herself. She had wanted the girl
to have a good home of her own
one day, which was why she had
never spared herself any expense
insofar as the house was con-
cerned; when Jane was ready to
settle down in the community
she'd have a sound house and
beautiful gardens of her own.
And now j. rising, she washed
the dishes, placed them away,
then went out TO the porch and
opened the mailooX.
She had been doing that eagerly
every morning since the Willful
girl had left PittSfield. Always
there had been hope that the girl
would have had a change of mind
But day after day she had rum
mayed through the box in vain.
IF you leave you are dead to
me-" she had said, and Jane had
apparently taken her at her word.
She went through the mail quick
ly. A bill from the grocery store.
a telephone bill, an electric bill,
a letter from an old friend who
had gone to California for her
health-and a letter from Janet
TEARS misted her eyes and
L logged the lenses of her glasses.
For one of the few times in her
life she cried out with pleasure.
Her hands trembling, she scurried
into the house and sat down at
the same desk between the win
dows that she had used the after
noon she had decided, after all,
to do her duty. She sliced the
envelope open with the mother
of-pearl letter opener she had in
herited from her grandmother,
and again she cried out with
pleasure when she discovered
that Jane hadn't written one of
her maddeningly brief notes this
time. Humming, she went back
into the kitchen. heated up the
remainder of the coffee, then sat
down on the wicker sofa in the
sun porch and settled back for
a good half-hour of reading.
And it was letter that didn't
let her down. 1t began in chatty.
rambling way---in itself an indi-
cation that this was one letter
that was-really going to be diff
ferent. As she read, Aunt Hattie
became acquainted with Mike

Moore and DR.. Bruce Hall. She
had the chance to exult over her
niece'S stunning victory in the
swimming meet and she also had
the chance to wander, with her
niece, through the lovely woods
which surrounded Camp JOY on
all sides. Finally, she had the
chance to weep with her niece
as her niece read page seventy
five of a certain diary and learned
that George, grateful to an over
worked nurse who had saved his
life, had attempted to give that
overworked nurse the romance
and recreation she seemed so des-
perately to need. It was the end
of a dream. Aunt Hattie read
through her tears; il was the end,
you might say, of a certain night
mare. Just like that. the romance
was over. over for good.
Worn out .emotionally. Aunt
Hattie replaced the pages in the
envelope and sat rocking agi-
tatedly on the porch. About the

but although she had always been
very fond of bees. they being
industrious creatures. too. she
scarcely noticed them. Nor did
she notice a ruby -throated hum

high trill of excitement to feed
from the throats of the nastur-
tiums. Blast himl" she said furi-
ously. BLAST him, blast him, blast
him!" Now her opinion of Jane
a big change. Now she
saw her niece in the position of
being abused and cast aside, and
she longed to have a pointed talk
with the man who had hurt her.
But presently her anger ebbed.
she could see his side
of the argument. Helped. he in
turn had endeavored TO help. It
had been an utterly stupid way
to try to help a person, but at
least his motives had been good.
And Jane was lucky to be out
of the nightmare at last.
Yes, Jane was very lucky in
deed.
When you clung to dream. a
childish dream of romance. YOU

NEW YORK R-Basic charges
for rail travel could he lowered ii
an experiment with reduced coach
fares on Eastern railroads is sue
cessful this summer.
Any such move would reverse
the higher trend that followed ris-
ing costs of operation after World
War /.
Fifteen rail systems in the East
plan to offer reductions of Is per
cent or more to small groups and
families travelling between June Is
and Oct. %.
It's a frank bid 10 fill up vacant
space on train coaches.
If this happens, one rail execu-
tive said today, ''It could prove a
real turning point in fares"
Facts gained from actual ex-
perience are needed before any
general move for fare reduction
can come.
The cost of running a train Is
about the same whether it carries
a full load of paying customers or
just a flock of empty seats.
So If you can be induced TO leave
the family auto at home and ride
the coaches at reduced rates, the
railroads can cut down or elimin-
ate huge losses they now suffer
from operating passenger trains.
These losses last year totaled some
6S1 million dollars on Class rail-
roads (those doing gross business
of million or more annually.
Should the attraction Of reduced
fares put passenger service on a
paying basis. as Eastern rail Off
cials hope. il will be good news
not only for all who travel, but
also for shippers whose freight
payments have to cover present
passenger losses.
These freight charges enter into
the cost Of nearly everything you
buy.
So possibilities Of the fare ex-
pertinent are pretty broad.
They extend far beyond the East.
ern territory. Although the union
Pacific has similar plan in ef.
feet in Idaho only, Western roads
generally have not adopted the ex-
pertinent. But they viii be watch
ing its outcome closely.
Here's what the Eastern lines
are offering, subject to approval Of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and various state commits
sions:
Groups of three or more adults
travelling together can buy group

only, at Is per cent less. Families
with children under Is years get
