| any she hid ever known before, j
I I Sh* shock aside that mood impa-
, Gently. Why shouldn't she be here?
She was a nurse, summoned for
puty. A* soon as she got into that
familiar role, Leltha knew that ev-
erything would seem mote natural.
(.When Lelths accompanied Dr.
Gates to Mason TannahiU'a bedside,
she was shocked at the old man's
jeppearance. All the ruddiness had
disappeared from Ills face, leaving
It a sickly yellowish hue. His breath.
Ing was labored and slow. Even his
large frame seemed shrunken In Ihe
fnassive bed.
“It’s nothing to be slarmed
about! ” Dr. Gates said In his crisp
professional tone. He had greeted
Leltha with a brief nod that merely
acknowledged her presence as a
nurse. “Mr. Tannahill Is subject to
these attacks," he added, lowering
hl9 tone. “Heart. And he refuses
to obey Instructions. Perhaps now,
with a nurse instead of just that
servant of his, he’ll get along bet-,
’ter.” 11
| In spite of what the doctor said, 1
Leltha was amazed; old Mr. Tanna- [
fieedle, she may refuse to remain'
with such an unruly patient.”
j | "We shall get along,” Leltha said,
smiling down Into the old man’s
|face. "I'm staying, at least until,
you esn ride with me, Mr. Tanna-'
, hill. I rode Cinder this morning.’
jibe's such a darling. And I can't
tell you how I enjoyed the ride
and the country. It was Incredibly
penutlful, the loveliest country I’ve
ever seen.” I
I “You felt that?" Mason Tannahill
returned. Ills look held hers, search-^
|ng her face, as on their first meet-
ing. Again he seemed satisfied with
{ivhtt he saw. He settled back Into
pis pillows now, giving a contented
lltlle sigh. “Go ahead," he ordered.!
(’’I’ll be good. I’ll do whatever you
want, so as to keep that engage-
ment with you, my dear. I’ll fool
fou, Gates!” He closed his eyes,:
turning his head a little as Leltha;
prepared to Insert the needle In his
irm.
Dr. Gates gave Leltha her (Inal
hstructions outside the bedroom'
door. "He’s as stubborn as a Geor-|
gia mule, but as fine an old gentle-
man es ever lived.”
"I’m sure he is,” Leltha replied
warmly. “We’ll get elong,” she re-
peated as she had to Mason Tanna-
sill.
The doctor glanced at her sharp-
ly, seeming to appraise her capa-
itlitles, her character. There never
was any warmth in a look from Dr.
Cates; It was one reason the nurses
galled him a “cold fish." But Leltha,
having been on duty when Ms
daughter had been hospitalized, had
seen him in an unprofessional role
jand had decided that he did have a
rhuman" side.
j She seld, “You don't want me to
give a second hypo unless neces-
sary, do you. Doctor?" She did not
mean to question Dr. Oates’ Instruc-
tions, but she did not want to make
any mistakes In the care of the old

Pride, that was It. The ssmo sort
of stubborn pride that would make
Richard W. Haller remain silent un-
less she sent for him. Poor Rich—
he had been ao sure of her, so sura
that she would jump at the chance
to marry him.
Well, the had her pride, too. She
would not tend for Rich. She might
drop him a cool little note In time.
But she would never let him know
ihe was worried as to whether he
would come back or find himself an-
other girl.
Her thoughts were of Rich as she
went to her suite of rooms to change
nto her uniform. She knew he would
oathe this place, make fun of It—
if Its Inhabitants, too.
He would call Mason Tannahill an
lutmoded plutocrat. Although he

ng about herself. Mrs. Upheld

ged widow who behaved like a little

l)at Rich would put him down as an
Her, a parasite, a playboy.
Vhy should she care what Rich
lought? No doubt he was out of
er life for good. She did not under-
land why she kept thinking about

ive with anyone. When she did,
le wanted it to be perfect—the sort
t love her mother had had for her
ither.
Leltha found herself thinking more
ad more about her mother. When
>a had changed into her crisp white
liform, she snapped open the little
cket that she often wore on a slen-
■r chain around her neck. She
oked at the tiny portrait enshrined
Ithln, the only one she had of her ,
other.
Yes, ahe did resemble her moth- '
, not only In coloring but In tha I
dole expression of the face. Only,
course, her mother had been truly
autiful, her smile patient and

[great deal of experience and are

“By the way”—the doctor gave
her another of his sharp looks—’it
seems that Mr. Tannahill already
had you In mind. It seemed a bit
odd to me. Do you happen to know
of any reason?”

“odd” that his uncle should have

Or. Gates. I suppose Mrs. Belmont,

that I had proved satisfactory."

there was a deep line between his
brows.

jlng man, typical of the successful
physician. He was not only head

Leltha had completed her training,
but he was widely known outside.

honor to have Dr. Gates agres to
have you on any of his cases. Ap-
parently, on this one, he had agreed
.to Leltha rather than suggested her.

certain that her patient was resting
