" When a Girl Marries" By AK.\ LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife CHAPTER iCCCXLII. (Copyright, 1919, King Feature Syn dicate, Inc.) Up the path, and away from the summer house, Jim and I scampered in silence. When we reached the side porch of the old homestead we wheeled abruptly, seized each other's hands and solemnly did a dance of triumph. We didn't stop till we were out of breath. Then we stared at each other with shining eyes. "Isn't it wonderful?" I whispered at last. "When I saw Jeanie stand up and fling back her arms and heard her calling Pat, I thought I'd Just, die of happiness. Jimmie, Jinimie-boy, it's all come right." "I know, dearest," said Jim, pull ing me down on the porch steps and drawing me close. "It's come right. And, by pingo, 1 think its because you worked and prayed so hard for it. "Weren't we a couple of boobs though to duck the show just when they threw the close-up on the screen. ?" "Jim!" I began almost horrified, J and then the truth struck home to me. "I was dying to —peek, too. That's why I ran so fast. If I'd stayed another minute, I'd be there: yet." "Yep! That clinch had more heart interest than the best drama at three-thirty a ticket with war tax and agent's fees," said Jim. "And it happened so smooth and easy. Wonder if it would be all right to go down and offer congratulations?" "We mustn't!" I gasped, clutching his coat in fear lest he spoil things by rushing in too soon. * * * "You bet you mustn't!" broke in Neal's voice from the porch above us. "If the host and hostess moon all over the grounds like this, what do they expect of the company? Well, here's our Phoebikins. Now you've got her, what do you want of her?" And what did you do with Pat?" "Tell 'em Lilac Lady," said Jim. "It's your right" "Pat is down in the summer houso —with Virginia," I began without pramble and concluded in a gasp as there was a whirl of skirts and Phoebe dashed headlong where we had feared to tread. Sheepishly, like three naughty children. Neal and Jim and T fol lowed after and tiptoed down the path to find Phoebe and Jeanie in each other's arms laughing and orv ing, while Pat stood by offering both of them soothing love-taps and. looking as out of place as the groom at a wedding. [ I kissed Pat and Jeanie hugged Neal, and Phoebe perched on Jim's j knee demanding that she be maid • ' of honor at the wedding. "There won't be any wedding," said Pnt. Virginia nodded, and my heart thudded down an inch or two. "There won't be any wedding?" cried Phoebe, bouncing to her feet. "But there just will. If you chil dren haven't finished making up, we'll withdraw and let you." "You might withdraw—and with draw the bunch you've got down here by evening," said Pat quietly. "We'd like the place to ourselves. Jeanie and I, if you don't think it's unsociable of us to dispense with company and chaperonage.'-' Virginia, shining-eyed, blushing and amazingly sweet and acquies cent, nodded again and seemed con tent to let Pat run things. But not so Phoebe. "You'd like the place to your selves? Are you mad, Pat Dalton?" she demanded. "Yes," little Phoebe," replied Pat. "Mad with joy to have my wife again. Mad with joy to think Vir ginia is still my wife in heart as w-ell as in name. Mad to have my second honeymoon" Phoebe subsided, burying her face on Jim's shoulder and half- Happy Days Follow The Flight of the Stork SO profound is the effect which the unborn infant has If upon the mother that she mav be said to tingle to I I |!| her very finger tips.

TUESDAY EVENING, sobbing, half-giggling out her con fession: "You'll think I'm dreadful I didn't know you were married any more I was only trying to look out for Virginia. I thought after a separation" "You darling!" breathed Neal. And as Jim held Phoebe very close, Pat came over and laid his hands gently on her bent head. "Little sister," he said in his deep, caressing voice. "Jeanie haa never stopped being my wife. The sepa ration was nothing at all—nothing but words that the law and our own hearts agreed we've a right forget. So we've a second honeymoon which, saving your presence, we're ready to take." "Were you at the Inn, Jeanie?" I asked, after casting around in my mind for something with which to I break the awe-struck silence into which we had fallen for a moment. "Yes, dear—l've been going there for week-ends all this month. I had to.be near the old place. Deep down in my heart I think I was waiting for the miracle I knew, Anne, you longed to bring about." "That's why the place looked so lived-in," I said with great satis faction. "I couldn't see why, but it didn't look like an empty house just opened for the day." "And now. little fairy godmother, your next task is to get rid of the visitors by the time we return this evening. Can you do that?" asked Pat. "And without giving away our secret? The whole town needn't start gossiping about us right away." "Can I do that?" I laughed. "Watch me. What's my next job?" It was Virginia who replied. "Tour next job, dear, is to help me plan for a real wedding out hero at Drenmwold." "Dreamwold ?" I echoed. "A wed ding?" "That's the very name for our home, where dreams come true. And the next fellow to have his dreams come true here will be you, young Neal." "'And so they were married and lived happy ever after.' It's better than a fairy tale," I said. "It's the sweetest story ever told," murmured Virginia, her happy eyes, on Pat. "And now, if we may have your car. Anne, we'll go_ over to the Inn to breakfast." "'While we go in and clear the way for the honeymoon," said Jim. (To Be Continued.) British Officers to Settle' on Mexican Ranch London. Nov. 4.—Brigadier-Gen eral A. C. Critchley, is going to take a chosen party of 50 fellow British officers to settle on a million-acre ranch about 400 miles north of Mexico City. He says Mexico is "the coming country of the world." Discussing the reported opposi tion to his colonization scheme of the British and American govern ments. he said: "We are not going out to stir up trouble. I have no urgent need of taking the officers with me, but X want to give the lads a chance if they've got enough grit in them to make good, and I want company. Both my father and my mother are coming out with me, but with fifty Englishmen in the party we can be very happy."

The clock in the hall had just chimed the quarter before 9 when Desiree heard David's ring. She sat still and waited, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. The maid came from the rear of the house and opened the front door. She had never seen her employ er's former chauffeur, therefore treated him ad an ordinary caller. Desiree could hear her deferential tones as she offered to take his coat and hat from him. There was a pause while the man divested himself of his coat. The maid ushered him into the drawing room. Desiree rose as he entered, and the dark blue portieres closed behind him. The room was lighted only by shaded globes that threw a soft glow over everything. As in a flash David remembered how he had stood there by this girl weeks ago— when he had first entered her faher's employ—and how, for a mo men, he had felt that he was once more in his own place. Had that feeling been a premonition—or a warning? He drew himself together and looked at his hostess. She was pale, but self-contained. She wore, as the first time he saw her, light violet color. Her semi evening dress showed her white throat. Around it was a slender chain from which hung the ame thyst and diamond pendant. He tried to keep his eyes from resting on it; "Good evening. Si, th," she said, holding out her hand to him. He had not expected this. Tak ing her hand, he boned low over it, then released it. "You are very kind to see me this evening, Miss Leighton," he heard himself saying. "I am glad to see you," she re joined with the ease of a thorough bred. "I had no. other engagement. Won't you sit down?" DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS Waist 3027, skirt 3004. For home or business wear this costume is very acceptable.

As she seated herself, he took an upright chair near her. "You wanted to speak to me about a matter of business, I think at least that is what I inferred from your letter." He hesitated. Her self-possession calmed him, yet he did not want to make a false step. He could not know what agitation her placid exterior hid. As she gazed at him sitting there in her drawing-room her heart was beat ing madly. She had always thought him good looking. To-night l.e seemed handsomer than any other man she had ever seen. She longed to beg him to tell her about him self —to speak to her as if he were | her friend—as if— "Hardly business —in one way," he amended, and she listened eager ly. "1 wrote that it was a matter of some importance to me. I can hardly hope it will be of any par ticular moment to you. It is about —someone in whom I happen to be interested."

A Wise Mother and a Good Dessert "I wish I could find something for the children that they would like as well as cornstarch pudding or blanc mange," said Mrs. Matthews, as she and Mrs. Kdmonds sat talking one afternoon. "They're such a nuisance to make, and one never knows whether they are going to turn out right." Why don't you make Puddine? That always turns out right," replied her friend. "Puddine?" questioned Mrs. Mat thews. with interest. "What is it? Another dessert that sometimes is a success, but generally isn't?" "No, indeed," said Mrs. lCdmonds emphatically. "Puddine is a per fectly wonderful dessert that always turns out right. You just, add milk and sugar to it and boil for three minutes, and yo-u know that when it has cooled yoif will have a nice, rich moid of delicious creamy dessert." "It sounds wonderful," interrupted Mrs. Matthews. "It is wonderful," replied Mrs. Kd monds. "You can get it in a number of flavors—chocolate, vanilla, orange, lemon—and you can use Puddine for all sorts of things. It. makes the most luscious cake and pie fillings, and smooth, velvety Ice cream." "Is it expensive?" asked her friend, j "Oh, no, indeed. A 15c package of Puddine will serve 15 people. And then what I like about it is that I can let the children have as much as they want, because It is pure and whole some." "I certainly shall get some Pud dine," said Mrs. Matthews. "I'm glad you told me about it." A week later the two friends were talking together on the phone. "By the way," said Mrs. Matthews, "my whole family simply loves Puddine. "I think they'd like to have it for every meal. I certainly am glad you told me about it. • Include a box of Puddine with to day's grocery order.—Adv. ing. It was a person who under stood the Engljsh language and who at his ease in Samuel Leighton's drawing-room. His er rand might make him nervous, his surroundings did not. Desiree smiled politely. "A friend of your?" she asked. She was disappointed. Perhaps, after all, he had come to suggest to her that her father employ some one in whom he was interested. Yet why should he—a man of the world and a gentleman—come to her about this? "I shall be glad to hear anything you have to say about any one in whom you are interested," she added perfunctorily. "I thank you. The man to whom I refer Is the nephew of an old friend of yours—Miss Jeanne De Laine." Desiree Is Astonished She started in astonishment, and a shadow crossed her face. "Is he a friend of yours?" she demanded coldly. "Yes—that is—perhaps I should say rather that he is an acquaint ance of mine. I have known him all my life. He has heard of you very often. "Ah!" even more coldly than be fore. "I have heard of him. too. But I have never met him. I know of him only through his aunt." One who was not cognizant with the particulars of the case would have known from her manner that she despised the subject of this dia logue. David was assailed by a fear that she would forbid him to mention the name of De Laine in her pres ence. I understand that you have never cared to meet him. I, myself, can well appreciate that." "Why?" she demanded. "Whv ?°"' d /Of fancy I would not care to meet him?" He saw that she suspected he knew something about David De Laine s possible inheritance, hi., w an d erful courage came to how - n Ve , rJ thi . nfe ' depended upon how \%ell he played his part now.

"Because of what you have heard of him," he replied bluntly. "I must ask you to forgive me for speaking so frankly. But De Laine fancies you think him a lazy hulk who has been waiting all these years for his aunt's fortune. So I, knowing him rather well, have taken the liberty of coming here to-night to tell you that he will never in herit one bit of his aunt' estate." "I know that," she said. "Indeed?" with well-feigned sur prise. "Then I was mistaken in thinking that nobody but his lawyer and myself knew that he has signed away all present or future rights to a single cent of Miss De Laine's for tune." To Be Continued.
