NOW GO ON WITH,THE STORY
CHAPTER II
Jane had known the stranger

lance, and it gave her the feel
ing of long acquaintance with
him. She almost called him Mr.
Capes, though Miss Rosa had in
troduced him. as Howard Jackson
son of distant and practically
forgotten relative.
Hardly a relation, nothing
more than a connection" added
Miss Rosa, who liked exactness
Miss Rosa had been home from
the Marchs' tea for a quarter OF
an hour before Nh. Jackson ap,
peared.
"You. must stay and have din
ner with us this evening" Miss
Rosa said, cordially. you're not

Jane flew to obey, thinking as
she ran upstairs: "I'll put on my
new black and red. No, that
won't do for him. My white
swiss with the orange sash, my
white Coral beds" She dropped
her tennis things anywhere, left
the shower dripping, dressed in

lieved possible. But. she came
down lightly, leisurely, one hand
on the banister, made an effec-
tive entrance as the perfect in

thought Miss Rosa, watching
them walk off together. Their
her mind went back to the din
ner.
Meanwhile Jane was asking
Howard Jackson friendly, giriist
little questions. 1t was something
of a shock when she discovered
that he wasn't anything very
grand, mere instructor in geol
ogy in a western university, fol-
she didn't know that this univer'

Mines and that geology was dis

Presently, however, he said thai
he was going to study all sum

thesis he had to do.
Jane bounced on this: "That':

paused and laid an arresting fin

"Look at our elms-I always stoL
