H When a Girl Marries"
Br A\X LISLE
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problems of a Girl Wife
As we taxied to the matinee \ ir
ginia, returned to the matter of
Jim, but now she spoke in terms of
what I knew was much nearer her
heart than clothes and allowances.
Another woman would probably
have launched this disctsion as soon
as I came into her house. But
Virginia as I was now cotu*ng to
understand rould never easily
break down the barriers of her own
reserve and pride. She had always
to work herself up gradually, to a
point of complete frankness.
"Ajtne. did Jim say anything more
bout the way we schemed to get
him into Tony's office?" she asked
abruptly after two or three efforts
to introduce the subject easily and 1
naturally.
"Not about your part in it. I re- ,
turned truthfully, if evasively.
"Jim was very angry at me. I don t.
know whether or not we re on speak- !
ing terms." said Yirg.nia, trying to (
act as if it were all a joke.
"He was angry with Anthony Nor
reys." I said, hoping that I wouldn't
have' to reveal how far this anger with j
Tonv had swept us both.
• No or.e could positively stay angry
at Tonv long. He's the salt of the
earth Jim just doesn t know hint. I
and it hurts his pride to think he had i
to accent help from Tony. \ou wait
till Jim's riding around in his own I
car."
"What difference will that make.
I demanded eagerly.
"All the difference in the world .
Ton\ s new to Jim. and that proud
brother of mine hates pity or help
even from his very own. So can
you Imagine how this Tony
galls him?" replied Virginia with as
surance.
"It didn't fully reassure me. how
ever. because 1 feared that Jim's atti
tude toward Tony was one of those
instinctive dislikes that go deeper than
reason and so can't be dealt with by
reason. llalf smilingly I thought of ,
the old rule:
"I do not like you. Hector Fell.
The reason why I cannot tell :
But this is what I kr.ow full well—
I do no: like you. Doctor Fell."
"Yes. I can see how the situation
galls Jim " 1 replied, "and I think the
memory of it will always keep Jim
from liking Tony."
"Nonsense 1" said Virginia allwisely.
this would have closed the discus
sion even if we hadn't arrived at the
theatre at just that minute.
All through the play, which the ap
plause marked as sufficiently interest
ing to command and hold every one
else's attention, my mind kept w.inder
ir.g back to Virginia's suggestion. I
■treaded the thought of pinning Jim
down to a discussion of money matters.
*T ut it seemed to me that if I calmly
. nd like a real pal insisted on a pro
per adjustment of our everyday affairs,
things really might go more smoothly,
between us. By the end of the third
net I was fully resolved to try the
thing out "on a business basis." At,
the mere idea my heart thumped mad-;
•v. but J though.: I'd probably get used
to our new cool friendliness in a day
or two and be ready to introduce the
financial element into it before long.
"Shall we go for tea?" asked Yir-,
ginia, as we crowded our way up the
aisle.
"I'd love to—only this is my can
teen evening, and I'll be late as it
is" I replied, rather thankful that
I ' didn't have to sit at a table and (
reveal my sketchy knowledge of the

"Home first or straight to the can
teen?" asked Yirginia. as she hailed
a taxi.
"Bight to the canteen. My unl
; form's there."
"And I have your hundred dollars
■ ; for feeding poor boys," replied Yir
ginia. "Tony gave it to me—said
of course, he couldn't bother Betty
now. and that you liked getting it
' through a middleman. Then Jeanie
turned to me with a new thought.
"Why. Anne, is my brother evil
i ; minded or jealous?"
1 "Oh. it isn't that." I turned, eager
jto tell niv half-truth. "But naturally
j I can't always get in touch with

nation from some one who can meet
Tonv for lunch or dinner when she

; which had just made its wide sweep
lof the congested square and returned
i for us. And as I went forward Pat
' Balton stepped tip to 'he curb from
! behind the concealing taxi and came
; face to face with both of us.
At once Yirginia turned away to give
her directions to the driver. With only
: a moment's hesitation. Pat swept off
his hat and I bowed gravely. After
I had done it T wondered if Virginia
I would be offended: if she would feel
| that I had owed it to her to pretend
that T did not see Pat.
| Virginia studied me keenly fora second
, into the taxi that I determined to fol
i low up our frankness by asking ber
I how she felt about by friendship with
the man who had once been everything
in the world to her and to whom she
would not now even offer a casual
greeting on the street.
"Virginia, you don't mind—feel hurt
4 —think it's disloyal to you for me to
speak to—him?" I ventured stumb
ling! v.
"Whv of course not 1 T think your
friendship may save him from a great
deal." said Virginia, with carefully
averted eyes Titer. sho> turned to me
, and went on with less constraint ; "Be
cause we happen to be close doesn't
mean that T expect you to see only
the people with whom I'm friendly.
You're a free woman, you know, with
, a right to opinions -and friendships of
your own Now that's all clear the
last barrier to our being real sisters
has gone down, hasn't it. Anne'."'
There was a lonely, almost a plead
ing note in Virginia's voice. It gave
me a glimpse of how empty a woman's
life can be when love is gone. Almost
in terror I caught her hand.
"You're generous and broadminded.
Jeanie." I replied" T wish more people
were like you. Indeed. I do feel we
really are sisters now.
There was a moment of silence.
Then Virginia turned and studied me
attentively.
In the half light of the cab I fancied
that her eyes were wet. and wondered
if she saw that mine were dim.

THE HEART BREAKER
A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY
By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAX I)P. WATPIt
CHAPTER LIX.
(Copyright, 1919. Star Company).
Honora did not hasten to return
to Mildred. Instead she made Mrs.
Higgins comfortable for the night,
assisting her into bed and giving
her such medicine as her physician
had prescribed.
■*l am sure my sciatica is getting
better." the invalid remarked after
she was comfortably settled for the
night. The rest and treatment have
helped me very much."
"I hope you will sleep well.
Honora stooped to drop a kiss on
her companion's forehead. If >o u
want anything, ring your bell."
"1 will," the other promised.
Honora had reached the door
when a sudden thought made her
pause.
"if you hear any movements
about the house in the night do not
be disturbed. 1 told Arthur that if
his mother needed any one to stay
with her, or to look after her, he
must send or come over here. So,
if you hear au arrival do not be
startled."
"No, I won't." Mrs. Higgins as
sured her. "But it' Mildred goes
make her wrap up warmly. It is a
cool night."
"I doubt if Mildred goes." Ho
nora considered it wiser to make
this statement now so as to avoid
embarrassing questions later. "She
is tired. 1 will go lu her place."
"Well, I suppose as xou are older,
you are the one —only as Arthur s
betrothed I should suppose Mil
dred would go—wouldn't you?"
Honora pretended not to hear
this query, but went on out of the
room, closing the door behind her.
A Hard Time Ahead
In the upper hall she stood still
' in the darkness, pondering.
She knew that a disagreeable in
terview was ahead of her. Mildred
was probably repentant by this
; time, and in a tearful mood. In
which, ease the older sister would
have to comfort her and to assure
' her that she would do her best to
explain to Arthur that she, Mildred.
. had not understood how ill his
father was and ask him to overlook
any peculiarities in her behavior.
Such peculiarities must be attribut
ed to her anxiety.
Hut here Hcnora hrought herself.
■up with a jerk. If Mildred had been
anxious, it was because she ap
-1 preciated how ill Arthur's father
was. In which case it was certainly
i heartless of her to amuse herself •
with Tom ('handler. Moreover, what
was all this about Miss Jasper?"
Had Miss Jasper been here at all°
If so why had she gone home before
; dinner.
Mildred must be faced sooner or
j later, and the sooner the better. Of
j course the child would be repentant
and apologetic. Although Honora
disapproved of Mildred's course of
action, her repentance always won
her pity and foregiveness.
She went downstairs prepared to
meet a tearful penitent; instead of
; which, on entering the library, she
was confronted by an indignant
; young woman who began at once
to talk, her eyes, snapping, her
, hands clenched.
"It seems to me." Mildred'broke
forth hotly, "that I have a right to
I demand that several things be ex
; plained to me. Honora."
i Honora caught her breath in sur
: prise. This was a strange revearsal
!of positions. She had expected to
j console Mildred before asking for
; an explanation from her—and here
, was Mildred demanding that she.
(.Honora, eplxain herself.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"What do you want explained?"
"How it happened that I. who am
engaged to Arthur Bruce, am kept

i tion until two hours after the man
| is dead!"
Mildred Annoyed

warned. "Do not talk so loudly,
and please do not speak like that
about such an awful thing as Air.
Bruce's death."
"Oh, don't take that tone with mc,
llouora!" Mildred explained. "I am
not going to put up with it. "What
I want to know is why 1 was not
sent for long ago."
I "Because you declined to come
when Arthur asked you to." was the
blunt reply.
"Yes, 1 did last night. I did not
think it was proper for me to go
over there late at night and stay.
Besides, you wanted to go yourself,
land 1 saw that you wanted to, so
|1 stepped aside and let you take ray
place.
"And then you went back there
again to-day. without ever telling
me how ill Air. Bruce was and
everybody will say that I—engaged
to Arthur and not wanted there,
and that you were. I suppose you
knew that man was dying, didn't
you? Well, then, why was I not
sent for?"
"You would not have come." the
j sister asserted. "And 1 knew that
you would not. Why should I have
made. Arthur more miserable by
letting him know that too?"
"Oh. you wanted to comfort him
yourself, did you?" the younger girl
; scoffed. "Well, you might have given
a little thought to me in my anxiety
and trouble."
Honora stood looking at the an
gry creature and thinking very
fast. Surely the time hail come for
I her too, to speak plainly.
"Alilly." she said, "you force me
to say things that may seem un
kind. But as frankness seems to
i be the order of the day, I will be
frank with you.
"Arthur wanted you to go to his
mother last night you refused
because you did not want to go
not because of any serupples on the
score of propriety. Wait"—as .Mil
dred tried to interrupt—"propriety
is not your forte, my dear. Had it
been, you would not have dined
alone with Tom Chandler to-night.
"Had you loved Arthur you would
not have done it. You knew Arthur
was in trouble, yet you asked a
man to come here—even pretended
to Mrs. Iliggins that a girl friend
was coming, too —and when Arthur
in his great trouble, and longing
for your sympathy, arrived, he ;
found Tom Chandler kissing you. ,
1 think, my dear, if there are any \
explanations to be made, it is you j
who must make theni, not Arthur!
Bruce nor myself."
