The end of the school tern was just three weeks ahead. Before he came to that parting of the ways he felt that he must know exactly where he stood. Janey had grown distinctly kinder, 8till, there wns something In her kindness that put him farther off. She would be an ideal wife for him. A bold stroke would do it mow. A year hence would be quite too late. While the laughter and chatter were at flood he drew her apart and poured out to Ber his hopes, aspirations, plans. Love he barely named. Might they not, Janey Gates was the beauty of Cane Creek neighborhood. Even Sister Meak- ins admitted as much in spite of robust prejudice. Janey would have been like- wise the belle if it had not been accept ed as a fact ever since she put up her hair and let down her frocks that she | was, in neighborhood phrase, | gaged property." Phil Mayben had | laid claim to her when she came hardly to his elbow.

Thus by fate and free will and the obligation of hospitality Janey wat in a manner forced to take Trabue't part. The result was a very pretty quarrel and the transfer of Phil's at | tentions to Miss Dora Meakins, There had been no set engungement te | break. That made Phil's attitude alt the more aggravating. Janey was fol months bitterly unhappy over the rup ture, although she let nobody see it, not even her mother. Outwardly she wat gayer than ever, and so charming Mr | Leonard Trabue quite lost He had meant at first only to punish that pestilent fellow, Mayben--Inciden tally, of course, to divert imself and pass time otherwise heavy on his hands Teaching was merely a stop gap. Lit erature was his chosen vocation. He meant to enter upon it through the gate of newspaper work as soon as be could scrape together a few bundred dollars, The Gateses were not rich folk, but still comfortably off, and Janey an only child. It is but just to say the fact had little to do with Trabue's falling im | love. That came upon him unawares. | But once he had realized his frame of affections he took full cognizance of it. Might it not ba easier to make him- self immortal even here in the deep country, with a charming wife and as- | sured comfort, | and hurly burly of a city?
