* ■ ■ ■—■ ■ d "When a Girl Marries" By ANN LIBLK A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problems of a Girl Wife On the morning after Virginia's tinner I woke to a world about as •avorless as a cold rice pudding without raisins in It or cream to go with 1L Virginia and I were at swords' points over an unexplained friend ship with Pat Dalton. And Phoebe and I'—where were Phoebe and I? The child had turned bitter and mo rose over the nipping of her love af fair with Neal. In this I dared not Interfere —partly because I couldn't risk still moro misunderstanding with Virginia, partly because I was afraid to play Providence to the af fairs of my fickle young brother and the child who had almost confessed It was loneliness and lack of other young companions that had swept her into Neal's arms. One thing I didn't believe —and that was Phoebe's story that she'd been calling Longley, the florist, when the maid reported that Long Distance said Forty-something didn't answer. Long Distance might sound a bit like Longley the Florist • —but the Florist's number was 8820 —and that couldn't be piistaken for Forty-something, while Fort' Starl ing, where Neal was training could easily be so twisted. I longed to help Phoebe—but what could I do? As Jim had said, I'd better keep my hands off his sis ters' affairs until I'd proved myself capable of handling by own. And to what pass had I brought my own affairs?

But that didn't mean that I'd stopped caring. Jim wasn't the perfect hero I had once thought him —but he was still my man. How ever he failed me, however he hu milated me or disappointed me, Jim was my man. He had my heart and my faith and my first loyalty along with my first dreams. I hadn't taken them away. He had Just handed them back to me very politely, say ing as he did so: "You let me go my way—and I'll let you go yours. We'll cut out a bit of the lovey-dovey stuff and act like good pals." . There was no getting away from it—l wasn't ready for this. I felt humiliated, lonely, lost—repudiated. Not a wife any longer. I got through the first long hours of the morning somehow. But when the phone rang, I hurried to answer its summons with Joy and relief at any break in the black-linked chain of my dreariness. "Mrs. Harrison?" asked a voice— rich in every note —"This is Carlotta Sturges. I've Just had a note from 'Lootle' telling me to report at the canteen with our unit to-morrow morning at nine.

So an hour later I found myself again entering the tiny foyer of the little chintz-hung restaurant where I'd met Pat Dalton for tea a fort night before. "Have you ever been here be fore?" asked Carlotta, who was waiting when I arrived and who swept me promptly to a little win dow table she had evidently re served. "Only once," I replied. "But I like it —I must come more often." "Who brought you—not Virginia Dalton—ryour sister-in-law?" asked the girl with an eager abruptness she didn't seem to recognize as rude. "No," X said quietly, calculating my effect, because, I felt the need of knowing the reason for her eager ness. "No, not Virginia, but Pat." Carlotta's high-colored face.went pale. "Pat," she said—"Pat! , . . Shall we order? A cold egg first and then some chicken Cllnsarge with souffle potatoes and artichoke hol landalse. Does that please you?" "That sounds delicious," I agreed. "I don't know much about the cuisine here. Pat and I came to tea." I surmised It was cruel to drag Pat Dalton's name back Into the con versation, but I felt that for the happiness of Virginia and Pat—and perhaps even of this too vivid, too alive, too generous girl—l had best be cruel and gain the knowledge that might some day help them all. "What a good sort you are, Mrs. Harrison, to get me back into our lieutenant's good graces! Why, I shouldn't be surprised if you were to get good old Pat back into the arms—of his—melted Iceberg," mur mured Carlotta, looking at me search lngly. Then I realized that I was deal ing with a clever girl—a girl as anxious to get information from me as X was to "interview" her. (To be continued.) William B.

THE HEART BREAKER ,A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY ■7 VIRGINIA TERHIINE VAN DE WATER CHAPTER XXIX (Copyright 1919, Star Company) Except when Honora gave her di rections tq the taxicab driver, neither of the Brent girls spoke dur ing the trip from the railroad sta tion to their home. Honora glanced frequently at Mil dred, but the younger girl was gazing straight ahead, her lips set in a hard line. Once Honora pat ted the tightly clasped fingers, but as Mildred gave no sign that she felt the affectionate touch Honora withdrew her hand and made no more advances. She was very sorry 'or Mildred, yet perhaps it was well that she had seen Tom Chandler in his true colors. Katie opened the door for the girls, greeted them effusively and in quired if they would not like some thing to eat. Honora appealed to Mildred, who replied tersely that she wanted nothing. Then Katie re turned to the kitchen and the sisters went on into the lighted library. Here Mildred's tense attitude re laxed. Throwing off her hat and jacket, she turned upon her sister with the demand: "Well, you saw it all, didn't you? Now I suppose you're satisfied be cause the other exclaimed. "All I the things you claim about hlrh are true!" "My dear," Honora protested, "don't talk like that!" "Oh, I don't know how I'm talk ing!" the othe exclaimed. "All I know is that Tom has tried to make a fool of me, but I'll show him that he can't!" She began to walk up and down the room, while Honora stood watching her, uncertain what to do. Suddenly Mildred turned upon her. "Well, haven't you a thing to say? Don't stand there as if you were afraid to speak!" "I am not afraid to speak, Milly," was the calm rejoinder. "Only—l do not want to hurt you." A Probable Solution "You won't do that —for I don't care! Tell me what you think." "I think that perhaps Tom Chand ler—and the girl, too —had been drinking." "Perhaps," Mildred suggested, sarcastically and with a harsh laugh, "she had been having a sli ver fizz." "Perhaps she had," was the un expected rejoinder. "A man who would give you such a drink as that—pretending: It contained no intoxicant—would certainly grlve It, or something stronger, to a girl who—well, to a girl like —like the one we saw him with awhile ago." "You put me in a class with her, do you?" Mildred demanded. Honora perceived that mincing matters would do no good. So she changed her tactics abruptly. "Mildred," she said, sternly, "If you weren't so much excited I would not excuse that speech. As It is, I advise you not to repeat It. What you saw to-night was not my fault. I am sorry for you—that is all I can say and all I will say." Then it was that Mildred Brent burst Into tears. "Oh, I have been horrid to you!" she exclaimed, "I know that! But I am all upset. You can't under stand." "Why can't I?" "Because you. don't know the things that Tom has said—how things were between him and me. The very last time I saw him he Insisted that he cared for nobody but me, and that he wanted me to give him Just as much df my af fection as I could. He said he would teach me to love him more than everybody else in the world." "But you don't?" Honora re marked. t There was a note of Interroga tion in the statement, and the other answered it. "No, but I came pretty near it— at least he thought I did. And I let him kiss me, and I kissed him back, too." Honora bit her lips to keep from speaking what was in her mind. She was indignant, yet compassion ate. "I'll show ihm!" Mildred ex claimed violently. "Now I know whether I'll take him or Arthur Bruce. I'll take Arthur, if only for the sake of spiting Tom." Not Love at All "But It won't spite him, my dear," her sister said, "unless he loves you." I'll make him as uncomfortable as he has made me," Mildred de clared. "Then you don't love him at all," Honora commented. "He has hurt your vanity, Mllly, not your heart. Be glad of that, dear." "I'm not glad of anything, yet," Mildred protested. "But I am going to be glad when I've made Tom Chandler squirm. And I'll do it! I'm going to send for Arthur to-mor row." "Do you think" —the question was ptit tentatively—"that you are quite fair to Arthur?" "What do you mean?" "Do you think it's quite fair to him to use him to punish another man? He has been,your very good friend, Milly. And he cares a great deal for you. You know that." The look of anger on the young face gave way to a smile of grati fied vanity. "I know he does. If you could see the way he looks at me you'd know it." The recollection was already soothing her lacerated Canity. "And do you love him, Milly?" Mildred laughed. Her mood of bitterness was gone. "I guess per haps I'll decide to," she evaded. "Anyway, I'm going to send for him to-morrow. And now let's talk of anything except Tom. That painted and half-drunk girl is welcome to him. They are two of a kind, I guess." (To be continued) DR. BECHT HOME FROMTHE FRONT [Continued from First Pago.] one of the best instructors he had ever had. Battlefield a Ruin "No description in words is ade quate to picture the ruin and de vastation that have been wrought in France," said Dr. Becht, "One must see it in order to realize how completely the ruthless Hun looted, smashed, burned and killed along the bloody path pf war. After four and a half years of fighting back and forth over four million acres of arable land, the very soil has been poisoned and pulverized. The once large and beautiful forests of North ern France have been reduced to areas of blackened and mutilated stumps. One may travel mile after a certain section and find only heaps of shattered stone and plaster where once stood towns and villages. At some places the constant shell fire has ground • the walls to powder and the melancholy sign by the roadside Indicates: 'This was the site of such and such a vil lage.' Shapeless Ruins "Belleau, Torcy and Veaux in the neighborhood of Chateau Thierry, are shapeless ruins. The city of Rhelms before which the enemy was held at bay for four years, was so shelled by artillery fire that twelve thousand of its fourteen thousand homes have been destroyed. The Rheims Cathedral, 'that shrine of history where the bones of kings lie and where every stone speaks of saints and heroes and a thousand years of worship," is a total wreck except that its two majestic towers still stand mute witnesses to the frenzied fury of the mad Hun in his vindlcitive assassination of the very glories of architecture. At Lens out of eleven thousand buildings not one remains, not even a wall re mains standing. "Within a few miles to the north of Rhelms are the abandoned am munition dumps, trenches and dug outs of the Germans which had been evacuated but recently. Some of the rooms thirty feet under ground had been hollowed out of the soft chalk formation and were fitted up with reasonably modern convenien ces. "Some of the most complete dug outs were seen in the St. Mlhiel sa lient. These were tunneled into the mountainside and the ceilings arch ed with corrugated or elephant iron. One section consisted of officers' quarters. A large room gave evi dence of having been used as a club room. There were bay windows ex tending from under the overhanging mountain, jwlndow scats, book cases, closets, comfortable lounges, in fact there seemed to be no lack of facili ties for comfortable living. In sec tions where the Germans held the territory for a long time, dugouts were lighted by electricity and in the neighborhood of the dugouts large garden areas were cultivated which gave fresh vegetable subsistence. The completeness with which the A eiEAR COHPIfXBN Ruddy Cheeks—Sparkling Eyes —Most Women Can Have Says Dr. Edwards, a Well-Known Ohio Physician Dr. F. M. Edwards for 17years treated scores of women for liver and bowel ail ments. During these years he gave to his patients a prescription made of a few well-known vegetable ingredients mixed with olive oil, naming them Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets. You will know them by their olive color. These tablets are wonder-workers on the liver and bowels, which cause a normal action, carrying off the waste and poisonous matter in one's system. If you have a pale face, sallow look, dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, head aches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one of Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets nightly for a time and note the pleasing results.

German carried out his plan of con structing substantially, preparing thoroughly providing adequately for his own welfare is only surpassed by the diabolical and ingeniously , and bestial completeness with which he planned for systematic devastation and destruction. "One night was spent in the citadel at Verdun. The underground part of the citadel consists of tun nels about fifteen feet high and range from fifteen to twenty-five feet in width. The aggregate num ber of miles of tunneels is about fif teen in which more than seven thousand men can be quartered. The city is surrounded by a ring of forts and some of the most desperate fighting of the war was for the pos session of these. Fort De Vaux was taken and retaken a number of times. For miles around this fort evidences of fierceness of the struggle are unmistakable. There is scarcely a foot of ground that has not been upturned by shellfire. In wood and field and by the roadside are shell holes, large as the cellar of a small sized house. Large areas of the landscape has the appearance of having been churned into brown foam. After Verdun "Leaving Verdun we made our way north along the Meuso in the Argonne region as far as Mont faucon. It was in the Argonne for ests that the most recent and some of the fiercest fighting of the war took place. It was in this section that the 28th, the Pennsylvania Keystone Division and the 79 th largely composed of Pennsylvania troops won slnal distinction for gal lant and meritorious conduct. "Though the salvage battalions had covered this section, yet every where were grim evidences of battle. "Helmets, rifles, bayonets, scab bards. haversacks lay in the fields and by th© roadside and occasionally dead horses added a hldeousness to the somber gray landscape.

These doughboys have won the highest praise not only from the Allies but even the enemy attributes to them superior fighting qualities. No one who has not been in France can real ize what hardships they have en dured. The rain, tho mud, the slime are, of course, only incidents, though disagreeable ones. In the higher test on the battlefield they showed ini tiative and dauntless courage. The only adverse criticism I ever heard concerning them, and that was even complimentary, was that the Yank was too anxious to get on to the next line and acted as if the barrage were a thing to lean upon.
