ICTH sat alone In her room crouched
up Into a big chair Through the
window she could see the lighted win
dows of tho apartment house opposite,
and the sounds of the city ebbed and
pulsed around her. The thought came
to her as It had comAlto many people
before, that every lighted window meant
the present e of human beings, and
where there were people there were
problems that had to be decided The
fact that her own special problem seemed
paramount was the only thing that mat
tered It made no difference how she faced
things then was no way out Over
nnd over agiln she whispered these
words aloud, "Scott Is missing, Scott Is
missing," and over nnd over again her
heart repeated ' I love him, I love him"
At last she admitted the great truth,
the truth that had staggered her when
she had first faced It earlier that dav.
Ite.asonlng did not help matters, there
was no reason at all In this great ovci
w helming feeling that had surprised
her with Its Intensity It was Impos
sible to saj-, ' I shouldn t lov e him, I
should love Jack I did love Jaok at
one time not long ago, whj have I chang

these facts, but there was nothing to
be done about It
But if ho were nllve' Her heart
leaped at the thought If he were allvo
things would not be quite so black.
Ilvcn If she had made a mess of her
own life, she could go through with it.
if only that report about Scott were
wrong It was worth something to
discover her real feelings; It was worth
suffering like to this to arrive some

nevei again be the same girl who had
plajed lightly on the surface of life,
who had feared to face change and
revolution and who had wanted things
to go on f nvei In the easj. carefree
manner of her girlhood She had passed
nil tint, left It behind her on the road
of life and had taken up instead the
htirden of piln caused bv her jouth

bitterness of It all had passed away
she would be better off for having lived
and suffered, but jouth in suffering
never thinks of time a3 a friend
liven as Ituth had at one time tried
to shlik her share of the sacrifice of
war. she now longed for an over
amount of sacrifice to make up for It
She allowed herself to dream shume
tess'v of the wav she would have felt
If Ihstead of all the mistakes she had
made die had probed deeplj for her real
feillngs In the first place If she had
in.ii rled .Si-ott as Helen had married
Jim Townscnd the pain of losing him
wou'd have been almost unbearable, but
there would nt least have been the
thought that there was nothing to re
gret If Helen lost Jim she could carrj
through life with her the knowledge that
she had faced the Issue with him, and
together thej had done the only thing
possible But If Scott had really been
killed there w is nothing for Iluth to
face but a life of sacrifice, married to
the wrong man and the thought of what
might have been to torment her peace
of mind nlwajs
But there were other people facing
their troubles that night Mrs Itajmond,
tense with anguish, faced the problem
of tho fac' that her only son veas re
ported missing If she had maintained a
brave front before Ituth she gave way
almost as soon as she wis alone again.
Trv as she would she could not delude
herself Into thinking th it Scott might
have escaped in some miraculous man
ner Miracles did not often happen and
this was a war of science not of chance
And there, was Jack, the other mem

Ruth had problems to decloe Jack was
facing some of his own that night. Jack
was not a coward, nor was he a pacifist;
he simp) did not see the use of get

changed. Just as other things had
changed during the wnr, and Jack, fac

one conclusion If Ruth were no longer
happy In the free of their approaching
marriage, If she expected more from him
than he had given, If she wanted the
roldler and was not content with a man
who stajed at home, then he would be a
soldier. The doctor had told him lhat
