Pane Two CIRCUMSTANTIAL By CHRISTIE JACKSON. +**»a»AA**,ei+*+A*+m^++A*r.+*e>m>*e>m>e4 •> j). 1(11, *»' MvClur* New«p«p«r Symtlcalc ) Dr. Harden uiisv.ered the hospital phone Impatient .. —he whs read] to go out. "Emergency call" was all the voice said, but thai meant his evening was spoiled, for in Doctor Harden, us to most physicians, duty has to be Bret, love second. He took time only to call Evelyn Melden on the phone and tell her he COUld not spend the evening with her, and ask If he COUld call the next day. Then he matte ready to no to lb emergency ward. The patient, a man about thirty, hurt in an nine accident, lay on the operating •hie. He smiled whimsically as Doctor Harden hent over him. "Guess I shall make you quite a visit this trip." then his feci sobered, "When 1 am lit to he seen 1 wish you would Mad for Miss Evelyn Melden. Tell her Arthur wants to see her." Then the nurse tame busying her self about the patient end he sulci no more. For a moment everything Doctor Harden looked at was red, then he pulled himself together. It would never do to let his own personal feel ing get the upper bend, He did not know what the man's other name was— he did not care; he hated him with the unreasoning hate of Jealousy. But he forced himself to do his best. With swift, skilful hands he worked and soon had the patient ready to be put to bed. Doctor Harden went back to his room tortured by the thought of what this man meant to Evelyn. He knew that ln the morning he must send for her to come to the hospital; through the long hours of the night he learned what nerves were— what he had al ways called "women's nerves." if he tried to rend he saw the name "Arthur" on the printed page: if he closed his eyes the mime danced be fore him, and the words, "tell her Ar thur wants to see her," rung In his ears. So he passed the night, too un happy to think of sleep. Early In the morning he went to the man's room. The patient was rational and although suffering greatly he would be able to see cullers Inter in the day. His name was Arthur Mnr quay. To his great relief Evelyn did not answer the phone and he left the message for her. As he went his rounds among the suffering patients his own troubles were put out of his mind and he was the alert, skilled physician, giving kindly words of greeting and encour agement to his patients, anil orders to the nurses—then a lecture to a class of students. Re wns glad to be too busy to think. It was early In the afternoon when ii message came to him that Miss Melden wished to see him. He went to the office at once. It wns no use putting it off. he must see her. She was seated in a low wicker chair and appeared very charming with the troubled look that sympathy gave her. She rose as he entered. "How Is he? Will he live?" she asked hurriedly, her eyes searching his face, "Yes." he answered brightly, trying to get a grip of himself so that he would not betray his feelings. "Do tell me all about it. How did it happen?" He told her as well as he could, with her standing before him with clasped hands, the color coming and going In her face. "You see. I am so anxious about him. He Is engaged to Alice Wlnthrop and I am the only one who knows It. It would frighten her blue to get a telegram that he was hurt— she is away visiting her aunt. 1 wrote her this morning, telling her I wns not well and asking her If she would please come home today. I don't think it was wrong to say that, do you?" Evelyn looked up at him. Their eyes met. He stepped forward and took both her hands in his. "No, dear, I think it was fine of you to think of that way to get her home. Marquay will he us good ns new In a few weeks and she can come to see him every day; I will see to that." He hud called her dear unconclous- Ij ; he still held her hands. "I thought It was you. Evelyn, he was interested In" She turned her face away. ''1 was horribly Jealous." He was happy enough to make nny confession. "Were you?" she glanced up again. "Yes, and I want the right to be Jealous; may I have it?" "Pardon me. Doctor Harden, but Mr. Marquay wishes to know If he ni'ty see Mis* Melden?" Doctor Harden dropped Evelyn's hands and turned to the nurse who had quietly entered the office. "Tell Mr. Marquay I will bring Miss Melden to him at once." li*' wondered how much the nurse bad heard, but he was too happy to care. "I want ray answer before I take yon to him," he said M soon as the nurse was out of the room Evelyn blushed. "Well, I suppose if you are going to be Jealous any way, you may as well have the right."

So Alice tried doubly hard to look her best, but It seemed thai Lloyd was M "different," he never "enthused" about her appearance. Why didn't he' call her a "peach," "classy," and such things? Just to win some word of praise from him she had worked late the night before to finish the blue dress to wear today to the shore party where they, with the other members of the Pawling Avenue club,, had been Invited to visit Mrs. Carter's summer home. "You bet. It's prettier than any thing Vera ever had." The answer was aU that she could have hoped for, but some way It hurt for Alice knew It wasn't true and be lieved Lloyd said It Just to please her, because she expected him to. Oh If he would only rave nbout her the way fellows were supposed to "Why, my little girlie, what's the mntter? Have 1 gone and said the wrong thing again? Of course you look niceyou always look nice, to me." ••Yes—and I guess I do to other folks, too. I'm tired of your being so quiet and never noticing," she flung at him, and ran hastily up the beach to the cottage. A plan of action had already formed in Alice's mind. She had said she didn't care, and she would show Lloyd that she really didn't. p Not a bail looking "object," either, was Carl Houghton, arrayed In the sportiest of white flannels, and— his eyes were what Alice noticed. What admiration she read In them as she knew he was taking in every de tail of her dress. "Oho, my sweet Alice of the Alice blue gown, why dost thou waste thy fair beauty here {done? Sit you here by me and regard the laboring classes, toiling for our suppers in yon clam bed." " 'Twould give me greater pleasure than all other joys combined to while away the weary hours for thee," re plied Alice, laughingly, glad to find that her purpose was So easily to be accomplished, . Yet somehow her eyes kept wan dering down to the shore, where she could see that Lloyd was keeping rather near Vera, and that he was en joying the afternoon more than she was, she fell sure, as the sound of their merry laughter came to her ems. "Well," she thought, "1 guess he'll see now that her sport satin is pret tier than my dress." Soon the group passed from sight behind the boathouse, and Alice felt her spirits sinking lower as she saw that Lloyd and Vera were earnestly engaged In conversation. After that the afternoon seemed long Indeed. It was not until the crowd came back to supper that she enjoyed herself again. Alice later was carrying things into the pantry when she stopped sudden ly by the window. Some one outside was speaking and she overheard her own name. She paused to listen and recognized Carl's voice. "But, Vera," he was saying, "1 didn't say that Alice looked better than you do, I only said she had on a very neat dress, one much more ap propriate to an outing like this than yours. Of course I didn't mean that about Alice, because you always looS nice, to me." The familiar sound of those words made Alice smile as she went 00 *» her work. Perhaps It was a tired, , sad little smile, for when Lloyd can* I rushing into the kitchen a moment I Inter he exclaimed : I' "Why, sweetheartwhat's the art tea*—ull tired out? Where's Vert' Did she go and leave you alone with all this work? 'Frald of spoiling her skirt again probably." "Maybe, but I noticed that that same skirt seemed rather attract!" to you this afternoon," Alice replied-. sarcastically. l "Satin, was It? Humph. I did"' 1 notice what it was. All I know " she put In a pretty unhappy »ftlfj noon on account of It. She was to*' bllng over with her troubles. -* and Carl had some kind of quarrel-" "So you took upon yourself the *erj unpleasant task of heart-healer, .* something, I suppose." ; "Alice, be sensible, You and O" 1 seemed to be getting along rat^ well. I knew he was telling you " the things you like to hear, and fen was angry because she knew.' thought you looked so nice, tD*^ well, we decided to try to make J* both jealous and — ffj "And didn't you think I- lo<** nice?" ;,:.• -;>% "Why, Honey, of course 1 did.'
