     He cked it up too quickly in

     looking exultsnt he replaced the 
     
     receiver. For several minutes he 
     
     uemed Lheorbed in his thoughll. 
     
     then he turned to nice Janet. I091!!- 
     
     lng almost surprised at llndiru her 
     
     Iilll there. 
     
    

    
     "What was it you were eeylnl. 
     
     Dr. Eynonr" she promoted- 
     
    

    
     "whgm oh, oh nothing-noth- 
     
     mg of importance." 
     
    

    
     she rose to go. feeling elmoet 
     
     angry and annoyed. "Then that 
     
     will be all?" y 
     
    

    
     He stu-ed up at her curiously. 
     
     "Yes, thst will be all. Mill Her-

     out in the corridor ehe stood 
     
     before the elevators watching the 
     
     bi; dial over one or them. It had 
     
     halted at tour, then slowly it be- 
     
     you to move so the elevstor dee- 
     
     conded without further stops. 
     
    

    
     The doors slid apart and one oi 
     
     the hospital stewards wheeled out 
     
     an oxygen tank. Janet felt a sharp 
     
     premoniiory twinge . . . 
     
    

    
     "Someone on the fourth floor 
     
     taking oxygen. Prank?" 
     
    

    
     "They ordered it for old Mr. 
     
     I-lnrtizan." 
     
    

    
     "He's had another stuck?” 
     
    

    
     "He's gone, Miss Harrie -. 
     
     Iiipped away in his sleep, they: 
     
     said, It was too late for the oxy- 
     
     gen when they round him." 
     
    

    
     In spite or hersell, Janet's eyes 
     
     filled with tears. 
     
    

    
     Two weeks later Janet etood be- 
     
     fore the lull-length mirror or her 
     
     room in the nurses' reaidence and 
     
     nervo iy put the finishing touch- 
     
     es to er hair and unilorm. 
     
    

    
     What could this summmona lrom 
     
     Dr. Ferquhar, the head of Conno- 
     
     poiltan Hospital mean? She ran 
     
     rapidly over her conduct or the 
     
     past month and could think oi no 
     
     infringement of the rules. Beeides, 
     
     reprlmands always came from the 
     
     head senior nurse unless they 
     
     verxed on dismissal which was a 
     
     very rare occurence. I 
     
    

    
     The corridor to Dr. Farquhnrsi 
     
     otlicos seemed very long. In answer, 
     
     to her knock his bluli heartyrvoice 
     
     eked her to come in.  
     
    

    
     He was a. big, jovial man with a 
     
     face almost dangerously red 
     
     Strangers expected him in keel 
     
     over with apopiexy but he had 
     
     been that way all his lilo and well- 
     
     earned vacailona spent hunting 
     
     and fishing merely heightened his 
     
     color. S 
     
    

    
     "Come in. come in, Miss Harris." 
     
     he said cordially, "I believe you've 
     
     nlrendy met Mr. Prentice?" 
     
    

    
     Janet murmured n greeting. 
     
     What was J. D. Prentice, Mr. Har- 
     
     iiun's lrrnscible lawyer, doing 
     
     here? Probably wanted to question 
     
     her ehout the will. He tilted his 
     
     heed hack and peered down his 
     
     long nose through the upper hail 
     
     of his bl-local pince-nes.
