Chapter IS
ONLY HEARTBREAK
JAMES was In the midst of deliver
lng a speech before the assembled
Congress and Senate, with Leslie
looking proudly down from the visi
tor's gallery (a speech which the "In
terests" had not only offered blm a
cool hundred thousand not to make
but had threatened bloodthlrstlly to
"get him" If persisted In) and had
just moved bis vast audience to
thunderous cheers when he was
brought abruptly down to earth by
the sight of the father of his divinity
making uncertain progress up the
street in bis direction.
It was Saturday night and John
Harris always celebrated tbe close
of the week's work by going on a
glorious spree.
Kansas was a dry state, ot course,
but that waa a minor irritation when
one'a town waa ao fortunately lo
cated that a short walk across the
'bridge brought one to a more en
lightened community where a man's
liberty was not Interfered with.
Jamea waited In the shadows until
John had passed him and then
turned and followed him, keeping
out ot sight as much as possible un
til Jobn presently lost heart and aat
down on the curb and began an ora
ition to a staid lamp post, which he
evidently thought lonely and in need
of entertainment.
"I am thy father'a spirit.
Doomed for a certain Una to walk
tha night,
Till the foul crimes done in my days
of nature
Are burnt and pursM away. But
that I am forbid
To tH the secrets of my prison
house, I could a tale unfold whose lirhtert
Would harrow up thy soul, fretse
thy young blood.
declaimed Mr. Harris while James
hovered uneasily In the background
perplexed as to his next move.
He was afraid to leave the orator
alone and be knew from experience
that before long Leslie would come
seeking him. Not to save his soul
from all the horrors John was pictur
ing so eloquently would Jamea have
let the girl know tbat he was witness
Ito her shame.
In a short time he saw her coming
ewittly along, batlena and looking
like nn angel in her little white dress,
cu'linK softly so the neighbors might
not li ear, "Father. Father."
.1; :.ies dodged behind a bush and
pr : -i ntly Leslie came to her father
kiw :oaxed him gently to his feet
nml sot him started homeward some
bow. James, from bis hiding place,
could see the tears on her cheeks
and hear thi. sob In her voice, but
found never a scolding or complain
ing note there only heartbreak.
Young Mr. Stlmson continued bis
Journey home cursing saloon keep
ers, cursing brewers, cursing laws,
cursing politicians, cursing weak
minded drunken fools who broke
their daughters' hearts.
Just wait till he was a little older
and got Into politics I He'd make
them all sit up and take notice, the
dirty skatesl Before James slept
tbat night not only Kansas and Mis
souri wore bone dry but the nation
as well, thanks largely to the bitter
ily opposed and frequently misunder
stood efforts ot Mr. James Brewster
Btlmson 111.
John Harris was the reformed
(and grateful) owner of the Dally
Globe. Mrs. Harris had given up aew
lng and lived a life of elegant leisure
ta her renovated cottage.
And Leslie, her blue eyes swim
ming with happy tears, Leslie the
unattainable, the pearl among wo
men, had come close to him, and Im
pulsively holding out both hands,
was snylng tremblingly, "We owe it
all to you, Jimmy dear. If I can ever
repay you ..."
THKR1S waa more, much more and
even eweeter. ... It waa dawn
and the birds were singing before he
dropped Into happy slumber. To Jane
Northrup and her wealth of charms
or of her amazing desirability as a
wife he never gave a thought. There
was room in his heart at present only
for one small yellow-haired girl.
Why In the world should he bother
with Jane? Or for that matter why In
the world should Jane bolher with
him? What had they to do with each
other, anyway?
Meanwhile what of Jane North
rup? Was she or was she not In love
with James Stlmson? Had hla sud
den t deflection caused her only a lit
tle natural chagrin or wounded her
deeply? Was she going to lake it ly
ing down or make a fight to save
James from complete disaster?

Cat MaU Tribune want ad.
Miss Julia asked herself these
questions a hundred times dally and
discussed them endlessly with her
Intimates. Jaie tor the moment gave
no sign.
Wherever Jane was there was al
ways certain to be movement and ex
citement She liked Life spelt with a
capital and expended a boundless en
ergy In keeping herself from being
dull.
Jane's two years in Boston and one
year in Europe had made New Con
cord seen. Insufferably provincial
and insignificant. In her heart of
hearts she wa-i certain that she was
destined for far bigger things than a I
commonplace existence In a country
town, but she was clever enough to
keep such thoughts to herself and
make the best of what she bad.
At the turn of the century in New
Concord girls who left home and en
tered the business or professional
world, unless driven to It by finan
cial necessity, were almost unheard
of. Jane had never even thought of
any career except matrimony. There
fore, she must marry and marry well.
Jans was no flirt, as was so often
claimed, and not altogether unjustly,
of Leslie Harris. When she had been
home a few months she told herself
that It was time to think seriously of
her future.
It was after looking the ground
over thoroughly and considering
matters from every possible angle
that Jane came to agree with the
good ladies of New Concord that she I
and she alone in the town was emt- ;
nently fitted to make the Ideal wife
for a rising young politician with
unusual talents.
Whether she was or was not In
love with James Stlmson, Jane was
not yet positive herself. Certainly
there was no one else. But there was
no hurry about deciding. She and
James were barely twenty-three.
JANE, for all her boasted common
sense, waa vat vounz enoueh to
believe that there was some alchemy
In the very dreaming of dreams that
made them come true. She spent
many a halcyon hour that spring and
early summer building her castles In
Spain.
From the age of sixteen Jane had
longed secretly to have a "salon" in
Paris. And if the Judge was right
and his protege the wonder he
claimed, an ambassadorship was not j
utterly ou'. of the picture. It would be
easy to love an ambassador ... even I
a future ambassador. . .
James, who seemed the most likely
candidate, became more and more
glamorous in Jane's eyes. Her
dreams became less selfish. She
longed quite honestly to help James
and to further his career in every
possible manner.
And she was very certain that she
could. Hadn't she read ot dozens of
famous men who asserted that their
wives had "made" them? It was an
enticing allure.
James, to be sure, was far from
measuring up to Jane'a ideal. He
lacked altogether that grand man
ner which had been bis grand
father's, lacked self-assurance,
lacked Indeed most of the things that
Jane bad once thought indispens
able. But James was . . . well . . . adapt
able. He could ba polished and
smoothed and groomed ... by the
right woman. Yea, she would marry
him. With all the ardor of a convert'
to a new faith Jane longed to begin
making ovor James.
And then . . . and then ... to be
dropped so abruptly and unceremo
niously for Leslie Harris! With all
the town looking on, prying, snoop
ing, conjecturing , . . and watching
ber like a hawk! It was hardly to be
borne.
Jamos would have been horrified
and aghast If he had realized for a
moment that he had given Jane
Northrup any reason to think that be
wanted to marry her. He was as yet
in no position to marry anyone.
But aided and abetted by her
mother, Jane always took It for
granted that any young man who
came more than occasionally to the
bouse or took her out was in love
with her. The most casual compli
ments, repeated to Mrs Northrup,
were assumed as declarations of an
undying passion.
Twenty years later, oven the most
lukewarm former admirers, no mat
ter how happily married, would be
spoken of in the bosom ot the North
rup family as "poor" Tom or Harry
or Dick.
But now, with the entire town ring
ing with tales of James' open Infntu-
ntlon for Leslie Harris It was a little
hard for even Mrs. Northrup to go on
saying "poor James' convincingly.
She managed It by assuring Jane
and herself that "Leslie Harris un
doubtedly has made up some He to
make James think you care nothing
about him."
