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.

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

"lull see," klut said breathlessly. "It
