Slio watchrd was on her and In a few minutes she dry eyed every thing that was done. TT WAS almost a tragedy that finally X -waked Jnno to womanhood and n .-i.n of thlncs. It did what even her marriage had not done, it .t,t. ,,. hrniiffh nnd through. Jnne, now that tho first excitement of mar ried life had died down, was beginning to resent little things that came up. At first sho had liked nnd admired Bo is mother, now slio uiougui ncr m. s..Mnnfl Interfering woman. At urst. she had liked Hob s marrieu disivi, u"judb iiueu ner up lenucny una rnrnert was oblivious to everything. A child's scream startled her and she sprang to her feet looking about her wildly. Joy, where was Joy? She rushed across to the room and out to the kitcheu and screamed aloud. Joy lay on tho floor, her little muslin skirt in ilamcs. It had been tho old, old story of the box of matches and the neglected baby. Jnne was no coward and she was desperate. She knelt down on the floor nnd rolled Joy in a rug. She was like a mad woman beating out the flames with her barn hands. Then when the fire was out, before looking at Joy she sprang to the telephone nnd called up the nearest doctor. Joy lay unconscious on the rug, nnd There were no tears, no recriminations, no protests at the suspense. When they told her that Joy would live she did not crumple up as they had expected her to do the minute the vigil vns ocr: sho stood perfectly silent for n moment. Not one of them there know that she was registering a silent vow, but every onu wondered what had suddenly changed ner so strangely. From that moment Jane gained dig nity. She had caught a glimpse of her self that she had never seen before and that she would never forget. Tho pic ture of a dirty, inefficient mother that she knew was herself shamed nnd hum bled her. And that Joy had been spared to her seemed nothing short of a miracle. There would bo hard dnjs nhcad of Jane, days when sho would struggle ngalnBt her old self nnd her old slipshod ways In a tempest of resentment. Hut the. memory of Joy's little bandaged cheek against the white pillow, the smell of drugs in tho room and the agony in her heart that sho felt that day as she blamed herself over and over again for whnt had happened would never fall to bring tears to her eyes and thank fulness to her heart. Jane had waked up at last.

At home, however, sho was cureless nnd wns apt to spend the morning rending a book with tho houso in wild disorder. Bob camo homo unexpectedly one morning and found her curled up in u chair. Knowing that Bob was away, she had not. bothered to dress and sho had a soiled kimono wrapped around her. Her WiiV hnir bad not been brushed, nnd she had that ungroomed look that Is worse in n woman than it Is In a mun As Bob's key turned in tho latch she jumped out of her chair and stood wait ing to seo who it was, the kimono clutched about her with ono hand, tho book held in tho other. Then she rushed at him. "Darllntfrl'm so glad to see you." He dropped "nli traveling bag nnd took her in his arms. Ho kissed her unturned childish face, and although he had seen everything he said nothing about tho disorder of tho place "I'll go out and fix you something to at," sho said, tucking up her kimono and hurrying out "No, don't bother," ho remonstrated following her. She turned on him wide surprised yes. "But you said you hadn't eaten." "411 pick up something to cat down town," ho said evasively. "I'o got to report anyway.' Jane said good-bye to him and went back to her book. Sho read for u few minutes and then threw it asido nnd rushed for ivriting materials.
