" When a Girl "
By ANN I.ISLE
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problem of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER CCLXXXIV
(Copyright, 1919, King Feature
Syndicate, Inc.)
My ankle Kept me housed for only
a few days. Following the new theor
ies, the doctor strapped it up tightly
with adhesive plaster, so the torn
ligaments would be held in place.
He made we walk a little bit each
day in order to keep the bandaged j
ankle from stiffening. As news
doesn't travel very fast among our
friends, I was almost ready to be up
and about again before people found
out that I had been sick. I had a
pretty lonely time of it—and how 1
did miss the wine jellies and cup
custards that woulld have come pour
ing in on the household at home!
So I was particularly glad to see
Virginia when she came dashing in
the very morning that the doctor
pronounced me ready to go out for
a nice drive in the park.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know.
What can I do for you Anne?"
asked Virginia contritely, coming
over to the couch where I lay trying
to get up ambition enough to obey
the doctor and to go out for a drive.
She stooped and kissed me, laying
a wonderful sheaf of late roses in my
hand as she spoke. I tried to keep
down my pUjue and to act like a
grown woman instead of the hurt
child I felt. Jim had been too ousy
to give me any time during the long
day, and after that lirst evening of
kindness Val had disappeared from
my ken, telephoning now and then
to inquire how X was, but too much
immersed in her own concerns to
do more than that.
"It's very sweet of you o come,"
I said, conscious of the absurd trem
bling of my lips.
"Poor kiddie," said Virginia, stoop
ing to kiss me. "Why didn't you send
for me? Phoebe just heard of your
dreadful experience this morning.
Neal's been out of town, you know.
These have been ugly days, haven't
they, dear?"
Virginia's sympathy and under
standing astonished me. And when
it lasted all through the day I could
hardly believe I wasn't running a
fever and imagining things In my <lc
lerium. She stayed with me until
late afternoon and then rushed off
post-haste —to avoid Jim, as I very
well knew.
Hardly had she departed when Car
lotta arrived, bringing some of the
latest books and magazines and a
wonderful box of marrons. And then
Phoebe and Xeal came, plus a big
box of candy and masses of flowers.
When Jim came he found me holding
court..

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
"I wonder if all this excitement's j
good for you," he remarked after the j
last of my guests—Pat, who came |
bringing a big basket of fruit—had i
departed.
"It's better for me than lying here J
all alone for three days was," I said !
meaningfully.
"Why. honey! You didn't want me I
to stay home from business and hold !
your hand, did you?" bantered Jim.
"No, but it's been pretty lonesome,
and 1 had too much time to remem
ber that dreadful interview with
Dick West."
"Poor kiddie, that was a night
mare of an evening! But it's all
over and no harm done—no harm,
that is, as Jong as 1 go down to
business each day and light West.
But there might be some damage
if I sat here holding your hand, as
you doubtless think a devoted hus
band should."
"There was a suggestion of irrita
tion in Jim's voice, though he knelt
by the couch as he spoke and gath
ered me into his arms. But his
caress was automatic instead of
tender.
"To-day wasn't bad at all. It was
nice," 1 said, glad that I could re
assure Jim as to the state of my
feelings, even if it wasn't he who
had brightened them. "Virginia
came and was so adorably sweet
and kind I thought at first I was
dreaming it all."
"When Virginia chooses," com
mented Jiin dryly, "she can be very
charming."
"There was a little girl and she
had a little curl right in the middle
of her forehead, and when she was
good she was very, very good, and
when she was had she was horrid.' "
I chanted adding coaxingly: "But
Virginia would be sweet always if
only she were nappy, Jim. And don't
you think she'd be happier if you
were to phone and thank her for
her kindness to me?"
"Perhaps. But that theory isn't
going to be tested," replied Jim,
curtly.
"Please, dear," I persisted. "Please.
There's a very special reason why
you should. Maybe you haven't
stopped to realize it, but Jeanie
doesn't know yet that Put has
bought the old Harrison place and
put it in her name. She ought to
know."
"Who's going to tell Iter?" asked
Jim.
"You—you. of course, dear," I
said quietly, twining my arm
tightly around Jim.
He ttung me off and got to his
feet, limpihg slowly over to a chair
on the other side of the room. His
face worked and his eyes seemed to
he looking on bitter fruit.
"I wanted to buy the old place
myself, you know." he said, at last.
"Yes, 1 know. But Pat managed
to get it. And he's put it in Jeanie's
name. There's only one thing that
can possibly mean Jim."
"You think" began Jim,
studying me through narrowing
eyes. Then he Hung himself to his
feet, smiling his dear, boyish smile.
"Of course, Pat still cares. And
her bitterness against Neal and
Phoebe's happiness is because slie
doesn't believe a man's love lasts.
When she sees how it is with Pat,
that must restore her belief in love
—and make her happy. Make, her
willing to let the kids be happy,
too. We have you, Virginia have
you just whore we want you. Of
course I'll tell her. Anne. I'll 'phone
and start the reconciliation stuff
this instant."

SAVE DAYLIGHT
BY EARLY START
"Don't Change Clock" and
Everybody Will Be Satis
fied, Glenn Says
Chicago, Aug. 27. —A way out of
the daylight saving difficulty, which,
he believes, will satisfy all concern
ed, is suggested by John M. Glenn,
secretary of the Illinois Manufac
turers' Association. The plan, ill
short, is to shove business ahead an
hour in the cities where the day
light saving system is favored and
"leave the clock alone."
"There is no reason for any clash
in this matter between the city and
the country," said Mr, Glenn. "The
city people like the plan of shoving
the clock ahead one hour during
the summer months because they
can work to better advantage and
also have an extra hour of daylight
in the evening. The country people
do not like it.
Start Hour Karller
"All that is necessary,he said,
"is for us o start work one hour
earlier and quit one hour earlier, if
some of our big business organiza
tions will take up this plan, it prob
ably can be adopted. Perhaps the
city government would help the
move along by taking action that
would affect Chicago. Other cities
that want the plan could do the
same. The daylight saving plan is
a godsend to many In the cities who
have little daylight for recreation
under the old plan.
"This plan could he adopted by
mutual agreement wherever it is
wanted.
"In my office, for instance, the
hours are from 8.30 to 5.30. If it is
agreed that the extra hour of even
ing is desirable, all we need to do
is to make the hours from 7.30 to
4.30, which is just what we are do
ing now. We do not need to change
tile clock to do this.
Street Cars Affected
"We could agree to adopt tho
changed schedule during the same
months which are affected by the
daylight saving law, or have it stand
all the year, just as we wish. By
this plan the city and the country
could have their own plans, and
each ought to be happy. I would
like to see a move made to pei
petuate the daylight saving plan in
the city. It would be necessary for
the street car and other transporta
tion companies to move their rush
hour schedules ahead if this plan
were adopted, but few other changes
would be necessary."
Pick Up Seven Men at Sea
in Open Boat For 8 Days
Boston, Aug. 27 —After eight days
at sea in an open boat. Captain B.
D. Coleman and six men of the
schooner George D. Edmands were
picked up Monday by the steamer
Pequot, according to a message re
ceived by the owners of the schoon
er. The Edmands caught fire and
was abandoned August 17. when 300
miles south-southeast of Nantucket.
She was bound light from Bermuda
for Hillsboro, N. S.
Captain Coleman and his men
apparently were provided with food
and water as the message contained
no word of suffering or privation.

BILL TO SAVE IN
PUBLIC PRINTING i
House Passes Measure Fath
ered by Pennsylvania
Representative
Washington, Aug. 27.—A bill em
bodying a revision of the printing
laws, resulting in a saving of about
$500,000 a year to the government,
lias been passed by the House of
Representatives, largely through the
efforts of Representative Edgar R.
Kciss, of Pennsylvania, chairman of
the House Committee on Printing.
The measure is along the lines of
the bill drafted several yegrs ago by
Senator Smoot, of Utah.
A bill of much the same purport
has several times passed one
bouse or the other, but has not be
come a law. In presenting the
merits of tlie bill to the House,
Representative Kiess reviewed the
history of attempted legislation of
this kind and cited particular in
stances to show the great waste in
cident to present methods. The bill
was passed without a dissenting
vote.
Russian Reds Stir U. S.
Negroes Into Strife,
Says Secret Service
Washington, Aug. 27. Russian
soviet interests apparently are sup
plying funds for a propaganda to
stir up race antagonism in the
United States, according to informa
tion now in the hands of tlie De
partment of Justice.
Officials of tlie department say
that charges of an organized pro
paganda made in the House yester
day by Representative Byrnes,
Democrat, South Carolina, seemed
to be well founded. Newspapers,
they said, wore springing up over
the country to spread the propa
ganda and sow discord among the
negroes.
Agents of the Department of Jus
tice are investigating. Facts thus
far developed lead officials to be
lieve that I. W. W. and soviet in
fluence were at the bottom of the
recent race riots in Washington and
Chicago.
