And when he' at la! iliel his younc liauehtor. left motlierless in hor cliiliftiooJ. had but the labor of her har.ds to count upon for livelihood. And Jane's small hands knew no other labor save that entailed in the duties of her father's household. Jan, was dismayed at the possibility of her future, and it was with gratitude akin to devotion that she accepted the offer Myra Westoer made that for ti e time being she should make Slyra's home her own. The daughter of her old father's rival had, it teemed, inherited his prosper ity and good fortune, and while Jane swept the rooms of her father's home Myra had traveled, perfecting her art dtudies and finding pleasures be stowed all aloug her way. When Doc tor Westover's successful career was forever ended and he had not lived long to enjoy the fruits of it Jlyra returned from abroad, selling the great house and building a beautiful bungalow. It was to this daintily ap pointed home that she invited Jane, to be, as Myra smilingly suggested, her "companion and homekeeper." Myn! did not exactly say general house keeper, but that was exactly Jane's position. But the heart of the lonely woman was more than content. Myra, she felt, was her benefactor Indeed. And Myra, adjusting costly furs over a eostly suit preparatory to starting upon a trip whose duration would de pend upon her own interest in it. con gratulated herself upon the acquisition of a faithful and tireless homekeeper.. With Jane Installed In the bungalow, Myra could be completely at rest re garding her own affairs, sure of a satisfying welcome when she returned. Jane was firm in her refusal of a stat-, ed salary. "Are yon not giving me a home?" she had asked, with her father's un selfish inconsistency. And Myra, shrugging her shoulders, smiled shrewdly at this gratifying loy alty. .. , The gifted H!titmtor laughed her. way easily through life, unmoved by various suitors to whom her charm and beauty appealed. Jane had known! but one romance, hidden carefully through the years In the most secret place of her heart. This romance car ried the same pathos as her unselfish life. Bob Moore had stopped at the little house of the humble doctor to laugh and chat with the doctor's sweet daughter. Then Bofc Moore had gone to the great house and Myra 'VVest orer had smiled upon him. That was the end. That was always the" end where Jane was concerned". ' TVhen Bob went away, Jane expected to hear of his return to claim Mjra as his bride. But Bob had not returned; and Jane still cherished her memo ries. It was when Myra was away upon one of her trips, that Jane learned of Bob Moore's presence in town. She was in the kitchen when a neighbor brought the news and Jane, looked down with sudden rebellion at her print dress. Bob Moore would call, of course and he would find her thus Myra's servant. "Why?" Jane asked with new resentment, "should all gifts of life be bestowed upon one woman?' Then to her came her one temptation. For that evenine at least she would live as Myra be Myra. Bob Moore should find her, Jane Stewart, hostess of the stone bungalow. Site hesitated only a moment, before the mirror in Myra's deserted room, then . sorted, hurriedly, the dresses left in Myra's wardrobe. Jane those delib erately a white fwk of finest lace, and around hr waist she knotted a blue ribbon. The white sntln slippers were Myra's, too. In Myra's charm ing fashion. Jane loosened and colled her hair. Then with new graceful as surance, she went out upon the veran da to wait. Bob Moore Itobert C. Moore, man of affairs came present ly, smiling I. is pleasure. Bob, too, was hnvii' his memories his first love stood before him tonight, the girl he had never been able to forget. "I ntn glad," he said as they sat and 'Hiked, "that Myra and you have made our home together. Though from what Myra told me, when 1 went away, I supposed that you would long since liflve married. If I had not be lieved what Myra told me concerning your engagement to another man, Jane" liis eager eves fmii-lieij the sentence. Then, rapidly. Incoherently June Stewart made confession. "Walt," stie eit'Vd her story, and abruptly left him. When she returned, Jane wore her plulu print dress, white apron str'ngs where the Line sa-J) had been. "lull see," klut said breathlessly. "It was a vision 01 Ai, thai you re membered. But I am only Jane the one who serves." "Tou have served, long enough, dear," Bob Moure said quietly. And Jaue'i memory 1'imuiuce became reality- WAR COST 40,000,000 PEOPLE Actual and Potential Lots In Popula tion Estimated by Statisticians. Washington.

Their discovery was dra matic: In May, 1S79, Captain Klrby of the schooner Hutchlngs, out of Gloucester, Mass., was trawling for cod off the Nantucket banks. No cod was found, but a large fish, unknown to science, was present In great num bers. In a very short time 5,000 pounds of tlie new species were caught The fish proved to be of high food value and good keeping qualities. There was a big popular demand for them, and huge qiaetities were caught for three years. Then the supply failed as sud denly as it had appeared.
