STAItT THIS STORY TODAY
JANE came Into Ruth's Wo thiough
Helen 'Townscnd. She was an odd
little thing who might have been thor
oughly fascinating but for certain draw
backs. She simply did not realize her
possibilities, nor play up to her attrac
tions In any way.
Until had been down at Helen's one
evening when Jnnc came In. Her round
face was flushed and full of life. When
she smiled her eyes deepened and huge
babyish dimples played everywhere in
tier face. Her hair was short, but it
was not the kind of short hair that
Ruth had ever seen before. In Green
which village there Is a fad for bobbed
hair. Jane Knowles's hair was nothing
like this. It was black and very curly
unci Huffed away from a part down the
Bldo which gave Jane tho most fas
cinating boyish expression. Ruth fell
quite In love with her.
Jane did not como into the room
ordinarily, she blew in, nnd the ex
pression on her face was that of a
naughty elf.
"They've taken me on," she an
nounced dramatically to Helen.
''Oh, my dear, that's splendid,"
Helen said heartily. "Come and sit
down and tell us about it. This is Mrs.
Raymond; she'll bo Interested."
Ami so Jane proceeded to tell how
the had landed the position of her
heart, that of assistant In a publishing
office.
"You see," she explained to Ruth,
"I lovo to write, and I have had a few
things published, but I don't know the
technique of the thing at all and I have
been trying to find a Job where I can
get what I need."
"But to work In nn office," protested
Ruth, "I tried It for a while, and It's
deadly, the routine. Are you sure you'll
like it?"
Jane opened her eyes wide. "Why,
I'vo worked In an office for three
years," she explained simply; "this
work will bo simply heaven compared
to the dull typing I have been doing,
and think what I'll learn."
When she had gone U seemed as
though a fresh breeze had blown out of
the room. Ruth turned to Helen im
pulsively. "Who Is she, Helen? Tell me about
her; she's utterly charming."
"Isn't she? I don't know when I
hav.e met any one so naive and yet so
far she has made an utter mess of her
life."
"n. T know vou're surprised, every
one is who knows her; If she hndn't
had ambition, I don't know what would
linvc held her up. She has a baby to
support, ou know, and she has been
making fifteen dollars a week. This
new position will pay her twenty, but,
as you know, that isn't a great deal
thee dajs."
Ruth gasped. "Do you mean to say
that that child has a baby?"
Helen nodded. "Two jcars old. Do
joii want to hear about her?"
And that wast when Ruth first heard
the story of Jane and it read like a
i ii it;.
Jane had been very wild a few jears
ago. Slip would listen to no one who
hied to gie her advice, and because she
was n wild, joyous thing, every one
who loved her knew that life had some
hard knocks in store for her. Her
great piece of folly cume when she
eloped with n handscome boy who had
nothing in the world but his looks,
and who was shiftless and cruel to boot.
Hut she was game. When any ono
tried to interfere, to get her to admit
that life had defeated her, she would
(Ii row back her head with something
of tho old defiance nnd laugh. She might
bo defeated, she might be unhappy,
but the world should never know, not
if bhe could help it, and so she lived
in miserable poverty witli the man of
her choice, enduring all manner of
degradation, for he drank and abused
her horribly. Througti it all, however,
she maintained something of her old
manner, and it had tided her over until
the baby came.
Jane did not want the baby. Sho
would -sit for hours with her hands
held loosely in her lap, juct brooding.
Near the end she did make some baby
things in a listless fashion, not as
1 mothers generally do, setting in fine
stitches with loving fingers, but in a
helpless fashion, to keep herself occu
pied. Jane was only nineteen at the
time.
Before the baby came Jane scraped
together every cent she coulJ and went
to a hospital. She had a horror of
having the child born where its father
lived. Jane tried not to think of what,
would happen when her short hospitajl
term was over, but mercifully the wf I
rarae, and before Jane came back ns
husband had beon caugni m w "'-"
Weak and ill as she yki, with no
money. Jane felt some of the old ox
Sutton return to her She was free!
To be sure, she had the baby to support,
w there was no one to bully her, no
onl t? ferrK her with rough words and
rougher blows.
