OREGON, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1942. m'GM . ut '' by - BUetta Ranler Is the pretties! nurse In Stillwell Memorial llos piul. but she Ukes little Interest In men In fart. Is something ot a man-hater. When a rich and handsome new Interne. Dr.Carle ton Ash. comes to the hospital, all the other (Iris rave about him. but Kiletta la Indifferent or thinks she Is. Then, another nurse. Vivian Snyder. Invites both of them to a part; and arranges for Or. Ash to brim Rlletta. On the evening of the part Kiletta finds hersell eagerly awaiting him and, when he fails to call for ber at the appointed time, she's perturbed. Finally. Beatrice Blake, a trouble -making nurse who's jealous of Riletta. brings a message that he has beeo de tained. She deliberately with holds bis explanation that be has been delayed by an emer gency case for she hopes to cause a misunderstanding be tween him and Kiletta. She suc ceeds. Kiletta angrily goes to the party without him. When he An ally arrives and tries to apologise to her. she snubs him. He offers to escort her home, but she says that another interne. Dr. Sam Johnson, is going to take ber borne. CHAPTER IX AS SOON as Dr. Ash was out " of hearing, Dr. Johnson took hold of RUetta's wrist, and said angrily, "Look here. Rl letta, 1 don't see any reason why you should be so snippy with Dr. Ash." "Don't you want to take me home?" she challenged. "Well. If you don't It's quite all right with me" "You know darn well I'll be glad to take you home. It Isn't that. It'a Just that I think you're very unfair to Carleton Ash Undoubtedly. there was a good reason for his being de tained. And he sent you word, didn't he?" "Oh. to be sure he sent me word," Rlletta said haughtily "Sam. If you don't mind I'd rather not discuss the matter any further." 8am shrugged. "All tight If that's the way you feel about It. But I still say you had no excuse for treating him the way you did. He didn't do you any harm." "He didn't do me any good, either." Rlletta said briefly. CARLETON ASH took Beatrice Blake home after the party. She had maneuvered all evening so that he would do lust that Therefore, he ought to have been elated But she was not. because, on the drive home, she couldn't seem to get him off the subject of Rlletta "What did she say when you told her I was going to be delayed?" he asked for the third or fourth time "She didn't say much of any thing." Beatrice answered Irritably "She fust seemed annoyed " "But didn't vou explain that Dr. Courson wanted me on a very par ticular case that It was Impossible for me to get away?" "Oh, yes. I explained all that." Beatrice lied. "Of course I ex plained." "And then what did she say?" "Oh. I don't know I I can't re member. Anyway. If I were you. 1 wouldn't waste my time worrying about the way she acted She's a queer piece doesn't seem to like any one She really has very few friends except that old-maid roommate of hers. Lucy Stubbs. Most people can't put up with her DPPlty ways " Beatrlre was losing her patience. Why in the world did Dr. Ash have to go on thinking of Rlletta when CAPTAIN SHIELDS Promotion of Major Lin Shields, Corps Engineers, from the rank of captain was an nounced Saturday by Headquar ters, Camp White. Major Shields, an engineer In civil life, was transferred to Camp White from the Area Engineer Unit at San Luis Obispo, Calif.,- on Feb ruary 18.

She had always consldereo herself oretty enough to attract any man Other men had certainly told her she was pretty. But Dr. Ash seemed scarcely to notice her. "1IHERE did Miss Ranler come " from?" he asked, after a mo ment of silence. "Somewhere In the country. She Is the oldest of a big family. After her mother died, a year or two ago. she took a notion that she would study nursing." "Queer that so pretty a girl should decide to be a nurse," Dr. Ash said thoughtfully. "What's that?" Beatrice's tone was sharp. "I mean, you'd think a girl as pretty as that would have more frivolous Ideas In her head." "Oh. yeah?" Beatrice was now thoroughly provoked. Evidently. Dr. Ash didn't consider her too pretty to be a nurse He added. "Or you'd think she'd have married. She must have bad plenty of opportunities." "Oh. no RUetta's a man-hater She rarely even has a date. And every time she does have one, she later makes all kinds of fun of the man." "Seems a little unkind." . "Maybe o.' Beatrice agreed, "but then, are girls like that, you know. All that Riletta cares about Is her Job. She doesn't take any Interest In parties and things like that. I was surprised that she came to the party tonight." Dr. Ash nodded. "I noticed that she didn't seem to be having a very good time " "That's the way she always acts. I've been at parties with her before She always Just sits in a corner and looks bored." "The only person she paid any attention to was Sam Johnson. She seemed to enjoy his company." "Oh. he's her sweetheart that Is. as much of a sweetheart as she has," Beatrice said "Everybody In the hospital knows about that. He has been crazy about her for years I believe they grew up together. But she doesn't really care about him any more than she does about any one else. She's completely self centered." THEY lapsed Into silence after that. Beatrice made a few at tempts to start a conversation on another subject, but received no encouragement. Dr Ash answered when she spoke to him. but that was all. He seemed preoccuDled seemed not to want to talk any more. Beatrice began to wish she hadn't played up to htm all evenlng.lt had been fun, back there at the party, to seem to be receiving most of his attention She had flattered herself that she was arousing his interest Now. however. It was plain to be seen that he had turned to her only because he was hurt by RUetta's coldness He was nothing more than courteous now. . This angered Beatrice. Never be fore had she been out with any man who hadn't at least put his arm around her Dr Ash. however, was devoting all his attention to driv ing the car and made no attempt to guide It with only one hand. Beatrice tried sitting Just a little closer to him She tried the you-great-blg-man type of conversa tion Then she tried the poor-little-me line Nothing worked. Without a doubt. Carleton Ash was Just taking her home safely That was all. (To be continued) (The characters :n thit serial at, tctttUnai Major Shields enlisted in. the service In 1913.
