CHAPTER XIX
He had come to stand beside her
at the window. He was lighting a
fresh cigarette. She was conscious
oí his clean, well-shaped hands, of
his height and breadth, of the sudden
deepening of his voice.
She nodded slowly.
He puffed on his cigarette, then
took it from his mouth and held it.
the smoke -curling up between his
fingers. The silence became un-
comfortable. An ash formed on his
cigarette and dropped to the floor.
"Why do you want to go?" he in-
quired.
"Surely you can answer that ques-
tion for yourself."
His brow darkened while his fin-
gers drummed impatiently on the
window sill.
"Isn't this n good hospital to
work in?"
Kate laughed. "Excellent."
"Aren't we giving you plenty to
do?"
"I'm busy enough," she admitted.
"Then I fail to see why you should
go," he said.
"You really amuse me."
Scoif Pleads With Kate
To Stay in Riverdale
"Tell me your reasons for want-
ing to go," he demanded.
Oh, now, really! she thought. What
peculiar twist in his nature made
him feel he must talk like this? Why
couldn't he let her depart in peace?
She turned about. "Somooné's
coming."
The door, which stood slightly
ajar, was pushed open by Virginia
and Phil Harvey. They were smiling
broadly. Virginia said, "It's nearly
over. Dr. Fiske removed a blood
clot. He says Leonard won't play
football for a long time but other-
wise he'll be normal."
"That's wonderful," said Kate.
She was noting the becomingness of
Virginia's cap, the girl's steadiness,
her new air of maturity. "You've
had a hard day, Virginia," she said
gently.
Virginia smiled, her smile a com-
bination of sadness and relief.
"I'm fine." Kate was proud of the
girl's composure. Virginia went on.
"I haven't properly thanked you.
Dr. Fuller, for finding Leonard."
Her glance shifted from Kate to
Scott Kenyon. "And you, too. Dr.
Kenyon," she said gratefully.
Phil Harvey had a bright, know-
ing look in his dark eyes. He took
Virginia by the arm. "Come along,
sugar, you can make your pretty
speeches later." Above Virginia's
head, the tall intern winked at Kate.'
"Gather ye roses while ye may." he
murmured audaciously, as he
piloted the girl out.
"Nice chap," observed the doc-
tor.
"Yes." Kate's cheeks felt hot.
Had Scott Kenyon caught those
murmured words? If so, would he
interpret them as she had? Prob-
ably not. He wasn't as well acquaint-
ed with Harvey's mischievous bent
oí mind as she was. Anxious to de-
part, she moved toward the door,
saying, "I'll go to my room. It's
time I made myself presentable."
Time I wrote that letter of ac-
ceptance, she was thinking.
"Just a minute . . ." He stepped
ahead of her, closing the door.
"Why did you do that?" she asked,
"I want privacy," he said. "Please
sit dowh again."
Kate obeyed, folding her hands in
her lap.
"Well?"
He stationed himself opposite her
with his hands at his sides and his
blue eyes intense. In the strong
overhead light Kate's hair looked
tawny, her skin transparently clear.
Her mouth had never needed lip-
stick. Even in her weariness it kept
its natural vivid red. His eyes were
on it as he said, "I want to apolo-
gize for the boorish way in which
I've acted."
"I hold nothing against you, Dr.
Kenyon." Kato managed to voice
the words casually though she won-
dered that any sound at all came
from her lips.
"Then you'll reconsider and stay
on here?" he asked eagerly.
"I didn't say that," Kate mur-
mured. She felt aa if this were a
play on a stage. It couldn't be real,

"You may be interested to know
that I've made my peaeo with Ben
Smith," he said at last. "He's taken
me baek Into Ma good «racea."
"Why did you act the way you
did?" Kate ashed slowly. She un-
tolded her hands and was surprised

Ihey were.

threat you represented to my *pr>
clous male supremacy.' "
"Was she right?" queried Kate.
She followed a seam in her uniform
with the tip of a finger, forcing a
lightness to her voice and a smile
to her lips.
"No," he said bluntly.
She gave him a swift, inquiring
glance. "What is the answer, then?"
"I'm coming to it," he told ner.
She sensed a reluctance in him to
go straight to the point; for some
reason he was afraid to say what
lay uppermost in his mind; he was
putting it off while he gathered
courage.
"Don't you consider that you have
obligations here?" he demanded.
"Don't the Bonardls expect you to
go on with your treatment of Dick-
ie?" She said nothing and after a
short turn around the room he
startled her by announcing, "I've
been to see the Bonardis. 1 told
them you sent me. They've asked
me to take Dickie's case."
"My darling," he said. He
gathered her slowly Into his
arms and laid his chock against
her hair.
He paused again and Kate sat
mute, her amazement robbing hei
of words. This was what she had
yearned for, prayed for, and her
relief was so great that, forgetting
her resentment momentarily, she
raised her eyes to Scott's. They
shone into his for one unguarded
instant, then it entered her mind
that the Bonardis had originally
been patients of Dr. Smith's. The
light in her eyes died out. There
was a link-up there, she told her-
self. Scott Kenyon had swallowed
his pride as a compliment to Dr.
Smith, not to her.
Scott Begs Forgiveness
For Early Opposition
"Aren't you pleased?" the doctor
asked.
She said evenly, "Yes, it's fine.
It means I have nothing to worry
about as far as Dickie is con-
cerned."
"But you have," he said at once.
"You're still the only one whs can
handle him."
"Oh, no, Dickie's quite tractable
now," she corrected.
Kenyon sat down, pulling his chair
close to hers. Her heart pounded at
his nearness. She would not look at
him. It was growing windy outside
and the sharp air was creeping into
the room. She shivered suddenly.
"Cold?" he asked.
"No."
"You're shaking, dear," he said.
Her breath caught in her throat.
He had reached out and was taking
her hands in his. When she at-
tempted to withdraw them his grasp
tightened and it suddenly seemed
to her as if their pulses had become
one and that that one was vibrating
with such strong, rhythmic throbs
that she could feel it all through her
body.
"Forgive me my sins, Kate," she
heard Scott beg.
There was roaring in her ears.
Above it, far-off, she heard a tele-
phone ringing. It stopped presently
and the low, urgent voice of the man
who held her hands, recommenced.
"Why did you come hero in the
first place?" he asked.
"To learn," she whispered broken-
ly. "To learn from you."
He bowed his head.
"And I treated you like the dirt
beneath my feet."
She resisted a crazy Impulse to
put her hand out and touch hia
hair.
"Qod forgive me, Kate, I honest*
ly considered mysel! in the right at
first," he went on in a deeply
ashamed voice, "I realise now 1
was never In the right. You do be-
loAii in modicum: vmi do At

speaking with that same quiet in-
tensity. "I couldn't endure the
thought of everybody having the
laugh on me," he continued, "though
I knew well enough what I was put-
ting you through. I hated myself,
yet I kept on systematically freez-
ing you out." She was aware that
his fingers had laced themselves
through hers. "The day you saved
the Warron baby's life I saw the
light, but even then I coulár.'* give
in. I was too overwhelmed with
fear. I'd lost my bearings complete-
ly."
At that, sho raised her eyes to
his. The bewilderment she felt must
have been evident for he said quick-
ly, "I know. It sounds like cheap
melodrama, doesn't it?"
She tried to speak, to tell him that
it didn't. No sound came from hor
and after a moment, he went on in
a rush of words.
Happy Kate Fuller
Accepts a Proposal
"I was afraid of you, of your effect
on me. The only way I could com-
bat it was to stay as far away from
you as possible. Edith knew the
truth about it. My mother knew.
They could tell you things, I've
made life intolerable for them." He
paused, shook his head, and then
went on more slowly. "I felt as if
I was caught in an undertow too
strong for mo. I fought it but 1 know
I was losing ground. Medicine had
always boon my first love and thon
suddenly it wasn't. You took that
place and I swore I would tear you
from my mind. I couldn't eat,
couldn't sleep. There were days
when I considered selling my prac-
tice and going away. 1 fed on the
idea of dropping completely from
sight, yet I knew that even then 1
wouldn't be able to black you from
my consciousness. Wherever I went
you'd have been there witii me, in
my mind, in my heart. They .say
that love makes a fool of a man.
I can well believe it."
Scarlet-cheeked, Kate wrenched
her hands from Ills and fled U the
window. She clung with shaking
hands to the sill. Her blood was a
mountain torrent leaping In her
veins.
"Kate," he begged, behind her,
"let me make it up to you."
She thought, in utter despora-
tion, No, no, I must get away. I have
so much to do before I can . . .
"I can't erase from your memory
the cruel thing I've done or take
back what I've said," he was mur-
muring regretfully in her ear. "The
record stands. It's life's way of
meting out the punishment we de-
serve, I suppose, but if you'll re-
main here at Peoples', if you'll let
me try to atone for it . . ."
"I can't stay," she burst out. in
a choked voice.
"Why can't you?"
"Oh, don't you see?" She dropped
her head and her hands went to her
face, "I wouldn't dare," she con-
fessed in a tragic whisper. "Medl-
cine has been my religion, too. It
was my father's. I must go on. I
can't fail noto."
"I don't understand," he said.
"Why need remaining here result
in professional failure for you?"
For a moment, she stood com-
pletely still. Then, in sudden fury
at his denscness, she swung around
and faced him. The light shone down
on har golden hair, her pulsing white
throat, her lips so red and sweetly
curved. Her gray eyes were bril-
liant with anger.
"I'm a woman and a very human
one!" she cried. Her breBSt rose
and fell stormlly. "Must I write it
out for you? Must I put it down in
black and white, the way children
do? 'Kate loves Scott'?" Her eyes
flooded; tears sparkled like dew-
drops on her eyelashes. "I have
years and years to go," she said in
a stifled voice. "How can I stay
bore and do my work if I'm to be
continually torn to pieces by emo-
tion?"
She would have rushed from the
room had not his hand, closing swift-
ly on her wrist, held her captive.
Comprehension, complete anct joy-
ous, had filled his eyes, deepening
them to midnight blue.
"My darling," ho said. He gath-
ered her slowiy into his arms and
laid his cheek against her hair. "I
know your dream of service and
what you want to do before you
allow yourself to marry. I realize
you must establish yourself in the
practice of pediatric In Rlverdale
before you say yes to any man. I've
been thinking about a clinic for poor
children like Dickie. We could swing
It together when the time comee,
I'm a patient man, Kate." His hand
went up to stroke her hair. "I know
how to wait. I won't hinder your
progres , beloved. I'll aid it II only
you won't go away and leave me.
I couldn't hear that. Thia I your
home, Kato. How could 1 go on
living if I knew I'd driven you from
it "
QenUy, ho brushed the tear* from
hlr eyes.
"You're nothing to fear. Will you
stay "
Outside, a bird began to chirp In
