" When a Girl Marries"
By ANN IJSI.K
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problems of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER CXIII.
"Where's Betty?" I echoed—
my voice taking on a note of fear
from Terry Winston's.
The Canteen was ready to close for
the night, and there were not half
a dozen . persons there—but if there
had been a hundred I'm sure Terry,
the reserved, wouldn't have noticed
them.
"Yes—Where's Betty?" he repeat
ed impatiently. "You saw her. Did
she mention her plans?''
"No —not a thing. Who tolcj you
I'd seen her?" I asked cautiously,
ready In my new-found loyalty to
protect Betty even from Terry.
"I met Norreys at the club, and
got it out of him that he dined you
and Betty last night. Now she's no
slacker—Betty—doesn't chuck up
her work except for good cause. I
didn't like it—directly I heard she
was back. T telephoned her place—-
nothing stirring called Virginia
Ttaltdn—no information —nor yet
from the Red Cross. It's a bit
thick—and not like Betty."
"Oh, Terry—there is something!'
T felt it last night—her eyes, and
the way she held her hand to her
lips all the time. I said that, a
friendship was two-sided, and I'd
like to help her the way she does
me. Then she answered just this
'Not to-night—soon perhaps. Anne '
Oh. Terry, what can we do?"
"I don't know." replied Terry half
under his breath. "I don't know."
Whereupon Carlotta Sturges, whom
T had entirely forgotten, stepped
into the breach of fear lying between
Terry and me.
"It's Mrs. Bryce you are looking
for?" she said calmly. "We'll be on
her track in a jiffy. You see, she
lives in one of my father's build
ings—and, of course, the operator at
the switchboard will tell nte all we
care to know. I'll go 'phone at
once."
On the word, Carlotta hurried off
in the direction of tlie telephone
booth at the rear of the long room.
I noticed that she stoped on the
way and spoke to the lieutenant—
and suddenly the center lights
switched on again, brigtenng the
shadowy gloom of the canteen,
which had been ready to close for
"Mother and Her Pets
Love Candy Cascarets"
Careful mothers know that Cascarets in the
home means less sickness, less trouble, less worry
less cost. When one of the kiddies has a white
tongue, tainted breath, sour stomach or a cold, a
Cascaret quickly and harmlessly works the poisons
from the liver and bowels and all is well again.
MOTHERS! While all^children detest castor oil, calomel,
bills and laxatives, they really love to take Cascarets because they taste
like candy. Cascarets work the nasty bile, sour fermentations and
constipation poison from the child's tender stomach, liver and bowels
without pain or griping. Cascarets never disappoint the worried
mother. Lach 10 cent box of Cascarets contains directions for
children aged one year old and upwards as well as for adults.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
the night when Terry burst into it.
Then 'Lootie," as we sometimes
disrespectfully called our lienten
ant, came over and beckoned me to
bne side:
"Take your time. Mrs. Harrison
take youp time. I'll leave the place
in your charge, and yoc put out the
lights, lock up and send me the
keys by , registered mail. That will
be all right, as our unit doesn't
come on again for three days. Miss
Stcrges tells me that you have a
very important communication for
one of the Red Cross workers and
want to locate her at once. Hope
yoc get her. Good night.*
"Oh, thank you thank you so
mcch! Good night,'* I said, with
more fervor than originality, and re
turned to Terry.
"W've got to find her!" he de
clared again, and added: "But
there's no cse taking the world in
on it. * * * Betty wouldn't like
a fuss. I'm glad Miss Sturges put
your lientenant on a false scent. But,
it's unfortunate Miss Sturges has
taken charge—"
Before 1 could reply, a very sober
Carlotta came out or the telephone
booth and joined us again.
"It's so silly—but I can't seem to
make the operator understand me.
Shall we go over to the building?"
"You're very good." said Terry
with a formal air that would have
dismissed anyone but Caroltta.
"I called a taxi," said Carlotta ef
ficiently. "It will be here by the time
wo lock tip. Take a cup of hot
coffee, folks, while I shut up shop."
And Carlotta set two cups of
steaming coffee an da plate of sand
wiches before us. for a second
Terry stared after Carlotta, in puz
zled fashion. Then he said quietly'
"She's kind—by Jove—she's kind." '
Whereupon he gulped down a sip
or two of the hot drinks.
Afterwards I realized that Carlotta

tact that she didn't stop to pour
herself a cup of coffee, but that she
took a sandwich along and munched

CHAPTER XXXVI.
Mildred. Brent was pretty under
all circumstances. Arthur Bruce
thought her prettier than ever this
, evening: • 1
She did not open the front door
for him, but stood waiting while
Katie answered his ring. She had
given orders that her guest was to
be ushered into the library.
She was standing in front of the
hearth as he entered, and the ruddy

checks, and her eyes reflected the

! The furnace tire had been allowed to
i go out, now that spring was really
i here. The open fire was becoming,
and Mildred Brent knew this. That
was why she had thrown on an
extra log as she he?ru the doorbell
ring.
"Mildred!" Arthur exclaimed, hur
rying forward and seizing her out
stretched hand. "Vou are expecting
me?"
"Yes," she answered. "Honora
told me you were coming. She also :
told me of the walk you and she
took. I almost envied her."
"Why?" eagerly.
"Because it was such a lovely af
ternoon,' she replied, demurely,
"and I had to sit and work in a
stuffy old office."
"It is a shame," he sympathized. I
"If I had my way you would never I
have to work."
"I wish you had your way, then,"
she laughed. "I like my job fairly
well—at least I like flic independ
ence it gives-me—but in the spring

A Challenge.
"I am afraid you do riot wish I had
my way in everything," the man
ventured.
"Why not?" she challenged.
'Because,' taking her hand, "if
T had my way you would give me ]
the right to care for you."
She let her hand lie in his, and
kept her. face averted.
"Mildred," he pleaded, "is there
any chance that you will ever learn
to care for me "
"Are you sure you care for me?"
he murmured.
i With a vain woman's desire f.ori
power she longed to hear him de
clare his affection.
"Am T sure?" he repeated. "Can
you doubt it ? • You know I love you. |
MiMldred. Why do you pretend not
to know it?"
The telephone bell broke in sharp
ly upon the silence, following* this
speech. Neither spoke as Katib
went to answer it.
"It's for you, Miss Mildred," she
announced.
"Excuse me!" Mildred said hast- -
,il.v. hurrying out into the hall.

ruption. Uncertainty worild only

while since I saw you. But I've
been mighty busy. I was out of

worked every hour, so that I got no

i I sat behind you."
j She knew that the blow went
[straight home. Yet Tom tried to
laugh. ...
"You're off," he muttered. "I
j wasn't there."
"Good-by," she said in frigid ac
cents.
"I say!" he proltsled. "What's
I the matter? I admit 1 was there,
but what if I was? A fellow's got
a right to go where he pleases and
with anybody lie pleases, hasn't he?"
Then she knew that -he was drunk.
"Good-by " she repeated,
t "That's all right!" lie declared,
j "Get peeved if you like! There are

stood for a moment trying to quell!

was in the library.

"That was • Tom Chandler," she 1
said. ' "He begged to come up." I
"Did you want him?" Arthur
asked quickly! i
She shook her head. "Not to

He held out his hands impulsively
to her. "Mildred," lie pleaded, "I
must know ihe truth. Don't you
understand how I love yoc?."
She laid her cold hands in his. J
Her voice trembled slightly, for shei

i The State of Colorado is showing:
special interest in the new book by
Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King:, "In
dustry and Humanity." (Houghton
Mifflin Company), because of n g'eat
personal interest in and respect for
I the author. During- the trying fuel
I and iron strike in that state Mr.
j King- showed wisdom and tact which
I earned for him the lasting regard of
the people of Colorado. It was lie
who devised the plan of settlement
which finally solved the problem.
Thus does one of his western ad
mirers speak of bis book: "To this
volume Mr. King has brought a strict
education, a careful exact mind, and
long practical experience as 'nvesti
gator and conciliator in the indus
trial field. lie differs from many
writers in that he has been in con
tact with worker as well as em
ployer and has profited by his op
portunities. In other ivurds le is
not a bookman adopting a precon
ceived or theoretical outlook to the
work before him and reasoning
from the abstract, but one v.'ho views
industrialism and industrial unrest
from different angles and with a sin
cere sympathy for the worker."
For a book by an American about
another country to meet with the ap
proval of the authorities of that
country is perhaps unusual. Such ap
proval seems to have been given to
the. new book "Japan at First Hand,"
by J. I. C. Clarke (Dodd, Mead &
Company). The publishers of the
book announce that five hundred
copies have been ordered by the Jap
