" When a Girl Marries" By ANN 1.151.1C A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife CHAPTER, OOOXXIV (Copyright, 1919, Star Feature Syn dicate, Inc.) "Yes I've a confession to make," I repeated. Intent as I was, however, on the fact that I was about to take Jim completely into my confidence, I noted his odd manner of accepting my statement. Then suddenly I found I dodn't know where to start. I swept back to the very begiiyiing—the loss of the ring, my realization that only two persons had had a chance to take it and Bertha's confession that her husband was a crook Just out of jail and that she didn't dare stay in service with me. "You said only two persons had a chance at the ring," interrupted Jim gravely. "Have you forgotten Booth?" "No, but of curse he wouldn't," I began evasively, choking back my Inclination to add, "and even though you dislike him, you know that." Then I blurted out "Oh, I felt from the beginning that it was Daisy." "So did I," replied Jim calmly. "You knew?" I gasped. "I can't say I knew. But I knew what you thought." "Oh, Jim—l wasn't very clever at hiding my suspicions." "You were clever enough for the honest, transparent darling you are," replied Jim smiling over the chairtop sweetly and understand ingly. "But I'm your husband I've spent a while studying you, living with you, coming to be more and more completely one with you. Your mental processes aren't dark to me." "Jim!" I cried in the light of a revelation. "Early this evening when you asked if I trusted you fully and entirely—this was what you meant. When you said if it wasn't for my wanting to help folks we'd have come to a nasty place in our. affairs more than once within the past weeks—again you were thinking of this. Oh l've been such a fool, thinking I was so clever all along " "Do you want to be cleverer than I?" asked Jim gravely. I leaped to my feet and ran to his side. "No, I don't!" I cried putting my arms around his neck and laying my George Weidman Formerly at 114 S. Second Street, is now open for business at 16th & Walnut Sts. WITH A LINE OF Choice Meats, Etc.

"I want you to be Just what you are—dozens of times smarter and more efficient than I am. I'm your wife —that's what I am. Jim Harrison's wife. I'd hate to have it the other way around and you merely Barbara Anne Lee's husband." "Bless your heart; you dear, hu man, fuhny little thing, you're the cleverest person hereabouts. But I'm used to thinking things out - in a game where you' have to out guess the other fellow. Ann, you'ie a good sport and a nervy little gambler. Now go on with your story, please." "Jim," I said, stumbllngly. "I'll never forget that you let me work It out. You made yourself sympa thize with me even if you couldn't with my poor Kate's little sister. And I guess you just ached to get into the game and make a decisive move." "I sure did!" laughed Jim, rem iniscently. "But it was your game. You see, kiddie, that gambling spirit you hate in me was on your side this time." "How?" I cried. "Well, ive told you my theory before. The fellow with a good poker face and a fine sporting dis position wins no matter what cards the other fellow holds. You kept a straight face that told noth ing. And you acted like the whit est little sport I've ever heard tell of. You couldn't help winning in the end. You had the kid licked from the start. So I held off. I'd have hated it if you could have gone on much longer without tell ing me. What made you decide to night? Notice anything? See any thing—-queer?" "Why no," I replied, and told him of my search for the blue dress I'd given Daisy and of the way I'd had a mental housecleaning while I was rensacking the place for it." J "Now I've a confession to make," j said Jim. "You?" I asked uneasily. "Sure. When I breezed into the room and found the ring lying there I noticed a parcel on the chair. Thought it was some new shirts I'd ordered. Opened her up. Found that blue dress. Oceans too small for you. Suddenly figured out whom I'd seen wear it. Flung it into my closet because 1 didn't want to force your hand. And then you came in and finding me with the ring and the lavender thing you'd worn when the jewel was lifted and couldn't tell me an out and out lie, but. thought I'd fall for your yarning to Uncle Ned over the phone." "Oh, Jim!" I cried hiding my face on his shoulder. "The blue dress is on the shelf of; my closet," said Jim." I thought you'd have to come to me about it eventually." "I came without having to," T said softly. "I'll always be glad of that. T'm always coming to you about things, dear. Maybe some day you'll come to me. Then there will be perfect confidence between us. Jim gave me an odd start and con trolled it suddenly. Then he said returning with obvious relief to the subject of Daisy: "Now the next thing is to get the dress back to the kid. She needs it like the very old Harry—that I'll bet." "Jim, darling, you're wonderful!" I cried. "I haven't told you how agonizingly she took it how she j Bringing - * - 1919, Intemation|l ervice . By^McManus^ suffered and wanted to pay by going to jail. I haven't even told you she brought it back of her own free will. And yet you understand. You have pity for her." "Pity!" repeated Jim, and I was never more surprised that at the way he said that, for I'd thought the Hav rison pride had no understanding of the need of mercy. "Pity? We all need it. Go as far as you like with the Condon child or apyone else you want to help. I'm with you." "We'ro together." I said. "To gether at last." And if Fate knew what was going to happen the very next day—how she must have grinned.

Desiree was the only creature whom Samuel Leighton loved deeply, and, had Smith been her equal, he would have been irritated by her champion ship of the young man As it was, added to the parent's natural jeol ousy was his wounded pride that his daughter should show a sentimental loyalty for a man in his employ— a chauffeur of whom he knew noth ing except what an unknown cor respondent had written. Leighton had already forgotten that only a few hours ago he had declared to Jefferson his confidence in Smith. It was one thing to be | lieve the fellow was honest, but quite another for Desiree to try to prove the chauffeur in the right and her father in the wrong. For a while Leigh ton was very angry. His temper was of the quick and rather violent type. But his love for the child was stronger than his temper. When he had sat alone j smoking for an hour, after Desiree had retired to her room, he was willing to regard the whole affair ! in a more temperate spirit. 1 Of course, Desiree has spoken ! very foolishly yet, after all, sh3 ; was ony a girl and had inherited . her mother's impulsive disposition. The man's face softened as he re membered Desiree's mother —so like her child in looks and disposition. Desiree had been attracted by this ! good-looking chap, first because lie i had had a wound stripe on his i sleeve —then because he had been I suspected of a theft of which he was innocent. Any warm-hearted girl would { have espoused the cause of a young soldier who had been wrongfully accused. So, after all, Desiree, with her sentimental tendencies, could j scarcely be b'amed for her passing | indignation. Her father was sure that it was a I passing sentiment. For one thing i —she would never see Smith again, i The chauffeur had left his position In anger. H,e would know better than to show his face here in the I future. He need never expect his former employer to recommend him to anyone! A Comforting Reflection A second later Leighton was call ing himself a fool for fancying that Smith would ask a favor of him. , "X really can't blame the chop for getting a bit hot over the situ ation." he mused. "Had I been in his shoes X would have been vexed, too. But now he is gone and we can drop him and his behavior from our minds. In a few days Desiree will have forgotten all about him." With this comforting reflection he went to bed and to sleep. Desiree, too, spent an hour in deep thought—although she went to bed and put out her light before letting her thoughts dwell on her recent dlsnute with her father. She tried to convince her con science that she had been In the wrong—but her efforts were vain. Surely she had been right In resent | Ing her father's sneers at a man who j had been his faithful employe. | Then she appreciated that In tak llng this line of argument she was I not dealing honestly with herselr. | A Short Visit With a Lasting Memory "X never know what to make for , nessert whon the maid's away," said , Mrs. Martin as she glanced at the clock, and put aside her sowing, | "Ijet me get it for you," said Mrs. I Blair who was visiting her for a few days. "I'd love to do it." Dinner time came, and Mrs. Blair, who had Insisted on making the des sert with utmost secrecy, left tho table and returned with a rich, brown chocolate blanc mange, "Tastes even better than It looks " said Mrs. Martin .delightedly. "How did you make it?" "WXiy It's Puddine," replied Mrs Bialr mysteriously, "wonderful Pud dine." "I Insist upon knowing all about it. Where did you get It, and what . is it?" laughed her friend, j "I'll tell you. I slipped out and got I it at your grocer's," said Mrs. Blair, j "Jack loves cornstarch pudding and ■if there was one thing I couldn't j make, it was cornstarch pudding or I blanc mange. Then I heard of Pud i dine." "Is it hard to make or expensive?" j interrupted Mrs. Martin. "Oh, no, indeed. All you have to do | is to add milk, either fresh or con i densed, and sugar, and boil for three i minutes. Then when It's cool, you i have a firm, rich mound of delicious | creamy dessert. And a 15c box of Puddine will serve 15 people." | "The only thing is," objected Mrs. Martin, "the children are not so fond of chocolate, and I guess it's really , too rich for them anyhow." [ "Oh, no," exclaimed Mrs. Blair. "It isn't too rich. Why, it's so pure and | wholesome you can let them have as ! much as they want—and it comes in ! any number of flavors —rose, vanilla, I orange, lemon—and you can make all ! sorts of things with Puddine—creamy ' cake and pie fillings, and smooth ice i cream." "That being the case," smiled Mr. Martin, who had listened to their con versation with interest. "I vote for I Puddine. It certaialy is good." Puddine can be had at your gro wer's! Order a box to-day I —Adv. She had championed Smith because she cared for him. In the darkness of her rooni she felt the hot blood rush to her cheeks with the admission. But she must be candid with herself. She trusted Smith entirely. She longed to see him again. Her father had said that his cnauffeur's real name was not Smith. She could scarcely credit this state ment -yet her father had spoken as one who was certain of what he said. She would die sooner than ask for an explanation. And, any, way, if the young man was using an assumed nnrne, it was not because he had dishonored his own name. Of that she was certain. Then, as at other times, she dwelt on her father's goodness to her. She loved her parent He was all she v!? tJP spite of her indignation at his attitude, she must remember her duty to him. She would show by her manner that she loved him and nia not harbor any ungracious senti ment toward him. A Change of Attitude This hour of communing resulted in a pleasant and affectionate inter f'' a . n^ e , , oC greetings at the break fast table the following morning.

Desiree was silent, but a shade of disappointment crossed her face. Her father saw it. "You want me to engage him?" he demanded. Her voice was indifferent. "1J might like to use the ear to-day if i we had a chauffeur but never mind." "Well," Leighton said, "perhaps 11 may look up this man's credentials. After all, Smith did not know him I —never saw him until the fellow asked him about a job and said that he could furnish good refer ences. Since you wish it, 1 will see! about him to-day." "Oh, not on my account," Deslrce' said hastily. "I take so little ex-1 ercise it might be a good thing for me to do without the car for a while and walk every day." Leighton gazed at her, puzzled by her change of attitude. He could not know that, since learning that the suggested chauffeur was not even an acquaintance of Smith's she did not care whether her father en gaged him or not.

"During my visit to the fair build- J ings," he said, "I heard constant [ complaints about the lack of coal. We have the workers and we have the orders in plenty, we can easily get millions, even billions of orders. But when I asked each individual exhibitor why he did not accept orders he replied invariably that he lacked row material and fuel. It is I true that every effort is being made , to force Germany back into an in j ferior place, not in the usual way jof competition, but through politi- I cal methods.

"We need the world market. The pressure will tie removed from Ger many, and we will get credit abroad. We must be convinced that we are again to climb.
