Need Is Urgent ,
' The need for a hospital for English
peaking patients is very urgent.
Anerlcan firms are opening branches
In Constantinople every week. This
has become a great rendezvous for the
American navy. The Young Men's
Christian association and Young Wom
en's Christian association have large
organizations, in addition to many re
lief and missionary bodies, which are
constantly In need' of hospital space
tor their personnel.
t'nder the direction of the Constan
tinople unit of the American commit
tee for Telle f fn the neaf East, en
open-air hospital for tuberculous chil
dren has also been established on the
store of the Hosporus a - few miles
north of Constantinople. .. This hos
pital Is under the direction of Dr.
Hfie Richards Graff. It has 50 beds,
tad Is designed as a model institution
which the Americans hope to get the
Tnrklsh, Greek, Armenian and Jewish
immunities to duplicate.
The new American hospital r has

Old Aunt Cell* uttered the word#
In a shrill cry of excitement an4 alan*.
She hobbled ? "lowly after her niece,
Lesbla Darrow, at the lattoc dashed
down the porch atepa and ont to tho
atreet.
Tturllled by what she had *lewod,

breathlessly padsed at the aldo of the

It was that of a man Rightly older']

ahe bad noticed him crossing the road,

never sounding the horn's warning, I
and when their machine struck the

Tho doctor was called on the tele- J
phone by Mr. Barton.and looked seri

bad g??h at the back of the head and
one lower limb sprained. He looked
over the. clothing of the patient. There
was nothing found except a purs? con

Drake, with no address. There was
no hospital In the little town, and
Aunt Cella. always sympathetic and
geWerous hearted. Insisted <!?n shelter

looked intensely grateful and^ in
terested when the doctor told him of his
environment and the kind souls who
had sacrificed their poor means and
time to see that he was cared for
The physician told him that 't woUld I
be several weeks before he would be
able to get about,, and recommended
hospital treatment.
"Not If these dear ladles will let me
stay here," objected Alton DraKe. *1
haven't had a home for many a year,
doctor, and this seems like one, in
deed, I shall see that these people
are well paid for their trouble."
"I don't think the gentle souls have
ever thought of that," respdnded the
physician. "They are not of that
"Truly, indeed, I have fnlly.reallzed
that," murmured the invalid grate
fully. ' -
He was strong enough to discuss
with Aunt Cella the event of retain
ing him as a regular boarder till he
recovered, | and- she showed, am e
knew, that the opulent 'sum he named
1n reimbursement meant a great deal
to her. He was attended diligently,
and as he came back to normal aunt
and niece formed a decided liking for
him.
v "We haven't had time to do any of
our old-Un\e> since he came,"
observed Lesbla, as she and her aunt
sat In the gloaming. Her tones wer?
low and cautious, for she had noticed,
that their patient was asleep In the
next room.
"You want to get back to the old
enjoyment of building houses In the |
air?" smiled Aunt Cella. "Dear! dear I
what filmy castles we have construct
i'oai* ? ? "
It had been a favorite and pleasur
able enjoyment for those two lonely
souls to pass a visionary hour Imag
ining and then planning what they
would do "when their ship came in."
It always ended foi a new home such
as carried out -their longings for a
domestic palace. Aunt Cella craved
a sun parlor, Lesbia's. desire .was a
cozy little library. Once started now,
they babbled like two Innocent chll
dred over their dream toys."
... "Oh, dear I Mr. .Drake is awake,"
suddenly exclaimed Aunt Cella.
They could catch the echo of dis
tinct chuckling, and then the words:
*111 remember that vision house when
I get well, see If I don't I"
It was not until he was able to get
about readily that Jie told them who
he was ? "a lonely bachelor with some
money/' $nd he sent for a portion of
the same the day he said good-by and
left them, promising tluft they should
see him again before fall.
Oftfrrt they thought of him after he
had departed, constantly Lesbia's
thoughts held his bright, pleasing ways
in memory, and one lovely morning
he drove up in an autqpioblle. "Want
to show you somethlqg, ladles," he
hailed them, waving a paper roll. "See
j that?it's a house Just built and all fin
ished, and it's yours."
There It was, the palace they had
planned, and a few hours Iftter the
auto conveyed them to the house they
lad so often held In ecstatic vision.
there's only one thing more I wish
to say,** observed Drake. 'Td like to
