Sellars finally found himself asking. It had taken a while to penetrate, but he finally realized that something was amiss. The very atmosphere of the clinic seemed changed. Gone was that warm comradeship, that mutual, if often silent, understanding. The- air seemed to crackle with tension.

"Wrong?" Cynthia repeated, in that new, cool, detached manner. She was -busy putting everything away at the end of another long, full day, and she did not look up. "What could be wrong? I'm sure I don't know what you mean." "You aren't sick, are you?" The 'oung doctors' keen eyes observed icr. Her color was high. Her eyes ioo bright.

'It may not be called upon, as I don't believe Mrs. Mancini will try to take it to court. You know how those people are that district all of them afraid of the law If only they'd learn it's on their side when they're in trouble." Cynthia agreed with him. Yet she could not help feeling relieved that there would be no trouble. It might have served Norman Brandt right, however.

Especially if he had not tol'd the truth about driving the car. As thouph in answer to this, Dan Masters said, "You know that young fellow wasn't driving his-own car. When I asked him for the license number, he didn't even know it. He had bis driver's license all right. Said the car longed to "a friend.

A Miss Reba Raye Say, come to think of it, she'd be that singing star, wouldn't she?" "She might be," Cynthia agreed, i So Norman Brandt ran around -with actresses. Not that Cynthia had anything against actresses. But it just went to show that he was that kind of man. Whatever, kind that was, she amended somewhat vaguely. "Well, anyway," Officer Masters continued, "he's done all he could for the little fellow he hit.

Got him a high-priced doctor, a private room, and nurses. So I guess I won't charge him with speeding or reckless driving, unless you want to change story about the accident i unavoidable." Here was her chance to a that she felt certain a Brandt had not been behind the wheel. But could she swear to that? And if it had been Reba Raye who had been driving, andj Norman wanted to shield her.j Cynthia ought not blame i At least not too much. "I still think it was unavoidable," she said. "Well, now, I guess that will be all, then." Dan Masters got to his feet.

"I won't be bothering you any longer. It's been a nleas- ure, Miss, to meet the nurse lady. I've been hearing about you for some time now. And of course everybody knows Doctor Sellars and what a grand job he's doin' for those poor kids. Now there's a man for you, Miss!" Cynthia have been in hebrty agreement as to that.

She felt her color rising once more 'as she ushered the big, friendly policeman to the door. The problem, she thought, was to make Walt realize that he was the man for her and that she was the woman for him. Why, they could go on this way, working side by side, day after day, week, month after month Walt would never up unless lm got a good jolt.
