At least a part of the money went
Into vocational schools (or Serbs.
1 iter Jane quarreled with the Red
Cross commissioner (or the Balkans,
and retired to Paris. 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-

housekeeping.

It la perhaps syperfluom te pelsat

1923 for a brief and flitting visit,
ufcltely gowned and colffed and
manicured and massaged, wltk the
poise and manners of a ducknss,

But they no longer laugb at ker.

Miss Julia Pratt remains Incor

rather than enjoyed it. Year by year

The truth was that Jamea was out

xne materialism, the feverish tiara
bllng and chase after wealth, burt
and ogended him. Ills old ambition:
died one by one: and with them bis
old enthusiasms. He was content to
be a failure; a semi-failure.
When he heard now and then of
Jane's successive triumphs, be
smiled wryly. 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

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
