with an old friend who is also In the army
whom she has not met In years. In fact,
she does not seem to be rs Interested In
up most of her thoughts. While the hrst
soldier was here he and | became very good
friends In fact I fell IN love with him,

NY dear you have no proof that this

is going about with this old friend.
You could not in honor try 70 win this
mans love il he is promised TO another

She was going to have all of that within

Yes, / was surprised that you had

foolish things" mused Mrs. Rowland.
"Do you remember the morning | told
YOU not to fall in love with love? | said

Her questions followed quickly one after

stunned"
well. what happened between you
and Jack to make you leave him down

Ruth flushed quickly at the remem-
brance of what had really happened that
afternoon between them. If her mother
had seen Jack as she had seen hin,
that afternoon she would never again
consider him undemonstrative.
II thought that you had chided him
fer his extravaganza. You have acted so
foolishly about spending money of late. y

WHAT does he say, dear9"
Ruth made no move to open it,
Aren't you anxious to see what he

Ruth burst out. When Jack comes will
you tell him I'll be out in few min

where she closed the door behind her and
turned the key in the lock. Then she
opened her precious letter
There were just few lines written in
the hospital Just few precious lines
but they told her that Scott was alive
and getting better, and she felt that after
that news she could bear almost every
thing. When she returned to the living
room to tell her mother the contents of
the letter her face was peaceful and
robbed of all emotion. She answered
her mothers queries in full until Mrs
Rowland looked suspicious.
Ruth, l don't know what has come
over you of late. You act so strangely
where Scott is concerned one would
almost imagine that you were in love
with him."
What an idea, mother"
Well mean it. Now, if you had

that although ! had once hoped that
you and Scott might care for each other
