The Harvey fiirls

"Not to speak of." The Judge

, gave the answer which, he theoriz-

ed. would most promptly bring about his release.

"Just so. As I thought. Our first concern must be to relieve this drain, already too long con- tinued. upon your vitality. A little whiff of chloroform, a few stitches, and we shall be up and about in a week."

As Dr. Gibson was later to veri- fy, the noted surgeon who, to do him justice, was a thoroughly com- petent workman, performed an ef- ficient oioture. Lying buck hap- pily that evening, with a satisfy- ing slug of the long-forbidden “red-eye" comforting his stomach, Judge Purvis felt excellent.

A pink and flustered nurse came down the hallway from Judge Pur- vls’: rOOm. to intercept Dr. Gibson on his regular noon visit next clay. "What's this?" he demanded. "Anything wrong?"

The bewhiskered face of Dr. Mc- Vay, the' Capitol City physician, appeared at the stolrhead. I-le ad- dressed his colleague with some evidence of nervousness. "Miss Cullen has explained to you, I sup- pose."

“What have you been doing. to my patient"

“I ain't accountable to you for my handling of the case." Incautiously he placed himself between his questioner and the sick room door. Dr. Gibson's hand on his shoulder spun him like a nine- pln, and like a ninepin he toppled and rolled. The other pushed open ‘the door. Judge Purvis and Sheriff Whately were about to have a friendly drink. The sheriff. after a quick look at the intruders face. slipped his right hand under his armpit. But Gibson's voice was quiet a she said, "What's this all about?"

"You're out. That's all.” answer- ed the patient with a surly grin. "Did they close the wounds?" "Sure they closed ‘cm. 0ughta've been done long ago."

Dr. Gibson drew a deep breath. There was something suspiciously like pity in his expression when he slowly spoke. "why, you poor, half-baked iool."

"Now, new, Doc!" protested the sheriff. “Be a' gentleman, can- cheh?" ' The physician paid no heed to him, but concentrated on the pati- ent. "Fire that bearded nlncom- poop and I'll open you up while there's time. I'm giving you your chance."

For the briefest of momgn‘ , dread flickered in the patienfs pale pig's eyes. It died arwey. "Get out of_ here," he growled. “I'm alt through with you." “Good-bye," said Gibson solemn- Before noon the next day Nurse Cullen was at the office again. Her heavy, persplring face show-

ed signs of perturbation. "I'm worried about my patient, Dr. Gibson." she began. "I think he

would like to see you, but he's too pighesded to admit it." . Dr. Gibson could understand find respect the feeling of a conscienti- ous and intelligent nurse for her patient. "I'd like to help you. Miss Cullen," he said. "But there's nothing I can do while mother doctor is in charge."

It was no surprise to the doc- tor to see the anxious face of Miss Cullen before office hours. In spite of his annoyance he admired her persistence.

"You've got to come. Doctor," she said.

"The other doctoam”

"He's gone. Judge Purvia threw a whisky bottle at his head."

tension toward built-up shoulders, scalloped neckline and shoulder ef- fects and more attention to fine de- tail such as stitching. exquisite French embroidery and hand-cro- cheting. * These were the highlights of a custom-made collection of Jay Thorpe originals for Spring and Summer.

A Paris-decreed two-piece suit dress with box jacket in natural shsntung was belted in the same navy wool as the straight skirt. An interesting innovation was the curved belt, girdle-like in the back and tapering to a sllmnesa in the front, featured in many suits and dresses.‘

Hand-Knit Models

Among the appealing hand-knit personalitleswas a two-piece cos- tume in a new shade of hyacinth with n narrow pleated-effect skirt and classic jacket with collar in hand-crochet. Another model in nil-white ribbed hand-knit had a hand-pleated skirt and short swea- ter top belted in navy, set off with

HATS ENTIBELY FLOWER- TOPPED

Paris-Hats covered entirely with flower petals are peculiar to the Paulette collection.

Claude St. Cyr, favoring the smoother straws rather than pail- laason types, chooses colorful fruit trimmings, A navy-blue cloche has cherries and miniature peaches dangling over the side of the close- ly rolled brim

Irregular brlms are not uncom- mon. Several houses show rather large hats drawn out in a pleated fanilke effect on the right side.

Some of the most effective hat ornaments shown in Paris at the moment are being turned out by Marcel Norry. Most are of the long pin type, such as Rose Valois uses, and in this house one sees amusing ideas in the shape of little badger-brushes mounted in gilded. hands on the ends of long pins, al well as thistle shapes topped by tufts of bleached badger hairs.

the terrible grind, and whose bodies lay they knew not where.

One morning Slim Jim whitened to find his companion fast in death. Close beside the corpse stood the spirits of his wife and two boys. It was n frightening scene. but some- how Slim did not seem to mind their press-nee. Nor did the death of Webster trouble him. The per- tition which divided the dead from the living was so thin he could not be sure on which side he stood. HO did not oven bury his friend, but plodded along. hoping and praying for he knew not what.

At inst he reached the nccurael gold ficlds—u human wreck with no more thoughts of riches. All he wanted now was a grave of hi! own.

The group of miners who saw DI human skeleton moving toward! ihem thought it was a ghost and flecl from their digging.

In another pocket they found I tlntypc picture of Slim himself, h- gcthcr with u brief daily record o! their journey and misfortunes right up to the day of Webster's death. including the story of the three spirits.

Judge Purvls tried to sit up as Gbson entered. "I reckon I've been a fool. Docl" he said thickly. "I'm diagnosing this case, not you. Lie hack."

The diagnosis was only too plain- ly indicated in the flushed face and staring eyes. Within the ab- dominal cavity. the flame of in- fection was raging like a forest fire. There was not a moment to lose. "We're going to open 3'0" up and wash out that poison," he said. "You'll have to give the anesthetic, Miss Cullen."

"I've done it before, Doctor." “Am I going to die, Doc?" "Not if we can help it. Breathe deep, now."

Washing out that posioned area was a long and difficult task. At best. the operator could hope to get it only partly clean. Whethl the vitality oi the body could with- stand the forces of infection re- maming, would determine the is- sue.

Long experience had immunised him to false optimism. Nurse Cul- len was instructed to answer all queries evasively. Gibson himself took refuge in the convenient, ac- curate and falsely reassuring for- mula, that the patient was "doing as well as could be expected." To Clay, when he came in. the bald truth was told. What did he propose to do? He frowned. "I'll have to think it over." - . 1-1pm: quick. There may not be much time."
