► What Happened to Jane < i
► By Virginia Terhune Van de Water < !
CHAPTER XXII
Copyright, 1915, Star Company.
Jane Hardy felt as if she were in a
dream. The intellectual numbness that
prevents one's appreciation of the
crisis through which she is passing had
mercifully come to her. She accepted
It without allowing herself to go be
low the surface for explanation of
those things which might have puzzled
her.
Therefore, when she heard nothing
from Edward Sanderson, she took his
silence unquestioningly, Just as she
took the fact that on the day of her
decision not to marry the man she
loved Augustus Reeves had come to
call on her.
It was late afternoon and she was
in the sitting room as she saw him and
her father enter the front gate. She
was so dully miserable that she did
not rouse herself to speculate as to
wether Ezra had asked Augustus to
come to his house with him. If she
had known the facts, perhaps even
then she would not have roused her
self to express any indignation.
Ezra Hardy had gone this afternoon
1o Augustus Reeves's home to tell him
that Jane had "come to her senses"
and was ready to listen to reason. Had
Mrs. Mary Baird. his housekeeper,
listened at the door behind whiqh her
employer and his guest were in con
ference she might have heard that
which would have surprised her.
Jane Hardy did not try to escape
her visitor by flight. Instead, she sat
still until he entered the sitting room
alone, then she greeted him politely.
"Your father told me you were in
here," Reeves remarked affably.
"lie saw you at the window when
we came up the walk.'
"Yes. I saw you coming," Jane
said. "Shall I call mother in to see
you. or has father gone to tell her you
are here?"
"Your father knows that I came to
see you, Jane, so he will not call your
mo-'ier," her caller informed her.
He noticed that the girl was very
pale. Perhaps she had lain awake all
night worrying over her foolish de
cision of last evening. Well, young
people were often silly. He would ex
cuse her folly, since she was evidently
willing to listen to reason now.
•Tanc Takes the Irrevocable Step
"Jane," he said, seating himself by
her, "now that you've had time to
think about what I said to you last
night, don't you think you'd b< '
change your mind?"
She dropped her eyes. There was
no flushing of the face, no Indication
of any love tremors. But that was all
right, the man told himself.
She replied in a low voice: "What I
said last night, Mr. Reeves, was true.
That is—l will not pretend to any man
that I love him when Ido not. I had
never supposed that you really cared
for me except as the daughter of my
parents—your old friends. You have
been kind to me—but I never imagined
that you had more than a friendly
feeling for me."
Augustus smiled with gratification.
"That is the way you should have
thought about the matter," he ap-

"My eozrma broke out in spots all over

proved. "I am not pleased with ways
of girls nowadays—all the time look
ing out for a husband. I like you bet
ter because you waited to think about
this kind of thing until I spoke of it
myself. But now you've had nearly
twenty-four hours to think of it, I am
willing to repeat my question. I want
to marry. Will you be my wife, Jane?"
"You are sure you understand that I
do not love you?" she tnsisted.
Again he smiled. "You think that
you do not," he amended. "As I told
you last night, it is more proper for a
young woman to avoid thought of such
affairs until she is asked. I know you
like me, and I know you will care
more for me when you know me bet
ter."
He paused expectantly, but she did
not look up.
"I am waiting for my answer, Jane,"
he suggested.
"I will marry you," she said.
He leaned over her and put his arm
about her. She suppressed the violent
shudder that ran through her frame.
"Kiss me, my girl," he '•ommanded.
She closed her hands tightly to
gether as she raised her face. She
closed her eyes that she might not see
his expression. As,he pressed his Hps
to hers and drew her to him in close
embrace his hot breath made her
slightly sick. Then he released her.
"I will call your parents," he said,
with a return to his customary tone.
Augustus Makes the Big Announce
ment
Jane stood up as she heard her
mother and father coming in response
to his summons.
"I want to tell you good people,"
Augustus announced with his bom
bastic manner, "that Jane has decided
as I was sure she would when she had
taken time to think the matter over.
She is going to marry me, my friends."
Still no color came to the pale face.
Jane returned her mother's tremulous
caress. She also said "Thank you"
when her father put his arm around
her and kissed her. He had not kissed
her in a long time, she reflected. She
had once thought of kisses as meaning
love. Now they seemed to mean that
the person bestowing them approved
of the conduct of the person receiving
them. Had they ever really meant
anything else to her?
She pulled herself up sharply. This
kind of thinking would do no good.
She wondered just what was expected
of her now, and turned to her mother.
"It must be getting late," she said.
"You sit here and talk—you and
father —and let me get the supper—•
please, mother."
She longed to attack some work that
would keep her t'rom realizing what
had happened.
"Yes," Reeves said indulgently, "let
her get the supper. She ought to get
into practice. For even if I have a
good housekeeper. I expect my wife to
know how to do things."
He gave vent to a self-satisfied
chuckle. Mr. and Mrs. Hardy echoed
his laugh feebly, and Jane hurried
from the room to avoid hearing any
more of her fiance's clumsy pleasan
tries.

Mothers of little children will be sure to
welcome this coat. It is a very smart one
and at the same time, it is a simple one.
j Beneath the cape, there is a and the
full portions of the coat are joined to this
' yoke. If a simpler garment is wanted,
| the cape can be omitted, and in such case,
j it is pretty to smock the fulness in place
|of gathering it. Here, the material is
broadcloth with fur trimming, but little
children will wear corduroy, velveteen,
velvet and heavy silks, drap d'ete and a
variety of cloths, so that there is wide
opportunity lor choice, and the trimming
can be varied almost Indefinitely. Fur is
In the height of fashion, but binding of
silk braid will also be used. Soutache
braid applied over a simple design would
make a pretty finish, and for the very little
children, a coat of drap d'ete or broad
cloth could be scalloped or embroidered
to make a good effect. The pattern gives
the true basting line and also the seam
allowance added beyond that line.
For the 2 year size will be needed, 3 yds.
of material 37 in. wide, 2% yds. 36, 2 yds.
