WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE
BY Virginia Terhune Van de Water

May 1 go up and wash for supper
Augustus?" Jane asked tremulousiy.
Sure! Pick up that other bag
I've got two myself-and come on
up"
II guess Mary's got water and every
thing here" Reeves remarked as ne
deposited the bags at the foot OF the
bed. This is our room, though there
a smaller one next to 1T that some
times use. There's bed in there, TOO.
You can keep your clothes in one
room, and I'll keep mine in the other.
He went into the adjoining cham
ber and lighted the lamp. Jane iol-
lowed him.
This is nice little room," she
said. II wonder if l might not use 1t
as a dressingroom.'
1T don't care" the man replied.
Call it dressingroom If you want to.
1t amounts to the same thing-a room
where you keep your clothes
She removed her hat and coat, and
going over to the washstand bathed
her face and eyes The cold water
served to check her hysterical inclina-
tion to cry.
She heard Augustus go down stairs
while she was arranging her hair in
front of the mirror. Then, as the
only exit from the small room was
through the large one, she put out
her lamp and went into the room she
and her husband were to share. A
chill seemed to strike her as she
crossed the huge apartment.
II hate this room! l hate it, she
whispered.
She paused for moment, battling
with the sensation of dread she felt
creeping over her. 1t was foolish, she
chided herself-senseless.
AS she stood still, battling with her
own weakness, she recalled vividly
story she had read years ago. 1t was
about a house in which a man had
committed suicide, and any sensitive
person who tried to sleep in the room
in which the poor wretch had died
was always seized with sense of in
describable horror
She shook her head impatiently.
Il am getting to be a silly fool"
she muttered. 81 will try to behave
myself like a sensible Christian and
go down to supper
And. eXtinguishing the light, she
hurried downstairs.

Chapter XXXI.

Chapter XNNl.
Copyright, 1915. Star Company
The night of James arrival In her
husbands home was one of the dreary
occasions of her life.
She had fortified her fainting spirit
with the hope that in Augustus
Reeves house was a woman who hav-
ing been young herself and having
known sorrow of one sort of another,
would have at least feeling of inter-
est in the girl who was to live with
her.
So tonight. as the depot wagon
driven by Dan turned in at the
farmgate, the young wife looked out
certain would be shining to welcome
her. But instead all the main part
of the big house was dark. Only from
the kitchen light glimmered.
The front door was locked and he
knocked loudly. a moment later was
the sound of bolts being drawn and
the door swung open, revealing Mary
Baird standing there with a candle in
her hand.
Why have you got everything dark
like this" Reeves asked gruffly.
What kind of way is this to have
the house when were coming home"
L was in the kitchen" the woman
replied in a sullen voice. Here's the
lamp on the table where it always is.
There are matches by it,
By the time that Jane had climbed,
unassisted, from the wagon, Augustus
had lighted the lamp.
Put the bags down here, Dan," he
said. Don't step on the carpet with
your dirty boots. Come in, Jane! I
expect you're most frozen"
Mary Baird, after standing for
moment, had started back in the drec-
tion of the kitchen as Jane entered the
hall
Good evening, Mrs. Baird" the
girl called.
She was determined to make friends
with this. the only companion of her
own sex in the house.
Mary hesitated, glanced around and
nodded. Good EVENING"" she NUT
tered, then added, "Suppers about
ready"
That's nice" the girl said TITS
bitter cold night. and l know your
supper will taste good"
But Mary went on into the kitchen
without another word.

CHAPTER 2.
The house that we live in is built
of selected materials. but the inmates
of that house. in building their own
tissues, leave everything to chance.
We spend time, energy, money and
employ the skill of architects and de-
signers in building home. We see
to 1t that the foundation stones are
well laid, the bricks and mortar of the
best, the beams solid, and strong; the
woodwork and plaster without flaw,

Installation of the boiler and inspect
the steam fittings. There must be no
guesswork about the gas pipes. The
electric wires must be carefully insu-
lated and. protected by proper fuses.
All the workers are trained and skill
full men.
But the work is not done. city

see that it is not defective Thorough
ness is the price we pay for durabil-
ity in house construction, for we know
that poor material, sham and veneer,
mere surface and show, will betray
themselves inevitably.
Oh, the pity of the shell house! But
even for such a house what careful
scrutiny is exercised in selecting rugs,
carpets, furniture and curtains. What
intolerance is declared at the discovery
of sham velvet loaded silk, imitation
feathers, shoddy fabrics, inferior
woodwork, cheap plaster, leaky pipes,
and badly fitted windows!
The house that we build to live in, to
rear our children in, to call our home,
must be an honest house.
But the inmates of that house, the
mother, the child, what of them?
What mysterious building process
