CHAPTER VIII


copyright, 1915, Star Company
The drive was not as bad as Jane
Hardy had feared II would be. The
day was perfect. and Augustus
Reeves drove q good horse, The ten
der yet vivid green of late June was
everywhere. The recent rains had
freshened the earth and all nature
seemed In gala array.
What is so rare as a day in June,
Jane quoted, with a deep breath OF
delight in the beauty of the world.
Her companion looked puzzled.
What did you say?" he queried
"Oh. nothing" the girl replied,
suppressing an inclination to laugh.
But you did say something" her
companion insisted something
about a day in June. What was it?'
IT was Just quoting Lowells lines
about a day that must have been
something like this"
Lowell? oh. yes, l guess I know
who you mean man who wrote
poems, wasn't he? 1t seems to me
that 1 remember having 10 learn
some piece OF his from the Fourth
Reader when 1 was a boy. 1 sup
pose It's all right to teach children
such things, but 1 don't see that
they do much good. because we're
sure to forget them as we get
older.
"Of course with you it's different,
for as you're going to be a teacher
you have to be up on poetry and
such studies. But it's not like that
with a man."
Again Jane suppressed a smile.
She recollected with a nappy thrill
that Ned Sanderson would have
fallen in with her mood and that
he would have continued the quota
tion that she had begun. For he
loved poetry and was up" in all
such things.
How he would laugh If she told
him how puzzled Mr.. Reeves had
been by her reference to Lowell's
June day! Yet this man sitting by
her was considered a success, while
Ned was only a poor chap" He
had spoken in that way of him
self.
He had a low estimate Of his own
worth. That he had not been able
10 go to college was one OF his
ished preparatory school his father
had died. Thus Ned had become
his mothers only support. A year
later his mother had died, too. So
Ned was very lonely Yet he never
talked of his loneliness - but just
made the best of his life and of all
connected with it.
Reeves Asks Her What
she Is Thinking About.
What are you thinking about? >"
Reeves asked suddenly. You look
as solemn as an owl"
DO II" she parried, smiling
brightly. ION such a day as this
one certainly need not feel solemn.
II is simply lovely. Just look at
those hills"
Yes, it is a nice day" Reeves
agreed. Not quite warm enough
10 ripen the berries very fast but
It's nice for driving. Don't you like
this horse? It's one I raised from
a. colt. This buggy I bought last
Fall"
Jane had wondered what she could
converse about with this man. but
now that he had touched upon the
subject of his own belongings he
talked long and volubly. When he
had reached the house of the per-
son who owed him money and had
collected the sum in question he
returned to his buggy, smilingly
contented.

Suggests Organization of
Commission From Neutral
Nations to Stop War

Washington, D. c., Nov. 1s.-"We
want the world to realize that war is
not only utterly ruinous to every in
terest and bound to dstroy a nation,
but that it is preposterous and ridicu-
lous instead of glorious" said DIR. Da-
vid Starr Jordan. while in this city
attending conference of officials of
the American Peace Society.
The society is fostering a plan to
bring peace in Europe through the
organization of a joint commission of
neutral nations to serve as a court of
mediation. and to the carrying out of
this project is making a campaign for
members and funds in charge of
George w. White, treasurer of the
society, in Washington.
The practical movement now is this
one to bring the war to an end. If
we shorten the war by one day il
would save the lives of $4,000 people
and save money enough to pay for sew
eral hundred such commissions. After
the war We should start plans for
making peace enduring"

He evidently expected her to look

membering that the other way

to remind herself that she could
keep her companions tongue going
Just by turning the conversation in
the direction of his own interests
and affairs, and then she could lean
back and enjoy the fresh air on her
face and feast her eyes on the beau
ties they were passing. So she
asked some idle question about his
farm. That was eonugh - and he
talked of his fields, the Yield of his
fruit trees, the number of his cattle.
So interested did she seem, that as
they neared Milton he made an
other unexpected proposition.
You haven't seen my house ex-
cept from the main road since you
was a child, have you?" he re-
marked. IT guess I'll drive you
round by that way now and see how
you like it."

objected family.
"Pshaw no. he returned ANY

He Drives Jane Up to
His Front Door.
Yet when he had driven her up 20
his front door, he insisted that she
alight and see how the inside OF the
house looked. Careful OF his own
reputation for propriety, he sum-
moned the middle-aged woman, who
was combination housekeeper and
houseworker, to show Miss Hardy
what a fine big sitting room and
dining room and kitchen there was
on this floor" He made no sugges-
tion that the girl view the upper re-
gions. His sense of decorum made
him stop short of that.
Jane, confused and uncomfortable,
tried to say what was expected of
her as she eyed the carpets with
huge garlands of roses and the
shiny black horsehair furniture.
she was glad to emerge into the
outer air. The sun was getting low
in the West and she commented on
this fact.
TITS late and I must hurry home, =
she said. Mother may worry"
"Oh, she knows you're safe with
me. I guess" Reeves assured her as
he helped her into the buggy and
seated himself beside her. It's a
nice house, isn't it?" he remarked.

it's lonely for me there by myself
I sometimes think it's a pity that

There was an awkward silence.
Jane, looking straight ahead of her.
felt that Reeves was regarding her
keenly from time to time. She was
veXed to feel the blood rising to her
cheeks and thankful that every
minute was bringing her nearer
home. If she had to drive much
longer with this man she felt that
she could not stand 1t.
