Ma • MIA CHAPTER IV. -CONTeNtIRD. Little George hid undergone his seoond operation, and, in his then bedridden condi- tion, was an object for the whole ward to spoil. Katharine would have indulged the suffering baby yet further had not Mr.John- ston interfered constantly from the next bed, claiming her attention. k She had become deeply interested in Ulla gnarled off -shoot, with its ouriously misap- plied strength, and in return he showed her in savage glimpses a rough, blundering heart, over which she was beginning to hope that she might gain influence which would let her help extend beyond the sick bed. But on thie clay she came in to receive a greeting quite as repellant and defiant as her first. Her arms were filled with toys for George'and Johnston stopped her as she passed his bed. . "More stuff for that kid, eh t" be growl- ed, "I've destroyed a mess of things in my day -with myself thrown in for good mea- sure," he added bitterly,-" but I never see a destroyin' angel like that boy. I tried to save them buffeters, and where air they? Not a hair nor a bide of 'em left !" "They amused him while they lasted,and I liked making them for him," said Kath- arine, gently. " I don't know what I should have done here without you and George." Cerberus gulped the sop, but was not ap- peased. Katharine moved on to the child's bed, delivering the toys into his outstretoh- ed hands, then, returning, drew her chair by Johnston's side. What 'is it ?" she asked, gently. " Nothin'." He turned away irritably, but, glancing up at her as he did so, was drawn, in spite of himself, to look again into the sweet, waiting face bending near him. "But you are like her," he said, slowly and reluctantly. "It ain't in tbe eyes ex- actly, yet it's somewhere, round 'em. 'Twos why I put up with you from the firet, yer know-" "Like whom ?" asked Katharine, simply. She knew her man. The answer -came in a low voice, "My wife." "1 did not know you were married." "No, I never meant as you should, nor no one else. Don't you go tell it." he added sharply. "I"n no particular credit to her." "Where is she ?" linked Katharine, gent- ly. "Don't tell me, though, unless you wish." "1 don't mind telling you. She's been down in the country with her father these five yesre." He paused, then went on disconnectedly, more as if to relieve a pent up mind than to ,tell his story. "It's jnet fifteen years to -day since we made it up, down in his spring medder. You never saw vistas anywhere like what growe in that spring medder. Thi e beaten old carcass was the likeliest lad in the place then, and she the prettiest girl. She's pretty yet. She's kept her part in the con - track, poor girl !" "And do you never hear from her ?" "Not since five years, but to -day-" He hesitated long, gazing up JuteKath- arine's face with a dumb, questionfing look which was meant to test her to the limit, and which filled her eyes with tears. He maw these rise, and, in answer, slowly, inch by inch, as he had given hie confidence, he drew from under hie pillow a long box. Shielding it jealously with his coverings from all but themselves he pushed it to- wards her and lifted the lid. "That looks like she thought me all blackguard, don't it ?" he said brokenly." It was only an old corset -box filled to the brim with masses of small purple flowers and moist green leaves, but Katharine bent her face over the cool green and purple bit of the "spring medder in silence. At the call of some floating echo of mem- ory the ward about her was stretching out into the walls of the old hospital, and for her the homely case and the pale meadow - flowers had become a great box of their hot- house eiders. The air was full of the odor of warm royal -purple violets; once more their imprisoned sweetneas was escaping about her, while close beside ber an out- stretched hand entreated, an eager face ask- ed - "I'll give you a handful if you care to have 'em." Johnston was saying, and Kath- arine started and woke. "I care very much," she answered dream- ily. He picteed out a handful of the largest, and watchecieher as she slowly fastened them inlier bosom. \ "They're fadin' now," he said, regret- fully. "Shall I put them in the water for you." He shut the box quickly, thrusting it again under his pillow. "No, they warn% sent to the ward," he said, decidedly; " though I did give you some and the doctor." Katharine turned sharply. "Which doctor ?" she asked, "Dr, Lynah-who else do." I fool with? He ware here when they came. He guessed what he didn't ask. It ain't easy to parry him, and he took some without leave, but he ware welcome, and I reckon he knew it. They're they be on his coat now." Katharine turned to see Dr. Lynah com- ing down the long room. He had not yet seen her, and, with an overmastering desire to escape, she walked abruptly from John- ston's bed, but in so doing brushed close by little George, who stretched out a hand as rapid as that of a monkey, and caught her gown, calling her name aloud. Katharine's chance was gone. Dr. Lynah heard, turned, and then'as so often before, joined her at the child's bedside. But now all seemed to Katharine altered. The vio- lets on her bosom companioning those on his coat burned her. She saw hie eyes rest on them, and then seek hers with a memory and meaning which she read too well. Betty's insinuation, the mocking glove, both scorned in conscious innocence before, seemed verified in that look. She faced him desperately. "1 would give anything to be able to leave here," ehe said in a low voice. " If it were not cruelty to Betty, I would go to- day." "And if it would not be unprofessional ?" answered Dr. Lynah. That ahe had hurried into an imprudence, only to realize her helplessness more fully, did not tend to soothe Katherine's perturb - spirit. She bent suddenly over the child, and as she did so little George looked up into her face with wondering, startled eyes. "You ettm that !" he called out, curling one arm protectingly about Katharine's neck, and threatening Dr. Lynah with his soft, impotent fist. The next moment Dr. Lynah was left alone with an angry, half -crying baby and his own remorseful astonishment. Katharine meantime was hastening to Mrs. Champion's room, her bosom still heaving under the unlucky violets, but her tears dried. She opened the door and walk- ed straight to her friend's bedside. "Betty," he said firmly, "1 want you to tell me just what you meant." The flush of recent tears was still on Katharine's cheeks. Her eyes, which they had washed, were brilliant, but her voice and words were resolute. Betty looked at her for buret out laughing, "1 don't believe I need explain," she said, dryly. Somebody else seems to have been doing that." Katharine, controlling her indignation with an effort, paced the room from one wall to the other in silence.

Prepared only by St ott A Bowne, Belleville. raised herself on her elbow and watched her. , "What is the use in pretending any long- er, Katharine ?" she said. Katharine paused at the foot of the bed. "This is all horribly indelicate," she cried. "1 don't know what you think, but these suggestions humiliate me." "1 think he adores you, that's all," "Ho has talked of me to you ?" "Never. There was no need. I haven't been quite honest, dear. I knew it all by in- stinct from the first." "Then I am indignant with myself and with you, and most of all with Dr. Lynah. I thought I could trust your ignoronce and his delicacy and my own consideration of him to carry this through in silence," Mrs. Champion laughed again. "It is not your consideration he wants. He means to speak." "Then he shall," said Katharine, impati- ently, resuming her walk, "He shall, and receive his answer at any cost and at once. An end shall be put to this struggle." Mrs. Champion's eyes dilated. "Katharine come here," she said. As Katharine approached the bed, Mrs. Cham- pion, taking her two hands, drew her down beside her, looking up into the disturbed yet unconscious face searchingly. "Struggle with whom, dear Kitty -with what ?" she asked gravely. For a moment there was no change in Katharine's expression. Then suddenly a dawning surprise and perplexity came, to be dispelled in turn by a sweeping conscious- ness of something that obliterated all else. She sank on her knees by the bedside, her face hidden in her hands. Mrs. Champion bent over her, half laugh- ing, holf-orying. It is with yourself, dear. Icra are el - ways honest and truthful; why have dis- guises from your own heart?' "Katharine did not move or speak. What rigid eelf-examination, what rending open of the sealed doors of the heart, was here,none knew but herself. When she rose from her knees at last, Mrs. Champion cried out in alarm at her white face. - Katharine reassured her gently. "1 am not ill, Betty. There is nothing wrong. I cannot explain to you, but I do entreat you not to speak of this to me again. It is but the renewal of an old strife, and where I conquered before I can again." Mtn. Champion answered by a flood of tears, and, with the bodily need of her pati- ent, Katharine sank all personality in the nurse. CHAPTER V. Before Mrs. Champion bad fully regained her composure, Mr. Champion came in, and leaving his wife to offer what explauation she would, Katharine went out silently. So soon as she could speak connectedly, Mrs. Champion poured out the whole etory, which was listened to with more gravity than she liked. "You are not _going to say I told you so' are you, James ?' she ended, anxiously. " No ; but, seriously, dear, you are in- truding on Miss Maynadier's confidence in a way that she has a right to resent deeply. It is abusing her kindness in, staying here with you." "But I only wanted to return it," sobbed Mrs. Champion. "Everything seems to be going wrong, I can't see why she won't marry him. I do believe it's only We -cause of that miserable doctor idea she has." " Whatever it is, we cannot interfere. Don't ory over it, Betty. Miss Maynadier knows what she is about, and we know none of the fact il except by conjecture. At any rate, your machinations seem to work only inversely. And you really must promise me to keep those little hands out of it all. It is as bad for you as for them." Mrs. Champion promised in a subdued mood, and meant to keep her word. When Dr. Lynah came in, later in the day, she saw him look at Katharine's grave, down- cast face, then turn to her with a quick glance of anxious inquiry, and she even low- ered her eyes lest they should answer de- spite wifely obedience. The visit was constrained and formal. Katharine spoke but little. Dr. Lynah was preoccupied and silent also. Mrs. Cham- pion alone seemed natural, and she was acting. . When Dr. Lynah rose to go, his face was as grave as Katharine's. In hie farewell he made no pretence at an ease which did not exist, but he paused at the door, turning to speak with his hand on the lock. "If Mrs. Champion will spare you to me for the evening, Mies Maynadier, I should be very glad. There is to be a concert to- night which I know you will enjoy, if you will consent to go." Mrs. Champion's lips opened for an eager w9rd of urging, but she ohoked it down. -Katharine turned her face slowly toward Dr. Lyman Her eyes 'were full of thought and honestly transparent. He answered their look by returning a step, speaking again with a kind of proud significance : "1 beg that you will consent." " Yes, ' said Katharine, slowly, "1 shall be very glad." Mrs. Champion moved impatiently at the grave acceptance. As Dr. Lynah thanked Katharine in the same manner, again mov- ing away, she glanced anxiously from one to the other, and then, with a little gesture of her Inends, as if throwing off invisible bonds, she raised herself on her pillows to call him back to her. "1 want to thank you for relieving me of Katharine for a whole evening," she said. "She's such a disciplinarian, she won't let me do ever so many things that you would, for instance." "What kind of things do you want to do, for instance ?" asked Dr. Lynah, smiling at her indulgently. "Perhaps I may be stern too." "If I tell you before her, she will per- suade you that they are imprudent. May I whisper to you what I have set my heart on having this evening-? Shall you mind, Kitty ?" Katharine could but smile her consent, and, glancing toward her for pardon, Dr. Lynah bent hie tall figure over the bed ; but Mrs. Champion drew him down to her with a nervous hand on his arm, raising her face until her whispering lips were close to his ear. "Dont fugue with Kitty ?" she implor- ed ; "make love to her. It's your only chance." Dr. Lynah rose with a start. He seemed Pitcher's Castoria, to stand breathless, but as he looked down again at Mrs. Champion he laughed. She was too small to be impertinent. "1 am very indulgent to you, Mrs. Cham- pion, but waen't that little audacious?" Katharine could not help smiling also at his expression of mingled amusement and reserve. "What is it, Betty ?" she asked, anxious- ly. "You show real genius in inventing imprudences." "-Was that imprudent, Dr. Lynah ?" ask- ed Mrs. Champion. "1 cannot pretend to decide," he answer- ed, and, pointedly refusing further discus- sion he went from the room. Seim entering the hospital, Katharine had walked out for fresh sir only, and then wore a cloak over her nurse's uniform. On this evening, for the first time in weeks, she laid her garb aside for the dress of the world, but it was with a reluctant feeling, as if she were unbuckling part of her panop- ly of defence. When, standing before her mirror, she saw herself reflected there in costume no less becoming, but such as any woman not set apart might wear, a strong impulse made her palm and turn to her desk, taking out and reading over a letter which she had received a few days before. It was from her chief at the old hospital, wbo wrote to ask regarding her plans for the future. He *poke with a deeper convic- tion than ever of her ability, urging her to remember that she was imperiously called to the profession she wished to adopt, not only by her own manifest talent, but by the hope of aiding her weaker sisters in ex - 'mph!. The words were not looking in elo- quence. Katharine arose from reading them stir- red and strengthened. She slipped the letter into her pooket, and carried it with her as a kind of talisman when she left the hospital with Dr. Lynah. The musical evening was as uneventful se Katharine knew it would be. It was only when they stepped out into the darkness again, and Dr. Lynah suggested that they should walk to the hospital, that the ner- VOUenee$ of expectation seized her. Never- theless, she laid her hand on his offered arm, acquiescing quietly. Perhaps she plunged a little abruptly into the subject of their common protege, John- ston, and her hopes and plans for the future, founded on the knowledge that he had ties which still held in part; but, whatever was her motive to begin with, Katharine's heart .was honestly in the effort, and she had be- come her usual earnest self, absorbed in the interests of others, when she was suddenly struck back into consoiousness by the dis- covey that Dr. Lynah was laughing. 66 orgive me," he said, penitently, as she stopped in the midst of s sentence. "1 was only laughing at myself, however. I am afraid I have been using Johniton a little as a means to an end, and now to have my means turned into a shield against my ,end does strike me as the irony of fate." Katharine caught her breath audibly and waited. "How long has it been, Katharine? It oonld not have begun before the first time I saw you, I suppose, Do you know what were the first words I ever heard you speak? I can remember them, every one, and every look and gesture withthem. I was at a formal dinner where some one told a brutal hearsay story of an old surgeon', and I saw a girl at the far end of the table lean forward, her face all glowing. I thought her eager eyes the loveliest part of her until I heard her speak. All she said was this: You will be glad to learn that cannot possibly be true. I have worked under him for months, and I know he would be incapable of brutal- ity.' That was all, dear, and yet in that same moment you marched into my heart with colors flying and no resistance. Ah, the subtle sweetness of these memo- ries! - They curled about Katharine's heart and found a hearing against her will. The elaborate arguments she had prepared were impossible as a reply. She felt for tbe letter in her pocket, and drew it out, grasping it as an anchor. With- out comment of her own, she repeated its stirring oall to Dr. Lynah, who listened silently, then took the letter from her and held it in hie hand as if weighing it. "And you Are comparing our two propo- ;Mons," he said; "this offering you a pro- minent position before the eyes of the world, and the other that of being the whole world in the eyes of one man. It is a contrast. Do you think me presumptuons,Katharine ?" "No, not exactly presumptuous. Will- fully blind, perhaps. I cannot follow your line of argument." "1 have but one argument, dearest, and that I think you understand. I love you and I want you." "1 meant that you underrat ability," said Katharine, hastily. But Dr. Lynah again refused gauntlet. "Suppose for the time that I agree with you," he said, " We will waive 'argument. Let me yield you everything, eve eibility of your far outstripping race, and then, I shall deliberate) to sacrifice all, Did I love you lees dearly than I do, I would ha to ask this, and you DO right to g lees -what the violets on your b taught me to hope to be true ?" "But you have no real belief i equality,' said Kathatine, deeper ing to the old refuge. "1 am caring for what I one had, and what you alone can giv answered. Katharine no longer evaded th "1 see my grave mistake now," "1 should have left the hospital a spite of the pressing circumetance ing was all wrong.' " No, not until after to -day. that the position now is unte therefore, unless this open questio world is to become a closed one shall myself leave the hospital. I ranged with Dr. Saye. My vacati from the early- morning, if I will, o if youheill it so. But, dear, name faring humanity cannot be cryi need of you more longingly than I." Always, when speaking to her there was the change of an underlyi ing in his manner, and Katharine come too miserably aware that so within her own heart would wake i trollable, swift reply. It was this rather than hie word now sapped her strength and drew ewer in an agonized whisper from h "1 cannot -you know that I cann to -night end it if for my sake alone.' " To -night shall end it," he answered, earnestly. "It is again for you to choose between Ub-between your love a d your lover, your work and me ?" He bent suddenly, covering her ha d with hie. "Katharine, you love me. I kno it,you know it." Although she might quail for the oment Katharine wae no coward. She rais d her white face and quivering lips. "Yes," she said, miserably, " love you." He bent over her, drawing her doe r, but she withdrew from him. " No " she exclaimed. "1 am not yield- ing. Not if it must mean to throw aside tho life to which I am called and for hich I know I am best fitted.

They had reached the hoepital buildin although, in their absorption, neither ha been conscious of it. nearness, Now, s the door opened for the exit of a late visito the light from the hall poured out over th two figures. Recognizing them, the hal boy held open the door for their entrance Katharine stepped into the brightly light ed hall as into a refuge, but, as Dr. i Lyna followed her, the boy stopped him, sayin that he had a message to deliver from Dr Saye, who desired to know if Dr. Lyres were going away in the morning. "If so, he wishes me to return this oas to you, and if not I am to keep it, and h will take it back in the morning." The boy held out an instrument case as h ended, and waited for a reply. Dr. Lynah paused,then turned and looked at Katharine. "What do you advise ?" he asked, de- liberately. "Shall I be needed here ?" For a moment Katharine's indignation at his ineistence swept away all other feeling. "1 have no advice to offer," she anewered, moving away. She saw Dr. Lynah instant- ly stretch out his hand for the case, saw it given into his keeping, and realized with a sudden chill that in the action all power of decision was passing out of her hands, and forever. As he rejoined her she glanced up at him quickly, but could read nothing from his grave face. The power of resist- ance whit% had supported her seemed ebb- ing from her. She turned her face toward him helpless- ly. Almost without her conscious volition, her lips formed the word "Stay !" and i It. utterance she fled from him to lock he door on herself and her swelling heart,whic she felt had become as a separate part o her with which she had wrestled and bee overthrown. In the grateful solitude of he own room she was still held breathless an In the power of her triumphant conquer° within, beating its tumultuous preen of vie tory. She opened the throat of her gown the closeness of which stifled her, but, still oppreseed, half sobbing, she sank into chair, her face buried in her hands. The minutes passed in miserable fear an uncertainty, doubting her future, her happ ness, and, most of all, herself. She ' w a roused at last by a knock at the door, an rising to open it, found the sleepy bell -bo who gave her an envelope and retired,yaw ing, with the indifference of those doomed to carry the sealed up interests of °there. Katharine recognized the handwriting, and it was with a desperate sensation of being bound and caged that she opened the c o v eher. T re were only a few lines withio. Her hand trembled as she held the paper to the light to read these words : "1 was ungenerous, and my treas re would be but dust and ashes in my gra p, won unfairly. Rest easy, sleep well ; y u are as free to -night ae I am yours wholly, as never before, and forever," Katharine dropped the unsigned words in her lap with a rush of gratitude for their tender chivalry, and a woman's wonder at their delicate comprehension of herselfer heart beat with a soft regularity as he strain relaxed. The sense of bondage as gone, and, with it, half of its terrors. St 11, her last waking thought was gratitude to her lover for her freedom -a gratitude wh eh perhaps led to her falling asleep with he letter which liberated her clasped in er hand. But peaceful olumber was not for Ka h- 1 ariue that night. Before she was fairly in 'dreamland she was roused by a hand on er shoulder and the night nurse's startled vet co in her ear summoning her to Mrs. Cha ion's bedside. Whether Betty had contrived to fulfil n er threat of imprudence in her watchful frien i's absence, Katharine had no time to discov r. 'She reached her patient•to see at a glace that there was not a moment to waste in n- quiry as to cause. Through some accident a emptiest n had arisen which could be prevented frim becoming serious only by instant and fe r - less action. When Dr. Lynah arrived in answer to is hasty Summons, there was but little left or him to do. He reviewed the situation wl h sharp decision, to find the conditions und r a skilful control, and the actual danger I ready averted. He indicated to Katharine hie wish th t she should retain her position, aiding h r only its an assistant, watching bee throng out keenly and with a new expreseion gro ing on his face. At last order was fully restored, and, o soon as all pain and possible danger ende the patient chopped peacefully asleep, s (Continued on page 7.) or Pitcher's Castoria.
