Once a pa- lent dies, a physician is fiee to discuss his case; Galeazzi-Lisi con- ended. The council accused Galeazzi- Jsi of seeking "to achieve profit." added he "gravely compromised his own reputation and the dignity of the medical class." "The actions constitute an nfraction of medical ethics because a professional physician cannot divulge facts which he earned through his professional activity," the council said. Galeazzi-Lisi's articles, based on a diary he kept while attending the i pontiff, appeared about 10 days after the Pope died.

CHAPTER EIGHT POOR BLUE BIRD "THE professor led Charlotte Esteban into the'room next to that of his sleeping wife. They could see it was a large and well furnished room. But the windows were barred.

"I will bring your meals and 5 ee that you are comfortable," said the professor kindly. "But you cannot get out until Christmas Day when I have destroyed the Hangdog Hag." "But, father!" begged Charlotte. "What good will it do? destroying the Hag will not jrinj mother back again!" "Perhaps not," said the pro- "essor. "But it will keep the Hag iroin casting a spell over anyone else." "B-but, sir," protested Esteban. "Must you destroy all Fairyland, too?" The professor nodded unhap- oily.

"Yes, if that is the only way I can reach the Hag." Then he went out and bolted the door. Through the long night the children huddled together until near morning they fell into a restless sleep.

"Fly to Santa Land, little blue bird. Fly for help!" "Fly to Santa Land, little blue bird. Quickly! Fly for help!" He reached his hands through the bars of the window and released the bird. She spread her wings and gently glided down towards the great stone wall surrounding the castle. Esteban watched eagerly through, the bars.

"Now everything will be all right!" he cried. But even as he spoke an awful thing happened. A great hawk, perched atop the castle, saw the little blue bird and, shrieking fiercely, swept down after her. The blue bird saw the hawk coming and changed her course. The hawk followed.

The blue bird flew faster and faster So did the huwk. "Faster, faster!" screamed Esteban. i DUT it was no use. As the chil- dren watched the hawk overtook the blue bird, fastened its huge talons around her and brought her back to its nest on top the castle. Charlotte burst into tears.

Esteban put his arm around her. "Don't worry. I'll think of something, he comforted her. For two days he thought. On the third day he had his plan.

He put Charlotte in her bed and piled all the covers on her and told her what she must do. At noon the professor brought on their dinner. "Oh sir," said Esteban. "Charlotte has a terrible chill. See she can't stop shaking!" The professor turned to his daughter.

Under the covers she was shaking and quivering with such violence that even the floor beneath the bed creaked and rattled. "Good heavens!" cried the professor. "I'll get hot water bottles!" White-faced, he rushed away so quickly that he failed to bolt the door behind It worked!" cried Esteban to Charlotte. And he ran from the room.
