    " When, a Girl Marries"
By ANN tISLK
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problems of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER CCXXIX
(Copyright, 1919, King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
Ever since that noon when I sat
with Neal ansl Pat and Carlotta i
at the Olinsarge and heard of tlie i
birth of the Dalton-Sturges Corpor
ation, I've known that some day 1
would have to tell Jim about it.
Often I've rehearsed the scene in i
my mind, and imagined myself sit-;
ting across the table from Jim after)
a particularly good dinner relating
the circumstances smoothly, logical- j
ly, convincingly. Jim's mood must j
ho just right—receptive, so 1 could;
influence hint to see things from a;
practical viewpoint.
1 meant to take my own good time ,
about telling Jim. And when I did j
tell him. 1 expected to justify my!
long silence by the triumph of my,
diplomacy.
But now Jim had forced the bare I
fact from inc. Forced it from me at;
the particular moment when it was j
ieast advantageous, least diplomatic j
harder for me to read and under
stand. How could I hope to manage |
this situation when 1 hadn't been
able to persuade him to let me man- ;
age the other situation—N'eal's en -1
gagement to Evvy?
Jim looked domir/ant, stubborn j
and dangerous. I Couldn't under- ]
stand him in such mood. He seemed t
a stranger to me, and not the ro- (
mantic, fiery, impractical war-hero
I had pursued from the first moment.
I saw him.
But as he stood looking at me;
across the chair he had swung be-;
tween us, it flashed through ray
mind that if only I kept my head,
now, I could effect a compromise—i
make Jim sec things at least partly j
my way.
Since I said that one pregnant:
sentence, "N'eal's with the Dalton- j
Sturges Realty Corporation," no
word had come from Jim.
A minute or two passed while my j
thoughts whirled along and 1 1
waited for Jim to say something,;
anything—rather than stand there
staring at me as if he were forcing,
himself to a verdict. At last he j
repeated my words slowly, one at j
a time:
"So. Tour brother's with the!
Dalton-Sturges Realty Corpora- j
tion."
"Yes, Jim. But let me explain," I]
replied eagerly.
Jim smiled and waved me to a |
chair. I didn't like his stmile and;
1 was astonished when I found my
self obediently sitting down. I

of
fgjjfz Moths '
There are three species of
clothes moths which have made
their appearance in great num
bers this year. The finer types
attack all sorts of clothes. It is
better to have your clothes dry
cleaned by us by our modern
process and then put them away
in moth proof inclosures until
next Fall.
Our dry cleaning process will
kill the moths and eggs which
might perhaps be in your gar
ments. Then you will have them
fresh and free from moths next
Fall.
Send for us at once and we
will do your work promptly.

MONDAY EVENING,
"How long have you known this?"
Jim demanded, in a low, even voice.
"Ever since it happened. Two
weeks ago, 1 guess."
"And why—knowing my previous I
interest in Neal, apart from the fact j
that he is my wife's brother—.
haven't you seen (it to telt me?"
"I didn't think the time had!
come, Jim. I thought it best to;
wait," 1 murmured- almost sheep
ishly, as the situation began to slip :
away from me.
You didn't think the time had;
come?" repeated Jim still with liisl
remote air of being my judge rather;
than my husband. Then his voice!
changed, deepened and rang out ae- j
custngly:
"When we met Pat and Co.r'otta
that night in my office building and
1 felt that their being together was,
—an Insult to Jeanie, you knew'.';
Neal was with them then?"
"Yes, Jim," I said frantically. :
"Stop cross-questioning me and let 1
me explain."
"I shall be glad to have you ex-'
plain," said Jim, in a broken voice. I
"1 couldn't say anything that
night. I was-so intent on having
you save Phoebe from Dick West
that I didn't want to complicate
'matters. I know you hate Pat —-
; because of Virginia. But I think he
still loves her; I think they love
each other, and I want to bring them
together. I long to,"
"Will you please stick to the mat
ter we're considering," said Jim, a
little wearily. "I'm not in sympathy
with your trying to play Providence
to Virginia, when Pat shows his
preference for a woman of Car-
Lotta Sturges's type."
"All right," I retorted, getting a
little sullen at his indifference to all
my best intentions. "I didn't say
anything about Neal then because I
wanted you to save Phoebe from
Dick West and for Neal, and I
thought"
"You thought," interrupted Jim,
furiously, "that you could run
things me included—to suit your
self! You thought you'd let me have
as much of the truth as I was capa
ble of understanding! As a toss-up
between my judgment and yours
you always prefer your own, Anne.
Keeping the truth from me is de
ceiving me making a fool of me.
I'll not stand for it. Don't you
know I won't stand for it?"
"What are you going to do?" I
cried. After the words were out 1
realized they sounded like a'chal-j

Jim.
"What am I going to do?" he re- !
peated, and I saw how tense his ;
body had become. "1 don't know,
Anne, I don't know. But things have !
come to a sad pass between man and
wife when the woman has no faith
in the man's judgment where his |
nearest and dearest are concerned." !
"It isn't thai," 1 interrupted, ea- ;
gorly. "It's only that I think you '

Jim turned on me with something;
like a snarl. His hands tightened |
on the chair hack. Then he flung it 1
aside and took one swift step for- !
ward, to halt abruptly and fling up i
his hand Jo his head.
"What was 1 going to do?" he'
muttered, Siialf to himself. Then
he dropped his. hands to his side j
and stood with them clenched so,
the knuckles showed white.
"Anne, I don't trust myself," he'
said in a low shaken voice. "I've |
got to get away and think things

Perhaps there I can get some—
perspective on the tangle we're in
—you and your brother, and I and
my sisters. It's a terrible mess. I'd
like to try to work us all clear of it."
"Jim, if you'll only let me show
you," 1 began. Hut Jim interrupted:
"That's why I'm going, Anne. So
you can't ins!|st on showing mo.
So I can see things through my own
eyes. The minute you need me,
send for me and I'll come back.
But somehow I can't think of any
one so self-sufficient as you need
ing me."
Jim swung away and limped from
the room. I sat in silence for a
moment. Then I cried:
"Jim—l need you now. I'm not
self-sufficient Come back!" But
there was no answer.
He was gone.

New Devices For Airplanes
Are Under Experiment
Washington, June 23. —Indestruct-
! ible gasoline tanks, automatic
| cranks and portable hangars are a
I few of the airplane equipment de
! vices which the Army air service's
engineering section is seeking to
perfect. American inventors have
! been asked to assist.
The gasoline tank desired would
withstand "a salvo of fifteen shots
lired at a range of thirty yards, the
ammunition consisting of service,
tracer, incendiary and armor-pierc
ing bullets, without Are resulting."
A maximum weight limit of seven
ty-five per cent, more than the or
dinary tank has been fixed.
An automatic cranker, mounted
on a truck and electrically driven,
is under experiment. Portable
hangars of canvas, of the type now
used, are very unsatisfactory, ac
cording to aviation officials.
Endorses Plan For
Memorial to Men
Who Built Big Canal
Ancon, Canal Zone, June 23.—A
memorial to the engineers who built
the Panama Canal, to be erected in
the form of a building containing
assembly and library and museum
facilities, was endorsed at a meeting
of the Panama section of the Amer
ican Institute of Electrical En
gineers. It is intended to enlist the
co-operation of the national en
gineering societies. It is believed
that a site overlooking the canal
will be granted by the United States
government.

Republican Leaders Plan
Cutting of Expenditures
Washington, June 23. —House
and Senate leaders are deter
mined to do all possible to hold
the appropriations which must
be hurried through in the next
several weeks down to the low
est practicable figures.
While greater reductions
could be made were it possible
to devote two or three months
; to the bills, it is certain that the
cuts in expenditures will be
largo.
The army appropriation bill,
reported recently from the
House military committee, has
been reduced by about $400,000,-
000.
The navy bill will be reduced
below the figure at which it was
reported in the last Congress.
Other important reductions are
to be made.
Australian Copper
Mines Closed Because
Demand has Decreased
London, June 23.—A1l but two of
the Australian copper mines and
smelzers are reported to have been
closed down because of the large
stocks of metal on hand and the
very small demand.
The American Chamber of Com
merce in London reports that this
condition has raised the question in
interested circles in Great Britain
as to whether copper should be im
ported from the United States to
the detriment of' the industry in
British Dominions.
Sixty per cent of the British im
ports of copper last year came from
the United States and only a little
over nine per cent from Australia.
War allocation of shipping space
had a lot to do with this but there
is a feeling in England, that im
ports from the United States should
now be kept down and preference
given to the Australian product. This
would be a further means of reduc
ing Great Britain's adverse balance
of trade with the United States.

Cumberland $16,094.85 and Perry
$9,765.,59, as shares of the State
distribution of $1,142,049.38 for
improvement of township "jdirt"
roads. This will be for 1913 and
1914 and is intended to cover an
annual reimbursement from the
State of fifty per cent, of the total
amount of road tax collected by the
township as shown in the sworn
statement, but it is provided, how
ever, that no township shall receive
in any one case more than S2O per
mile of township road in said town
ship.
By Act of June 3, 1915, the pro
visions of the Act of July 22, 1913,
were suspended until all deficiencies
incurred prior to the year 1915 he
paid by the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. During the present
session of Legislature, an appropria
tion of $1,142,049.38 was made to

provided for making this distribu
tion is for the State Highway com
missioner to certify to the Auditor
General the amount due the respec
tive township'. The Auditor General
then upon approval is required to

urer for payment and the State
Treasurer to pay direct to the Treas
urer of the board of township sup
ervisors. Vouchers are now being

Within the German occupied area
there has been established by the
