Married Life Fourth Year

By MABEL HERBERT URNER. The long corridor, the mingled odor of ether and antiseptics, the uniformed nurses, the air of hushed expectancy it was all a part of the hospital atmosphere. "I should like to see Mr. CurtisMr. Robert Curtis," murmured Helen In a subdued tone to the nurse who approached her. "Will you wait for a few moments? Mr. Curtis's sister is with him now. The doctor wishes him to have only one visitor at a time." Just then the door down the corridor opened, and Carrie came out. She greeted Helen stiffly, and the nurse hurried off, leaving them together. "Don't let him talk, it will only excite him. And I wouldn't stay too long," admonished Carrie, with the superior air that always nettled Helen. The doctor came by now, and Carrie approached him. But he was gravely non-committal, for he was only a young Interne, and the eminent Doctor Elliott was in charge of the case. Leaving Carrie talking to him, Helen followed the nurse, who now came to show her into Bob's room. It was the typical hospital room, depressingly sanitary and bare. Bob lay with his back to the door and did not see her until she went around to the other side of the bed. "Hello, Helen," with a faint motion , as though to stretch out his hand. "I am in rotten luck." THE PATIENT. "You must not talk," soothingly. ' "They want you to be very quiet." "Oh, they dqn't want me to breathe. Why don't they dose me up and get out. of here. All they do is to jab a thermometer down my throat."

"But Bob, you are sick very, very

sick." "Well scribbling my temperature on

that chart up there isn't going to make

me any better. And that night nurse"

But even the exertion of talking was too much, and now he lay with closed . eyes and labored breathing. Helen

smoothed the already smooth covers

i and watched him anxiously. How

gaunt and changed he was, and his

hand was burning hot.

She knew that he had been partly unconscious during the night. Dr.

Elliott had told Warren that this

morning. And now, as she waited, she could see that he was dozing off. He still held her hand, and she did . not withdraw It for fear of arousing

him.

! In the oppressive silence of the

room, Helen could hear the faint tick

. ing of his watch as it lay on the table beside the bed. Even the noises from

the street seemed curiously subdued

and far away.

At length Bob stirred and glanced up at her. She leaned forward now,

determined to ask the question that had been beating in her Jpind ever

since she had known he was so ser iously ill.

"Bob, do you want Louise to know

plainly showed. his anxiety. He had

not been to the hospital since mornin, but he was going after dinner.' "Father. is there now, just had him on the wire. He will stay until I come. - Tell Nora to put dinner on right away. Don't want much anyway." In less than half an hour he had gulped down a hasty dinner, and was on his way to the hospital. BAD NEWS. For Helen it was a long, lonely evening of anxious brooding. Warren had said he would be back by nine.

but it was after ten before he came. "He is worse," briefly, as Helen met him in the hall. "Temperature 104. Unconscious part of the time." "Unconscious?" "They, sent for Dr. Elliott, that Is why I waited. He says there Is no danger tonight but that is all he would say." Helen had only once before seen Warren deeply affected, and now she stood silently helplessly by while, he walked up and down, his hands clasped behind him. "Dear," she ventured at length, "don't you think we ought to wire Louise?" "What for?" savagely. "She is nothing to him now." "Bnt don't you think she ought to know?" "No I don't!" he almost shouted. "But dear, maybe maybe she could do more for him than the doctors or any one else." At this suggestion Warren fairly snorted. Helen said no more, but his report that Bob was unconscious had decided her. She would take the risk she would wire Louise! It was almost eleven how could she get the message off tonight? There was a telegraph office only a few blocks away, but if she sent for a messenger, Warren would know when he came. At last she thought out a plan. She would wait until Warren was taking his bath and could not hear her

then she would phone the massage. She had never sent a telegram by telephone, but she knew It could be done. . ' . THE TELEGRAM. It was almost twelve before Warren finally went In to his bath. As soon as she heard the water running, Helen ran to the phone and in a low. voice called up the telegraph office. "I wish to send a message to Palm Beach. How can I prepay it?" "That is all right. It's charged on your telephone bill." Then Helen read slowly the message she had written out. "Louise Whitmore, Hotel Royal, Poinciana, Palm Beach, Florida: "Bob is very ill. Unconscious. Doctor admits condition is serious. Thought I ought to let you know. No one knows I am wiring. "Helen"." The "operator read it back for accuracy. "What time will that be delivered?" she asked. "Then you don't want It sent as a night letter?" "Oh, no, no! I want it delivered at once! How long will it take?" "It should be there in two hours three at the most." In two or three hours! By three o'clock Louise would know. Wliat would she do?" Would she take the the first train for New York? If she did would her coming help Bob, or might she be bad for him? Might he even refuse to see her?" Helen spent a sleepless night, anguishing over every possible outcome of her telegram. Yet even her intense anxiety could

not wholly submerge her innate love of the dramatic, and there was a thrilling undercurrent of expectancy for the emotional possibilities of the situation that Louise's return would precipitate.

you are ill? Shall I write her?"

For a moment he did not answer. ';What difference will it make to her?" bitterly. "That is an evasion. I want to write

but not without your consent. Just !

say that I may that you will not be angry." Helen's heart beat fast as she waited for his answer. She could not see his face. He had turned it from her. Then the door opened and the nurse entered. At a glance she saw Bob's labored breathing, and turned to Helen with a whispered: "I am afraid that you had better not stay any longer." Helen rose reluctlantly. She lingered by the bed a moment, hoping Bob would speak to her. But as he did not, she tip-toed out and waited in the corridor. THE WOMEN'S WARD. "What are you giving him for nourishment?" she asked, when the nurse came out, a decided frown under her stiff cap. "Principally albumen water. He can not take milk." "Albumen water?" questioned Helen. "The white of an egg and a little lemon." The nurse hasitated, and then added coldly, "Doctor Elliott will be

here at 5, and I hope he will leave an order for fewer visitors while his temperature is so high. You can Bee yourself how they excite him." Knowing Bob, Helen wondered if the fact of visitors being excluded would not excite him more. She had always had a dread of hospitals, and now she wished that he could have less scientific and more human treatment. This nurse was undoubtedly capable, but she was cold and austere. As Helen was leaving, in the confusion of corridor, she took the wrong turn and found herself before the entrance of a free ward. It was a woman's ward, a long room with rows of narrow white beds. Almost every bed was taken, and Helen's heart ached as she saw the faces on the pillows, patient faces, querulous faces, but all of them pale, haggard and lined with suffering. The nurse directed her back to the private ward elevator, which took her down to the main hall. Outside the sunlight seemed strange after the gloomy depressing atmosphere of the hospital. For the rest of the day, Helen was in the throes of indecision. From the first of Bob's illness she had felt she should" write Louise. Yet if for all
