- 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

ne had another girl tight here with
rum? 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.

PLUCKY BOXER
McAulifle's fight with Billy Myers on February 13, 1889. began like any other In that era.
However, in the eighth round McAuliffe threw a punch and broke his right arm between the
wrist and elbow. From then on until the sixty-fourth round McAuliffe Jabbed with his left,
bluffed with his useless right, kept Meyers at a respectful distance. After the draw decision had
been made, McAuliffe had his arm set in the ring1 Then he went to get his shar of the fight,
only to find that burglars had taken all the proceedsl In bis entire career, McAuliffe never
lost a fight.
