WOMEN'S INTERESTS
WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE
BY Virginia Terhune Van de Water

agreed with him that perhaps it did
At first she had hesitated to admit
this. Was she trying. gossips won-
dered, to fix the crime upon some
one outside the house, thus attempt
ing to shield some member of the
Reeves household?
1t was said that no further inves-
tigation would be made until the
dead mans wife was able to give
testimony. But IL was suspected
that detectives were stationed in
Milton and that the police had some
persons and places under strict sur
veillance.
DR.. Monroe, the village physician
Hardy, knew that Jane Reeves
hands had been stained with blood
when he first saw her in the gray
dawn of that Spring morning. The
sleeves, too, of her wrapper had
splashes of blood on the edges.
known Jane from babyhood and was
fond of her.
He would not let himeslf think
that she had been driven to a horri-
BILE crime. She was not capable of
such a thing. There was some hid
eous mystery here. He would hold
his tongue until more was revealed.
His conscience did not hurt him for
doing this. A country physician
learns to maintain silence about
many things.
The Funeral Goes On
Meanwhile the young wife tossed
to and fro on her bed - the little
white bed that had been hers in
girlhood - in the room in which she
had lain so often and dreamed her
dreams of love and happiness. She
did not know where she was, but
babbled foolishly of silly things OF.
when her fever ran highest, called
aloud that something was following
her. close upon her.
The trained nurse from Pattonville
listened pityingly to the agonized
means for help, to the monotonous
counting of footsteps or of the tick
ing of an imaginary clock-some-
times it was one, sometimes the
other "One, two - one, two" the
girl would whisper.
Again and again the nurse re-
solved that, no matter what hap
pened, she would never repeat GER
tain sentences uttered by her deliri-
Gus patient.
Day after day passed. Augustus
Reeves lawyer came from Patton
vile and made all the funeral ar
rangements after the coroner had
fulfilled his duties.
The farmers body was laid beside
that of his first wife in the little
cemetery back of the church. The
curious crowd that followed it to its
last resting place wondered morbid
ly whether the girl whom he had
married less than a half year ago
would soon he laid here, too. Well,
she had paid dearly for her ambi-
ticn to become rich! And she had
always been so sweet and simple
before her marriage!
Ruth Crosby sobbed convulsively
as she tried to speak of the tragedy.
Poor Jane! She had not been happy
Ruth was sure of this now. The
resentment she had felt toward the
young wife was forgotten in this
new horror.
For, it was whispered in the VIII
Iage. If Jane Reeves should live, she
would be arrested for the staying
of her husband.

CHAPTER LR

Copyright, 1916, Star Coz
The village of Milton had sensa-
tion compared with which all other
sensations it had ever experienced
faded into insignificance.
Augustus Reeves, wealthy farmer
and resident. had been found dead
in his bed. with his throat cut from
ear to ear.
peared in hordes. Here was some
thing that promises to make a
thrilling mystery story.
The facts were sinister and in
some respects, battling. Augustus
Reeves housekeeper had been
awakened about o'clock in the
morning by hearing a door open
ing fiercely at the. time, she thought
little of it.
Then, as some other noise (she
did not know what it was, but
thought it sounded like a groan)
came to her ears, she was startled
and, springing up, dressed hastily
and went to the room in which Mr..
She found their door wide open, al
though she had heard Mr.. Reeves
shut it at bedtime.
She called. received no reply and
went into the room. The light she
carried showed her the body of her
employer. the throat horribly
gashed. She screamed and ran into
the adjoining room where Mrs.
Reeves had gone to sleep that
night, but the bed was empty.
Downstairs she found the front
door open. She was sure that the
wife had arisen on hearing the
same sound that had awakened her,
4 . L. IL,
into the large room to ascertain
who the intruder was, and that the
sight that met her eyes there must
have rcraZed her, for she evidently
rushed from the house with no COW
ering except a wrapper thrown
over her nightdress.
Mrs. Baird had run out to the
barn where the n-of-all-
slept, reused him and told him the
shocking news. Unwilling to re-
turn to the house alone, she
waited in the barn while Jake hur-
ried off to the neighbors to ask for
assistance and to send someone to
seek for his distraught mistress.
Jane Is DeIirious
The wife was found at her
fathers house, where she had ar
rived in a state of exhaustion, faint
ing as she reached her old home.
She had not recovered consciousness
but had been in a delirious condition
ever since then. The village ply
sician said that she had brain fever,
brought on by nervous strain and
shock.
The weapon with which the crime
had been committed was found at
the side of the murdered mans bed.
Tt was a long carving knife. 1t had
probably been taken from the kitch-
en- by the murderer on his way up
stairs, If his object had been rob-
berry he was frightened away; for
the few .banknotes that the wealthy
farmer had in the pockets of his
clothes, amounting to less than
twenty dollars. remained untouched.
and his watch and chain were found
under his pillow, where he had
placed them on retiring.
Thus the city newspapers alleged.
In Milton itself excitement ran high.
The inquest and the examination of
Mrs. Baird and Jake Titus (the
housekeeper and the man of all
work. brought to light no new
facts, except that Jake was sure the
knife belonged in the kitchen OF Mr..
Reeves house, and Mary Baird

Wonders of plant and animal
life. which commercialism ignores
III preparing the denatuFcd food
stuffs that IL now sends to market.
In the bodies of animals and plants
the twelve food minerals are built up
into many highly complex com
binations and as they are being built
up they are also being broken down.
In disease they break down faster
than in health. .'
As the tissue is destroyed by daily
wear and tear IL is transformed into
simpler chemical compounds and
passed out of the body. In order that
down cells 1t must find a constant new
supply of the elements from which
those cells are evolved.
These elements, as we find them in
the soil, can be called non-living mat
ter. The chemical processes which
transform this non-living matter into
living tissues are the same in plant
and animal as we have seen with this
one difference.
Plants are capable of taking the
non-living matter from the earth and
compromising 1t or organizing 1t into
the wonderfully complex substances
which form their structure. We have
Hii Sdhy SScH instances OF IHlS.
Animals do not possess this power.
Animals depend for their existence
upon foodstuffs prepared from the
non-livinS matter of earth by the
plants that have the power to pre-
pare them. Otherwise man could eat
earth, stone, or clay and thus obtain
all the elements necessary to his
existence. We have seen why he can
not do this.
Plants obtain the energy which en-
ables them to perform their myster-
iouS work of organizing the on-living
matter of earth from the sunlight
and only in the presence of sunlight
can they carry on the upbuilding pro-
cesses which give them their tissues
dark.
We know that under the influence
or sunlight plants are capable of COM
Dining the carbonic gas and nitrogen
of The air with water and the mineral
salts OF the soil into such substances
as starch, fat, and albumen. They
always do this in the presence of the
food minerals.
Their ability to bring about these
changes depends upon the presence OF
a chemical substance which is found
in their green part and is called
chlorophyl. We know that chlorophyl
requires exposure to the suns rays in
oTuer lnat II may De able TO perform
its serious work, but of the processes
by which it does that work we know
little.
We know that various parts of the
plant and various organs of the body
contain substances that can be ex-
tracted. These substances are called
engines or ferments or vitamines.
Some of them are pepsin, trypsin, PITY
alin. There are many others which
need not be mentioned here.
These ferments and vitamines are
found in the grains, in the marrow
of bones, in egg yolk, and other foods
and are just as indispensable to the
health of the body as the food miner
ais.
We now know positively that in
the human body they serve the pur-
pose of assisting to form the various
foodstuffs which are furnished to the
animal by the plant into substances
that can be absorbed and built up into
animal tissues.
Ordinary bakers yeast is a ferment
having the power to transform starch
and sugar into alcohol and carbonic
gas. 1t possesses the power to rear

Failure to Absorb Flesh Making Mater
ials in Daily Meals Keeps Weight
Down. How to Make the Food



Most thin people eat from four to six
pounds of good solid fat-making food
every day and still do not increase In
weight one ounce, while on the other
hand many of the plump. chunky folks
eat very lightly and keep gaining all
the time 1t seems all bosh to say that
this is the nature of the Individual. It
isn't Natures way at all. ..
Most thin people stay thin because
their powers of assimilation are defec-
tive: They absorb just enough of the
food they eat to maintain life and a
semblance of health and strength.
Stuffing won't help them. A dozen
meals a day won't make them gain a
single "staythere" pound. A great part
of the fat-producing elements of their
food just stay there in the intestines
until they pass from the body as waste.
What such people seemingly need is
some thing that viii so act upon
these fatty food elements that their
blood can absorb them and deposit them
all about the body-some thing too. that
will multiply their red blood corpuscles
and increase their blood's carrying
power.

liable druggists almost everywhere

DELAY GENERAL STRIKE

Union Leaders in New York Expect

Thursday.

NEW YORK, September 18.-There
will be no sympathetic strike of labor
unions to aid the striking street rail-
way employees until Thursday at least.

pIoyes. the longshoremen's union, the
stationary engineers and firemen's
union and the state federation of labor.
the latter appearing for number OF
labor organizations whose trades con-
meet with the operation of the traction
system.
The leaders told the mayor that the
various organizations they represented
were determined to strike until the
municipal authorities took some action
to compel the traction heads to observe
their recent agreements with the rail-
way employees and that they had come
to him as the last resort. The mayor
promised to make another effort to
adjust the differences and said he hoped
to give them an answer by Thursday.
The labor leaders promised that mean
time no general strike would be called
The mayor announced that he would
ask Public Service Commissioner
Strauss to join him in his final effort
to effect settlement.
O'Connor Given Full Authority.
The longshoremen have conferred
| upon Mr.. OConnor the authority to call
strike If, in his judgment, it is
deemed advisable. Mr.. O'Connor said
no decision would be reached before
Thursday. No date has been set for the
strike of the 5000 members of.the tide
| water boatmen's union, who have voted
| to go out. Leaders of these unions de-
| MED that the proposed strikes are
| merely sympathetic and say they are
| intended to benefit their own members.
William D. Fitzgerald. organizer for the
street railway men. says the strike has
| cost the transit companies $1,052,0 and
| that 1t is costing the public 100000 a
day. bringing the total up to s7,2o0.0oo.
| The New York Railways Company an

| Repeated attacks from roof tops we're
