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-

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

an apple tree and James had to help

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,

Jane's engagement. However, if
Jane felt she must have James and
no one else, Mrs. Northrop would
not Interfere. 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'

tested Indignantly.
"Such a funny old house," laughed
his fiancee slipping her band Into I
his. (The cult tor the Colonial, which
later was to rage so violently In New
Concord, had not yet appeared.)
"I never thought It was funny,"
said James stiffly.
"I was only Joking," answered
Jane quickly. "Of course the Man
sion Is very handsome of Its kind.
But It's so old-fashioned and lncon-.
venlent. 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. And Mother
says the most Important thing of all
Is for two young people to be by
themselves the Hrst years."
"But, honey, I've certainly told
you that 1 nover oxpeeted Aunt
Sarah to live with us. We've always
planned when 1 was married that
she and Aunt Lou niovo over to the
little oottago that was my father's
and mother's."
"Oh, but James, 1 couldn't be
happy turning your aunt, who Is al
most like your mother, out of her
own home," said Jane In a shocked
voice. Jamoa for some reason felt his
Irritation Increasing violently.
I m sure 1 would not turn my aunt
out of her home If she wanted to stay.
out sne doesn't. 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. "If the care of that great
big barn of a place Is too much for
an experienced old housekeeper like
your aunt, what do you suppose It
would be to a beginner like met" i
There was a loud silence between !
the two lovers tor a few minutes, hut. i
james watching Jane furtively from
a corner of his eye saw that her lips
were set In a firm straight line and!
ner cheeks wore unnaturally red
tie snin sulkily, "I don't see wh
It would be any more care than thai
Tyler hrthse."
Jane's lips suddenly relaxed and.
began to tromblo. She came and
stood droopingly In front of James.
I haven t llkod to remind you."
she said In a plaintive choked little
voice, "that 1 am giving up a good
deal when I marry you. Oh, I don't
moan tho monoy or luxuries or any
thing like that. What I do moan Is
my family especially my mother.
You don't remember your mother
and anyway a mother and daughter
are different sonio wnv from
mother and son. Thoy're clnr I
think. It seems sometimes ua if I
wore utterly selfish to go off and
leave my mother for an outsider I
barely know a few months ago."
But Jane . . . Interrupted James.
