I Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” Tim Citrous Way Mis. Durkee Took Dr. Fnxliam's Derision. I have seen Mrs. Durkee in times of stress and have always known her to come through with colors flying, but never have 1 admired my little friend more than when she faced Dr. Fox ham and quietly asked him if he advised an operation for the growth whose signs he had found beneath her arm. All the nervousness, the almost hys toria, which had been hers before the physician's examination, had van ished. It was as if an heroic soldier, visualising to the full XVhat awaited him, had summoned all his fortitude to advance into battle as befitted a man. But though a gallant little , figure, she was a pitiful one, and I felt a choking sensation in m.v throat as I looked at her. That Dr. Foxham'a professional im perturbability was threaded with com passion I knew as I saw the look he bent upon my little friend. And his voice held infinite gentleness as he answered her. ‘'Yes. I advise an operation, but—it is a slight one. In till probability you ran leave thr hospital in a week, ami you will be relieved of your pain. Isn't that worth while?” ”\on Are a Relative? I,ittle Mrs. Durkee caught her breath. "Oh! That pain all gone? That would be heaven!” she exclaimed, and then faced him with eager, question ing eyes, "Would you operate. Dr. i-'oxiiam?" "No, 1 do not do surgical work," he replied. "Oh, dear,” she said dolefully, "and I am so afraid Dr. Pringle, my physi cian out in Marvin, doesn't either."

"You are a relative of Mrs. Dur kee?" lie asked me suddenly. "No, only her nearest friend," 1 re turned. "But you have near relatives?" he turned to her. "My son and daughter-in-law." she answered, looking frightened. But they- mustn't know about Ibis It would scare them to death!" "But that is nonsense," he said with sudden sternness. "There is nothing to be frightened about, and even If t iiore were, you cannot go through i with this alone. Mrs. Graham, may I ,k you to tell Mrs. Durkee's son of this visit, and ask hitn to drop in to see me—say—tomorrow, if it is con venient for him to do so? That will save you the necessity of coming In again"—lie turned back to my little friend with so charming a smile that her patent resentment at his taking things out of her hands promptly van ished. Dr. Fovliam Makes on tppointment. "I shouldn’t mind that a bit,” she retorted with the swift coquettish up ward lift of the eyes, which is as nat ural to Her I'Tuftines* as are playful tricks to a kitten. "But, still, I do get awfully tirptl. so I suppose it will lie best for Alf to come in. Tomor row. you said?” "Yes, I shall have more time tomor row than upon the following days." lie said. Then for a second he looked directly at me, and I fancied I saw a signal in his eyes for no delay In Al fred's arrival at his ofTi*o. "He's terribly busy, but I’ll try to see that he pets here." Mrs. Durkee promised, and across her head I sig naled to Dr. Foxharn the assurance that, busy or not. Alfred Durkee would keep that appointment. "How much do 1 owe you. Doctor.’ , Her Fluthness opened her beade.l,bag. 1 "Never mind that now. I'll see your son when he comes in." She started to demur, but I touched her hand. "\Ve mustn't miss our train.” T said, although I knew we had plenty of time. "Oh. that * so!" She rose to her feet hurriedly, and I put her cloak around her. Sin* held out her tiny haid to Dr. Foxham with her mo*t charming smile, and he bent over it with formal courtesy. But as he raised his head 1 detected something in his eyes which wa* neither formal nor professional, the compassion which they had held when she so gal lantly had asked him if lie advised an op*- ration. "Good afternoon. I am sure you will tie all right." he said, as ho bowed us out, and Mr*. Durkee hardly waited until she was out of hearing 1 to make a comment which startled me. "It's a wonder he didn't say ‘Good by. good luck.' the way* we did to the soldiers going across, when we were certain some of 'em were never com ing l<ack."
