Doctor Lan- caster is performing a difficult operation, for which he has won fame Joan, with other nurses, is in attendance. She is upset, through no fault of her own, and makes a trivial blunder at a crit- fecal moment, The patient dies and Doctor Lancaster accuses her of clumsiness. She is sus- pended, the action meaning the end of her hope of a career as a nurse, Without relatives or friends, and desperate, Joan, urged by her landlady, g« to Doctor Lancaster's office to ask him to overlook her blunder and her She overhears a tercation Doc -* ter and other she see.

We have covered that point In our conversation already.” Then, seeing his distress, she went on rapidly: “Listen to me, Doctor Lancaster. You brought me here upon an: impulse, because you had no one whom you could trust. You wanted to fight and you wanted me to fight with you. Well, 1 am going to do it, and we are going to win.” She took out her watch and laid It on the table. “In twenty-five minutes you shall have half a dose, Then we shall have won the first skirmish, ©, Doe tor Lancaster, fight like a man and “lp us win!” She spoke with go much earnestness that she kindled his enthusiasm. “Yes, we'll make the fight!” he eried, with blazing eyes. “If only I had had you long ago!” He was in the full reaction from his despondency.

He has got to have his morphine: you can't stop a man abruptly like that. Mr. Myers understands him" “Mr. Myers can come In in fifteen minutes,” sald Joan All the while she spoke she had never taken her eyes from Lancaster's face. Lancaster was suffering acutely. The sweat streamed down his face, and he was looking at her with the eyes of a suffering animal Yet it was not until the wate! hand was on the hour that Joan took the bottle from the desk. “The whole bottle Is a normal dose,” sald Lancaster, through his teeth, Joan drew one-fourth into the sy- ringe. “You must give me all, Miss Went- worth. That little quantity is useless.” He was lying about the strength of the dose, and he knew that Joun knew, She did not answer him. He extended his #airm, and she plunged the needle into the wrist. Then she corked the bottle and she put it into the pocket of her uniform, having previously added the small quantity in the bottle upon the table, The hammering at the door had be- gun again. But the gir! walted until the spasms of pain disappeared from Lancaster's face. He rose, “Miss Wentworth!" he began grate fully. Then, catching sight of her bruised wrists, he took her hands in his, “Did 1 do that?" he cried. “Not you.
