8 OF INTEREST T WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CH.IPTKR Mil. (Copyright, 1916. Star Co.> During the hour and a half that Augustus Reeves remained alone in j the quiet diningroom he was neither resting: nor sleeping. He was think ing deeply and planning his course I of action. For the time for action of some j decisive kind had come. He had never imagined that Mary Baird. j heretofore submissive to his will, j could become the creature into | which she had developed since his [ marriage, less than live months ago. He had known that she resented this marriage. He was even pre pared for her veiled resentment against his wife. But he had been sure that if he kept her in her j proper place she would get over her disappointment and chagrin. That she should so far overcome her aiiger and prejudice as to be on friendly terms with his wife had not | entered into his calculations. Cer- j tainlv that a crisis would develop 1 which would imperil his reputation in the eyes of his wife, perhaps in j Hie estimation of the entire neigh-, borhood, was unbelievable. Yet such a crisis had seemed Im minent to-day. For a few fearful moments he had actually thought that Mary had told Jane facts that he and the housekeeper alone knew. If she had done this he would have been ruined. He had been a fool to submit gfo Mary Baird's demands as long as he had done. He would not now withdraw the sum of money he paid her each month a sum that she j straightway sent to a certain pri \ate institution for feeble-minded children. But she must be made 10 understand that in paying her j this monthly stipend he discharged every obligation due her, and that were she ever to betray his secret or even threaten to do so, this al lowance would be stopped once and lor oil 1 line. Ho recalled a clause in his will made at the time of his second marriage in which he had men tioned a certain sum for his "faith ful and industrious housekeeper." With this she would be able lor years to come to pay for the maintainence of her child—and she ought to be smart enough to get regular work to support herself. Thus had he argued. He Reuii'nilx'rs llis Will Now he remembered this clause, of which he had told Mary when he drew up his will. But he re-: membered it as another threat which he could hold over her. First of all. he must have a plain talk with her. This had not been practicable for a long time. Pres ent circumstances demanded that he have it immediately. Mary must i understand her position and his; intentions before she had an op portunity to create another scene like the one he had broken in upon ; 'his morning. He must seal iter lips definitely. If he could not do ; this by reason and argument, lie would do it by frightening her. There was ojily one way to hurt her. That was by threatening to cut off her present and future in- I come. She did not care what be-; came of herself if she could pay out | each month the sum demanded by | There is Only One "Bronto To Get The GENUINE, Oall For The Full Name Laxative Brom Used The World Over to Cure a Gold In One Day Whenever you feel a cold coming on think of the full name LAXATIVE M BROMO QUININE.

Ho felt that In doing this he had shown her kind ness beyond her deserts. He flattered himself that he had arranged matters cleverly in get i ting Jane out of the way for the evening. When Mary arrived from j the train his wife would have been asleep for an hour. This was the time for the necessary talk with ; his housekeeper. He would inti i midate her and put her back on her j old terms of servility to him. Of late she had behaved as if he were no longer her master. It was to Jane that she turned for orders. This was not safe and it must stop. He had told Mary before his mar riage that if she did not behave her self she must leave his house, and he meant it. He knew that she would not go as long as she could draw her monthly salary for her child. He sprang to his feet and listened. Yes there was the sound of car -1 riage wheels at the back of the house. He opened the door. "Mary," he said, in guarded tones, , "come in softly. I don't want Mrs. Reeves disturbed." Then, as Jake, having helped Mary alight, drove oft' to the barn, Reeves added: "Wait for me in the diningroom. I want to talk to you. I'm going ; upstairs for a minute tlrst." Jane, sitting up in bed, heard the stealthy footsteps on the stairs, and sank hack upon Iter pillows, closing her eyes and breathing • regularly. Her husband paused in the door of the room, but she did not stir, lie Takes Precautions "Jane!" It was scarcely more: than a whisper, but she heard it j distinctly. He wanted to make sure if she were really sleeping. He j came into the room and stopped as if to listen to her breathing. A moment later she heard his foot fall once more on the stairs. He had returned to the diningroom. Mary had thrown off her hat and cloak and was waiting for him, standing in the middle of the room. Her face was strained and anxious. "Well?" he asked as he shut the door behind him. "How is every j thing?" She took a rapid step toward him. "Oh, Augustus! He is fearfully ill! It's brain trouble, and they've been afraid of convulsions. This after noon he's better. But"— laying her hand on his arm, "there's some thing wonderful I have to tell you. He can be cured!" "Cured? Well, what of that? l| did not suppose he was dying!" he; said, gruffly. "Oh. I don't mean cured of this! sickness he has now but"— her I voice caught in a strangled gasp "listen! The great surgeon from Germany that has done so many wonderful operations on the head you've read about him in the paper, I I guess well, he's been out there, and he's seen him and he says he'd be bright and well if it wasn't for a pressure on his brain. "An operation would cure him —j cure him, mind you! so that he'd be like other children sensible and all right! Oil, Augustus, Augustus!! For God's sake give me the money for the operation for God's sakj i Augustus!" (To Be Continued.)

Awake Nights. HEALED BY CUTICURA SOAP AND OINTMENT "Sly little girl's trouble began by her head coming out in small water blisters, and when they would burst, wherever the water would touch, it would form a sore part and there would soon be a scale on It, and so on until the whole head was a terrible sight. My little boy was affected with the trouble and in a few days was broken out all over his body. My daughter was annoyed very much and my littlo boy was continually scratching. They had the trouble a month and it was very bad, itching and burning and they both lay awake nights.

The force of every city de partment had to be instantly ex panded—and the money ran out. When the smoke had cleared away— literally and figuratively—the city commission sat down and faced the future. Thousands of things had to be done. Many things that had been done had not yet been paid for. Look ing ahead only a year the commission realized it would have to have about one-third more money than it had spent in the preceding year. For a reform administration that had ridden into office on a pledge of economy, this was unfortunate. One of the principal arguments when the reformers plead with the people to vote for commission governmept was that it would be cheaper than the old sys tem. One of the principal criticisms of the commission by the old faction was that the new plan cost the city more. Retrenchment and reform had been promised, but now the commis sion could not retrench. With a ma licious grin and a vengeful eye, the enemy was watching to see what would happen in this crisis in the life of the commission, ready at a minute's notice to take advantage of the slight est slip. The city commission could get the money it needed in only one way— by taxation. So it proceeded to tax. Nobody has yet invented any system of government that will put a "smile on the face of a man when he walks into the city treasurer's office to pay his taxes. He just naturally hates it. Whether the taxes are lit le or big, the man rich or poor, makes no difference. Add to this universal truth the fact that In Salem the tax payer's house, or his factory or his store had just been burned over his head, and that the city was now tle ma,nding that he pay a larger tax on that identical property, and you get some faint conception of the feeling in Salem. The taxpayers got mad, not wholly of their own accord, however. The men who had always opposed the com mission idea were charged with fo menting the dissatisfaction. Here was their opportunity to discredit the commission. They blamed "the form of government. and the commission, instead of the Are, for the increase in taxes. In three years a thousand vot ers signed a petition for a change from the commission plan back to the old system. Friends of the commis sion were fighting, too, and trying to explain that it was the peculiar situa tion of the town, and not the form of government, that was to blame. That criticism and opposition were widespread is indicated by the peti tion of 1,000 voters. Such a peti tion could not be obtained in such a short time unless feeling was running high and wide. When the contest was at its height the commission brought more condem nation down on its head by the asses sors' untactful handling of complaints of property owners about their assess ments. The opponents of the commis sion system succeeded in having a referendum election called for last November, for settlement of the con troversy at the polls, and they de feated commission government by the scant majority of 450 in a total of about 10,000 votes. Four forms of government were of fered at the referendum: The exist ing, commission form; the 1 commis sion-city manager form; a mayor with a council elected at tirge, and a mayor with part of the council elect ed at large and part from the wards. The last form was adopted. Under it, Salem now has, instead of a commis sion of five, a mayor elected at large, five aldermen elected at large and six aldermen elected one from each of six wards. Under the commission plan, all heads were appointed by the com sion. Under the new plan, heads of departments are appointed by the mayor, but must be confirmed by the council. Removals can only be made by a majority of the council, on rec ommendation of the mayor. The theory of centralized authority and responsibility is discarded. Instead, the business of the town is conducted by the mayor and five aldermen ans werable to the whole city and six al dermen answerable to their own wards. The old "city hall gang" at Salem is happy and (he reformers are in the dolidrums, a situation just opposite that of three years ago. 'On the oth er lmnd, tho reformers are now the attacking party and the city hall crowd are on tho defensive. Criti cism of city government will come from the camp that spent three years defending city government, ami from them, also, at the earliest possible mo- ment, will come an effort to "redeem" Salem, as they term it, from the iso- , lated distinction of being the only backslider in the commission gov-1 ernment family.

Charges Wilson With Steadily Violating the Constitution of U. S. Special to the Telegraph Philadelphia, Feb. 17. Charging specifically that President Wilson's handling of the foreign affairs of the United States has been a "steady and contemptuous violation of the Const - tution of the country," James M. i-c< • \. former Assistant United States Attor ney General, launched one of the i i<>*t sensational and telling attacks that been made on the Democratic aUiiiiin.-- tration at a reception held last nim . . i his honor in the Union lyeague. In the presence of hundreds of this city s prominent financial, profession 11 and commercial men, lie tore apart, the. flimsy excuses and weak arguments that have been put forward by support ers of the President in defense of his attitude toward all the nations now en gaged in the world war. Speaking on "The Foreign Relations of the United States," Mr. Beck de clared that from the enviable position ot the best liked country on the globe, the United States had become the most hated and despised during the three years in which Woodrow Wilson lias been at the head of its affairs. More than a mere political attack on aU rival party was Mr. Black's address. Ttather it was a masterful summarizing of the weakness or a national adminis tration whose head had. as he explain ed, deliberately defied both houses of Congress and the sacred Constitution that lias made possible the lons and glorious history of the American Re public.
