" When a Girl "

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

"Do I trust you fully and en
tirely?" I repeated, facing Jim in
utter astonishment. "Do I need
you? How can you ask that, Jim?
Of course I do!"
"We'll come to that later," re
plied Jim almost curtly. "Where
Pat is concerned I see you may
need me. But that's my sister's af
fair —only natural you should feel I
can be trusted to deal with it as
best I know how."
"I don't understand you!" I cried.
"Why are you being so queer and
sarcastic? I've not left out any
thing Pat said. I didn't tell you my
feelings, bub that was because I
wanted to get your opinion uncol
ored by mine."
Jim grinned at me half in irrita-!
tion, half in amusement. Then he
burst out in a voice completely
ruled by the latter emotion:
"You dear, funny little kid! As
if I didn't know darn well what's
eating you. It's that long journey
stuff from Pat's spiel. You've got
"pft tangled up in your mind
with that Sidney Carson speech in
the "Tale of Two Cities." Hero stuff.
Pats no hero—just a regular guy.
Darn nice one, of course"
But what else can Pat mean?"

CATARRH VANISHES
Here la One Treatment That All

If J, ou w ?. nt to drive catarrh and all
its disgusting symptoms from your
system in the shortest possible time,
go to your druggist and ask for a
Hyomei outfit to-day.
Breathe the air of Hyomei and let it

colds; it gives such quick relief that
all who use it for the first time are
astonished.
Hyomei is a pure pleasant antisep

nose and throat deep into the head
and lungs; it. soothes the sore in
flamed membranes, reduces swelling
and quickly heals all inflammation.
Don't suffer another day with ca
tarrh; the disease is dangerous and
often ends in consumption. Start the
Hyomei treatment today. No stom

dangerous drugs or narcotics. Ab

FRIDAY EVENING,
mother and be little Miss Fix-it. But
I'm so happy myself and I have so
many blessings that I can't help
wanting other people to have a taste
of the wonderful joy that's come
to me"—
"You blessed darling! You blessed,
blessed honey-lamb!" Jim's voice
clouded over and he flung himself
on his knee and laid his face against
my heart. In a second he got to
his feet and stood looking down at
me like the big, strong man I adore
even more than the gentle lover.
"Anne, one of the things I love
you for is the kind heart that hates
to see others suffer and the steady
brain that so often finds the way
out for folks who are blind or help
less. If it weren't for that, you and
I would have come to a nasty place
in our affairs more than once within
the past weeks."
"What do you mean, Jim?" I cried
again—oppressed by the sense of
something mysterious just around
the corner.
"We'll come to that soon," he re
plied. "But first, there's Pat to deal
with. What do you want me to
do?"
"What do you think he's going to
do?" I parried.
"Anne, have you come to me be
cause you believe in my strength,
or are you going to run this, with 1
a little assistance from me?" asked
Jim.
As I faced him and his question
I realized that we had come to a
crisis in our lives. For a minute
I couldn't see why. Then I under
stood. Either I relied on Jim's
judgment or my own. If on his I
could put all my cards on the table
and trust him to play them his own
way, uninfluenced by me.
"You're running this," I said at
last—happy to know that I meant
it. "What I haven't told you is this
—I feel sure that Pat is going to—
going to make 'way with himself. I
don't see what other reason he'd
have for putting his house in order
and sending me the miniature. I
don't see what else he can mean by
that 'long journey' he keeps talking
about. I'm half mad with fear, and
I have no hope unless you can stop
him. You're the only one to handle
this now."
"Pat's no quitter," replied Jim
thoughtfully. "He wouldn't take the
coward's way out. And beside being
too much of a man to —commit sui
cide, he has the brain to know that
nothing could more hideously cloud
and mar and besmirch Virginia's life
than just that."

"I didn't think of that!" I con
fessed.
"No-—but Pat will. He'll see that
if a divorce would point like a sign
post to Virginia and this darn Blake
cub she's running with, the other
thing would mark her all the more
terribly—he'll see that all right. But
I've one possibility of keeping him
on even keel. Uncle Ned's going
North to-morrow to look after some
property that I'm sure adjoins Pat's
holdings. Anyway, they can travel
together for about 12 hours. And
that husky old guy would be a tonic
and a saving grace for anyone. He'll
look out for your Pat. I'll see to
that."
"Oh, Jim," I sighed comfortably.
"I feel so much better already. I
like masculine brains better than
feminine—your's better than mine,
anyway. From this day on I'm going
to cut out trying to run things and
let Jim do it. I am—l swear it!
I was almost crazy with fear about
Pat. And now I'm all reassured. I
like leaning on you."
"I like having you lean on me,"
said Jim, suiting action to word.
"I'm darn glad Uncle Ned hauled
me out of the office and then let me
come home early. He's going to
phone me at dinner time on a mat
ter"—
j Jim's voice became remote and
"business" came glowering into the
, room to shut me out and to give
, me again the queer feeling of Jeal
r ousy I had known a little while
. before. Then Jim continued:
t "Just to ease both our minds,
I however, I'm going to call Pat and
, arrange to see him this evening—
might even have dinner with him—
• it's darn lonely and morbid eating
alone all the time." The latter parti
of his sentence Jim said almost to
himself, then, as if coming to a de
cision, he turned to me:
"Tell you what I'm going to do,
little lady. I'll date Pat up for a
stag dinner to-night if he's free.
You know how It is—men can talk
so much more frankly when there's
no third party around."
At that "third party" I had a
bad time to keep from wincing or
crying out a protest. Nor did it
please me to have Jim forget that
if it was lonely eating a solitary
meal. I wouldn't fancy being doomed
to that state. I choked down my
petty feelings, since all that counted
was saving Pat.
After a few minutes' low-voiced
conversation over the telephone Jim
turned to me with a complacent:
"Now it's all fixed. You needn't
worry about Pat any longer. I'll
shave and clean up a bit, and if the
mesage from Uncle Ned hasn't come
by the time I leave, I'll trust you
to take it. Only be sure to get it
straight."

NAME OF PROMINENT

to have the furniture sent and stored
until she could find use for it.
A Former Employe
Miss Haines was at one time an
employe of the Dives, Pomeroy &
Stewart store, having served in the
hosiery department. She left the
store some months ago, it was said
at the store to-day, but employes
were loath to give the reasons for
which she severed her connection.
Methods employed by Miss Haines
in attempting to get the household
goods, are believed by police to have
been inspired by reading a sensa
tional criminal story now running in
several New York Sunday newspap
ers. Her knowledge of the credit sys
tem of the two stores is also thought
to have been brought into use to
some extent, in aiding her to map out
her method of procedure.
Used Mrs. Payne's Name
On Wednesday, she called both
stores in the name of Mrs. Payne
and ordered big quantities of goods.
At the Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart
store, the value of the goods or
dered was between $1,200 and $1,500
while at the Bowman store she had
ordered approximately SBOO worth of
materials. In both instances, she
had asked that the goods be gotten
ready to be delivered to a truck
driver who would call for them.
At the Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart
store, employes at once became sus
picious on receipt of the order. It
was thought to be quite peculiar that
Mrs. Payne should order such a
quantity of household goods, espe
cially without seeing the goods, and
that she had promised to send
around a truck for the goods. Or
dinarily, goods ordered In this man
ner is delivered by the store's truck.
Employes Suspicious
Employes of the store who re
ceived the order, held Miss Haines
off for more than a day, without
promising to deliver the goods. The
matter would have to be taken up
with the store credit men, they said.
In the meantime, it had been learned
from Mrs. Payne that she had placed
no such order for goods.
Bowman & Company employes also
became suspicious at the unusual
order. Headwork on the part of
salesgirls, Mrs. Florence Davis, Miss
May Rice and Miss Minerva Starry,
together with thJtt of the telephone
operator, Miss Anna McCoy, aided
In preventing the attempted robbery.
The first order was received on
Wednesday and yesterday there was
received a cancellatldn of part of this
first order and the placing of a re
quest for some substitute goods.
The first intimation that some
thing *was wrong came to the Bow
man authorities at the lunch hour
j yesterday noon. Several of the
:salesgirls were discussing the morn
ing's sales, and the SBOO one roused
[the suspicions of one or two, who
ffJCRRISBUKG TELEGRAPH
figured that it must be a frameup
of some sort. So they Sherlock
Holmesed it over to the telephone
operator and verified the fact that
the order had come in over the wire.
Mrs. Frank Payne, in whose name
the order had been placed, was com
municated with and disclaimed any
knowledge of the matter. .
The next step was to fix up dum
my packages and deliver them to
the Harrisburg Storage Company,
where a room had been rented for
their reception.
.Many on Case
Four Pinkerton detectives, led by
the local representative, Samuel H.
Brady and city detectives,
tailed on the case shortly after the
placing of the original orders. They
were assisted by a number of ama
teurs from both the department
stores. •
Telephone calls had been traced
to the Hill district. Suspicion was
directed to Miss Haines and it. was
after coming from a telephone booth
at the Philadelphia and Reading sta
tion that she was arrested by Detec
tive George Shuler. While in the
booth, she had been attempting to
cancel part of the initial order plac
ed with Bowman & Company and
to order other material.
She is said by the police to have
admitted her guilt.

Queens, who started from the West,
it was feared were lost !n mountain
snowstorms. While a few planes
were put out of the race yesterday,
there were no fatalities as on the
first day, when three flyers lost
their lives through accident.
Both the leaders in tho. contfest
to-day were facing possible disquali
fication. A ruie of the race speci

tenant Maynard made Cheyenne at
6.25 P. M., mountain time, last even

sun had gone down, and Captain
Smith reached Omaha fifty-five min
utes later. No action that might
eliminate them was reported over
night, however.
Maynard, piloting machine No. 31,
left Chicago at 7.09 a. m. Central
time, and flew 886 miles to-day, 76
miles more than he covered yester
day in sailing from New York to
Chicago. But his time, chiefly due
to adverse weather conditions, which
in one form or another extended al
most from coast to coast, was slow
er. He landed at Cheyenne at 6.25
p. m. Mountain time, having covered
a total distance of 1,696 miles in two
days.
Captain Smith, affier struggling
through three mountain snowstorms,
and over three mountain ranges,
reached Omaha at 7.20 o'clock last
night, having made 852 miles yes
terday without accident. His total
distance since the start at San Fran
cisco is 1,460.
The remarkable flights of May
nard and Smith for two days have
made the transcontinental race a
record event in this country. May
nard was unable to duplicate his
sensational speed of better than two
miles a minute for the 810 miles
from Mineola to Chicago, but in
