Before Jane could realize 1t she
was seated in the express train on
her way to her cousins suburban
home.
The car was filled with the Christ
mas shoppers. Dignifed men, who,
as rule, refused to carry even a
2x4 package, were loaded down
with mysterious-looking bundles OF
all sizes and descriptions. Holly and
mistletoe were in evidence every
where.
$50 you are not happy, Jane. "
said Kirt, as he looked down at
the pathetic little person beside him,
II feared you would regret separat-
ing from Stanton"
"Oh, do, Kurt-if you only
knew how much! It is four months
since we agreed to part and since
that time l see things in a clearer
and truer light. l was just foolish
jealous little scatterbrain then, and
now I am woman. l realize, when
it Is too late, that l love him more
than 1 ever did"
why don't you tell him so
then" asked Kurt.
He no longer cares for me. MOI
once has he made an attempt to
communicate with me since we part
ed. I don't even know where he
lives"
But Stanton was always of 6
proud nature, and when you abso
lutely refused after your separation
to accept even a small allowance
from him, and insisted upon resum
} ing your library position, I judge
he was deeply hurt. But cheer up

with knowing emphasis.

He has that" went on the To-
quacious Nora. ST guess I ought
TO know, because 1 busted 1t every
morning. But it didn't need much
busting, you would be thinking, II
you saw how much he handled it."
"Oh, Nora, does he really-really

her hands. her heart beating fast.

thing 1 own in this world if I
thought my wife loved me-

she just loves him to DEATH" ex-
claimed Jane, almost shaking the
Girl in her delight. Tell me his ad-

Jane rushed to the telephone, and
in a few minutes was talking to
Stanton over the long distance
phone.

SO much" she said.

Just as soon as the fast express can

she hung up the receiver, land l

going to be the happiest one in all

"It's a nat; it isn't a bonnet. "
laughed Jane. But I'm SO glad to
see you that if we weren't on the
public street, and if l hadn't been
bridesmaid for your wife, and If my
arms weren't otherwise occupied, l
would hug you this minute
''It is ages since we've heard of
or seen you. Where have you been
hiding, little cousin, and how are
you?" enquired Kurt.
"Oh, I'm-I'm-just splendid"
answered Jane brightly, though her
eyes filled with sudden tears at
sight of the familiar face.
well, you don't look it, that's
sure" said Kurt in his brusque way.
Then, taking out his watch, he went
on: "Now look here, 1 have a lit
tie Christmas shopping to finish up
for the youngsters tree. My train
leaves in just one hour and twenty
five minutes. You run on to your
boarding house, dump a few things
in suit case and meet me at the
station. My wife and the Riddles
will never forgive me if l don't
bring you home with me-
you're DEAR" replied Jane
but 1 could never, never come. You
see, since my husband and I have
separated I'm in no spirits to lend
happiness to any family celebration
and I would only cast a damper or
you ALL"
| Perfect nonsense" exclaimed
Kurt. IT won't listen to any butts.
1t is plainly evident that you are
needing a good dose of cheering up
and it is just fate or good fortune
or something that I happened to BIZ
the one to pick up your wind-tosset
bonnet, or hat, or whatever it ma.
be. Don't talk any more about 1t

will be reunited and happier than
before this unfortunate affair.""
You are such a comfortable
COUSIN" sighed Jane. whenever
1 see you feel like dumping all my
troubles right of on your broad
shoulders. You have a regular big
brother air about you"
On their arrival, Sue and the chill
dren devoured Jane with kisses and
Sue laughingly remarked: Bring
ing Jane home with you tonight,
Kurt, is the first sensible thing
you've done in long while"
The happy home circle. the con-
genial parents, the joyous children
frolicking around the respondent
Christmas tree. brought wildly to
James mind the contrast between
her friends life and her own lot.
Unable to hide the tears that would
come, on pretext of seeking a
book, she fastened to her room to
gain her composure.
Entering her room, she found the
maid uncovering her bed and she
noticed through the mirror of her
dressing table how keenly she eyed
her. Presently she was surprised to
hear the girl burst out with:
And you are Mr.. Davenport's
wife, aren't your"
"Why, yes," answered Jane, turn

Evidently you are acquainted with

the last popular fiction
books that had accumulated on the
librarians desk, had put away the
stray magazines that had been left
ON the tables, adjusted her date
stamp and stood looking out of the
window before venturing out into
the steady pour Of drizzling rain.
Finally hurrying into the busy
street she unused: cit certainly Is

AS Jane trudged along in the rain
a great gust of wind blew off her
hat. She ran, but before she was
able to reach it a man caught it

surprise:

Judging by mainland newspaper utteranees
that it is entirely unnecessary TO wait mill next
December before undertaking tariff revision.
Several prominent House and senate members
are quoted as SAYING that the Democrats know
nearly enough what legislation they want to
eonclude an extra session in three months with
most Of the .sindefensible- schedules well re-
visesl
OF course there will be some opposition to an
extra session. The Democratic Congressman
from tariffprofiting states will undoubtedly
play "a the interests of their constituents and
demand further time for consideration. How
ever, the demand just now for the special sit
ting seems TO outweigh the opposition, and it
cannot be doubted that party politics calls for
IA strategic move OF this kind.
Should an extra session be called, the wool
and steel schedules are almost certain to be first
taken up, followed by the sugar and chemical
tariffs and several Others which are regarded as
needing revision the most
ultimately, it will make little difference to
Hawaii whether the sugar schedule is revised in
April or December In case Of early revision:
the loss due to selling the 1913 crop without tar

pletely offset By the definite settlement Of what
