"Will she--is she going to----?" wavered Mickey.
"I'm not sure," said the surgeon. "From the bleeding probably concussion;
but she will live. Do you know how she came to fall?"
"There was a smear of something on the steps she didn't see," explained
Mickey.
"Thank you! Go with the nurse," said the surgeon. Then to an attendant:
"Take Miss Alden's number, and see to her case. She was going after
something."
Mickey turned back. "Paper, maybe," he suggested, pointing to her closed
hand. The surgeon opened it and found a nickel. He handed it to Mickey.
"If you have a clean one left, let this nurse take it to Miss Alden's
case, and say she has been assigned other duty. See to sending a
substitute at once."
Every paper proved to be marked.
"I can bring you a fresh one in a second, lady," offered Mickey. "I got
the money."
"All right," she said. "Wait with it in the office and then I'll pay you."
"I'm sent for a paper. I'm to be let in as soon as I get it," announced
Mickey to the porter.
