and Jane. Everybody in the vii
- lage knew them: they had many
friends; yet all agreed with wonderful
unanlmity that they We're two of the
strangest individuals ever seen.
Jimmy-his full name was James
Bradford-was n bachelor of about 80
years. reputed to have stocking full
of gold and silver coins. which he kept
in his feather bed. He was a noted
hater of women and seldom spoke TO
one.
Jane-or more properly Miss Jane
Green-was called an old maid. lived In
n tiny house by herself, and had a holy
horror of the biped man. Her age was
uncertain" but her 4Oth birthday was
of the past.
Jimmy took life easily. but was op-
posed to ostentatlon and the modern
acceptance of the term ''luxrry."
He dressed without regard to fash
ion, but within the bounds of respect
ability. He even rode out in his own
carriage, but 1t was by no means a
modern vehicle; it had done service, he
would proudly tell you, since his grand
fathers days. quite a century ago.
He cared little for books: society he
abominated, because ii was spoiled by
admitting women. and of the few d.
versions that went to make up the sum
of his life's pleasures, fishing held the
place of prominence.
Even In the pursuit of this gratifica-
ton Jimmy was not free from harass-
ment, for he was obliged to pass by
the door of a cottage occupied by a
woman in order to reach the river. The
woman was no other than Jane.
One bright afternoon in September
Jimmy was lounging along the river
bank when the splash of oars in mid
stream fell upon his ears. He looked
in the direction of the sounds. and then
scowl wrinkled his forehead.
"Humph"' he muttered, that old
maid Jane Green is trying to row over
to Ned Browns. She'd better be home
drinking tea. Most likely she'll man
age to get drowned. What fuss she
makes, splashin' an fappin' about"
He pulled up his line with an angry
Jerk, put fresh worm on the hook
and then cast out the line again, with
an outlay of strength quite unneces-
sary, unless to give vent to his indig-
nation.
The "splashin' an fappn' about" in
stead of dying away in the distance as
the boat reached the other side of the
river, grew louder and more disturb
ing, and, half in wonder, half anger,
Jimmy looked around again.
"Drat the luck!" he cried. "If she
amt gone and rowed right smack inter
that eddy-the only one within two
miles at that. If that amt jest like a
fool woman I'd like to know what It's
like"
just then his attention was attracted
to his line. and James peril was for
moment forgotten.
A forcibe reminder came In the form
of loud, piercing scream, followed by
a frightened appeal for help.
There, jest as might ha' been eX-
pected. The first bite I've had for an
hour, and that miserable woman had

Jane agreed to 1t coyly, and Jimmy
turned away, with new and strange
feelings lingering in his breast.

He was informed that the painter wanted

to do but toishow him up.
"Well?" said the man of the house rather
shortly.
