Anne dined In stato on tho kitchen

familiar, called through the open win

Anne arose forgetting the tarts which
she still held in her hind The door
opentu to netmlt Lieutenant K , big.
brown and every Inch a man The
twinkling ees and roguish mouth were
the same
"Why. hello Anne," he said, as
though ho had seen her every diy.
Anno slowly lowered tha plato of tarts.
ana musning lute a scnooigirl, held out
ner nnuu Mie wns conscious of her
flLshed cheeks from her morning's bak

tho much mwrf. llufflncs of her coif

a completely batlsfvlng consciousness
Ho explained his unheralded prebeni e
ut that unheard-of visiting hour bv mj
ing that he had onlv a few hours' fur
lough to transai t some business, and
then mun return to cimp lie also
added thit he would pall for "over

Then Anne remembered her boipltal
itv, and Invited him to lunch with her
from the kitchen table Over tho beans
and ham they talked of many things
In tho midst of a scrnmlngly funny
camp story Anno spied a thin little
trbklo of water wending Its way across
tho closet loor She recilled tho Ice
bo Excusing herself histilv, she
emptied the overflowing pan, defiantly
Ignoring his proffered aid A while later,
when hhe had forgotten tho episode and
was listening tensely to the lieutenant's
vivid description of his first trip ln the

tion prevailed Sho had forgotten to put
up the ice caru. Hurrving to tno aoor,
she caught him Just as he was passing

Pussy mewed then for his neglected
breakfast, and it proved the final straw
to Anne Sho hated to go back and

she could not go to the woods with tho

wished with all her heart that she was

Anne did not reckon on the discern
ment of her friend He had always
been thoughtful and tolerint of others
and his months in tho air had broadened
his outlook in this direction Ho came
out after his truant hostess lust In time
to seo her wipe awa a telltale tear.
Anne nevir knew quite how it hap
pened, but the mate to that tear was
wiped away bv the lieutenant himself,
and she found her cheek against the
softness of his officers roit
"What must sou think of me" she
sobbed when she began to realize things
He held her away a moment "Do you

AND that was what Ruth proceeded to
do, surround Scott with love She
tried to bo more than offlc!cnt and it
was not such an easy thing for her to
do. She had been used to having things
done for her nt home Martha, who had
been In the family for ears, had waited
on her hand and foot, and there had al
ways been other people to take the
routine work of keeping n house, no
matter how small, oft Ruth's shoulders
The Rowlands did not have bo much
money themselves, but they had enough
and they knew people who bid a great
deal; consequently Ruth had always
known and kept up with tho wealthiest
girls. Thcro Is no denying the fact that
Mrs Rowlmd was. disappointed when
Ruth choso Scott Rajmond for a hus
band. Out of all the men Ruth had
known MrB. Rowland had approved of
Jack Bond Ruth had been engaged to
Jack for several months until she
realized that whit Jack could give her
would not compensato for everything
Not that Ruth was mercenary, for Bho
had promised Jack to marry him be
cause sho believed herself nctuallv in
loo with him. In realltv sho had been
ln lovo with tho romance of love, her
engagement ring, tho fact that she was
marrying tho most eligible man of her
set, everything had conspired to put love
Itself ln tho backgrounu it wasnt
until Jack had leased an apartment that
Ruth had looked ahead to married life,
then sho knew that lt would take more
than material possessions to marry any
man
On Monday morning Scott went back
to his old work ln the office. Things
were exactly as they wero before ho
had left for Prance, only he was re
ceived with more than a little enthusi
asm (".ringer, tbe president of tho con
cern, sent for him and told him that
henceforth his salary was to be $50 a
week Soon perlnps be could go out
on his own and make commissions that
would bring him tn still more. Tho In
surance company was a good one, but
virtuallv new, bard work would milld
It up, hard woik nnd clever drains
Scott had a ilttlo office of bis own
and lu sit there on that first day and
tried to think lie was the most fortunate
of men After ho had been working for
a couplo of hours, ho had a queer sensa
tion of restlessness, and he got up and
walked around tho room How Hmnll lt
was, this tiny space Inclosed In four
walls way up at tho top of an oillce
building He went to tho window and
looked out The street was far below
and teeming with people Why was It
that ho had never thought much before
about the world and his relation to It?
Why had ho slmplv accepted his office
Job as a matter ot courso oerore mo
war, and that now it seemed bo strango
to him. Of course, ho argued, ho wasn't
used to being cramped up like this In
a week or two, ho would bo back with
the same old feeling; now, he would
simply have to fight his feelings, grit
his teeth and make the best of It
At homo Ruth confronted her own
problems Broakfart had been unusually
early and she had Insisted upon an un
usually hearty breakfast for Scott to
begin his usual day on. Kverythlng had
been typically domestic , Ruth poured
the coffee from tho Russian brass coffee
pot that some ono had given her for a
gift, nnd there had been nothing to re
lieve tho domestic quality of lt all until
she had gone into tho hall v lth Scott to
say good-by to him. It was never
domestic when ho tool: her In his arms
and held her close and kissed her mouth.
She lay In IiIb arms for a few minutes,
clinging to him w lth her eyes closed be
fore sho let him go. Moments llko those
wero tho divinely mad ones that stood
out like green fringed oases In a day
filled with Ilttlo Incidents that were
wearlngly sordid.
Then she turned back Into tho house
to straighten It up Things certainly
were at sixes and sovens. When shel
went to the bathroom, ahe Btopped
aghast. It looked as though a cyclone
had struck It Scott's shaving things
stretved tho shelf above tho porcelain
howl, three towels were thrown on the
floor. Two of her little guest towels
had been dragged down frgm the rack
and now Iny In the bottom of the tub
Water had dripped over them from tho
faucet and they were damp and ooggy.
What a contrnst besides thit wonderful
moment In tho hall !
Ruth went about her duties calmly
and sanely, mentally resolving to kee-p
her temper nnd yet chafing under It all.
It seemed so unnecessary, this careless
ness, so thoughtless Neat herself, and
accustomed to picking her things up,
sho did not stop to take Into account the
fact that Scott for 6omo months had
been where small things did not matter:
whero It wa3 tho most natural thing In
tho world to be careless, where baths
where civilization Itself was forgotten In
almost unbelievable hardships. Scott
had never been a devotco of little things,
now he was even worse than ho ever
had been before In his life. Uttle
things Blmplyidld not matter at all and
i ho was at sea concerning some of the
I big, ones.
