JEALOUSY REVEALED lanes 2Q

Even Jordan Spence's great skill could not rouse Chrys from her stupor. It was as if the facts of her life were uncomfortable, as if she de- sired to sleep in order to escape them She hypnotized herself,
 I envied her this abnormality. There was so little in my own life that I cared to face.
 Bob and I remained in his fathers house all week. Chrys' nurses were splendid, but we agreed that she ly, and should that happen, it was important that she find some familiar face near.
 So I took the night watch. Bob was busy with his fathers affairs and with Morrison who believed he had found a clew to the gems. l saw little of my husband except at the table where the conversation was limUed to our late adventure, to 'clews." and to Chrys' condition.
 Katherine Miller had gone home the day after the discovery and the loss of the royal rings and things. More than once I let myself think that she might know something about the inside job but I realized that I was almost willfully unjust.
 The tawny- haired beauty was never out of my mind. As I sat by Chrys' bed, my thoughts went round and round the facts which connected Bob and Katherine.
 At no angle did I find them toler- able. But I did not refer to them when Bob and I met.
 Spence proposed hypnosis to raise Chrys from her trance but post poned the execution of his plan from day to day. Since ChIys was not suffering from her long slumber, he her own mystery.
 This decision being announced. Bob came to me with:
 Jane, let's go home tonight"
 "I am not-going back-to your home!"
 You're not-you're not-I don't understand you, Jane." Bob came toward me but I raised forbidding palm
 You never try to understand me. '' I replied. You take a great deal of pains to understand a woman with red hairi"

 Because I know your advanced theory about freedom for husbands and wives-about the right of a man to be human and to have his frank, honest friendships with women as with men, Well, you've been frank enough with Katherine. no doubt, but you haven't been honest with me. Thus I lashed my husband and scourged myself And according to your precious selfish theory, haven't any right to be bitter. Bob, you ve made your choice.

FIVE POINTS THEATRE ORCHESTRA A ONE OF THE BEST

One of the reasons for the quick popularity of the Five Points theatre is the wonderful Million Dollar Or chestra" that plays there in accom- paniment to the pictures shown.
 ''The Million Dollar Orchestra" Is made up of some of the most dis tinguished musicians in the city. some with years of popularity in mu- sical circles. In other words, says the theatre management, the orches- tra, while possibly tho newest in l;ir- mingham, is composed Of musicians of established reputation.
 The leader isN Mrs. Ike Marks tRe- gina Heinberg), who has lived in Bir- mingham most of her life. Mrs. Marks needs no introduction to the musical public. Aside from her tai ent as a violinist, she has made pie ture playing a study and her train- ing in this line Is responsible for the fact that with every scene of q picture shown the music of her or chestra Is beautifully suited.

 held in New York month ago. There were present about 20 men, in- cluding representatives of the manu- facturers, of the iron and steel in- dustry, of the lumber industry, the coal industry, agricultural and other callings The meeting was one Of big affairs, an specialists in their re- spective industries, and 1t lasted from early forenoon till o'clock at night.
 Strict Secrecy imposed
 The utmost precautions were taken to avoid publicity. Strict secrecy was imposed on every one present. Even the officials of the government most intimately concerned with the subject were not informed of the gathering. The executives associa- tion was not told of 1t. Few car riers were taken, at first, into the confidence of the executive commit- tee. Newspaper publicity at that time, 1t was thought, would wreck the plan, cause buelnvss men gem orally to hesitate about placing or ders, wait for the new rates and generally slow down.
 When that meeting ended. the man ufacturers and other shippers had sold their big Idea and the executive committee of the carriers was pledged to go back to their organiza- ton and recommend a rate reduc- ton.
 But selling a rate to three men and selling 1t to several hundred are two different propositions. The big idea had to be sold to the bigger number. During the month which has passed since the meeting. the executive committee has been sell n They have been generally success ful-notably in the case Of the Penn cylvania afsd the New York Central systems-and the ma1opity of the carriers today are ready to take the plunge and make a bet on prosperity
 That, in effect is what the roads are preparing to do--bet on the, re- turn of prosperity with the return of lower rates. They want to get those hundreds of thousands of idle cars to work. They want to see freight flowing over the rails as it used to flow. They are about to take down. the bars in the belief that it will cause a general and imme diate revival of industry in which they themselves will share.
 The procedure will be for the indi- vidual roads to file lower tariffs with the interstate commerce com mission and ask that they be put into effect as soon as possible. possibly in five days from the time of filing The public may look for such tariffs soon.
 And, as a corollary, the public may also look or an attempt by the roads to reduce wages still further. What that may develop Is yet in the mak- ing, bat what 1t does develop will be aside from the determinatio- to reduce rates, unless there is an over. night change of heart on the part of the executives.

 executives whose meeting here marked the culminatton of two months Of quiet, patient and tedious work by their executive committee, looking to a nation wide voluntary. freight rate reduction During ali that time, no inkling of what the roads had in mind had reached the general public But the foundatio has been lah, the cut has been rec commended and the reduction is com ing. Some time within the next 30 days the carriers probably will begin to file their new tariffs, putting the lowered rates into effect.
 Why Cut To Be Made
 The lower rates are coming be- 1 cause the carriers have grown to realize that something drastic was needed to put back into service moro than 35O,O00 idle freight cars ac- cumulating rust on sidings or await ing repairs in shops. They are com ing because the big shippers of the country have convinced the roads. too, that the present rates are more than the traffic will bear. Another reason why they are coming Is that the present rates hamper the farmer and other classes of producers might fly in competing in world markets. A fourth reason is that eventually the lower rates will mean greatly in- creased traffic and larger total reve- nues.
 Now it can be told, the story of how the move for lower rates start ed, progressed and led to the deter mination of the executive commit tee of the association of railroad ex- ecutives to commend a cut.
 About two months ago a group of manufacturers concluded that one of the things fundamentally out of pro- portion in this day of industrial re- adjustment was the freight rate. Everything else, with q few eXcep- tions, had come down, but freight rates were still stuck up to war time heights. If the freight rates were lowered, those manufacturers concluded, business generally would respond with an immediate pickup, and in the course of short time the carriers themselves would share in the general prosperity through the greatly increased volume of traffic,
 Executives Convinced
 The first move was to convince the railroad executives. The manufac- turers, through their national trade association. placed the case before the executive committee of the rail- way executives. That committee is composed of Vice President Alter bury of the Pennsylvania and Messrs. Storey and Elliott of the Santa Fe and northern Pacific, respectively. After the usual prelfminaries and ex' change of views the committee finally was induced to attend con- ference with shippers and to listen to the proposal.
 Accordingly, the manufacturers
