PAGE EIGHT BYSOPPIS: James Btlmson, Jtl, the "oatch" of h'ew Conoord, Kas., is doing well in Judge llolcomb's lou) office. And the ladies of Sew Conoord nave picked out hit future tcie tor him Jane Korthrup, daughter of the richeat man in town. But Jamee unaccountably prefers Leslie Harris, the printer's daughter. Mrs. Horfthrup tells Jane that Leslie undoubtedly has told James something that makes him think Jane no longer cares tor him. Chapter 1 LESLIE, VILLAINESS PT DON'T know that I ever did," 1 jane answered proudly. "And Bow that 1 know his taste In wo inen, I care less than before." "A common little thing like Leslie It's impossible that James should e Is love with her! I never did trust her. You'd think to meet her that but ter wouldn't melt In her mouth, but (he's a sly, double-dealing little minx. "Look hew she acted when you brought those army officers up here from Fort Leavenworth! She always bas been Jealous of you. Mark my words. She's said something to James to prejudice him against you." The mention of the army officers was unfortunate. A few months be fore Jane had managed to wangle an Invitation to a hop at Fort Leaven worth and promptly and triumphant ly corralled four of the most attrac tive and eligible young bachelors at Jane caught the look the Post for a week end of unprece dented and lavish entertaining. Her guests had repaid Jane by dangling around Leslie, dancing with Leslie, Ulrtlng with Leslie, slipping off to call on her every time Jane's back was turned. And now it was Leslie who was continually pressed to come down to the Post and very "very seldom Jane. Jane stabbed her mother to the heart by bursting Into passionate cobs . . , Jane who even as a child pUmost never cried. "There, there, doarle," Mrs. Nortb rup said soothingly. "It Isn't worth jerylng about I'll see that your father gets you that diamond and pearl bracelet, l haven't a doubt that poor James Is secretly eating his heart lout and running around with Leslie only to spite you. Why, you have only to lift yonr little finger to get him back." i Jane had already lifted more than linger, but she could not tell her another that. "I don't want him back," jshe sobbed. "I despise him. But It's all so humiliating. ... I wouldn't marry him If he was the last man In Ithe world, but I can't bear to have Ithat miserable simpering Leslie Growing over me and snatching away the only . . . only roally eligible pros pect In this . . . this mlsernble little bole." Mrs. Northrup's rnouth trembled, but thore came a dark vindictive gleam In her eye. Jane, tor all her brave protonse, was In love with that wretched weakling, James Stlm son. Mrs. Northrup never altogether forgave James for that moment when her darling broke down and cried In her arms. JANH was proud. And extremely Jealous of her dignity. She had few secrets from her mother, but she felt she would rnlher die than let anyone else guess that James meant any more to her than Nappy, his of Dee boy. So she gave a dinner and Included lames and Leslie and seated them nezt ts each other at the eitrome snd of the table. By Inviting one of the army wives and her husband OF BT, FALLS MOTHERS Parnt$ and tachri in Jarkson county, believing traffic acotdenta are caused by rrmedlable human babtts. are planning to launch an Intensive pafety campaign marr the direction of Ray Conway, itata chairman of the Oregon conpreaa of Parent' and Teachers' salety week. Mr. Conway haa a.sked Mrs. Walter Young, county president and organ lz;r, to handle tlie cnmpaln In this county, and she la asking the parents and trachers to work with her In the schools. The work at parent and teachers, Mrs. Young said, will be In Una with the "Let's Quit Killing" campaign carried on throughout the .itat by th Oregon. Mptor kcUUolu cliaiu- mil' Li It EOT RICHES from Fort Leavenworth, Jane was able to get another officer for herself not one of the four who had vis ited her and as he was a Southern er and a natural flirt, Jane managed to put on a good show at ber end of the table. But between laughter and gay sal lies she Kept ber eyes on James and Leslie. Up to this moment Jane had believed that Leslie bad deliberately ensnared James for no other reason than to spite her Jane. Leslie did not neglect the mas on her left, U anything talked mora to him than she did to James. But Jane caught the look that Leslie gave James when he was turned away from her. So the printer's daughter fancied herself In love with Gover nor Stlmson's grandson! No doubt she actually aspired to marriage In a family that would no more have thought of recognizing her father and mother than they would hav- thought of Inviting their garbage man to their table. If the girl had any sensitiveness, any de cent pride . . "Child, you're not doing your duty to the stranger within your gates," drawled the young captain who sat on ber left. "rvDTY? Do you think It's a duty" J laughed Jane. She looked no mora at Leslie and James. She had believed In James, believed that he Leslie gave James. was made of tinor stuff than the other village clodhoppers. Already ho had shown his feet of clay. Good thing for her she had found out In time that he was after all Just a country bumpkin. With his ugly rod hair, his gawky way of standing and sitting he was all arms and legs. He had no air, no polish. He blushed If anyone so much aa looked at him abruptly. Ho had about as much chance of being an ambassador . . . All the while Jane waB conscious, she could not have told how, that James and Leslie were holding hands under the table. That was the finishing touch. Of all the rude, Ill bred, gauche exhibitions . . . Jane was aware that a strong bony masculine hand was seeking hers. And presently found It and held It and pressed It warmly. There was comfort In that warmth and mascu line strength. She blushed and did not for a mo ment or two withdraw her hand. After all there were as good fish . . . better fish . . . But after Captain Henderson had gone and had sent her no more than a perfunctory note of thanks, with out seeking out the further meetings he bad talked about so ardently, Jano found It was not bo easy to re main contemptuously superior. If the twins would only leave her aloue . . . If she dared complain to her father . . . Jane had been an only child until she was twelve years old when ber amnzed and somewhat Irritated mother presented her with twin brothers. The twins, Norrls and Nate, literally almost from their babyhood, had made It clear that their twlnshtp erectod a sort of Im passable barrier between them and the rest of the world; their family Included. And the barrier was highest be tween Jnne ond the twins. She could not even understand them. (Copyright, tsSS, Maleel n.

Senator Plttman (T).-Nev.), presi dent pro tempore of the senate, or dered the public galleries cleared when Senator Robinson, Democratic leader, complained debate could not be heard. A few minute earlier, the senate had suspended business while attend ants searched for Chealey W. Journey, sergeant at arms, but he could not be located. Actually, the complaint at that time was that senator themselves were ma Icing too much noise, and Jurney was sent for to make senators keep quiet.
