OF INTEREST TO
WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
▼ CHATTER 1-1.
(Copyright, 1916, Star Co.)
As Mary flung lier warning at her
employer he recoiled, then recover
ed himself.
"That's another lie!" he exclaim
ed.
"It's not a lie!" Jane spoke now
for the first time. She had a de
tached feeling as if she were a
part of a play and her turn had
come to speak. "She has told me
nothing not a thing except that
she has had bad news, that some
one is very ill and that she must
go to this person. But I mean that
she shall tell me, you or she, for
1 here's something I ought to know,
and that I mean to know."
"It's nothing, Jane," Reeves de
clared with an effort to assume his
old manner. "Nothing, that is, that
you ought to hear. This woman
I've tried to help her and this Is
the thanks I get. What she might
tell you is something that, no de
cent woman would want to know."
A smothered exclamation from
Mary drew Jane's glance to the
woman's faoe. The expression she
saw there shocked and almost fas
cinated her.
The black eyes were fixed on
Augustus Reeves with an intensity
of hatred like that seen in a wild
beast about to spring at an enemy;
the thin lips were curled back from
the white and regular teeth. And
as Reeves met this gaze the color
left his leathery cheeks.
Augustus Backs Down
"Well, well," lie said trying to
speak easily, although his voice
was unsteady, "I guess there's been
a great deal of fuss about a little
matter. Perhaps I was a bit too
hasty. Never you mind, Jane," pat
ting her on the shoulder and emit
ting a shaky laugh, "we'll fix it up
ell right Mary and me. I'll talk
1 o her won't I, Mary? and I'll
try to fix things up some way or
other. If she wants to go away
why she can if you don't mind
doing her work, Jane?"
Slowly th e gleam of hatred died
from the black eyes. It was as if a
cloth had been passed over the
Tndian-like face, wiping from it all
traces of emotion. Silently, Mary
Baird turned from the husband and
■wife and went, downstairs.
"I'll be down in a moment find
talk about your Retting off, Mary,"
Reeves called after her. "If you
have a friend that's sick, you oan
go and see her, of course. You
ought to know anyway tlipt I'd let
you."
Jane walked into the front, room
and shut the door. She knew that
her husband was puzzled by her de
meanor. Perhaps she was puzzled
by it herself. The only thing she
was sure of was that there was a
mystery here a mystery thai
Augustus was now trying to make
light of. But she had seen him off
his Kuard, and things would never
he the same a^ain.
She had practised deception late
ly l.v, Jane told herself. Xow she was
determined that, if necessary, she
would practice it again to discover
what secret lay back of the scene
she had Just witnessed.
She had no tenable theories as
she sat alone in her room after
Reeves had gone downstairs. She
still suspected that Mary's husband
was living and that he was the per
son who was ill. But, if so, why
should August be afraid that

MONDAY EVENING,
Mary would toll liis wife of this
man's existence? Jane recalled how
he had warned her not to let Mary
talk freely to her. Why not?
And how had, he dared say the
things he had just said to this wo
man if she was as decent as she
had always seemed to be? If she
wero not a Rood woman, surely
Augustus Reeves would not have
had her here as his first wife's
companion and helper, then as
housekeeper, and now as the only
woman in the house with his young
wife. He would not have done that!
No —things would never be. th<
same again now that her suspicions
were aroused. She would fight fire
with her. Her husband was deceiv
ing lier about something. She would
find out what it was, even though
the only way to do this was to de
ceive him in turn.
"Jane," Augustus Reeves called
from downstairs, "I've told Mary to
get. ready for the next train. Jake
will drive her to the station in a
few minutes. You'd better come
down and see about putting din
ner on.
The play was moving on and she
must take her part. lier head was
so clear and her determination so
strong that it hardly seemed as if
there was anything on hand that
might involve her seriously. All
she could feel at the present mo
ment was that she must know the
truth. It could not hurt her she
reflected. Everything in her that
could be hurt had been hurt by
this man to whom she was married.
Now she did not care. Even her
parents misunderstood her; her girl
friends were alienated from her. As
for love that was not for her. Once
she had .been sure it was.
•jane Feels the Strain
By the time she had thought as
far as this, she was down in the
kitchen and her husband was ex
plaining to her that if Mary took
the noon train she would be able to
get back to-night.
The wife was glad that he was
talking to her, for if she listened
to him she might be able to turn
her mind from the subject at which
it had arrived just now. For an in
stant, she had recalled, with a throb
of the heart, the love she had
known. And as that was past and
dead, she wanted to forget it.
Mary had slipped from the kitchen
and upstairs to prepare for her
journey before Jane spoke. '
"Dinner is ready, Augustus." she
said then quietly. "Shall I serve
it nojv?" '
She was conscious that, her hus
band regarded her anxiously and
that his manner was conciliatory.
What was he afraid of that made
him so desirous to please her?
"Let me help you," he urged. "It's
too bad to put this work on you.
But." dropping his voice confiden
tially, "Mary has a cousin a wo
man that she's helped - and who
isn't the best, kind in the world.
She's sick and Mary wants to make
sure she's getting good care. So I
just told her I'd give her the fare
to town and back. You see, Jane,"
with a little deprecatory laugh
"even if I am a bit quick-tempered
at times, I am kind to anyone in
my employ, after all."
The wife, listening, could not re
ply, for she knew that her husband
was speaking and living a false
hood.

My dear girl, there are plenty of good

You must do one of two things. Either 1

will make him realize once and for all
that your relations with him are purely
impersonal and of a business nature :
only. Possibly you are unnecessarily j
suspicious. Have a plain talk with \
your employer—a man to man business
talk in which there is no element of
coquetry. Be honest with yourself and
make sure you are doing nothing to en
courage the very thing of which you
complain.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
DEFENSE MEASURE I
WILL BE PUSHED
Not More Than Two Weeks to
Whip Bill Inlo
Shape
Washington, D. C.. Feb. 14. —j
Real progress is expected to be made
In Congress this week on national de-jj
fense legislation. The Military Affa'irs ;
Committees of the Senate and House
have closed their public hearings and ;
will get down to work on drafting a
bill. Just when the bill will be intro--
duced is uncertain though both Sena
tor Chamberlain and Chairman Hay,
of the two committees confidently be
lieve that with the almost unanimous !
sentiment for adequate defense not |
more than ten days or two weeks at
the most will be required to whip the
proposed legislation into shape.
The bills, once introduced, are ex- j
pected to pass both branches in record
time. Prior to the resignation of Sec- j
retary of War Lindiey M. Garrison, I
when there existed much uncertainty i
as to what preparedness legislation |
would be enacted, the antiprepared-j
ness element in Congress led by j
friends of William J. Bryan threaten- |
ed to erect barriers that would have l
caused trouble to the administration. |
Break In Camp of A litis
Following Mr. Garrison's retirement 1
there has been a break in the anti- j
preparedness camp and members of!
the type of Warren Worth Bailey, of
Johnstown, Pa., have not been nearly |
so active. Mr. Bailey and his as- |
sociates say they have not given up !
the fight, but are waiting the ap
pearance of Mr. Bryan on the stump |
to espouse their cause. Mr. Bryan is i
scheduled to begin this week a series |
of speeches in opposition to President i
Wilson on the defense issue.
Saturday saw the first real break in
the antidefense forces, which is con- \
fined to the Democratic party. Rep-1
-resentative Qulnn, of Mississippi,,
changed his mind, and in a House
speech announced his conversion to
the cause of preparedness. Prevously
he had been strong for the Bryan
peace-at-any-prlce propaganda.
Despite the changed attitude of
many Democrats there still is a lack
of leadership in the House. Repre
sentative Kitchin, of North Carolina,
the recognized leader of the majority,
continues to hold aloof and refused to
move his support to the President's i
program. If a program exists. Just!
now the leadership is distributed j
among three or four Democrats, each I
one attempting to bring order out of !
chaos, but none making much head- j
way.
No Democratic leadership
The President and his advisers ap
-1 predate the lack of leadership and
realize that the only generalship dis
played to date has come from Rep
; resentative Mann, leader of the Re- I
publican minority. Speaker Clark the j
' past week left the presiding officer's '
i chair long enough to make a speech !
in an effort to rally the disorganized
: Democrats, but got nowhere.
Speaker Clark issued a statement (
j to-day characterizing as nonsense talk !
of ousting Representative Kitchin!
I from the House majority leadership
because of his opposition to the pre
! paredness program and other admlnis-!
tratlon plans. He said he expected to
leave the Speaker's chair whenever he
felt it necessary to oppose or support
any measure, but would do so with
out any intent to supplant Represen
tative Kitchin or any other commit
tee chairman or leader.
Five Experts Give Their
Views on Militia Plan
Ex-Socrctary of War Eliliu Hoot.—
An effective army must be built up
on the principle of national" control.
This can never be attained by develop
ing l'orty-eight different bodies under
officers appointed by forty-eight dif
ferent Governors, and up to the time
of war. under the direction of forty
bight different commanders in chief.
Urig.-Gen. A. Ti. Mills, Cliief of flic
Division of Military Affairs, on the de
fects of the National Guard.—A cer
tain degree of inefficiency in meth
ods of administration and training:
lack of uniform and efficient standard
of physical examination; low attend
ance at assemblies for drill instruc
tion; lack of co-operalion between the
States; lack of uniformity in the
military codes of the several States,
no two of which are alike, and lack of
care of Federal property. '
Major-<«en. I.eonanl Wood. The
militia has done all men and officers
can do under a rotten system. I- am
not criticising them at all. The militia
has 130.000 officers and men enrolled,
but when I say they can turn out 60,-
000 inen in fairly good condition, I
think I have stated the limit. You
might turn out more, but they would
be untrained and of little value.
Ex-Secretary of War Henry L.
Stimson. Under the Federal Con
stitution, the National Guard is
primarily a State force instead of a
national reserve, and I do not believe
that any effective national citizens'
army can be created out of a force
dominated by forty-eight sovereign
ties. History and statistics show this
beyond peradventure.
Ex-Secretary of War Ltndley M.
Garrison. Under such a system
(militia) mobilization for war will
again be attended with confusion, de
lay and embarrassments, and cam
paigns will probably be attended with
disaster.

IMPORTANT
I NOTICE ~
v /
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
zing 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.
.
C| 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.
<J Some makers of wash goods are'already notifying their pa
trons that they cannot guarantee the permanency of colors.
<S 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.

MACHINISTS ARE
GIVEN WARNINGS
Commissioner Jackson Shows
How the Accident Rate May
Be Kept Down in State
Pennsylvania machinists can mate
rially cut down the million dollars
lost In wages through accidents last
year if they will observe some simple
rules, declared Dr. John Price Jack
son, State Commissioner of Labor and
Industry, in commenting to-day on
warnings being issued to machinists,
which trade is being "speeded up"
because of war orders. The Depart
ment has been issuing from time to
time warnings for different trades,
having covered printing, milling,
lumbering, paint and lead making and
the like.
"Compressed air apparatus is use
ful. but dangerous, and three deaths
resulted in Pennsylvania from men;
'fooling' with air hose," said the com- j
missioner. "No one should be allow
ed to point at or touch another em- '
ploye with it. Defective -wrenches i
and torn and ragged clothing have
been found to be causes of accidents 1
and one reprehensible thing is allow
ing tools or materials to lie on floors
or passageways. Tripping over such
things has resulted in many serious
accidents."
The warning to machinists is based
upon over a year's observation in ma
chine shops, many of which are run
ning day and night throughout the
State and most of which have taken 1
on many new hands in the last six
months. The results of the observa
tions were checked up •with studies
