McClure C o , 1912 "It ai'n’t no use for me to stay here *hen,” the boss declared. “If you want” me you can git me by telephone at my office or Gilbert’s or at the club rooms." “Even if she asks for you,” said the doctor. “I“ think it best for you to stay away until her nerves are quieter.” As there was nothing further the two men could do, they walked down- town together. leaving Mrs. Hayes to watch over Gloria. It was nine o’clock before the girl opened her eyes. Dr. Hayes had been home to dinner and then gone out again. His wife was sitting in Gloria’s room reading by a. light which was carefully shaded so as not to annoy the sleeper. She had turned several pages of her book with a feeling that her patient was now fully awake b fore she looked up to see it her belief was justified. Gloria was gazing va- cantly at the ceiling. “Is there anything you want, dear?” she asked, going over to the bed. As Mrs. Hayes looked down at the girl, she seemed to her like a lily that had been beaten by the wind and bruised by the rain and left all for- lorn to die. In the girl’s face she read the story of the last few hours. “Is there anything you want, dear?” she repeated. \ “Nothing.” Gloria looked up at her with a pa- thetic little smile of appreciation for her kindness. She threw one hand out on t0p of the cover, and Mrs. Hayes took it in hers. It was some time, however, before Gloria spoke. “You heard everything?” “Yes.” ' “And you understand?” “I think I do, Gloria.” “Then there isn’t anything much for me to tell you.” For a long time she preserved si- lence, Mrs. Hayes holding her hand but saying nothing. "‘It isn’t as if he had died,” she be- gan slowly, almost as if just talking aloud to herself. “I think I could have stood that. In time everything would have come to be just a beautiful dream, Paris and Belmont and all. In my heart I could always have cher- ished the memory of a strong, brave man. the man I thought he was. You 'know, Mrs. Hayes, he seemed to me to be very much like my father.” For a time she thought it over to herself. Mrs. Hayes did not press her, and continued to show her sympathy by holding her hand. “Yes, it .would have been a lot better bad he died before I ever knew. What would have been a. beautiful dream is now only a hideous nightmare. And I believed in him so! You who have seen just a little of him can’t know how I loved him. It wasn’t exactly love when we were abroad in the same party. Yes, it was; only I didn’t know it. It wasn’t until he had gone away and no word came from him that I knew how much he was to me. And} then I met him here. Heaven seemed to open for me that night.” She turned her head for a minute, and the tears began to flow. When she began again her eyes were still blurred with tears. "I can tell' you, and I could tell. Mrs. Gilbert, that'it’s going to hurt me. a lot. It’s going to hurt to think how I was deceived. I thought I was building my house of life upon a rock, and when the rains came I awoke to find the foundation was only shifting sandf’ “We all have our troubles, dear,” Mrs. Hayes told her. “Yours may seem- hard to bear. but you must know that life can‘t all be painted in rainbow hues. I've taken you with me into Belmont’s unhappiest homes, and what you have seen should teach you to bear your own trials with resignation and fortitude as a Christian should. Perhaps it’s not well to think how .much better off we are than other people. but when we do think of it we see that God has shown us abundant kindness compared to that given to others. and then our crosses are lighter.” “But I loved him so!” cried Gloria, burying her face in the pillow. Mrs. Hayes could only clasp the girl’s hand. The attempt to comfort her was unprofitable. Her grief was too new, her wounds too fresh for com- fort. Longer and longer grew the in- tervals between her sobs. Finally Mrs. Hayes thought she had fallen asleep, but Gloria was only thinking. It came to her that she was still young. Love would never be hers, she was sure of that; but long years stretched out be- fore her. She couldn’t be a coward and shirk those years. Once she had built her house of love and life upon the quaking sands, now she would build her house of life upon the firm rock of service. In ministering to the unfbrtunate. she might find surcease ,for her own sorrow. “Mrs. Hayes 1'" “What, Gloria 1'” . j. “I’m not going to let anything that L happened today spoil my life. ” ; “Of course not, dear.

Perhaps all will come out as you once had planned.” . She said no more, and after a. time seemed to fall asleep. Mrs. Hayes un- fclasped her hand, turned out the light, and left the room. 5 Through the windows streamed the moonlight. The girl, assured that she yas alone, turned on her side and gwatched the beams creep slowly across ‘.the room. She tried to think of him as he had been and not as he was. In him she jhad found every good trait a man Ishould have. She was chagrined to ethink how easily it now appeared she had been won. How much she would have been spared, she pondered, had she not been so eager for his love as to show him so soon that she cared for him. Every familiar gesture which was at all a part of him she knew would call him to mind when another man might make it. The way he held his cigar when he smoked, the odd manner in .which he would look his hands togeth- er whenever a knotty problem both- ered him, these little things and a host of others would come back to plague her. All the dear, dead past crowded into her mind. It was not of the man whom that afternoon she had spurned that she thought, but of the man whom in her heart she cherishedâ€"her Ideal. She did not say further that she had telephoned earlier in the mowing and had Mrs. Wallace, the matron, make plans whereby the 11 hole aftex- noon would be taken up.‘ She be- lieved Gloria’s peace of mind would be all the greater were she engaged in some work which would make her feel that through her the pain of the suf- :‘ferer was alleviated and the bruised ‘Eheart of the unhappy bound up. It was just two o’clock when they f'reached the mission. They had not been "there long before Mrs. Wallace sug- gested that they call on a poor girl who was ill in a room over Mike Noo- .nan’s saloon. The sick woman was known to her, but she told nothing of With a mighty sob she began again to weep. There had come to her the realization that love was done. Fax across the room the moonbeams crept before Gloria fell into a fitful slumber “I’ve forgotten what we’d plannec' Lfor this afternoon,” Gloria remarked to Mrs. Hayes the morning after the stormy scene in Judge Gilbert’s of- fice. Yesterday was carefully ignored by both as they talked. “This was the day Mrs. V‘Vallace asked us to help her at the mission,” Mrs. Hayes explained. her story. It wasn’t much different from any one of half a hundred she might have told. The two women felt not the slight- est fear in walking through such a tough quarter of the town. Mrs. Hayes was an experienced settlement work- er, and knew many of the persons rwhom they passed. They for their part. knew her and respected her for Jthe kindly charity she dispensed so mostentaflouslv. Aa‘ for GIN-'11: aha Two Windows Looking Out Over the Roofs of Neighboring Houses.

The occupant of the room, a frail little creature with uncertain, golden hair, was known to her companions as Little Ella. Upon the blotter at the police station she was always booked :as Luella Windermere. She had found the name in a novel and, liking it, had taken it for her own. In the unkindly daylight, without the paint that mocked the cheek that once had bloomed a healthier hue, the pallor of her face was heightened by the dark circles under her eyes. Yet the rav- ages of a life too harsh for one so 'weak had not been so great as to blot entirely from her face the traces of a. rsimpering sweetness. If Little Ella’s room could be summed up in one word, that word would beâ€"sham. It was not a poverty .that honestly confessed itself to be such, that room. Instead it was a poverty that slunk away into corners .and hid behind the rankest imitations 'of better things. Everything seemed to have been purchased at the cheap "est booths at Vanity Fair. There were :few things of substance, but many things of vain and empty show. Had Gloria been more skilled in reading the world aright, every bauble, every tuseless ornament would have preached a sermon. As it was, there was for her in large part only the interest of novelty. To the right of Gloria were two win- dows looking out over the roofs of neighboring houses. Between them was a scarred maple dresser. It was littered among other things with post- card photographs, business cards, a calendar with a picture in many col- rors and a bottle of Florida water Di- rectly in front of her was the sick girl’s bed, a cheap iron affair with massive tarnished brass trimmings. Beyond it was a frail-looking trunk painted in imitation of leather. The only things which boldly confessed themselves to be just as represented were two wooden kitchen chairs. Looking close beside her, Gloria saw a battered maple washstand and be- ;yond it a door which led into a closet ‘under the stairs. She glanced curi- ously at the walls, which boasted some cheap prints, most of them showing by the advertising matter upon them from which whisky house they had emanated. Some of the girl’s waists and skirts hung upon nails, but the clothes which she had taken off the night before on retiring were upon a Chair beside her trunk. “I heard you were sick,” Mrs. Hayes said sympathetically, “and I want to know if I can do anything to help you.” her real old life “Much o Little Ella viewed them with cold antagonism. They were not of her woi'ld and she both feared and hated them. Mrs Ray‘s had worked too long among such 1‘301‘1v not to understand, and she ignoxed thogir} s unfriend}; manner by asking: “How do you feel today?” “Rotten.” “No wonder; it’s so close in here. I think it would be better for you if you’d let mo open a window. It’s mild out. May I?” “Gioria.” Mrs. Hayes asked, so the sick woman could not hear, “do you mind staying with her while I go to the mission for a few minutes? I want Mrs. Wallace to come over if she can; and the doctor, too, as soon as I can find him.” “Go as fer as yuh like; I don’t feel like fightin’.” A nod from Mrs. Hayes sent Gloria. to open a window. “There now,” exclaimed the younger visitor. “You’ll feel better." her? “Certain1y,I’ll stay,” was the prompt. response. “What’s the matter with “I can’t say until I see' the doctor, because I’m not sure. I want Doctor Hayes to see her. If I can’t get him I’ll get Doctor Norton. You’re not afraid to stay?” Gloria smiled. What was there to fear? The girl surely could not be- come so ill in the short space of time Mrs; Hayes should be away as to ren- der her inexperienced nurse absolutely helpless _ “Of course I’m not afraid,” she re- plied. Then impulsively, “Besides, I want to do some good in the world. I’ve been too selfish.” “No, dear, not that,” her companion gently remonstrated. “Thoughtless. perhaps, because you didn’t know, but not selfish”. Then she turned to Lit- tle Ella and said in the same quiet tone: “I think you’d be happier where there’d be some one to take care of you.” “I’m not sick, I’m just tired.” The ignorant fear sickness and dis guise it as long as they can, shirking the fight and thereby making it a" the N ‘7’! . - . ‘ .
