CHAPTER VIII—Continued.
Rhe thought of Hob, too. It seemed
to Jnne that ho had worn that faded
tan suit ever since she could remem-
ber. Poor Bob! She wished she
could hurry over to New York, tell
him about their good fortune and di-
vide the hundred with him. Of course,
that was out of the question, but lie
would come Into Ilia own in the end
and, in the meantime, ho should share
her new found wealth to some extent.
She would buy him something; hand-
kerchiefs, hose and some neckwear.V
Christmas and birthdays were the
only time ho boasted such luxuries
for ho never bought them for himself.
Before she had finished with her
list Jane found she had far exceeded
the equivalent of her yellowback. She
had thought It would be hard to plan
the expenditure of so much money at
one time but now, without even step-
ping inside of a store, she had thought
;of a score of purchases and she found
lit necessary to prune and strike off
.half the articles she wanted.
She longed to go over and break
the news of her good fortune to Mrs.
Collins, but then she thought that
■would be unwise, Mrs. Collins was
rio plebeian ahd narrow-minded that
,she misconstrued everything, Includ-
ing Brand’s attentions and intentions.
'“‘I guess you won't be needing me as
1* chaperon much longer," she had
isald a few days ago and Jane was so
enraged at the remark that she felt
ab if she could chastise her Hilt Mrs.
Collins would have been fully able to
avert such a catastrophe. No one had
ever found such a thought father to the
deed with her; not even dear James.
No, Jane was powerless She had
'to have a chaperon and her neighbor
was the only one she could trust. De-
spite Mrs. Collins' proclivities for gos-
sip, she felt that she could trust her.
Tor in such little Intrigues as this the
feood woman was exactly In her own
element. So Jane's expression of re-
sentment had been confined to harsh
words that brought tears and apolo-
gies and a reconciliation.
She dressed hurriedly now In the ir-
repressible blue serge and started for
!New York alone. On her way to the
<ar she stopped suddenly In front of
'her grocer's. The monthly account
there remained unsettled. An idea oc-
curred to her. Perhaps her plan for
revenging herself on the butcher
hadn't been so visionary after all. Why
not awe the grocer by revealing the
prosperous state of her finance® and
forestall another sceue with Bob. She
was sure the man could find no wav
of telling her husband that she bad
presented a hundred dollar bill. Be-
sides. Bob seldom went Into the place.
She entered with a cheerful "Good
■morning." to which the merchant
responded with a salutation not quite
ao cordial. He was thtnklng of $17.43
and of the fact that it was seven days
past the first of the month. Hut her
next words brought such a metamor-
phosis of manner that Jane smiled in
spite of herself.
"I want to pay the bill. Mr. Noite.”
she informed htin "I neglected to
bring it with me Would you mind
looking it up?”
He wouldn't mind at all and al- |
though the figures were quite vividly |
Impressed on his mind he went j
through the pretense of examining his |
books and presently told her the j
amount. She held out the yellowback, j
at which Mr. Nolte'a best store smile j
broadened, then waned and finally van i
Ished into a blank stare of hopeless
Ibis littlo strip of crisp paper was the
key to life's real Joys; it pointed the
route and paved the way to escape
from the hitter confines of her Impe-
cunious |Mist, She had never a thought
that It was not rightfully hers; that
she had not earned it. She knew only
that sho had tt. Ho the gambler, when

CHAPTER IX.
Jane In Her Own Element.
When she reached New York Jane
did not head for the bargain counters
of the big Sixth avenue stores. These
were her rightful domain, or had been
when rhe had gone to spend the few
dollars that her own limited resources
allowed. Hite rode now to one of the
more exclusive Fifth avenue shops and
proceeded to make such purchases as
she wanted without regard to cost. The
more she paid the better, for her plan
of concealment would not permit of
her buying too much, and, besides, ehe
was through with the cheap and
shoddy.
Everything in this store catered to
tlie better tastes of the better class of
people. Even the girls behind the
counters were different. They were
polite and suave, softer voiced and
gentler mannered. None of them
chewed gum und none of them called
"cash" in shrill, repellent tones. Nor
did any of them carry on a conversa-
tion with a companion 50 feet away to
Inform her friend that she had had a
"perfectly swell time last night" and
marrying him from any selfish view-
polut. Him loved him, but she was
also proud of him, and the last year
or two of their married life had seen a
tinge of disappointment mingled with
his pride. Shu was still hopeful, or
had been until the coming of Brand
In five years Brand had become a mil-
lionaire, though It was true that he
had started from a higher plane than
Hob and with much greater opportuni-
ties Hut he had made the most of
these chances and sho found herself
wondering now whether Hob hud done
the same.
All women like the fineries and the
luxuries of life, but some crave them
more than others. Jane wan one of
these. She was essentially what Brand
read her to be. She had the filuesse,
the culture of the so-called upper
classes und the Inherent longing to be
u living part of their order. Still she
hud a woman's hiHtinet for a home and
for this reason she had not opposed
her husband's humble venture on
Staten island. She had wished ll might
he niore elaborate, but since it was all
they could afford, it was better than
none.
And Jane was not selfish. She knew
that besides the Joy of having her and
plaint over their III luck had been
broken. Whatever it was, good for
tune of some sort hud coins Into ths
younger woman's life and the future
seemed to hold promise of more. For
Mrs. Collins this" meant only more
poignant realization of power gone for
her and gone never more to return.
0n% afternoon some three weeks
uftcr her first excursion Into Fifth ave-
nue June was sitting with an open hand
hag In her lap counting over some
money und comparing It with figures
In a little notebook. There was a ring
at the doorbell, hut no response from
(lie maid In the kitchen.
"Frieda," Jane called.
Still there was no reply and Mrs.
Collins, a silent spectator of the scene,
sin I led In scorn.
“Friedu!” Jnne repeated, "are you
deaf?"
"No'rn" came the laconic answer,
but there came no Frieda.
Jane's voice rose to the sharp com-
mand: "Then answer the bell.”

J ing divested herself of these two

life had brought few thrills to Hob
Perhaps some of the glamor hud be-
•gnu to fade for him, too; the long
grind at his work and then the long
idle evenings in the fiat or the fruit-
less pleasures of some cheap amuse
meat in the city. 'I his idea of a home
had been something new. He had
talked about it and planned for It and
become so enthusiastic over it that she
had entered into the spirit of it and
rejoiced with him. And now the spell
of this Utopia was gone, at least for
her.
Much of her husband's enthusiasm
over eiiburban life was not shared by
Jane. When they had moved into the
place In the spring her natural love
of the artistic had given her a happy
interest In her flowers, but there her
concern in the rustic pursuits ceased.
For his sake she assumed a sympathy
that she did not feel. Truck gardens,
Jane thought, were for truck garden
ers and while hone were useful for
laying eggs, they were not interesting
companions.
Hob's school, on the other hand, had
a poultry department that was noted
from Jane and more "yessuins" from
j Frieda, the girl signed the book and
came forward with the message. June
j tore it open.
"it’s a lovely afternoon for an auto

cently.
"No, It Isn't that at all,” Jane an-
I swered. "I, mean the message isn't
what you think. It’s from Hob. He's
been sent out of town and can't get
home tonight. It’s the first time since
we've been married. Oh, 1 know i

place.”
"Come over and stay with us,” her
neighbor Invited promptly.
"I’d like to, but—" Jane looked to-
ward tlie kitchen—"you’d be crowded
to make room for me and I couldn’t
leave Frieda here alone."
Mrs.. Collins revealed just a sem-
blance of a sneer.
"I don’t think she’d be in any great
danger," she said tartly, "but if you do,
Mrs. Reynolds, we could make room
for her on the sofa."
"No, it’s kind of you," Jane decided,

contemplated spending the ensuing
evening with "Jimmie" tasting joys
unconflned at the skating rink.
Most of the floorwalkers were in
keeping with the clerks. They were
uot dressed in long Prince Alberts as
for an afternoon tea, nor did they twirl
huge black mustachios. They were
dean shaveu and neat, and stood or
walked about with some display of
modeety as if they thought it possible
that some of their millionaire custom-
ers were almost as elevated In life's
station as themselves.
Here was a house in order and Jane
reveled in it. No more Sixth avenue
for her; she would leave that to Mrs.
Collins. For herself she was through
with the hot pollot. She was not one
of them and never had been except
from necessity. She thought of her
home in one of the larger cities up-
state and of her life there when Hob
had courted her five years ago. Her
father was not rich, as;wealth is re-
garded today, but he was a well-to-do
and much respected attorney and an
intellectual one. If the occasion had
required tt he would have taken lodg-
ing at a first class hotel and done
without a meal rather than stay at an
Inferior one.
Jane had had a year at one of the
lending colleges for girls and then a
turn lu the tide of her father's busi-
ness affairs had cut short this luxury.
But she knew her art and her music
aud she had looked forward with a
thrill and with wholesome anticipation
to her advent tn the great metropolis
She had an inkling of Bob's business
then and business of any kind seemed
better for a man to her than a profes-
sion tier father a case convinced her
of this She was sure that no man was
more capable, more suited to enjoy the
beet things of Itfe or more eager to
supply them for bis family but his
calling did not seem to provide the
means.
Jane bad known Bob s history at
school Ha was a laader. as Brand had
said, and she was confident that ha
would force his way to the front tn
the business world. Not that ehe was
his young Plymouth Hocks had begun
to feather out lie went into ecstasies
if a rooster showed the proper bar-
rings on wing and tail, while with Jane
the bird's superiority was gauged only
from the standpoint of a frying pan.
Such tendencies did not make Jane
one bit less a woman. We cannot all
idea."
So Mrs. C'olltns desisted and Jane
looked forward to the first night she
had ever spent alone* or practically
alone, and that, in the lonely bungalow.
8he at9 her supper in silence and with
the fox terrier lying on the rug at her
feet settled herself at the table and
tried to banish thoughts of herself by
reading.

Jane was really a beautiful woman.
But she was the type that needs the
full blend of all attractions to complete
the picture of the subtle whole. She
of his mistress, that usually demanded
instaut attention, failed to arreet his
flight.

ern civilization there is no place for

so, no wonder we see a menace in

prosaic life and tired, dulled senses
had caused the bird to droop, keeping
pace with frayed and worn plumage,
now new prospects and new feathers
caused it to thrill and flutter.
Mrs. Collins, keen observer of all
these changes, literally' winked the
other eye. She was not the kind who
scorns gossip but having once met suf-
ficient rebuke from Jane and beiug
more or less a beneficiary of this pros-
perity she held her peace. If her
nerves required material relief now
she had but to make the want known.
The means was always at hand
There came presently Into the Rey-
nolds household, however, something
that disturbed even the equanimity of
Mrs Collins. This was a servant girt.
She was inefficient and untrained, but
she kept Jane's hands out of the dish
water.
"The extra expense la so little." Jane
had told her neighbor "Why, 1 pay
Frieda only two dollars and a half a
