The Tragedy
WHEN they broke open the door the girl
on the bed looked as though she might
be asleep .
There was a wistful smllo on her "face.
One hand had dropped almost carelessly
across the rumpled
sheets of the cheap
Iron bed. The other
hand was huddled
on her bosom, Its
half-opened Angers
clutching a baby's
white eatln shoe,
much as a child,
dropping off Into
dreamland, would
hold a faorlte toy.
But the girl on
the bed wasn't
asleep. Her smile
was too set and
her face was too
white Uen had

The erdict of tho Coroner's Jury later
ws suicide, and, except for a few lines
tucked Into an Inner page of the news
papers, the case was forgotten, for Mary
Osborne was only a shopgirl In a depart
ment store. Her passing, whether by her
own hand or otherwise, was too Inslgnlfl
cant a circumstance even to make a ripple
In the busy life of the great city. Some
times the biggest tragedies are those wo
never see.
The dead girl had left no note behind
explaining her action. As a matter of fact,
, a note wasn't needed.
There was nothing but the frayed, dis
colored baby's shoe, gripped In her Hfo
! hand The police didn't bother tracing
the shoe, or Its history. What was the use?
There was no foul play. The case was
obvious from the official viewpoint. Only
another working girl, perhaps In a fit of
hysteria, or melancholia, had ended her
life. She would be decently. It cheaply,
burled at public expense, since she had no
apparent relathes or friends.
What more could be done?
And yet, every now and then clety
rises to ask Itself the smug jjuestlonjwbat

Use Freihofer's Liberty Loaf and you

feel obliged to turn into stale -bread
dishes at the expense of time, labor
butter, eggs and fuel.
For Freihofer's Liberty Loaf stays
fresh; is moist, palatable and appetizing,
even to the third day- It's partly in the
milling of the flour; partly in the baking.

KAISER'S PEACE OFFERS
DENOUNCED BY RUSSIA
"Hypocritical, Enigmatic and Contrary
to. Reichstag Resolution,"
Tcrcstchcnko Declares
WASHINGTON, Oct 17. Uussla regards
the Kaiser's peace offers as "hypocritical,
enigmatic and cen contrary to the llelclis
tag resolutions," according to a cable to
the Uusslan embassy today from Foreign
Minister Tcrcstchcnko. Ills statement did
not dlscloso the slightest leaning toward a
separate peace with tho Teutons.
"Tho German Government does not re
nounce a 'German peace' which conflicts
with principles of law and Justice," said
Terestchenko. "It would only consent to
peaco negotiations on the basis of main
taining tho conquered territories, except
perhaps some partial restitutions, which
would be decided upon at tho peace con
ference Itself."
After declaring that President Wilson's
reply to tho Vatican precisely formulated
tho Allies' general nlms, Terestchenko said
"On tho other hand, renewed Ilussla has
announced tho principles for which tho
free peoplo of Ilussla aro fighting With
regard to this, Germany has made no open
nnd frank declaration, always proclaiming
the supremacy of force to law, awaiting the
moment when sho will havo the possibility
of consolidating her attained conquests by
force "
