"Tell 'oor tickle sissa mus doe home det soap-water wash" .,-
 Jane stared at Miss Pratt with fixed solemnity during the delivery of these admonitlons, and 1t was to be- seen that they made an impression upon her. Her mouth slowly opened, but she spake not. An extraordinary idea had just begun to make Itself at home in her mind. It was an idea which had been lowering In the neighborhood of that domain ever since Williams comments upon the conversation of

Mir. Genesis in the morning. Mean while William and Miss Pratt went on, leaving Jane to her own diversion.
 The pale end of sunset was framed in the dining room windows. and MT. and Mrs. Baxter and the rehabilitated Jane were al the table when William made his belated return from the aft ernOOn's excursion. Seating himself, he waived his mothers references to the rain, his clothes and probable colds, and after one laden glance at Jane he fell into state of trance.
 "Everybody in town seemed to be on the streets thiS evening as l walked home," MT. Baxter remarked, address ing his wife. "I suppose there's some thing in the clean air after rain that brings 'em out. l noticed one thing, though Maybe it's the way they dress nowadays, but you certainly don't see as many pretty girls on the streets as there used to be-"
 William locked up absently. "I used to think that too" be said, with dreamy condeScension. when 1 was younger"
 Mir. Baxter stared.
 "Well, I'll be darned!" he said.

 "I'm going on eighteen" said Will liam firmly. "l know plenty of cases cases where'- He paused, relaps- ing into lethargy.
 "What's the matter with him" MT. Baxter inquired hcatedly of his wife.
 William again came to life. "l was saying that u persons age Is different according to circumstances" he eX- plained You take Genesis father. We'll he was married when he was sixteen Then there was case over in Iowa that lots of people know about and nobody thinks anything of.

 William shuddered
 Was she calling you?" Miss Pratt asked tncredulously.
 Willie, I told you you better take an umbereller," said Jane, instead Of papa's cane" And she added triumph antly, "Now you see" .-,. '...'
 You go homeT he commanded hoarsely.
 Miss Pratt uttered little scream Of surprise and recognition. Its your little sister," she exclaimed, and then, reverting to her fayorite playfulness of enunciation, "'Oor ickle sissa" she added gayly, as a translation. Jane misunderstood it. She thought Miss Pratt meant tour little sister"
 "Go homer' said William.

 Ut seems to lie heavily on your mind" Mir. Baxter said to William. T suppose you feel that in the face of such an example your life between the ages of thirteen and seventeen has been virtually thrown away"
 William had again relapsed, but he reused himself feebly. "Sir?" he said. What Is the matter with him?" MT. Baxter demanded. Half the time lately he seems to be h:bernating and only responds by a slight twitching when poked with a stick. The other half of the time he either behaves like don't know what or talks about children growing whiskers in Iowa. Hasn't that girl left town yetf"
 William left the table. Mrs. Baxter looked distressed. As for MT. Baxter, he felt little remorse undoubtedly, but he was also puzzled. He referred to his mystlfcation a little later as he sat with his evening paper in the library. .
