SYNOPSIS: Uueh to tverubodyi eatlefactlon in New Concord Rot., Joeelbly excepttng hie own and Let' It tiamf Jamee attmeon, III finds htmeell engaged to Jan Korthrup Jane'e wealthy lather inetete on buying them a houee and letting Jane decorate it although James prelate to live In the etately firlmion maneton on the edge 01 town. Jane tokee him to look through the houee when ehe hae finished with It. and Jamee thtnke it eo awful he taught. Chapter 23 RED CARPET JAMES kissed Jane and told her be was a wonder. He tried tben to appear enthusiastic. He agreed that the plentltude ot gleaming pol ished oak made a delightful golden glow, though be thought It dreadful Later, when Jane bad forgiven him and was discussing furniture tnd color schemes, be even essayed t few tentative suggestions about his preferences. "I'd like my den papered In red," he said. "And a rlcb red carpet would look like a million dollars on the Italrs." Jane laughed. "This Is woman's work," she countered airily. "Don't (o bothering your blessed old bead worrying about something of which you know nothing." A day or two later at an evening party In their honor, James over beard Jane laughing contemptu ously over bis "alleged taste." "Would you believe It," Jane went in, "James wants the entire down stairs, ceilings, walls. Boors, papered nd painted and carpeted in bright Turkey red? And bolts and bars on ill the doors. He thinks the only use tor a door Is to slam it and bolt It." "You might feed him red meat through the bars," Sam Fletcher suggested. "Yes, doubtless It will go with his sura," Jane laughed. Everyone laughed except Leslie Harris, who was seated on a cushion on the floor. "The loveliest bouse I've ever been In Is the Haskells In Tort Leavenworth," Leslie said quickly "You know Mrs. Haskell was one of the Wbltneys from New York, tihe tnade the house over Inside and she has a crimson carpet on the stair way. The walls are white and there Is an Iron balustrade. I thought it was beautiful. And it must be as It's been pictured In 'House and Garden. Mrs. Haskell says crimson Is the richest color there Is," "Mrs. Haskell Is red headed her self; that may account for It Well, everyone to his taste. And taste Is never arguable. Is It?" Jane asked frigidly. - "Yes," said Leslie flatly. "I think a good many ot us might argue whether . . . cortaln things are in good taste." "And who is to decide?" "One's own liner Instincts ... if one has tbem." Leslie Jumped to her feet and made for the piano. "I'll play. Let everyone dance." She broke Into that new success, "I'm the Man Wbo Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo." James went out to the front porch nd smoked a cigar. He had left Jane sitting .Hushed and discomfited. James' heart was warmed with sneaking glow ot which he knew be ought to be ashamed. . . . Still Leslie was right. It wasn't in the best of taste. He supposed he'd catch It go ing home. . . . But the Incident was never men ttoned by either James or Jane. James noted that at subsequent par ties given In his and Jane's honor Leslie Harris was conspicuous by ber absence. In the meantime the preparations tor the wedding went furiously on A WEDDING between a Sttmson and a Northrup naturally was no ordinary event. For weeks and months Jane and her mother had de voted themselves to making It the most brilliant wedding ever held In New Concord, It not In the entire state ot Kansas. The bride's frocks were purchased In New York and the wedding gown came straight from Paris. The lingerie was made every bit by hand In a convent In Saint Louis. The table and bed linen were Imported from Ireland and every piece mono- grammed. There was to be a caterer down from Saint Joseph and an orchestra np from Kansas City and a canopy and crimson carpet (Imported from God knows where) at both the church and Northrup doors. The governor, a United States sen- ator and two Justices ot the Kansas supreme court were to stand In line at the reception Immediately follow Ing the ceremony. James and the Judge were responsible for the nota bles. The Northrups did the rest. The last night In his old home By PERU, Ind.( April U. (p Merle Rasputin, daughter of Russia's mad monk, U In Duke's hospital here as s result of an encounter with a black bear In the circus animal arena to day. Twelve stitches were required to clone wound In her right arm and left leg. In the arena were three bears, two Hons, two tigers, two leopards and two pumas. John Elliott, a veteran trainer, also was in the big cage with Marie. One of the bears, It was explained, does a roll-over set. tn going through this routine, the bear In some way struck Miss Rasputin and knocked ber dov. Tle uUmai luuoixliAteljr GREAT RICHES before bis marriage James sat long on the broad low steps of the front veranda between the white Corin thian pillars and brooded over the morrow. He bad Just returned from the elaborate church rehearsal. It was very late, but tired as be was, he felt no desire tor sleep. A great depression, an utter weariness of spirit had settled upon blm like sn old man of the sea and refused to be dislodged. Doubts and ques tions which had pursued blm at In tervals for months now crowded about blm, Jeering and mocking. He was not thinking of Leslie. He bad bardly thought of Leslie tor a long time. It was marriage and Its overwhelming toreverness at wblch be rebelled. With his bead against a white pillar he closed bis eyes and prayed long and fervently that be might prove a better husband than a lover and make Jane happy. He vowed that she should never, never guess that be bad rebelled at giving up bis freedom. Very wearily he rose and went upstairs to bed. It was because he was tired that be felt so depressed. There bad been an unholy lot of parties. Jane herself was on the brink of flying to pieces, and no won der. Perhaps even now she was lying awake, as unhappy as he was. For one mad, glad moment James planned to fly straight to ber and beg to have the wedding that was to engulf them both put oft until they were both a little more certain. But ot course this was madness. Jane loved blm and he loved her surely. When he finally slept he dreamed fitfully of the first James and of Sarah, bis wife, whom be bad loved and cherished so tenderly. They re garded him pitifully and whispered together, but would not come close and take his outstretcbed band no matter bow bard he pled. But It was not his grandmother who turned and looked at blm for a moment with tender suffering eyes and then vanished, but Leslie Harris. HE wakened to find Aunt Sarah In a long white wrapper and curl papers bending over blm. "What Is It? Are you sick?" she asked anx iously. "You cried out as If you were In terrible pain." . James found himself still wracked with sobs. "Nothing," he got out "I . . I've been dreaming ... a night mare." "James, dear, you haven't been yourself for weeks. Aren't you hap py. Don't you want to be married?" "No." MIbs Sarah sat down abruptly on a convenient cbalr. "Oh, my darling boy, this Is horrible ,,. . horrible," she whispered. James said nothing. "But don't you . . . aren't you In love with Jane?" Miss Sarah persisted. "1 suppose so. 1 don't know. I'm too young . . . I'm not ready to be married. Jane's all right, but 1 don't like ber mother and her poddy old father, nor those damned twins, al ways staring at me as If I were some sort ot Insect they'd like to stick on a pin and see wiggle. If 1 could take Jane away from the lot of them It wouldn't be so bad . . . but I can't. 1 can't go through with It I Just can't ..." Miss Sarah braced herself to her duty. "It's too late now," she pro tested In sn agony. "You are a Stlm son. You cannot . . . cannot go back on your word." James threw his arm over his eyes, as If . . , as If he could not bear the sight of ber. Miss Sarah choked back a sob. "I haven't . , . haven't been altogethei pleased with Jane," she went on humbly. "I bave never . . . been able to bring myself to forgive her for forcing you to leave your own home. 1 keep dwelling on tbnt . . , and I shouldn't The dead have no rights. Jane owes no loyalty to your grand father." "But I do, I do. If only Jane could understand. ..." "You must make her understand. That ought not to be bard, once you are married, once you have ber to yourself. Remember, my darling, that Jane loves you. And Jane will be a Stlmson, not a Northmp, when she Is married." "You think . . , feeling as I do . . . that I ought to go on with It?" "What else can you do? ... at this late hour? I would rather cut out my tongue than tell you so. But to humiliate a young girl . , . before the world A Stlmson could not do It." "I suppose not," James said dully. "Your grandfather would have been proud of you," said Miss Sarah, tremulously. "I hops so," James answered doubtfully. "I'm not proud of my self." (Copyright. liJI. Uateel B. rarnham) Jamtt has a wild hops, and loses It, tomorrow. Jumped on the woman trainer and began chewing and mauling her. Hel Uott succeeded In getting the bear sway and Bert Nelson, another train er, rushed in and pulled ml Ras putin to safety. f EUOENE.

No argument will persuade Ochoco forest ranger, J. O. F. Anderson that beevers don't plan. "Last fall," said Anderson, "I took pictures of beaver dams on Cold Spring guard station and noted that the beavers were doing all their tim ber cutting In an aspen grove below the dams and dragging their los up stream. I wondered why they did not work In trie grove at the upper end where aspens were much closer to the dam. Thla winter I found the answer. When the deep snows came and the shallow waters froze solid, these ener getic loggers quit work on the lower dams and moved to a new setting where the water was deeper and tim ber nearer. They have been working like a bunch of highball lumberjacks all winter, , "I don't believe. It Just happened that way. They seemed to have the whole procedure well planned In ad vance." Anderson says this beaver colony Is now Increasing and the usefulness of Its work in Impounding moisture is demonstrated by the 100 per cent In crease In the nearby meadow area watered by Cold Spring. , M.
