Finally, after a conversation with Leslie Harris, whom James once loved, Mas Julia I'ratt takes it upon herself to try to reason with Jane, who is destroying all her young husband's confidence in him self by her overbearinq and not ton well bred tactics. Hut poor Hiss Julia finds she has only loosed a tornado of wrath upon herself. Chapter 39. GREAT NEWS "OU know as well a I do, MIbb Julia' Jane almost shouted at her guest, "that the Judge and old Grandpa Stimson fcere always stuf fing him with drivel about his being the original boy wonder, certain to set the world on flro, "Naturally, he objected when I treated him like a human being in stead of a pampered poodle who Just had won a ribbon at a bench show. It's been nothing but object, complain, object, complain, ever since we wire married. "But 1 did think he was man enough to con tine bis complaints to me. I did think be was gentleman enough not to go on' In the highways and byways and spatter his own wife with mud. It aeemi, however, (hat I was mistaken.'' Miss Julia said simply, "Jane, 1 am horrified." She got to her feet and marched to the door. There she said, over her shoulder: "As far as I know, James has never complained of you to anybody. But ff he did, God knows I fill on Id never blame him." And that was the end of Miss Julia's attempt to set matters right between her two favorites. James that evening stayed down town to dinner at the new Rotary Club, and Jane had time, with ber mother's help to indulge herself In an orgy of self-pity, which culmi nated, when James got home, tn near hysteria. Jane sobbed that she was sick of New Concord, sfcit to death of being laughed at and Jeered at because of James' continued failure. He had promised her when he married her to take her away from New Con cord. He had asked her to be pa tient, to give him a little time. Hadn't she been patient? Hadn't she? For eight years she had smiled and endured and worked her fingers to the bone, putting up a front; mak ing a penny do the work of a dollar, entertaining his friends, pretending, 1 pretending, until she was worn to a ' shadow, that he was successful. And all the time James wus con tent to stand still, to do nothing, be nothing but a nmall-town lawyer ... just a country lawyer, making a miserable throe thousand a year. He was supposed tn be an orator. And the only ones he could corral , to listen to him were a lot of bump kins at the Rotary Club. If he were a man ... James listened patiently, with bent head. At last, when Jane was sobbing quietly, he said, "How would you like Topeka for a change?" "Topeka? I'd prefer Tophet to this ghastly little town." James explained that the Judge had decided that afternoon to let htm run tor the state legislature. His candidacy had been announced at the Rotary Club dinner. JANE stared at him blankly. "You might have told me , . . but of course, I'm only your wife. Nat urally, I should be the last to know." "McCullough only told the Judgo today he wasn't well enough to make the race. I could have tolephoned you, but I wanted to tell you my self." Jane (wont to bed that night a crushed and Injured soul, but by morning she was cheored and elated. What might have happened between the Stimsons if James had won his first political goal will never be known. Certainly Jane was both charming and stimulating and very patient with James during the next few weeks. She was correspond ingly cast down and Irritated when James failed of the nomination by one vote. James failed of that vote, and oth ers, becauno It was told all over New Concord lind New Concord County t'tat Mrs. James Stimson had satd that, white Andy number from up Doniphan was a perfect dear, his old trump of a wife ought to be locked In at home or else tied up in thj hack yard, Instead of be ing allowed to lag him to political conventions.

Janien had not the cour age to blurt out the truth to Jane. What good would It do? Jane was half sick with disappointment and disliked him enough as It was. Ha shrank from addfng fuel to her growing dislike. But her brothers were neither afraid of Jane nor tender of her feel ings. The twins, home for their Thanksgiving vacation from Kansas University, remote as ever and usu ally silent, made a point of mimick ing Jane In Jane's hearing: "Yes, old Andy Plumber Is a dean, a perfect deah," Norris informed Nnte in a high falsetto voice. 'I do believe the old goat's actually got .sex appeal." And tittered. "You don't say," Nate contributed. In equally higL' falsetto. "I do say. But, my deah, you should see his frump of a wife. She must have got her clothes at a rum niLge sale. And James actually ex pected me me, who's been East to school and had a yeah In Urope to invite the old rag-bag to dfnnah. Can you imagine It?" "But, my deah, you are of course tho wife of the candidate. It would have been poisonous, naturally, but we women were made to suffah. And even old frumps and old frump's friends have votes." "I would die first; yes, I assure you, my deah, I would die first I said to Jonnle Dodson" (Jennie was the greatest gossip in town), "I said, 'Jennie, Andy Plumber will nevah be anything socially until he locks his old frump of a wife In dog kennel.' Jennie was so amused. I thonght It was rawther good myself." "TTE HE I Very good. Very good ''Indeed. T have no doubt Jennie repeated it everywhalr. I have no doubt that ovunt mlly It got to Andy and Mrs. Andy herself. She must have been crysbed, yeB, my deah, crushed That witticism of yours must have tissuahed James his nom ination. Naturally, the Plumbers and the Plumbers' friends would never hnve dared lift their heads aftnh you had put them In their place!" Juno did not give ber devoted brothers the satisfaction of the an gry tlrudo they were expecting, but slipped noiselessly out of the side door ond v ent home. She was chok ing with hurt and mortification. Sho had never in her whole life been so bitterly wounded In her pride, her self-estoem.. Safe in her bedroom, she paced back and forth for hours, assuring herself that It was not true, that It was James1 fault, not hers, that he hnd lost that nomination. In her heart of hearts Jaue knew that the fault was hers. And since It is a common characteristic of all but the highest human nature to hate whomever one has Injured, June came close in the next few mouths to hating James. Everything seemed to go wrong for Jane that next year or two. She was fretful and unhappy and not very well. Her tongue grew sharper and sharper, her square little chin, which hud boon rounded by soft white flesh, becamo more and more aggressive as she lost weight, She "fell oft" In her looks, too, as Nappy said, "something scandal ous." Most of the friends of her own age were by this time married and having bubles, and all were too busy to llsLou often to June's com plaints or even to her funny stories, which now seldom failed of their sting. June ceased after a time to bo popular. The younger crowd, while they came to her parties, openly left her out of theirs. She tried church work and tired of that. She tried getting up a country club and failed, partly because she chose to be sarcastic at the wrong moment to Nan Hudson, whose husband had offered to give a thousand dollars. She tried running the Junior League, and made so many enemies In a few months that the members held an tinofllclul meeting behind her back and afterwards voted down en bloc everything she suggested, no matter how meritorous. More and more convinced was Jane that she id outgrown New Concord, and for dnys at a time she would barely spenk to James, Thoy might by now have been In Topeka. They might have been lr Topeka!

"Discipline Is the basic fundamen tal in character building. Solomon gives us the measure and secret of discipline Prov. 13; 24.
