" When a Girl Marries"

A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problem of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER CCLXV.

"I see by the papers," said Val
Cosby, walking in on me unannounc
ed a tew days after the startling
events at Mason Towers, "that I
Mama and Papa Mason announce |
that the engagement of their daugh- I
ter Evelyn to Mr. Xeal Hyland has j
been dissolved by mutual consent —
or words to that etfect."
I looked up uneasily from the bas- I
ket of Jim's socks I had brought |
into the living-room to darn in the j
bright, clear sunlight of the big |
windows. Val's long amber eyes I
were fixed on me with that unwink- j
ing gaze of Iter's that seemed int- I
ported from the Nile. This was our
very first encounter since that mem- |
arable night when Lane's story had |
been poured out to me in agony. |
And now —in marched an insouciant i
Val, ready for a discussion of my j
brother's broken engagement. I re
plied wearily:
"Oh! so it's in the papers. May I j
see?
"I brought it along in case your j
conservative sheet had omitted it," \
replied Val, handing me a paper, !
foldfed to display the item. And as I
1 read' she sank lazily down on the
couch to which I had neglected to
invite her, and went on in her voice
of cream. So now, of course, brother
is free to go back to his first love."
"Meaning?" I said with frozen
dignity.
"Little Phoebe Harrison," said Val
smoothly. "Oh, don't start or pre
pare an elaborate denial, Anne. Evvy.,
herself told me all about it the time
she asked me to pour at the tea j
that never came off. Rather byway j
of boasting—or to prove to me how |
ruthless she could be. She hinted
as a bit —and then I got the rest out '
of her. I like spicy gossip. But I .
really didn't approve of her methods
and I had to tell her so Maybe I
that's what turned her against me." |
"You didn't approve of her meth
ods?" I gasped, astounded at the I
consummate impudence with which
Val judged Evvy. "You didn't ap
prove of her taking a man away
from another woman if she could."
I wanted to add: "And that wo
man, well, sane, able to make some
sort of fight for her own. While
you stole Lane from an invalid—
a poor insane creature!" But Val's
indolent voice took on a note of j

TUESDAY EVENING,
eagerness and poured out in a sort
of thick torrent before I had a
chance to commit myself by an ex
pression of what I really did think.
"It's shameful for a woman to
I take a man away from another who
| loves him—who has everything to
| give him. I told you once that I
j took what was mine. Any woman
j has a right to that—to the man
j she loves. Love isn't to be denied."
"You think love is the biggest
| thing in the world?" I questioned,
! and then I gasped: "And yet you
] Hirt with every attractive man you
I meet!"
j "You are . frank?" aren't you,
I Anne?" asked Val, eyeing me lazily,
j "Well, I'll be frank, too—brutally
j so. Lane's my man. 1 love him.
i I couldn't see him tied to a living
i corpse. So 1 went after him. Lor
j etta wasn't sane. She was spoiling
his life. He was mine—that's all."
I faced her. There wasn't much
| sympathy in my soul, so none could
I have expressed itself through my
I eyes. I wasn't sure that Val was
i sincere in what she said. And even
, if she was I am too much of a Puri-
I tan to accept a doctrine that Love
justified everything. Val's narrow
Egyptian eyes almost closed as she
sent back a gleaming gaze to baffle
me. But some of the insolence had
gone from her voice when she went
on. She seemed almost to be beg
ging me to understand her.
"You can accept Evvy Masoq,
who just for spite manoevred
(| Neal away from little Phoebe, when
the child loves him and he adores
I her. You don't like Evvy, but you
j think she's 'socially possible.' But
I I, who took my own from a crea
j ture whose mind is dead —I am a
' Parish to you, Anne Mason. You
. think it's a tragedy for Lane to be
tied to a woman like me don't
you ?"
j "Do you love him enough?" I
j questioned, wondering inwardly all
I the while who had appointed me to
be the judge of Val Cosby.
"Enough?" asked Val earnestly.
"Enough for what?"
"To make up to him for his own
conscience—to make up to him for
whatever the world chooses to say."
"His conscience won't bother him
when he sees I'm happy," Val re
plied securely. "What threw my
j big brown bear into a blue funk
! was how I'd take it if I found my
self socially ostracised because a
garbled version of the story got out.
Of course, I wouldn't have liked
that. What's the usg of all Lane's
money if it doesn't land me in New
port or Bar Harbor some day?" '
She sighed luxuriously at the
mere mention of those two magic
making places. And again I found
myself questioning her sincerity,
I wondering whether it was Lane or
Lane's money she loved.
"And now what reassures you?"
I asked, probing mercilessly.
Val laughed. Then she rose and
stood swaying mockingly before me:
"What makes me sure that I
' won't be boycotted?" she said slow
j ly. 'Well, I know the Jimmie Har
risons will stand by Lane. And I
! know Tom Mason will stand by me,
i and handle Miss Evelyn if she isn't
too busy explaining her second
broken engagement to care to take
!on any more trouble. Libel suits,
| for instance."
| "I think you're right," I said
! slowly. "Jim and I know the truth

closes the matter, doesn't it?"
"Yes." yawned Val elaborately.
"Now you quite understand that I'm
as much in love with my Lane as
you are with your Jim, and that
my feelings are to be respected ac
cordingly. And this brings" us back
to where we started.

THE LOVE GAMBLER

CHAPTER XXXIX.
Copyright, 1919, Star Company
The armistice had not been sign
ed and they were still fighting.
Those were the facts that im
pressed Desiree Leighton with an
overwhelming'force. Following as
they did upon the exaltation of the
afternoon, they depressed her to an
extent that moved her father to
compassion.
"Dear child," he reminded her,
"the false news has only preceded
the truth by a few days. The armi
stice will be signed very soon."
"But until it is, our boys are still
dying!" she moaned. "And other
boys will be crossing. Those who
have wanted to get into the fight
before It is over will be more anx
ious than ever to go."
"Yes—but they can't" go until
Uncle Sam lets them," her father
smiled. "And he is not going to let
them go when they are not needed."
"We can't be sure that peace is
in sight," Desiree insisted skepti
cally. "There may t>fe another long,
horrible winter ahead of us—with
heart-breaking sorrows all the
time."
She did not tell her father that
Smith's words of this afternoon
echoed in her ears. It was plain
that he had hoped to go back to
France. He was looking much
stronger than when she first saw
him. His returning health had
probably inspired him with -re
newed hope.
If the war kept up he would go.
She shuddered slightly as she
thought of this man's life in danger.
She tried to explain this shrinking
by the reflection that she would
have felt the same about any nice
American chap whom she had
known. And, of course, Smith was
an exceedingly nice fellow.
"What are j-ou thinking about?"
her father demanded, breaking a
long silence.
"That it is actual cruelty to raise
people's hopes just to dash them,"
she replied.
A Gentle Reproof.
Her father frowned slightly, "See
here, my dear," he, protested, "you
are determined to look on the dark
side of this subject. I am so sure
that the armistice will be signed
that I want you, here and now, to
plan to have a celebration—a din
ner or reception or something of
that sort —on the evening of the day
on which the good tidings come.
Make out your list of guests now."
Desiree laughed tremulously. "I
wish I had your faith, father, dear,"
she remarked.
"Make out your list," her father
insisted.
"Very well," she acquiesced, "only
we may have to wait for many
weeks before the happy event oc
curs."
"You will rvpt have to wait more
than a week," Samuel Leighton pre
dicted. "Come, get out your paper
then call up your friends and teli
them that you want them to keep
for you the evening after the sign
ing of the armistice."
He was so confident that he im
parted confidence to his daughter.
Gradually her equanimity returned
and she planned the little informal
reception they would soon have

until we secure a maid in Norah's
place," Desiree remarked.
"When does she leave?" Mr.
Leighton asked.
"To-morrow, Desiree told him. "It
is high time I was looking up a new
waitress. I Will attend to it to
morrow."
The following morning Miss
Leighton paid Norah and told her
that she might take her departure
as soon as she had finished her
usual tasks. She herself would set
about immediately securing the
maid's successor.
Ordering the limousine brought
around, she drove downtown to an
employment agency. Here she was
informed that she would best wait
for a while as some applicants
might appear at any moment. Maids
were scarce and difficult to secure
just now.
As Desiree waited, trying to be
come interested in an old magazine
she picked up from the office table,
the thought of her amethyst pen
dant suddenly thrust itself into her
nund.
A" Order For Norah
She recalled that she had intend
ed to take it and the chain to the
jewelers and that the box had lain
se^ ral days 011 her dressing
table. She wished she had thought
to bring it down this morning.
h a ?° u S the door ,she summoned
her chauffeur from the waiting car
rlrh m h th V u She directed ' "please

give you the jewelry case with my
pendant and chain, which I left in

Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
A Promising Suitor
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 23, an orphan, and know a
man 29 who wants to marry me. and
who is in a position to support wife
and home. I have known this young
man all my life. He is a sober, in
dustrious young fellow, with three or
four thousand dollars to his credit in
the bank, and is very anxious to
marry; as he is also an orphan with
out a home. His salary is $45 per
week. My friends all say I am very
I foolish to let a good thing like this
! slip by. I have a number of young
| men friends,, but none able to sup
port a wife. In Washington, at the
present time, is a young man who
also wants to marry me, but Is no
way able to support a wife.
M. H.
My dear girl, you seem to have
wholly overlooked the fact that the
most important thing in marriage is
love and not prospects. If you are in
love with the young mail who sounds
so promising, by all means marry him,
but don't think of it if you don't
really love him. I make this sug
gestion because your letter does not
contain one word as to your feelings,
only what these young men could and
could not do fdr you. Let your heart
decide this question.

Thorly decided on a photograph of
himself and their only son, Alger

I his father standing behind him.

PARTED LOVERS
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been engaged to a young
man for some time. Now there is a
misunderstanding between us. Now
could you tell me how long after he
stops coming to my house before I
should consider myself free?
ANXIOUS.
You are free at any moment that
you choose to declare yourself so.
If an engagement still exists between
you. and you wish to break it
definitely, you can write the young
man a simple note asking him to re
lease you.
But if you are separated by a
"misunderstanding" merely, isn't
there a good chance of a reconcilia
tion? And wouldn't you' rather
"make up" than regain your com
plete freedom?
