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!

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.
