.FACIE SIXTEEN MEDFOTiD MATL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 19. 1935. MGOEHT RICHES tVj 4 r 4ifAfa6u Vow -FmhAahv 8YSOFSJ81 Jam and Jane Bttmson are settled in a house chosen by Jane, paid lot by her father, and furnished by I he latter and the wedding gueete. James find a alto that he is supposed to neijlect hi otrn Aunt Sarah tcho Uvea in the old house he viae born in. and always be on call at the h'orthruve' Jane's parent bore James and James bores the North' ruDs IttnUles. Jane has offrnrtrd James at her wine she has tied his upDv in thn sun ana u-miiit have tiled him but tor her tvtn brothers. Chapter 80 MONGREL JAMES was able about this time to pay back the twins for tholr timely care of Peter. On Sunday at the dinner table be noticed that the twins' eyes were red and that they ate scarcely any thing, Instead of stuffing, themselves until ther skins popped, as was their habit Mr. Northrup, too, was not bit chatty self, and Mrs. Northrup seemed more tight lipped and Iron clad than usual. As soon as they had a mouthful or two of lemon pie the twins excused themselves and disappeared. Afterward James found out from the cook that they were In the stable and followed them there. The twins were In the carriage room caressing a skin and bones mongrel dog which lay panting on pile of sacking. They explained that they bad found the mongrel following wagon driven by a drunken farm hand. Re bad flicked her with his whip and gone off on gallop. "They won't let us keep her." Nop lis got out. He was fighting back sobs. "They say we have to give her to the dog catcher tomorrow." "And she's a mother dog. about to have puppies," Nate explained un necessarily. "The dog catcher will kill her . . . and drown the puppies." He sniffed. "She loves us. She really does love us. See how she licks my hand." Nate broke down and cried James was close to crying himself. "Well, we can't have that," he said quickly. "I'll tell you what we'll do Terry, my old cockor spaniel, died last week of old age and Jett won't live much longer. Peter needs some one young to play with. Suppose we take her out to my old home and turn her over to Aunt Sarah and Aunt Lou. They're fond of dogs and they'll be crazy about tha puppies You can go to see them every after noon." Four round tear-streaked blue ehlna eyes regarded him worship fully. The poor suffering brute on the floor plumped her tall hope fully. "But . . . but suppose your aunt wouldn't like us hanging round so much," Nate protested gruffly. "Oh. Aunt Sarah and Aunt Lou are used to boys. They're pretty lonesome out there alone. They'll be tickled to death to have you." "I'll tell you what. Puppies cnt an awful lot after they get bigger We'll take them bones and buy them meat. We'd like to. Honestly." "That's a fine Idea. I don't suppose there will ha many bones with only two women In the house." "But bow will we get her out theref" Norrls asked. "She can't walk." The poor mother very evi dently was close to her hour. "I'll hire a carriage," James said briskly And did. Sally, as she was after wards named, wna tenderly con veyed on a pillow (off Nate'a bed) to her new home In the empty Man alon barn. Tha next morning Bally was the valnglortouely proud mother of three male puppies. The twins named them James the first, James the second and Jamea the third, ex plaining to the somewhat over whelmed recipient of this flattering tribute they were to be called. James, Jimmy and Jim. Though It was never evident to outsiders, Jnmcs now had two warm friends In the enemy's camp. And Aunt Sarah's and Aunt Lou's mo notonous lives hnd a new brightness. They said the Northrup twins were the two best behaved boys they had ever mot. JAMES learned a great many valu able things that first year of his marriage. He lenrncd not to smoke all over the house but only In his "den." Ho lonrnod thnt his hnblt of was Ing up each morning, cheerful and sportive as a young puppy, and at templing to romp with hit wtfo while she wns aloepy and cross wut a little less reprehensible than wife beating. (Jnne In fact stated she would prefer a homing ) Ha learned thnt wiping up the ark stained wooden bnthroom floor after bla bath with Jane's best mono g rammed towels was a wicked and perfidious rather than a meritorious act He learned that Jane believed that kissing should be kept for spe cial occasions, such aa partlnga or greetings, or good nights or good mornings or moments of high emo tion, but thought It silly and not quite "nice" now that ber first ardor had been satisfied to be kissed fre quently for no reason at all. James was perhaps almost overly demon strative and was certain to take of fense and get on bla dignity when accused of "silliness." The honeymoon was soon over for Jane. Nevertheless Jane was sensible enough to recognize the boyish affection In most of James' demonstratlveness and made a real, If always apparent effort to appear more affectionate than aha was. During all that first year and well Into the second year of her mar rlage Jane continued to be ridden with servant troubles. But It tpeaka much tor young Mrs. Stlmson't effi ciency that her house continued to be run as by clock work, that her closets and attlca and cellar could bear luapectlon at any hour of the day, that ber hired girl (New Con cord did not rise to the dignity ol maids until some years later i wai never, known to answer the front door bell In a frowsy dress or apron. New Concord rendered Jane due credit But It was also told with considerable relish by Jane's con temporaries jealous no doubt oi her big house, her constant enter talnliig that It was common gossip In the humbler qusrters of the town, aa well aa In the agenclea In Salnl Joaepb and Kansas City, that "aha" was hard to work for and "he" nlot and friendly but klnda glum. DOT Jane's efficiency was at last rewarded. When ah bad been married about seventeen months sbs found Anna, the perfect servant and her domestic difficulties wars solved. Anna was a large, raw-boned, washed-out blonde In ber late twenties, who bad labored In the flelde In Sweden, and tossed off ths work of the Stlmson household as casually as a farmer tosses aloft a pitchfork of hay. Anna was not beau tiful to look upon, having a large birthmark that covered her left cheek, and about wblcb she was ex. cesslvely sensitive. She suffered bo sides from a disappointment In lovs and bated bitterly not only the au thor of her woes, but all the rest ol his treacherous sex. We've got a new girl," James told his Aunt Sarah during one of their cosy Sunday afternoons before an open fire in the library. Miss Sarah was only too delighted to have Jamss to herself one after noon a wook. Miss Sarah atlll kept up the fiction, even with Aunt Lou. that she was pleased and happy at her nephew's mnrrlaco. But Miss Sarah petitioned her Maker nightly to root out her growing dislike for James' wife. Now she said, "Poor Jane seems to have had a hard time keeping a servant But thnt Is not unusual with young housekeepers." I have a premonition that this one Is going to stick to us for life," James answered lazily, and related Anna's history. Poor thing. You'll have to be extra kind to her." Not me. I've tried to make friends and been firmly put In my place. Anna has trusted one man hut never another. She has just about as much affection for me as she'd have for a poisonous snake." "That can't he very pleasant." "Pleasant? Plensant la the last word you would ever apply to Anna. Anna hs.1 made up her mind to be a lovelorn damsel the rest of her life." "Have you aald anything . . . any thing to Jane about moving bark to the Mansion T" Mlts Sarab asked timidly. "Thla big bouse la pretty expensive to heat In the winter. I thought that If Aunt Lou and I moved to the cottage, perhaps I could get along on less snd you could have part of the Income from what's left from your grandfather's astate." "What Grandfather left Is yours." James answered shortly. "No. 1 haven't said anything to Jane. Her house Is still a new toy. I'm waiting until she gets tired of It" "1 suppose that Is wise," Miss Sarah sighed. And talked briskly of something else. They usually talked briskly of something else after Jnne't name had her, mentioned. fCopyrtpM. JJ1. lfpl B. FarnAamJ Jamaa raalltia.
