' " When a Girl " By ANN LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife (Copyright, 1919, King Feature Syndi cate. Inc.) CHAPTER CCCIi "Babbs, the bells sure are ringing for me and my sweetheart," chuckled 4 Neal as we stood at the gate to the track on which Father Andrew's train was due. "I aorta kinda feel as if I made a wise move when I secured a „ few time tables while 1 was waiting for you. They deal with such places as Niagara Falls, Yellowstone Na tional Park and Washington, the capitol of our Nation." "Bounds like a wedding trip," 1 cried, squeezing his arm. "Oh, Babbsic, how could you fore stall my surprise by guessing?" laughed Neal. "By heck, here they come and there's the blessed old gov ernor lugging his own bag, for all the world as if he hadn't a rich son in real estate and pining to spend his earnings in ten-cent tips and such." He finished as we dashed forward to swallow up Father Andrew in our eager arms. In a minute we had be gun the usual series of questions about health and feelings and were fighting for Father Andrew's posses sions as we piloted him across the station. "What's this? What's this?" cried Father Andrew as we pulled up short next to the big dark blue car, whose door panel was marked "A. L. H." "This is our Babbsie's own coach, but it may turn back into a pump kin any minute," chuckled Neal. "So my girl is riding around in the comfort she deserves," said Father Andrew tenderly. By this time Lyons was off the # driver's scat and stowing father's ' possessions in the car. Touching his cap he asked if he should take the the trunk check and get the bag gage to carry home en the car, but k. transfixing the man with one of his shrewd, yet kindly glances, Fath'er Andrew replied that he was travel 0 Illustration) While W.

But in that moment I felt strangely enough that the two had measured each other.. All the way home the talk was of Neal and me. Father Andrew seemed to have in insatiable appetite for everything that concerned his chil dren, and showed even :nor© than his usual reticence when it came to talk-, ing about himself. But when he'd greeted Phoebe and Jim, and had ad mired the apartment and enjoyed An gy's version of a fatted calf for fath ers, there was a purposeful air to the way he settled down in the living room and to a perfecto. "Don't make the old man feel too good, children," he said, "or he won't be able to pull up stakes and start on his long hike in a day or two." "Where you hiking to, dad?" asked Neal. "Phoebe and I are some little hikers ourselves. Maybe we could meet up with you after" "After what?" asked Father Andrew briskly. "After the ' wedding," cried Neal, throwing out his chest. "Jeanie and Pat are honeymooning again and we're ready to be next." Father Andrew beamed. "Fine! But you must wait for my return," he said, skipping over Vir ginia's romance in astonishing fash ion and imposing his will on Neal as I'd never known him to do. "You see, children, I'm off for a very important trip to the wilds of the Canadian Northwest," he added. "Expecting a wire any day. Probably have to go to-morrow." There was a queer mumbling ef fect to his sentences. It seemed, un like dear, straightforward Father An drew. I wondered if it meant that he was getting old and—different. But when 1 took quick inventory of the faces 1 perceived that no one else seemed mystified. Father Andrew however, caught my wondering.

But for all that, I can't postpone this trip of mine, so may be you'll oblige an old gentleman i who's more or less interested, by put ting oft the great day." Phoebe's face paled—then crimson ed Her lips trembled from w|i s " u ' _ ness to wilfulness. "Will you be long gone?" she ask | >d. "Seems as if we might manage to wait for a week or so." I "I can't put off a day. I'll have to be on my way as soon as ever the trip's ripe for me," replied Father Andrew tenderly. "But it would shame me before folks to have my boy stand up with his little sweet heart while I'm away. You won't lo that, will you children?" "1 should say not!" flamed Phoebe! generously. And she run to perch on ' Father Andrew's knee, crying "Please hurry back. Father dear, 'cause I think the next best thing to having Neal for a husband is having his dad dy for mine. We'll wait for onr 'best man," won't we, Neal?" "Surest thing you know!" replied Neal with a gulp. "Only make it snap py, Dad. That wedding of ours acts like a mirage in a desert most of the time." _ | "You'll wait then," repeated Father Andrew half to himself. "You won't fail me. Y'ou'll .wait for my return." "It isn't easy," replied Neal with a gulp. "But we'll wait, won't be lortg though, will it?" "A matter of months, mayhap," con fessed Father Andrew. Neal and Phoebe stared strangely at each other, but' they turned brave faces to Father Andrew's searching eyes. (To Be Continued.) Nine Injured in Hotel Fire at Buffalo Buffalo, N.

[Copyright, 1919, Star Company.] Walter Jefferson was a member of the same club to which Samuel j Leighton belonged. Not that he could really afford to | belong to such an expensive organiz-1 ation as this. Yet, as a climber, hej | felt that it was to his interest to | have liis name on the club roster.| IHe economized in other ways in i ' order to pay his dues, hoping mean-1 while that his association with rich] men would be of benefit to him. j One of these rich men had aj charming daughter. Samuel Leigh-1 ton's son-in-law would never have to work hard. Desiree was desir able from all points of view. The dinner in honor of the Cana dian military man went off success fully. It was 11 o'clock when Jef ferson made his way to Samuel j Leighton's side. There was about! him an air of elation that convinced ! the older man that he had some-! thing of importance to import. Im mediately Leighton was on his guard. "Good evening!" he said stiffly. "Good evening!" Walter Jefferson returned. There was an awkward pause. f'Have one —won't you?" Walter suggested, proffering his cigaret case. "Thanks. I never smoke the things," was the repily. "Have a cigar, won't you?" holding out his own cigar case. Jefferson wanted to take one, but something in the cold and disap proving gleam in his companion's eyes made him decline. Leighton started as if to move on. If the younger man would drop his verbal bomb, he must do so quickly. "I want just a word with you," he said hastily, laying his hand on Leighton's arm. "From your man ner when we parted the other day I knew that you thought me very officious. -Since then I have proved that my suspicions, expressed then, were well founded." "Eh?" the gruff monosyllable was not eneouragi.ig. But Jefferson was not daunted. "Yes, I met my cousin, Daisy Darkin, to-day—in fact, I called on her. She is stopping at the Wal dorf—she and her husband. T re minded her of the chap I met at her house some time ago—described I his looks and all that —and told her I his last name began with a D." "How did you know that?" "From the initials on his cuff jlinkß" Jefferson replied. Then, see ing the sneer creeping about the listener's lips hastened to check it by the startling statement— A Startling Statement "Smith your ex-chauffeur hap pens to b? David DeLnlne of Balti more. My cousin is sure of it." Samuel Leighton was puzzled for an Instant. "David DeLaine" he began. "Yes!" Jefferson Interrupted him eagerly. 'The nephew of Miss Jeanne DeLaine, a rich old woman in Baltimore." "Oh, I understand," the older man I admitted—then contradicted him self with—"but no, I don't either! Why should Miss DeLaine's nephew think It necessary to give up his own name—and be my chauffeur?" "Ah, that's the very point!" Jef ferson announced triumphantly, a glow of revenge In his pale blue eyes. "Why, Indeed? I wondered, too, until Daisy enlightened me, or at least threw some light on the subject, although sho did not sus pect the significance of what she told me. It seems, my dear sir, that some rumors about Miss LeLuine's will have leaked out, the principal one being that unless her nephew married a certain young woman in New York of whom she was fond he would get none of her fortune." For a moment the young man was startled by the changes that swept over the parent's face. Per plexity gave way to suspicion, sus picion to incredulity, followed by a rage that made Leighton seem to tower above his informant. "Be careful what you say, Jeffer son!" he exclaimed. "No more sug gestions! Speak out what you mean!" "Bh—sh! Do not speak so loud," Walter continued. "I suggest noth ing. I only tell you what was told ine. Since you demand cold facts —my cousin said she had heard that Miss DeLaine left a pretty sum of money to her nephew on condition that he marry a rich girl in New York—a girl of whom the old lady When you "know" you have a stomach it's time to suspect your liver.

I beg your pardon—l ! forgot she was a lady. No doubt I she believed the story. But I know |it is an Infernal lie. and I forbi.l you to repeat it In connection with ! the young man who has been In my j employ, or any young woman vliora he has met in New York!" I After which explosion Samuel Leighton left Jefferson abruptly, and, golnp to the coatroom for his hat and coat, made his way to the street. The rain had stooped. Leighton had to.ld his chauffeur not to return for him. He had not been sure when he would want to s'O home, and he would sleep better after a walk. He started up Fifth avenue with a stride that would have done credit to a younger man. die was very angry. What n pack of lies' Absurd! Disgusting! Thus his thoughts run for the' first five minutes if li s walk. Then: common sense assorted itself. How d u lie 1.n0.v that then, had not been some truth in what Jef ferson had just told' him? He re.- membsred now that Dcsi-eo had spoken disparagingly of mis young DeLaine —had expressed herself as unwilling to meet him. Had she Liquor Dealers Are Jubilant Over Order Restraining Prosecution Providence, R. 1., Nov. 13.—Rhode Island liquor dealers were jubilant to-day over the preliminary Injunc tion issued by United States District Judge Brown forbidding government officers from enforcing the pro visions of the wartime prohibition act affecting the sale of beer. They are, however, undecided as to when they can place four per cent, beer on draught. A warning issued by internal Revenue Collec tor George F. O'Shnunessy has been taken to mean that saloonkeepers who take advantage of the court's action and sell stronger beverage than one-half of one per cent will become liable to prosecution later should an upper court reverse Judge Brown's decision. The Narragansett Brewing Com pany, through whose petition yes terday's action was taken, was re ported to-day as ready to deliver four per cent, as soon as it is con sidered safe to do so. Company of. | flcials decl'ned to reveal their plans, j however, declaring that the decision I "may and may not" result in a re sumption of the distribution of four j per cent. beer.
