OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water

an effort. "It is kind of you to bring
this up, Mary" she said.
I'm sorry you're sick" Mary re-
Joined. II guess you had bad night,
didn't you? Did any noises disturb
you?"
Jane did not look up. She felt the
black eyes fixed upon her and she
dreaded the suspicion that she fancied
cleaned fro1n them.
"Oh, when l once get to sleep
nothing disturbs me,' she evaded
And you must have come in very
softly"
"I did"
That was all, except that the wo-
man stood watching her employer S
wife. James hand shook so that the
cup she held ratified against her teeth
as she drained the contents. She
laughed apologetically.
ITS funny" she said with an effort
to speak as if amused, Ito see the way
my hand shakes"
mo, it's not funny" Mary contra
dicted, still in that dull tone, IT'S
natural"
Did She Suspect?
What did she suspect? How much
did this weird being know of what
was in the mind of the other? Jane
forced herself to glace at Mary. but
she could not see the keen eyes, for
to the light AS she moved the candle
fame cast huge and fantastic shadows
of her on the wall.
I'm coming down to supper Jane
announced impulsively, sitting up on
the side of the bed. She was all at
once afraid of this little room with
the shadows in it. She was still more
afraid of the big room beyond INTO
whose dark depths she could now
look.
Mary picked up the tray from the
table by the bed and started for the
door. Here she stopped.
"All right" she said, ''if you think
it's going to be any easier for you
down there than up here - in the
dark-why, come on down. Shall L
leave the candlc?"
"Oh, yes, please do" Jane replied
quickly. I'm tired of being up here,
she added by way of explanation. .
As soon as she was alone she lighted
the lamp. She also shut the door OF
communication with the other room.
She found it hard to unbutton her
wrapper and hook her dress, for her
hands trembled all the time.
When at last she was dressed she
set her teeth and opened the door
into the large chamber She was
afraid to go across that dark space
without a light of some kind. She
did not put out the lamp, but left
it burning on the bureau. Then.
picking up the candle, she hurried
through the big bedroom, staring
timidly at the gloom all about her
a wavering gloom that seemed to
threaten her.
She remembered that when she
had come here to live she had Won
dered if the first Mrs. Reeves had
died in this room and if her ghost
might ever visit the place.
But tonight it was not the first
Mrs. Reeves ghost that Jane was
afraid of.

Gerry's cablegram to his mother was
forwarded to Red Hill on the very day
that the judge had gone to tell them
that no trace could be found of the
missing man. The Judge was more
down-hearted than ever over Gerry's
disappearance and when he found the
two women radiatlng happiness and
excitement his heart sank lower still
II haven't any good news" he said
ruetully before he alighted.
"Tease him." said Alix in a low
tone to Mrs. Lansing
But Mrs. Lansing had found new
lines in the judges tired face and she
whispered back. 81 can't" She put the
cablegram in the judges hand
whats this?" he said and read it.
Then he gave a war-whoop. caught
AliX around the waist and kissed her.
The Firs were gay that night-gay
with the joy of happy people happily
planning. In month. say at the most,
two months, Gerry could be here.
Spring would have come. The Hill
would be decked out in full regalia of
leaf and blossom. 1t would be in full
commission to meet him. They looked
at Alix and Alix seemed to look at
herself. He would come into his own
as never before.
The judge undertook the cabling.
He cabled Gerry and the message was
reported undelivered. Then he cabled
the American consul. There followed
long series OF messages; first quick
aud hopeful, then tagging but not
doubtful, then wearying silence Of
weeks, ending with the inevitable
blow. Gerry had been traced to the
San Francisco river. The envoy sent
on his track by the judges orders
had reached Piranhas to find the little
town in apathetic wonder over the dis
covery of Gerry's canoe stranded three
miles down the river. The paddle was
still in the canoe and a suit OF pyja-
mas. No further trace of Gerry had
been found. His body had not been re-
covered. The people said it vas not
unusual. He had undoubtedly been at
tackled by tiger fish. In that case his
bones would have been stripped of
flesh. 1t was impossible to drag the
great river.
The judge hid in his heart the har-
rowing details. To Mrs. Lansing he
told the central fact. she was struck
dumb with grief and then she thought
of Alix. Almost hastily they decided
that it was not time to tell Alix and
during long months they put her of
with false news of the search. They
carried 1t farther and farther into the
wilds of the subcontinent. The coun-
try was so vast, there was no telling
when the messenger would finally
come up with Gerry.
Alix bore the strain with wonder
full patience. The truth was that her
thoughts were not on Gerry. Some
thing greater than Gerry was claiming
all her faith-all her strength OF body
and soul. She did not talk. She was
holding that final communion with her
innermost self with which a woman
dedicates her body to pain and sacri-
flee. Allx was not afraid. In those
days the spirit of the race-her race
of pioneers-shone from her steady
eyes and even put courage in those
about her.
Only when the ordeal was over aud

fell. Jane had remained upstairs all
day. She had not gone regularly to

covered herself warmly Her head
ached too severely for her to read,
and her nervousness would not al

drearily away, yet she dreaded the
approach of night.
At the noon dinner hour her hus-

She told him she did not, and that
rest and quiet would be the best
things for her.

caught cold you'd be hoarse, it seems
to me-"
Perhaps I would" she acknow]-
edged, but I think I'll be all right
by evening"
She was not all right by evening.
This morning she had longed to be
alone; now, as the shadows settled
in the corners OF her room, she had
a strange shrinking from solitude.
She was frightened - unspeakably
frightened. If she could only sleep
and forget the horror that had
claimed her for its own!
She wondered if this was the way
people felt when they were going
crazy What was that awful con-
versation she had heard last night? :?
oh, yes-it had been about a poor
little child.
Then. feverishly, she would strive
to forget the sentences she had just
recalled. over and over again she
would so through the mental process
until her brain seemed on fire.
She realized that for some nights
she had not slept for more than two
or three hours and that last night she
had not once lost consciousness. No
wonder she felt unlike herself.
Fear Enters In
And now she began to be afraid of
herself. She started convulsively at

large bedroom. The only entrance to
this small room was through the bed

Come in" She hoped she spoke
naturally.
The door was opened slowly. and
in the dim light Jane discerned Mary,
bearing a small tray.
i've brought you a cup of tea"
the woman said in dull monotone.
Somehow it made the listener feel
that the speaker had been drugged
or self-hypnotized into a numbed con-
dition. And yet-there was a pecu-
liar sound to the voice that alarmed
the young wife. 1t was as if there
was a menace lurking somewhere
menace held in check by this strange
creature standing before her.
Lets have some light, please"
Jane suggested. sitting up.
Mary proceeded to light the candle
on the bureau.

planned briefly you'd better try to

Years Found in Indiana
Special to the Telegraph

Columbia, Pa, Feb. 2S. .- Michael
Melbert, of New Castle, Ind, is here
visiting his brother, Peter Melbert,
and sister, Mrs. Mary Schickling.
The latter is critically i'll, and it was
on that account that Mr.. Melbert
came East. Thirty-seven years ago,
Mr.. Melbert left these parts for the
West, and having lost track of the
members of his family supposed them
all dead. Last Sunday, Mrs. James X.
Swartz, at whose home Mr.. Melbert' s
sister lives, sent a telegram to New
Castle, having acted on suggestion
made by her mother, who was in a
delirium, that her brother was still
alive and living in Indiana. After
considerable difficulty, the supposed
address was obtained and in response
TO the message. the brother appeared.
Mr.. Melbert is a prosperous retired
farmer and is 73 years old.

WHY women
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia L. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" care they truthful 2"
"Why do women write such letters 1"
In answer we say that never have we
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. Is that Lydia E. Pink
ham Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some of
the worst forms Of female ills, from dis
placements, inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
1t is impossible for any woman who
is we'll and who &SSNS~N
