" When a Girl " By ANN LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife Copyrlhgt. 1919 Star Feature Syn dicate, Inc. CHAPTER CCC.YVI. Our picnic was a great success. Neal and Phoebe liked Irma Warren at sight, and she made no effort to dis guise the fact that she thought them tho most wonderful element of a mi raculous occasion. Tom beamed, and his pleasure knew no bounds, when Neal—out of his growing knowledge of real estate values—pronounced Hidden Brook—the place Tom was considering—a "good buy." "Suppose you go after the Rhine ville Estate to-morrow and put in an offer on Hidden Brook," said Tom. "You don't need a broker. You found the place, and while it's darn white of you to offer to let me in, you might as well close without me," replied Neal. "Don't sass your Uncle Tommie. What do you think I brought you along for. young fellow, except to ring an expert in on this deal? You're here in your professional capacity and not because Uncle Thomas can't resist your taking ways," replied Tom so heartily and generously that Neal made no further demur and Phoebe beamed at her boy's growing import ance in the business world. A little later, however, as we were finishing lunch by the tiny forest brook from which the place takes its name, Tom got a startling reaction from what he had said. He is. as I have often noticed, far too old and jaded looking for his years, which are not much more numerous than Jim's. But the fulness of his lips and the narrowness of his jaded eyes, to gether with the rapier keenness of his face above his big indolent body, give him a look of world-knowledge and world-weariness that is far re moved from youth. "The old Harrison place Isn't five miles from here—are you aware of that, children?" asked Tom suddenly. J "Oh, how nice!" cried Irma War ren with warm erjjjiusiasm. "If you all have an estate near here I sup pose you'll come often to see your uncle:" Then she turned to Tom with joy in his good fortune. "I know how lonsome Uncle Graham was before I came to live with him, so I'm glad you'll have nieces and nephews to keep you from feeling alone." The look of chagrin on Tom's face was amusing. "Do I look as old as that? To be classed with Mr. Haldane," he pro tested. "Oh, uncle's young," replied Irma as artlessly as tactlessly, adding when she saw the look of actual hurt on Tom's face. "Not that I don't realize you're ages younger. Ages an 4 ages." "But in tho Uncle Class," pro tested Tom. Irma blushed and stammered. "But Mr. Hvland said—l thought"— "I know what you thought," re plied Tom with more bitterness than the occasion seemed to warrant. "Oh. I'm sorry."

"Are you game for a little stroll, ! Anne?" he asked, with what I felt | sure was deliberation. "I'd like to l trace this young streamlet back a | ways. It looks to me—Tommie. play mate of my youth—as if you and I were booked for some trout fishing ere long." Tom's look was ludicrously grate ful both for Jim's plan to absent himself and for the announcement that they two were contemporaries. The minute we were out of ear shot Jim caught my hand in his and gave a great shout. "Did you ever see the beat of that?" he demanded. "Bowled over I —clean bowled over. Our Tommie's a goner for fair. The pretty little fat girl has fetched him. And she thought he was a doddering uncle!" "Jim. you aren't taking Tom seri ously?" I asked scornfully. "And why not?" came from Jim, 1 as he abandoned his tracing of the stream and reclined on a big boul der where there was room to pull : me down close to his side. "Don't you know him by now? Tom's a flirt. Married women are i generally his prey. He things them ] safer, I suppose. I've never before seen him show a flicker of interest in a girl who might take him serious ly, and if Miss Warren did I'll wager he'd run a mile." "I think you're wrong, sweet heart. I think Tommie's hard hit. However match-making's not my de partment. Give us a kiss and we'll stioli back. We ought to be start ing if we want a hot dinner to night. It's almost three now." So I gave Jim his kiss and we strolled back to find the hamper closed and strapped back in place and the others ready for the re turn trip. We drove in a different way from the one we had come, and it carried us by Mason Towers, Evvy's country place. At sight of it, Phoebe had an inspiration of which I fancy strange things are to come: "Oh, we're going by the Harri son place. Let's stop a little while, she cried. Tom agreed and though I felt sure Jim shared my feeling of awkward ness at going to the old homestead which is now Virginia's unacknowl eged property, neither of us felt that we could say anything without causing too many surmises on Tom's part. So we drove in. Only a few weeks before the place had an air of desertion and decay. Now the grass is clipped and beds of hardy perennials are set out. As we came closer to the house we saw that the vines had been pruned and'tended and that building was going on. At sight of these changes in his boyhood home, I perceived how Jim whitened under his tan and how the muscles of his jaw grew taut as fiddle strings. Phoebe's cheeks crimsoned and her eyes became more starlike than ever. Only my brother puzzled me. His manner was alert and watchful, but not at all sur prised. "Well, I declare, someone must have bought in the old place!" cried Tom. "Who do you suppose is re storing the old mansion" I echoed his question. Who is do ing it? (To Be Continued.) Will Quit Shantung Quickly, Says Goto Washington, Oct. 4—Baron Shim pel Goto, former Japanese Foreign Minister, and a member of the Jap anese Diplomatic Advisory Council, declared in an authorized interview here that Japan "intends to settle" the Shantung question "so promptly that it is impra'cticable to set a date." Baron Goto came to Washington en route from Paris to Tokio, to pay his respects to President Wilson, but was prevented by the President's Illness from calling at the White House Japan, he said, will soon ratify the Versailles treaty and, when that is done, she will ask Germany to hand over to her all documents concerning Shantung. "Then" Baron Goto de clared, "Japan will submit to China a definite and liberal proposition as to the settlement of German rights. I am confident that this will be done within a few months.

Samuel Leighton nodded as his [ clerk ushered his chauffeur into his i presence. "Good morning," he said, turning to Smith when the two were alone. "Sit down." But Smith remained standing. "It is not necessary, sir. X know you are busy." There was a subtle change in the chauffeur's bearing that made the employer slightly uncomfortable. To hide this he spoke more brusquely than usual. "I prefer having you take a cl air, Smith. If I had been too busy to have you come here I would not have sent for you." David sat down. There was an awkward silence. It was broken by the older man. "I want to explain to you. Smith, that I regret that such a fuss was made about the disappearance of Miss I,eighton's pendant. I am sure you can understand, however, that, under the circumstances, it was natural that"— He hesitated, embarrassed by the expression in the direct eyes meet ing his. "I quite understand, sir" the young man said, "that one might suspect an employe—unless his cre dentials had been such as to war rant one in trusting him." The speech was not the speech of Smith, the chauffeur, but of one man talking to another whose equal he was In birth and breeding. Leighton flushed. "I admit that a man's credentials should protect him from suspicion," he said gruffly. "And I regret that in this case there was even a shadow of suspicion east upon you. Yet, Smith, had our positions been reversed, you would probably have felt as I did." "Possibly," Smith admitted, "but pardon me if I say that my doubts would not have been mentioned un til I had every reason to believe them justified." An Apology "But I never mentioned them to any one," the older man began, then added—"l mean —only my daughter and myself—and mi' Jeweler —knew of the disappearance of the pendant —and surely"— Suddenly he recalled his sister's knowledge of the disappearance of the trinket and remembered what she had said of Helen's prattle. "Hang it all!" he burst forth.

David came to his relief. "I understand, sir, until you had made investigations," he supple mented, "I was stupid not to sus pect that I was under surveillance, you see, I never thought of The simple statement moved his companion to more temperate speech. "I regret the whole affair. Smith," he said, "and I am sorry for my share in it. If suspicion was aroused the fault was not mine or Miss Leighton's." "Let us not think of the matter again, please, Mr. I.eighton," David said frankly. After all, this man was Desiree's father. What dif ference did it make who doubted him so long as she did not? But he wanted to get this interview over. "There is another matter I would rather speak to you about," he went on. "I came down here not only because you sent for me, but be cause I would like you to release me from my arrangement to stay in your employ for a few days longer. I And it imperative that I leave this evening." "So you are going to leave me, after all, eh?" The voice asking the question was harsh and the speakei% face darkened. He was a proud man; he had come as near humiliating himself to this young fellow as he had ever come to doing so to any young man. And this was the thanks he got for his condescen sion! The rascal was getting back at him for his doubts of him! "I must leave, Mr. Leighton," David tried to explain. "To-day I received a telegram from my law— from another city making it neces sary that I go." Leighton Grows Angry "No matter at what inconveni ence to me?" was the sarcastic query. David rose. He was determined to control his temper. "I hope it may not prove incon venient to you. I have here the name and address of a young man who wants a place as chauffeur at once. He will, of course, give you his own references. I know noth ing about him personally, except that he looks bright and capable and has a pleasing manner." As he spoke, David laid on the desk the slip of paper on which he had -written the name and address of the fellow he had met at the garage. The elder man did not even glance at it. "Since you have so little regard for my convenience as to leave me without an hour's warning, I do not care to employ anybody whom you may suggest," he said hotly. "Here" —drawing a roll of bills from his pocket—"is your pay up to night before last. Then you began on a new week. Let me see—how much does that make?" In silence David took the money held towards him. When he had put it in his pocket he spoke. "I regret that you are angry, Mr. Leighton. Good afternoon!" "Wait!" Leighton exclaimed. "I told you I would pay you extra for your butler work the other night." But, as if he had not heard him, David left the office. The closing of the door behind him with unneces sary emphasis was the only re sponse to Samuel Lelghton's speech. That evening David De Laine took the night train for Baltimore. (To Bo Continued.)' Two Plead Guilty of Pennsy Thefts Carlisle, Oct. 4.—ln court Walter R. Knaub, of the lower end of the county, pleaded guilty to larceny of property from the P. R. R., and was sentenced to pay the costs, a fine of $3OO and one year in jail, to be re leased on probation, however, and to report by mail to the Clerk of the Courts weekly. Any misconduct in the future will mean the issuance of a bench warrant. Howard E. Nicholas, also of the lower end, pleaded guilty to larceny of articles from the P. R. R. Com pany, among them brushes, oil cans, wrenches, lanterns, lumber valued at $3O, and all to the value of $lOO. He will be sentenced later. Criminal court begins Monday morning at ten o'clock. Woman Barber to Remain in London London, Oct. 4.—The woman bar ber, who found an opportunity to show her skill during the war, has proved such a popular institution that she seems to have come to stay. Women assistants are employed in a number of West End shops, and some shops are owned and managed by women. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED IvCwistowii, Pa., Oct. 4. —Invita- tions are out announcing the coming wedding of Miss Marjorie C. Snyder and Robert T. Kulp, of Mtfflintown, to take place October 15, at 3 o'clock, at the residence of E. N. Snyder, in this place, where Miss Snyder resides. WOMAN WHIPS RUSSIAN BULLY New Yorker With American Red Cross Unit Nearly Finishes Him Omsk, Oct. 4.—A certain Russian bully learned something about American women that will lurk in his memory for some time through an encounter a few days ago with Miss \nnie Laurie Williams in the freight yards at Omsk. Miss Wil liams' name will be familiar to many New Yorkers as a welfare worker. She is now with the American Red Cross and was one of those twelve women chosen to remain behind when the others were hustled out of Omsk by the Ameri can ambassador to Japan, Roland S. Morris, to escape a possible Bol shevik invasion. The Russian was attempting to climb aboard a car in a refugee train in which were several girls. The girls were trying to shut the car door against him when Miss Williams appeared and grappled with the intruder. She managed to land two blows on his jaw and then they rolled together down the em bankment. As they arose she gave him another. Two Czech soldiers then came to her aid and, but for Miss Williams' intercession, would have finished the bully, who was eventually al lowed to retreat and ponder on the strange ways of American women. Organizer of Owls Is Made National Manager R. F. Webster, who has been lo cated at Philadelphia for the last seventeen months as State Organizer for the Order of Owls, of which he was a third-degree member and also Deputy Supreme President, has re signed his position to becone Na tional Field Manager in charge of the entire organization work of the Fraternal Order Beavers, the home office of which is at Philadelphia. Mr. Webster has been unusually successful in his work for the Order of Owls, having increased the Phila delphia membership by nearly seven thousand members. Last Thursday evening he was presented by one of his local organizations with a hand some traveling bag and dressing case as a mark of esteem. His new work will take him over every part of the United States but he will retain his home at 223 South Fourteenth Street, Harrlsburg. Seeks to Collect His Verdict of $3,000 I Sunbury, Pa., Oct. 4.—Joseph Cas [bratett, a Shamokiri miner, who was awarded a verdict of $3,000 for per sonal Injuries against the Susque hanna Coal Company by a jury in the Northumberland County Court, to-day took out an execution in an effort to collect the verdict. Inas much as the Susquehanna Collieries Company has bought this property, there may be legal complications, it is said, before he gets his cash. Casbratett was badly injured when a ladder rung broke and let him fall into a hump. The accident happened more than two years ago, which indicates how slow the court machinery sometimes works, accord ing to the clerks in the office of Edgar Summers, clerk of the courts. Labor Party Planned For Blair County Altoona, Oct. 4.—A new party likely to be known as the Workers' Non partisan League of Blair County is to be put in the field for the November election. It will be intended to represent the labor ele ment of the county. It is intended to pre-empt the new party name and have a complete list of candidates for both city and county offices. It is understood that in a few cases candidates on the tickets of one or the other of the old parties will be endorsed but that for the greater number of the offices entirely new men will be placed in the field. Thomas Trimble Dies at Mechanicsburg Mechanicsburg, Pa., Oct. 4.—The death of Thomas Trimble occurred at his home in East Locust street on Thursday night, after a week's ill ness. He was 76 years old and a native of Silver Spring township, where he lived the greater part of his life. Surviving are his widow-and one son, Hermas H. Trimble, of Me chanicsburg. Funeral services will be held to morrow afternoon, at 2 o'clock, at his late home, conducted by the Rev. Dr. H. N. Fegley, pastor of St. Mark's Lutheran Church. BIG SWEET POTATO Seven Valleys, Pa„ Oct. 4. A sweet potato, weighing three pounds and 10 ounces, has been raised In the garden of William Shirman, of this place, LITTLE TALKS BY BEA TRICE FAIRFAX Some time ago a special article ap peared in this column under the title of "Girls Who Do Not Attract Men." And since that time letters have con tinued to come to me from girls on this subject. The following letter, by all odds the most interesting, Is one of those human documents the absolute sincerity of which makes it a privilege to read. The letter contains the story of a girl who came back after a bitter and heartbreaking experience. 1 wish it were possible for me to give her entire letter, word for word, just as she wrote it out of the fullness of a heart that has known loneliness, the blackness of despair, but has never been wholly quenched. And I think in spite of the misfor tunes of her childhood, she owes much of her resilience to her Irish tempera ment. The Irish have more lives than the proverbial cat. and nothing has ever been able to kill their splendid ccurage or warp their souls. At home the Irishman may be a political pawn, but away from home he plays chess very skilfully with the rest of crea tion. Being Irish undoubtedly helped my young friend to again take her place in the world, as it will help her some day to find happiness. The personal letter I wrote this girl failed to reach her, much to my regret. It May Help Some Other Girl Dear Miss Fairtax: Some time ago I read an article in your column about "Girls Who Do Not Attract Men." May I have some thing to say, too, in regard to this? And please publish my letter for the good It may perhaps do some other girls who are now going through what I did. I am twenty-eight and now filling a position as governess in a wealthy New York family. Washington is my birth place and my old home—my parents were Irish. I love the Irish devotedly • —but, remember, there are good and bad in all, and fate picked me two im possible creatures for my keepers dur ing infancy and childhood. Both were drunkards; even as a small child I remember my humiliation in coming home from school and finding the house in disorder, breakfast dishes unwashed, floors unswept, beds unmade and both parents drinking. At fourteen I went to work in a de partment store as cash girl, receiving a week. In my fifteenth year I de cided to attend night high school, and at eighteen received my diploma. A friend of mine—a good musician— gave me piano lessons free. I after wards made music my especial study. After studying the piano six years I received a scholarship lor the Conserv atory in Paris and went there to con tinue my musical studies.

MtHKPT WWW OCTOBER .4, 1919, time I had received no encouragement from anyone and was contributing, j through musical engagements, to the j support of my family. What I have i endured heaven alone knows. Doubtless you are wondering by this j time what this had to do with unat- i tractive girls. I could never have men at my home, owing to the weakness of my mother and father. Finally I got desperate and left them for a good position in New York. In New York I had a career which I have since al ways regretted. Up to that time, I had never really loved as I had always dreamed I would love. My one thought was: "The world owes me a good time and 1 am going I to take it." And I did—to my sor row to my heartbroken sorrow. Site Meets an Artist One evening at a theater party in i New Y'ork 1 was introduced to a well known artist, and our friendship rip-1 ened into love and we became engaged.' I carefully shielded from him my real I existence—that is always the test of 1 true love—when a woman hides her ] frailty. War came and he secured a comrnis- ! sicn. That week before he sailed he took me to a well-known restaurant to dine. While there a friend of his came in. and upon seeing us together. he looked askance. My fiance invited him to join us. and he did. Next day X received a special deliv ery letter asking me to meet my fiance. Xle confronted me with many state ments which his friend of the night be fore hud made in regard to me. I was stunned, but could make no an swer. He loved me: I loved him— I do now and always shall. Our af fair. the only real love affair of my life, ended there. A year after our parting I saw in the papers the announcement of his wedding. I cried myself to sleep that night. Yes, dear girls. It does pay to have a standard and live up to it scrupulously. Never consider yourself unattractive if vou have purity and cleanliness of heart. They are the I finest attributes in the world, the j greatest gift >ou may bring to any] man—the most priceless to yourself. ' Not Unattractive Then Because the other girls get in a few more theater parties or dances in a week is no reason for you to imagine' yourself unattractive, llather consider it an honor to be reserved and re- ' ticent. I felt unattractive! I have rea son to feel so now—but certainly not when I did. There comes into every life the true love for which. it has longed ; it is up to you to be sweet and pure to meet it. A man once told me: "I would rather see my daughter dead than be- ; ccme forward and unreserved." Many ' men have told me practically the same thing. It is certainly no sign of un- 1 attractiveness for a girl to remain at j home. Prince Charming will come' when least expected. If the bold and brazen girls only | knew the laughs and sneers they get i when their backs are turned they would become less bold and forward. The desire to be attractive, to be 1 loved, led me on in my wild, hopeless career of "chasing rainbows." Pleasure ] and happiness are never with the wo- ! man who has lost. Deep in my wound ed heart I have found this great truth, ' In the meantime I wish to ask those ; girls who think themselves unattrac-1 tive to men to know they possess the , most priceless jewel on earth—purity. | EPURE*AN*D S^^S<3E3 S l ™, 5 IS®W k aKMljiill ©P satisfactory beverage.
