NINE KILLED IN VIOLENCE TOLL OVERWEEK-END Two Anderson Men Take Poison to End Lives; ' Youth Fatally Shot. \ Violent death was the fate of nine persons in Indiana over the week-end. Traffic accidents ended lives of three, one near Indianapolis. Two Anderson men committed suicide by poisoning. The victims are Captain Goruley, 40. and Edward Beeman. 37. No motive has been disclosed in either case. John Hanes, proprietor of a roadhouse east of Ft. Wayne, is dead from the effects of being wounded by bandits Jan. 28. A bullet which lodged near his spine had never been removed, and Sunday while driving his car, Hanes became paralyzed and died shortly afterward. John Burse, 16, Jeffersonville, is dead of a bullet wound and Edward Branham, 18, who is said to have been handling a revolver when it was discharged, is in custody. Branham declared to police that Burse shot himself, but other witnesses of the tragedy said Branham was holding the weapon. Arthur G. Knight, 19, riding a motorcycle on a trip to the Posey County courthouse at Mt. Vernon to obtain a marriage license, was killed when the cycle and an automobile' collided. Andrew Solus, Chicago, was killed at Hammond when struck by a New York Central train. Ray Stilson, Portland, committed suicide by drowning in Indian Lake near Bellefontaine, Ohio. He was a disabled veteran of the World War. Ernest Kruckeberg, 47, Adams County farmer, suffered fatal injuries when kicked by a horse.

THIS HAS HAPPENED VIRGINIA BREWSTER, upon losing both father and wealth, consents to make her home with CLARISSA DEAN and her father. Her fiance, NATHANIEL DANN, objects to this for he mistrusts DEAN'S motives. DEAN plots to get NIEL away from VIRGINIA but fails. CLARISSA becomes jealous of VIRGINIA. and the latter resolves to leave but DEAN insists that she marrv him. When she refuses, he threatens to reveal that her father cheated him out of SIOO,OOO. Recklessly, she promises to earn enough in one vear to repay him or marry him if she fails. VIRGINIA realizes her plight when she discovers her bank balance is overdrawn. and she has to pawn a ring before finding a reasonable, hotel in which to live. She goes to NIEL’S studio to tell him of her break with the DEANS, but she dare not reveal her compact with DEAN. Neat day VIRGINIA seeks advice from a broker friend as to how to make the hundred thousand. Then she invites his secretary to lunch and asks her how to find a business position. She applies for a position at an agency. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORT VIRGINIA awoke the next morning after a restfl sleep following a perfect evening with Nathaniel. It wasn't quite perfect of course for there was always the shadow of Frederick Dean’s monstrous bargain hanging over her.* But she felt that she had turned the first stone that would build her bridge to freedom, and Niel was in one of his most charming moods. There was no effort on this part to persuade her to do anything against her wishes. Marriage was not even mentioned. They were as two companions delightfully in love with each other and making the most of each passing hour without clouding it by trying to insure future happiness. For a moment Virginia lay yawning drowisly and half consciously waiting for the entrance of her maid to tell her the bath was prepared. Then her eye caught a glimpse of the sheet she had tossed away from her silk-clad body and she sat up, wide awake in an instant. The sight of the machine-hem-med cotton affair in place of the handworked linen sheets she was accustomed to was a sufficient reminder of the change that had come to her to dispel her dreamy illusion. “Well, I suppose I might as well get up,” she sighed. “Certainly no one’s going to fix my tub today. I wonder if the water’s still rusty.’* It was, and again Virginia was compelled to limit her bathing operations to the waterglass exercises, as she called her improvished shower. She had scarcely finished drying herself when her telephone summoned her to answer a call from Mrs. Phelps. “I’ve a place I think you could fill,’’ she told Virginia pleasantly. “Can you come in the morning?” “Certainly, Mrs. Phelps. What hour, please?” “Ten-thirty.” “I’ll be there promptly. Thank you very much.” Virginia slipped the receiver on the hook and then flung her towel on the bed with a carefree gesture. “Maybe no one would believe it but I think I’m thrilled,” she decided and then, catching sight of her unclad body in the dresser mirror, laughed aloud. “Virginia Brewster, what if this were a television telephone! Mrs. Phelps would never send a skinny like you out to work!” She grabbed up the bathrobe she hadn’t stopped to put on to answer the ringing of the telephone and threw it round her shoulders. At 10:30 sharp she was telling Miss Laidstone she had an appointment with Mrs. Phelps. “Ah, good morning,” the latter greeted her presently. “You are really in earnest, aren’t you?” Virginia was taken by surprise. “In earnest?” she repeated wonderingly. “Why, of course I am. It is necessary for me to earn a living, Mrs. Phelps,” she added gravely. That lady smiled. “Indeed?” she asked mysteriously. “I had thought you might have been acting on impulse yesterday. To be frank,-1 really did not expect you to respond to a call for your services, Miss Brewster.” Virginia gasped audibly. “How did you get my name?” she inquired when she had recovered her composure. “Why, my dear, I recognized you at once but I did not say so because I wanted to find out, if I could, why you were masquerading under the name of Viola Browne.” She looked at Virginia rather hard as she finished speaking and the latter felt a touch of discomfort. ‘ “Because I do not wish to use a name that has no connection with my present circumstances,” she de-

Elderly Man Freed From Rheumatism Bloating and stomach pains were also relieved. Tells how. Elderly people whose lives are burdened by rheumatism, back-ache, or stomach distress, will read with interest a letter recently received from P. L. Pratt, 72 years of age, 621 Whitman St., Rockford, 111. He writes: “I was hopelessly sick for five long years with stomach trouble and rheumatism. The rheumatism in my shoulder gave me intense pain. Wheneverl ate anything, gas would form, accompanied by Severe intestinal cramps. Dizziness would attack me so frequently that work became almost impossible. I was weak and tired all the time, rolled and tossed all night, and got up more tired than when I went to bed. Recently I started taking Viuna. Already my rheumatism is gone and the dizzy spells have entirely ceased. The gas trouble is nearly gone and my stomach pains have stopped. I am eating well as I could ten years ago. It seems hard to belie- ’e, but it is true, every word of it. Viuna acta promptly bn alngglkh jewels, lazy liver and weak kidneys.

dared a bit belligerently. “The Virginia Brewster who was so well known chat everyone seems to recognise her does not exist any longer. It is Viola Browne who wishes a position if you don’t mind.” Mrs. Phelps motioned to a chair. "Do sit down,” she said courteously. Then, “It does not matter to me what name you choose to assume so long as I know your real name. You see, I must protect my clients,” she explained smilingly. “Well, now that you know who I am, shall you accept my application?” Virginia wanted to know. “Certainly, my dear. But you can readily understand that you will run the same risk of being discovered that you ran with me if I should send you to anyone who is familiar with the names in the Social Register.” “I suppose that's true,” Virginia admitted. “Occasionally, however, I have a client who is not interested in.society. One came to me late yesterday afternoon, and while I cannot say that I think the position is ideal for you, Miss Brewster, it does offer the advantage of almost certain protection for your name. The point is, just v.hat is your need for employment?” “It's immediate.” Virginia revealed unhesitatingly. “I’m not acting on impulse, Mrs. Phelps, and if you think I could fill this place I'd like to try.” “I am sure you could give satisfaction, else I would not have called you,” Mrs. Phelps assured her. “But in view of your inexperience and your background I believe you should wait until I’ve told you more about these people before you decide to accept the position.” “Well, if they aren’t utterly impossible. ” “Naturally I cannot determine that. People do not put their worst foot forward when they come to .see me, either seeking to obtain or give employment.” “That could hardly be expected.” “The name is Gernsner, and I’ve every reason to believe it has been changed from Gernschimal.” “That’s one good thing to begin with,” Virginia laughed. “At least they’re considerate of other people’s jawbones.” “I have met only Mrs. Gernsner,” Mrs. Phelps went on. “She seems pleasant enough but not well educated. And there are children.” “What in the world does she want a companion for?” Virginia marveled. “To escape from the children, perhaps. But seriously I believe your duties would be to accompany her on shopping trips 'and to arrange her social functions, write her letters and, in general, to acquaint her with some of the refinements of living.” “Are they newly rich?” Virginia inquired doubtfully. “Very.” “But if she is not interested in society, as you say, what her social affairs be?” “It is only my opinion, but I should say she will want to play the grand dame among her acquaintances. There will never be any occasion, I am sure, for you to come in contact with your former friends through her.” “That's an inducement,” Virginia considered. > “The salary is excellent. They will be generous, I believe, but of course it is doubtful if you will find their company endurable.” “Well, I can’t tell until I try it. Where do they live?”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“On Riverside Drive.” “Would I be given any time of my own?” “Two evenings a week, Sundays and one weekday afternoon. It’s quite fair.” Virginia thought she could hardly imagine herself not at liberty to go and come as she liked, but beggars cannot be choosers, she reminded herself sharply. “I’ll take it.” she said firmly. “It will not be permanent until after two weeks’ trial,” Mrs., Phelps informed her. • “Shall I have Miss Laidstone telephone to ask when Mrs. Gernsner will see you?” “If you will.” Virginia was told to come up right away. After a few minutes more with Mrs. Phelps, during which she received some helpful hints, she took a cab to the towering apartment building that sheltered the Gernsner family. She had given the address to the driver before she realized that, she could have taken a bus and saved some money. “I’ll have to be more careful,” she admonished herself impatiently, not knowing that one no more learns to be poor in a day than to be rich. She was admitted to the private foyer by a butler in a magnificent uniform. Virginia stared at him in amazement before she remembered that such startling sights were probably to be expected in this family. Above his crimson coat the man’s dark, mustached face beamed, and he returned her stare with interest. “What’s your name?” he asked, not at all impersonally. Virginia told him and when he had gone to announce her she surveyed the foyer in which she had been left to wait with amused engagement. Mahogany coat racks, hung with a miscellany of other garments of various sizes, stood in a row against one wall, partly hiding a highlycolored lithograph from sight. Virginia felt it no loss. There was a Spanish chest and a Henplewhite chair beside it; an Italian refectory table and a big Chinese vase placed squarely in the center if it. “They must have used a rules,” Virginia reflected in wonder at the precision with which everything seemed to stand in the direct center of something else. “Madam Gernsner will see you in the parlor,” the butler came to tell her shortly. “Follow me," he added grandly, and led the way to a door at the end of the foyer. For the life of her Virginia could not avoid smiling at his gorgeous comic-opera back. He opened the door —and walked through it! Inside he held it open for Virginia to enter. “Miss Viola Browne,” he shouted as she came in, and Virginia all but jumped. “Now, now, PSetro, don’t I tell you

you should not shout the names?” a shrill voice scolded from a corner of the very dim room. A second later the same voice said coaxingly, “Come in Miss Browne; you should come right in.” For a moment Virginia hesitated. “Go on in, don't let her get your goat,” the astonishing butler whispered to her.
