of Jane Smith By PATRICIA WENTWORTH. (Copyright, 1925, by Small, Maynard & Co.) (Continued from Yesterday's Star.) Jane stepped back. Her eyes blazed. *And why?" she said. tried to say it felly, but she could not steady her.voice. Henry's arm felt solid and comfortable. “Because I'm damned N I'll let you,” said Henry very loud, and upon that the door cpened and there entered Mrs. de Luttrelle March, larger, pink- er, and more horrified than Jane had ever seen her. She, for her part, be- bheld Henry, his arms about a shabby girl, and lher horror reached its cli- max when she recognized the girl as “that dreadfully designing Jane Smith.” “Henry,"” she gasped—*"oh, Henr: Jane released herself with a jerk, and Mrs. de Luttrelle March sat down in the nearest chair and burgt into a flood of tears. Her purple satin opera cloak fell away, disclesing a peach- colored garment that clung to her plump contours and seemed calculated rather for purposes of revelation than concealment. Large tears rolled down ber powdered cheeks, and she sought in vain for a handkerchief. “Henry—I didn’t think It of you—at least not here, not under my very roof. And if you were going to break my heart like vour father it would have been kinder to do it 10 years ago, because then I should have known what to expect, and, anyhow, 1 should probably have been dead by now She sniffed and made a desperate gesture. “Oh, Henry, T can't find it! Haven't You got one, or don’t you care whether my heart’s broken ~ And 1 haven't even got a handkerchief to cry with.” Henry produced a handkerchief and &ave it to her without attempting to speak. Years of experience had taught him that to stay his mother's first flood of words was an impossi- ility. Jane felt rather sick. Mrs. March Was so very large and pink, and the Whole affair so very undignified that her one overmastering desire was to Bet away. She heard Henry's “This is Miss Smith, mother. She came to sce me on business”; and then Mrs. March's wail, “Your father always called it busin. too. and 1 did think—no, I didn't think you'd bring a girl in" here when my back was turned.” Jane stood up very straight, Henry had taken her hand again, “I' beg your pardon,” he said, In a very low voice. “She-—she had a rot- ten time when she was young”; then, in a tone that cut {hrough Mrs. March's sobs as an East wind cuts the rain, he said “My dear mother, you are making some extraordinary mistake. The last time that I saw Miss Smith was three years ago. I then asked her to marry me, and she refused. T would g0 on asking her every day from now to kingdom come if I thought that it was e slightest good. As it isn't, T am anxlous to be of use to her in any possible way She came here tonight :o ask my advice on an official mat- e Mrs. March fixed her very large blus es upon her son. They were swim- ming with tears, but behind the tears there was something which suddenly went to Jane's heart—something be- wildered and hurt, and rather un- grown-up. fou always were a good bo: Henry,” said Mrs. March, and Henry's nstant rigid embarrassment had the effect of cheering Jane. She came forward and took the limp white hand that still clutched a’borrowed hand- Xerchlef. “I'm sure he'll always be a good son to you, and I wouldn't take him away from you for the world. He's just a very kind friend. Good-night, Mrs. March. She went out without looking back, but Henry followed her into the hall. “You're not real going to plunge Into this foolish affair?” he said as they stood for a moment by the door. It was Jane who opened it. “Yes, I am, Henry. You can’t stop me, and you know it Jane's eves looked straight into h, and Henry did know. “Very well, then. Read the agony column in the Times.

She but CHAPTER IV. “This,” sald “4s the fire-escape.” that of one who says, “This is our Rembrandt.” Proud proprietorship pervaded his entire atmosphere. “Ssh!" said Jane. They stood together in a small back yard. It seemed to be quite full of things like barrows, paving stones, ald tin cans and broken crockery. Jane had already tripped over a meat tin and collided with two chicken coops and a dog kennel. She reflected that this was just the sort of back yard Arnold would find. Everything was very dark. The blackest shadow of all marked the wall that they were to climb. Here and there a lighted window showed, and Jane could see that these win- dows had rounded parapets jutting out on a level with the sill. Arnold, meanwhile, was tugging at something which seemed to be a short plank. - “What on earth?” she whispered. “We shall need it. I'd better go first.” And forthwith he began to climb, clutching the plank with one hand and the iron ladder with the other. Jane let him get a good start, and followed The ladder was quite easy to climb; 1t was only when one thought of how immensely far away the skyline had Jooked that it seemed as if it would be very uncomfortable to look down pstead of up, and to see that horrid little yard equally far below. Jane did look down once, and every- thing was black and blurred and shadowy. It was odd to be clinging to the side of a house, with the dark all round one, and the steady roar of the London traffic dulled almost to nothingless. The night was very still, and a little cold. Somewhere below among the tin cans a cat said, “Grrrwoosh,” not loud, but cn a softly Inquiring note. The inquiry was instantly answered by a long, piercing wail which travel- ed rapidly over four octaves, and then dwelt with soulful intensity upon an agonizing top note. With a muttered exclamation, Ar- nold Todhunter dropped his plank. It grazed Jane's shoulder, and fell among the cats and crockery with a most appalling clatter. : Jane shut her eyes, gripped the lad- der desperately and wondered whether she would fall first and be arrested afterward, or the other way about. Nothing happened. Ap- Arnold Todhunter, His tone was parently the nelghborhood was inured to the bombardment of cats. After a moment Jane became aware of Arnold's” boots in close proximity to her head. A wave of fury swept away her giddiness, and she began to descend with a rapidity which sur- prised herself. ' Once more they stood in the yard. Once more Arnold groped for his " sald Jane, in a low tone of rage. “I won't bs gull- lotined on a public fire-escape. Which floor 1s 1t? “The top,” said Arnold sulkily, and without more ado Jane went up the ladder. It was exactly like a rather horrid dream. The ladder was very cold and very gritty, and you climbed, and climbed, and went on climbing with- out arriving anywhere. Pictures of the Eiffel Tower and New York skyscrapers fiitted through Jane's mind. She also remembered interesting paragraphs about how many million pennies placed on end would reach to the moon. And at long, long last the escape ended at a windowsill with a parapet inclosed space beneath it. Jane sat down on the windowsill and shut her eyes tight. She had a horrid feeling that the bullding was rocking a little. After a moment Arnold crawled over the edge of the coping, dragging his plank. He was panting. “This,” he sald, with his mouth close to Jane's ear—“leads to the landing where the lift shaft ends. We've got to get across to the next one, which .is Inside Molloy’s flat. That's what the plank is for.” “You're blowing down my neck,” sald Jane. Arnold Todhunter felt that he had never met a girl whom he disliked so much. Extraordinary that she should look so like Renata and be so different. He knelt just inside the parapet, and pushed the board slowly out into the dark until it rested on the parapet of the next window. . “Will you go @irst, or shall I?” he whispered. “I will.” Jane felt sure that, if she had to watch Arnold balancing on that plank miles above the ground, she would never be able to cross it her- self. The reflection that it was Renata, and not she, who would have to make the descent, fortified her considerably. Even so, she never quite knew how she crossed to the other window. It was an affair of clenched teeth and 2 mind that shut out resolutely every thing except the next groping clutch of the hand—the next carefully taken step. She sank agalnst the window sill and heard Arnold follow her. Just at the end he slipped; he seemed to change his feet, and then with a heavy thud pitched down on the top of Jane. She though he said “Damn!” and she was quite sure that she said “Idiot!" There was an awful moment while they listened for the fall of the plank, but it held to the coping by a bare half-inch. “Thank goodness I'm not Renata!” said Jane, with heartfelt sincerity. And— “Thank goodness, you're not!" re- turned Mr. Todhunter, with equal fervor, and at that moment the win- dow opened. There was a little sobbing gasp, and a girl was clinging to Arnold Todhunter and whispering: “Darling—darling, 1 thought you'd never come.” Arnold crawled through the open window, and from the pitch-Black hall there came the sounds of dem- onstrative affection. “Good gracious, counting for tastes!" sald Jane, un- der her breath. And she, too, climbei down into the darkness Arnold appeared to be trying to ex- plain Jane to Renata, while Renata alternated between sobs and kisses. Jane lost her tempor, suddenly and completely. “For goodness’ sake, you two, Coma where there's a light, and where we can talk sense. Every minute you waste is just asking for trouble. What's that room with the light?” It is difficult to be impressive in a low whisper, but Renata did stop kissing Arnold. “My bedroom,” she said. posed to be locked in.” Jane groped In the dark and got Renata by the arm. “Come along In there and talk to me. We've got to talk. Arnold can walt outside the window. I don't want him in the least. You're going to spend the rest of your life with him in Bolivia, £0 you needn't worry. 1 simply won't have him whilst we are talking.” Arnold loathed Jane a little more, but Renata allowed herself to be de- tached from him with a sob. Inside the lighted bedroom the two girls looked at one another in an amazed silence. In height and contour, feature and coloring, the likeness was without a flaw Facing them was a small wardrobe of painted wood. A narrow panel of looking-glass formed the door. The two figures were reflected in it, and Jane, tossing her hat on to the bed, studied them there with a long, care- ful scrutiny. The same brown hair, growing in the same odd peak upon the fore- head, the same arch to the brow, the same greenish-hazel eyes. Renata's face was tear-stained, her eyelids red and swollen—*"but that's exactly how I look when I cry,” said Jane. She set her -hand by Renata’s hand, her foot by Renata's foot. The same to a shade. The other girl watched her with be- wildered eyes. “Speak—say something,” said Jane. “What shall 1 say?” “Anything—themultiplication table, the days of the week—I want to hear your voice.” “Oh, Jane, what an odd girl you are!” ‘sald Renata—*and don’t you think Arnold had better come in? It must be awfully cold out there.” “Presently,” said Jane. “It’s very hard to tell, but I belleve that our voices are as much alike as the rest of us.” She opened her bag and took out The List and a pencil. “Now, write something—I don't care what.” Renata wrote her own name, an , after a pause, “It is a fine day. uite like,” said Jane, “but nearly all girls do write the same hand now I can manage that.

Correspond. of the Associated Press. LONDON, January 28 —Several mil- lions of pounds sterling are waiting at the department of overseas trade for Britgsh traders to borrow, but they do not come forward. The de- partment has authority, under the export credits scheme initlated three years ago, to finance traders in the export of goods for any sum from $50 upward, and although several millions have been lent for that pur- pose there are many more millions availabl British trade is belleved to be on the upgrade, and the department is at a loss to know why exporters do not take advantage of the facllities. Practically, they are asking people to borrow money and participate in the scheme, which for a small pre- mium guarantees payment of bills drawn by exporters against export of British goods, and under certain con- ditions participates in any loss. NATIVES START PRAYING FOR RAINS TO HOLD UP South Wales Damaged by Wet ‘Weather Believed Cause of Mountain Moving. Correspondence of the Associated Press, BARGOED, South Wales, January 26.—The natives of Bargoed becgan a series of prayer services recently with the hope, of bringing about the advent of dryer weather, which it was believed would arrest the move- ment of Troedrhiwfuwch Mountain near here, which has done great property damage and become a men- ace to the community. Fresh fissures have appeared at the foot of the moving mountains and all the nearby highways have been closed to trafic. Water mains supplying more than 100,000 persons in the Phymney valley have been broken by the pressure of the moving earth and several hundred workmen have been employed to make repairs as rapldly as_possible. Several sectlons of a newly con- structed main trunk sewer, which cost more than $3,000,000, have already been destroyed and in some places the pipes were pushed 20 to 30 feet out of position. 29 Miss Poppy Wingate is England’s ope and only woman golf profes- sional. “Pape’s Cold Compound” Breaks a Cold Right Up stay stuffed-up!
