So it was a relief for the girl to have a job of sorts to go ‘- each day. If Mrs. Goamorscg had not been a sin- ularly understanding and help- ul “patient,” she would have got aboard the next train and gone back to New York to live with Ruth until the camp season open- ed. But the work at Mrs. Golds- borough’s house did help. Jane found a new Mrs. Golds ae the first time she went to the huge, brown-shingled house on the other side of the hill, a Mrs. Goldsborough who could actually cry: “How wonderful to see you again, dear; how wonderful to have you back home after all these years. I missed you, I really | missed you.” INTO THIS | woe and, when the And this new Mrs. Goldsbor- | ough was a most ynderstanding woman.

It’s my job to see to it that he does become himself again.” “Splendid, splendid,” Tired, Mrs. Goldsborough had rested back apes tne pillow, “Now be a ild and get me some hot tea, won’t you?” So the wees passed, a week, a monotonous, trying and dispiriting week. All she wanted was a peaceful existence until the camp opened, and it got to the point where she found herself sneaking out of the house before breakfast just to make sure she wouldn’t have another battle with her aunt. A fact which her aunt soon noticed and soon resented, T am not a monster!” she de- clared from the porch the follow- By William Neubaver not know that I ¥ fool all these years.

If I felt that George, deep down in- side, were happy, I wouldn't think of seeing him again, But I know ‘George. I know what he wants. Why, the work he is doing for un- fortunates in Tuttleton right this very moment is an expression of what he wants. And I fit in. I'ma irl who became a nurse because £ too, want to help people. Don't you see?
