Emily' mother. Frances, and Ed win's doayed persistence finally vore down Emily to the point that she could marry Edwin as the east est way out of a 'jery bad situation. Chapter 19 COLLAPSE THE sleepy clerk at a down-town hotel looked mildly astonished when Emily asked for a room. He hesitated a moment, then succumbed to the quiet elegance of her clothes and luggage. "If anyone asks for me," said the young woman who had registered as Miss Felton, "I am not registered here." The clerk's eyes widened, then narrowed. "Very well," he aald at fast It might have beer, the significant look Is the clerk's eyes, or It might have been the reaction from strain. But as Emily turned to follow the nnlformed back of the bell boy she crumpled silently, like a puppet vhn tha sfrlncr Ik ralpaaerl. Into a pitiful little heap upon'the tiled floor. "If anyone asks for me, THERE was a breeze that blew the Immaculate curtains almost horizontal. There was a crack In the celling strongly suggestive ot the Mississippi Rlvor and Its tributaries. There was a pungent, clean smell of disinfectants. And Anally, there was a nurae whose uniform was as crisp and white as the blowing curtains. Emily addressed the nurse faintly. "What la this place?" The nurse's voice was aa crisp ind Immaculate as her uniform. ''The Lookout Sanatorium." "How did I get here?" "You fainted at a hotel last night and the house physician there de cided that this was Just the very place for you." She spoke cheerily, as If this were the Ultima Thule ot all the nice places In the world. Last night. Emily could remem ber now that a great many people had been fussing over her, and thnl someone had made her drink some thing. At the memory ot all that pre ceded last night her mouth quivered. The nurse saw tha quiver. "It's about time for you to drink this, I 1 think." She gave Emily a glass with a straw In IL The next time she awoke it was dark. She felt much stronger; able to smile at the crisp nurse and to drink some broth that was hot and smelled very good. "I think I'd better got np now," she s-hrn she had finished. The nurso smiled. "Walt until morning. Dr. Wards would skin me It you got up before he said you mlghL" "Who la Dr. Wardo?" The nurse's face softened, and Emily was reminded of Ice breaking on a rlvor In spring. "Dr. Christo pher Wardo. He's one of the special ists here. He's the grandent doctor In the world." she added in a burst of confidence. Emily began to be curious about Dr. Warde. "Whn will I see him?" "Tomorrow morning. Now try to go back to sleep." When she woke again It was , morning, and the sunlight was a slanting golden shaft from the win dow to the floor. She frit better than she had In weeks. "Can't I get up now?" she asked . PORTLAND.

Jour breakfast will be here In a few minutes, tben when you've had your bath It will be time for Dr. Warde." She was more than ever curious about Dr. Warde; so curious that she ate all the breakfast and took the bath without a protest as a means of passing the time. She had just been settled once more In bed when he walked Into the room. He stood tor a moment beside her bed looking soberly at her an ugly, broad-shouldered little man with a big head. Tben he grlnnod, a slow grin that began with his mouth and spread gradually to a lot of little' wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Emily smiled back, secure in the knowledge that this doctor could probably do something about the horrible mess she was In. He looked' like the sort ot person who went through life getting people out of messes of different kinds. THE nurse slipped out and Dr. Warde sat down, quite sociably, In the most comfortable chair. "You've been rather pushing Rip Van Winkle for his record," he said. He hadn't spoken befpre that, and she thought that she had never heard such a nice voice. Low- I'm not registered here." pitched, like Charlotte's, with a drawl that made you feel that thore was no hurry about anything In tha world. She asked: "What happened to rue?" He grinned again, and she felt that whatever it was, It couldn't be very bad. "You've been going on your battery tor some time and It ran down on you." She knew what he meant; there had been nothing to recharge 1L "When may I get up?" "That depends,"-he said deliber ately, "on what you'ro going to do when you get up." Her face went white. What would she do? Dr. Warde's keen eyes never left her face. "Suppose you tell me about It," he suggested. "Then we'll know Just where we stand." Emily hesitated, wondering where she could begin. "I've gathered a little of It," ho went on, vary casually, as it he bad fugitive brldea for patients every day In the woek, "from a young man who has been here most of the time." Edwin would And her! ' "I can't aee him!" she cried. "You don't have to," Dr. Wardo asurcd her promptly. "But I didn't want to sond him away until I know mora about It. Let'a go back to the beginning." It was amazingly easy to tell him about it: tar easier than telling her mother would have beon. She began with the street carni val and went bravely through to tha nightmare ot two days ago. And when she had finished his mouth looked grim. He was consigning all the France j Feltons to perdition. "It's my fault," Emily said. "It's ridiculous tor a person almost twenty-five yeara old to bbma any one but herself tor a mess like this. But loving people your family. I mean Is like being caught in a web. Even If you break the wen It still cllnss to your fingers." "Suppose we leave them out of It," Dr. Warde suggested. "Thoy'U msnage to worry along. Let's talk about you and what you want to d next."
