Chapter !2
RECONCILED
jl y HEN Ihey were alone, Jane came
: ' v up to blm and slipped an affec-
tl late arm through bli.
She looked so pretty In her gleam
In satin and lace that James' Iriita
Uoa vanished and be could do notb
In; but agree that It bad been a
l;vui? dinner, and that he was glad
rlvy bad given It.
Jane, when she chose, could still
b very tender and alluring, and
now, of course, she must be most
carefully cherished and considered
Perbaps after the baby came
things would be different and Jane
not so avid for excitement. Jamea
knew be must have more time for
lis work, more time for study. Jane
wanted blm to succeed, expected
aim to succeed, but some way she
could not realize that she. as well
la he. must pay a price for that suc
cess. It was natural enough that
lane should not understand.
He would have to teach ber, lead
her Instead of taking always the
sasler course of letting her lead blm
Very tenderly he drew ber down od
bis lap beside an open window after
switching off the lights; "Honey,"
he began, "I want to bave a talk
with you" Jane yawned,
"I know that you are going to scold
and I am so tired," she coaxed.
"I'm not going to scold, dear."
"Then you're going to preach. I
teel It in my bones. Can't we be
happy like this on our anniversary
without thinking of anything but
pleasant things?"
Naturally, James did not preach
on this night: and It waa the same
on other nights. As the months
passed Jane was far from well and
he grew more and more Irritable
and leBS easy to please. James folt
guiltily conscious that It was all his
fault- i -
Jane Impressed It upon him tbat
tfia lot of women waa a hard one and
carcely to be endured. Mrs. North
rup looked at him accusingly every
time her daughtor sighed or refused
pudding at dinner, and Anna sniffed
scornfully whenever she passed him
his food.
Their Suudays were more awful
than James had conceived possible
He finally had given up spending
his free afternoons with his aunt
after Jane cried and cried and al
most had hysterics, claiming that
he did not love her.
Damn It! the lot of husbands waa
not always a round of voluptuous
enjoyment whatever Jane and her
mother thought about It Heaven
knows ha hadn't Invented the
method and manner of bringing chil
dren Into the world. He had thought
that women wanted children and
pitted old maids because of their
childless state.
nERHAPS it Is an exaggeration to
say that all of New Concord
was somewhat relieved when It be
came common knowledge that Jane
was "expecting." However, it Is true
that all those who had James' In
terest and welfare at heart were
rellovcd.
For some time during the close
of the second year of their marriage
the belief had become general that
things weren't going Just as they
should between this especially se
lected and uncommonly well-suited
young couple.
It was not that James complained
or Jane complained or that they
, quarreled In public or wero seen loss
often together. It was hard Indood
to define Just what seemed to be
the matter, but that there waa a
vague "aomothlug" everyone agreed.
And it waa felt or at least hopod.
that whatever ripples there wore
were caused enllrely by the state of
Jane's hoalth and would be smooth
ed out and forgotten "after the baby
came."
Nappy was perhaps the first one
to "suspicion" that James was not
as happy as he should be and he.
being worried, passed his uneasiness
on to the Judge.
"It's Mlstor James' hair," he ex
plained to Judge Holromb. "It ain't
been acting Jest right, not for a
long whiles."
"Ills what?" boomed the Judge
Impatiently. Ha was getting old and

The Judge laughed. "Sounds like

"Yes, sir," said Nappy who had
never heard of a Gorgon's head, but
would not bave admitted It for a
hundred dollars. "It's one and the

"But what has James' hair beene

"It ain't been doing nothing but

for a lamb to lay down with a Hon

"Nonsense," said the Judge. "Jim's

about nothing at all."
But tbougb he dismissed Nappy
and laughed at his diagnosis, he
could not dismiss altogether the
sneaking suspicion that perhaps
Nappy was right and that James
waa not looking nor acting quite
like himself.
He'd got him to knock off a few
weeks, go down to Hot Springs or
up to Chicago and tako in a few
shows. A vacation would nut him
right aa a fiddle. He should have
thought of It before.
JAMES dutifully took Jane and
went tn nhfrnen tnr a tvanu ht
when he came back Nappy roported
that hla balr was "laying" as flat as
when he left home. A few weeks
later when James confided Jane's
condition to the Judge the old man
was enormously relieved.
He patted James on the back, as
sured him cheerfully that there was
nothing to worr about, reminded
him of Jane'a genera! health and of
the billions of babies who came
safely Into the world without harm
to their motherB.
Then the Judge very wisely set
James to work on the very stlffest
legal problem be had ever before
had to handle and when he ImlBhed
that Immediately found him an
other. This last probably saved
Jamea from going all to pieces In
the following months, for he was
horribly frightened thinking of the
fate of his own mother.
Nappy continued to accord to Mrs
Stlmson all the respect and defer
ence due to the wife of his beloved
"Mister" James, but he never BRaln
thoroughly approved of hor. In bis
eyes any wife romnfned only a wo
man and a hantllcnp to any rcnl man.
But even Nappy forgave Jane one
frosty morning In early Derember
when James came stumping up the
flight of stairs that led to the office
and throw open the entrance door
with a magnlflcont flourish.
His eyoa flashed with their old

t KLAMATH PALLS. April 22 (APt
Five thcishand carloads of pota- :
toea have rolled out of the Klamath j
country to establish a new high for
1 the "baby industry" of this section
i of Oregon.
The crop, gaining top position In
! (he California markets, has brought
to farmers of the basin approxi
mately two mllUon dollars.
Regulated marketing as well as
quality, has been responsible for the j
success of Klamath potatoes this
year, many agriculturists believe. In
former years the crop has been ship
ped Irregularly, glutting the market
one day and leaving it empty the
next. This season shipment have
?one out of here In Just the propor
tions to maintain an active demand.
The average price ha been one
dollar a aack. Right now the market
In the south )s at a peak with pota
toes brining $2 per hundred weight.
Potato acreage has grown steadily
here in the last few years. The new
crop will cover about 15,000 acres,
one thousand more than the old.
