" When a Girl Marries"
By AXi' JJSLE
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problems of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER LXll t
At the sound of Jim's voice I
Terry took Anthony Norreys by the |
shoulders ant fairly shoved him
out of the hail door. Tlien he put
his lingers to his lips to impose
silence and hurried with me to help
Jim into the room.
My boy had slipped into his gray
lounging robo and was hobbling
painfully out of the bedroom with
the aid of a cane. 1 wondered how
much he had heard of Terry's whis
pered scheme to aid him. But Terry
didn't stop at mere wondering. He
took the bull by the horns and pro
ceeded to find out. As soon as we'd
established Jim on the big couch,
Terry plunged into an explanation:
"1 stayed for a chat with the
Missis, Jimniie and a tine little
chat We had. Was it loneliness or i

My Stomach Was Bad;
Had Pains Around Heart
says Mr. E. Cans. 100 Liberty street,
Harridburg. "My stomach was very I
bad. I would bloat with gas and the
pressure would cause pains aroundj
my heart: had sharp knife-like pains j
under my ribs and under my shoul- i
dor blade. I think it was my liver, j
had gripping pain in stomach after j
, eating.
"My head and throat were full of !
catarrh and I was always liawkina. :
1 would get a swimming in my head I
and a dizziness, and felt feverish. I j
heard of Sanpan and gave it a trial |
and all the above conditions are'
gone and I am full of ambition."
Sanpan is being introduced at Kel
ler's Drug Store, 405 Market street,
Harrisburg.

t jealousy that brought you out so
suddenly?"
"Terry, you rogue—l'd misdoubt
the tine boy's heart and the square
soldierly honesty of you us soon as
I would the love and loyalty of my
Lilac girl here —and that's never!"
declared Jim with a smile that was
all tender sweetness and had no
undercurrent of meaning.
Rut it hurt —it hurt cruelly.
With a suggestion intended chief
ly for me. Terry replied gravely be
fore he rushed out to join Nor
reys: .
"You.'re right, lad; next to your
little lady and our Betty there's no
one wishes you better than Terry-
Winston, as I hope you'll always
understand,"
Then he ran out, banging the
door briskly—to relievo his feel
| ings no doubt—and Jim. gazing at
I the sfcot where his friend had
stood stanch and firm in the door
way, made a queer comment:
" 'Our Betty.' he said. Did you
I hear him, Anne? T think he wishes
often that lie might say 'my Betty.'
I And which of the two is worse
haunted by the ghost of Atherton
j Bryee. I often wonder. And I won
der still more if poor Atherton was
worth the sacrifice of two lives?"
As he spoke I perched myself
precariously on the edge of Jim s
I couch. My boy slid his arm from
! under the cover I had thrown over
him and drew me close against his
heart. I stooped and put my lips to
his forehead and then my hand
! found its way into the broad rip
! pies of his dark hair. Neither of us
| spoke. The silence seemed to en
fold us gently. In the peace of that
moment 1 felt anew lw W utterly njy
! Jim and I belonged to /-ach other—
"in sickness, in health, for richer,

A peal at the doorbell brought us
back from dreaming. When I threw
open the door theer stood Phoebe

nymph tucked out in impudent
scarlet and bronze by daring Mother
Autumn.
"I—l just couldn't wait any
longer. I wanted to see Jim, and
Virginia said 1 might bring him
some grapefruit and this little Del
monico steak." she whispered, lin
gering on the threshold and wait
ing timidly to be asked to cross it.
"Come in, kiddie: come over here
and kiss your big brother and make
him all well!" shouted Jim with
surprising vigor.
Phoebo pattered over to the
couch with a cry of delight:
"Why, I thought you were siek!"
"The doctor, and even so eminent
an authority as your sister, Mrs.
Anne Harrison, labored under the
same odd impression. But a torn
ligament doesn't take toll of an.
ex-soldier for long. Phoebe. 1 think
if all this scarlet and gold and
bronze-brown loveliness would stay
and dine with me I'd be well
enough jo-morrow to go out and
see the rest of tho Autumn in
stead of having it brought to me."
Phoebe giggled in high delight
as the invitation to remain was
seconded by "the lady of the house."
But I wondered if Jim was uncon
scious of the fact that now, of
course, Xeal would escort Phoebe |
home. X had an idea that all this j
delight in each other which Jim J
and Phoebe' were showing had j
really depths of which neither was j
conscious. Wasn't Jim pathetically |
eager to bo put in touch with Vir
ginia? And wasn't that blinding
him to Phoebe's probable desire to
see Xeal again?
Phoebe insisted on helping me
get dinner, and while we worked a
new problm assailed me. Terry
had said 1 need only keep silent
in order to further his scheme —
but, as a matter of fact, wouldn't
1 have to coach Xeal for his part
in it?
With this in view I begged
Phoebe in to entertain Jim, about
two* seconds after Xeal got into the
house, a'hen, hardening my heart
to her hurt little glance, 1 turned
to Xeal. Rut he spoke lirst:
"Anne, have you ever told Jim
about my paying you ten a week?"
"Xeal, why do you ask that so
brutally?" I demanded angrily.
"Well, have you? Answer me?"
"Xo—there seemed no reason—it
LIFE'S PROBLEMS
ARE DISC VISED
In so many of tlie letters which reach
me I tind the same complaint: "I am
so tired of it all. I feel as if 1 never
COUld go on." And that is natural
when one has been struggling with
adverse conditions or attempting to
solve a problem all at once. But
in every one of us exists a reserve
force which is generally unsuspected
by us, and by drawing on it after
strength seems to have gone com
pletely one is led often to supreme ac
complishment. It is as if accomplish
ment were made possible by that
quality which is stored up in reserve
force.
People call this "second wind." A
race horse expends liis -strength ap
parently in the lirst rush; but his
trained and experienced observers
know that the thoroughbred lias a i
tremendous reserve force and that at
the supreme moment he will call up
on it and most likely be carried over
with flying colors In the tinal dash to
victory.
We have seen it demonstrated again i
and again m this present war. It is
the dogged determination to hold on
which brings up that reserve force
and wins out finally. Men bred to all
the soft filings of life have, withput a
murmur, accepted conditions they
would have denied ability to accept
in times of peace. They have worked
and planned, achieved and suffered as
they never dreamed that they could,
using the force Which lies in each of
us. and proving, what Professor James
asserted some years ago, that we only (
use one-fourth of our brain power: j
that We have unsuspected abilities
and powers that we never dream of
using.
Women draw upon this reserve
force perhaps more than men, for
tliey have shown themselves capable
of greater endurance in tests which
cause wonder ill those who see its
demonstration. Tliey have not the
physical force, but they have the
greater staying powers.
Men use this force when they have I
some great stake in the balance. They j
will go without sleep and food, or
change of clothing until they have!
solved their problem, and then, after i
a bath, a change of clothes, they will
go out unaware that tliey have been
under any great strain, and demon
strate to a public what they have solv
ed under tin- strain.
The annals of this war when we
get them will show us human nature
under severest strains and answering
to the whip of command on one's self
in results of tremendous significance.
And in every instance that very ef
fort will have strengthened and de-1
veloped character and made easier the
solving of the next problem to arise.
1 know a woman who works at a
tremendous strain from 9 to 5. Four j
years ago, she says, she never dream- j
ed that she had strength to do it. I
When she leaves her office she casts j
it all aside, goes home, jumps, she i
savs, into another personality, j
changes her clothes and mental out
look and is ready for amusement. She
lias won not only professional suc
cess, but health of mind and body and
—good looks.
Yet there are many people who can
not cast aside their worries. These |
are, wgth them always. They are tlie |
problems of the home and family. ,
The monotonous over-and-over that |
wears on the nerves and spirit. But j
resignation is deadening to vital force j
and there is always some way out. |
Sometimes these thieigs are just the,
obstacles that will bring from our re- ,
serve force the rejuvenating essence ;
that clears the mental eyes and opens :
them to greater visions than we j
dreamed of.
Did Pershing, plodding over the,
dusty roads of Mexico, hunting an
elusive bandit, putting up with su-i
preme inconvenience a-nd hampered ;
by international complications, lose j
heart? Did he, when, In the enervat- j
ing climate of the Philippines, chas
ing rebels In the mountains, repine be
cause he was not in Washington in
the soft places of the department? |
Not a bit of it. He was often drawing i
on his reserve force, keeping himself |
up to his ideal of a soldier, studying, j
spurring, saving his men and storing
up the knowledge, the experience!
which has enabled him to supplement!
with his men our Allies at the most |
critical moment: even to urge them
thrown into battle before foreign
commanders were sure they were
ready. He knew his men. Ho had )
been with them—as Americans—in,
times of trial. He was as sure'of thetrt
mettle as he was of his own. Yet hi
never dreamed. I dare say, of such l
thing when plodding day after sla' I
over the dusty deserts of Mexico, av- j
during heat nnd cold, and keeping t
himself, evten there, the perfectly a>- I
pointed soldier, an example aid |
model to his men.
Edward Rowland Sill's poem, "#p
portunity,' is a fine Inspiration to

ed to spare him."
"Exactly. Well, Captain wnston

downstairs for nie to go to se cor-
I ner drugstore the minute I came

in and phone him. I did; And. I
I Winston's splendid schemqto help
j Jim without hurting himf-is darn
i pretty. And if you ball it ip you're
I a jealous piker, even if yf> are my
sister. Xow you know what •!
think."
I swallowed a lump inlay throat
and prepared to protest, put before
I could say a word the p*one shrill
ed out its command.
Xeal and 1 stared at/each other
for a second. Then mfstening my
lips, anil throwing bael my shoul
ders in simulation ol oourage, 1
hurried over and laid ny hand on j
the doorknob.
Phoebe met me in he doorway.
"1 answered. It's Virginia—she
wants to speak to yof. Anne."
Virginia! Her p/ontng meant
reconciliation and iapplness for
Jim. 1 must be cari'ul to pay the
right thing.
A bit unsteadily I put the re
ceiver to my ear. /tit it was Bet- i
ty's voice—not Virjfnia's —that re- j
sponded to my gree'ing.
To Be t'otinucd

of a battle rughg, of a craven who
stood at the e£e of the fray and .
grumbled, belitling his sword:
"Had I a sworf of keener steel—
