HI Re&diivf aivd all ilve j|Pj| " When a Girl Marries" By AN\ LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife (Copyright, 1919, King Feature Syn dicate, Inc.)- "Hunches" or premonitions are out of my line. Yet it was a "hunch" that impelled* me to agree . to lunch with Tom Mason and Dick West. When Jim had his final interview I with Dick West the interview that led to severing their business relations he had been compelled to break bread with the man in or der to make sure of that elusive person. That had been for Fhoebe. Surely I musn't hesitate to make similar distasteful arrangements for Jim's sake. Of course, I didn't trust Tom Mason, even protesting that he wanted to serve Jim. More over, there was always the chance that West might actually persuade him to try to put something over on Jim. If my lunching with the two fine gentlemen would militate against this, it was distinctly worth • while to be present. So I put my personal reactions to the two out of my mind and went to learn West's plot against Jim and Tom's reason for warniflg me of it. When I got to the appointed meeting place I found Tom waiting alone. "Of course, 1 might have known," I said to myself, and some of my scorn for his clean trick showed in my face no doubt, for Tom replied as if I had spoken aloud: "I made the appointment fifteen minutes later with West than with you. Donna Anna. Partly, as I must * confess, because I wanted to snatch a few moments with you from Fate, i But—unflattering as it would seem to most women more because I want West to come in and find us together in this nice green tapestry lobby.' My suspicions took atiame from I that. But I practiced restraint fori a moment and Tom's next words made me glad I had done so. "I don't mind my reputation, i where women are concerned —since with or without it 1 never had a : chance to mean —anything to you. j be continued. "But, by Jiminy, 1 do j cherish my business reputation! It's a reputation for integrity, and I've done as much to earn it as I have to •. S merit the other, the one you have always suspected—that of taking my , run where I find it, as our friend | Kipling has sung." "Why do you tell me this?" I i asked curtly. Tom turned to me with a sin- 1 ceritv I couldn't question, even j though I so heartily disliked its in spiration. "Why do I tell you that I'm a devil among the ladies?" h< asK 1, with a bitter laugh. "Bee; J.-< I —j 1 was different in any feeling for > ou. They were—decent. Of course, you couldn't see that. You have the old- - fashioned viewpoint that wtv n a ! ' woman marries she ceases to be a woman to other men and be- i comes merely a wife. _ All right, IJ respect that, but only because I j have to, as I'm ready to confess. | Even so. I don't want you to think i the feelings I bad :'or you were ■ tawdry or fickle. 1 don't want you to think that if I turn to another: woman, she means to me what you might have meant. Now my cards ; are on the table Things are clear! Detwcen us. I've ti-'en up hoping you'll evet care for me. And I'm not going to permit myself to care j # for you that way. But I can't, stop respecting you and wanting to j be your friend." "Tom Mason," I said with a eer- ! tain respect for his honesty, even I though his attitude toward women j and love and marriage was com-1 pletely repellant to me.

It makes me understand , why you asked me to meet you to " day." J I "You see that?" Tom cried. "Yes. Dick West has approached 1 you with some business proposition . ! that might work Jim great harm. . | You've asked Jim's wife to be here , j as witness to your unwillingness to J. be part of that scheme. And you've : planned to surprise West with" her. , ! so he will see your friendly loyalty J to the Harrisons and your scorn of ; ! his plans. Is that it?" . i "Part of it," replied Tom dryly. | l "You get as much of it as you choose , i to see." j "What more?" I began, but he ! interrupted in a completely busi ; | nessllke tone: [ "Now we'll go into the dining j , room. West will be here In five 1 minutes, and 1 told him to ask the i captain for my table. That ar- : rangenn-nt will make his astonish- 1 ment at seeing you all the greater, . I and will probably scare him into I ; giving up his plots against Jim." | "Or revealing them," I said. "It! I was just that idea that brought me here. I think it's wiser to risk ' ; | criticism, because I am here, than j ito let a scheming enemy hatch, ! plots that might ruin by husband." i ; "I understand precisely why you I i came:" said Tom. "But I don't 1 think Mrs. Grundy will criticise you for lunching with two men, espe-I ciallv when one of them is praeti-f j cally in your family." Five minutes later Dick West fol- j j lowed the captain to our table. | 'For a minute West stood staring at ' us. Then he sat down, with an ugly j sneer on his lips. I "What's the big idea," he de- i i manded. without further greeting, | j "The big idea?" replied Tom. "is | | that this town is so full of Jim | I Harrison's friends that you never i can tell when you're stumbling | across them. I'm one of them it J i happens, though, you didn't seem I Ito guess it. I invited Jimmie to ; meet you here. West—but he was j too blooming busy to come. And he sent Anne instead." West turned on me with a snarl, j "You've made me plenty of trou- i l ble, young lady," )ie said. "What are i ! you hiding up that graceful sleeve I | of yours now?" j There was menace, hatred and | j threat in his attitude toward me. j j But 1 ignored him and took my cue J from Tom: i "1 had your number from the first,. i Mr. West. That's why I'm here in Jim's place to-day. You see Jim's: loyal friends give us immediate | warning of any deal that is likely I ; to affect us." , "You've double-crossed me!" cried ' ! West turning on Tom with a snarl. "1 made you a legitimate stock ! proposition for a flotation that might | have made our fortunes. And you 1 act as if the whole idea had been to j : depress the market against the Har- I rison holdings. It's absurd. Mason." 1 I "It would be absurd to try to treat i I the market to a break just where i ] Jim is interested," -replied Tern ■ j gravely. "Well, do we eat?" "That's what we're here for j isn't it?" asked West. Tom smiled in triumph. He was | sure that he had the man completely I cowed, since after he had been j l browbeaten and threatened, he would still remain to lunch. 3ut I i saw something else in Dick West's 'attitude. Tenacity of purpose the! i world-famous and world-scorned at- j ! titude of the peddler who. when { kicked out of one door, comes back i I through another. And I wondered I ; to whom he would go next time he j j planned Jim's undoing. ; To Be Continued Bringing Up Father Copyright, 1918, International News Service - Bp McMani I lIWELL-VOO HI far k " HERE-wecanoowhat pp® TO AV ~ZZ W* OwL 7M "o ' HAVE TO BE frf T^l.^ oni n HOW DO Isss v/ E LIKE AND r—- > it n,c e nt jKp r Jp •* Jj| THE LOVE GAMBLER By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER XXXVII. (Copyright 1919 Starr Co.) 1 "Excuse me, my clear, for bossing! j your chauffeur." Helen Goddard said ! ' after she had given her excited' 1 directions to David. j These directions had not been fol- , | lowed, however, until his employer's, I daughter had seconded them by.—! "Yes, Smith.—drive anywhere vou! I think best. Only let us get there j j as soon as possible." Then Desiree had leaned back and | j gazed straight ahead. She was more , j agitated by the turmoil about her j j than she would admit. ! For the streets and avenues were i rapidly tilling with people. All were j excited numbers of them were I j laughing; some of them were cry ! ing. j "Desiree, 1 apologized to you just j now," Helen said. I Desiree tried to smile, but her lips twitched nervously. "Oh, —did j you? What did you say?' Ah, yes—j | I remember—something about Smith ; wasn't it?" | "I only asked your pardon for giv- | : ing him an order." "That's all right," her companion! ' rejoined absent-mindedly. ! "Y'ou see," Helen tried to explain, ; I "he is so different . from a regular' chauffeur that I answered his sug- i gestion as to where we should go j I just as if he had been a man I . I really knew. I should think you j i would forget that he is an employe, j j He has such lovely manners that he : is a real puzzle to me." I "Do not let him puzzle you too j I much," Desiree advised dryly, j "Really, while Smith's manners are, ! good, he is hardly such a wonder" |as your comments would seem to | indicate." I I "Well, I am sure there is some- | thing mysterious about him," Helen j • Goddard declared. "X made up my \ mind to that some time ago. 1 won ! dered then if you had noticed it." i "Noticed what?" J "Oh—only that he has an air j about him," Helen replied. I "Most people have an air of one ! kind or another about them," was the non-committal answer. I Then both girls lapsed into silence Helen was chiding herself for hav- | ing discussed the chauffeur with her i j friend. The romance she had built 'up about him as -a person with a , i mysterious past was all her own. . ! she had determined not to mention | ; her suspicions to her friend. Not | | only did she shrink from j ) ridicule, but if Smith was, as Helen ' fondly hoped, "a reformed some | body trying to keep straight" it i would not be kind to suggest this to j his employer. ! Desiree's silence was due to the i fact that her heart was so full of j the meaning of the signing of the i armistice that she scarcely dared i allow herself to speak. There was i a lump in her throat and a tugging l at her heart-strings. David DeLaine, on the front .-eat, j driving a rich man's car slowly I through crowded New York streets, j was conscious of little except his I own seething thoughts. Almost me i chanically he piloted the big limou sine, regarding strictly the traffic regulations. All about him were laughing, shouting. singing crowds. But i above and beyond them he was see-, ing another picture. He was once moro overseas, driving an ambul ance with wounded men in It. He heard again the screech and roar of bursting shells— , "Stop!" A policeman's voice rang out. "You can't drive a bit farther, my man," the officer declared. "If you - ant to get farther down you'd better get out and walk." Desiree leaned forward. "He's right. Smith," she said impulsively. "Draw your car up on one of the side streets and we'll walk the rest of the way." When David had obeyed her or de's, oho spoke again. ' heave the r'.gs in the car and lock the c.oor. i'o i will want to see the crowd, too. We will go down | Fifth avenue on foot Miss God dard and I. You may go where you please end meet us here later." "Thank you," he replied courte ously. He still felt like one in a dream. But through that dream he saw the dark eyes of the girl who was in his charge. "I will walk behind her and Miss Goddard," he resolved. "It's too rough a crowd for her to go about alone." When the pair in front of him reached the avenue, he saw them pause. The human stream flowing, up and down the broad thorough fare was almost appalling in its strength. A man whom Helen Goddard knew addressed her. "Come with me," he urged. "I have a window here in a hotel—and my mother and sister will be there too." Then, as Helen introduced him to Desiree, he included her in his in vitation. "Won't you come too. Miss Leigh ton?" 1 Desiree shook her head. "Xo, thank you!" she smiled at him. "I prefer to be right among the people" this afternoon. Goodbye!" With a nod, she went on down the street, her slender body swayed and pushed by the jostling throng. She was glad to be among them just now. Here she need not talk. She could just think and be thankful. Yet once she stopped to speak. It was when an elderly womai! in mourning, with a gold star on her arm, passed her. Desiree laid her hand on the mother's arm. "You must feel con secrated," the girl murmured. "He," with a glance at the star, "helped bring about this wonderful day." "God bless you, dear!" the woman whispered, her lips trembling. Then the young woman and the matron were swept apart by the noisy crowd. To Qe Continued Deaths and Funerais MHS. HARRIKT S. McCOLLUM, Mrs. Harriet S.

I TELEGRAPH CITY'S GROWTH SS HELD UP BY BAN ON CHILDREN "Xo Homes Can Be Found For Rent; Apartments Are Closed "Children—a blessing or other wise." While this proposition has been decided in each case in favor of them being a blessing, nevertheless it has been raised and considered, sometimes silently and sometimes I otherwise, in more than a score of families desirous of locating in Har j risburg. All that prevents them from coming here is the fact that | they arc blessed with offspring and i cannot find a house for rent. That this number of families are I prevented from coming to Harris burg because they have children, I is the substance of a statement made I by Mrs. Bessie Boone, housing sec retary of the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce. More .than 60 chil dren are included in the several families. There are a few apartments of fered for rent, but they are re i stricted to families made up entirely iof adults. Xo children are wanted, the would-be-renter is politely in i formed. j Two hundred and forty-six persons I have been referred to suitable living 1 quarters as a result of the activities I of the Housing Bureau of the Har- I risburg Chamber of Commerce, the ; housing secretary reported to-day. ) One hundred persons still are on the waiting list, and every effort I is being made to supply the needs, it was stated. Of the applicants whose needs i were tilled. 150 were men, who were installed in suitable rooms. Twenty seven were women, twentv-eight I were applicants for light "house- I keeping apartments, and thirty were applicants for flats and apartments of three rooms or more. These iig- I ures are for the four-week period j ending to-day. The activities of the Housing | Bureau are receiving wide publicity . through the advertising which is being received by means of slides thrown on the screens of various ! moving picture houses throughout j the city, placards which have been i displayed in prominent places, and newspaper publicity. As a result, 1 epeated applications are received from out-of-town persons, who wish to move here but are deterred for lack of available housing facilities. The efficacy of the Housing Bur eau s activities have been demon strated by the co-operation of local contractors and real, estate men with , the bureau. The information on j record at the bureau, regarding the i types of dwellings most urgently ■ needed, has prosed of such benefit | say these- men, that they avail j themselves of the information in I determining upon their activities in : alleviating housing difficulties. STATE TO ASK CAPITOL BIDS [Continued from First Page.] superstructure but the granite ter races on the west side of the "peo- ! pie's court." The preliminary draw- j lngs and data are vritually complete. The specifications for the bridge will i have to be changed in some details and various matters considered be fore they are finished, but this tvork ! is only a matter of a few days and \ the bids for the two great enter- | prises will be asked at the same i time. Bids For Barracks As soon as changes are made in j the plans drawn by the Depart- ! ment of Public Grounds and Buil'd- j ings for the barracks for the State | Police troops to be located on the . land near the Arsenal, bids will be i asked for this contract. This ad- 1 vertisement may be made inside of a I month. The plans involve scaling I down of specilications so as to bring { the cost within the $75,000 appro- ! priation made by the Legislature j and now available. The State ex- j pects to obtain the title to the land ! transferred by the State Insane Hos- j pital within a few weeks and is I negotiating with the Haldeman es- | tate for a parcel needed to round j out the tract which will face on the | city parkway. The park for Army j trucks used by the Highway De- ! partment is now being graded. This | is near the eastern end of the arse- i nal property. Contracts for the exterior and in- | terior improvements to the new ar- ] senal and the changing of the ar- | senal grounds for which provisions | were also made by the Legislature I will be let this fall. When they are I carried out the arsenal will be fin- j ished and will be one of the strong- ; est and best equipped fireproof ! structures of the kind in the coun- ! try, modern in every respect and j ample for military purposes of the I State for years to come. Mr. Brunner will make some final I changes to details for tire-coping and i other work about the old Capitol Park and this fall it is the hope of the Auditor General to have this work undertaken in conjunction I with the city of Harrisburg whose I officials are ready to do their part on behalf of the municipality. The landscaping of the Capitol Park Extension and the relocation of walks and other features of the old park are matters for the fu ture being dependent upon the grad ing of the extension, but the funds are available. COUNCIL HAS AN OPEN MIND {Continued from First Page.] expert to make a report to the city on the best locations for swimming pools and the best method of pro viding them. "I hve no places In mind for swimming pools," Mr. Lynch con tinued. "I question whether a suit able place can be provided along the river at which a sandy bottom could be maintained because of the strong current, unless one of the city islands would do. But that is what we want the expert to tell us. Sport Is Popular "I have noticed in reports from other cities throughout the countiy the provisions that are made to ac commodate thousands who enjoy swimming and bathing. In this city it is just as popular as anywhere and the right kind of pools and bath houses should be constructed. "The expert who will be selected by Commissioner Gross, of the park department, will probably tour Hie ! cit >" and see where pools could best jbe provided. He may decide that there should not be any along the j river front, which really is a formal i park. There are plenty of places I in the Allison Hill and uptown dis triets where pools could easily be J located. I believe." Thousands Go to River Each year, officials of the pai k | department said, swimming and in'H. ng i k beco " lin S more popuiar in Harrisburg. Annually during tlm summer months thousands go to tho river tor a dip. The two bathhouses I at Seneca street and the Island are i crowded almost daily, while hui.- i dreds more either in their own or hired canoes and boats, cross from of e thc°r?v , ° lsl * nds in the middle ! ot the river and enjoy a swim. I Recently Council passed on first I reading an ordinance authorizing a 1° e ?",A. loan to provide $40,000 ! f bathhouses and a bathing ! finaHv Tn 18 or< * in * nce will ho passed j finallj n a week or two and the I loan will be voted upon at the Xo l vember election. j 1 - HAMMERSTEIX BETTER j _ lIV Associated Press. .
