winning for some day he meant to win jane did she think she could be to the world and not be his and if shi loved strength she should have it he bent his head in his hands his hands clasped tensely there uuh a prayer in his heart his whole being ached with the agony of his effort oh god ll me fight and win bring me back to the full measure of o man again he opened the book bits of printed verse dropped out of it jane had sent him this one who never turned his back but marched breastforward he opened the book and reau of jane ond of himself as he had once been re skipped the record of hie college deys except where he found such reference as this little jane is growing up she met me et the station end held out her hand to me i used always to kiss her but this time i didnt dsre she was differ ent somehow but some day ill kisa her and this jane is rather a dor- ling but i am beginning to believe that i like em fair that was when he had a terrible crush on florence preston whose coloring was blue and gold but it hadnt lasted and he hod come back to jane with a sense of refreshment he found at inst the pages given over to those first days after he had been admitted to the washington bar and had hung out his shingle sat at my desk all the morning great bluff one client received with great effect of busyness had lunch with a lot of fellows pan cakes and sausages ate an armful tea with three debutantes at the shorehom peachea dance at the oakleys in georgetown corking time one deadly moment when the butler took my overcoat poor peo ple ought not to dance where there are butlers autumn came jane and i went today to gather fox grapes mother la making jelly and so la jane the vines were a great tangle shut in among them we seemed a thousand mllea away from the world jane mads herself a wreath of grape leaves and looked ilka nymph of tha woods x told her so and aha gazed at me with those great gray eyea of hers and aald evana when the gods were young they must have lived like this with grapes for their food and the birds to alng for them and tha little wild thlnga of tha wood for company it would tvs heaven ly wouldnt mt shes s queer idd ufe with her wouldnt be hirmrlnim shes so intensely herself 0 we talked ut about tha war i told her i should go if svanea needed me i am not going to wait until this country gets into it wa owa a debt to ivanca he

wofrf totals of m csusde7a rnf the evening wrap which jane wera with her old white chiffon wss of a bright martnrma bins with e black fur collar jans aa has been aald loved dear color and when she dyed dingy things aha brought them forth lovely to the eye and trettvetvlnirivy picturesque rrederlcke house wss a plsc where polished floors seimad to dis solve in pools ot golden light where a grand staircase led up to balco nies where the callings were almost incredibly high the vistas almost incredibly remote frederick com trig towards her through those pools of golden light bloods big and smiling brought e swift memory of another blonde end heroic figure not lo evening clothes but to silver nrmor nun sel bedankt main lie ber schwon lohengrin that wa it a fat lohengrin she emended maliciously e unaware of this devastating rsti mate frederick welcomed her with the air of e cophetua he was un and be wss interested conscious of his ouitude ot conde tcinlon he wos much ottrocted but he knew of course that his in tirest in her would be e great thing for the little girl and he was interested a queer thing hod happened to him a thing which clashed with all his theories broke down the logic of his pre vloua arguments he hat fallen in love with tittle jane barnes at first sight if you please like a crude boy and he wanted her for his wife it was an almost unbelievable sltua tlon there had been so many worn en he might have married loveli er women than jane wittier more distinguished richer of more as- sured social standing he could have had the pick of them yet not one of them had he wanted here was little jane barnes bobbed hair boyish slender quaint in her cheop clothes and he could see no one else ot the head of his table no one else by his side in the big cor no one elc to share thr ciiitnornu days of honeymoon and the lift which waa to follow and so when young baldwin had telephoned of edlthe plans there had leaped into towne e mind the realization of his opportunity he would see jane among his house hold gods and ha would see her alone he had sent brlggs in time to have her there before the others arrived and now fate had played further into his hands ive hed another message from edith he told her well have to eat dinner without them the fog caught them south of alexandria and they went into a ditch they will eat at the nearest hotel while the car is being fixed up bsldye car always breaks st psychological moments said jane if it hadnt broken down on the bridge he wouldnt have found your niece and i wouldnt have known you he was smiling at her who would ever have believed thai so much hung on so little and now waldron the butler an nounced dinner and jane entering the diningroom felt dwarfed by the gargantuan tables the highbacked ecclesiastical chairs the tall silver candlesticks with their orange ean- dlse your color towns told her you aea i remembered your knit ting im crazy about brilliant wools aald jane aoma day i am going to open a shop and sail tham but ha knew that ahs would not open a ahop you wera like some lovely bird an oriole perhaps with your orange and black she smiled at him with tier chin tilted in her
