NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER III
It was only matter of three
weeks, as the calendar marked it..
but Jane knew that it might as
well have been centuries. She
loved Howard Jackson. She would
never love anyone else. From the
moment she had first seen How
ard coming out Of the Museum,
had watched him going into her
house and had kept Amy from
knowing it she had cCntcrcd her
feelings on him with her entire
strength.
But it was awkward for Howard
Jackson to have her so fOrthcom-
ing. He couldn't step back and
he wasn't at all sure that he
wanted to step too far forward.
Miss Rosa was very kind. Jane
was extraordinarily lovely and
unusual. They had both made
him so welcome and done so
much for him but-hc didn't en-
ioy the way they both claimed
him and he couldn't know that
Miss Rosa's attention was OF
fcrcd to make James less notice
able. The town was too small to
escape from them without APP
pearing rude or ungratcful.
He wanted very much to know
Amy Lowe. to hear her music
but Jane managed to block it ano
Amy didn't help him. Amy played

to Jane without any sign of

morning as he went from the Ii,
brarv to the museum he heard
the organ as he passed by the
college chapel and found the side
door open. Amy was there, play
ing the Franck "Panis Angelicus.
and he sat down where she would
not see him and let the music
flow over HIM in a tide of noble
glory. When she had finished he
called up to her, "That was
beautiful. Thank YOU" She
came to the rail Of the loft tc
sec who it was.
81 hope you don't mind my be
inc here" he said. 81 couldn't
resist the chance"
She looked at him doubtfully

"You don't want me to stay?'

He looked for the stairway and
saying, Pm coming up there,
reached her side.

Aloud she said, "But ] don't

finished Howard.
They had moment of agree

again." said Amy, I'll play some
more. I'm usually here for an
hour. There are things | know
you'd like"
Couldn't l sit up hcrc?"
But she said no. The effect
was better below. Reluctantly he
went down but took place
where he could see her, intent,
serious, forgetting him, forget
ting everything but the sweep
and power Of her music.
When she came down at last
he went to meet her. "Do you
