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

MONDAY EVENING,
The man dropped on his knees
by the bed and put his arm around
his daughter.
"Little girl," he said. "I know!
She Is my life."
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.

SEITZ WINS BIG
TAX VICTORY
Sustaining of Kunkel Ends
Long Fight by Adams
Express Co.
City Solicitor Daniel S. 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.
