UPPj " When a Girl Marries" • By AN.\ LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CCLXXX Copyright, 1019, King Feature Syndi cate, Inc. Orinning unpleasantly, with his dark mouth twisted even more than was natural, Dick West advanced upon me with a jeering, scornful bow. "Isn't it pleasant and friendly of me to follow you home for a cosy little visit like this, Mrs. Jimmie?" he asked. "Aren't you going to ask me in?" "Why did you follow me?" I asked, controlling a voice that wanted to tremble and leaning heavily against the door to take the weight off my my throbbing ankle. "To talk to you. fair lady. Who wouldn't?" he replied smoothly too smoothly. "Aren't you going to ask me in for a pleasant tete-a-tete? I think wo can come to terms while hubby and his new chum Tom Mason arc dining at the hotel and waiting for Richard to show up." "I am most certainly not going to ask you in," I said steadily, hoping that Dick West wouldn't find out that I had no way of getting into my apart ment even if I wanted to. "And if Jim and Mr. Mason are waiting for you at the hotel, my friendly advice to you is —beat it. Hurry down there before they begin to get annoyed." "Are you trying to get rid of me?" he frowned. "That's foolish. The ele vator isn't running and I'm not in the mood to walk down all those flights. No, you don't!" he concluded roughly, anticipating my intention as I started toward the elevator shaft. The hammering and pounding that was already going on made it hopeless for me to shout, but if once I could get my finger on the bell and ring insist ently enough perhaps I would be able to arouse suspicion, and someone might come up the stairs to see what I wanted. "Now be a little more friendly you can afford to be," said Dick West in a voice at once wheedling and threatening. "You haven't been a bit nice to me heretofore, but I think I'm going to be able to persuade you to treat me a little better from now on. Say, why don't we go in and talk this over? Ring the bell." "I don't care to," I said evenly. "No? Then I will." Dick West pressed his finger to the button. I could hear the bell peal through the apartment, but, as I had known there was no answer. "Oho—maids out?" he said at last. "Well, that's all right. Give us the key. We can talk more sociably with out anyone butting in on us." "I haven't my key," I said, with something very like a prayer of thanksgiving. "Oh haven't you, now?" he taunted. "Here, give us your purse and let's see. You may like standing out in this blooming little entry way —but I could do very well with a nice chair and you opposite me, little Anne. He snatched my bag as he spoke and went through it with fumbling fingers that missed nothing. Standing there in oold fury, with my ankle sending twinges of agony through my whole body, I felt as if I'd like to throttle Dick West for the insolent indecency with which he handled everything in my bag. I forgot to be afraid, but fear stirred again as he flung the bag at me with a muttered curse. His manner was so uncontrolled, so full of furious menace that I hardly recogrized in this wild-eyed creature the once suave man I had known. I wondered what had come over him and then with terrifying certainty my biain supplied the clue. Drugs!

I didn't know whether his presence there in the hall way, where I was powerless to escape him, was a worse menace to him or to me. 'Just how did you happen to find mr. at home?" I asked, searching my mind for the right thing to say. "Oh, I was waiting around Mason's house for something to drop and then you dropped right down from the sky," he replied, grinning craftily. "I picked up a taxi and followed your trail. Thought I might be able to make a clever woman like you see sense where men would be fools enough to fight. No use in Mason and Jim trying to freeze me out in this game. I've' got all the trumps now. Does my story interest you strangely?" "It interests me," I replied as stead ily as I could. "Go on." "You've stood in my 'light before, little girl. Now we'd better under stand each other and be friends. You stole Phoebe from me. Give me a kiss and I'll forget about that." My heart fluttered and sank. But smilingly I ventured a placating re sponse. "Business first, Mr. West. If you want me to be on your side hadn't you better give me the facts before Jim comes?" "Righto! Little cutie is some busi ness woman. Well, it's like this. I've started promoting some oil stock. Maybe we have the wells. Maybe we haven't started drilling yet. But our claims are located near the district where the fellows Jim's working for are located. Now Jim and this Mason chap are too darn suspicious. They want to investigate my properties. And I'm not ready for that yet. Making money for the first time since you per suaded Jimmie to chuck me. Now you persuade him to give me time. If you don't, how will you explain this tete a-tete of ours to-night? If he doesn't see reason, how's ho going to stop—the damaging stories about his friend Crosby that I'm in a position to circu late? t And if I give Crosby away and he ducks from town Where's Jim going for a backer?" "It's ail too much for me." I said, trmporizing, praying that Jim would come and put an end to my agony, mental as well as physical. I don't quite understand. I'm not much of a business woman, you see." "You're not?' sneered Dick West. "You are a business woman and a star as well as a littie beauty, for all you look so pale and tired. Now give me a kiss to seal the bargain, and we'll come to an amicable agreement where you call off ;he dogs—hubby and Tom. If you don't, kid—if you don't, I'll get you as sure as fate. What say? Do I get my kiss and a chance to cop a few dollars from poor simps who are crying to have it taken away from them? Or do Jimmie and Annie and Lane and his Yal all go down in the dustheap together? Two minutes, kid. Think lively. It's up to you to decide, and decide right. Two minutes. One hundred and twenty seconds. Fifteen of 'cm gone already!" (To Be Continued.) German Police Dogs Being Brought Over Paris, Aug. 23. America will he overrun with German police dogs if the dog-catchers at the ports in the United States where the return ing troops land do not put an em bargo on the German product. All the soldiers and marines from the Rhine districts bring police dogs to Paris. Officers, doughboys and girl workers with the army lead them through the Paris streets. The American troop trains passing through Belgium and Luxemburg on their way to French ports all carry a great assortment of the German canines. Red Cross workers, Young Men's Christian Association workers and members of the Young Women's Christian Association have been won over by the German police dogs and are taking them back to America. Most of the canines have pedigrees showing that their grand father was a wolf. They are all grey, about the size of a shepherd dog with the pointed nose and sharp erect ears of a wolf.

Smith?" The chauffeur tried by a mighty effort to bring his mind back to the instructions Miss Leighton was giv ing him. He had been thinking how beauti ful she was ae she stood before him in her evening gown, a strin j of pearls about her fair throat, the color coming and going in ler cheeks. He wished in a vague way that* her amethyst pendant had been ready for wear this evening. It would have been pleasant to feel that she was wearing something that had been hie aunt's. It would seem like a slight link between him and this girl who was so far beyond him. He wondered what Samuel Leigh ton had been saying about him that, had caused her to take the other side of the argument. She had been pleading in his favor. The knowl edge made his head feel light and excited him strangely. "I—l—beg your pardon!" he. stammered in renly to her query. "I—yes, Miss Leighton—l think I understand." "You are to have a large lump of ice in the bowl and pour the punch with the fruit in it directly on the ice a half-hour before it is needed," she said. "I understand," he bowed grave ly. "And you wish me to serve it?" "Yes—unless you would prefer my asking one of the other gen— I mean unless you prefer not doing it." "I prefer doinfl just what you wish me to do, Miss Leighton," he replied. "I am here to be of serv ice to you." The pair were alone in the dining room and she raised her eyes to his. "I believe you mean that," she murmured. There was a wistfulness in her tone that made him say abruntlv: "You are troubled about some thing. I wish I could help you. Can I?" A Confession She followed a swift impulse as she said—"lt is about my pendant." "Your pendant?" he repeated. "Yes—the amethyst pendant. Oh, I am sure you know absolutely nothing about it!" He was silent. Did she suspect that he had seen the pendant years before she became its possessor? "You don't—do you?" she in sisted. He must answer. He chose his words with care, as one walking ui the dark takes a cautious step foi w*ard. "I know it belonged to a dea. friend of yours—and that she left it to you." he began. ' "How did you know that?" Oo slree demanded quickly. His wits worked very fast. Ho had been near making a great mis take. "You told me as much," he re minded her. "That is, you told me —when I found the pendant in the. car and returned it to you—that it had belonged to some one who cared for you." "Oh, yes; so I did!" she exclaim ed. "And your returning it to me only proves" She stopped shore "Proves what?" he asked curious- Daily Dot Puzzle 17 if •21 2Z 16 • TO • * it , • 5* 3 * J 5 *24 & ? ? * *25 • •* " '4* " I o # • 2b * vs 8 7 6| • •*> . 2*. 17 44 •Si 60 4 C •3Z 4s • 53• •33 • 4t> •34 z * 58* * •47 •35 4i . 57 • •48 •4o • 35 55* \ 37 55 " 38 W. 53- 51 St. * - Draw from one to two and so on to the end HABRISBTXRG TEI.EGKAPH ly. Her perturbation amazed him. "Only," she said vaguely, "that you knew it was mine." He was sure she was not voicing her thought. Yet his next speecli did not betray this fact. "Yes. I knew it was yours," iic said lightly. "It was in your car, you know." "Yes," she admitted, "but on that day you had driven Miss Goc'i dard" She got no further, for a gay voice interrupted her. Helen God dard had come into the dining room. "Who is taking my name lightlv upon profane lips?" she demandcS gayly. "Mrs. Duffield said I would find you in here. "Good evening. Smith!" with a roguish smile at the man. "I sea you are acting the part of butler to-night. Well, Miss Leighton is in luck to have you. An Offer Accepted "I say, Desiree, my dear, why not let me turn in to help you? Mrs. DufTleld just told me the trouble you have been having to get some one to serve things this evening. I know how you want things done, so if you are bflsy with your guests !et Smith come to me for instruc tion. won't you?" "Thank you, dear," Desiree re plied. She was too much confused to raise any objection to this sugges tion. Indeed, she felt suddenly re moved that Helen was present to lester. the complications of the situ ation. Helen always kept her head, whereas she, Desiree Leighton, was dazed by her recent conversation with her father, by her own cer tainty of Smith's innocence, and most of all by.the effect upon her self of his looks and manner. Her heart was beating fast, and she wanted to run away and cry all alone. What did all this mean? Was she going to make a fool of herself over a man whom she scarcely knew— and that man her father's chaur feur? She laid her hand on Helen's arm. "Thank you, dear," she repealed. "I have been a bit disturbed as ..o how I could be in the drawing room, or at the table with my guests, and yet see that all was going well iu the pantry. Annie is not very com petent. Smith will do his best. But he is," with an effort at a smile, "new at the game of butlering." "I will give him points when it's time to serve the eats," Helen as sured her. "He'll get on all right; won't you, Smith?" David answered respectfully. "I hope so." Helen flashed a glance at him as she followed Desiree from the room. In the hall she detained her host ess for a moment. "I declare, De siree," she said, "he's so handsome and charming you are wise to keep him in the pantry. If he were to come out here some girl would grab him as the most eligible party of tlic evening!" (To Bo Continued) Executive Flim-Flam Hurts U. S. Beanmen Washington, Aug. 23.—That the Administration has succeeded in keeping secret for six months the fact that an investigation was con ducted last February into the mo tives surrounding the purchase of thousands of tons of oriental beans for army and European relief pur poses, instead of American-grown beans which were produced in enor | mous quantities at the Government's urgent request has been revealed to the Senate and House Committees on Agriculture by G. A. Turner, president of the California Bean Growers' Association. "Undue inlluence was used in persuading the Government to buy these oriental beans," said Mr. Turner, "with the result that more than half of the California crop has had to be sold at a loss." Mr. Turner cited this incident as illustrative of the evils growing out of the drastic powers conferred up on the Administration during the war. He said that it was hoped that these powers would not be renewed. "I believe that the less restraint we have upon production and sales the better the country will be," he concluded, "although we all favor legislation which will crush the profiteer."

Hoffman was thrown down and tram pled upon, only being saved when Charles Walton, an employe, heard his cries and drove the animal away with , a forle Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax The other evening, on a Fifth Ave nue bus, I happened to be an unwill ing witness of a tragi-comedy that might have been called. "How to Lose a Beau." The heroine of the comedy was verry pretty in a frail, pallid sort of way—her too white skin suggested a gardenia, or a white hyacinth, it was so smooth and fine, so utterly devoid of color. She was very smart and modish, and her eyes were well worth a second look. But alack and alas, the moment she opened her mouth, the illusion van ished. For she belonged to what might be called the "I sez" school of conversationalists and she grated on the ear like a file. The young man with her was of the nervous highly strung American type whose clothes suggested good care rather than quality. Y'ou would have picked him lor a winner, the length of a city block. The sort of young man who is taken into the firm at $lB a week and climbs steadly. He was proud of the girl, he enjoyed the little stir her appearance caused when they entered the bus. His eyes dwelt appreciatively on her clothes which some unerring instinct of taste had made her select most happily. But her good taste stopped with her clothes. No one had ever told her that "a low sweet voice is an excellent thing In woman. Htr's was off the bur gain counter and it was hardly worth taking home. ller Ho lighter Too Well Raised She began her monologue with: "It's fierce the way she nags.

' Tt did not fit into the picture, such a radiant vision of delicacy and whiteness oughtn't to be talking of kitchen sinks and unwashed cups. A short-storv moon was shining in the heavens. It was a night made for levers and midsummer madness, and here was the prettiest girl chattering of the most sordid things in a voice and accent that had no business in private life at all. Its place was on tne vaudeville stage, where it would have been worth SIOO a week at least. Come Out of the Kltelien.
