"When a Girl " By ANX LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CCCXXXII [Copyright, 1919, King Feature Syn dicate, Inc.] After the mishap of the first eve ning. when Phoebe and Neal got lost trying to walk around the lake, my week-end with the two kiddies was completely happy and almost without incident. I succeeded in getting my apart ment by telephone Sunday morning,! and Hedwig assured me that there was no message from "Mr. Harrison." 1 As she insisted that she hadn't left the apartment alone for a minute of my stay, I didn't argue, but blamed j "Central," on whom we put so much ■ nowadays, and. attributing Jim's si-i lence to the same agency,. I managed | not o worry. When thoughts of Daisy and Tom j threatened to disturb I resolutely put; them aside. Hadn't I determined not; to be be "Mrs. Fix-It" any longer'.'; Hadn't I promised Jim as much? Why j make myself miserable over Tom's j philanderings with a girl who—even j if she was my dead friend Kate's lit- ; tie sister—was also a thiof? But I somehow, one worry refused to leave j nie—would it have been better for ine to have chaperoned the party Tom ; had suggested: Phoebe and Neal, Irmu j Warren and her uncle, who would have done pretty, well to chaperone ; me? We arrived home about 9 Sunday ! evening, and whatever doubts and i fears I had were more than counter- j balanced by Phoebe's gratitude to me : for making her holiday possible. I 'Our Neal is such a darling! You kr.ow It. don't you Anne?" she whis-j pered at my threshold. when Neal [ went ahead to carry my bags and ! light up the place for me. "You don't: blame me for getting desperate for j the way I have to wait and wait and ! just wait—do you?" "No. I don't honey-girl," I said. | liorrowing Neal's name for her, "I, just ache for you sometimes when i stop to think how happy you'd be in a little nest of your own.

THE LOVE GAMBLER I By Virginia Terhune Van de Water . CHAPTER LXXIII. [Copyright," 1919, Star Company.] For a moment after Miss Bristoe had finished speaking there was si lence in the room. David's eyes were still fixed on the glowing coals in the grate, but even in the firelight his very lips were pale. His hostess leaned forward and laid her hand on his. "David—do not look so distressed, dear boy! I tried to persuade De siree when 1 last saw her that yon knew nothing of this affair/' "When was that?" "The Sunday evening in October when I took supper at the Leigh tons. 1 saw you that day in church, you know?" "Yes." "Well, I mentioned that to De siree at supper. She said she had never seen you and did not want to. I could not discuss the sub ject then, for her father and aunt were present. But when 1 went upstairs to put on my wraps before leaving I spoke of you and told her I was sure you were in igno rance of the terms of your aunt's will even after her death. " 'He must know them now!' she said stiffly. "I acknowledged that you prob ably did, and had been shocked bj them, and had made no effort t< see her." "And what did she say then?' David asked. "She frowned and stood up ver; straight and remarked that unles: a man was a fool he would hardl; force himself upon any girl undei such circumstances. I believe yoi hurt her vanity in the beginning bi not calling on her when she firs visitccj in Baltimore, for she said "He avoided meeting me before hi; aunt died. He could hardly have th< assurance to attempt to do so now!" "She has a very thorough disgus for me, hasn't she?" The spinster regarded the ques tioner solicitously. His face was white and strained. She would not have told him this story if she had supposed it would affect him like this. Miss Bristol's Argument "Dear boy," she soothed, "why should you care now? As time passes and it becomes known that you do not need to marry to increase your income" —with an affectionate smile—"everyone will comprehend that you are not a fortune-seeker. Moreover, why should you care what ii girl who does not know you thinks of you?" "I do care!" he insisted. "I care very much. No man wants to be considered a cad—lease of all by a woman whose respect he would like to win. You see," hastily, as an expression of surprise crossed his companion's face, "I have heard so much of Miss Leighton that I feel almost as if I were acquainted with her. I am averse to incurring the hatred of anyone whom Aunt Jeanne loved." "I do not believe Desiree hates sou, David," Miss Bristol argued. "I shall write to her some time and tell her that you have an independ ent fortune, that you have fought In France and been wounded; that she is mistaken in her estimate of son—" "Please, please, my dear Miss Bristol, do not do anything of the kind!" David protested vehementlv, hecking her offer to be the god less of the machine. "I must beg rou as a friend of mine never to mention me to Miss Leighton until I give you permission to do .so. Moreover, T do not want her to know that I have a cent of my own —just yet. And now let us talk of ither matters." Miss Bristol followed his lead, but ''he saw that, in spite of his gallant pfforts to be natural, what she had told him rankled. His eyes were not as clear, nor Ins laugh as readv as it had been ea'rlier in the eve ning. When he arose to take his de parture she half npo'ogized for the revelations she had made. "David," she said. "I feel most uncomfortable about having told you what your aunt confided to me — about Desiree Leighton, and all that. Yote, as Jeanne's nephew, it seemed to me that you had a right to hear it. But I hope you do not regret coming here this evening and lis tening to an indiscreet old woman's endless prattle." "On the contrary, dear Miss Bris tol," he assured her, "this is just where I wanted to come to-nlglit, and what you have told me is ex actly the information I sought. Valuable Information "I have fancied that Miss Leigh ton objected to making my acquaint ance. I cannot blame her—now that I am aware of all that she has be lieved about me." "Well —I think it is too bad that you and she did not meet long ago —long before all this matter of th" will ever came up. If you had, I doubt if.your poor aunt would hat;e gone to such an extreme as putting that ridiculous provision in her will And, David, if you could have known Desiree I am sure you could not have helped liking her at once." "I am sure of that," he murmured. "She is really beautiful, I think," Miss Bristol continued, "and she is very broad in her views, too. Even after what your aunt said and did, Desiree acknowledged to me when I had that talk with her In New 1 W that she did not blame Jeanne that she supposed the poor dear was not quite sane on the matter of you and your future and thought she was doing right in making that dreadful provision. And Desiree has never even discussed the matter with her father, "it would not be quite fair to Miss DeLaine," she said so sweetly "She was not herself at the last. Wasn't that a lovely way to put it?" • ;y es \". the man replied softly. "It is the kind of thing one would ex pect of her." Then, before his hostess could ask for an explanation of this remark, he uttered his brief adieus and de parted. • (To Be Continued.) Plant trees.
