OF INTEREST TO THE WOMENi
WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER XLIII.
Copyright, 1916. by Star Company.
So this was the outcome of her plan
ning, her hopes for a resumption of
the former relations between herself
and her friends!
Jane understood this, yet she uttered
no further protest to her husband's
verdict. Instead, she went on into the
little room adjoining the large bedroom
and proceeded to undress.
She was ready for bed, and had put
on a warm dressing gown over her
nightgown, when her husband appeared
at the door of the small room. As
she atood there in front of her mirror,
braiding her long hair, she looked very
childish In the dim light of the one
candle on the bureau. •
Reeves had not started to undress.
While he was still In a bad humor,
he was secretly ashamed of the vio
lence of his speech. But he would not
apologize. Vaguely, he wished that
■lane would reopen the discussion tnat
he might have a chance to justify him
self. But although he remained watch
ing her, she did not speak. He broke
the silence by a question.
"You understood what I said a while
ago?"
"Yes. I understood." his wife replied.
That was all. She did not even look
at him. He tried to make her do so.
"Perhaps you think I'm hard on you,
Jane, but I'm not. Many a man would
have been angrier than I was after see
ing what I saw to-night."
The recollection of his wife and
young Guilford together caused him all
at once to feel that his wrath had been
just. But he wanted her to agree that
he was right.
"Haven't you anything to say?" he
insisted.
"Nothing." Her eyes were still upon
the long braid which she had brought
over her shoulder and was plaiting to
the very end of the shining tresses. "I
said all I had to say. I don't care to
talk any more about It. please. Augus
tus. I made my request. You refused
to grant it. That ends the discussion.
I think."
She Does Xot Argue
"Well, I was right to refuse!" he ex
claimed.
She did not deny his assertion. In
deed. she seemed not to hear it. He
had a baffled feeling, as If he had be
come the possessor of something that
eluded him. something that was only
In seeming his possession. His mind
was not analytical enough nor his In
tellect broad enough for him to un
derstand that in marriage, as in other
things, the letter killeth, and that the
spirit gives life. In his marriage the
letter alone was there; the spirit was
lacking.
He went back into the large room
and undressed rapidly, then got into
bed. Five minutes later he was snor
ing. Xot until then did Jane start to
go to bed.
But as she was half-way across the
room in which her husband slept she
heard a creaking of a board in the up

I Stepping to the door, she looked out
'! into the dark hall. As she did so, a
' 1 soft whisper attracted her attention,
j "It's only me." Mary told her, cow
ing close to her. and laying a hand on
; j hers. "Don't be afraid."
1 1 "I heard him come in. In a temper."
'' the housekeeper murmured, "and I

I "Thank you," she whispered, "but I
jam all right. I don't need any help."
| "But you may yet." Mary went on
hastily. "I don't forget. I haven't for

"You must go to bed, Mary," Jane
said firmly. She had no right to allow
this woman to mention Augustus in
this way. And yet down in her heart
she felt a glow of comfort as she under

her.

j "I'm going!" the woman said, "but
j remember. Good night!"
A second later Jane was standing
alone in the hall.
Creeping back into her husband's
room, she stood listening. Augustus
was evidently sound asleep. No pangs
of conscience nor stirrings of pity kept
him awake. It was his habit to sleep
through an entire night. Therefore he
would not know whether his wife lay
down in this room or in the other.
1 The bed in the smaller room was al
ways made up and ready for occupancy,
i Jane had seen to this herself soon after
I she came here to live. Now she went
jinto the little room, closing softly the
i door of communication between that
' and the apartment in which her hus
j band lay.
| She crept Into the single bed with
a sigh of relief. Here she might toss
and turn and think out her problem
without fear of disturbing any one.
; She was sure she would sleep quietly
| here.
! But many hours passed before slum

the events of the evening, Ruth's
; words, her own promise, and her hus
; band's harsh commands,
i She knew that these last must be
followed. But how could she bring
1 herself to obey them? For obedience
meant the alienation of the friends
j whom she had hoped to win back to

Although she did not lose consclous-

He told of a number of occasions when
the United States has been jolted by
international entanglements which
threatened war.
The conclusion drawn by Mr. Taft
from President Wilson's "address in
New York was that it is impossible to
know what to expect from dav to dav

COPYRIGHT 1918.
By G. R. Smith.
Author and Experienced Poultryman.
Ah, the luxury of a "strictly fre.sh"
egg! But at sixty rents a dozen this
delirious article of diet Is rather too
much of a "luxury" for the average
purse. Run a little egg factory of
your own. Raise your own chickens,
or buy them. Produce your own
"strictly fresh" eggs—and EAT
THEM, too. Be a millionaire in one
respect. Begin any season of the year.
It's easy. The man who starts and
starts rightly will never wish to stop.
THIS Is the first thought: Where
shall I keep the birds? It is
the first necessity. But large
space and large houses are not at all
essential for the best results with
"Twelve Hens in a Backyard."
A hen is the most accommodating
creature in the world. She would en-
Joy a thousand-acre run, but If you
will feed her well and keep her busy
and comfortable she will sing Jill the
1 year through in a six-by-eight house,
i and lay you eggs by scores. Of course
■ she will do better with more "stand
iing room"—and liberal running room
; —and your sport will be measured
, largely by the comfort and conveni
ence afforded in the living quarters of
your fowls.
Have your house as large as pos
sible. A house twelve feet square will
furnish space sufficient for from 15 to
20, birds, according to the size of the
breed. Eighteen Rhode Island Reds
or White Leghorns should do well In
a house of this size. One year I kept
a dozen of the "Reds" in a house only
six by eight feet. I bought the hens
from a farmer at 75 cents apiece. In
the eight months from the first of
January to the first of September those
twelve hens laid a total of 1,550 eggs;
during the three months of January,
February and March the birds were
shut in that little house practically
every moment of day and night while
the thermometer ranged from forty
above aero to ten below—and yet 621
j of those eggs were laid during those
j three winter months. In the warm
[ weather the birds had the run of a
I yard about 15 by 20 feet in size.
Get as much sunlight Into the hen
house as possible. The hens glory in
it. Arrange the windows so that the
rays from old Sol will each day hit
every square inch of floor space If
possible. The more sun the more
eggs. And remember, the birds must
have fresh air: the open front house
is the down-to-date house. This means
open windows during the quiet days
of winter, even at the freezing point,
and cloth screens for the windows all
days except the most severe. Avoid
drafts, for the fowls, howevei*. as you
would avoid leprosy or smallpox for
yourself. (
Aim for convenience in every part
of the henhouse. Whether you have
a smooth board floor, a floor of con
crete. or just plain dirt, make the
roof high enough to enable a man six
feet high to stand upright under it
without damaging either his head or
the rafters. Three times in one day
a man may bump his head and keep
his temper and his enthusiasm; but
there are few men on this continent
who can stay in the business after 363
such experiences in one year. One
nest to every four hens may be taken
as the rule. Make them convenient
for both the hens and the caretaker.
As to the Birds Themselves
Be a sport in the best sense of the
term —or be a fancier if you prefer
that word. Whatever you call It. get
a red-hot enthusiasm over this , little
side line on your h'ome half acre. Be
gin to read everything you can find
on the subject. "Poultry" Culture" is
booming everywhere. Search for the
"thrills" if you want to get the best
out of this business.
You may take your choice of
breeds. One man likes a big. slow,
sociable sort of a fowl; he can find
what he wants among the hundred or
more different breeds and varieties.
Another man admires a small, quick,
wiry bird: he can please himself from
many different classes. Many prefer
a "general purpose" breed—and they
too. can be abundantly accommodated.
From the little bantam hen weighing
from 16 to 20 ounces up to the great
Brahma birds that weigh from 12 to
15 pounds apiece, there is plenty of
room to choose.
Get an ideal—l mean get It in your
mind. Study every breed and" all
breeds, and then think what you want.
Visit poultry shows. Study illustrated
poultry books. When you have de
cided definitely what you want, what
your ideal Is. then go after It. Be
willing to put a few dollars Into the
purchase of the fowls you really
fancy. If you buy a fifty-cent bird
you will have a fifty-cent enthusiasm.
You will get out of your fowls in sat
isfaction what you put into them In
study and zeal and cash.
Don't assume that you know It all
at' first—there's more about this poul
try subject than you and I have
dreamed of. Expect to learn. Look
for some bewildering- disappointments.
If you are unsophisticated there Is
plenty of fun ahead of you. A man
needs plenty of grit and gumption to
play the poultry game ir. fine form.
Retter not swing In too deeplv at first.
Get your bearings, be sure you know,
then go ahead!
Care of tlie Mock
Almost everything depends on the
care of the flock. The best hens In
the world will not lay in winter with
out wise attention to feed and comfort
and exercise. The house must be kept
perfectly dry, have no wetness under
foot or dampness overhead. Good
ventilation will care for this largely.
Plenty of nice, clean litter of straw
or other similar substance from six
to eight Inches deep on th? floor is
an absolute necessity. Into this litter
various kinds of grain should br scat
tered every day. The hens will dig
every kernel of It; out. Examine the
litter frequently to sec whether it has
been overloaded with grain.
In thus earning their wheat by the
sweat of their shanks the birds wilt
keep In the bloom of health, and songs
and eggs will soon he forthcoming,
provided, of course, other things are
looked after as carefully. Pure Water
must be kept constantly before them
In one of the best patent drinking
fountains you can purchase at the
supply store. No sloppiness! No old
leaky dishes! Such things mean bad
language, no eggs, and finally no hens.
A warm mash of bran and middlings
Is an excellent thing with which to
aLart the little flock out in the morn-

ing, but do not give them so much
that they will have no desire to dig in
the litter for graltv Keep them busy.
Ground oyster shells ana grits should
be furnished frequently in the form
of weeds from the garden, clippings
from the lawn, cabbage leaves from
the cellar, or, best of all in the win
ter, sprouted oats. Keep them warm
at night. In winter they will spend
about fourteen hours on the roost. An
adjustable curtain should be arranged
during the severest weather to con
serve the heat of their bodies and
protect them from the deadly frosts.
"Xot worth the trouble!" do you
say? Get your system running rightly,
and fifteen minutes a day should be
abun<bint time to take care of the lit
tle flock. But get the right feeling
toward the fancy and you will want to
spend more time than you can afford
to in caring for and caressing your lit
tle faithful feathered pets. "But,"
you say, "will the results material
ize ?"
Eggs For the Getting
I talked with my neighbor, a bank
president. He's a businessman clear
through. I said to him, "How many
hens have you?"
"I have fifteen," was his reply.
"Have you been getting any eggs
this fearfully cold weather?" I asked
him. It was the latter part of Janu
ary.
"O, yes!" was his quick reply. "I
get eggs every day. The largest num
ber I have gotten from the fifteen
hens in one day this month was ten."
He explained further that he got in
winter a little more than half as
many eggs as he keeps hens. Tens of
thousands can tell the same story.
The man who does not get half as
many eggs as he has hens right
through the coldest weather of winter
is not doing justice to his little flock.
The hen that will lay twelve dozen
eggs within the year is no longer a
subject of special interest. A man
who keeps 1.500 told me that his av
erage per hen last year was 166 eggs.
The "200-egg hen" Is no longer a
freak. She can be found in almost
any flock. The 300-egg hen has come,
and we are going to see more of her
kind. Our State and national govern
ments and our great universities are
searching for the possibilities of the
little hen from every scientific and
practical point of view, and all the
findings are most favorable.

SINGLE COMB ORPINGTONS
COPYRIGHT 1916
The Orpington is a breed of fowls
of which there are twelve varieties,
and the late William Cook is given
credit for their origin. He spent many
years in England breeding and per
fecting a fowl that would lay plenty
of eggs, especially in winter, and
with this in mind he was successful in
bringing out the Black. White, Buff.
Jubilee and Spangled Orpingtons in
the order named, and in both single
and rose comb varieties. Since then
other Kngiish breeders have added
the single and rose comb Blue Or

chicks. The latter are hardy and
make vigorous and rapid growth.
When matured the males weigh eight
to ten pounds, the females six to seven
pounds, having white skin and flesh
and pinkish white legs and toes.
The Buff Orpington is a handsome
fowl. Their rich, golden surface color,
great size and handsome curves com
pel admiration. Among those who
breed several varieties of Orpingtons
there seems to be the impression that
the Buffs are the best layers. They
are extremely docile and have given
general satisfaction.
