Chapter 21 GENTLE JANE JA.NE3 mother went north mat same summer, with the two younger children, but Jane decided to stay and keep bouie tor "poor father." Kansas days are hot In August and hardly to be endured. Kansas evenings are sent as a recompense. When there Is no moon there are certain to be myriads of stars look' Inc big as altar candles In the soft summer air. There Is nearly always a breeze, a breeze fragrant with trowing things. One's own concerns seem petty, Beetlng, on a Kansas night and there Is healing raaglo to be found for weary aching hearts. James envied oo one their gay bustling resorts. He was content, things being as they were, to stay at homo. When after a bit he grew lonely of listening to the voices of the night, he found Jane always willing to listen with him. Gentler and gentler be grew and more and more piquant ly alluring even provocative. One never-to-be-forgotten evening In mid dle September Jane dined at the Stlmsons and afterwards she and her host strolled In the woods. James found himself telling her the story of his grandmother and grandfather and how they first came to Kansas. "It's like an Idyll," said Jane soft ly. "Their love was always so beau tiful. Do you suppose they're still to- somewhat aghast with the swiftness with which one momentous event followed another and with the for everness and finality of succeeding events. James would have liked to have kept the engagement a secret tor a while, but Jane would not have It that way. tine said she wanted all the world to share In their bappl-i ness. James felt they ought not tol marry for a vague year or two" until his Income was more certain, but Jane claimed she wanted to be poor with him and wished to share his every struggle. It was Jane, therefore, who de- LICENSED REALTY (ether, up there, somewhere? It doesn't seem It could die ... a love Ilka theirs. "I hope so," said James simply. "If lore can die there doesn't seem much reason tor going on.' "You're "o beautifully understand' log. Most men would laugh -at me ror what 1 said. But, of course. would not say what I did to anyone ise out you." They talked a little longer of Life and Its ephemeral fieetlng swiftness and wondered anew what It was all bout, agreeing finally that It was best to gather one's rosebuda while there were yet rosebuds for the gathering. And then the most astounding thing happened. Jane's hair got en tangled in a low-hanging branch of an apple tree and James had to help her unloosen It Standing so close to Iter, be was suddenly vividly eon. sclous of a little tender clinging curl growing low on her neck and he felt Be must kiss that curl: and he did. A moment afterward Jane was In his arms unresisting and gloriously kissing him back. A little later she released herself but held out her nana to him, "I knew this was coming trom the orst, James dear, she said tenderiv "I knew our marriage was written to the stars.' Now what could a man do after mat but consider himself entairnrt and his kisses an offer of marriage? jane evidently so considered them and after all he hoped ha wasn't a ead. They went back to the house rarner tremulous and a little fright ened. Their engagement was an. Bounced the day Leslie came home irom tne North. T E-'SLIB took It calmly.

"The poor simp," was Nate's pity ing comment Thereafter the twins nevor spoke In Jane's presence of tholr future brotherln law without sighing and shaking their heads. Jane could af ford now to Ignore tholr taunts. The laugh was Indisputably hers. James then and for years after wards consltlored It a miracle of Heaven that a truly superior person like Jane should care to marry him He was fairly startled, however, and FOR PK GOOD Despite a heavy penalty set forth In state law for violation of the act prescribing licenses for real estate brokers and salesmen, there have been several unlicensed operators at work In Medford and vicinity, according to the Medford Realty Board.

Bhe Insisted firmly trom the first that It was utterly out of the question for her to consent to Jane's living so far away as the Stlmsons at tbo extreme edge of South New Concord and was espe cially determined on this point after the Tyler place, most opportunely, was offered for sale. Mr. Northrup, as soon as the Idea was suggested to him, agreed at once to present the Tyler place to James and Jane as his wedding present. Mr. Northrup could alwaya be trusted to do the handsome thing. In this case he volunteered not only to buy the house with Its ample grounds, but to furnish It after It had been renovated and re-decorated' Inside and out In the most modern and lavish manner possible.

Besides, dear and sweet as your Aunt Sarah Is and much as I love her. 1 do want to make a home for you all our very own.

She says the care of the Mansion has grown too much for her. She's quite looking forward to moving over Into the cottage she and Aunt Lou." Well, 1 like that." said Jane sharply.
