with Dicky close behind them.
"Bet ine take her!" Alfred said
hoarsely, but Dr. Braithwaite inter
posed a sharp command:
"Don't touch her. Here. Madge,
this way!"
He was down on his knees beside
me. and had lowered Bellas insen
sible figure to the floor even as he
spoke. An offiee woman and a nurse
appeared as if by magic, and s curt

sent them scurrying, to return «l

Dr. Bralthwaite's direetlon, applied.
"Bet me have the nearest room and

said to the office woman, and Della’’

Dicky and I stood helplessly hv
while the surgeon snd nurse worked
over her, but 1’ was only a few min

"Sit beside her and hold Her timid.

with s nod to the nurse to remain

He broke off again, apparently

“Right away,” Dicky answered
promptly, and his brother-in-law put

"Now tell ni» ever) tiling you
