the street to buy a soda, she had a feeling of almost guilty joy. These girls liked her—they knew nothing of her. Sometimes she felt as light Hearted, as free as in the days when she sauntered down with Janina or Mary. Why—living in this house with some eighty other girls, most of them young like herself, was as though she were grabbed back Into the sweetness, the carefree, monotonous happiness of her earliest girlhood. An 1 she could enter far more readily into the thoughts and the ideals of these two than she could those of Myrtle and Sophie Gates. Phyllis said: "Aren’t the doctors wonderful? They work miracles.” Chickie agreed. Myrtle’s comment filled her with a hot anger. Myrtle said: "These brows give me a pain, the way they pass you by without ever seeing you as though you were an invisible microbe! I’ll bet they’re not above playing on the outside!” Chickie had all of the young nurse’s awe of the visiting doctors. In the very beginning she was amazed at the attention given to the patients. She watched the supervisor going on the ward rounds. It seemed to her that a brightness like a visible magnetism lighted up the space about the beds when the doctors stood there. There w r as one in particular who held her admiration. It was a Dr. Rainm. He was tall, with a sallow face, very strongly cut and quiet but searching eyes. They dwelt kindly on each patient. He seemed to give himself with an utter completeness to his work. And this detached air gave to his expression a note of spirituality that Chickie perceived but didn’t analyze. Once she thought: "If I were a man— I would be like that —” And another time she was coming out of the treatment room as the doctor passed. He said "Pardon me,” very courteously as though she were a graduate. It filled her with excitement. V One day there was a blood transfusion case. Dr. Hamm was the surgeon. The probationers on the ward were allowed tc attend. Chickie and Phyllis were present.

MOTHS HURT SHADE TREES City Forester Recommends Use of Spray. Shade trees of the city are suffering from ravages of the caterpillar, or tussock moth, according to Elbert Moore, city forester, who recommends that the trees be sprayed and bandaged. Moore said that a misconception is held by many property owners who think the park board cares for this work. The owner of the ground must assume the expense of preventing the moths both in his yard and on the sidewalk plot, according to Moore. Ho also must free pedestrians frr the inconveniences of overhanging branches by trimming his trees. The park department has the authority to compel residents to trim trees and remove dead growths. Moore will recommend a number of licensed tree “doctors” but their services must be paid for by the citizens. G. O.P. EDITORS’ PROGRAM GIVEN Summer Outing to Be Held at Michigan City.

After Further Set-Backs Chickie Begins to Progress As a Nurse

They saw the wide glass tube and the sharp point of it inserted into the donor’s vein. The glass turned crimson, then with a quiet and a swiftness entirely magical the filled vessel moved to the recipent, and the blood was transferred to the patient’s veins. Chickie had often dreamed of pouring out her life for someone she loved. It seemed so heroic to offer one’s blood. Now she watched, breathless and moved as though this man working so deftly were one inspired. The whole day she thought of It with a trembling awe. It was about this time that considerable excitement hummed about the nurses’ homo. The seniors were preparing for a Halloween party. With the exception of two or three who would be asked Jto pass sandwiches and act generally as maids, the probationers would not be invited. There was feverish speculation as to the lucky three chosen. "I heard they ask the three who have the highest marks for the month,” Myrtle said at dinner one evening. Usually Chickie, Phylis, Margaret Howard and Norma Talbot sat at one table. Though Myrtle much preferred the company of Sophie Gates she was distinctly jealous of Chlckie’s preference. Whenever a vacant chair was at their table, she took It. She went on: “So that lets us out, Bryce.” Chickie was tired of this classiflcation! She said: "My marks are high. I got 99 in the last test.” Myrtle laughed. "What did you get In bed-making? Zero plus!” Norma added, bittingly: "Well, I heard they pick the pretty ones—so there! You don’t suppose they’re going to let old lady Preston in on the hop if she has perfection in everything, do you?” Old lady Preston was the oldest probationer. She was the mother of three children, a widow and at least 40. Whether it was prettiness or brilliance that won, Chickie was chosen. So was Phyllis. This Phyllis was a slender, very earnest girl about 19. She was dark, with bobbed hair and moist brown eyes. Her people had suffered heavy losses. Phyllis came into training with very few clothes and no money. She had no dress to wear to the dance. At first Chickie wondered whether she should go. Xfce internes would come and many of the visiting doctors. She became very nervous and went to the senior to excuse herself. The senior said: "You are elected to come. Tljat’s all there’s to it. You know how jealous the girls may be. Now don’t stir up anything.” And she asked Jake. He said, teasing, “Am I invited?” "No—” "Os course I am! Think what a feather In your cap." "I haven’t my cap yet, and I may not get It—” ■ "Cap or no cap, Helena dear, I come!” In her heart she was delighted that it turned out like this. She really wanted to go—wanted to keep on pretending that the past had never been —Ho —she was as free as Phyllis—as anyone! So Phyllis took a great hem in one of Chlckie’s dresses. Chickie was as rapt and eager as she had been seven years before when Jennie sewed a gown of blue with little silver flowers wrought in the fabric. She was young and thrilled like that. They decorated the dance hall with black and yellow lanterns, with cats and witches. Chickie and Phyllis made a great many of the sandwiches. They

Fordney, former congressman from Michigan, has accepted the chairmanship of the Michigan campaign for the American Legion endowment fund, it was announced Sunday by National Commander James A.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

were honored to be noticed by the seniors; honored when the seniors came into the little kitchenette and helped themselves greedily before the feast. Chickie wore the dress of black It made her face so white —like a pearly flower. She drew her hair in a soft coll. Nellie Andrews, a senior, said: "For God’s sakes —why did we ask you!” Then she whispered In Chickie’s ear: "Is your handsome friend coming?” “Yes—” “Introduce Nellie or I'll make it hot for you if you ever get In my ward.” Chickie was half frightened to attract so much attention. All the nurses looked at Jake. She knew what their comments would be. And he was quite gloating about it. He whispered: “What did I tell you, Helena! This is jubilant!” She was just introducing Jake to Phyllis when she noticed across the room Miss Alberta. Miss Alberta wore a stiff, brown taffeta dress and slippers with large colonial wings. They were quite out of style. Miss Alberta’s flat, big face was very flushed and excited. She was talking to Dr. Ramm. His head was raised and seemed to be entirely remote from the plain, bulky woman at his side. The Internes which Chickie recognized, but had never met, were taking the seniors for the first dance. The music began. Jake hummed, swept his arm about her —then he gave a low, throaty laugh and reached out his hand with a familiar: "Hello, Dave! How are you?” “Jake! Didn’t expect to see you herel” They stopped, moved to the corner. Chickie’s heart was at least twice its normal size. It was Dr. Ramm that Jake adcosted in this familiar tone. And now he said as though he were talking to any old friend: "Dave —you’ve probably met Miss Bryce, haven’t you?” "Then don’t lose any time about it. She’ll be a better nurse yet than you’re a doctor!”
