LOVE AND A SCRAP BOOK

(Continued.) "Which f ootr ~ "Thelefb." With the word came an Involuntary movement and a, sharp cry as the spasm of pain followed. "Don r t move it," he said hastily, and In a matter of f act way he raised her skirt and looked. Feeling, not seeing, her surprise, for his eyes did not wander to her face, he said simply, "I am a physician.** Then, though he was too busy to know it, sex asserted itself, and if he 'had look ed at her face instead of her foot he would have seen a pretty picture, most Interesting to a philosopher, though per haps not to one of his school, he being profoundly materialistic. Margaret Latimer was incapable of the petty trivialities of protest that a weak woman would hare made. It did not occur to her to make an outcry and affect Equeamishness, but her eyes flash ed flre. Fanning, had he seen her face, must have humbled himself m abject apology, brusque and harsh as he was, but fortunately he was entirely ignorant of her indignation, and took the swollen ankle m his hand without the slightest hesitation. To her it was as if the ground had opened under her. To be touched ana gazed at m this fashion was simply in comprehensible. Her face, that was marble a moment before, became sud denly like a damask rose. Her eye told her that Fanning was a gentleman, and ' his touch proved that he was truthful m claiming to be a physician, but The ready penknife was cutting away the substantial boot. When that waa off it passed steadily and swiftly around above the ankle, and with one downward sweep destroyed the stocking. Then came again the most excruciating pains as his skillful fingers pressed gently here and there. ; Physicians say there is an order of high intelligence which belongs to a portion of the human race and which makes most difficult patients. Even sickness and pain fail to subdue it, and one gifted with it is as recalcitrant under treat ment as a lawyer's client who lias a smattering of legal knowledge. He will oppose theories, question methods and even refuse medicaments that do not ap prove themselves to his mind, and double the doctor's task by forcing him to over come mental obstinacy together with physical ailment. The surgeon meets with less of this passive resistance than the physician, since his work is not com monly complicated with mental process es, but there are cases m which he must first reduce his patient to submission be fore he can proceed with treatment. Such a case, to his great surprise, Dr. Fanning found this to be. Amazement kept this young woman silent for a few moments. The unprece dented situation — at least it seemed so to her — bewildered her, and strong as she was it was a little time before she could decide whether to submit to this benevolent stranger or not. At length she decided. "Stop a moment, doctor," clie said quietly. Fanning looked up. He turned his face merely. The hand wliich still held her ankle was as rigidlj immovable as if it were graven out of steel. "I know that the pain is intense," lie said kindly, "but it is inevitable that you must suf fer it. There is a bone broken, and it must be set." "It is not the pain that I am thinking of," said Miss Latimer; "that is bad enough, but the situation is worse, i ' am more than thankful for your kind ness, but we will suspend operations for the present. My house is only half a mile away, and I prefer to wait until I can be taken home before I am treated." Fanning looked at her closely and thought he understood lier. The flush had not left her face, and it lent unusual beauty to a countenance that showed the highest breeding as well as marked in telligence. As if she had spoken all her thoughts, he knew that even m her pain ful plight she was mindful of the pro prieties, and that the ministrations which she would have accepted as a matter of course if her mother had been present were simply insupportable under the cir cumstances. To her it seemed that virgin pride was asserting itself. To him it seemed that she was the slave of a fool ish conventionality. He did not hesitate an instant. "Bosh.!" he exclaimed roughly. "I shall not allow you to be moved until the bone is properly set and your ankle is bandaged." And without more ado he turned his attention to his business, which, as he conceived it, was to see that no further injury should come to hex foot. I It was perhaps well for him that he did not look at her face again for a time. For her the world seemed to have come to an end. Here was a male of her spe cies who not only set her expressed wish at defiance, but who was actually hand ling her person as if she were the tools of his trade instead of a rebellious princesa of society. Evidently "the divinity that doth hedge about" a maiden had no let- ! rors for him. He was to her first a man, and secondly a physician. She was to him first a patient, and secondly — noth ing whatever. Pride would not allow her to make further protest m words. One movement as if to arise, and, confronting, to slay him with her eyes, gave her such, a pang that she recognized her powerlessnesa again. Then, like a destroying flash of lightning, came a single throb of^agony when the bone slipped into place and all became a blank. But even as she swooned away into unconsciousness she was raging like an insulted empress at the single word "steady," which lie had spoken coolly when she moved first. Once more Fanning looked up, after ha had satisfied himself that the bone was properly set. "H'm! fainted again, eh," he said to himself without emotion. "That's well. Now we'll get this bound up, and then see to getting her home." And forthwith the handy penknife was at work again, whittling out some rude splints. In his skillful fingers it moved rapidly, and a few minutes more were enough to put matters right so far aa thoy could be put. Nature must do the rest. The second swoon was deeper than the.
