Of the visiIantes.

His picture was In the lOcket she
wore. Every half hour she would stop
her work to look at 1t. Sometimes, her
face wistful, she would show 1t to the
other workers, voicing the anguish that
with every waking breath she drew
twanged holloway In her mothers heart.
One afternoon Mrs. Farlow's oldest
daughter came hurrying In. Her face
was white. She had just learned that
the Rainbow division had been ordered
overseas.
Mrs. Farlow rose, her face tragic.
One glance she gave about her, then
she collapsed, sinking to the floor. In
her fall she overturned a huge pile OF
antiseptic gauze Just torn into squares
for Triangulars No. 13.
The room instantly was In confu-
sion. Instantly every one sprang to
the mothers aid-that is. every one
but Mrs. Britt. She rose and rescued
the bandages under foot. Then, her
face hard as nails, grimly Mrs. Britt
went back to her work. When Mrs.
Farlow, still stricken, was led away to
her car outside. the drab figure In the
corner was pfugging away as mechan'
ically and methodically as ever. The
one glance she threw over her shout.
der at the weeping woman was almost
contemptuous.
A hard woman, Mrs. Britt; a heart.
q
For days nothing was seen at the
auxiliary of Mrs. Farlow. It was I'M
derstood that in her grief and appre-
hension she was Ill In bed. Then one
afternoon, pallid and Quivering, she
came in at the door. She smiled visit
fully when the others gathered about
her. "Let me work." she appealed
plaintively. "Work may help me not
to think"
Her sandases Worthless.
| She took q bandage and tried to
sew. She made poor work Of 1t, how
ever. Then her head sank on hel
breast and the bandage slipped from
her hands. 81 can't-oh, I can't!" she
wept.
Once more she was led away.
The same thing happened three OF
four days later. A week later the
mother wandered In again. By now
the fjrst of the troops were in thu
trenches, and her pale, Transparent
face was like wraith's. She took {
bandage; she tried to sew, and for {
third time Mrs. Farlow gave In.
"Oh, my boy, my boyI" she walled.
The next instant face was thrus
into hers. The face was Mrs. Britt's
and the hard. bony visage was culver
ing with i'll concealed anger and con
. tempt.
"Sit downi Stop I'll" said Mrs
Britt. With one hand she thrust Mrs

in the world. A diamond will cut

Mrs. Britt was such woman.
have seen hard women in my time,
but never one who was harder. She
smiled seldom, and when she smiled 1t
was like the glitter of Ice. She spoke
infrequently, and when she spoke her
speech was the tinkle Of hail on slate
roofing. She did not look as If she had
ever wept in her life.
Every morning. Mrs. Britt appeared
at the Red Cross auxiliary in upper
Broadway. She was the first to arrive
in the morning, the last to leave at
night. No one knew much about her,
though. She was not the sort that
make condolences. But that she was
worker-a hard worker-no one would
dispute. Efficiency, as you'd suppose,
was trait OF Mrs. BrtttS.
Are Efficient Women Hard?
y-dreadful word that! How
often hard women are efficient! How
often efficient woman are hard! She
was both, Mrs. Britt. The moment she
came in at the door she had her hat
and jacket off. The next instant she
was at her place, her mouth set, grim,
austere and hard-hard at work. Prob
ably she did her work only from sense
of duty. Hard women always profess
that trait. Duty, duty! But, then,
few women are as hard as Mrs. Britt.
In contrast to her was Mrs. Farlow.
She was soft and womanly and gentle
the exact opposite. She was not
very efficient, of course, though she
tried. Day after day Mrs. Farlow sat
at the work table, her mouth culver
ing, smiling wistfully, the tears starting
in her eyes. The bandages that came
from her were often soiled and rum
pled, poorly sewn, too, by her poor lit
tie trembling fingers. 1t was q won

Mrs. Britt.

other she thrust at her the half I'm
ished bandage. Her tone as grim as
her face, she spoke, and again the
sound Of It was like hail pattering on

There was a murmur OF remon-

flashed q look about her. But when
she spoke again 1t was to Mrs. Farlow
she spoke.
Think Of Your Son.

war;" she said. "If you thought lit
tie more about them and a little less
about yourself you'd be doing some
thing. You'd be helping your son, for

"why. what do you mean7" gasped
Mrs. Farlow.
Mrs. Britt smiled another adamaat,
icy smile.
"Your son wouldn't die for want of
care. Any one. Of those bandages I've
seen you ruin might save his life. Any
one of them might save the life of
some other mothers sonI"
Mrs. Farlow shrank as II she had
been struck. Shed never thought Of II
that way before.
The silence, the grim reserve, which
had cloaked Mrs. Britt seemed for q
moment to quit her. 81 have no son."
she said, her finty voice biting out the
words. II had one, but he died at
Guantanamo. 1t was In the Spanish
war;" snapped Mrs. Britt "and there
were no understanding. That's
why he died. That's why I'm here
now. It's to keep other women-moth-
ers-from becoming the sort Of woman
/ am" A harsh, brittle laugh escaped
her. "Oh. know what you think Of
me. I've heard what you said. Well"
said Mrs. Britt, my son wouldn't have
died like that maybe II hadn't sat
around smiling and snunling, never
doing a thing"
Then, her lips drawn into q bony
smile. she glanced about her once
more and stalked back to her place In
the corner.
That night Mrs. Farlow rose from
her place at the bandage table and
sought the table at the back. For the
first time that day Mrs. Farlow had
managed to create half dozen band
ages. none of which had to be thrown
away. Timidly she held out hand to
the drab. dingy figure In the corner.
T-Tve done better today" she said
timidly.
Mrs. Britt looked up at her. Out of
the corner Of one CLASSY eye something
welled, then fell, running slowly down
her cheek. 81 ..s-..-
