But I can't be happy If you force me to hurt Mother 10, Just at this time." There seemed nothing for James to say after that but that of course they would live In the Tyler place. But ha said It ungraciously. When be kissed Jane goodnight she clung to him with unusual tenderness and whispered shyly In his ear how much she loved him and how happy he had made her. Jane was not overly given to tenderness or demonstrations she accepted rather than gave so James squirmed In his chair, bnt said no more. In his heart of heart ha felt the arguments were all on the side ot his aunt. Mr. Northrup was as good as bis word. He not only bought the Tyler place at a generous price but bad the deed made out In his daughter's name and told her she could go as far as she liked In making It over to please her. It was a conventional brick house ot the typa much favored In the eighties when It was built, and Jane spent many radiant weeks In over seeing Its alteration. JAMES went through the bouse with Jane from cellar to earreL Ha thought It was hideous and could manage no more than a grudg ing, 'It Isn't so bad." 'I should say It Isn't, yon nn grateful old bear," Jane laughed. But wait until 1 get through with It Wait until you see my plans." Jane did not seem to be offended, but neither did she show him thi plans nor Invite Jamea to Inspect tha bouse again until the carpen ters and plumbers bad finished and the painters and paper hangers were about to move In. Then she led him proudly to the second floor to show blm two shin new bathrooms actually two batb DRUNK MAN OFFERS $20 FOR SLEEP ON y Fl vmimmammwmmmmmtimmmit Iff !lisP . Jana whispered how muoh she loved him. James left ber with a mingled tumult of emotions. But as be came out from the Northrup'a front door and saw the Tyler house loom Ing darkly before him, he glared at It balefully and felt that a thousand mocking eyes behind those hooded tnrlng windows were glaring bale- fully back. James and the Tyler house were npon enemies from that moment and they never more than barely tol rated each other at any time there after. In the morning tha unpleasant . task awaited him ot breaking the news to bis Aunt Sarah. As he ax pected, aha took It badly. Bhe was not only angry she was bitterly of fended and she and Jamea almost quarreled. James naturally defended Jana. "But wouldn't any girl want to live near her own mother," he argued. "That Is any girl who really loved her mother?" -it seems to ma that If your mother could come here from Ken tucky and your grandmother all the way from New England that Jana Northrup might be able to live a couple of miles from Nortb Fifth and Oak Streets," said Miss Sarah, her voice trembling. "ITTELL, I know, but Jana la an ' ' only daughter and her mother goes around crying because she Is leaving home and . . " "Indeed?" sniffed the other. "1 wonder how Mrs. Northrup managed to II vo through the three years Jane was East and In Europe?" "But Mrs. Northrup spent most ot ber summers In the East with Jane." "And there's nothing to prevent ber spending as many hours as she wishes ot most of the days In the year with Jane as long as they live In the same town." "Well, then, this house Is pretty big tor a young girl to take care ot." "The Tyler bouse Is not small. The trouble with this place Is that It Is too far away from North New Con cord where most ot tha young people live. Our neighbors aren't very fash lonahle.

He hoped to have one entirely to himself, but Jane explained that one In the front was tor her use and that of their guests, while be would share the back one with their servant Ob well. There was a single bathroom In his old home. Jane bad not been able to change the shape ot the rooms as she wished but she had added a bay window to tha back parlor and had nearly all tha doors on the lower floor torn out and enlarged Into open passage ways, flanked on either side by solid oak pillars. "I like a house to open up grandly and glva an air of spaciousness," Jane pointed out "It will be so nice when we are entertaining." She waited for compliments. James thought that an entire downstairs that could be seen at a glance looked like a hotel. He said bluntly, "Wbon 1 go In a room 1 Ilka to be able to close the door behind me, lock It when 1 want to." "That's rather old-fashioned, Isn't it?" "Perhaps I'm old-tashloned." "Perhaps you are. I'll have to edu cate you out ot It Anyway, you'll hare the library. I've planned to make that your special den. Ton can lock yourself In there aa often as you please." James Inspected his future sanc tum gloomily. At least It had a fire place and bad had a black marble mantel. Now that was gone and In Its stead stood a horror In elaborate ly carved oak with little fretted bal conies which reached to tha celling. It stood back to back with Its twin In the entrance hall. Between them was a square opening with Its top and sides lined with mirrors. The opening destroyed the last vestlgea of possible privacy In the library. What's the Idea of that holer James asked. Isn't It pretty? That's my Idea entirely. I mean to keep fresh flow era (here They'll be reflected tn the three mirrors." It seemed so awful to James that he laughed. 'Copyright int. Ualeel B.
