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.
