" When a Girl Marries"
By ANN MSLE
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problem of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER CCLVIII
(Copyright, 1919, King Feature Syn
dicate, Inc.)
What Val had just said to me
amounted to this:
"Evvy hates mc because both of
us like Jim."
To face a woman X suspect of an
interest in Jim has never been easy.
Jealousy has always tortured me so
that I look at everything from an
oblique angle, and twist and distort
things out of all semblance to truth.
Throbbing heart and burning eyes
and a feeling of miserable helpless
ness always made me the victim of
my emotions when I had to deal with
a woman I thought attracted to my
husband or attractive to him.
So when Val made her insolent and
shameless declaration it isn't amaz
ing that for a minute I was submerg
ed under dark waters of misery and
distrust. And then suddenly I came
up to sunlight and sanity, I laughed.
Val stared at me through scornful
eyes that widened in amazement as
I replied with what was almost a
chuckle: "Oh, Val, you are funny! I
Instead of hating each other because j
you want Jim's liking, why don't!
you and Evvy turn and rend me be
cause I have his love? That would
be much more in keeping with the
problem-play you seem bent on in
venting."
Val started back at me as it fasci
nated. She moved her lips, but didn't !
speak. I felt myself mistress of the ;
situation because I was mistress of j
myself, and I enjoyed the feeling. I :
went on in the calm, superior tone I j
had elected to take:
"My dear, only his wife or a very |
clever woman can hope to under- ,
stand Jim Harrison. 1 have had the
good luck to be his wife. And some
times I think his sister Virginia and ;
our pal Betty Winston understand !
him. He's the complete cavalier—'
chivalrous to all beauty. But he's I
impersonal in that chivalry, even i
when he's playing the game most I
devotedly And women will misun- j
derstand."

that Jim has made a fool of me, aren't
. you, Anne?" asked Val, her long eyes
fixed on me with an expression I
, couldn't read.
"Pear me—no!" I replied wiUi
studied innocence. "He wouldn't.
He's chivalrous, as I've told you. And
, he'd hate to think that the wife of a
man he respects and likes as he does
, Lane Cosby would ever—well, to quote
you—make a fool of herself—"
Valerie swung out of bed. slipped
her arched feet into little amber silk
. mules itnd llung a robe of green and
amber satin over her chiffon gown.
"Thanks for the hint." she yawned.
"I'll start practicing the wifely de
votion to dear old Lane. And with
Tommy for a side line, I'm sure Evvy
won't think it worth while to dig
around in our family— grave-yard.
Perhaps I can fix it so that hauling j
out of skeleton-in-the-closet won't i
j seem desirable to Miss Evvy."
! I stared at Val for a moment in I
I wonder that a woman could confess I
herself so completely to another |
i woman. Lane Cosby had given me a !
| glimpse into a tragedy at once big'
j and grim and sorbid. And now Val, j
| who had set it all in motion, was I
calmly planning to go on playing
her game with Lane and Tom as I
puppets.
"I'm sure you can manage Evvy !
and Tom, too, perhaps," I said with !
lightness that masked my real mean
| ing: yet I couldn't refrain from add
| ing: "But who is going to manage
i > ou—and see that Lane comes to no
j harm? He's been hurt enough."
"You might look out for Lane—
come, let's go out to him now," said
j Val, with an air of finality. ,
j Five minutes later I left the Cosby
I apartment with a feeling of pity for
) the man and something akin to hatred j
j for the woman. Val was perched on i
! Lane's knee, assuring him of her love )
and that no one could hurt her or j
I make her unhappy while she had her |
j hig, browr. bear. And Lane Cosby, !
j who had only a few minutes before j
| been shuddering on the brink of'
tragedy, was smiling down at the
I woman he adored—smiling and believ- !
i ing himself happy.
! Once at home I sat and adjusted j
' myself to the tangle I had been com- |
■ pelled to thread that evening,
j "A,nne Harrison," I admonished j
j myself. "This Cosby affair has Just ]
| begun. And you seem cast for a '
• part in it —look out or it may be a i
| part you aren't fitted to play. You've ;
, been able to handle both Evvy and
j Val in the last week because you j

j You know that even if he has once J

| over-willing women, neither of them j
means a thing to him now. Jim's

j it. As long as you're -sure of that,

But I wouldn't let myself say even

! A harsh, jangling ring at the door
bell disturbed my thoughts. A
moment later Bertha came in, hold
ing something back of her apron and
assuming a coaxing air that I knew
was meant to mask what she con
sidered bad news.
"Have you had your dinner, Ma'am?"
she asked. "Well then—do please be
letting me get you a bite to eat be
fore you look at this."
"This" proved to be a telegram—
terrifying and full of evil possibili
ties in my kihd Bertha's eyes.
I took it and ripped it open, while
Bertha stood twisting her apron, wait
ing to minister to my needs.
"No bad news " I said, smiling
at the girl gratefully. "And I'm
starved. It must be all of nine. Is
it too late "
"To get you a bite? Indeed 'tis
not, ma'am."
And Bertha vanished in evident re
lief. The clock chimed. 1 looked up
curiously. Ten. Then 1 looked down
at my telegram again. I had not told
Bertha the truth.
It was bad news.

Next War to Break in
Far East, German View
Berlin, July 28. German poli
ticians are intently watching Jap
anese-American relations as re
flected here, in highly distorted
form, in reports of the attitude of
the American Senate and proceed
ings in that body regarding the
Versailles Treaty.
Comment has been muzzled in the
German press, but opinion is al
ready cautiously voiced that the next
world war will start in the Far East.
In certain German quarters the
curious theory has been evolved
that England will have a vital in
terest in playing the United States
and Japanese against each other.
Pan-German argument is that Great
Britain, having eliminated her
strongest rival at sea, Germany, will
henceforth pursue the policy of try
ing to break the next strongest
naval powers, Japan and America.
In this view, Britain can best ac
complish its purpose by looking on
while America and Japan damage
each other's navies in an Eastern
world war, thus leaving Great
Britain's supremacy unchallenged.

Drive to Raise $4,000
For Use in Cleaning Up
City to Begin Soon
The Campaign Committee of the
Allied Bodies organization, which
will raise $4,000 to carry on the
work of making Harrisburg a model
city from the standpoint of health
and sanitation, is preparing to move
en masse upon a list of prospects
who are cited as likely to contribute
toward the fund. The preliminary
work of compiling: the list, and sup
plying the campaign committeemen
with their various lists, has been
pushed practically to completion at
the offices of the Harrisburg Cham
ber of Commerce, and the aggres
sive campaign will begin at once.
The money is to finance the ef
forts of the welfare organizations
which as a result of the permanent
organization formed among their
representatives by the Chamber of
Commerce, are helping in the pro
ject to make Harrisburg a model
city. Child welfare, the establish
ment of health centers in the thickly
congested parts of the city, the elim
ination of the fly and mosquito, es
tablishment of a contagious disease
hospital, and other items are listed
on the program for which the money
is urgently needed.
The fund will supplement the !
$2,400 already contributed by the
women's organizations which have
formed a general child welfare com
mittee with Mrs. Lyman D. Gil
bert, as chairman, the SSOO contri-
by the board of directors of
the Chamber of Commerce, and an
additional five hundred which, it is
hoped, will be contributed by other
organizations.
Donald McCormick is treasurer of
the campaign fund which is being
raised. William Jennings is chair
man of the general health commit
tee, and to-day repeated his request
that Harrisburgers be liberal in their
contributions toward the health
fund. The survey conducted in
Sibletown and South Harrisburg by
the women of the Survey Committee
acting in conjunction with nurses of
the Visiting Nurse Association and :
State Health Department has laid
bare such deplorable conditions in
these thickly congested districts,
that the need of health centers is
thoroughly demonstrated.

Japan Urged as Receiver
to Return Stolen Property
Washington, July 28. Within
forty eight hours an announcement
is expected through official chan
nels relating to Japan's attitude to
ward Shantung, which, it is thought,
will have a distinct effect on the
Senate opposition to the award to
the Mikado's Government of rights
in the Chinese peninsula by the
Peace Conference. The announce
ment. it is understood, will come
from the Japanese Embassy here, or,
failing that, from President Wilson.
Administration Senators, leading
the tight for ratification of the
Treaty, understood to-day that the
strongest pressure had been brought
to bear upon the Japanese Embassy
to issue an official statement that
would clear up any doubts as to
Japan's intention to relinquish its
rights on the Shantung Peninsula
within a reasonable time, thus re
moving one of the chief points of
objection raised against the Shan
tung award.
The Japanese Embassy is reported
to have got into touch with Tokio
within twenty-four hours. The acute
situation arising out of the Shantung
provision, which has become the
storm-center of attack in the Sen
ate, is understood to have been com
municated to the Mikado's Govern
ment, together'with something more
than a ijiplomatic suggestion that
an expression of Japan's interest in
its future control of the Chinese
peninsula be made known.
The Treaty provision dealing with
Shantung stipulates that Germany
renounced in favor of Japan:
All the rights, title and privileges
—particularly those concerning the
territory of Kiao-Chau, including
railways, mines and submarine
cables which Germany acquired
by virtue of the treaty concluded by
her with China on March 6, 1898,
and under all other arrangements
relative to the province of Shantung.
All German rights in the Tsing
tao-Tsinan-fu Railway, including its
branch lines, together with its sub
sidiary property of all kinds, sta
tions, shops, fixed rolling stock,
mines, plants and material for the
exploitation of the mines.
The German submarine cables
from Tsing-Tao to Shanghai and
from Tsing-Tao to Chefoo, with all
the rights, privileges and properties.
All property owned by the Ger
man Government in the territory of
Kiao-Chau.
Germany was required to turn
over to Japan within three months
from the coming into force of the
Peace Treaty all the title-deeds and
documents of every character re
luting to the territory taken over
by Japan.
Nowhere in the Treaty was there
any stipulation as to how long
was to remain in possession
of the rights transferred to it. This
is the feature of the Treaty that has
been most attacked.
Pinchot's BandlT
Due Tomorrow
Gifford Pinchot will be here to
night to take charge of his personally
conducted conference of Progressive
Republicans which is scheduled for
to-morrow afternoon, but no one
seems to know as yet just who will
be here and of what weight will be
the men in attendance. Some of the
men most active in the progressive
cause several years ago are said to
have sent word that the.- are going
to be busy and that they cannot at
tend.
The impression seems to be gain
ing ground that the conference will
be primarily to find out how a boom
for Pinchot for Senator next year
would take, although this will' be

1917, which Germany rejected. M.

statement to Marcel Hutin of the

that Mayor Broening of that city,
would arrive in Harrisburg with his

the recent public improvements. It
