PAflE TFN SvGREHT RICHES Chapter 47 NEW PLANS j JAMES was a little alarmed but more pleased to learn that Leslie still took It for granted that ho meant to carry out hli ambitious plans of which they had once talked o gaily and confidently. "But you seem to forget that I am now a has-been," James pro tested. "A has-Wa at torty-toree! Why, Jlmmla jbt, yo we barely more tit as grew u; aave rely reached yow full pamn.

Lesllo said, "But when the crash comes there his to be someone to clean up the mess. Perhaps that's your destiny Jimmy, to be that one." "One? God knows It will be too big, a thousand times too big for me or any man. But I confess I should like to be one of the many , . . like to try anyway." "Then you must." They reined up at the top of the hill. James said solemnly, "Very well. So help me Ood I will. I'll stop being a do nothing . . . I've been a do nothing long enough." Leslie said. "Bravo!" James turned to smile at LeBlle ind saw that there wore tears In ber eyes. "I'm crying because I'm o excited and . . . and happy," Les lie explained, blushing a little. "Does It mean so much to you , , . what I do? James asked wonder ing!?. "I'm afraid It does." James said, "For fifteen years I've thought that Robert Browning was in optimist and a liar. Now I know that be was neither. If you will go on believing In me, will be gracious snoiiRh to wnlt until I can prove that I have It In me to be something more than what I am now. . . . Will you wnlt, Leslie? Will you?" Leslie's Hps trembled. She shook her head and James went white under his ton. "Very well, my dear. I shouldn't have asked. ... I shouldn't have presumed on your dear friendship. But anyway I want you to know I menn to go on . . doing what I can. . , ." "I am forty-one years old," Leslie said. "Thore Isn't . . . Isn't anything you could ask me that I wouldn't do . . . except to wait. I've already waited eighteen years . . . and I couldn't bear ... I couldn't bear She touched her mare with her whip and was off on a gallop. James for a moment sat wntchlng her and then with a great shout made after ber. . . . THEY derided to be married In the spring Immediately after Easter. Their engagement was an nounced in November. New Cou cord bad been expecting the an nouncement for months and with two exceptions took it cnlmly. One exception was Mrs. North rup; Mr. Northrup had died of apo plexy a year or so before. The very next day Mrs. Northrup departed on a hurried visit to Jane. New Concord would have given a very great deal to have been on hand when Mrs. Northrup broke the news to James' ex-wlfe, the eminent Mrs. Northrup-Stlmson. When Mrs. Northrup came some she had a great deal to say about the succession of rich and prominent men In Washington ani Now York who continually seswsWL jr daughter's hand.

I've had a long tlrno to make sure. You aren't going to break my heart, are you, by oppos lng my marriage? You know I love you so much. Please tell me you aren't" "Have It your own way," Mr. Harris said gruflly, hiding his face behind clouds of strong tobacco smoke. "I notice that you generally get it , . . even If you have to wait eighteen years." "Oh, Father, what a libel," Leslie crted, hugging bim.

Leslie, with her mother's help, made every stitch of ber trousseau Including her wedding dress. She had besides to assist James, who was hopelessly Imprac tical In affairs of that Burt, In get ting the cottage in the Mansion grounds ready for Miss Sarah and Aunt Lou and then In moving them Into It. The Mansion had also to be put In ahape. The big house had had nothing done to It for years and years. It needed now bathrooms, new pantries and closets, noeded of course to be ropupered and painted from attlo to cellar. James engaged an architect from Knnaas City who was also some thing of a decorator and turned him over to Leslie. P,ut Leslie refused to settle a single point until she found out first just what her "Jimmy" wanted. Thereupon Jnmes went to work with a will and decided to have the downstairs hall papered In bright red, the library In a dnrker shade of the same color and the living room (once the double parlors) In rich crimson. ".My Ood, It will look like a butcher shop!" cried the soroly tried Mr. Sutcr. "I think It will bo beautiful." Leslie snld quickly. But there was something In her tone which made JaiucB have It out with her as soon as they wero alone. "Honey, do you really want the downstairs papered all In reilV" ho asked. "Please toll me honestly." "I wnnt you to have everything you want everything," said Leslie llorcely. "And red Is a beautiful color." "But, darling, I want you to have what you wnnt. I don't know much about such things and it'a to be your homo in a few weeks." "It's to be our borne," said Lesllo and came and sat In Jumt's' lap and sang a'llttle song to tho lock on the back of her future lord and master's head which now almost never stayed plastered down. "Do you know, donrest, it's amaz ing to mo how much more you in stinctively know about planning houses than that Mr. Suter," said Leslie a little later. "Listen to the woman ravo!" "No, darling, truly. Ho would have made this downstairs over Into a regular assembly hall and spoiled It for a home If you hadn't stopped him. And he doesn't know half as much about old furniture and china bb you do, not half." "Well, 1 was brought up with It and ha wasn't. Still I wouldn't say he seemed particularly Impressed with my color scheme. Do you think It would look a trille gory?" On talking It over James and Lfsdle agreed that It was im possible fsr anyoie t know Just how paper wouU lor4c cm m walls until It was trie.
