"Somehow I never get a chance to

ccmplained. "Are you actually
avoiding me—purposely?"
Sally shook her head. "Of
course not. Why should I? I'm
busy and.—well, I'm not particu-
larly keen about breaking rules
and—oh—use your head. Doctor
Hullock. You know you shouldn't

answered. "I'm no wolf; but I an.

panionship occasionally. Sunder-

Sally was startled. "Don't b_>

I don't!" and was vaguely troubled

Alice left he was made to reel
the disapproval of the entire staff,
not excepting the doctor*, and de-
parted almost at once.
The affair had made a lasting
impression on nineteen-year-old
Sally Maynard and she vowed
never while she was in the hos-
pital to allow herself to become
interested in men—especially in-
ternes. Perhaps that was one rea-
son for her popularity with the
statf—the superintendent in par-
ticular, although Sally's Uncle,
Dr. Ferdinand Maynard, dead
these many years, was the bond
that Miss Sunderlin stressed.

meeting. Sally left and joined
the night shift as it assembled in
the dfnlng room for breakfast or
supper—she could never quite
make tip her mind which to call
it. The night supervisor, Mrs.
Alexander, sat at the head of the'
table and said grace. The night
shift was usually too late tor

girls were glad of that: while oth-

the brief twenty minutes in the
shabby but still beautiful little-
room with its big stained glass
window on the east wall, its air
of quiet and peace and the read-

were deaf to the chatter that went
on around her and she left the
