""When a Girl Marries" A.\> uslc A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problems of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CLXXVII "Anno, Where's the money we owe Neal?" Jim demanded over his coffee cup on the morning after my brother's return. "You'd say it was just like a wom an if I told you where I had it hid den," I temporized, watching Neal's flushed, uneasy face. "Go get it," ordered Jim. "Or bet ter still, I'll write you a check for the amount plus the interest. That'll stake you until you land a job, young fellow. Unless you've changed your mind about Harrison and West?" "No, thank you," replied Neal, his voice reflecting some of the misery of his face. Jim went across to the desk and busied himself with his checkbook. After a minute he turned with a yellow oblong paper in his hand. "Here you are, Neal —and now you can keep your little hoard. Anne, or get some do-dads with it. You could use a new frock, I imagine." "Thank you," I said, wondering why Jim's generosity left me so cold. Neal took the check gingerly be- i tween stiff lingers. As he cast his j eyes over it, his face became uj shade that matched his hair. "No, you don't! Nosirec, you I don't!" he cried suddenly in a strangled voice. "This check does n't go, Jim. If you want to—fling back the money I paid for my— lodgings, I suppose I'll have to take it because I'm so darn near broke. But you can't add any twenty-five | dollars." • "Interest!" smiled Jim. largely, j Neal took the paper between his fingers and there was a tiny ripping] sound, but it stopped in a second, j for Jim caught Neal's wrists in his | hands, crying: "No, you don't!

But Jou let me do the tearing up." Neal complied, but a strange glit ter had come into his eyes, and it didn t fade. Jim took the check, tore off his signature, minced it thoroughly, and then applied his fountain pen to the checkbook again. When he finished writing, he looked up and addressed me: "Anne, I'm signing the lease on our new apartment this noon. Meet me at the Walgrave at six, and I'll take you up and show you over the place. Cosby'll join us there, as he's looking over his own diggings, and we'll take him to dinner and a show." "You're not going to sign th% lease before I've seen the apart ment?" I gasped, and as I spoke I noticed how Neal's eyes were fairly glued to Jim's face. "Why not?" It's just right, I tell you. Good neighborhood, hand some building, altogether stunning little place I've picked out. I don't see where your kick comes in. Not every woman jumps from a two room sublet she's been whining to get out of right into a seven-room and two-bath apartment. I might bo the one to kick —over the rental." "That's just it. Jim," I> protested I hopefully. "Maybe I could get more for the same money. And, besides, a woman always loves to pick out her own wall papers and look over the plumbing and the linen closet and the kitchen stove." I "The walls are tinted. And you'll I have a cook."

"Jim likes to have t his own way," j commented Neal. crumpling the I check carelessly into his wallet, j "All the Harrisons do," I replied, mechanically pouring myself an ! other cup of coffee and sipping al j most distastefully the black stuff.

Arthur Bruce looked abstractedly at the salt-cel lar that he was twirling nervously between his fingers. "Have you told Mildred?" Honora broke the silence. "No," briefly. "I am not going to." No one was ever to know what an effort her next speech cost Hon ora, but she made it after only a second's hesitation. "Arthur," she pleaded, stretching out her hand' impulsively, "don't be too hard on Milly! I know she has disappointed you. 1 know that you and she have had some silly quarrel. But she is only a child. Give her a chance to look at things seriously. She is young, and she doesn't understand." "She is within eighteen months of your age," he asserted. "Yes," Honora admitted, "but I am the elder aind I have had to take care of her for years. That makes a difference." Nothing more was said on the subject until the waiter removed the last dishes and brought finger bowls. Then Arthur raised his head and met Honora's frank eyes with a smile. "I am not going to tell Mildred," he remarked suddenly, "because she would not understand. If she has not understood up to now she never will. You see"—with an effort to be humorous —"All is over between us." as they say in plays. "I have told you of how things have worked out becajuse you have been mighty good to me during the hardest time of my life. 1 haven't told Mildred, and 1 shall not. When I needed her most she—my fiancee —shrank from me and mine. Not only that, but .she was flirting and enouraging the attention of another man while my father was dying. One does not forget such things. "I do not want you to think I am bitter," he went on more gently. "I am just a fellow who has beeii HARKISBURG TELEGRAPH 1 ra,tliev suddenly disillusioned. That is all. I shall not see Mildred again, for 1 do not want to put jny self in a position to be hurt any more, and 1 am afraid things are still too recent for her not to be able to hurt me. Do you under stand?" Honora nodded. "Yes," she said softly, "What are you going to do now?" His Plnns I.aiil "Father left more than enough insurance to keep mother in com fort," Arthur informed her. "This government contract will put our firm back on its feet and leave a | big margin for development when the war is over. "Dean—manager of our office — knows as much about the business as I do—more than I do, 1 guess. 1 am going to give him an interest in the concern, and put him in charge of things. Then—as for mo —oh, Honora, thank God I am go ing to war!" So bright and triumphant was his smile that it was almost as if a .brilliant light had been Hashed upon his face. The girl did not return his smile. Her face was very white and her lips quivered and twitched. "You are going to war," she re peated slowly as if trying to grasp the full significance of his declara tion. I'When ?" He gazed at her thouhtfully, curi ously. "You do not look a bit glad 'or. me, Honora," he accused. "X was thinking—of your mother." she said somewhat awkwardly. "Of ouree I am glad—for your sake— that you are going. But you can not expect the women who stay be hind to be as cheerful about it as 3ou men who go. Now can you?" hot- an instant he hesitated. To Honora the restaurant seemed to j have grown suddenly more still than >etore. It was as if every sound in the room separated itself distinctly from every other sound. At a table behind Arthur Bruce and Honofa Brent a girl and her escort—a man in uniform—were Chatting confidentially. Occasionally the man s rather coarse laugh would ring out. The girl's tones were too low to be heard by anyone except her companion. ...J' 1 wond er," Arthur began, softly, if you really" The remainder of what he said, DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS j A DAINTY DRESS FOB MOTHER'S GIRT, 2808 Batiste, voile, charmeuse, satin, taffeta, velvet, serge or gabar dine could bo used for this model The tucks on the slflrt may be omitted.

"Not For Several Days" The musicians were playing a then-popular war song. Persons at nearby tables hummed it. The girl and soldier at the table tychind Ar thur and Honora pushed back their I chairs and rose —the man whistling shrilly the air that the orchestra was playing. ' N Arthur's .waiter was hovering near with the check when the music had ceased. Arthur paid him absent mindedly. "When do you leave Fail-lands?" Honora asked. "Not for several days." he replied. "I have a lot to attend to before 1 ; go. It will be an officers' training j'camp for me for a few weeks, then j a commission. I hope—anil then, 1 hope most of all—France!" Voices in angry dispute sounded behind him. The soldier with the girl was arguing loudly with a waiter, it was evident that lie had been drinking, i "Things are noisy here just now," ' Arthur said, frowning in annoy- I ance. "As soon as that lazy waiter comes back with my change we will S°-" .

(To Bo Continued) Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair I If you want to keep your hair in i good condition, be careful what you | wash it with. I Most soaps and prepared sliam j poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brit tle and is very harmful. Just plain mulsitied cocoanut oil (which la pure and entirely greaseless) is much bet ter than tlie most expensive soap or anything else you can use for sham pooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich creamy lutlier and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly find evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsifted cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very j cheap, and a few ounces is enough j to last everyone in the family for months. Daily Health Talks What Is the Cause of Backache?
