LESLIE'S QUE8TI0N
LESLIE HARRIS had never mar
ried, to Miss Julia Pratfi keen
and continued disappointment.
About the time of the birth of the
Stlmeon twine she had gone to Kan
eaa City, and aa the local paper put
It, "accepted" a position In Kansas
Clty'a largest department store.
There, to New Concord'a amazed
surprise ahe had In Ave or all yeara
worked up from a humble clerk In
the basement to the assistant to the
head of the department of women's
wear, and twice a year went East
with the buyer to help select gowna
and frocks.
All of the feminine half of New
Concord who could afford It, except
Jane Stlmson, bought their gowns
and frocks from Leslie aa a matter
of course. It was decided that this
not Inconsiderable patronage was
responsible for Leslie's success.
How else could a simple little dear
like Leslie have attained to such
business eminence?
Leslie, as a dressmaker's
daughtor, had Imbibed a natural pat
ter about lines and colors and styles
from her babyhood and ahe did
know how to wear her clothes, but
of course she was not really clover.
It was said that she made seventy
dollars a week, but New Concord
did not believe this. How could she?
Not half the professional men In her
home town made so much. ,
Leslie continued to spend every
other Sunday with her mother and
father. She came one warm April
afternoon to bring Minn Julia Borne
yellow and lavender tulips. "Seems
like your flowers always do bettor
than mine," Miss Julia grumbled as
he arranged her gift in a vase,
"even though you're not here to
look 'after them properly."
"They know how much I count
on them," Leslie laughed. "I tell
them I cannot bear It In the city
unions I know they're here bloom
ing for me. And then of course
Father does take wonderful caro of
them. He's a better gardener than
I ever was."
"It's a tine thing for your father
. . . for any man, digging and plant
ing In the good wnrm earth."
"It koeps him busy," Leslie said.
Anil changed the subject A little
luior she had drifted over to the
table where the vase stood and by
pulling a tulip here, loosonlng an.
other there, had changed a stiff un
happy bunch of suffering blooms
to a lovely group that relaxed grate
fully In the sunshine,
i With her nose burled In the tulips,
Leslie said, "Miss Julia, what's the
matler with Jimmy . . . with James
Stlmson?"
"Matter? I don't know that any
thing's the matter. What do you
ESLIF2 turned and seated her--
self on the edge of the table,
facing Miss Julia. "He's so changed.
You must see It. 1 sat behind him
In church. He looked so . . . so
dispirited. And there aro such deep
linos . . , bitter lines around his
mouth. Is It Jane who's done this
to him? Or what?"
"I don't know. I don't think so.
Jane's made him a One wife. Every
one says so. 1 suppose the trouble
Is. If there Is any, that we all ex
pected too much of James In the
beginning. He expected too much
of himself. And now he's old enough
to realize that he's Just . . . Just an
other run of the mill and nothing
out of the way. I dare say It hurls."
"1 don't think that's fair, Miss
Julia. It seems to be the fashion
In New Concord to belittle every
thing James does. He's only thirty-
one or two snd already he's made a
name ... a small name, hut a nome
... all over this section for his
sound sense and tustworthlness and
his real nnllHy ns a louder In court.
Mr. Ktllsnn hears all the newspaper
gossip. He says James has won
cases that would do credit to any
city lawyer of twice his age. And
he'a made a living, a fine living tor
a country town. Why then does New
Concord laugh at him? Why do they
dare refer (o him as 'poor James'?"
"Because James doesn't value
' mself enough, I suppose. If a man

"James thought well enough of

Miss Julia, you know as well aa I

"Yes, I mean Just that. Iff noth

Miss Julia, can't you do something?
Talk to Jane. Make her see that

Jane's life fa a failure, too. She
doesn't seem to realize that, though
It's so obvious. Someone must waka

"There may be something in what
you say," Miss Julia said uneasily.
"Jane Isn't always as tactful aa sha
might be. Perhaps she doesn't han

she means the best In the world."
"And you will talk to her?"
"I'll try. I'm afraid It will be dlf.
flcult."
Miss Julia went to call on Jan
and as Jane had expected her they
had tea In the back parlor. Jan
was In a good humor. It always
pleased her to have an occasion
to use her beautiful silver tea serv
ice. Miss Julia In her embarrassment
ate five sandwiches and a large
piece of chocolate cake before she
could gather courage to broach the
subject which had Inspired her visit
At last she put down her cup,
pushed back her plate and plunged
In head foremost.
" IANE," she said, "I've come hera
"to talk to you frankly about
James and I'm Beared to death. I've
been Interested In James since be
fore he was born. It occurred to me
the other day that we, you and I
and all of us who love James,
haven't been quite fair to him. Be
cause we expected so much of hlra,
oxpected miracles porhaps, we va
got Into the habit of making light of
the very substantial things James
has already accomplished."
Miss Julia went on to quote
Leslie, enlarging on James' past
and prosent achievements. Jane
listened Impatiently, studying Miss
Julia's embarrassed face curiously.
"Certainly Jnmes has made a liv
ing," Jane said, dryly, when Miss
Julia paused. "So have most of the
men of bis ago and condition. With
the Judge to ptiBh him and his
grandfather's name behind him I
don't see bow he could have helped
It. But I confess 1 oxpected more
from Jamea than a bare living."
"1 hardly call this exactly bare,"
commented Miss Julia tartly with
an nppraiBlng glance at the richly
furnished room.
"You know perfectly well Father
gave me thlB hnuBe. If I had to de
pend on what James made I'd be
living In a dump."
"You'd be living In James' own
house . . . one of the handsomest
hotiBcs In town."
"Yes, out In Nlggervllle with
darkles for neighbors. No thank
you."
, "Jane, 1 didn't come her to quarrel
with you and I don't mean to. I'm
fond of you and I admire you. But
aa an old woman twice your age
I've naturally learned a tew things
you haven't yet got around to.
"One of them Is that men are a
lot more sensitive and a whole lot
more vain than women. If you hurt
thnt vanity and that sensitiveness
they never amount to much. Women
are tougher. They can stnnd a good
deal of beating. But a man can't
. . . and be anything of a man."
"Are you Implying that I beat my
husband?"
"Not consciously, my dear. But
every time you remind him that
your fnther supplies your luxuries
It's a lash of the whip. And every
time you say what you Just said to
me, thnt If you were dependent on
James you would be living In a
dump, you make other people think
leas of him. That's only common
sense, my child. You've got plenty
of common sense. Think It over and
you'll find that I'm right."
"Has Jnmes been complaining to
you? Or Is It the Judge? That dod
dering old idiot always has hated
me. always has been Jealous of me.
1 suppose James whines to him and
ho passes It on to yon."
"You know how James was
brought up? Fed wllh a silver spoon,
waited on, deferred to like a little
king."

do with the story of "Love Me For
