for dinner? Surely by dinner time she would know where the injury lay. Jerry was no match for the highpowered Julie. He went to dinner, and before he quite knew how it happened, he was going back for cocktails, back for other dinners at Julie's bidding. Part of his interest in the new friendship was amusement at the vital Julie. Part of it was a deep hurt at the behavior of the gentle Ann. How could he guess that Ann was accepting the attentions of young Jack Bogert for no other reason than to persuade the boy to use his influence with his father to try and end the animosity of the influential older Bogert against Jerry? Jack Bogert didn't care why Ann went dancing with him, so long as she went. He was head over heels in love with the beautiful nurse, and he was determined to marry her, whether she loved him or not. PERHAPS he would have had his way, perhaps the tender thing that had been growing between Jerry and Ann would have been distorted into a permanent misunderstanding, a lifelong hurt, had not Fate stepped in. Julie was not one to wait in maidenly hope until she was asked in marriage. She believed in knowing what she wanted and getting it. On a week-end at which all four of them were guests in a mountain cottage, Julie took advantage of the witchery of the moonlight, of her own great attractiveness and teased Jerry f ot* 3 kiss "You love me!" she cried, joyously triumphant as she felt Jerry's strong arms about her. "I knew it! We were fated for each other. Oh, Jerry, forget that mild little nurse! You might as well, because she's after Jack Bogert's money. Can't you see? Are you blind?" She pressed her lips to his again. In the middle of that kiss, Ann and Jack walked into the room. If ever Ann needed the iron control of a nurse, she needed it in that moment when she felt all her dearest hopes tumbling. She left the cottage for the short run back to town, early in the morning. Her mind was in a whirl of misery. Hardly knowing what she was saying, she promised to marry the insistent Jack, and hurried into the house to seek comfort from the understanding Penny. But, for once, Penny failed her. It was a frightened Bun, who met her at the door and told her that Penny had collapsed with a sudden heart attack. "Why haven't you called Dr. Malone?" Ann demanded fiercely. He had called the doctor right away, Bun explained tearfully. Miss Julie had said the doctor wouldn't be back at the cottage until late afternoon. Ann's face grew stern. "I'll get the doctor. He's right there in the cottage, where I left him half an hour ago." When Jerry realized how nearly Julie had caused Penny's death by delaying his return with a selfish lie, he told her coldly just what he thought of her, and turned with a fresh feeling of freedom to a strangely troubled Ann. "You can't!" he cried in shocked protest when she told him she was going to marry Jack. "I won't let you ... I " "I've promised him," Ann replied miserably. "Oh, Ann, my dear ..." Jerry APRIL, 1940 started toward her and then checked himself. "I guess I don't know what I am saying. I wish you every happiness, of course," he finished stiffly and went to his laboratory, mentally berating himself for a clumsy fool. All he wanted, all he needed most had been waiting in the lovely person of Ann, and he had not had the wit to do anything about it, to sidestep the silly overtures of Julie, until it was too late and he had lost Ann to the worthless son of a dishonest father. This business about a doctor having no right to let romance hinder his career . . . Bosh! Young Dr. Malone's heart gave a wild leap at an ugly thought, a few days later when he was speeding through the night on an emergency call. He did not look at Ann's white face across the operating table on which lay the limp body of Jack Bogert. Why couldn't Jack have ended his life in that automobile crash? Why did he have to live, Jerry thought rebelliously. Then he pushed the whole hideous speculation from his mind, swept his surgeon's brain clear of everything but the necessity for his greatest skill. Jack's injuries were as bad as they could be. The most delicate of brain operations was his only hope, and that a slim one. Jerry steeled his mind, shook his head once, laid the shining knife with a firm hand against the skin and watched the thin line follow its cut. And later he watched with wistful pangs, the relief in Ann's face when he told her that Jack would not be paralyzed, that his sight would be saved, that he would recover. "Jerry, that was the most wonderful operation I ever hope to see, and you are the most wonderful man I ever heard of," breathed Ann. "There's nothing I wouldn't do for you," Jerry answered soberly. "I hope I've given you back what you really want." Before Ann could answer, he turned away, unable to face the look of loving admiration in her eyes. JACK'S recovery was slow. Queru■' lously he demanded Ann's presence for long hours and the girl grew pale and thin under the strain of giving him the reassurance, the peace and happiness necessary to his recovery. Jerry made one appeal to her to forget her engagement, but she listened to him with a controlled, averted face. "I promised," she said woodenly. "He's never had anything to believe in. If I fail him now, you know what it will do to him. I'm going through with it." There she was wrong. She had not reckoned with the discarded Julie, with Julie's vast distaste for a quiet exit from Belmore, or with the little hidden streak of sweetness in Julie which made her realize that Jerry would never find happiness if Ann were lost to him. A strange, dangerous, confused, troubled girl, Julie. But Jerry had reason to remember her kindly all of his life. Julie waited until Jack was completely well before she made a move. Then, with the forthright coolness of a girl who will have her own way, she asked him, bluntly, to marry her. Jack was speechless with astonishment. He had been madly in love with Julie, before he met Ann and Julie had never treated him with more than teasing scorn. "Ann doesn't love you, and you know it," announced Julie flatly.
