SYNOPSIS
CHAPTER VI.
Jane Me»ta Mr. Parcher.
JANE thought almost exclusively
of Mr. Parcher until breakfast
time and resumed bur thinking
of him at interval* durlug the
morning. Then, in the afternoon, a
series of ijuiet events not unconnected
with William's paBslon caused her to
think of Mr. Parcher more poignantly
than ever. Who can say, then, that it
was uot by design that she came face
to face with Mr. Parclier ou the public
highway at about 5 o'clock that after
noon ?
Mr. Parcher '.van walking home from
his office, and be walked slowly, gulp
ing from time to time as he thought
of the inevitable evening before him.
Ills was not a rugged constitution,
and fur the last fortnight or so he had
feared that ii was giving way alto
gether.
Walking more and more slowly as be
approached the dwelling he had once
thought of as home, be became aware
of a little girl in a checkered dress
approaching him at a gait varied by
the Indifferent behavior of a barrel
hoop which she was disciplining with
a stick held hi her right hand. When
the hoop behaved well jj^ie came ahead
rapidly; when It affected to be Intoxi
cated, which was most often Its whim,
she zigzagged with it and gained little
ground. But all the while, and with
out refereui-e to what went on concern
ing the hoop, she slowly and continu
ously fed herself iwith her left hand)
small, solemnly relished bites of a slice
of bread and butter covered with apple
sauce aiij powdered sugar.
Mr. Parcher looked upon her, and he
shivered slightly, for he knew her to
be Willie Baxter's sister.
Jane checked her hoop and halted.
"G'd afternoon, Mr. Parcher."
"Good afternoon." he returned.
Jane looked up fit him trustfully and
with a strange, u neons- lous fondness.
"You goln' home now. Mr. Parcher?"
she asked.
"I suppose so." he murmured.
"My brother Willie's been at your
house all afternoon," she remarked.
He repeated, "I suppose so," but in
a tone of hopeless animosity.
"He Just went home." said Jane.
"He kept lookin' ha k at your house.
Miss Pratt was on the porch."
"I suppose so." with a moan.
"My brother Willie isn't comin' back
to your house tonight, but he doesn't
know It yet."
j "What!" exclaimed Mr. Parcher.
"Willie isn't goin' to spend any more
evenings at your house at all," said
Jane thouslitfully. "lie Isn't, but he
doesn't know It yet."
Mr. Parcher {razed flxedly at the
wonderful hlld, and something like a
"Willi* isn't going to spend any mors
avenings at your houss."
ray of sunshine flickered over his har
ried face. "Are you sure be isn't?" he
said.
*~I know he Isn't," said demure Jane.
"It's on account of somep'a I told
mamma." - . ^ ^..
A new feeling budded within bis
bosom. He was warmly attracted to
Jane. lie wished the Bullitt and Wat
son families each bad a little girl like
this.
-"He'll come toi the afternoons, I
guess," said Jane. "But you aren't
home then, Mr. Parcber, except late,
like yovi Were that day of the Sunday
school class. It was on accoilht of
what you said that day. I told mam
ma what you said."
Mr. Parcber'S perplexity continued.
"What about?"
' "About Willie. You know!" Jane
smiled.
I "No, I don't."
j "It was when I was layin' In the
I llberry that day of the Sunday school
! class." Jane told him. "You an' Mrs.
Purcher was tnlkln' in there about
Miss Pratt an' Willie an' everything."
"Good heavens!" said Mr. Parcber.
summoning bis memory. "Did you
hear all that?"
"Yes." Jaue nodded.
j "Murder!"
j "Well," said Jane. "1 guess It's good
j I did, because look—that's the very
reuson mamma did somep'n so's be
can't come any more except lu day
time. 1 guess she thought Willie
oughtn't to behave so's't you said bo
many things about htm like that. So
today sbe did somep'n, an' now he
can't come any more to behave that
loving way to Miss Pratt that you
said you would be in the lunatic asy
lum If he didn't quit. But he hasn't
found it out yet."
"Found what out. please?" he asked.
"He hasu't found out he can't come
back to your bouse tonight, an' he
can't come back tomorrow night, nor
i duy after tomorrow night, nor"—
"Is It be.'iiuse your mumma Is going
to tell him be can't?"
"No, Mr. Parcber. Mamma says he's
] too old, an' sbe said she didn't like to,
I anyway. She Just did somep'n."
"What? What did she do?'1
"It's a secret," said Jane. "I could
I tell you the lirst part of it—up to where
the secret begins, 1 expect."
"Do!" Mr. l'aroher urKed.
"Well, It's about somep'n Willie's
been wearln'," Jane began, moving
closer to him as they slowly walked
onward. "I can't tell you what they
were, because that's the secret, but he
had 'em on him every evening when
he came to see Miss Pratt, but they
belong to pupa, an' papa doesn't know
a word about It.
"Well, one evening papa wantea 10
put 'ein on, because he had a right to,
Mr. Pareher. an' Willie didn't have
any right to tit all, but mamma couldn't
find 'em, an' she ruinuildged an' rum
mldged 'most all next day an' pretty
uear every day since then an' never
did find 'em, until don't you believe I
saw Willie Inside of 'em only last
night! lie was startiu' over to your
house to see Miss Pratt in 'em. So I
told mamma, an' she said lt'd haf to
be a secret, so that's why I can't tell
you what they were,
"Well, an' then this afternoon, early,
I was with her, an' she said, long as
I had told her the secret in the first
place, I could come in Willie's room
with her, an' we both were already In
there anyway, 'cause 1 was kind of
thlnkin' maybe she'd go in there to
look for 'em, Mr. Pareher."
"I see," he said admiringly. "I see."
"Well, they were under Willie's win
dow seat, ull folded up. an' mamma
saki she wondered what slie better do,
an' she was worried because she didn't
like to have Willie behave so's you an'
Mrs. Pareher thought that way about
him. So she said the—the secret—what
Willie wears, you know, but they're
really papa's au' aren't Willie's any
more'n they're mine—well, she said the
secret was gettin' a little t^eny bit too
tight for papa, but she guessed they
—I mean the secret—she said she
guessed it was already pretty loose
for Willie. So she wrapped It up, an'
I went with her, an' we took 'em to a
tailor, an' she told him to make 'em
bigger, for a surprise for papa, 'cause
then they'll fit him again, Mr. Pareher.
"She said he must let 'em way, way
out! So I guess Willie would look too
funny In 'em after they're fixed. An",
anyway, Mr. Pareher, the secret won't
be home from the tailor's for two
weeks, an' maybe by that time Mlsa
Pratt'll be tone."
