" When a Girl Marries" Br ANN 1.151.E A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CCXCIV. Copyright, 1919, King Feature Syn dicate, Inc. On the day after my ring disap peared, Dr. Kellogg pronounced my ankle well enough to come out of the bandage of adhesive plaster which had been strapping it ever since the accident. He brought along high flatheeled boots which he had procured for me, and lacing my ankle tightly into these, he ordered me to forsake all thoughts of invalid ism and to trot about as usual. I was tempted to rush right clown to llaldane's call for Daisy and take her out to lunch, but 1 managed to restrain myself. That would be the sort of thing Neal j calls "rough work." I must wait ; a day before starting my campaign, , otherwise it would be too obvious. | Wanting a companion for my walk, I called Virginia on the tele phone and asked her to go out with me. This was my first oppor- ] tunity to speak to Virginia since the evening Jim had broken the news to her that the old Harrison place now stood in her name. At the first word of Virginia's reply I noticed the contraint in her voice. "How fortunate that your ankle's quite well again, Anne. Don't over do the walking though. I'm not very keen for these new theories about exercising sprains and torn ligaments." "But will you come with me?" I persisted. "I'm so sorry, Anne," replied Vir ginia smoothly, evading me. "But I'm preparing to go to the moun tains for a week or so. A little change does all of us worlds of good, you know. And I've a lot of shopping, so I can't make it." "We might take a taxi." I per sisted. "Of course, I can't run the little car now and we couldn't talk with some one else in the driver's H-at and one of us banished to the rumble. But in a taxi we could visit between shops." I smiled to myself at my own change of heart where Virginia was roncerned. Time was when I'd have been too thoroughly cowed by her first refusal to make any effort to force myself upon her. But now Virginia never daunted me. Under her coldness and pride I fell unhap piness and unfulfilled longings. And The Private Wire to Washington "So I must keep up the comedy and not let tliom know that my heart aches dreadfully." During the war the Secret Service had many knotty problems to solve, and Harold MacGrath, the great novelist, has just completed a won derful spy story that will be printed in The Philadelphia Bulletin, begin ning with Wednesday, September 10th. It is the inside story of a great Long Island spy mystery that baf fled the Secret Service and has to do with strange occurrence that took place in the luxurious home of a loyal American who had the con fidence of the authorities at Wash ington and who was entertaining at his home a noted French officer, who was in America on a secret mission. Inr.-ocent people were suspected of disloyalty while the guilty went free; but justice claimed her own In the end. The novel is quite thrilling and although primarily a detective story contains a delightful romance. As there is a great demand for The Bulletin, it is well to arrarzge in advance that your news dealer sup ply you with a copy each evening.

A Telephone Call Will Bring Our Auto EGGERT'S 1243 MARKET STREET CI.KANING, DYKING, I'KKSSING 801 l 48(10 Dial 3717 TUESDAY EVENING, I'm never afraid of sad people— they may be reaching out for the very thing I have to give. So even when Virginia would have none of me. I didn't feel snub bed uii(i hurt, but sorry that she was all snarled up In her bitter ness and misunderstanding. "Really, dear, I must be rushing," she exclaimed. "I have things to | buy for Phoebe and myself—tickets to get and reservations to telegraph for. so do forgive me if I'm abrupt and say good-by." I echoed the good-by and turned from the phone to find Angy at my elbow. "Dar's a maid here for you to in tervene, ma'am," she said in her quaint jargon. "She says Mis' Cos by she sent her in respondence to Mist' Harrison what 'phone and ask her to tend to your needing help. I I.ooks like a nice, pus son, ma'am. But noways compari son to Bertha—she were a jewel, ma'am." j The word jewel brought back my troubles with a jerk. But I had i Angy bring the maid to me in the dining room, and thought she was a sour-faced, middle-aged person, her I splendid reference and her honest j eyes and manner made me engage jlledwig at once. Hardly was that 1 transaction completed when the | doorbell rang and Angy returned ! from answering its summons to an j .ounce Phoebe. In great delight I hurried into | the living-room and there I found | not only Phoebe, but a suitcase, hat j box and little patent-leather over ; night bag. "I've come to stay," Phoebe an nounced, smiling tentatively as if ' she'd be coaxing or firm as< the j occasion dictated. | "You've come to stay?" I repeated, none to cordially, I fear. "But ] Virginia said you and she were go ! ing to the mountains." "She's going," said Phoebe, set ! ting her ripe young mouth into firm ! lines. "But you ? She said you were go ■ ing with her," I said groping for , my cue. "I'm not a child, to be dragged ! around wherever Virginia chooses. 1 told her I wouldn't go. I'll not !be separated from Neal, though | that's just what she wants. She i said I couldn't stay at home alone ; and unchaperoned—that it would look—dreadful, under the circurn '■ stances." j Phoebe's slim young body was I vibrant with feeling as she spoke i but back of her emotions I sensed j a will to match Virginia's Harrison I pride, Harrison determination, Har- I rison insistence on self-expression, i And I found myself pitying not Phoebe —but Virginia, caught in the meshes of her own feelings and be tween the equally strong feelings and warring personalities of her sister and brother. "Don't you think there was some thing in Virginia's idea?" I asked with what I hoped was a soothing smile. "Lotst" agreed Phoebe briefly. "Po I came here. I'm amply chaperoned in my brother's house, if that's what Virginia wants. May I stay! Or are you so completely under Vir ginia's rule that you're going to turn me out?" "Doesn't Virginia know you're ' here?" I asked. "Not much"' laughed Phoebe. "I | did a sneak the minute she got ' out of the apartment. Well. Annie, ! decide. Do I stay or are you ; afraid that your Jeanie will never I speak to you again if you harbor : me?" "I'll have Angy carry your things ] back to the guest room," I replied quietly, as quietly as if I weren't afraid of just what Phoebe suggest j od. "Then you must manage to | make yourself comfortable without ime. You see I've a very important | errand that may take me all after ! noon." I wondered what Phoebe would ' say if she knew what my errand I was. | To be continued Mag Rhu TABLETS Stop Stomach Trouble ! Guaranteed to relieve all stomach ! miseries.

Further decline of the spring wheat crop reduced the prospective production 17.000,000 bushels during August, but corn had a good month and shows a prospective output 70,000,- 000 bushels larger, than indicated last month, according to the Gov ernment's September crop report just issued. There were reductions in the fore casts of oats, white potatoes, to bacco and hay, but an increase in buckwheat and sugar beets.

The loss in the spring wheat crop was caused by blight, rust, scab and grasshoppers. The total crop of spring and winter wheat now is ■ placed at 923,000,000 bushels, which lis more than 300,000,000 bushels bc j low the crop as forecast from con j ditions prevailing in June.

Copyright, 1919, Star Company The letter from Miss Do Laine's lawyer was not long, yet David read and re-read it before its contents began to assume their true signi ficance. The letter informed him that his uncle, Francis De Laine. had re- \ cently died in the Far West, and that this news had been sent to Henry Andrews —Miss Jeanne De Laine's lawyer— : as the spinster had been the dead man's next of kin. "From what 1 can gather," Andrews wrote, "with your aunt's death you became your uncle's heir. He died childless and a bachelor. I would, however, prefer talking this matter over with you instead of writing about it. Please run on to Baltimore at your early con venience. The matter may be one of great moment to you." Of great moment to him! What could this imply? David De I>aine recalled his last conversation with Henry Andrews. The lawyer knew that the young man was poor, that he had refused to accept the terms of his aunt's will by which he might acquire a comfortable income. Possibly David's uncle had left a goodly sum of money. Only for a moment did the nephew let himself entertain this possibility. Then he remembered that his I'ncle Francis had been a visionary person who had probably gone through his fortune as quickly as David's own father had gone through his. He might have left behind him several hundred dollars hardly more. But David was not in a position to scorn even this small sum. It would at least tide him over until he had secured a new position. This seemed like an answer to his mental question as to how he could live after he had given up his present job and before he secured another. He would go to Baltimore as soon as possible. He would not mention where he was going, but ask Samuel Leigh - ton if he could dispense with his services for a few days. It would but do to name Baltimore, for if W alter Jefferson were to tell the Leightons that he had once met Smith in that city, David's mention of his destination might awaken suspicions as to his identity. A Welcome Release Much as he dreaded leaving De siree, his heart grew light as he appreciated that there was a chance of his quitting the atmos phere of uncertainty in which he had li\ ed lately, Now that he saw a way of escape he felt his present situation as almost unendurable. Suddenly ho decided to take Im mediate steps to change it permt - nently. He would write hero ard now to his employer, announcing his intention of giving up his place as chauffeur. He had written a part of a note when he paused for reconsideration. He hoped his abrupt departure might not cause Samuel Leighton or his daughter actual inconven ience. So he added a paragraph to guard against this. The epistle fin ished, he read it carefully. "Dear Sir," it ran. "A communi cation which I have just received makes it advisable for me to take a trip to another city as soon as* practicable. Therefore, if conven ient to you, I will ask you to allow me to give up my position with you. I thank you for your kindness "and consideration to me while I have been in your employ. "If you wish to communicate with me. please write to me at the ad dress at the head of this sheet. You may also mail my check to this same address —paying me only up to last evening. In leaving you with out longer notice I forfeit—ln my own eyes, at least—the right to my pay to the end of the week. "Respectfully yours David Smith." Samuel Leighton had told his chauffeur that he would not need the car in the morning. Jf David attached extra stamps to this letter marked it "special delivery," and mailed it now, his employer should receive it early in the day, before leaving his house for his office. De Laine did not dare let himself stop to think that perhaps he might never again see Desiree. Down in the bottom of his heart lurked a hope that Henry Andrews might have information for him that would mike it possible for him to reveal his identity to the I.eightons. Yet he would not dwell upon this fancy. He Mails H'.s Bettor He made a copy of his letter to Samuel Leighton. He wanted to be able to recall exactly what he had said. His mind was too perturbed Just now for him to think very clearly. Hurrying out to the post box at the corner, he mailed the epistle, then, returning to his room, paced restlessly up and down until the lodger in the room below his knocked on the ceiling to wnrn him that quiet is desirable after mid night. Ashamed of his selfishness, David removed his shoes, undressed quiet ly and went to bed. But not to sleep. He lived over again the moment he had been alone with Desiree, saw once more the appealing look In her eyes and heard the murmur of her voice as she said: "You don't know anything about my pendant—do you?" What did she mean? Why was everybody asking him about this pendant? he wondered impatiently. Well, he had severed all connec tions with the Leighton household. Now, lying awake in the silence of his own room, he appreciated that he had burned his bridges behind him. Of course, there was a bare chance that Mr. Leighton might not be able to secure another chauffeur immediately. In that case David might see his employer's daughter again before leaving New York. He had changed his views entire ly. A few hours ago he had longed to get away. By dawn he was curs ing himself for an idiot in leaving so abruptly.. To be continued Leviathan Is Out of Transport Service, After , Carrying 185,500 Troops New York, Sept. 9.—With the ar rival of the transport Leviathan bringing home General Pershing and troops of the First Division, the giant transport brought to a close her im portant service in helping win the war.

"Do tell ine about it." "It's a dessert that always turns out right and isn't a bit of trouble to make. All you have to do Is to add milk, either fresh or condensed, and sugar, and boil for three min utes, and then when It is cool, you have a rich, creamy mould of des sert." "Does it come in more than one flavor?" asked Mrs. Gordon. "Oh. yes, indeed—chocolate, rose, vanilla, orange, lemon and in aeveral flavors. And it only costs 15c for a box which will serve 15 people." "Well," said Mrs. Gordon. "It cer tainly is delicious." "I use It for cake and pie fillings, too," said Mary, "and it makes ice cream smooth and rich." "Well," exclaimed Mrs. Gordoh, emphatically, "there Is one thing sure. In the future, we will never be without puddine!" For sale at all grocers. Lafean Is Held in the North Penn Bank Crash; Knew it Was Tottery Philadelphia, Sept. 9.—Daniel F.
