II 1: (Copyright, 1918. by McClure Newspaper ! Syndicate.) Eileen Walnwright, leaning back wearily against the eretonne-covered back of the piazza rocker, could not help overhearing the conversation going on jnst Inside the club window. At first the words bad no meaning, 1 for her own thoughts were busy with other things. Then She realized that some one, an often referred to "she," was most unpopular with the convere* || ers, and suddenly hearing her own name mentioned she realized that she herself was the subject of this un' pleasant discourse. j It was Mrs. Langdon Merrill talking i to her sister. Mrs. Enoch Cuthbert, about her son, Lionel Merrill and Eileen herself. j "Don't you see It all, Jennie?" said , Mrs. Merrill's voice. She's come back ; because she's tired of nursing. You know that's what both the Walnwrlght girls did after their father lost his money?trained for nurses. And as she an<f Lionel had a sort of boy and girl affair, she thinks she'll take it up now where they left ofT. I shouldn't worry about It. only the girl's a raving, tearing beauty. She's got that sort of ethereal look about her that appeals to a man. And she knows It, you can gamble, and she's going to play for big game. But she's not going to marry Lionel Merrill If I know anything. Just when he was beginning to take an Interest In Mary Evans?the very thing I've set my heart on all my life. I don't know what the Aberdeens meant by asking her here! Why didn't she go to France, where she's needed? I've no patience with nurses who don't go to France." There was more, but Eileen, dedd? ~v~ hunl annnvh ffflt TTO And II lug DUC uuu UIUIU 0_? left Her indignation had cooled to E qnlet amusement She joined the Aberdeens at the end of the terrace, watching a set of tennis. "Thirty?love," explained Jean Aberdeen as Eileen came up. "Lion Merrill and Mary Evans are winning." It was the first time Eileen had seen him for seven years, and she approved of what she saw. "Why didn't Lionel Join the army?" she asked Jean. "Why!" Jean's eyes were indignant "Because his mother wouldn't let him. It's a shame, when he wanted to go so. The set over, Lionel came up to the group on the terrace. "It's little Eileen back again," he said, taking her hand and looking searching!}* down into her eyes. "And she's come back a very _ beautiful lady?but It strikes me, a sad lady. We'll have to have a few parties to brighten her up, I see that." Eileen laughed and shook her head. "It's not a time for parties, Lionel. One can't feel festive these days." Mrs. Merrill arrived In time to hear the remark. "You're very patriotic. Miss Wain wright. One would think your patriotism would enrxy you across seas." Eileen's face clouded. "I wanted to go," she said simply. "My sister and I drew lots and she won." Several days passed in which Lionel Merrill managed to see Eileen very often. Then, one soft evening In June, when the stars were struggling through a long pale twilight, he told her he loved her. "Eileen, dear, I love yon," he said suddenly. "I can't let you go back to New York. I can't let you . go away again, my white angel." She drew away gently. "Lionel, we must not talk of love. It can't be. You see, I know your mother doesn't approve of me. And I'll never marry a man against his mother's wishes. Goodby,-dear boy. I must go In. And please don't try to see me again." Two days later Doctor ITarhlson ?""q Hnnmtitgira nt the Merrills', where Mrs. Merrill was anxiously watting for him In the hall. "It's pneumonia, Mrs. Merrill. Lionel must have a nurse right away. But there isn't an extra nurse in the state. "But what shall we do?" "I'm sure I don't know, Mrs. Merrill." "I have It," she exclaimed. 'There ! a girl?a nurse visiting near here. Per! haps she'll come." But her vole? was j unwilling. Mrs. Merrill herself called on the | telephone and stated her case. "I'm $orry," said Eileen. "My rest Is over, Mrs. Merrill. I must return to New York today. The babies and mothers need me. I'm pledgod to them and to the soldiers, if they need me : on this side. I can't take any one else." ! "But Lionel needs you, my dear Miss | Walnwrlght. If he were a soldier , would you nurse him?" I "Yes." | "Then, my dear, he'll be a soldier. ; He has always wanted to be one. it is i my fault he wasn't If I consent when ! he gets well will you come?" "Yes, I c:.n do that without breaking my pledge." "And Miss Walnwrlght! There Is another thing. I've been fearfully unkind. I?I think Lionel cares for you i a great deal. If you can forgive me, I | am going to ask you to be kind to him." "It seems," mused Eileen thoughtfully, as she hung up the receiver, "that It takes the fear of death to move some people's hearts. I often wonder It this war Isn't Just for that viry thing! Of course, I'd have gone, bay. dear, but It didn't hurt your mother to coax me?and It dldnt hurt her to i promise you to your country either, my I soldier." K*. " - / !
