Jill itood irresolute she hardly know

She crossed to the other side of thi

tossed her hot down on to a chair, and
went acrost to tho couch In the window.
A youth lay there. tironDed un with
many plllowo; n handsome youth he
was, with maiscs of thick brown hair,
nnd features almost womanish in their
beauty, but the figure beneath tho cover.

I did not mean to atay out so late
but It was such a lovely afternoon
You'll bo able to come with

the chair by then.
"Shall we?" He did not seem in
terested he yawned. "Can't wo have
tea?"
She moved away at once; she put
the kettle on thc lire; she lit a small
lamp and brought it to the center of
the table; she wheeled thc boy's couch
Into the firelight. The couch was the
best piece of furniture in the room;
t had taken Jill ilx months to pay for
lt--slx months during which she went
dally without her iunch. and walked
the three miles to the office.
She laid the cloth, nnd began to cut
some broad and butter; she talked awny
cheerily all the time.
"There was such n funny Salvation

too." she added.
Don did not answer; his eyes were
fixed dreamily on the fire. "Wlicre'i
Knthy?" he asked suddenly.
Jill hesitated; she flushed a little.
"I don't know, but I think she was
going to meet Mr. Hillyard," she said
nt last.
"She's a fool then," sild Don bluntly
Jill shrugged ber shoulders.
"Oh, I don't know; she has such
little fun in her life you can't blame

face was Hushed and distressed. "She

the rather sullcit

that's how it was I"
Don grunted ; his voice was a curious
contrast to the refinement of bis face;
he spoke gruffly almost commonly.
"Anyway he's no good, or he'd tell
us all about himself and' his people," he
maintained obstinately. "Kuthy always
was a fool."
Jill bit her lip. '
"At any rato," she said after a mo
ment, "I should do just tho same as
she's done if I had n chance. I envy
her! I envy ber most awfully for hav
ing some one to make a fuss of her to
to look at her as If she's the
most wonderful woman in thc world
and he does, you know he does.
Don, no mnttcr what you may say! He
he simply ndores her, so there!"
She went over to the window nnd
looked down the street; it was gradu
ally getting dark now; lights were
twinkling in some of the houses oppo
site ; in the distance she could hear the
discordant music of the SnHation Army
band.
She thought ogniu of thc tall man
With the cjeglnss whom she had seen
standing on thc edge of tho crowd ; nhe
wondered if there were nny woman in
the world whom he adored as Ralph
Hillyard adored Katby ; if there was
any woman whose heart beat foster
when she saw him coming up the street
with his slow, lazy walk.
She Btlflcd a little sigh.
"The kettle's boiling over," said
Don.
She flew back to the fire; she made
the tea, and poured it out; she un
just sitting down to tho tuble when the
downstairs door opened and shut again.
"Knthy!" she said quickly.
She pushed bark her chair and went
nut on to the lauding; she leaned over
the shnky balusters, looking into thc
mitiow passage below.
A girl whs coming up tho stairs; a
gill whose hair gleamed golden in the
yellow light of the cheap hanging lamp
on thc bent nail; n girl with the same
exquisite features as the Invalid boy in
thc front room, a girl whose eyes shone
with n quiet happiness which made Jill
catch her breath' with a sort of longing
envy, as she went eagerly toward her.
"How late you are, Kathy! we
were Just going to hnve tea!"
She put her hands on her sister's
shoulders and searched her face with
eager eyes.
r'Oh, Kathy has he
ho V
Kathy nodded.
There was n little silence
"Oh, you lucky, lucky girl!" said Jill
with n little break in her voice. She
stooped she was a good deal taller than
Kathy nnd kissed her on both cheeks.
"I'm so glnd so awfully glnd." she
said in a whisper. She kept Knthy's
hand in her own ns they went back Into
the room together; Don was llng with
his face turned to tho door; there was
rather n disagreeable smile on his beau
tiful mouth.
"Hns he been nnd gone and done
It?" he asked cynically.
"Knthy's engaged." said Jill. "And
I wish I were, too," she added, laugh
ing defiantly.
She poured out n third cup of ten;
she kept looking nt Kathy nil the while,
us if bhe saw her now for thc first time ;
she was dying to nsk questions, but
somehow tho presence of Don iccmid to
forbid it.
Evcrvthing was always put second to
Dou and nls wishes and comfort, every
thing was subservient to film In the lit
tle three-roomed household.
It was only later, when Don had
dozed off by the fire, that Jill and
Kathy sat and whispered together.
"Jlns he given you a ring?" Jill usked
eagerly. Her gray eyes weie blazing
with excitement ; she was ns Hushed as
Kathy.
Katby shook her head
"Not yet; and I don't mind If be
doesn't give me one at all. Of course,
wo shall be very poor to Btnrt with,
at any rate; but I don't mind that
either. I shall just love to work for
him nnd cook his meals nnd mend for
him " Suddenly she made a
little movement toward her sister; she

shoulder. ,
"Oh, I'm so tinpny," she said fer
vently. "So very happy! I've got
tverything I ever wanted in all the
world
Jill kissed her
"Lucky, lucky girl," he said fondly;
bat above hor sister's head she made a
littlo grimace Into the darkness ; to her
way ofthlnklng, Italph Hillyard and
love in a cottage hcemed such a very
odd idea of happiness; and for tho sec
ond timo tbnt evening her thoughts flew
to the tall man with the ojegluss. lo
bo beautifully dressed to bo driving
through London in a luxurious motor
car with this man or a man like him
adoring attentive! to be going out to
dinner to n plnj and then home to a
beautiful house at present
that was nearer Jill's idea of "every
thing in tho world."
