Miss Whitman, please con sider yourself employed. Report for dutjr at eight tomorrow morning—and you'll pleass wear uniform and cap in the office.” Bo spoke Doctor Blair on the first of September when he en gaged Ilortense Whitman, trained nurse, as office assistant. "There’s just one thing," said Hor- tense. “The arrangement Is for me to be in the office every morning, Includ ing Sundays—with two afternoons off- a week. I shall not aak for nny full days—only if 1 should be atlll wfth you by the ISth of April I’d like to have the whole day off.” Doctor Blair studied the nurse as she made this request and for the first time realized how very young and naive she seemed—unbelievably so, thought Doctor Blair, after the wear and tear of hospital training. “It cornea on a Wednesday—" she was continuing. “Oh, that’s perfectly all right Of course you’ll still with me. I wouldn't take you on If I thought I was going to ha\a to dig op another nurse In such a •bort time. Of course you’ll have • day off now and then— that's qotts all right Hers.

It had not been easy to din Into the little five-year-old mind Just what Hor- tense meant, but when Bobby did grasp the Idea he waited in joyous ex pectation. So he made bis plans and until the morning of the 15th he re fused to tell hla aunt what they were. For breakfast Bobby wanted to eat on the “best dishes”—the few pieces of green glazeware that constituted liortense’s afternoon tea set, and ha , wanted to eat sitting on the floor. Hia aunt had also to sit on the floor. Thus far his wishes were simple and inex pensive. “Now,” said Bobby, jumping up and down with glee as Hortense washed up the dishes after breakfast “Now the party’s coming. <You don't know, do you?” "No,” assured Hortense. "Are you surer* quizzed Bobby. “Didn’t he tell you really and truly?

When you open boxes, take up car- peta, or do anything that produces a crop of bent nails, or useless tacks, sa\e them. Then, the next time you repot or transplant flowera, scatter the nails and tacks through the bot tom layer of the soil, set in the flowers or plants, and fill the pot with rich loam. When you water the plants the nails will rust; the product of this oxidation will enrich the soil re- * markably.

Once when Bobby had acquired • j Muck eye and another time when he had been rather painfully scalded on- the arm through a’too great eagerness to examine the mysteries of the radia tor In liortense’s little apartment. It was necessary to consult the doctor. On the latter occasion the doctor had to call at t/ie little flat to see the boy. And on thfrse few occasions the doctor had come'to know and like the young ster Immensely. It was Tuesday, the 14th of April. After afternoon office hours the doc tor sat at his desk consulting his en gagement pad to see what was on foot for the remainder of the afternoon. “Miss Whitman,” he called to Hor tense, who was sterilizing some Instru ments in the little operating room ad^ Joining, “you know you’re to have a day off tomorrow. It’s the 15th.” “Is It quite all right?” aiked Hor tense shyly, coming Into the doctor’s office. “I don’t want to inconvenience you—" “I’ve made no appointments for to morrow," said the doctor, “so I shall be able to maoafe.
