all trace of her had been lost. On
account of the disappearance of
Jennie Brice being published
shortly after that, she and her
mother had driven to Thornville,
but the station agent there was
surly as we'll as stupid. They had
learned nothing about the woman.
Since that time, three men had
made inquiries about the woman
in question. One had pointed
Vandyke beard; the second, from
the description, fancied must

Well, In spite of all that, there

out each day in buggy.
On Monday afternoon. March
the fifth, a woman had alighted
at the station from a train, and
had taken luncheon at the hotel.
She told the clerk she was on the
road, selling corsets, and was
much disappointed to find no
store of any size In the town. The
woman, who had registered as
Mrs. Jane Bellows. said she was
tired and would like to rest for
day or two on a farm. She was
told to see Eliza Shaeffer at the
postoffice, and, as a result, drove
out with her to the farm after
the last mail came in that even
ing.
Asked to describe her-she was
over medium height, light-haired,
quick in her movements, and
wore a black and white striped
dress with a red collar, and a
hat to match. She carried a
small brown valise that Miss
Sheaffer presumed contained her
samples.
Mrs. Schaeffer had made her
welcome, although they did not
usually take boarders until June.
She had not eaten much supper,
and that night she had asked for
pen and ink. and had written a
letter. The letter was not mailed
until Wednesday. All of Tuesday
Mrs. Bellows had spent In her
room, and Mrs. Schaeffer had
driven to the village in the after
noon with word that she had been
crying all day, and bought some
headache medicine for her.
On Wednesday morning, how
ever, she had appeared at break
fast, eaten heartily, and had asked
Miss Shaeffer to take her letter
to the postoffice. 1t was address,

went home, about half past eight,
the woman was gone. She had

believe that the Ladley case was
unusual in several ways. Mr.. Lad
ley had once been well known in
New York among the people who
frequent the theaters, and Jennie
Brice was even better known. A
good many lawyers, I believe, said
that the police had not leg to
stand on, and know the case was
watched with much interest by
the legal profession. People wrote
letters to the newspapers, pro-
testing against Mr.. Ladley being
held. And | believe that the dis
trict attorney, in taking him be-
fore the grand jury, hardly hoped
to make a case.
But he did, to his own surprise,
I fancy, and the trial was set fol-
May. But in the meantime many
curious things happened.
In the first place, the week
following Mr.. Ladley's arrest my
house was filled up with eight or
ten members of a company from
the Gaiety theater, very cheerful
and jolly, and well behaved. Three
men, think, and the rest girls.
One of the men was named Bel
lows, John Bellows, and it turned
out that he had known Jennie
Brice very well.
From the moment he learned
that, Mr.. Holcombe hardly left
him. He walked to the theatel
with him and waited to walk
home again. He took him out tC
restaurants and for long street
car rides In the mornings, and or

EXPERIMENT WITH
VERTICAL FIRING

London, Oct. 1t is believed
among the troops that bullets fired
vertically upwards at aircraft never
descend as bullets, the intense and
prolonged friction of their flight to
the limit Of the trajectory and the
subsequent descent of what is left Of
them completely dissipating them into
vapor. Thousands of bullets have re-
Gently been fired at aircraft, but none
has been positively known to descend.
Until the advent of aircraft just
what happened to the bullets when
fired perpendicularly into the air was
a matter of purely academic interest;
it has now become question of vital
practical Importance.
Very few ballistic Investigators
have ever troubled to experiment with
vertically fired bullets. The first
man to do so was Benjamin Robins,
the Father of the Modern Art of
Germany" who in a book published in
1742, placed on record his experience
in this direction with a smooth bore.
AS matter of fact, Robins did not
fire truly vertically possibly because
he was afraid that the returning bull
lets might cause him considerable per-
sonal inconvenience. Instead, he fired
at an eagle somewhat out of the per-
