Jane's people, ths wealthy North runs, are used to havina their way, and moat of Nei- Concord believes they uill retrieve James tor Jane.

Bhe remained there long enough to get her divorce. Jane's letters were a mixture o( pride and sel( pity self pity that she, of all persons, should be a di vorced woman, and pride In boasting of her many prominent and tltfed friends. Jane, It came out, actually lived at the home of a countess, one ot the ftaut noblesse who practically never condescended to know tmeiicans, and Jane was now hand In glove wlthothe countess' Intimates. Jennie Dodson, by direct question!, cruelly dragged It out of Mrs. Northrup that Jane stayed with the countess Hk paying guest. Why, after storming the holy social holies, Jane did not rerals. Paiis, Now Concord never found out. At acy rate In 1922 Jane took Ms tpsrtxient In New Trk and suit tor some of her silver and linens oow scorned the furniture aid irts- a-brao with which is'ie had started housekeeping.

He had done Jane one favor anyway by walking out on nor. Jane ought to be grateful to blm to her dying dny for that. resile Harris was now back In Now Concord. About the time Jane got her divorce Mrs. Harris was taken 111 and Leslie throw up her position In Kansas City and came Dome to nurse her. Mrs. Harris was never again very strong so Leslie stayed on at borne. Occasionally James met Leslie at some evening parly or ou the street and the meeting always left a pleas ant little afterglow. But It never oc curred to blm to go to see her and Leslie never especially Invited him. James sometimes wondered why Loslle had not married. That he bad had anything to do with It never crossed his mind. The years had passed over Leslie lightly and gently. Her hair was al most as golden ss evor. ber cheeks almost as pink, her eyes as darkly blue. Lesllo nave dancing lessons to young children. It was a pleasant thing to see Leslie give a lesson. They all, teacher and pupils, few such a good time. Everyone said 11 was a shame that Leslie did not marry and have children ot her own. Miss Julia Pratt had bsen bum bled and shamed by the cumDlete bankruptcy of James' and Janes' marriage. She had called herself an old fool a thousand times, had vowed equally as often never to Interfere again In anything so Invaluable, so Incalculable as other people's lives. But her real regret, and it was a poignant nagging regret, was for Leslie. Miss Julia knew that Leslie had been deeply in love with James Stlmson. In every way she could tt tried to make up to Leslie for what she bac done to her. She took the girl with her on trips, gave herei pensive presents, entertained foi her as'frften as Leslie would allow. Another autumn passed and a winter and spring came again. When ths hedge of lllao bushes which di vlded the Harris side yard from the Pratt's burst Into a glorious mass ol color and fragrance, Miss Julia could stand It no longer. Almost angrily she telephoned James Inviting blm to take Sunday evening supper with her. "I Have a little business I want to talk over with you," she lied bra zenly. fAB fatefcil Sunday eJtaw aad Miss Julia lrl not gr:o chares Instead, she and Mellssy, her hires' girl, got up at the crack of dawn and began to bake and brew and stir and mix.
