" When a Girl Marries" By ANSI LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife Copyright, 1919, King Syndicate, Inc. CHAII'EH CCC'XLIV When I came back from my strange intervlw with Bertha, two cars stood where only my big limousnc had been a few minutes before. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry or just to run away from the last complication to an already difficult situation. The second car was Sheldon Blake's big gray speedster, and standing in the path chatting with the guests in lny car, was Shelly himself. There was somethig unpleasant in the irony of that fate that had brought him to the old Harrison place on the very day when Virginia and I'ut came into their own again. There was no getting away from the fact that Shelly's attentions to Virginia had been very conspicuous, and I suspected that he wouldn't re joice when he found out that she. was reconciled to her husband. For a mo ment the gay and gallant Shelly look ed to me like a ghost of someone's dead parft. Then 1 pulled myself to gether, pinned my faitn on Jim and went out to greet the latest arrival. Directly I said a word of welcome to Shelly, Jim broke in, giving me my cue: "Aren't Shelly and his empty car I blessings, Anne?" he explained. "Shel-1 ly heard over at Mason Towers that we were having a house party, and thought he'd drive over to welcome the Harrisons home. And now if you'll persuade Mr. Booth to join us in our pilgrimage young Phoebe and her Neal won't have to trail along after tis by train." "Will you be a good Samaritan?" I asked, "and give as your hospital ity, since we're not staying on to offer you the freedom of the old homestead?" "You don't need me. You've your little car," blundered Sheldon, and added in a tone that told tne Evvy had been playing pranks again. "I didn't want to intrude. Some of the Swiss Mission fellows were over at the Mason place, so I butted out— but that doesn't mean you have to let me butt in here by pretending you need my car. Anyway, I'll be the Odd man." "The little car has been spirited away by the Harrison family ghost." Val broke in with an arresting laugh. "But Mrs. Harrison is in one of her restless moods this morning, so per haps she'll ride in your car, Mr. Blake. 'That would give her the change and variety she seeks, and keep her from feeling lik the fifth wheel on your own auto." "Will you so honor me?" asked Sheldon, turning to ine with mock gallantry. "I couldn't leave my own car on this first trip," I explained. "But if Mrs. Cosby is in a generous mood she'll volunter to preserve the bal ance in your car Shelly. Of course, I can't put one of our guests out" — "Not out of your car, but out of your house," murmured Val, instant ly transferring herself with Shelly's help from the blue auto to the gray' one. This was the signal for general em barkation, and I could imagine that Jim and Phoebe shared my relief when we were off at last. I kept wondering if Pat would miscalculate his time and come sweeping up the driveway before we had swept down it. But we got to the gate without mishap, and then Shelly's car, which was in the lead, turned east instead o? west and went back toward the cross-roads. There was nothing for us to do but follow. With dismay I realized that this change of direction would take us right by the inn, and that in all prob ability my little old car would be parked in the green which was clear ly visible from the highway. How ever, there was an even chance that no one who wasn't in our secret would observe this. It seemed silly to be nervous about our change of direction, but I felt that Val, who was seated at Shelly's side, had some part in it. She didn't keep me in doubt, but be gan her campaign as soon as we were established in the dining room of the Mountain Inn, which was our redez vcus. Pretty little place that crossroads inn, isn't it. Aunt Molly? I persuaded Mr. Blake to drive by there as I thought we might stay the night, and and not cut our excursion short. You know, Anne dear, I came out all pre pared not to go back to the city till Monday." "No wonder you thought we were inhospitable," laughed Jim. "but we didn't mean to give the impression IPMDINE! ✓CHILDREN love Puddine! Let them B| have all they want for dessert. It's wholesome and delicious.

"Funny thing, we were driving slowly so I could make sure I liked the inn, and I noticed a car parked there which I could have sworn was yours, Anne. Mr. Blake and I both thought we made out your initials on it, though the kiddies were too much absorbed in each other to noticb." "How would my car get over there?" I temporized. "That's just what I wondered," replied Val sweetly, "And then 1 re membered that you expected another guest. Mr. Dalton. So 1 thought when you changed vour plans about staying the day—at Dreamwold. perhaps you'd sent the car for him and given him the freedom of the Inn instead. Some little sleuth, are'nt I dear?" "What do > ou want -to go romanc ing around for, Val, when you've this wonderful duckling on your plate?" demanded Lane. But Shelly pushed back the plate of "wonderful duckling" and sat staring at me wtli a face gone suddenly livid. "Don't tell me I'at Dalton is at the Inn!" he cried, blundering miserably for the second time that day. "I put up there for breakfast, and as I drove in I'd have sworn I caught a glimpse of Virginia flitting out of the side entrance. They must'nt meet!" "Why not?" demanded Val, flashing a triumphant glance at me, which changed to a look of provocation as she turned her langurous eyes full on Sheldin. "Surely you'd never be one to divide two loving hearts—separate husband and wife, and all that sort of things? And if our little fairy god mother, Anne, has reunited the suf ferers, you'll join me in rejoicing at the triumph of true love, won't you?" "I'd join you in anything," said Sheldon with mechanical gallantry. Then he turned to me and demanded: "Anne, what have you done?" (To be Continued.) HIT BY AIR RIFLE Walter F.

"He signed away his right to what his aunt meant to leave him?" she asked incredulously. "Are you \ sure?" "Perfectly certain." "But how do you know?" The question might have been a ! poser. David was equal to it. I "His lawyer and mine happen to : I be the same," he explained glibly. \ "De Laine and he were in his office at the same time yesterday." ; I "But I thought Mr. De Laine was I in France." I"He was—for some time. He is back now." "Was he away when —his aunt , | died?" David strove to look indifferent, i j "Why, yes—he was." ! "Then he knew nothing of the [ j terms of her will?" 11 "Not until he rer.ched this coun try," David said. Then, to fore stall an embarrassing question—"l did not ask him what they were." A look of relief came into De ; siree's eyes. She was not to be hu miliated by the consciousness that this man was aware she had been named as a necessary accompani -1 ment to a legacy. | She hesitated before asking her ; next question. David found himself ' holding his breath. ! "Why have you taken the trouble ; to tell me about Mr. De Laine?" j "Because," David answered slow j ly, "I was aware that you knew his 'aunt—Miss Jeanne De Laine—and I ' thought you might be interested in | her nephew." It was a lame answer, and David felt its weakness. To hide it he i hastened on with another remark, i "That is not the only reason I | came this evening. I have to make an explanation and a confession." He paused. She was looking at him steadily, but she did not give him any assistance. A Confession "I wanted to tell you that I was sorry to seem inconsiderate in leav j ing Mr. Leighton's employ so unex ' pectedly. I was obliged to go to i Baltimore that night. It was un ! avoidable." "I believe you explained as much to my father," Desiree said. ! "Yes, I tried to, but I fear I did 1 not make myself very clear. I want 1 to assure you that I regretted hav ! ing to withdraw my promise to re | main with him longer. That is my i explanation."

His face was very pale. He cleared his throat. "Now," with an effort, "for my confession." His expression moved the listener to pity. "There is no need of your confessing anything to me," she as sured him hastily. "Please do not think, of it. Your affairs are your own and nobody has a right to be told of them." "I beg your pardon," he protested. "You have a right." "X?" almost inaudlbly. Perhaps she ought to reprove him for this speech. She was letting him talk to her as if he were her equal. Yet he was her equal, her heart insisted. "I?" she repeated. "Yes," he hurried on, "you, Miss Leighton, if you will let me say it. Please hear me out. You have a right to know the truth because you trusted me. I can imagine how hard it was for you to believe in the hon esty of a man of whom you knew nothing—how difficult it must have been for you to take a stand in favor of an employe or whose past you were ignorant—how very hard it was for you to tell him that you trusted me. It made all the dffer ence between heaven ana hell to me when you told me that." Her great eyes were upon him. The honesty of her own nature re sponded to the honesty of "It was only fair," she Baid, "only fair, that I should tell you the truth. And r did trust you." "Yes, —you did, —but when you hear my confession you may change your opinion of me. May 1 go on?" "If you think it necessary," she murmured. "I do," he assured her, —"neces- sary, that is, to my own peace of mind. Yet if you would rather have mo say no more and go away now, — your will shall be my law." , With an effort she spoke. "I will listen to what you have to say." "Thank you!" Rising, he stood in front of her. His hands were clenched behind his back, and the nails bit into the palms. The physical pain thus caused was almost a relief to him. It seemed to make it easier for him to speak steadily. "Miss Leighton, I have worked for you and your father under an assumed name. My last name is not Smith." He waited for what she had to say. It was a long time coming. Then she spoke without looking up. "I have already been told that." "Who told you?" he demanded. "My father. A man informed him that you were using an ussumed name. He did not say what your real name was. And my father had no idea." "When did you learn this about me?." "Just after you left us. Father told me of it that night." "And you"—he could not go on. "And I," she said, raising her eyes to his, "kept on trusting you." (To Be Continued.)' Tech Seniors Learn How to Vote at Mock Primary The senior class at Tech High has completed voting for their favorite candidate in the school room city and county primary election. The boys I manifested the liveliest interest in I conducting the voting. After having | been properly assessed, taxed, and ! registered by students appointed to proper offices, the boys began voting this week to pick their candidates to run for the general election to be held next week. A Republican and Demo cratic county committee under the leadership of Carl Beck' and Ralph Miller made a whirlwind campaign by means of plentiful election ma terial In shape of candidates' window cards, and personal cards, which had done service in the regular primaries ir. September. A total of 86 boys out 94 registered for the primary. The party enroll ment showed 59 Republicans, 24 Dem ocrats, 2 Socialists, and one non-par tisan. An official election board was appointed, consisted of "Haps" Frank, judge of election, 'William Pleam, minority Inspector; Norman Berlin, majority Inspector: George Bolton, clerk to minority Inspector, and Sidney Beasor, clerk to majority inspector. This official board opened the election, counted the votes and made returns, but many of the seniors served as substitutes on this board while their classmates voted, thus gaining some experience as election officials. Rail-Laying Cost Has Doubled During War The coat of relaying the double tracks'on Second street between North and Iteily streets, this summer was $44,904, according to figures announced last evening by the Har risburg Railways Corhpany. At this rate, the company says, at least 748,- 000 passengers will have to ride on the lines before the company can make any earnings in that district. All new rails were laid and the road bed reconstructed. Frank B. Musser, president of the company, said that before the war this track could have been laid at half the present cost. Scientific Discussions by Garrett P. Serviss From my bedroom window every day, j I look out and see the sun rising on Plattsburg Bay. with the long, dark promontory of Cumberland Head stretching out into the shining waters, where in September, 1814, the young American navy won one of its eye opening victories over the British lords of the ocean. At the same time the redcoats were driven back in their land attack on Plattsburg, undertaken in conjunction with the battle of the ships. There were four ships on each side, not counting the gunboats supporting both squadrons, and after two and a half hours of heroic fighting there was no flag hut the Stars and Stripes In sight; every one of the ragged eight had American colors triumphantly float ing over its splintered rigging! The place is so near that as I look over it from the bluff, where, it is said, misspent cannon balls struck during the battle, the mile or two of water that intervenes appears but a step. I am obsessed by this presence! Two or three nights ago, when the full moon was shining on those victory-crowned waters, I sat at my window, and before my fascinated eyes was reenacted the. whole scene, as I had read its descrip tion in the "History of Lake Cham plain." I saw, just where the moonlight was brightest, Macdonough's line of gallant little ships stretched in a line from Cumberland Head to Crab Island, straight athwart the course of the Brit ish fleet. I saw and heard, on Mac donough's flagship the Saratoga, the crew breaking into three resounding cheers, mingled with shouts of laughter and delight, when a young rooster, re leased from the overturned hencoop on the deck and excited by the reverbera tion of the first gun that was fired, flew upon a gun slide, clapped his wings and crowed with all his might! I saw near the end of the fight the Saratoga, with every one of her star board -guns put out of action, deter minedly wind about with the aid of her anchors, thus bringing her larboard guns to bear; and in fifteen minutes more she pounded the enemy into sub mission. These are consecrated waters. Xo American ought to look upon them without a thrill, without seeing the bat tle ghosts and the spirit of victory hov ering over them, and their stimulus is particularly important now, when the great question of the day is again how to preserve American independence. | There is another aspect of this mat ter. Directly in front, a mile away across the water, on Crab Island, rises a tall, gray-white shaft over the bones of the • sailors who fell in the battle, and there, in a common grave, lie both the Americans and the British. Every day the starry ilag waves over them— no other. They fought well and they sleep well, at peace under the kindly guard of the victor. The otllcerrf' on both sides killed in the action were buried close together in a small plot In the old Plattsburg village cemetery. The body of Com modore Downey was escorted ashore from the captured British flagship, to gether with the bodies of his slain of ficers, and carried in procession with the bodies of the officers slain on the American ships, nnd all without dis tinction of honor, but with honor for all, | Beauty Answers 7 C By MADAME MAREE J I I.OXGIXG—You will never iiffiiln nk jour- M*lf why you "htivc Y MUCII A poor complex- Ion" If you will be mire W ° ,|M <* Iho formula I Kfc* ICIVC you here.

Twenty-nine years later a tomn and fourteen headstones were erected over the graves. The tomb In the center, exactly between the trees, showed the spot where Commodore Downey lies, while around it—strange and touching sight—in ranks, as it were, are the , headstones, now gray and weatherworn, j on which one may read the almost ob | llterated letters telling the names and I the grades of the American and British I captains, lieutenants, etc., who fought | face to face and who lie shoulder to ] shoulder. The pine trees are now gone—l could find only the stump of one level with the ground—but the impressiveness of the place is remarkable. On Downey's ! tomb is an elaborate Inscription, signed by his sister-in-law In England, telling how he 'gloriously fell" while leading the British against the American ships. His victorious foes have and need no line of panegyric. His square, solid tomb looks down upon their tottering headstones, but the spirit of victory ris ing from their sunken graves writes their glory higher. This is one of the finest practical illustrations that I know of the psy chology of glory. Those men fought against one another with hearts steeled to mercy as long as the foe could strike, but they themselves, no doubt, would approve the recognition which their sur vivors and posterity have .ceoraea to the equal claims to even-handed honor of all brave men who die in their duty.
