10 WOMEN'S INTERESTS I THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER LII Copyright. 1916. Star Company. Anemia and nerve exhaustion. Dr. Horton and the consultant he sum moned called the Illness that held Myra Webb prostrated and silent for weeks. "You and Oraee have not appre ciated all that she has had to bear dur ing the two years in which you have been struggling to regain a foothold In the business world," he told Horace Webb one day. A fortnight dragged Itself away be fore he told Horace and Orace an other truth, couched in the facile phrase that declares, so often menda ciously, that ' while there is life there Is hope." The husband's face was like a piece of marble, but the muscles of the jaws • witched and qvivered. The daughter, young and therefore less self-con trolled, spoke cut the thought that rushed up from her heart. "Worth while' Oh, doctor, she must have known what she is to us! She must have known." The physician wheeled on her sud denly, his Indignation and sense of jus tice overcoming his discretion. "Did either of you tell her often how much she was to you?" he de manded. He was a brave man or he would not have asked this question in the presence of Horace Webb. Yet it was characteristic of the husband at his best that he did not resent the home thrust. The Doctor's Ultimatum When the attendant had followed him into the hall he added sig nificantly: "Let them bo with her as much as they wish. It can hardly be for long now. And yet." with a shake of the head, "she might live if she could only i be roused enough to make an effort, j But it can't be done." As pitiless with himself as he would | have been with another man, Horace went over every step of the past years. ' Self-repression had been his fetich. He had served It and bowed before it; he had tried to make his wife do the same. And he had killed her—that Is what he had done —he and the daugh- j ter whom he had trained to be like himself. He had let the woman he loved work ! herself to death; when encouragement and tenderness might have made the I work easy he had withheld them. Grace in Tears Oh. if he had only let her see his I emotion, had only told her that but for her he would never have succeeded, that but for her A sound from where Grace sat at the other side of the bed startled him. Grace crying! He had not seen her shed a tear in ten years! Rising, he went around to her. In the dusk she raised her face toward him and pressed his band gently over ner hair. "I can't spate her! I can't spare her!" Grace moaned. "She has always understood me. has loved me better than I have loved myself. She has ! comforted me in my troubles, has re- \ joiced in my happiness. I have never told her this— because T ddin't like to say such things. And now it's too i late!" 1 M —ll - Kl-1 Kr-" »—f w—xxag" 1 1 * »• 111 Your Summers Go Better I ■ thanks to the soda fountain—soda fountains 1 ■ are better, thanks to I J '—the drink that made the soda fountain a national ! t j Institution.

The woman on the bed opened her eyes wide. Was that Horace speak ing? "I was proud of my damnable self repression." he went on. "1 never told her that she had saved me. God help me—l was not worth it!" A thin hand stole feebly and tremblingly across the bed and touched his hair. He started and grasped it. "She's awake!" he whispered to the I girl. Then he sprang to his feet and bent over the bed as Grace, with un steady fingers, lighted the shaded i night lamp. "Myra, darling!" he murmured, i "Darling!" the wife echoed weak :ly and so low that he scarcely heard j the word. The dark eyes on the pillow gazed up Into his, as If their owner were looking Into the heaven to which she had come so ■ near instead of into the face of a mere man. "Is It all true?" she \ whispered. "True?" he repeated, bewildered. The Savins ord "All?"—she breathed—"that you just said?" I "True!" he exclaimed. "As true as God's love and my own unworthl I "And you think lam going to die?" A whimsical smile touched her blood | less lips as she glanced from her hus [band to the daughter who had sunk on | her knees by the bedside. "You think I am going to die?" Horace Webb's only answer was a smothered sob. "But," the faint voice went on, the smile now creeping up to 'the sunken eyes. "I am going to get well! I have so much to live for that I just can't die!" Grace Webb was married in June. During the following summer she and Dayton, with her father and mother, took a motor trip into the Catskllls. A week after their return to New York Dr. Horton ran in to see Mvra Webb. "I declare!" he exclaimed, "you look as young as your daughter! That illness you had made you over— and yet I thought you'd not pull through It. "I suppose," with a smile, "that you got well Just to make us happy." She laughed as merrily as a girl. "I got well because I wanted to!" she told him. "I had been tired, that was all, and then all at once I got rested. "I think," suddenly growing grave, "that one sometimes must go I to the very gate of death before she learns how much worth living life can be." "Perhaps so! Perhaps so!" Dr. Horton muttered. Yet he looked puzzled as he went on his way. It is to be doubted if he, a doctor of the body, really un derstood. THE END BATTERIES WILL FOLLOW 2d BRIGADE [CpiiUnued From Hint I'aire] ; Senate from Allegheny county, had as-ked a second examination. Major-General Clement to-day set tled all doubt that he and his staff would accompany the Pennsylvania troops to the border. He said the National Guard of Pennsylvania has been called into the field as a division, and Intimated that he and headquar ters staff might receive orders to pro ceed to El Paso before all the com mands had been entrained. Artillery Batteries Next Brigadier-General O'Neill, com mander of the Fourth Brigade, com prised of the Fourth, Sixth and Eighth infantry regiments is disap pointed because the artillery batteries will be shipped away as soon as the remaining units of the Second Brigade are off. The Fourth originally was scheduled to follow the Second Bri gade. The Sixth Infantry includes four companies of Philadelphia Infantry. The Sixteenth Regiment is slated to break camp and move late this after noon and the Eighteenth to-morrow. The Tenth regiment left last night be tween 10 and 11 o'clock, with 1338 men and officers. Each of the three Western Penn sylvania Regiments In the Second Brigade, commanded by General Logan is recruited above the 1300 mark. The Second Brigade commands are working like beavers to entrain promptly and eclipse the record of the First Brigade in entraining. With their transport wagons Issued In knock-down form and not wishing to set them up, each of the regiments is confronted with the task of carrying Its equipment to the trains, which are parked on sidings about a quarter mile from camp. Regiment a Day Following a visit of Adjutant-Gen eral Thomas J. Stewart to camp yes terday, the work of entraining the troops is to be speeded, and the schedule calls for a regiment a day. The troops are expected to leave in this order: Eighteenth, Sixteenth, artillery; Sixth, Fourth, Eighth and cavalry. Field hospital No. 1, and Ambulance Corps No. 1 of Pittsburgh will accompany probably the last in fantry regiment to leave. General Stewart said the Ninth Regiment, of Wilkes-Barre, and the Thirteenth, of Scranton, comprising the Third Brigade, which were not called out by Secretary of War Baker, may be ordered to a summer encamp ment at Tobytmnna. There is a report that six batteries of the artillery regiment will not be kept intact at the border, but will be scattered and assigned with regular army batteries In order to give the Pennsylvania artillerymen more ex perience and at the same time keep them under the eye of army men. In this event Colonel McKee and his staff will not have active command over the batteries. Battery C, of Phoentxvllle, which last evening took its physical test, had twenty-two men rejected. F. M. Roberts, assistant to E. G. Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel Company, yesterday visited Bat tery A, recruited employes of the com pany. Charles M. Schwab, who pre sented forty-two horses to the battery, Mr. Roberts said, expects to visit the Bethlehem boys before they leave. The First Battalion of the Sixth Regiment, comprising Companies A, of Pottstown; D, of Phoenlxvllle; F, of Norristown, and G, of Doylestown, were examined last night. Company F lost fifteen men. Captain Moseley in Camp Captain George Van Horn Moseley, Second United States Cavalry, who was assigned by the United States Army general staff to be chief of staff of the national guard, arrived last night and was on dutj to-day. Cap tain Moseley will rank as colonel and will be no observance of the day. Captain J. S. Fair, Fourth Infantry, a native of Altoonn and a graduate of Gettysburg College, is assigned as as sistant chief of staff. Captain Kemper to Be Promoted Captain Janus B. Kemper, the senior j mustering officer, detailed here by the War Department, it Is reported, will receive a commission as lieutenant colonel of the Eighth Infantry, where there is a vacancy. Movement of troops will proceed to morrow. the Fourth of July, the same as on other davs. and the medical ex amination and muster of organizations of the artillery regiment and of the Fourth Brigade will go over. There will be on observance of the day. In all probability the organizations leaving hereafter will take ten days' travel rations instead of five In order to provide against any delays. The regiments which have left up to this time have l ad five days' rations. These officers have been assigned to the chief medical examiner at the camp and at the conclusion of their duty here will rejoin their organ izations: Major J. F. Edwards, Sec ond Brigade; Captain S. H. Heller, Fourth Regiment, and Major W. C. Hogan, Sixteenth Regiment. State health inspectors continued their inspections of the camp, the sur rounding country and the railroads to- ! day. Major W. D. Crookston, the | chief sanitary inspector, made a tour I of the camp to see that the sanitary orders were not being violated on the eve of entralnments. Members of the First City Troop, First Cavalry, were awaiting to-day the scouting aeroplane and machine gun which has been presented to them. Carloads of equipment, uniforms, rifles, tents and other material, are > pouring Into the camp and the last [ regiments to go, those of the Fourth Brigade, will have the advantage of these late receipts. In the event of: division headquarters leaving before ' the Fourth Brigade, the command of the camp would devolve upon General O'Neill. The Sixteenth Infantry was mus tered Into the Federal service with 1,123 men. 51 officers, 4 medical offi- ! cers and 19 hospitAl attendants. An offer of an aeroplane to Bat tery D, of Williamsport. is reported to have been made by citizens of that place. Two Young Men and Woman Killed in Crash Philadelphia.

Seitz has won his contention that the Adams Kx press company and other associations of a like character are liable for a i city tax upon their real estate and I horses. In its decision promulgated | j last Saturday the Supreme Court unanimously sustained Judge Kunkel l in upholding the contention of the City Solicitor. More than five years ago City Solic itor Seitz raised the question and the matter was taken up with the late ; Lyman D. Gilbert and other counsel j for the Adams Express Company. It j was held on behalf of the company ; that inasmuch as it was assessed on 1 its capital stock and otherwise by the State it was not liable for local tax. When the case went before the Dau phin County court, counsel for the Company vigorously resisted the con tention of City Solicitor Seitz. but President Judge Kunkel handed down an opinion in favor of the city. Im- ; mediately the company appealed to the Superior Court, where the case was again vigorously fought by the company. The intermediate court al so decided in favor.of the city. Judges Head and Kephart dissenting. Then : followed the appeal to the Supreme I Court, the case being argued last May. | The opinion which was handed j down on Saturday sustains Junde Kunkel and the entire contention of City Solicitor Seitz. This means that t the courts have finally settled the ! question of local taxation of public utility corporations and also means j that the courts will not extend the ex- 1 emption beyond such organizations i as have been duly chartered by the 1 Commonwealth and which corpora- j tions cannot perform their public J functions without receiving a public j grant from the State. The Adams Express Company is a ; joint stock association under the laws j of New York. The decision means that the company will be compelled to pay a local tax on its real estate and horses all over Pennsylvania and the aggregate tax mill will mean a large sum. City Solicitor Selt z naturally feels some gratification in the final ap proval of his contention by the sever al courts.
