London's Once Fashionable churcI

st. James, Piccadilly, once the most

gave his name to neighboring Jermyn

had started from higher plane than
Bob and with much greater opportuni.
ties. But he had made the most OF
these chances and she found herself
wondering now whether Bob had done
the same.
All women like the fineries and the
IuXuries of life, but some crave them
more than others. Jane was one of
these. She was essentially what Brand
read her to be. She had the fiinesse,
the culture of the so-called upper
classes and the inherent longing to be
"a living part of their order. Still she
had womans instinct for home and
for this reason she had not opposed
her husbands humble venture on
Staten island. She had wished it might
he more 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
her love the five years of their welded
life had brought few thrills to Bob.
Perhaps some of the glamor had be-
gun 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-
ment in the city. This idea of 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 husbands enthusiasm
over suburban 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 hens were useful for
laying eggs, they were not interesting
companions.
Bobs school, on the other hand, had
a poultry department that was noted
the world over and while he had not
specialized in that branch of education
his innate liking for all forms of ami
NAL life had attracted him to it. When
his young Plymouth Rocks had begun
to feather out he went into ecstasies

Jane had had a year at one Of the
leading colleges for girls and then a
turn in the tide Of her fathers bust
ness affairs had cut short this luxury.
But she knew her art and her music
and she had looked forward with a
thrill and with wholesome anticipation
to her advent in 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 profess
sion. Her fathers case convinced her
of this. She was sure that no man was
more capable, more suited to enjoy the
best things of life or more eager to
supply them for his family, but his
calling did not seem to provide the
means.
Jane had known Bob's history at
school. He was leader, as Brand had
said, and she was confident that he
would force his way to the front in
the business world. Not that she was
marrying him from any selfish view
point. She 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. She was still hopeful, or
had been until the coming of Brand.

lionaire, though it was true that he

Young Meade had gone to Totem
vile on reportorial duty. This he had
performed when he dropped into the
inn. Ordinarily he would have spent
his time on the long homeward trip in
writing or at least, constructing his
story. But when he tried to concen,
trate his mind, the scene he had just
witnessed intruded and absorbed his
thought. Again and again he reviewed
the facts and tried to Danish the blight.
But it would not down. His admira.

name popularity given to the free

Pounds, cobbler, at Portsmouth in
1889. Hundreds of these schools are
still in existence, although in London
they are being gradually superseded

Jane sat up in her bed tense and at
tentive. Her first thought was to light
the gas, but something deferred her.
There was note of shrill defiance in
the dogs bark that bespoke encounter.
1t was punctuated with sounds of scuf-
fle and attack Suddenly she heard a
rush, the fall of an overturned chair
and desperate half yelp and half
growl, smothered, but vicious; then
a thud, pause and quiet. She jumped
from the bed, threw open the window
and screamed. She cared for nothing
now, knew nothing but a woman's in
stinct for help. She screamed again
and her cry was echoed from the room
next hers. Presently she ceased. She
saw the figure of a man beneath her
window and heard the reassuring
voice Of Collins and then the voice Of
his wife, That restored her.
"Stay where you are" Collins called.
Don't unlock your door, I saw him
get away, but you can't tell. There
might be another. The windows open.
I'll come right up"
If Collins thought there was another
it did not retard his progress toward
his neighbor In a moment he was at
James door with reassuring word.
''It's all right" he said. 1--WE been

Jane opened the door. Convulsively
she seized her neighbours outstretched
hand. They hammered on the door Of
the historical Frieda, whose windows
opened on the rear of the house and
who, subsequently, had not been ap-
prised of the succor at hand Reas-
sured at last, she ceased her clamor-

face.
Downstairs was the tragedy. At the
sight of it Jane leaped forward and
clasped the lifeless form of her pet
terrier to her side. Dick was dead.
Dead, but the brute that crushed his
life and spirit had left token; a
