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.

"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

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

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

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

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 . . .

But after Captain Henderson had
gone and had sent her no more than
a perfunctory note of thanks, with

Jano found It was not bo easy to re

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.

Public gallerlea In th unite were
cleared Tuesday for the ftret time lit
many years after the senate had been
unable to find It aergeant-at-axma
to maintain order.
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.
When the confusion ontinued,
however, Plttman suddenly ordered
that the public galleries be cleared
His order did not Include the pri
