Chapter 2S ' Mysterious Malady THERE waa aomething the mat ter with Adelaide. She had returned from her visit neither rested nor refreshed, though ahe was voluble over the kindness ahown her by her host ess. She aeemed not to notice the changes Isobel had made in the arrangement of furniture, she was entirely uninterested in resssum Ing the household reins: worst of all, ahe waa indifferent to the health and happiness of her en lire household. 'And that meana something is very wrong indeed," Isobel said worriedly. Adelaide is the kind est soul on earth. Ordinarily her first question when she's been away from ua for so much as a day is how we have fared." "Do you think ahe is ill?" Erie demanded. He had come down dressed to go out but, attracted by the conference being carried on in low tones by his fellow housemates, he had Joined them. "She looks better then usual to me. She actually had a little color in her face at dinner." "But ahe ltdr touched her rooa, arenas coniriouica. isuoci bad her favorite lemon pie on purpose and Adelaide just dabbled her fork in it; didn't eat a single bite." Mac spoke. "She is ill. I'm per fectly sure. I happened to touch her hand just before she went up stairs and it was hot Flu, per haps: there's a lot of it about" But the next morning Adelaide aeemed better though languid and still unlike herself. She had no temperature aa Br end a ascer tained by the aimple process of S reducing a thermometer and rmly bidding her landlady keep it in her mouth for the necessary length of time. "Normal," Brenda sighed with relief. . "Of course it's normal, you ri diculous child." Adelaide spoke almost peevishly. "I'm not ill. Can't a person be a little tired from a train trip without every one wanting to wish sn illness on her?" The two girls exchanged signifi cant glances. Adelside to talk like this! Out in the hall Brenda mur mured: "Has she any close rela tives? . Could ahe have had bad news of thrm while she waa in Springfield?" "No," was Isobel'a reply. "Prac tically her whole life is bound up right in this house." "Money losses, then?" "It might be, of course: but It Isn't like Adelaide to get edgy over a thing like that No. I still think she's ill in spite of not hav ing any temperature." By noon Adelaide did have a temperature; not a high one but enough to duplicate the mislead ing flush in tier cheeks of yes terday. She refused her luncheon, fell into a heavy sleep from which she wakened unrefreshed. "Adelaide, do let us call a doe tori" Brenda coaxed. "It may be flu it may be some little diges tive disturbance; but certainly something ia the matter. Isn't ft wiser to And out what and cor rect it?" But she had touched upon the one obsession of Adelaide'a easy going life. She had no use for doc tors, and less for hospitals. Her husband, it developed, had died on the operating table. All the stubbornness of her character concentrated Itself on this point. She sternly forbade the worried girls to call in a doctor; she re fused the simple home remedies Isobel offered her. A Right To Protection' BY NIGHT she was able to dress herself though the ominous color still burned in her cheeks, and her eyes were too bright . Mae, informed privately over Miss Ormond's telephone as to the situation, made short work of her. "Look here, Adelaide, I'm going to call a doctor. No, I don't want to hear what you think of them I don't want to hear anything, as a matter of fact Do you realire that the state of your health isn't entirely your own concern? You do keep a bnardinghouse, after all. The people who live under your roof have a right to protec tion. It isn't fair. You may have something contagious, you Know." ne finished firmly. It wss the bne argument which bore weight with her. For the sake of her beloved family ahe would submit to anything or at any rate, to the calling of a phy sician. "But promise me one thing." she said, seining Mac feverishly by the eyriat. Promise me, no matter what the doctor says, you'll not aend me to a hospital . rd die rm perfectly sure I'd dia if I so much as went through the door of a hospital. Mac, prom ise!" "I wish I could, dear," he re plied. "And I do promise this: that if it's not strictly necessary you shall not be moved." Her usually soft eyes flared at him. "The consent of the patient must be obtained before" she began. . "We won't talk of it now," be soothed her. "I haven't an Idea vou'U have to go to a hospital. It's probably Just a touch of flu or something like that A few daya in bed, and the right medicine, and you'll be as good as ever." As he started toward the tele phone ahe called to him. "Not Dr. VanNess. Mac! I won't have him! Not a neighbor, a friend! If I must have someone listening to my heart and lungs I want it to be a atranger!" So Mac called a young phy sician whom he knew; and while Dr. Stern was busy with his re bellious pstient upstairs. Ade laide's family waited anxiously downstairs for the verdict "I csn't tell yet," he said when he joined them. "I'm having some blood tests msde tomorrow. It looks like a low form of typhoid. But where on earth could she have got typhoid here?" In concert they all started to tell him of the Springfield visit; then stopped abruptly and al lowed Isobel to complete the tsle. "The woman ahe visited lives iust out of town. I don't even now whether there was city wa ter there or not She just got back yesterday, you see, and has been too unlike herself to tell us any thing about it." Eric asked: "Shouldn't she be in a hospital?" ' "Of course she should, but the very mention of it throws her into hysterics," the doctor ssid with impatience. "In her present condition, and without her con sent I have no right to order her there. Well, we'll see tomorrow!" Not Much Wiser BUT they were not much wise? when the reports of the blood tests came in. They were slightly positive on several counts; un dulant typhoid, msla'ia. "But she can't have them all!" cried Brenda. "She doesn't in fact have any one of them," the doctor in formed them gloomily. 'This simply means she's been running a temperature ror a long time ao it'a simulating jny number of things. There's Infection, of course. I'll have more tests made and we'll soon locate it" But Adelaide'a illness proved to be one of those unaccountable cases which baffle medical science. Try as he would Dr. Stern could find no focus of infection. Yet the fever rose daily, nausea and weakness persisted and Adelaide roused only to full consciousness when the word "hospital" was spoken in her hearing. Brenda shoved her cardboard with its neatly drawn squares under her bed. and installed her self as nurse. Isobel relieved her but Isobel had her work to do. Both the men helped at nlghta. Even Grenadine could be trusted now and then to sit bv the bed and see that Adelaide'a few wants were supplied. And presently Brenda received reinforcements. Miss Ormond came over the third day of Ade laide'a illness. "I may be too old to teach but I'm not too old to help care for the sick," she announced grim ly. "You look tired out Brenda. child. Go take a good long nap wniie I slay with Adelaide. Kindly Dr. VanNess came over every evening to hear young Stem's report. He said he under stood perfectly that Adelaide might prefer a atranger to a friend in her illness. Maud came, too, and tried to take her turn at nursing but she spilled the entire bottle of alcohol over the patient when she tried to give her a rub. she could not pass the bed with out bumping into it and alto gether Brenda concluded that Maud Could be of more help out side the sickroom than in it. "If you'd plan the meals for us and sort of superintend Grena dine now and then," she sug gested. One of the greatest surprises though Brenda aaid afterward there were so many it waa hard to grade them was the efficiency of Mrs. Arnold's Dorothy. She came late one evening and in sisted on sitting up with the pa tient during the night She waa so altered In appearance that Brenda's tired eyes had to look twice to recognise her. Her heavy hair had been cut and thrnned. and the permanent was an accom plished fact It was not becom ing to her, as her benefactor never tired of pointing out But to Dorothy herself it was the equivalent of a magic robe, and in her own eyea she walked in beauty since its attainment And she m-as an excellent nurse.
