SERIAL STORY
F BRIGHTNESS GONE.
BY HOLLY WATTERSON
THE STORY: Martin Corby,
selfishly ambitious medical stu-
dent, is engaged to a student
nurse, Candace Bech, step•cousin
a his roommate, Peter Frazier.
Peter is also in love with Can-.
dace, though she is not aware of
it. Nor does either of them know
that Martin is seeing more and
more of Faith Hartshorne, daugh-
ter of the wealthy board chair-
man of Good Samaritan' Hospital,
where both Martin and Peter hope
to receive interne appointments.

WIDENING RIFT
CHAPTER XIII
As the end of the term neared
and things crowded up they man-
aged, Candace and Martin, fewer
and fewer times together. There
were not many broken engage-
ments, Martin seemed able, usu-
ally, to plau ahead.
"This coming week looks pretty
foul," he would say, "I don't think
P11 be able to see you." But even
so, an occasional last-minute dis-
appointment couldn't be avoided,
apparently.
Candace was determined not to
mind. She would warn herself
Iightfully, "This is only the be-
ginning, gal, only the beginning.
It's a sad life, being a doctor's
wife."
Martin seemed to stand up un-
der it less well. He had periods
of fierce dejectiou, he was moody
and morose. He showed the bad
state of his nerves in various
email ways. Candace thought of
his reaction to the teasing about
the hospital appointments, for'one
thing. Though his marks had el -
ways been good, Peter had been
en honor man all through school
and his were much better. Any

priority in the appointments might
have been expected to fall to him;
yet it had not, Martin's had come
through a full two weeks before
Peter's had.
Peter had said good-naturedly,
"That must have been right
powerful medicine you gave the
Hartshorne pooch, Corby." Mar-
tin said shortly, "I'm getting
pretty tired of that gag." He
looked ugly and Candace had felt
a twinge of shame for hint.
• r e
Peter, too, was studying hard,
yet it did not appear to tell on
him. Candace wondered a little
about that, It was, she supposed,
due to the difference in tempera;
went in the two, Certainly Mar-
tin was mentally as keen, she
thought loyally,, but he was apt
to neglect things and then try to
correct them in sudden periods of
application. Peter, on the other
hand, was conscientiously regular
in his studies and so did not stif-
fer the feeling of guilt that was,
she guessed, one of the causes of
Martin's outbursts.
She caught her thoughts up
short, suffering a sense of guilt.
Because the worst strain under
which Martin labored, she was
sure, was this business of herself.
Everybody warned that long en-
gagements were a strain. She her-
self knew it now. But you
couldn't do anything about falling
in love.
Their worst trouble, she felt,
was in being separated so that
it was a problem even to see each
other. If they could work in the
same hospital at least! Certainly •
occasional glimpses, snatched mo-
ments, would be better than noth-
ing at all,
Though she had said nothing of
it to Martin, she had been trying,
ever since the boys' appointments
were made definite, to obtain a
transfer to Good Samaritan. Good
Samaritan was a fashionable hos-
pital, catering to wealthy patients,
and there was a little more to
getting in there, it appeared, than
simply being a good nurse.
The transfer of a nurse in
training was a rare thing, but
Candace was learning for the first
time the advantages of having had
the right schools, of knowing the
right people, and she was making
shameless use of them all to be
near Martin.
In May,, when she had almost
given up hope, the transfer came
through, to be effective .almost
immediately.
She came away from her inter-
view with Miss Maher—the Duch-
ess, as the girls always referred
to the head—feeling almost giddy
with happiness. She had to make
a deliberate effort to keep from
running and shouting aloud; her
pace along the corridor of the.
nurses' home was almost a run
anyway. She dashed into her
room and slammed the door be-
hind her and leaned against it,
panting.
Evelyn Gates was there, sitting
on her bed and putting buttons
in a fresh uniform. She looked
up curiously. "What's up?"
Candace was glad of Gates. She
had felt she trust burst if she
didn't tell someone. Without
Gates to spill it out to she was
afraid that the temptation to
phone Martin and tell hien imme-
diately might prove too much for
her; and she didn't want to do
that, she wanted to save that
news for his birthday anniversary,
due the next week. It was sheer
good luck that the transfer had
come just now. That would be
her best present to him. Her
marvelous present.
"Gates, it's come through," she
said breathlessly. "The transfer,
I mean."
Gates looked up unsmiling. "I'm
glad. 1 know how much you
wanted It." She didn't know why,
though.
"How mush I wanted it?" Can-
dace repeated happily. "Oh, Gates,
you couldn''t know,"
5
Gates laid the uniform aside
and stretched backward across the
bed, leaning on her elbows so that
her head jutted at an odd angle
between her shoulders. "I'll bet
the Duchess didn't think much of
the idea."
Candace giggled. "She certainly
didn't. She seemed to think it
was kind of dumb to risk having
to repeat maybe six months of
training, She seemed to think it
was a sign of emotional instabil-
ity."
"Well, isn't it kind of dumb?"
Gates questioned. She added sur-
prisingly, "She almost bit it on
the head with that emotion busi-
ness, too."
Candace's smile slowly faded.
"What do you mean, Gates?"
Gates rose from the bed like
a spring uncoiling. Elaborately
casual, she hitched her bathrobe
more securely around her and
walked over to her dresser and
busied herself with brushing her
hair. That way, her own face was
hidden but she could steal glances
at Candace's in the mirror.
"I hope you won't think I've.
been prying, but I can't help see-
..:ing letters that you have on top
.•.your dresser waiting to be mailed.'.
• -I've seen those that you have ad-,
dressed to that doctor all the time.
It's my guess this transfer you
want so badly is connected with
him."
The title "doctor" on the let-
ters addressed to Martin had
started as a joke; but surely with
such a short time to go he had
a right to it, Candace had felt
proudly, and had continued the
practice. She said quietly to
Gates, "Yes?"
n * v,
Gates thought bitterly. I've
done it now, I've certainly stuck
my neck out.... -She said, trying
to hide her dismay under an air
of insolence, -"Hasn't anybody
ever told you that doctors don't
marry nurses? Oh, it happens
once in a while, sure. Do^.tors
are exposed to nurses and every
once in a while a weak one suc-
cumbs. It's sort of an industrial
disease. But the incidence, as
they say of diseases, is not very
high—"
She had no way of knowing
who Martin was, she had taken
it for granted that he was so.me-
one that Candace had met since
going into training. She had hon-
estly felt that no good could come
of it.
She plunged on desperately;
"At least don't ever chase a man.
Any man. If any transferring
has to be done, let him db it.
That way he won't get tired as
quick, and even if he does you
- at least still have your pride—"
Candace thought, shocked, so
that's how it appears to, an out-
sider..... Suppose such an idea
should ever occur to Martin?
Her stony expression frightened'
Gates. She said flippantly, "Well,
come on, chop ire down. I rate
it. But I mean well, honest I do.
My intentions are good."
Candace relaxed. Of course
such an idea would never occur
to Martin.... She was ashamed
of even the momentary doubt.
Gates would never understand
about herself and Martin, nor did
Candace care to explain. She • had
a feeling of distaste that Gates
had ever dared touch the subject
at all. She said gently, "It isn't
the way you think it is, Gates.
It's all right, really."
There was a tap at the door and
a girl poked her head in. "Phone
call for Becht' she said.

A new-born baby seems to be

are practically formed, hidden be-

those baby teeth are the begin-

is evident, therefore, that dental

of birth.
Baby's food should include ele-
ments essential to the building of
strong teeth, such as lime and

elements In large quantitiesand
is therefore virtually indispens-

After infancy, children should
be given a glass of milk at each
meal, which, together with the
milk used in cooking should pro-
vide the child with a quart of

to the child's diet as directed by
