In a little factory town, one of 0 or
70 girls In one of the many thousands
of factories. Among- the millions of
humble workers who earn their breud

than she.
Grace Brown died. The world that
cared nothing about her living became
concerned In her death, or rather in the
manner of it. Had she died from what
the law la nleased to cull naturaPcauses
the world would have been as Indiffer
ent to her dying as it was to her living.
But she was believed to hnve been mur
dered; wherefore, the world took cog
nisance of it.
Newspapers of large circulation nave
found that murder has commercial
value when exnloited at news. These
printed much about h death of the
young girL. The law and the reporters,
moving swiftly, had disclosed to the
world that Grace Brown had a sweet
heart a man with little green eyes
