Pat OttA A New Novel b Marian Stmt GE SIX nritoptsin: Carol reaUtee that although she hat tried not to fall in love with her employer, Blake Thornton, that i exactly what the hag done. And he with her. But Blake ie married to a telflah wo man, yeare older than he, who will not divorce Him. and there eceme little that they can do about the matter. Carol jvet hue been wak ened early in the morning by a telephone call from the huehand of one nf her college frtende, obviouely in dietreee. Chapter H DISASTER "pHEY'VB Just taken little Hal to the bodpUal to be operated on. Mastoid. ..." The word reverberated in her sleep-clogged mind. Mastoid. She ' whispered, "Oh, Harry . . ." and was (lent. "Marge wanted to know If you'd come and alt with her while they operate. I'll bare to go back and its? with Dollle until the girl comos. It's after Ave now. ..." "Of course I villi Whore are JT0U7" "St Martin's. Would you take a taxi? I'll come back here as soon as I possibly can." "Of course. But wouldn't you rather have me stay wltb Dollla so yon can be with Margery?" "No. I'll stay at home." She guessed that the blow had so stag gered him that he wanted to be aura of Dollie. "I'll be there Inside halt an hour." 8he hung up the receiver and snapped on a light, then called a taxi before she baaan tn dress., Tha tail was waiting when she came down ten minutes later. At St. Martin's the switchboard girl said: "Third floor, sitting-room at the and of the corridor . . ." and she ran or the elevator. Margery was a amall frozen fig ure huddled Into a lumpy couch. She whimpered: "Carol!" and began to cry. Carol sat down and took her In . her arms. "Hold It! Don't do that, darling." She sat still, holding Mar gery tightly. "Have they started ytr mastoid, but tha words naa a con fident, comforting sound. "TTAVB you had anything to eat?" Carol demanded. -"Oh, no. I It would make me alck." "Not coffee. I'm going and see If I can't rustle some." She found a young nurse who aald, Vca Indeed; ahe would see that they had coffee right away. Minutes stumbled past. Coffee came, and Inside and outside the hospital the world stretched and yawned and made noisy prepara tions for another day. Sunlight atole between two walla and poured Ita pale gold on the floor at their feet. At Intervale Margery asked from the loneliness of her anguish: "What time la It?" and her voice was small and unmodulated, like A child's. "Twenty-live minutes of eight." "He said It would take about two hours, probably." She turned to stare at the doorway. "Harry ought to be here before long. I wish 1 had my knitting; I was making him a sweater to wear to kindergar ten. . . ." Harry came a few minutes later, looking gray and drawn, walking un necessarily on tiptoe. He went to tht couch and put his arms around Mar gery, and Carol got up and stood al the window with her back to them. "Shall I clear out now?" she asked without turning. "Please don't," Harry said. "Un less you think you really ought to. If ho stands It all right I'll have to keep two appointments this morn ing." Business aa usual. Because, Carol knew, be would need hla commis sions more than ever, to cope wltb all this. Well, having to cany on would porhapa be bettor than this! A SOUND in the doorway brought them to their feet, white-faced and silent and questioning. Dr. How ard atood there, dragging a white cap from hla head. "So far ao good," he aald, and his steady voice Bounded loud and clashing In the hushed room. "He went through It better than we could have hoped for. Wa got It Just In time. . . ." - Margery whimpered with relief, and Harry's arm tightened about her shoulders. "How soon will we know any--thing?" be aake.4 hoarsely. "I can't exactly tell. He won't out of the ether for some time may be an hour." He eyed them keen ly. "Why don't you go home and got a hot bath and some breakfaat?" They atlrred and sighed. Harry aald: "I guess we will do that. Thanks, Doctor." In the car Margery said: "Carol, can't you como on home and have hrenktnst with us?" She shook her head. "No. I'll get a bath and put my clothes on prop erly, and have breakfaat downataln In thn tea-room. Would you like for v 5 c x x At nine she called Blaht. "A few minutes ago," The gatos were down, and Margery found mo mentary relief In words, "llo's com plained of earache tor two days, and I took him to Dr. Howard yesterday. He said to watch It carefully and let him know at once It the pain got worse. ... He waked up about half past three, screaming, and whon 1 called Dr. Howard he came right out, and we brought him hero. . . ." Her voice faded. "Then you must have gotten holt! of It promptly, and that's the main thing." She wondered It that was true. She knew nothing of the ways of me to sit .with you while Harry Is away?" "Oh, if you would!" Margery whis pered. "Mother will get here late this afternoon, hut I'd bo so glad to have you if the office can spare you." "I'm sure It can." She waa Immeasurably touched by the fact that Margery had turned lo her. At nine she called Blake and told him, as steadily as possible, what had happened. "I hope it's all right?' ahe concluded. fCcrvujM, If Si, Sy lfuMfltt Slm) And tomorrow Bl.lt.t r.t.rva brtaka. DKTROIT. 6t-pl. SI. (API lout B. Ward, former Washington repre sentatives of the Rev.

The situation became even mora precarious the following month when a terrific storm arose and 19 me-; bars of the party quit the ship to take refuge on the Ice. Included in thin group were two Eskimos, their wives and children, one of the latter a baby only a few weeks old. A few hours later a booming noise waa heard the loo field on which they stood had split and a yawning gulf of water lay between themselves and the ship, the dlntnnce widening more and more as the ItiAhlng storm drove the broken field apart. By the time the storm lifted no trace of the ship was to be seen. Left with two smnll boats and scanty provisions, the lce-marooncd party built snow huts and shot a few bird end seals, using the lntter animals' blubber for fuel. After being afloat for 197 days, the party was finally rescued by the steamship "TlKrpBR" on April 1, 1873.
