OF INTEREST T WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER IvVIII | (Copyright, lfl6, Star Co.) "One, two!" The clock down in the lower hall was striking two, and. Jane Reeves had not slept. She sighed and turned wearily upon ,her pillow. How still everything was—and yet there were noises that had kept her awake. Could she -have imagined some of them.

After this she might feel drowsy, he dreaded lifting her head and |d sitting up here In this yet noisy darkness, v the wind howled, and how 'windows rattled!
