Keep up good i I courage, and in a few weeks you will ' be about again. I will tell the house i doctor you are conscious," she con- ' tlnued, "and he will send word to your i home." ' "He'll have a Job to find it, I guess," . i said the boy, then adding suddenly: "I j must let my boss know, though." i "The head nurse will be here soon to J dill out your bedside card. You give i her your employer's telephoAe number, j ] and she will deliver any message you I wish," said Miss Ashby kindly. "I go J off duty now and will see you again In i the evening." j L. The boy's Intelligent eyes watched the slim little figure of the nurse as she passed between the rows of hods and out through "the large swinging mm doors. I Jimmy's head dropped back on the r I cool pillow, and a sigh of momentary, j 9 physical peace escaped him, I "She's just like the girl my boss nl- j I ways tells The about, and the tears are I always hanging 'round the corners of j M his eyes when he talks about her," he . I mused. I "Better today. Jimmy?" asked Miss p Ashby next morning, as she placed the ^ thermometer In his mouth. * J "I'm not going to whine, nurse," but ^ his slight movement caused a barely ^ perceptible {witching of the mouth. The nurse bent Over him, her cool hands bringing a wonderful peace. "Say, nurse," you've got hair that looks like gold in the sunlight, too, haven't you?" Jimmy's eyes glistened with the rec- : ollections of the man's description of the girl in his stories. "And eyes that j look like violets growing in the fields," i I lie continues. I "Oh, Jimmy, I do hope you are not getting worse." The boy became serious at once. "Sure not," he said reassuringly. "I'm lots better. I was only thinking atjout a glfil somebody told me about once. Fm thinking about something else, too, B Miss Ashby. If I don't get to work B by Monday I lose my Job. The boss B ' he?he sent word?and It's Saturday B now." fl "That's rldieulous, Jimmy. Don't B worry about that." fl "But you know, nurse, It's an awful fl hard beginning to a business career to fl lose your Job. I wouldn't lose mine fl for anything." B "You cannot possibly go to work by that time, Jimmy. What Is his ad- ^^ dress? I will go and see him my self." mam Jimmy's eyes brightened. "It's the ? Cumberland building, room 24. He's t alone about four o'clock in the after- gj noon, and that's the time I always ask i favors." " "All right, Jimmy: don't worry about It any more. Good-by, and I will tell g you all about It tomorrow." m His blue eyes never left the grace- ?g ful figure as she left the ward. "She's Just sunshine and violets," he g ?1J ami Mo i>nnt?ntaH ?

"The boss says you may stay until yon are absolutely well. And, Jimmy?" she was not looking at the boy now?"yon did not tell me his name, but | found I that?that I knew him very well. He did not understand about your fear of losing your place. What did you mean, dear?" Jimmy hesitated a moment, then said: "I wanted to do something for him, nurse. Tou see, he used to tell f me a story every day when he came I to bring me things, and every story g had a girl In It. *nd one day I said = to him: That's Just like Miss Ashby.' = 44 'What do you krow about Miss Ash- B by?* he asked; and then I told him you was my morning nurse. s " 'I used to see her real often mim once, Jimmy," A said to me after a while. "'Not now?' I said. If you'd seen ^ her once, I shouldn't think you'd ever I want to stop.' I "T didn't,' he said; 'she wont nee g me.' 8 "And then. Miss Ashby, I lied to you. p He never told me I'd lose my Job if I wasn't there Monday. I kept thinking about all he had done for me. and I knew he wanted to see you badly; so I lied to get you go see him again." I The blue eyes cjosed; gentle lips I pressed' the brow. In her voice was the sweet tones of old. | "He's going to be my boss, too, Jim, my," she whispered softly In his ear, 1 "and you are going to live with us." ! Jimmy did not answer, but he knew how violets glowed when life was In i thfcm. i Rub-My-Tism is a great pain killer.
