"When a Girl Marries" By ANN LISI,K A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problems of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CXV. ' (Copyright. 1919, King Features Syndicate, Inc.) "The whole story. Yes, tell me, Terry," I said very quietly. In the midst of my worry over Betty's strange disappearance, I was con scious of an odd, warm feeling that seemed to permeate me. It was the feeling of belonging. Only the night before —dismissed by Virginia, flouted by Phoebe and Evvy—l had thought myself the loneliest, most friendless woman in all our big city. Now T ®J r y Winston was treating me as if I were his dear and trusted confi dante, his sister. He was going to unravel for me the mystery of his odd. baffling friendship with Betty Bryce. I knew a minute of delight, and then came a sudden reaction. Before Terry could begin his story I marshalled it into words: "Terry—wait! Betty has been the kindest of friends to me ever since my—honeymoon days. But she has never told me anything vital about herself. She hasn't made me her confidante. There's Virginia. Per haps Betty'd rather—if some one has to know ber story—rather it were Virginia. I don't want to take advantage of happening—just hap pening to be here now"— Terry raised hi§ face and studied me for a second or two. What he read there seemed to satisfy him. He reached over and took my hand between both of his, patted it ab sentmindedly—and then released it. "Betty took a fancy to you first shot," he said with conviction. "She could have done with a little more warmth from you, and direct ly you showed it. I make no doubt she'd have told you what I'm going to tell now. Don't let's put on any side now about whether she'd have l chosen Virginia or you. It's you who're here now. Will you take on the job of trying to work out where Betty'd naturally go under the circumstances?" "Yes, Terry. Tell me the whole story," I said. This time I meant it—and I wasn't thinking how fine it was that I had a friend. Instead I was praying that Terry had a friend in me —a friend who'd be of some real use to him—and Betty. Terry leaned forward, his knees apart, his clasped hands hanging between them. For all that he was so big and so fit, he looked—help less.

FOURTH STREET FRIDAY EVENING, he said, in a low, colorless voice. "Ho was in the British Flying Corps—came over to help us Just after Mons. Early in the game, you see. He was out scouting for the artillery—trying to locate an enemy position—when a boche air "circus" got him. Tour Jim came to the rescue. The Huns wouldn't face two—so they flew off back of their lines—and as Jim was pursuing, one of them sneaked down out of a cloud and got Bryce. Jim potted one of the devils, and then turned to help his mate. He made his landing in time to pull poor Bryce out of his blazing machine that had crumpled down on the edge of a road—just in front of a little ruined church. He dragged Bryce into the church and tried to give him first aid. But the poor chap died there—| at the foot of the altar. I suppose you knew?" "No," I grasped. "Jim only told me part. No wonder there was nothing too much for Betty to do for Jim—and his wife —she was so grateful—so grateful. And I don't suppose I ever entirely gave over being a little jealous—wondering a little off in some corner of my brain why she and Jim were such —real friends. I see now. It was—grati tude." "Undying gratitude," said Terry, solemnly. "Betty is like that. She came straight to Jim's squadron when she got over there. It was back of the lines. And when she began driving her ambulance—she begged so for duty near the place her husband fell that they gave it to her. Then Jim's squadron came up again to the front —and Its hangars were in the sector where I was operating. Field artillery's my branch —" "So that's how you met Betty," I whispered. ; "No—it's how I met Jim again after I got out of the Flying Corps. There wasn't a braver scout flying for us. Now comes—my part of the story, Anne." "Yes, Terry—l'm waiting," I said, gently. "I told you once I was with Betty when she drove her car down a road the Germans were shelling and that some of their shrapnel got her —slashed her hand just as she was helping a wounded Tommy into her ambulance." "Yes, I remember," I whispered again. "Well, that wasn't quite true. There was a nest of German guns we couldn't locate. I'd come out to reconnoitre. I saw the ambu lance and the woman down by the roadside. I crept out from ambush to warn them that the Boche had the range of that road—and as I ran down the hill a shell burst back of me. up near the summit of the hill. I came rolling down in the glare of the fire, dirt kicking up before me, flames and thunder back of me. And as I staggered to my feet at the bottom of the hill. I saw the woman straighten up and come running forward into the smoke. "Her arms were outstretched. She was crying a name as she came. Just as she reached me an other shell burst. I caught her in my arms and flung her to the ground—to safety, I hoped. And then I saw that she was wounded — blood was streaming from her arm and hand—her right hand. Before she fainted she called that name again. Can you guess what it was?" I leaned forward. "It was Betty. The woman was Betty?" I managed to gasp.

"We'll announce our engagement right away, won't we?" Mildred ask ed when Arthur Bruce arose to take his departure. The lover hesitated. He was so happy that ho would have been glad to have all the world know that he was engaged to Mildred Brent. Yet with business in such a precari ous state it might be several years before he could marry. Was it fair to the girl to have all her world know just yet that she was his betrothed? She noted his hesitation, arid her face flushed. "Are you ashamed of it?" she demanded. "Mildred!" the exclamation was full of pain. "Don't, dear! lam the proudest man in the world. I was only thinking of you, darling." "Of me?" "Yes, I was wondering if the an- j nouncement would be fair to you." "Oh, 1 see." she rejoined, all signs of anger dying out of her face. "You think it might interfere with my good times?" He did not answer, for that was not what he had meant. "Perhaps it might," she admitted. "Yet" —with a thought of Tom Chandler—"there are certain friends to whom I do want the news broken. But I can trust them to hold their tongues." "I leave all that to you," Arthur said. "Naturally you will want Honora and Mrs. Higgins to know of it at once." "I suppose so." But she did not speak in a way that carried con viction. Milly as a Prevaricator "I took it for granted they were the persons you had in mind," Ar thus said. "Oh, they were!" she assured him hastily. "They and one or two real ly old friends.

"Can you and Mrs. Higgins come down here, or shall we—Arthur and I—come up there?" Mildred asked. Honora did not reply immediate ly. "Mrs. Higgins is tired, Milly/' she said finally. "She has taken off her dress and put on her wrapper. Won't Arthur excuse her to-night?" Arthur Bruce followed his be trothed out into the hall, and now stood beside her at the foot of the stairs. "We won't excuse youl" he called. "Come down here, Honora. We want \o speak to you." We! The girl set her lips tightly, but ran down to the pair waiting for her at the foot of the steps. "I'm engaged to Arthur!" Mildred announced' before the man could I speak. j There was no sign of the shrlnk ! ing, blushing maiden about Mildred. Honora put her arms about her and kissed her. "I hope you will be very happy, darling!" she murmured. Then she turned to Arthur and held out her hand. "You know that I wish you all happiness, dear Ar thur," she said. But he bent and kissed her straight on the lips. And, as he did so, every drop of color left her face, then came surging back in a crim son flood. He Begs Her Pardon "Oh!" she breathed involuntarily, "Don't!" "I—l—beg your pardon," he stam mered. He, too, seefhed to have lost the happy confidence that had been his a moment ago. "I kissed you because, you know"—with an em barrassed laugh—"you are my sis ter now, or will be some day." "Yes; I know," echoing his laugh. "And now may I go up and tell Mrs. Higgins about it? She will be so glad, for she lius always been so much interested in you, Arthur." "But she must not te'l anybody the news," Mildred warned. "Ar thur doesn't want it known yet." "Only because of business,' he hastened to explain. But Honora cut him short. "You are quite right/ she said. "I understand entirely." Mildred pouted prettily as her sis ter disappeared upstairs. "Any one would think that Hon ora had more sense than I have— to hear the way she talks, as if she understood everything that you have in your mind- But," with a giggle, "you certainly did surprise her when you kissed her. She was all fussed over it. Did you notice how funny she looked and how pink she got? I don't suppose," reflectively, "that poor old Honora ever had a man kiss her before since she was grown—l mean except her relatives." "I should hope not!" Arthur ex claimed quickly. "Nice girls don't have men kiss them unless they are engaged or related to them. But why do you say "old Honora?" She Saturday Feb.

"I use 'old' as a term of affec tion," the girl smiled up at him. "I may even call you 'old' some time." "If it means affection, call me 'old' often," the man begged as he kissed her goodnight. Upstairs Honora had broken the news to Mrs. Higgins. "I am surprised," the widow ac knowledged, "yet I might have known it was coming. But, Honora, I fancied it was for you that he came here so much. He seems so fond of you." "He has always been my good friend," Honora remarked. "But he loved Milly. And now, after you have congratulated her, go to bed, dear. You look tired."
