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.
