THE LITTLE GIRL By HELEN WAITE MUNRO 1. 932, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. Nurse Crane was really responsible for it all. When she saw wealthy Charles Ladd's room full to overflow Iag with beautiful flowers, she sug gested that he send a few to "the lit tie girl across the hall," who had none. Big-hearted Charles Ladd gladly act ed upon the suggestion, without know Iag that the "little girl" was little only In Nurse Crane's eyes-had, in tact, reached the mature age of nine teen. "Who was lovely enough to send me these?"' Lois Wilson queried as she mnatched the roses eagerly and cud died them against her cheek. "Oh. a little boy across the hall, who had more than he wanted," Nurse Crane carelessly said, and immediate ly went away and forgot all about it. Lois sent a note of thanks the very next day. She printed It, to make sure the "litle boy" could read it-rather crooked printing at that-appendl ctis. So, of course, he printed his re ply, and the childlike correspondence flourished until his broken leg had mended enough to allow hin to go to the piazza, the very same day that she took her first trip there. It was Nurse Crane, as it happened, who Introduced the two, and her sur prise at the misunderstanding was equal to theirs at finding each other grown up. "Shall I play marbles with you, or will you play dolls with me?" Lois asked after the first astonished ques tions and answers were over. "Either, as long as we play together f nicely and don't quarrel," he respond- t ed, deciding that the hospital was not a quite the dreary place he had, up to now, considered it. a The morning passed quickly, with tl exchanged confidences and friendly ti conversation. So did the next, and sev oral more following, until the two I felt like very old acquaintances. Then came a day when heavy, pouring rain made the piazza impossible. Lols Ia her room gave up to the queer bodily aches and pains that had been grow- cl lag more and more troublesome through the night, and to the queerer I heart-ache which had been developing for several days. a Dr. Gordon looked grave when he found her so. Meanwhile, Charles was having troubles of his own. For several days I he had been annoyed by a very un- ut comfortable little conscience. Now he uS began to realize clearly the fact that * be, an honorable, upright young man, a engaged with all due formality to Miss Sylvia Preston and receiving lw daily dainty notes from her in her n" distant home, was falling deeply In love with Miss Wilson. is When at last that long, dreary day had worn to a close and Charles was poi trying to forget his perplexities and Lo attle down for the night, his atten- no tion was attracted to a subdued com- to motion across the hail At last a low moan reached him. He rang his bell co ftriouely and a nurse responded. His maulous Inquirie drew forth little n- y' hIrmation, however. He lay back on his pillow, great heads of perpliration standing on his frehead. "Lola--Lois," he whispered, ee Sad knew that in losing her he had or lest his mate-the one woman de- h igned for him. Kay It was thus that Nurse Crane foand a him when she made her morning cue rela. She looked keenly at hisr white, st face, smiled a wise little m'a amile and said softly: by "I wouldn't worry.
