UTAH Macready to Try for Altitude of Eight Miles (Copyrlf ht ) "DILL OTIS, was talking emphat-- ically over the telephone in his private office which he, as recently appointed costs expert for Walter & Dawkins, had occupied for less than two weeks. As he hung up the receiver he looked at his hand and saw drops of blood on his fingers. Then he remembered that In the heat of his argument he had brought It down hard on the keen pointed paper spike. "Anyone got any cotton for bandages here? he asked of a young clerk who happened to he passing. "Youll get It from the first-aigirl down at the last desk, said the clerk.

Two minutes later Bill was seated In ills large armchair with this very pretty girl beside him. With immaculate white and shapely hands she was bathing the finger that lmd been cut using sterile cotton and a little white enamel cup. Then she took Bill's large hand-ihers, and looking at it almost tenderly asked him if it didnt hurt. It was a rather bad tear, ""she told" him. I think I should have fainted. She applied some healing salve on a bit of sterile cotton and then neatly bandaged it. The next day in passing the desk of the first-aigirl, Bill Otis stopped to thank her for her trouble. lie likewise asked her her name. Margaret Clark, she told him. lie told her she was a born nurse.

More than ever Bill Otis admired this girl at the end desk, and every time lie passed he made some mental observation of her. She was dressed so smartly, t her hair was always so smooth and glossy and well brushed. A few days later he sent her a large hunch of violets with a card Inclosed, shying simply, From a grateful patient."
