Chapter Jf
DEATH
JAKE wu too weak to more than
smile wanly when Jamet pushed
a hoop or brilliants on her Anger and
laid a mau of pink rosea on her pil
low. She looked so white, so exhaust
ed and so ethereal that, after Mrs.
Northrup had left the room, James
suddenly knelt by the bed and burled
bis bead In bis arms and sobbed.
Gone was all bla gaiety; gone his
sense of reckless happiness and tri
umphant pride. Memories of Jane'a
agonies of last night and early morn
ing overwhelmed him. It seemed bor
rlble to blm that he could bare gone
strutting up and down the street
half shouting, laughing, being
slapped on the back, the center ot a
noisy throng, while Jane lay there so
close, so very close to the shadow.
What coarse rough things men
were at best, how undeserving of the
women God gave them I
Jane lifted a weak band and laid
It on her husband's bowed head.
Jamea took 1. in both his and kissed
It over and over. They were closer to
one another, more In accord than
they had been since their honeymoon.
Perhaps they both said a little
prayer and made a solemn petition
that they should be permitted to con
tinue In the beauty of this perfect
understanding the rest of their lives
at least James made this prayer
and he rather thought Jane did too.
A tiny fretful wall startled James
and he lifted his head. No wonder
the babies were crying. He'd forgot
ten to give them their presents. A
nice father he was. Why, he'd barely
looked at them, never even waited
until they were dressed before he
rnshed off down town.
Drying his eyes somewhat shame
facedly, Jamea tiptoed around to the
other side of the bed to a flounced,
lace-hung much-berlbboned cradle.
One small red-faced bundle was lift
ing Its voice in a feeble complaining
little wall.
The other lay so still, so waxy
white, that Jamea, his heart pound
lng queerly bent over quickly to in
vestigate. He raised up sharply and
Jane watching him, smiling tender
ly, saw li't.t all the life hud gone out
of his face.
"What's the matter!" she cried
Jerking herself to a sitting position.
I don't know nothing," an
swered her husband and ran from
the room calling Mrs. Northrup. She
came. The nurse came followed by
Anna. Doctor White was hurriedly
ent for.
It was too late. The second twin,
the little daughter, had taken one
look at her new home and quietly
lipped away. What hurt her father
most was that aha had not stayed
long enough to enjoy the beautiful
new doll he had brought her. She
was so little and helpless end so
dreadfully alone.
He wonderod. lying awake at
night, whether she bad found her
way back to where she had come
from. There were some things James
found that did not bear thinking
about He got out of bed. switched
on the light and tried to read.
From the front of the house came
clearly to his ears an Impatient fret
ful little cry. Later In the night he
heard the sound of Jane sobbing.
But when be went in to her he found
Mrs. Northrup there before him and
the motioned him away.
THE loss ot her baby was a great
-1 shock to Jane in her weakened
condition and she was a long time
In getting back her strength. The
elder twin, the boy. suffered too from
loss of vitality and was a continual
worry to them all.
Mrs. Northrup and the doctor got
one of those new trained nurses
from Saint Joseph, whom Anna
hated almost as much aa If she bad
been ot the opposite sex, but whose
dependable efficiency gave James a
feeling of comfort and strength.
For the first time In bis life James
was glad of his father-in-law's
money. Ills bills multiplied and grew
and mounted until he was frightened
He considered going to the Judge for
a loan, but Jane Insisted that bo
should go Instead to her father.
Jamea went reluctantly, his face
red with embarrassment. Mr. North
rup waa kind enough, looked over
the pile, said he would attend to
them. But belui u tot James v
read him a lecture about his extra
gance in buying Jane a dlamoii
ring when the twins were born.
Jane had plenty of diamond rlnt
and If she wanted more her fatht
would see tha she had them. It wr,
foolishly reckless tor a young mai
earning less than three thousand i
year to Indulge himself in buylnc
diamonds. Not that Mr. Northrup ob
Jected really. It merely served tot
an excuse to give Jamea a little talk
on the value and uses of money of
wblcb Mr. Northrup considered him
criminally Ignorant.
Jamea admitted the extravagance
ot the ring and that Jane did not need
It. That he bad paid tor it himself
that he did not expect Jane'a long
and protracted illness be did noi
explain.
He would have liked to snatch the
bills out of Mr. Northrup's tat white
hands and cram them and his big
black cigar down his bugs throat,
but Instead be murmured something
about paying the money back as soon
as he could.
ill expect It back the day roosters
lay eggs for my breakfast," said Mr.
Northrup and shook all over with
relish of his witticism.
James suddenly realized that he
not only disliked his father-in-law
but came perilously near to hating
him. And yet be took bla money-
even asked tor bis money. James
loathed himself the next tew days a
thousand tlmea more Intensely than
be disliked Mr. Northrup.
HE! BEGAN during this period to
reallte clearly tor the first time
some of his own weaknesses and dls-
abilities. And with this realisation
came creeping in. inevitably, the first
doubt of the certainty of his grand
future, the question of his ca pa bill
ties.
If Jane would only be more pa
tient, not expect miracles of blm. If
she could understand better the
practical difficulties ... or his own
limitations! But perhaps Jane did
understand him. Perhaps ehe under
stood him too well. Perhaps that was
the real reason she refused to have
another James Stlmson In the fami
ly and Insisted upon naming her son
Norrls Northrup Stlmson after her
father.
Aunt Sarah had been so hurt at
Jane's refusal to name the baby af
ter Its own father that she could not
talk of it to anyone not even to
Aunt Lou.
James was bitterly disappointed.
He had taken it as a matter of
course, aa predestined as the move
ment of the r'.nrn. that there should
some day be t fourth Jamea Brew
ster Stlmson to carry on the name.
Jane, prompted by her mother, bad
announced her firm Intention nevor
to have another child and James, re
membering all she bad gone through,
was quick to agree to that
And then, to have his one son
named after someone else, named af
ter a man he disliked ! It was small
wonder Jamea felt somewhat embit
tered and began to lose, even mors
surely than had Jane, the belief In
himself the Judge had worked so
hard to build up.
Mrs. Northrup fairly lived at the
house during Jane's Illness and slow
convalescence. James bad never felt
so much In the way, so unwanted
and uncared for In his Ufa as ha did
during the unhappy months that followed.
Anna made It plain that she
worked tor blm only because sh
was paid to do It and that she re
sented bitterly every added footster.
he caused her. Jane waa so takes
up with her Illness, her doctor, hei
hahy, she had not time tor her bus
band. Ho was "shooed" so regularly
out of the sick room and the nursery
that after a time he almost lost In
terest in bis son.
1 reckon It's a Northrup baby and
not a Stlmson," he onre said angrily
to his wife and she agreed Instantly
that the boy was her father ovei
again.
Perhaps because she remained
nervous and high strung It became
almost an obsession with her to find
only Northrup traits In her child.
When Miss Julia said the baby did
favor" James about the eyes, Jane
was positively rude In denying the
semblance.
She was so very tactless about the
matter that It came to be a favorite
Joke among ber young friends to
come In to see little Norrls and claim
that he was the Image of his father.
This they did partly to tease Jane
and partly because they resented the
way she treated Jnmes.
Already, among his Intimates,
James Stlmson was referred to gen
erally ss "poor James."

TALENT GARDENS I
FEWER IS YEAR:
TALENT, April 33. (Spl.) The
cold, late spring has delayed garden
making to some extent In this vicin
ity and has also caused the early pro
duce to reach the market later than
In other years.. However, some aspar
agus Is being marketed this week and
radish and spinach growers are busy
getting their produce to market.
Joe Stevens sold his first crop of
spinach last week and will soon be
gin cutting the second sowing. Geo.
Hartley who has the earliest radishes
of the season began bunching Thurs
day. For the last two or three years
anyone who had a two by four plot
of ground planted a garden, selling
the surplus, which resulted In a slug
gish market and low prices on all
produce. But apparently normalcy
has returned to the truck garden
business as there are very few back
yard gardens, comparatively speaking,
being planted this spring. Gardners
should find market conditions Im
