SYNOPSIS: Jams and Jan
Stimson are not getting along well.
It is obvious to all Sew Concord.
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

feat; everybody knew It except
Jane herself. 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! Oh, if she had married i
man and not a milk sop. Why, eve

ADVICEOF PASTOR
Speaking Sunday morning from the
topic "Parental Religion and Discip
line" at the Church of the Nasarene,
Pred M. Weatherford, pwtor-evange-Utt
took hit meMag from the second
chapter of 1st Samuel.
Hl remarks follow In part:
"The scripture we read discloses
the failure of Ell In the exercise of
parental discipline over his two sons,
who through their moral and spirit
ual failure, brought the priesthood
of their father Into disrepute.
"Discipline Is the basic fundamen
tal in character building. Solomon
gives us the measure and secret of
discipline Prov. 13; 24. 'He that
spare th his rod.hateth his son: but
he that loveth him chase neth him
betimes.' And again In 30:15 'The
rod and reproof give wisdom : but
a child left to himself brlngeth his
mother to shame.'
"Never in the history of our nation
has there been a time when discip
line was so much needed as at pres
ent, At Just such a time when Amer
ica needed the fruits of moral and
spiritual discipline and a profound
loyalty to Its principles of govern
mental democracy there has been a
decided slipping. Education that does
not give due recognition' to moral
discipline Is as likely to produce an

mature for discipline has opened tivi I
flood-gates to Imperial the moral life
of our republic.
"Dsclpllne Is our outstanding need
in the home. A child well disciplined
does not become charge to state
institutions of reform. If genius Is
developed In solitude, character is
formed by rigid discipline In the
home and the church.
"Divine discipline Is strict. It draw
a sharp line against sin and moral
failure. Transgressions against moral
rectitude are dealt with by the un
compromising hand of Infinite Jus
tice. "Parenthood that is lax in discip
line is laying the foundation for
disrepute to its progeny and disgrace
to itself.
"A soul filled with self has no
room for God; neither has a heart
preoccupied' by pride, any chamber
within where Christ may be born.
But that soul who' comes under di
vine discipline and opens the door
wide to Infinite mercy received the
gift of eternal life."
One soul responded In taking
Christ by profession of faith.
