crooning io mm,, my lamer trying
to soothe him, but it seemed to
me that I could not mount! each
step t hit led me away from his
pain-laden cries. But Lillian';
necessity urged me on, though at
the foot of the! stairs she had
spoken in a lifeless fashion: "Go
to Junior, Madge."
"Not till we are ready for the
hospital," I replied firmly, i and
she madG no further protest; in-
i stead, she silently submitted to
my dictum that she sit in an easy

at the doctor's discretion,- some
toilet articles, and a change of
clothing for each, of us if we were
compelled to spend the night at
the hospital. I pnt them all in a
small bag, glancing occasionally
with concern at my friend, I, who
sat stony and! pallid as a carven
image, looking into space, her
hands gripping the arms of the
chal..
Another type of woman would
have demanded action, hysterical
ly, but I knew, that she, with un-
utterablo tortured visions before
her eyes, was j simply marking
time, being obedient to the phy
sician's orders, i conserving and
marshalling her strength until it
should be needed in the battle for
her child's life. That she was al
so longing unutterably for the op
portunity ; return to the still
figure on the couch below, I
knew, but I realized that Dr. Pet-
tit had wished to get her out of
the way, for some reason or other,
and I packed things as slowly as
I could manage without arousing
her suspicions.! '
Mrs. Ticer Explains. i;
' Finally, however, there - was
npthing more to be done, and we
descended the stairs to the living
room again. There we were ar
rested by the sound -of Pr. Pet
tit's voice, quick, irritated, i -
"I can't make anything out of
that he said; then, with f per
functory compunction." "Thank
you, Mrs. Ticer. but I need a wo
man's eyes here. , Mrs. Ticer, tell
me what happened." 1
Lillian gripped my arm until I
winced. . j ,' . .
"Listen," she whispered "hoarse- i
ly. "Nobody would tell me be-
fore." ' j :-, '
A little premonition of some
thing to be uttered which should
prove a shock to both, of us chill
ed me, but her grip on my arm
held me no less than my own in
clination. I. too, felt that I must
hear what Mrs. Ticer, had to say.
"The children were playing In
the front yard," Mrs. Ticer said.
"There's a fence in front, but It's

"It was the pluckiest thing I
