" 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. There's one thing certain when you eat HOLSUM BREAD you are sure that you ate getting bread that is wholesome. Not every baker knows how to bake good bread. And many of them do not know how to make bread delicious as well as good. HOLSUM BREAD has pleased the people for a great many years because it is alVays the same. The rich nourishment of HOLSUM BREAD, the flavor, the tender crust, appeal to old and young. Be on the safe side and eat Holsum Bread All Grocers Sell Holsum Bread We do not deliver to houses direct from the bakery. i i. SCHMIDT'S BAKERY 13th and Walnut Sts. 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 mil si a P! iJ , '- ehec k and put It on the bill-file: afterwards 1 reacted to the tact that she didn't stop to pour herself a cup of coffee, but that she took a sandwich along and munched it in the cab.

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 j glow brought a richer color to her checks, and her eyes reflected the The evening was not very cold, | but there was a chill in the air. ! 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 1 get a bit tired of it." 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. I She was not sorry for the Inter ruption.

She went back to Arthur Bruce, a! subdued idea making her heart-beat. | "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 night, anyway," she replied. 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 was still very. angry witii Chand-j ler. "Ves." she said. "I understand." | "Darling," drawing her to him ; "enn you—do you"- "Ves," she said, laughing tin- 1 steadily. "| can . and I do—Ar-1 thuf." It was later in ihe evening when he told her that his father's bust- ' ness was in a critical condition. Of! course, she would mention this fact i to nobody. He had meafit to tell j her all about it before she gave him tier propiise to marry him, but] his joy made him reckless. "Never mind," she said Confident-! ly, ".it'll come nul right.

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).

It has been said that the best books about America have been writ ten by Knglishmen. as witness Lord Bryce's "American Commonwealth," Dicken's "American Notes," Mrs. Trollope's "Domestic Manners of the Americans," Arnold Bennett's "Your United States"—to mention a few. One of the best recent books is "America's Day," by Ignatius Phayre (sounds like a nom-de-plume) writ ten originally for Knglish consump tion, just published in this country (Dodd, Mead & Company). Mr. Phayre (if that is Ills name) seemingly has had unequalled opportunities to ok serve us at close range during the past five years and he writes in a HUMFORD THE WHOLESOME POWDER "Hjulllulilliilw l —jr tAKINC * s wholesome and efficient j §wg£ always gives good results —is uniform in value and inexpensive.
