Jane wriggled in ecstatic anticipa-
ton. She worked out in her mind to the
mlnutest details what she meant to do
ana say, so that no avoidable contre-
temps should balk her design. In the
midst OF a blissful vision of next dav at
the factory, the forewoman's plans merged
into dreams.
She did not wake up until her alarm
clock clattered the signal to iumn ont
of bed.
THE factory day at the busy little plant
OF the Ajax Electric Company began
at seven O'Clock. The Office force, how
ever, was not required to report for duty
until half past eight. The forewoman
quivered with eagerness during the long
hour and half of waiting. Jane had
dressed with especial care for the role she
meant to play this morning. She wore
her "secOnd-best tailor-made," of dark
blue serge. 1t lent to the stalwart girl as
well groomed and efficient an appearance
as man would have presented in a freshly
pressed business suit. Her hair was a
compact pile of braids, securely battened
with halr-pins and combs. Her hands
had been scrubbed to immaculateness-
though she could not disguise their cal
loslties and scratches. Her keen blue ewes
snapped with zest.
promptly at half past eight the fore
woman took the elevator upstairs. She
walked briskly into the general Office, |
holding her head high with confidence.
A smile slightly parted her lips. Jane was
breathing rather fast in her excitement.
yet now, at the crisis, she was thoroupblv
self-possessed. She felt cockily sure that
her plan would succeed just as she had
worked 1T out in bed the night before.
NO smokers Knocked the forewoman's
dignity this time The dozen pairs of
feminine eyes stared at her, in astonish-
ment first; then every girl of the office
force smiled. There was not an audible
giggle, however.
Several of the young ladies had a
hard time smothering their titters, but

with his back to the elevator, stood
near the middle of the general Office.
None OF the stenographers or clerks dared
augh outright at Jane under his ewes.

hat.

woman greeted cheerily.
