The Big Sister Speaks Out

Dr. Wayne Thinks Neddie May Have a Fighting Chance to Save His Life.

By Lillian Lane. ELL me. quick, Mollle. Wbat did Dr. Wayne say about Neddie boy? I could hardly wait on my customers I was just wondering and wondering all afternoon what was going on up hero." "He said there . was a chane an even chance, , dear. But Neddie is net strong enough to stand a severe operation, and, all the weeks afterward when he would be' strapped - to a board with cruel weights fastened to his ankles for hours every day. "If he were stronger the chance would be a good one. As it is there la only a hope." "And . the cleverest surgeon in New York was cruel enough to tell you that? Oh,' I think that is brutal, brutal. He didn't .encourage ' the lovely new hope that: was making you so happy? - He didn't interest himself in Neddie because we're poor. He ought to try!" "Quiet, little sister. Don't sob and rave about so or Neddie will hear you. He is sleeping now. The examination tired him out dreadfully. . . . Ned would have a chanoe if we could afford to send him to the moutains for all of the Fall and have a nurse go with blm and feed him up on eggs and custards and tender chickens and fine roast beef and all the nourishing and delicious things he has never tasted. "If his blood got richer and be didn't hear the noises there are always about here if a fairy gave him all the things we can't provide there would be just a chanoe." A Little Money Saved. "Oh, Mollie. how ghastly! It wasn't so bad when we just thought the whole thing was hopeless and accepted it at that; but now that we know! Oh, I feel like an anarchist or a socialist or something desperate. We will just have to get that money." "Listen, dear. We have a hundred dollars tn the bank our Rainy Day Fund. It won't be a drop in the bucket. I think the Doctor imagines Mr. Porter is financing this. For when I tusked him what it would cost, he said a couple of thousaid would see us through. He might as well have said millions!" "What did you tell him? Did you say that he was telling you to get the moon and the stars far Neddie when he talked about mountains and nurses and jellies and squabs?" "No 1 couldn't throw it all away like that. I said I'd let him know. - I thought we might be able to think out a way." "What way is there, Mollle? Even if the operation did not cost a oent we couldn't afford the extras." "Sue I think we will have to aak the doctor to help us or to let Mr. Porter do it. He is in town again. He telephoned and said he'd like to MUNITIONS VESSEL HURRIES INTO PORT BOSTON, Jan. 12.

come out to-night aad have news of Neddie. I didn't want to let blm come, but he insisted. He will be here at 8. Oh. little sister. I think we mast borrow the money from blm the money to buy Neddie his chance." A New Viewpoint. "Mollle! This is just contrary to everything you have ever taught me. You are saying we must put ourselves under a deep obligation to a man. we hardly, know', and accept money and services from him and a strange doctor. What will they - think of us? What sort of girls will they imagine us to be? How can girls put themselves so deeply in debt to men and especially men of power and position like ' these two? What will they want in return?" 1 think they will want the satisfaction of seeing Neddie walk about again and knowing they gave him back his right of health and happiness." . . "Mollle! Do you believe they are such noble' and disinterested men? Why, neither of them is Abrahajn Lincoln or Nathan Hale. They are just ordinary men, and we are two girls, alone In the world and not ill-looking." "But. pretty evil-minded, Sue. I ' think big men will always be ready to help the poor and suffering they just have to be made to see the need of it. New these two .men have seen Neddie, I'm going to put the case plainly to them. If they want to give Neddie his chance, we have no right to cheat htm of It." "And I don't see how we dare tnt ourselves In a false position to give Ned a bare chance." , "Little Kitten, we have to gamble a bit. I believe in the decency of human nature. I think that when girls are fine and clean, men know it. I believe that we ran so conduct emroelves that our debt will never be a burden. "If we are strong enough and generous enough, we can accept this great bolp. We ought to take this risk for Neddie.' Our own dignity will carry us through. Charity, favors, a heavy debt do they count more with you than the chance to straighten Neddie's crooked spine? Because If they do I'll take my chances alone. I'm going to borrow two thousand dollars from Mr. Porter if we need that much." "Mollie together we don't earn that In a year!" "But an accident insurance company values a pair of legs higher than that. Kitten. Straight legs and a healthy spine for Neddie. Are you with me or against me tn the light to buy them?" "I'm with you Big Sister but I hope the price Isn't too high." "The price is a big obligation and the courajre to work and t off. Baby. We will do it for Neddie. ....And 1 think Uol win lei walk again for us." To be oMtlaaed.
