It wna ii 'bliobblnh' little town, and from tho fjnrt everyone said Tom's lutirringo would tie" u t'lillure. For lie bad com mitted the unpardonable sin of over looking the marriageable girls In his own-set and marrying n rani: outsider. And' that wasn't nil. Tom had found her 'doing a song and dunce act In a cabaret. To the people In a small town, where everyone bus always known everyone else, tin outsider of whom they know nothing always re tnnlps more or less an outsider. But to be an actress Into the bargain placed Jean entirely outside the pnlo. That the song and dance had been n very good one, as well as Innocent and clean, made no difference. The young people opened up tho big house and In duo time people called. However, they were obliged to nd mlt that the house was clean, and that Tom seemed to be very well cared for Indeed. Instead of helping Jean's case this only served to antagonize them the more, for everyone hates to be proved In the wrong. No one ever culled twice, for there seemed to be an unspoken agreement nmong the town ladles to slight Jean ns much as possible. Tom was a member of tho country club, so ho took his bride to several of the Saturday night dances, where she was rather popular with the men. Naturally she was a splendid dancer. She was pretty, too, and men found her the best of company. She would have been Just as friendly and amus ing with tho women, but they never gnve her a chance. At first she thought she could get along very nicely with out the approval of the women, but she soon found that the married men no longer nsk'cd her for dances, and even some of the younger ones began to show tho Influence of mothers nnd sisters. Of course It made Tom very unhappy, for this was his "home town," nnd he Intended to spend a good many years there. He spoke of It to Jean Just once, for when he saw the hurt look In her eyes he realized that after nil It was harilest onher. In the end Jean found that she real ly didn't care whether they approved of her or not, for deep In her heart sho knew them for what they were. Tills Is how It camo about: It was n fearfully hot night In Au gust, almost too hot to dance anyhow, when sho and Tom arrived at the club rather late. Jean walked Into the dressing room, to find It crowd ed with women. There was nothing strange In that, for It was usually a favorite resort between dances. JJut there was something strange In the way they were standing around whis pering. Something In the atmosphere suggested panic. As Jenn entered sho hoard n whisper. "She's been sick for n week and no one has been near her but the doctor, nnd be 'can't even get n nurse to take the ca?e. M' dear, she's got " The speaker saw Jean and turned her back quickly, so the last word was lost. Jean walked Into the room nnd saw a girl sitting In a huge chair. Her pretty face was ghastly and sho was talking hysterically to the women near her. "I rode out from town with her tho day she was taken ill," she was saying. "My God, If I get It my face will bo marked." Her voice rose In a trembling cres cendo and broke. Jean stared at her, a look of horror slowly dawning In her eyes. She turned and walked quietly from tho room and stood for a moment on tho veranda, contemplat ing a search for Tom. Sho decided against It because sho knew ho would try to prevent what sho Intended to do. She hurried home and changed quickly Into more serviceable clothes. She packed a bag and, leaving a note on tho table for Tom, she stole out a side, door and across the field to the doctor's. She found him preparing to go out and bis face was white and tired. "I am going out on an Important case," he said, "so If you're not ter ' ribly HI I can't stop now.'' Jean explained her errand and over came the doctor's resistance. He ex pected the crisis that night and ho was greatly in need of help, even as Inex perienced as Jean's would be. So ihe one-time cabaret performer did what none of the "virtuous wires" had th courage to do. There is no need to tell of the terrible battle Jean and, the docter waged against death. They conquered and Jean stayed with the 'woman until she was feble to care for herself again. Of course, Tom bad tried to get Jean home again, but she waa In quarantine, so his efforts were useless, even If she herself would have consented to so. When she finally did go back home there was a look about her that fright ened Tom. Her old ready smite set- . dom lit up her- face and there was a serenity in her bearing that aothlag could ilftlffb- 'After seeing what that ither wet0 had suffevdj her owa troubles seemed petty.

At the look on his mother's face, he added, contritely: , "Forgive me, mother. I shouldn't have said It" They moved away. Ashley sat motionless. That merci less indictment from Gordon, ids hope and pride! It was a full half-hour before he arose, closed the door and locked It. He dropped into his chair and laid his head upon his folded arms. "Allle Betty Kent down In Wheat field I" That must be Alice Elizabeth's daughter. In tho days when Wheat field had been his home, Alice Eliza beth's name had uot been Kent but Courtney. k After a few moments, bo raised his head, unlocked a drawer and took" out a box. From the box ho drew a .shab by pockctbook, nnd from this,- in turn, a tiny, yellowed silk bag. Ho untied Its string and shook the contents out upon tho blotter a circlet of braided sweet grass, dry and brittle, and a gold ring set with a small diamond. He remembered the day he had braided the grass and measured Alice Elizabeth's finger. They sat under the maples on tho river bank. The sun sent golden shafts of light through the trees to fall upon her yellow hair. She had insist ed upon hnvlng tho braided ring to keep and had made tho little silk bag for It, the very evening ho had placed the diamond on her finger. He remembered, too, the evening nenrly two years later, when sho had given them back. He recalled frag ments of the conversation. "You have grown so hard." "Nothing matters except having your own way, and it does not matter that your way Is not .always right." "I do not dare to risk life, with you." "Please try to change, or I fear you will some day bo a lonely, wretched old man." His hurt had been deep. He could not destroy tho rings, but had bidden them. . Thirty-five years, and he had not changed. If tonight were any criterion, be was on his way to tho lonely, wretched old age she had prophesied. A rap sounded at the door. With the pitiful diamond still clasped In bis hand, Ashley unlocked It Gordon came In, his shoulders squared. "I wasn't sure you had come home," he said. "Are you too busy to listen to me for a few moments?" Ashley pushed back his papers. "Go ahead," be said, gruffly. Gordon came straight to the point "I'm engaged to be married, father. I thought It best to tell you." Ashley was silent Gordon stumbled on. "It is Allle Betty Kent She lives In Wheatficld, where we used to go summers." He waited, tense, for the expected outburst "In Wheatlleld," mused his father. "Must be Alice Courtney's daugh ter." "She uV answered the young man. Believed, he sat on the corner of the desk and picked up a circlet of dried grass that lay there, nervously break. Ing It to bits and laying the bits spoa the platter.
