She ran into love and trouhle when the met DR. BOB BENCHLEY â€" hero, handsome, young; interne. He had trouble, too, keeping up with brilliant DR. STEPHEN SARGENTâ€" head (urgeon. Dr. Sargent's problem wa< tomething eUe again. Last week: Opportunity comes to Tran when she acts at inter- preter for an Italian patient. She doe* not notice that tomeOne en- ters the room as she quiets the in. jured man. CHAPTEK VII Tran FeeU "Power" Tran did not notice that when Dr. Benehloy was about to inter- rupt with a swift question, some- one who stood in the background stopped him with a quick, low word. She only knew that the eyes of the man on the table clung to hers for reassurance, and that under her hand the quivering in his arm lessened, *,he tense muscles relax- ed. . . . And for the first time in her life, Tran felt power. It wa.'! something entirely apart from the quickness of mind that made it to easy for her to learn from books, or the deftness that made play of manual tasks .It was the sense of powei that comes from having strength to lend to another in need of strength. She did not know how long she stood so without looking up â€" feel- ing quivjri.'-.,or muscles relax under her fingers and the calm assur- ance of her voice â€" before a white- clad nurse came with an orderly and wheeled the patient away. It wa.s only then that Dr. Bench- ley said with the irony of a pa- tience too long strained, "If it is not too much to ask, it might be interesting to get some idea just what that was all about." Tran lifted her head and ans- wered absently out of the uplift of that newly discovered sense of power, "He thought he was dying. I told him it was going to b« all right." "As simple as that, eh?" com- mented Dr. Bcnchley dryly. Tran did not answer.

Once outside, Tran found that her knees were shaking so help- lessly that she had to cling to the wall as she went along the corri- dor. So that was what Miss Philbin meant when she talked about "giv- ing to the patient." There was another thing about that evening that Tran never knew. A Hard-Headed Surgeon Relaxe* Late that night, Dr. Sargent, coming from the operating room gray with fatigue, halted in the corridor outside Miss Armstrong's office at sight of light framed by the transom, knocked, and went inside. Miss Armstrong, her cap slight- ly askew, was brooding over a -sheaf of reports. At this time of year Miss Armstrong often brooded well into the morning over the reports of her students. "Hm!" grunted Dr. Sargent. ".\nd so on â€" far into the night, I suppose. And this is the hard- boiled lady who sends her girls to bed at 10.30." "I might say, 'And this is the head-surgeon who rides his sub- ordinates for turning up red-eyed for want of sleep, and then piles a midnight charity operation on top of a full schedule'." . . . Well, how did it go, Stephen?" Mi.ss Armstrong had been super- visor of surgical nursing at Saint Vincent's when Stephen Sargent had been the rawest of young in- ternes. "Kuplured before I could get to it," he said, sliding down in his chair and thrusting his hands in- to his pockets, his long legs stretched out before him. "The poor devil had a wife and three children, and couldn't make up his mind to take a chance till, this ev- ening, the thing hit him like a bomb shell." He took a silver case from his pocket, extracted a cigarette, and lighted it. "You really do smoke too much, Stephen," Miss Armstrong said as if from force of habit; but her niind was obviously not on her words. "Just what I was telling young Henchley about himself not two hours ago," he agreed with a wry grin. " 'Young Henchley'," the white- haired woman echoed musingly. ".And not so many years ago you wore 'young Sargent.' . . . How old are you, Stephen? Thirty-six, isn't it? . . . Pretty young for a man to have taken the hurdles you have. ' "Tell young Henchley that,'' he grinned. "He thinks I have one foot in the grave already. And do you know, Armstrong, I'm not .so sure he isn't right. I've reached the stage where all thi.s (laming youlli underfoot iiround hore gets me tlowii sometimes . . . But what I came about is one of your probationers." "Ah?" said Miss Armstrong, and glanced with a sigh at the pile of reports under hor folded hands. Tran It Discussed "By a strange coincidence," Dr. Sargent went on, staring at the ceiling, and luxuriously wreath- ing his head in smoke, "it's the one who was up in courtâ€" togeth- er with young Henchiey - a month or so ago â€" the one with the eyes like saucers and the tongue-in-the- cheek look who goes around devil- ing everyone with ((Uestioiis. . , . What is it they call her?" "M various stages of her career •Itility' and '.Agility.' . . . Lately, 1 believe, it's been 'the Klephant', Child' because, a.i you suggest, she goes around asking queations. . . . I suppose she's been asking you .some?" Stephen Sargent chuckled. "Far from it. She takes .t on the lam if she sees me coming a half mile down the corridor. Somebody's told her that I eat little girls alive." "So you've noticed it," inurmur- eil Mi.<s Armstrong with a littU secret smile ."Well, what is your complaint?" "What would your guess be?" he countered quizzically. "Well, the general opinion ainonf her seniors seems to b« that she is temperamentally un- fitted for nursing." "More interne trouble?" he ask- ed, watching a smoke wreath curl to the ceiling without meeting her eyes. "There have been rumors." She eyed him steadily and asked with resignation, "Something new, I sup|x>se?" "What else seems to be wrong with the gal?" Dr. Sargent coun- tered. ".\n overdeveloped sense of hu- mor for one ting. . . . 'The tongue- in-tho-cheok lo.)k,' I think you call- ed it. Some of her instructors complain of that. There seems to be an amazing difference of opin- ion. Miss I'hilbin, who has hor ill demonstration, says she has sel- dom seen such concentration and such deft, sure workmanship. . . . Miss Miller, under whose super- vision she had sometimes worked in the wards, confirms that, but tells me that she is emotionally unstable." A Nurte Should Put "Herself" In Her Work "Hm! I doubt if Katherine Miller would recognize an honest emotion if she met it naked in broad daylight," Stephen Sargent said with a sudden flatness of tone that made the director of nursing glance at him sharply. "I shouldn't be so sure of that," she said, a dry smile in her shrewd dark eyes. "Even so, it is pretty well known that the unemotional Miss Miller is your first choice for the operating room." "Naturally," he agreed. "She has the quickest eye, the coolest intelligence, the deftest hands of all the nurses I have ever worked with. She'd have made a damned good surgeon if you ask me. But do you know, Armstrong, I've sometimes wondered, if I were down and out and hurting like the devil and scared within an inch of my life â€" the way ge get them ev- ery day â€" whether a quick eye, a cool intelligence, and deft hands would be all I'd need. Katherine Miller might be perfect â€" the per- fect nurse, I mean, of course â€" if she'd put one more ingredient in- to her work." He broke off abruptly. "Well, I'm still listening," Miss Armstrong prompted. "Herself," he finished. She thought, perhaps she would if you were the patient, Stephen, my lad. Aloud, she said, "After all, it was poor little Utility we were talking about, wasij't it? . . . Whose chief fault seems to be that she puts a devastating amount of herself into everything she does. . . . Well, I believe you had a complaint?" "I didn't know I'd said anything about a complaint. But," Dr. Sargent added slowly, "I have had something forced upon my atten- tion which I think might interest you." (To Be Continued) South Seas Motif Seen On Beaches Barbaric Jeweilry To W««r With Gaudy Gay Rag« Printed cottons and linens and rayons In exotio designs of the flora and fauna of the South Seas, in the most vivid colorings, are used for beach frocks, for shorta, for coolie jackets, and full blouses worn with wido slacks (Ihat Just escape being a divided skirt) In a bright, plain color or in the shades of beach sand or lava dust. The same gay printed designs are also seen in fullsklited day and even- ing growns. Barbaric accessorios â€" necklaces and bracelets of sea shells, shark's teeth, wooden beads, tarnished brass and copper; wide belts of the crudest embroidery, round beach baskets of woven roeds with sand- als to malcli; wide-brimniod hats with spindly steeple-crowns on the round "coolie" shapes with a knot ot seaweed on the top â€" add to the Tahltian atmosphere of the French seasido resorts. Plain or printed cottons, linens, and shantungs have supplanted the silk materials for the country frock. Full skirts, wasp-waists and little, short, puffed sleeves characterize theso costumes and when one adds a wido-brimmed hat of linen, pique or straw, with a bright ribbon tied aiound the crown with "streamers" at the back, the effect Is decidedly festive. r '^^^^Hj^^^^^l^k ' T A ^^^^^^^i^^^^^B A B ^^J^P L L jBp K E k -i^HHHI..
