“To Miss Floyd,” he responded.
The doctor held out a hearty hand.
"Good, I was sure of It! A patient
shows a lot of bis character to his
physician. Oood luck to you—all
kinds.”
How did he know of unprotected Jes­
sica Floyd? Stanton wearily pondered
the question as he descended to th*
carriage. Or rather, how did he know
of Stanton's feeling of responsibility
toward her? The m echanician was
supposed to take his chance with th*
driver. Perhaps delirium had revealed
the close bond of friendship between
Floyd and himself.
At the railroad station, a tall young
man approached him, as the train
whistled In the distance.
"My namk Is Richards," he an­
nounced diffidently. "You’re hardly
on your feet yet, Mr. Stanton; If there
Is anything I can do for you on the

Stanton surveyed him with blank
non-recognition.

young m an tried again. "H ave you

lowed you on the afternoon you were

Stanton put out his haud, the poign­
ant m emory unendurable.
"Yes, yes. W hat of it?"

The train was hissing a t the plat­
form, but th e reporter pursued him a
step farther.
"You, you'll look a fte r Miss Floyd,
Mr. S tanton? T hat's square?”
The driver turned an amazed resent­
ful glance upon his questioner, his
hand on the rail. But. hardly aw are

“Yes, sir."
