And, Jane, it's foolish to throw away such a chance. Not every girl has it." "But, Bob, I'm not in love with Dim. "You'll learn to care He s a delightful de-lightful chap, I'd say." Bob was eager. "Now look here, Janey, I'm talking to you like a Dutch uncle. It isn't as if I were advising you to do it for our sakes. It is for jour own sake, too. Why, it would be great, old girl. Never another worry. Somebody always to look after you." The wind outside was singing a wild song, a roaring, cynical song, it seemed to Jane. She wanted to say to Bob, "But I've always been tappy in my little house with Baldy and Philomel, and the chickens and the cats." But of course Bob could say, "You're not happy now, and anyhow what are you going to do about Judy?" Judy! She had spoken at last with an effort. ef-fort. "I'll tell him to come over after dinner. We can ride for a bit." "Why not stay here? I'll be at the hospital. And the storm is pretty bad." She had looked out of the window. "There's no snow. Just the wind. And I feel-stifled." It was then that she had called up Towne. "I can't dint with you .". . Judy is desperately ill . . ." The houseworker had prepared a delicious dinner, but Jane ate nothing. noth-ing. Bob's appetite, on the other band, was good. He apologized for it- "I went without lunch, I was so worried." The bell rang.

"Do you love me enough" she hurried over the words, "to help me?" "Yes." He drew her gently towards to-wards him. There was no struggle. She lay quietly against his arm, but he was aware that she trembled. "Mr. Towne, Judy must have a great specialist right away. It's her only chance. If you will send for him tonight, make yourself responsible respon-sible for everything I'll marry you whenever you say." He stared down at her, unbelieving. unbeliev-ing. "Do you mean it, Jane?" "Yes. Oh, do you think I am dreadful?" He laughed exultantly, caught her up to him. "Dreadful? You're the dearest ever, Jane." Yet as he felt her fluttering heart, he released her gently. Her eyes were full of tears. He touched her wet cheek. "Don't let me frighten you, my dear. But I am very happy." hap-py." She believed herself happy. He was really irresistible.

I'll make you love me." Then just before they reached home he asked for the rose. She gave it to him, all fading fragrance. He touched it to her lips then crushed it against his own. "Must I be content with this?" Her quick breath told her agitation. agita-tion. He drew her to him, gently. "Come, my sweet." Oh, money, money. Jane learned that night the power of it! Coming in with Frederick from that wild moonlighted world, flushed with excitement,- hardly knowing this new Jane, she saw Bob transformed trans-formed in a moment from haggard hopelessness to wild elation. Frederick Towne had made a simple sim-ple statement. "Jane has told me how serious things are, Heming. I want to help." Then he had asked for the surgeon's name; spoken at once of a change of rooms for Judy; increased attendance. There was much telephoning and telegraphing. An atmosphere of efficiency. Jane, looking on, was filled with admiration. admira-tion. How well he did things. And some day he would be her husband! CHAPTER XII It was two days after Jane promised prom-ised to marry Frederick Towne that Evans bought a Valentine for her. The shops were full of valentines many of them of paper lace the fragile old-fashioned things that had become a new fashion. They had forget-me-nots on them and hearts with golden arrows, and fat pink cupids.- Evans found it hard to choose. He stood before them, smiling. And he could see Jane smile as she read the enchanting verse of the one he finally selected: "Roses red, my dear. And violets blue Honey's sweet, my dear. And so are you." As he walked up F Street to his office, his heart was light It was one of the lovely days that hint of spring. Old Washingtonians know that such weather does not last-that last-that March winds must blow, and storms must come. But they grasp the joy of the moment masquerade in carnival spirit buy flowers from the men at the street corners-sweep corners-sweep into their favorite confectioner's confection-er's to order cool drinks, the women wom-en seek their milliner' and come forth bonneted in spring beauty the men drive to the links and look things over. And clients came. Not many, but enough to point the way to success. He had sold more of the old books. His mother's milk farm was becoming becom-ing a fashionable fad. Edith Towne had helped to bring Mrs. Follette's wares before her friends. At all hours of the day they drove out, Edith with them. "It is such an adorable place," she told Evans, "and your mother! Isn't she absolutely herself? Selling milk with that empress air of hers. I simply love her." Edith had planned to have dinner with them tonight Evans took an early train to Sherwood. When he reached home Edith and his mother were on the porch and the Towne car stood before the gate. "I've got to go back," Edith explained. ex-plained. "Uncle Fred came in from Chicago an hour or two ago and telephoned that he must see me." "Baldy will be broken-hearted," Evans told her, smiling. "I couldn't get him up. I tried, but they said he had left the office. I thought I'd bring him out with me." She kissed Mrs. Follette. "I'll come again soon, dear lady. And you must tell me when you are tired of me." Evans went to the car with her, and came back to find his mother in an exalted mood. "Now if you could marry a girl like Edith Towne." "Edith." he laughed lightly. "Mother, are you blind? She and Baldy are mad about each other." "Of course she isn't serious. A boy like that." "Isn't she? I'll say she is." Evans went charging up the stairs to dress for dinner. "I'll be down presently." "Baldy may be late; we won't wait for him," his mother called after him. The dining-room at Castle Manor had a bare waxed floor, an old drop-leaf table of dark mahogany, deer's antlers over the mantel, and some candles in sconces. Old Mary did her best to follow the rather formal service on which Mrs. Follette insisted. The food was simple, but well-cooked, and there was always a soup and a salad. It was not until they reached the salad course that they heard the sound of Baldy's car. He burst in at the front door, as if he battered it down, stormed through the hall, and entered the dining-room like a whirlwind. "Jane's going to be married," he cried, "and she's going to marry Frederick Towne!" Evans half -rose from his chair. Everything turned black and he sat down. There was a loud roaring in his ears. It was like taking ether with the darkness and the roaring. When things cleared he found that neither his mother nor Baldy had noticed no-ticed his agitation. His mother was asking quick questions. "Who told you? Does Edith know?" Baldy threw himself in a chair. "Mr. Towne got back from Chicago this afternoon. Called me up and said he wanted me to come over at once to his office. I went, and he gave me a letter from Jane. Said he thought it was better for him to bring it, and then he could explain." He threw the note across the table ta-ble to Mrs. Follette. "Will you read it? I'm all in. Drove like the dickens coming out. Towne wanted me to go home with him to dinner. Wanted to begin the brother-in-law business right away before I got my breath. ' But I left. Oh. the darned peacock!" Jane would have known Baldy's mood. The tempest-gray tempest-gray eyes, the chalk-white face. "But don't you like it. Baldy?" "Like it? Oh, read that note. Does it sound like Jane? I ask you, does it sound like Jane?" It did not sound in the least like Jane. Not the Jane that Evans and Baldy knew. "Baldy, dear. Mr. Towne will tell you all about it. I am going to marry mar-ry him as soon as Judy is better. I know you will be surprised, but Mr. Towne is just wonderful, and it will be such a good thing for all of us. Mr. Towne will tell you how dreadfully ill Judy is. He wants to do everything for her, and that will be such a help to Bob. "And so we will live happy ever after. Oh, you blessed boy, you know how I love you. Send a wire, and say that it is all right Tell Evans and Mrs. Follette. They are my dearest friends and will always be." She signed herself: "Loving you more than ever, "Jane." Mrs. Follette looked up from the letter, took off her reading glasses, and said complacently, "I think it is very nice for her." The dear lady quite basked in the thought of her intimate friendship with the fiancee of Frederick Towne. But the two men did not bask. "Nice, for Jane?" they threw the sentences at her. "Oh, can't you see why she has done it?" Baldy demanded. He caught up the note, pointing an accusing ac-cusing finger as he read certain phrases. "It will be such a good thing for all of us . . . he wants to do everything for her ... it will bo such a help to Bob . . ." "Doesn't that show," Baldy demanded de-manded furiously, "she's doing it because be-cause Judy and Bob are hard up and Towne can help I know Jane." "I don't see why you should object," ob-ject," Mrs. Follette was saying; "it will be a fine thing for her. She will be Mrs. Frederick Towne!" "I'd rather have her Jane Barnes for the rest of her life. Do you know . Towne's reputation? Any woman can flatter him into a love affair. A fat Lothario." Baldy did not mince the words. "But he hasn't married any of them," said Mrs. Follette triumphantly. trium-phantly. She held to the ancient and honorable theory that the woman a man marries need not worry wor-ry about past love affairs since she had been paid the compliment of at least legal permanency. Evans' lips were dry. "What did you say to Towne?" "Oh, what could I say? That 1 was surprised, and all that. Something Some-thing about hoping they'd be happy. Then I beat it and got here as fast as I could. I had to talk it over with you people or burst." His eyes met Evans' and found there the sympathy he sought. "It's a rotten trick." "Yes," said Evans, "rotten." "I think," said Mrs. Follette. "that you must both see it is best." Yet her voice was troubled. Though her complacency had penetrated the thought of what Jane's engagempnt might mean to Evans. Yet, it might, on the other hand, be a blessing in disguise. There were other women, wom-en, richer who would help him in his career. And in time he woula forget Jane. Old Mary gave them their collee "Shall we walk for a bit, Baldy?" Evans said, when at last they rose. The two men made their way towards to-wards the pine grove. The twilight sky was a deep purple with a thin sickle of a moon and a breathless star. And there in the little grove under the purple sky Evans said to Baldy, "I love her." "I know. I wish to God you had her." (TO BE COSTISVED) Colorado Elk Herds Show Increase in Number More than 20,000 elk, the greatest number since 1390, roam the slopes of the Rocky mountains in Colorado, despite the fact they have been the targets for hunters during 10 consecutive con-secutive open seasons, the U. S. forest service reported. The present elk population in 14 national forests in the state, which harbor approximately 95 per cent of the total number, has been estimated esti-mated at 20,000 head by the regional office of the forest service here, writes a Denver United Press correspondent cor-respondent The figure represented an increase of 455 per cent since 1914. The computation com-putation was based on a study conducted con-ducted by the division of wild life and range management of the federal fed-eral service. The most important factor in increasing in-creasing the number of elk in the state, it was stated, was in closing the hunting season and providing protection for 10 years when it was apparent the herds were diminishing- Even then, it was said, conservation conserva-tion of the animals was not started until four forests in the state were totally devoid of elk, and so few remained re-mained in three other forests that rigid protection precautions were necessary. Remnants of the remaining herds and animals obtained from northern Wyoming were introduced into the elkless forests, and all hunting was barred for several years. Feed was provided during the winters when deep snow covered the mountains and every precaution was taken to eliminate disease. The first elk placement was made in 1912 when 23 head were released in the San Juan forest in southwestern south-western Colorado. During the following fol-lowing year 16 were placed in the Holy Cross forest to supplement an almost equal remnant of native animals. ani-mals. Twenty-eight animals were released in Roosevelt forest to create cre-ate the nucleus of the vast herd now found in the region of Estes park. The action produced such successful success-ful results, forest officials reported, that it probably would be several years before a bunting ban again would be placed upon the Colorado elk herds.
