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-

"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.

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."

CHAPTER LXXVin.
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?"

Waist 3027, skirt 3004.
For home or business wear this
costume is very acceptable. The waist
made from -pattern 3027, would bo

The waist is cut in 7 sizes: 34,
36, 38, 40, 42, 44 and 46 inches bust
measure. Size 38 will require 3 1-2
yards of 27-inch material. The skirt
is cut in 7 sizes also: 22, 24, 28, SO,
32 and 34 nches waist measure. 2 1-2
yards of 48-inch material will make

Smith Is Surprised
Again he was surprised. 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.

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.

As in most great cristes, he felt as if
possessed by another personality
than his o^n—a personality who
spoke and acted through him.
"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

"I know that," she said.
