in out1 of tlio nnrrow white bods In u
dormitory of u hospital n woman lay
tossing As she tossed sho talked
I am ho lonesome without you she
said Come back to me If you only
know how lonesome 1 wns you would
come hack to me I know you would
A young nurse a mere girl arose
from a chair near the table and ap
proached the bed She beckoned to an
other nurse who was old
Come here she whispered and see
whnt Is the mntter with her She talks
so 1 have given her medicine again

nnd again but It hasnt quieted her 1
nm afraid she Is going to die and I
havent got used to seeing them lie yet
Oh I wish the doctor would come
If you are going on like this Bald
the old nurse youd hotter give up at
once nnd take in plain sewing for n liv
ing Youll never make a decent nurse
The girl Interrupted her with an im
patient gesture
Listen Bald she Its enough to
break your heart to hear her talk
Nurses have no business with
hearts asserted the old nurse Give
her some more medicine
The days have been so long moan
ed the woman turning her head heavy
with tawny hair from side to side
and the nights have been so long with
out you Are you there Have you
come back It is dark I cant see
When I look up I see only spider webs
thick In one corner They spread and
spread The whole world seems to be
tilled with spider webs And she shud
dered
The girl dropped some medicine in a
spoon and placing her strong young
arm beneath the womans shoulders
raised her up
There now she said soothingly
Wont you take this medicine Take
it for me please Wont you
The woman shook her head
No no- she murmured Let mo
lie right still nnd rest I am so tired
Put my head back on the pillow I
cant do anything with It myself It
doesnt seem to belong to mo some
how or other It seems to belong to
somebody else
It Is all wrong this head of mine
she went on by and by all wrong
Do you know why It was because 1
wrote stories So many stories had to
come out of It a week they had to or
I couldnt live nnd that was what
ailed It The brain was overworked
It couldnt stand the pressure And 1
was doing so well with my work too
Juan
Who is Joan asked the old nurse
I dont know She talks of him con
stantly nnd to him He Is her husband
or her sweetheart I cant tell which
And he is dead that Is sometimes I
think he Is dead and then again I
think he Isnt
The woman smiled faintly
If you were here you would be
proud of me she said really you
would but now that you are gone
there Is no one who cares Isnt that
very hard to have to work and work
and work nnd then to have nobody In
all the wide world who cares for your
success You might nlmost ns well
not succeed quite as well I sometimes
think Dont you Jean
I wish she wouldnt talk to him
like that said the girl tremblingly
I Imnglno I see the wraith of him
standing here by her side
To bo n successful nurse remark
ed the elder woman you must leave
lmngiuntiou out of the question alto
gether and deal with plain facts
The plaint of the Invalid once more
filled up the silence
Think of stopping at a bookstore
und finding your story In a magazine
she said then coming to the house
nnd saying nt the dinner tnble I have
n new story out because you must tell
it to somebody you know I dont sup
pose there ever was a soul in the world
that didnt reach out now nnd then to
some other soul for sympathy Was
there Rut you are uot often surround
ed by sympathetic souls Jean partic
ularly If you write Those about you
appear to take tho fact of your having
stories In print as a personal affront
That Is strange isnt it Hut it is true
I have found it to be tho case Not only
I but others They raise their eye
brows thesu people and soy Indeed
Is that so And in what magazine
Then when you tell them the name of
tho magazine Oh they exclaim I

never heard of It before Is It n new
one here Is It published And hasnt
there been a tremendous change In the
weather since morning dont you
think It hns grown quite a good deal
colder with the wind In the north
I wish you would take this medicine
for me pleaded the girl She still held
the spoon In her hand Wont you
No no Let me rest 1 want to be
rigid quiet so Hint 1 can think Ami
ho after all what good does it do you
since there Is no one to
now that you are gone there Is no one
to care Jean no one at all
Her wide bright eyes stared unsee
Ingly at a little white curtain which
was strung aeioss the window pane
It lu a queer thing about these sto
ries Jean she continued Do you re
member what you used to say I re
member You used to say You are too
happy Nan to write Well Nan No
body ever calls me Nan now I never
hear my own name from one clays end
to another
She sighed nnd half closed her eyes
for a moment
Well she added since you cannot
utter It I dont want to hear it 1 dont
want to hear it from anybody else
lie must be dead whispered tho
girl
You will never write well until
your heart is broken you said and
you were right about that Jean Your
heart must break llrst then you must
struggle and struggle you must know
privation nnd suffering of nil sorts and
hunger oven before you can touch the
hearts of others who have nlso known
these things
She fell to moaning the two nurses
standing by and looking helplessly on
You could hnrdly accuse mo of bolng
too happy now Jean she resumed
falterlngly I have known what it
wns to suffer I have known privations
I have known want but worst of all I
have known what It was to live with
out you All the rest was as nothing
And no mntter how I suffered I must
work I must keep on working work
ing working Sometimes while I work
ed I tried to Imagine that you were
near me because otherwise my mouth
got hard and dry nnd my heart seemed
about to stop beating altogether I was
so unhappy I wns so nloue
Think of being nloue Jean after
being with you alone with only mem
ories to keep mo company And mem
ories nro snd sad company Do you
remember the White City where we
were so happy together Do you re
member tho white bridge with Its elec
tric pyramid in the water below nil
shining with different colored lights
and tho blue grotto and the Mexican
who came out every evening nnd snug
his little song What was tho song
I cant remember the name of It but I
know the tune If somebody would
only hum a snatch of it I could re
member It directly Will somebody
Sho waited Presently she began to
mutter Impatiently
Will nobody hum tho tune It is
strange I cant remember it I ennt
remember anything any more It seems
Those spiders on the wall have spun
their webs across my brain
There Isnt u single spider on the
wnll said the girl
Of course not assented tho other
If you take all their ravings literally
you will presently be raving yourself
What Is tlds place she Is talking
nboul
I Imagine It wns some sort of expo
sition held somewhere I cant tell
where Maybe they spent their honey
moon there Sometimes I think it must
have been the Worlds fair Sho talks
of white buildings nnd white bridges
I believe I would know tho place If I
saw It I have heard so much about It
She talks of It constantly They fiat at
little tables and looked at the crowd
The women were pretty women They

with llowers at their belts In one of
the buildings there was a concert nnd
tho orchestra often played Chopins fu

Listen She Is humming It now
That was the strain which followed
us wasnt It Jean said tho woman
when sho had Mulshed humming Do
you remember the green arbors cover

now to smell tuberoses 1 pass the stn
tlons wheie the Imjh sell them In a
rush I cant bear It to be reminded
so of you now that I have lost you
Things like that said the girl
make me believe he still lives and Is
only lost to her She never says that
he Is dead Just lost to her
You cant tell anything about It
declared the old nurse The host way
Is to look upon them as cases Dont
attempt to get into the iitlniithr of their
lives It wont do them any good it
wont do you any good
She smoothed the pillow and pressed
the womans tangled hair hack from
her white forehead
Perhaps the whole thing Is a dream
They are full of fancies these poor
Hick people Turn n deaf ear and
harden your heart You will succeed
nil the better in your work of caring
for them Hut notwithstanding her
sage advice her old eyes were full of
pity as she listened to tho Incoherent
muttering of the Invalid which re
solved Itself at length Into words
And the moonlight I lie moonlight I
shut myself In the house so I cant
nee that It breaks my heart 1
If the doctor would only come
sobbed tho young nurse
Well we will try to forget Hint
there Is such a thing ns moonlight
wont we Jean That Is the only way
to live without going mad Tear such
memories out of our heart and t rum
ple on them Oh me
She commenced lightly and delicate
ly to pick at the coverlids
Suppose said she that you should
grow famous What Is fame The
admiration In some eases even the ad
oration of people you havo never seen
anil whom you never will see Then
how can fame beiicllt a womnn A
man might manage to live on It but a
woman Is different What a woman
needs Is somebody to care for her
What she needs Is a little love
Her voice sank lower
Take a seasliell sho whispered
and carry It Inland No matter how
far you carry It hold It to your ear
and you will hear It moaning for tho
sea moaning moaning
Her head no longer tossed from sldo
to side It remained motionless on tho
pillow as If carved In stone her lips
alone moving
Since you left me Jean my life has
been one long ache My heart Is like
nn empty seasliell moaning for you I
nm so far away from you Como back
to me
They bent forward In the effort to
cntch her words
Come back to me she repented
Take mo by the hand once more nnd
lead me I am so tired of stnndlng

Her words once more tottered Into
Incoherence then stopped altogether
like n clock that has suddenly run
down
Tho young nurse sank upon her knees
and covered her face with her hands
Sho is dying she cried What
shall 1 do What shall 1 do
The old nurse strode to the head of
the bed Sho gently pressed the wom
ans white lids down After a moment
she took her hands away
Ho quiet said she Look up and
see how beautiful she Is now See how
well she rests after lifes litful fever
Sho laid the womans hands across

It is a mistake to take any and every kind of medicine when you are
sick There is danger in it Most of the so called cures for female
weakness do nothing more than deaden the pain temporarily and when
the effect wears away the patient is weaker and sicker than before It is
never wise to take chances You have only one life and that is dear and
precious If you have any pain ache disorder or weakness in the femi
nine organs nothing will help you like Wine of Cardui It helps do
away witli morning sickness during the early stages of pregnancy aiid
modifies the pains of childbirth recovery is rapid and future health is
assured I lie wine is purely veg
