SYNOPSIS
They Lad reached Mr. Pa roller's Rate.
He halted and looked down fondly
upon this child who seemed to bare
read his souL "Do you honestly think
bo?" he asked.
"Well, anyway, Mr. Pareher," said
Jane, "mamma said—well, she said
she's sure Willie wouldn't come here
In the evening any more, when you're
at home, Mr. Pareher—'cause after he'd
been wearln' the secret every night
this way he wouldn't like to coma an'
not have the secret on. Mamma aald
the reason he would feel like that was
because he was seventeen years old.
An' she Isn't goln' to tell him anything
about It, Mr. Pareher. She said that's
the best way."
Mr. Pareher rested an elbow upon
the gatepost, gazing down with ever
Increasing esteem. "Of course I know
your last name," he said, "but I'm
afraid I've forgotten your other one."
"It's Jane."
"Jane," said Mr. Pareher, "I should
like to do something for you."
Jane looked down, and with eyes
modestly lowered she swallowed the
last fragment of the bread and butter
and apple auuee and sugar which had
been the constantly evanescent com
panion of their little walk together.
She was not mercenary; she had sought
no reward.
"Well. I guess I must run home," she
said. She scampered quickly away.
But, though she cared for no reward,
the extraordinary restlessness of Wil
liam that evening after dinner must at
least have been of great Interest to her.
lie ascended to his own room directly
from the table, but about twenty min
utes later came down to the library,
where Jane was sitting with her father
and mother.
William looked from one to the other
ot his parents and seemed about to
speak, but did not do so. Instead he
departed for the upper floor again and
presently collU1 be heard moving about
energetically lit various parts of the
house a remote thump Anally Indicat
ing that he was doing something with
a trunk In the attic.
After that he came down to the li
brary again and once more seemed
about to speak, but did not. Then he
went upstairs again and came down
again, and lie was still repeating this
process when Jane's time limit was
reached, and she repaired conscien
tiously to her little bed. Her mother
came to near ut-i (un.n-io auu w mm
out the light, uud when Mrs. Baxter
Lad passed out into tlie ball after that
Jane heard her speaking to William,
wliu was now conducting what seemed
to be excavations on a serious scaie
In his own room.
"Oh, Willie, perhaps I didn't tell you,
but you remember I'd been missing
papa's evening clothes and looking ev
erywhere for days and days?"
"Ye-es," huskily from William.
"Well, I found them. And where do
you suppose I'd put them? I found
them under yonr window seat. Can
you think of anything more absurd
than putting them there and then for
getting it? I took them to the tailor's
to have them Jet out. They were get
ting too tight for papa, but they'll be
all right for him when the tailor sends
them back."
What the stricken William gathered
from this it is impossible to state with
accuracy. Probably he mixed some
perplexity with his emotions. Certain
ly he was perplexed the following
evening at dinner.
Jane did not appear at the table.
"Poor child! She's sick In bed," Mrs.
Baxter explained to her husband. "I
was out this afternoon, an« she ate
nearly all of a five pound box of
candy."
Both the sad eyed William and his
father were dumfounded. "Where on
earth did she get a live pound box of
candy?" Mr. Baxter demanded.
"I'm afraid Jane has begun her first
affair," said Mrs. Baxter. "A gentle
man sent it to her."
What gentleman?" gasped William.
And in his mother's eyes as they
slowly came to rest on his In reply he
was aware of an inscrutability strong
ly remindful of that inscrutable' look
of Jane's.
"Mr. Farther," she said gently.
Evening after evening passed whll«
William sat dreaming painfully of Mr.
Parcher*s porch, but lu the daytime,
though he did not literally make hay
while the eun shone, he at least gath
ered a harvest somewhat resembling
bay tn general character.
Thus: One afternoon, having locked
his door to secure himself against In
trusion, William seated himself at his
writing table and from a drawer there- <
in took a small cardboard box, which
he uncovered, placing the contents be
fore him upon the table. In the box
were:
A faded rose; several other faded
roses, disintegrated Into leaves; three
withered "four leaf clovers;" a white
ribbon still faintly smelling of violets;
a small silver shoe buckle; a large
pearl button; a small pearl button; a
tortoise shell hairpin; a cross section
from the heel pf a small slipper; a
stringy remnant, probably once an Im
provised wreath of daisies; four or
five withered dandelions; other dried
vegetation of a nature now Indistin
guishable.
HU gentle eyes showed his emotion.
CHAPTER VII.
Progrvas of th« Symptom*.
WILLIAM'S writing table was
beside an open window,
through which came an in
sistent whirring, unagree
able to his mood, and, looking down
upon the sunny lawn, he beheld three
lowly creatures. One wsb Genesis,
cutting the grass; another was Clema
tis—he had assumed a transient atti
tude, curiously triangular, In order to
scratch his enw-tbe third was Jane.
In one hand she held a little stack of
sugar sprinkled wafers, which she
slowly but steadily depleted. Wearing
unaccustomed garments of fashion and
festivity, Jane stood, in speckless,
starchy white and a blue sash, watch
ing the lawn mower spout showers of
grass as the powerful Genesis easily
propelled it across the grass.
Clematis round nis ear too puuuje
for any great solace from his foot.
Rising, lie permitted big nose to lead
him, with the result that It touched
the rlm of the lust wafer In Jane's ex
ternal possession.
This incident annoyed William. "Look
there"' ho called from the window.
"You mean to eat that cake after the
dog's had his face on it?"
"It wasn't his face," Jane observed.
"Well, if it wasn't bis face, I'd lik«
to know what"—
"It wasn't his face," Jane repeated,
j "It was his nose. It wasn't all of his
nose touched It either. It was only a
little outside piece of his nose."
"Well, are you going to eat that cake,
I ask you?"
Jane broke off a small bit of the wa
fer. She gave the bit to Clematis and
slowly ate what remained, continuing
to watch Genesis and apparently un
conscious of the scorching gaze from
the window.
"I never saw anything as disgusting
j as . long as I've lived!" William an
nounced. "I wouldn't V believed it
if anybody'd told me a sister of mine
would eat after"—
"I didn't," said Jane. "I like Clema
tis, anyway."
"Ye gods!" her brother cried. "Do
you think that makes it any better?
And, by the way," he continued in a
tone of even greater severity, "I'd like
to know where you got those cakes.
Where'd you get 'em, I'd Just like to
inquire?"
"In the pantry." Jane turned and
moved toward the house. "I'm goln'
in for some more now."
William uttered a cry. These little
cakes were sacred. His mother, grow
ing curious to meet a visiting lady of
whom, so to speak, she bad heard
much and thought more, had asked
May I'archer to bring her guest for
iced tea that afternoon. A few others
of 'congenial age had been invited.
There was to be a small matinee, in
fact, for the houor and pleasure of
the son of the bouse, and the cakes of
Jane's onslaught were part of Mrs.
Baxter's preparations.
William hied himself to' the pantry
with such advantage of longer legs
that within the minute he and the wa
fers appeared In conjunction before
his mother, who was arranging fruit
and flowers upon a table In the living
room.
\\ imam entered m iue sioinea gmsa
attitude of one bearing gifts, Ovejv
head both hands supported a tin pan
well laden with small cakes and wa
fers, fur which Jane was silently but
repeatedly and systematically Jumping.
Even uuder the stress of these efforts
her expression was cool and collected.
She maintained the self possession that
was characteristic of her.
Not so with William. His cheeks
were flushed, his eyes Indignant. "You
see what this child Is doing?" be de
manded. "Are you going to let her
ruin everything?"
"Ifuin?" Mrs. Baxter repeated ab
sently, refreshing with fair water a
bowl of flowers upon the table.
"Ruin T"
"Yes, ruin!" William was hotly em
phatic. "If you don't do something
with her it'll all be ruined before Miss
Pr—before they even get here!"
Mrs. Baxter laughed. "Set the pan
down, Willie."
"Set it down?" he echoed Incredu
lously. "With that child In the room
and grabbing like"—
"There!" Mrs. Baxter took the pan
from him, placed It upon a chair and
with the utmost coolness selected five
wafers and gave them to Jane. "I'd
already promised she could have Ave
more. You know the doctor said Jane's
digestion was the finest he'd ever mis
understood. They won't hurt her at
all, Willie."
This deliberate misinterpretation of
his motives made it difficult for Wil
liam to speak. "Do you tklnk," he be
gan hoarsely, "do you think"—
'They're so small too," Mrs. Baxter
A
went on. "She probably wouldn't be
sick if (the ate tbem all."
"My heavens!" he burst forth. "Do
ycu think I was worrying about"— He
broke off, unable to express himself
save by n few gestures of despair.
Again finding his voice, and a great
deal of it, he demanded: "Do you real
ize that Miss Pratt will be here within
less than half an hour? What do you
suppose she'd think of ths people of
this town if she was invited out ex
pecting decent treatment and found
two-thirds of the cakes eaten up be
fore she got there and what was left
of 'em all pawed over and chewed up
lookin' from some wretched child?"
"Now, Willie," said Mrs. Baxter gen
tly, "you'd better go up and brush
your hair again before your friends
come. You mustn't let yourself get so
excited."
" 'Excited!' "he cried incredulously.
"Do you think I'm excited? Ye gods!''
lie smote his hands together and In
his despair of her Intelligence would
have flung himself down upon a chair,
but was arrested halfway by simul
taneous loud outcries from his mother
and Jane.
"Don't sit on the CAKES!" they both
screamed.
Saving himself and the pan of wa
fers by a supreme contortion at the
last Instant, William decided to remain
upon his feet "What do I care for
the cakes?" he demanded contemptu
"Di
ously, beginning to pace the floor.
"It'a the question of principle I'm talk
ing about! Do you think it's right to
give the people of this town a poor
name when strangers like Miss Pratt
come to vis"—
"Willie!" His mother looked at him
hopelessly. "Do go and brush your
hair. If you could see how you've
tousled it you would."
He strode from the room.
Jane looked after him placidly.
"Didn't he talk funny?" she murmured.
"Yes, dear," said Mrs. Baxter. She
shook her head and uttered the enig
matic words, "They do."
"I mean Willie, mamma," said Jane.
"If It's anything about Miss Pratt he
always talks awful funny. Don't you
think Willie talks awful funny If It's
anything about Miss Pratt, mamma?"
"1'es, but"—
"What, mamma?" Jane asked aa her
mother paused.
"Well, It happens. People do get like
that at his age, Jane."
"Does everybody?"
"No, I suppose not everybody; Juat
some."
William returned violently to the
doorway, his hair still tousled, and,
standing upon the threshold, said
sternly:
"What is that child weariug her best
dress for?"
"To please you. Don't you want her
to look her best at your tea':"
"I thought that was it!" he cried,
and upon thin continuation of his worst
fears he did increased violence to his
rumpled hair. "I suspe.-ted it, but I
wouldn't 'a' believed it! You mean to
let this child—you mean to let"— Here
his agitation affected his throat and
his utterance became clouded. A few
detached phrases fell from him: "In
vite my friends—tlUldrf-n's party—ye
gods!—think Mtsa Pratt plays dolls"—
"Jatie will be very good," his mother
said. "I shouldn't think of not having
her, Willie, and you needu't bother
about your friends. They'll be very
glad to see her. They all know her
except Miss I'ratt, perhaps, and"—
Mrs. Baxter paused; theu she asked
absently, "By the way, haven't I heard
somewhere that she Ukes pretending
to be a little girl herself?'
"What!"'
''Yea," said Mrs. Baxter, remaining
calm, "I'm sure I've heard somewhere
that she likes to talk baby talk."
Upon this a tremor passed over Wil
liam, after which he became rigid.
"You nek a lady to your house," he
began, "and even before she gets here,
before you've even seen her, you pass
judgment upon one of the—one of the
noblest"—
Mrs. Baxter laughed, and then, prob
ably a little out of patience with him,
she gave way to that Innate mlschlev
OUSiiesa In such affairs which Is not
unknown to her sex. "You see, Willie,
if Miss Pratt pretends to be a cunning
little girl it will be helpful tD Jane to
listen and learu .ho.w."
