"When a Girl " By AXX LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CCCXXVI. (Copyright, 1919, Star Feature Syndicate, Inc.) "Bad beginning makes good end ing," says the old proverb. I quot ed this to myself earnestly, but it didn't do much to cheer the birth day which had begun so badly. In addition* to the pain of having Jim ignore "my day" there was the other pain of having him fail to tell me his plans. That suggested that he hadn't been willing to risk having me know lest I make a scene. Then there was the disap pointment in Uncle Ned. He had simply ignored—without even the grace to say he was sorry—my lit tle plea that he shouldn't take Jim away on my birthday. I felt unhappy, disillusioned and cheap—yes, cheap. ' Then I remembered that Xeal and i Phoebe had asked us to have dinner with them in the evening. I could i not bear the thought of being the I fifth wheel on the wagon the goose- j berry, at my own birthday celebra- | tion. Besides, my pride couldn't contemplate any more remarks from Phoebe on the subject oj how Xeal would never desert her for business. If those two youngsters had pitiad me for being alone the evening be fore. how they'd despise me when they found me deserted on my! birthday! "Tou have a little pride of your i own, Barbara Anna, to match the [ famous Harrison variety," I told . myself curtly. Then I swept to the telephone to ! call Xeal. Perhaps if I'd waited until I'd had a bit of breakfast I J would have come under the sway i of second sober thoughts and would i not have proceeded to perform that j silly operation known as cutting off j one's nose to spite one's face. But ! I was at the sort of nervous tension ! where one doesn't wait. When Xeal's voice came sleepily back to A Cuticura Stops 4^? Itching and M j Saves the Hair All drnjgtrts: 30p3.

Have you decided j where we're to go to-night?" "That's just it, if you'll let us off !we won't go. Jim has other plans." I temporized, skimming delicately ion the line between falsehoods I ! didn't want tto tell and the truth I wouldn't for the world disclose. "You won't go with us?" N*eal sounded like a hurt child. "If you'll be good sports attd let i us off," I replied with a lump in my I throat. ! "Of course if you don't want to j come—but we did so want you, j Babbsie." "I—we can't.

David Smith DeLaine sat in the office of Henry Andrews, giving courteous heed to what the lawyer was saying about stocks, bonds and other investments. David hoped he seemed to understand all that was said. Outwardly he was calm. Inward j ly his mind was in a turmoil. I It was almost an hour since the j truth had been communicated to I him, he reflected, glancing at the clock on the desk near which he I sat. An hour since he had been told that his uncle Francis De Lai ne, in dying had left a large for | tune, and that he, David Smith De- I Laine was the only heir. I "Mr. Francis DeLaine had made ! no reguular will," the lawyer had i explained. "But, strange to say, j only a few weeks ago he wrote to | me about a little business transac i tion I had with him years ago. In that letter he told me that he was not well, and said he supposed that when he died his brother's son would be the heir. He added that the law would make a good enough will for him, and that, although he knew little about you, he sup posed you were all right—that he got what he went west to get, and j cared very little what became of it after he was dead. He was very eccentric, you know." "Yes, so I have heard my aunt say." David replied. He was glad he could speak a short sentence sedately. He started now, as Andrews turned to him with— "l hope I make all these matters plain to you, Mr. DeLaine?" "Oh —ah —yes, I hope so," he said with a half smile. "To tell the i truth, Mr. Andrews, I can scarcely | grasp what all this means. But I want to put my affairs in your hands —and later I hope to be more clear-headed than I am to-day." Henry Andrews flushed with pleasure. I thank you, Mr., De- Laine! I shall do my best by you— as it was always my pleasure to do i by your aunt. I feel honored that j you aud she should repose so much confidence in me. And I congratu- ) late you on the acquisition of this fortune, my dear sir. I only wish that your aunt could have known of it." "Perhaps she does know now," the young man remarked gravely. Still in the Aair But the lawyer was not given to speculations on the state of those who had passed from mortal sight, so he changed the subject. "You know that the matter of the settlement of your aunt's es tate must hang fire for some time to come. You are her possible heir until two years after her death. Then, if you have not com plied with the terms she named, the property passes to Various charities." "Yes, I know." David said quickly. "I authorize you to pass it on now Andrews shook his head. "That | is something you have nothing to do -with my dear sir. "Unless (with a meaning smile) you in tend to comply with your aunt's re quest." David flushed hotly. "My aunt was aware that I had never met the young lady in question when she made that will." he said. "I cannot understand her suggesting such an arrangement." "Well, she had an eccentric streak in her make-up, as her brother Francis had if you will allow me to speak frankly. ,1 may add that I have never seen a sign of it in you—except (with a little laugh) in your neglecting to meet the girl of whom your aunt was so fond. I understand that she is very lovely." "I have no doubt of It" was the reply. "But the fact that my aunt was determined to throw me at her head was enough to make me wish to save the poor young lady the trouble of dodging." He felt a strange delight in talk-' ing of this girl whom he loved to a man who did not suspect that he had ever seen her. "Well," the lawyer said confiden tially, "there is now no harm in my telling you that your dear aunt complained to me that Miss Leigh ton seemed quite as averse to meet ing you as you to meeting her." ' ' ' t • t- "Ah?" The interrogative exclamation I was non-commital, but it was the only word that David could say at that instant. Then he added lamely and with an effort at a laugh: "I can hardly blame her." He Thanks tlie Lawyer After listening to a few more re marks on business matters, David arose and held out his hand. "I thank you very sincerely for the trouble you are taking for me, Mr. Andrews." He had never had a lawyer be fore and did not know if this was the kind of things one should say to ' his legal advisor. Yet he dfd feel grateful to him. "What are your plans for the ' Winter—lf it is not impertinent to j ask?" Andrews questioned. "To tell the truth," David con- I fessed, "I do not know. I have t made none." "Why not take a run out West and look over some of your uncle's property there? You know you ess well afford to travel now"—with a smile—"and it would undoubtedly complete your restoration to health, although if you are not entirely well now appearances are certainly deceptive." ~. * might go West," David rejoined, i must think it over—must take a few days in which to learn to be lieve that I am a man of property who can go and come as he pleases. But 1 must not get lazy." If you look well after your in vestments you will have enough to do to keep you out of mischief." Andrews assured him. "Good day!" David returned to his hotel think ing deeply. But what was upper most in his mind was not his newly acquired wealth, but the fact that Desireo had been so anxious to avoid seeing him in bygone days as he had been to avoid seeing her.

I met him while visiting a sis ter and learned to love him dearly. He in return showed some affec tion for me. I have known him four years and have corresponded with him during that length of time. A year ago he enlisted and left for France, but promised to present me with a diamond ring if he returned. I had written to him to keep him in good spirits all the time he was abroad. On his return he went West and I did not hear from him for four weeks and his message was to the effect that he is very busy. Therefore I am under the im pression that he no longer cares to write to me. It Is now five weeks and I have not replied to his letter. As tired as I would be coming home from business during his stay j • France I was never too busy to write to htm. Does it pay to be true to any man?

FAII.S TO KEEP PROMISES DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am on friendly terms with a young man who is my senior by quite a number of years. Please do not misunderstand me, I am not in love with this young man, nor do I believe he is in love with me. We are just good friends. He has always treated mc with admirable courtesy and considera tion. There is but one thing that mars our friendship. He has a ten dency to break promises. Do you think I should talk this over with him and come to some sort of an understanding? I value his friend shiy very much indeed. J. P. C. i I think you are a little too con siderate of this friend who breaks promises. In your case, I believe I should be tempted to retaliate In kind, but as you are too consider ate to do this, why not talk with him fully and frankly, and let hint know how you feel about it.
