" When a Girl " U.v A XX LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife (Copyright, 1919, King Feature Syndicate, Inc.) CHAPTER CCCXLIII "I never knew you could be 60 restless. Anne," said Val indolently, as we stood on the front porch of the old Harrison place, whence 1 was whisking my guests on the morning of Virginia's happy recon ciliation with Pat. "If Jim didn't spoil you fright fully we wouldn't be chasing off to pastures new without half seeing this lovely estate," went on Val, in a tone meant for Jim's ears as he came back from directing Lyons, the chauffeur, about arranging the luggage on our car. Naturally, Anne wants to try out her new car," said Jim, taking up her challenge. "You can come to Dreamwold another time, Val"— "Dreamwold? Since when has the old Harrison place another name? demanded Val, fixing nar row eyes on Jim. "Oh, we called it by our own name when we didn't own it. Hut now the old homestead is ours again, we don't need to swank about it," replied Jim, lamely. "I see." said Val smiling, and with her voice at its creamiest. "But we can't all leave - Dream wold in Anne's new cttr. Whb's go ing to drive the little one you came out in? And what's become of it? You haven't a family ghost who runs away with autos, have you? Maybe the family ghost is making Anne spirit us all away!" "Whose birthday party is this, anyway?" demanded Jim, in a fa cetious tone meant to rob the words of their sting. "Oh, these men in love with their wives! And this 'the queen can do no wrong stuff,' " said Val insolent ly in the old manner that hadn't been in evidence since her fear of Evvy Mason chastened her, and Aunt Mollie's coming sweetened her se ductiveness to womanliness. Then she sauntered off to join Uncle Ned and Aunt Mollie, who were cutting flowers to bear city wards with us. "You might have told her that Neal would join us in the little car as soon as it comes back," I sug gested to Jim. "And have her ask where it's com ing back from?" replied Jim. "No, kiddie, that would have spilled the beans. Pat and Jeannie'll have enough gossip to face when the thing leaks out—no use our starting the flood. , We'll stall along to-day as Pat asked. And by to-morrow this bunch will forget anything it's puzzling over now. Here goes to blame it on you some more. Come on, folks—the caravan moves, for j .. .

Harris Hotel Building, Optician Nortli Tl.'itd Stre-t : WEDNESDAY EVENING, 'this little girl of mine's all on tip- j toe to try out her new car." As we were helping our guests | into the car, 1 happened to gai.ee i up at the Romeo and Juliet balcony ; front which, eaily in the morning. ! I had seen Virginia strolling up the (river path to the summer house. ; Cowering against the wall and halt I hidden by the vines of the balcony, I saw Bertha, who had been left (behind to close the house. She was] waiving to the new chauffeur, and j there was something In her manner: at once impassioned and pleading. "Oh. do you mind waiting a mo- J niont?" 1 asked, in a tone I tried to! make casual. "1 forgot something.". "Let me get it for you," chorused ' [Jim and Neal, But protesting that I didn't know i jjust where to look, I hurried back! to the house and up to my room,] lOf course, the woman had left,' (warned by my leaving the car —so] my room was empty. From there l| raced down to the kitchen. Bertha looked up in well-simulated as-1 tonishment from the dishpar where < she was whisking the soap sifter| around vigorously. "Did you forget something, Mrs. Harrison? 11l he glad to find it for) ( you," she said drying her hands on j I her apron as she spoke. "I forgot to ask you about your; husband." 1 repied. "I hope he has; found work and left his dishonest ways!" Her face went chalk white, but i she managed to sneak calmly. "Oh, he has, Mrs. Harrison. He's] repented of his mistakes and ho luisi found a chance to earn an honest, living. And if he isn't hounded out of it. and folks trust him, I knowj he'll make good." "Do you think he's a man to be I trusted?" I asked. "Once you left I my employ because you felt that ] he'd follow you and make you help him rob us. Why do you feel so] differently now?" "I do." said Bertha sullenly. "T do. lie's changed, and T know it. ] But if anyone was to take advan tage of what I told 'em though r j had no call to. they might drive him j back again to where he was." "And if 1 don't take advantage of; what you told me. even though you | didn't have to. Bertha." I asked sternly, "what then? What were you doing in my room the moment I eft? llow do I know what influ ence this man has on you?" "Do you think I ain't honest?" Bertha cried. " Maybe you'd rather I left at once, without putting the 1 place in order. Maybe you think the minute your back is turned I'll be lettin' my poor Matt in to grab off the whole place?"
