CHAPTER XXIV 

JESSY STRIKES 

It was the afternoon before Vane's departure for the North, and Evelyn, sitting alone for the time being in Mrs. Nairn's drawing-room, felt disturbed by the thought of it. She sympathized with his object, as it had been briefly related by her hostess, but she supposed there was a certain risk attached to the journey, and that troubled her. In addition to this, there was another point on which she was not altogether pleased. She had twice seen him acknowledge a bow from a very pretty girl whose general appearance suggested that she did not belong to Evelyn's own walk in life, and that very morning she had noticed him crossing a street in the young woman's company. Vane, as it happened, had met Kitty Blake by accident and had asked her to accompany him on a visit to Celia. Evelyn did not think she was of a jealous disposition, and jealousy appeared irrational in the case of a man whom she had dismissed as a suitor; but the thing undoubtedly rankled in her mind. While she was considering it, Jessy Horsfield entered the room. 

"I'm here by invitation, to join Mr. Vane's other old friends in giving him a good send-off," she explained. "Only, Mrs. Nairn told me to come over earlier." 

Evelyn noticed that Jessy laid some stress upon her acquaintance with Vane, and wondered whether she had any motive for doing so. 

"I suppose you have known him for some time?" 

"Oh, yes," was the careless answer. "My brother was one of the first to take him up when he came to Vancouver."

CHAPTER IX 

DOCTOR PATSY 

Next morning Uncle John and the Weldons--including the precious baby--went for a ride into the mountains, while Beth and Patsy took their embroidery into a sunny corner of the hotel lobby. 

It was nearly ten o'clock when A. Jones discovered the two girls and came tottering toward them. Tottering is the right word; he fairly swayed as he made his way to the secluded corner. 

"I wish he'd use a cane," muttered Beth in an undertone. "I have the feeling that he's liable to bump his nose any minute." 

Patsy drew up a chair for him, although he endeavored to prevent her. 

"Are you feeling better this morning?" she inquired. 

"I--I think so," he answered doubtfully. "I don't seem to get back my strength, you see." 

"Were you stronger before your accident?" asked Beth. 

"Yes, indeed. I went swimming, you remember. But perhaps I was not strong enough to do that. I--I'm very careful of myself, yet I seem to grow weaker all the time." 

There was a brief silence, during which the girls plied their needles. 

"Are you going to stay in this hotel?" demanded Patsy, in her blunt way. 

"For a time, I think. It is very pleasant here," he said. 

"Have you had breakfast?" 

"I took a food-tablet at daybreak." 

"Huh!" A scornful exclamation. Then she glanced at the open door of the dining-hall and laying aside her work she rose with a determined air and said: 

"Come with me!" 

"Where?" 

For answer she assisted him to rise. Then she took his hand and marched him across the lobby to the dining room.
