in the huge theater filled rapidly. As she waited nervously in the wings for her cue to go on stage, Mary thought back to the last few minutes in her dressing room. Her maid had put the finishing touches on her costume and hair-do and had checked to be sure the laces on her snowy White ice skates were tied firmly. Then as Mary turned to go, a messenger boy rushed up to her and handed her a note. After quickly reading the note, Mary smiled know- ingly. Then she placed the bit of pa- per carefully on her dressing table and had hurried out into the wings where she stood. Mary thought of the note once more. Look for me in Box 5. Good luck, signed, Dr. John Holloway. Just then the or- chestra swung into the melody that was her cue. With a last whispered, 'good luck,' from her manager, Mary glided onto the ice. Two spotlights were immediately turned upon her, flooding her and the ice around her with a dazzling brill- iance. She smiled nervously and be- gan the intricate steps of her difficult routine. The spotlights followed her over the ice making the sequins on her short jacket sparkle like diamonds. The blue plums on her skirt swayed gently about her as she weaved and darted in and out to the music of the ice follies orchestra. Then, before she knew, she was al- most through. Only one feat remained to be done. The one most difficult for a skater on ice to perform. Could she do it now before an audience? She knew that out there in the vast sea of faces watching her was one person who would know how anxiously her heart beat. Mary knew that he too, waited breathlessly. She must do it! Around the great stage she skated. Faster and faster! Then she leaped four feet into the air in a graceful arch. Com- ing down she made a quick stop in front of Box 5, her silver blades throwing out a shower of ice flakes. As she poised there on her toes she smiled confidently at the man who smiled back at her from Box 5. As Mary glided off the ice, a young man turned to Doctor Holloway. She was wonderful, doctor, he beamed, I see now why you wanted me to pay particular attention to her. She was marvelous wasn't she,? smiled back Dr. Holloway, but the real rea- son I wanted you to notice her was that I told that girl a year ago she would never walk again.
