18 OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER 50 (Copyright, 1916, Star Company) The few words about children 1 brought nearer together the two wo men so unlike in character. ft was less than a week after the conversa tion just recorded that, without warn ing. Mary spoke of something over which she had evidently been brood ing. "You like children, you said," she remarked. "Would you be glad to hnve one of your own?" Jane flushed hotly. .Mary had never asked her as direct a question as this before, and it confused licr strangely. For the young wife had : not let herself think much of this matter. "I—l—don't know. Mary," she stammered. "If 1 had a child, of course I would love it—but 1 would not be sorry not to have one." "Sometimes they're blessings, some times they're—not," Mary affirmed. "That's true. But whatever they I «re, their mothers love them," Jane ail used aloud. She felt at ease again. The question had evidently been put in an impersonal way. "Yes," she | ißdded. "if I had a child I'd love it no matter what it was. Wouldn't >'ou. Mary?" "i'd love it so that 1 would die for j St?" the other murmured. As on a former occasion when this subject j •was broached, Jane saw a strange ! 3ook come to the blaok eyes. Was ! jt the Indian in this woman that made j 3ier so vehemently when motherhood | Mas mentioned'.' Were the Indians es- i jpeeially devoted mothers'.' The wonder made her ask an odd question: "Would you really die for « child, I wonder, Mary, if ho was Hot all you hoped he would be?" | "Yes." declared the other fiercely. •'l'd die for him, if it would help; j 3'd even kill for him, if necessary, j If his life and his good depended on I it!" The words were not terrifying, but , 1 »s she listened to them the younger; "woman felt a subtle dread, as if in , the presence of some sinister and: fearful influence —as one might feel, i i ehe thought timidly, in a house one j; knew was haunted —if one believed in ghosts. Afterward, when Jane reviewed !' Ihees circumstances, it seemed a re- ■ markable coincidence that only the 1 ' Jiext day a letter came for Mary Baird. I But life is full of coincidences that!' tseems too remarkable to be true. Jake had brought the mail from j. •the village post office. There was i nothing for Jane, so she did not see!

That was Mary's room, and Jane recalled now that she i had heard the housekeeper come up stairs some minutes ago. but had not given the matter a second thought. Hurrying down the hall, Jane knocked on the closed door. There was a rustling of paper, then Mary appeared at the door. Her face was haggered and her eyes rimmed with red. Jane spoke gently. "I don't want worry you," she said, "but have | you had bad news?" The thin lips twitched. "Yes." Mary murmured. "I've heard of the illness of—of—a—a person -I'm in terested in." "Oh, I'm so sorry!" the exclamation was sincere and fraught with sym pathy. It brought tears to the keen eyes. | "But don't you want to go away for a day and see—that person?" .lane sug gested. "If so, I will be glad to do : your work." "lie wouldn't let ine go, Mary whis pered. "Oh. I'm sure he will!" Jane exclaim ed. For the moment her pity rendered her oblivious to the fact that her hus band's sympathies were not as tender as hers. "Ask him—and 1 will do all 1 .can to -orsuade him to send you." "I ve got to go—l've got to!" Mary's intensity of anguish swept away pru dence and the discretion that had made her lower her voice .iust now, and she spoke loudly. "Whether he says I can or not—l must!" •She stopped with a gasp. The room in whose doorway the two women were standing was at the bead of the stairs. A slight sound made them both turn. On the top landing stocd Augustus Reeves. As Mary, over wrought and nervous, met his angry glare fixed upon her. she uttered a faint scream. With a bound, the man cleared the space between himself and her. "You ——!" he burst forth, hurling a vile epithet at the startled creature. "So "ou've been telling my wife, have you? 1 heard you! And 1 heard her say that when 1 knew what you'd told her I'd Jane!" Interrupting himself and wheeling upon the girl—"it's an in fernal lie, everything she's said —a lie, T tell you: She's a liar, and she's a bad one through and through! Surely you don't believe her?" "Augustus Keeves!" The woman i who for an instant bad cowered under his tongue-lashing now faced him fear lessly, her voice ringing out as if in command. "Be quiet, for God's sake, unless you want to ruin yourself! Be- : fore Heaven, I have not told her a word—not a word!" (To Be Continued.) GEX.

FROCK OF PLAID IN MISSES SIZE For Smart Spring Wear, Two of More Materials Will Bo Combined By MAY~MANTON £826 With Basting Line and Added Seam Allowance ) One-Piece Dress for Misses and Small W omen, 16 and 18 years. Here is one of the prettiest, smartest frocks that could be offered. It combines i plaid taffeta with the new crepe gabar dine and it is most charming both in ma terial and treatment as well as in its lines and cut. It is simple too and easy to make, especially so because of the seam allowance and basting line included in the pattern. The skirt is a simple one, , gathered at the upper edge, but the trim ming portion that is applied over it gives it an entirely novel effect. The blouse too is p.ain with the trimming arranged over the lower edge, but as a matter of course, if a simpler dress is wanted, these trim ming portions can be omitted and the plain blouse and skirt only used. No i more fashionable combination of materials ! than these could be suggested, but there are of course many others that arc equally good. Plain silk could be combined with striped or plaid or taffeta could be com bined with velvet or plain serge with plaid. For the 16 year size will be needed, 6 yds. of material 27 in. wide, yds. 36, 4 yds. 44, with 2% yds- 36 or 44 in. wide for the trimming portions. The pattern No. 8826 is cut in sizes for 16 and 18 years. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.

For mer President AV. 11. Taft, now a' professor of law at Yale, yesterday j practically announced his elimination from politics, and his determination never again to seek public office, when ! he said, in his rooms at the Bellevue- Stratford Hotel: — "I am now in a respectable profes- , sion. 1 hope to live and die a profes sor." This is as near as the former Presi | dent ever has come to an announce ; ment that he was through with ail participation in practical politics. Mr. Taft came here to address the members of the Uw Academy of Philadelphia at the hotel last night. He had been asked what he thought of the chances of Theodore Roosevelt to obtain the Republican Presidential nomination and of the effect on the anteconvention campaign of Justice Hughes' positive refusal to allow his name to be used in connection with | the nomination. "I am hermetically sealed," he re plied to both questions. Won't Comment on Brantleis Then he was asked to comment upon President Wilson's appointment i of L.ouis D. Brandeis to the supreme 1 court bench. "Excuse me." he said, dramatically waving his hands and smiling with the old Taft smile upon those sur rounding him. "Some of your friends." he was told ! "in press dispatches a tew days ago, i said you ought to be sent to -Chicago las a delegate to the Republican con vention so that you could work in the interests of men of the type you would like to see become the party's standard-bearer." "What have they against me." he j asked laughingly, "that they should i wish me trouble?" Then, in a more j serious tone, he added: "The people are not herding for | any one man. No one man is indis- I peiisabie lo the country at the pres ent time." Use New Searchlight in Submarine Operation To assist battleships and destroyers in locating submerged mines, an Am erican has developed an under-sea searchlight equipment which, when used in conjunction with a special ' water glass, makes it possible to dis ! tinguish objects at a distance of 2,- 000 feet. A powerful electric lamp is mounted on one side of a vessel be low the water line, at its bow. This may be turned to different, angles by an operator on deck. Immediately forward of this is the glass, similar to a modified periscope, forming the | ship's under-sea eye and used to fol low the illuminated path. When a mine is located in a vessel's course, a ! torpedo is launched which may be ; discharged electrically. This is watched and at the proper instant dc i toned. thus exploding the mine. It is believed that the device could also be used on mine sweepers lo advant age. From the February Popular ' Mechanics Magazine. CIVIC CLUB MEETING Special to the Telegraph Marysville, Pa., Feb. 11. On Monday evening the Civic Club will hold its regular monthly meeting when officers will be elected and im portant business transacted. IMPORTANT NOTICE Careful investigation made by the Laundry men's National Association of America, both among the selling agents of dye stuffs and the manufacturers of wash goods, shows that there is a shortage of permanent dyestuffs almost amount ing to a famine, and that industries depending upon fast colors are in many cases closed down. €| That the better quality of shirtings now being worn, are per haps in most cases, fast colors, but that this condition cannot possibly continue for any great length of time. That the wash goods in which the colors are most question able at the present time are: Red Tablecloths and Nap kins and Towels with Red Borders; Blacks in Cotton Ginghams which are apt to wash lighter and in some cases "crock" when the damp goods are folded. Black Stockings will probably "bleed" and turn lighter. Light Goods with Blue, Red or Black Trimmings are apt to cause trouble. C| Some makers of wash goods are already notifying their pa trons that they cannot guarantee the permanency of colors. <1 Under these circumstances, and for the further reasons that there is no known method whereby fugitive colors can be washed so that they will not run and no way of knowing whether colors will run or not, except by washing, we beg to notify our patrons that while we use every care in the handling of colored goods, we cannot be responsible when these goods fade, as some of them surely will. <1 In view of the situation we strongly urge our customers to use as much white goods as possible until such time as the permanent dyes will again be available.
