WM Rcadiivfl all the family IPPI " When a Girl Marries" By ANN LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife (Copyright, 1919, King Feature Syndicate, Inc.). CHAPTER oocra Neal carried Father Andrew off to stay with him in his wee apart ment. X didn't protest for two rea sons, either of which alone would have sufficed. Phoebe had our only spare room. And anyway, Neal wanted his dad with him, and it is the boy's right to have this wish gratified. The fact that Father Andrew Isn't staying with me made me won der just how I'd succeed in gettins a talk alone with him. For a whole day I saw him only In the family group, and the certainty that there was something queer—sinister even —about the trip to Canada, grew on me. On the second morning of his stay, a telegram came addressed to "Mr. Andrew Highland, care of Mrs. James 11. Harrison." The fact that Father Andrew had a telegram sent to my apartment instead of to Neal's made me more uneasy than ever. I waited till Jim had gone to the bathroom to shave, then I called Neal's apartment and told my young brother that I was in a sentimental mood and wanted to say good morning to Father Andrew. After I'd done this I scarcely understood why I'd fibbed to Neal. For the moment my subconscious mind had taken the helm and had directed me to act in a way I'd never done de liberately. Both Jim and Neal knew that Father Andrew was expecting a telegram. So why should I make all this mystery about it? "Good morning, my Babbste girl." came Father Andrew's voice, with its deep ring of affection. At the mere sound of it I was reassured, and I reported the arrival of the telegram in a completely matter-of fact way. Then, greatly to my as tonishment, Father Andrew took his turn to be agitated: "You didn't open the message, did you?" he asked nervously. "Of course, not, dear," I an swered, and for the first time in my life I felt hurt at the dear man who was the realest father I've ever known. "That's right—that's right. As soon as young Neal's gone I'll be over to call for it," was the next astonishing bit of the queer mosaic Father Andrew was constructing under my eyes. "I've a better idea," I answered, hoping I couid make him show me the pattern of that mosaic and show it of his own accord. "I'll get my car and bring the telegram to you. Then if you like we might have a drive. Why shouldn't a girl have one cosy little heart-to-heart chat with the dearest father on earth?" "Why not?" echoed Father An drew, with a queer blank note in his voice. Then he added: "Neal's For Superfluous Hair I s DBLATONB !TT> I *mAu\g Seller foe 10 Yean QVKat—SURE— SAFE—RELIABLE Use Fresh as Wanted | Aak Yoar Dealer He Knows A Most Unusual Sale of COATS Redaced For Saturday's Selling We have offered many coat values in the past, but never have we excelled these.

I'll look for you in about an hour, Babbsie." This, I guessed, meant: "Neal will be out of the way in an hour. Don't come while he's here." So I said goodbye and turned from the phone, struggling with a new element of the puzzle I couldn't help making out of Father Andrew's trip. Why should Father Andrew be at such great pains to conceal his plans from Neal? What connection could there be between Neal and Father Andrew's trip to Canada? For, in tuitively, now, I felt that Neal and his concerns were woven into the pattern of all that was puzzling me. "Well, there's this to be said," I told myself an hour later as I drove m,y little car up in front of the apartment house where Neal had his j "bachelor diggings." If Father An drew has a mystery mission, he's either planning to confide in me or he isn't. And if he isn't, I might as well decide that that book stays in the library and that I can't see any thing but the pretty cover. So that's that, Barbara Anne!" Then another impulse from my subconscious prompted me, Jerking me back like an invisible hand and sending me back when I'd already put my finger on the bell. Auto matically 1 went over to the girl at the switchboard and asked her to announce me. "Your brother's In, Mrs. Har rison, don't you want to go right up?" she asked. "I've something to attend to first," T said hastily, and rushed out to my car. For fifteen minutes I drove about aimlessly. Then I went into a drug store booth and called Neal's apart ment. I made up my mind that if he answered I'd merely hang up the receiver, but when I heard Father Andrew's voice I broke out with a laughing account of what I'd done in order—of all things on earth—to avoid my darling Neal. "That was splendid of you, dear, splendid," replied Father, with more enthusiasm than the occasion seemed to warrant. "I always knew I could count on my girl's good judgment. Come around for your old dad right away now, Barbara Anne. We have important things to discuss this morning." Then he added, nervously: "You have the telegram?" "Yes, and the news is getting stale," I laughed. "An hour or two can't matter now. Come right up to the apart ment where we can be alone." "I have the car " "That won't do. Your chauffeur "I dont mean the limousine,'* I Interrupted in turn. "I'm driving my little car this morning and I run that myself, you know." "Two cars!" said Father Andrew, in a tone of satisfaction astonishing in one so simple and free from all mercenary ideas. "Two cars! That means Jim has made good. Per haps he could help me—perhaps he could afford . . . But we must n't do that. It wouldn't help. For give me for talking to myself, Bar bara Anne, and hurry around. After all, everything depends on the telegram, and I mustn't be a coward about it any longer. Yes, we'll go for that ride, after all!" (To Be Continued.)

She expects enormous returns from matrimony with scarcely any invest ment on her part." So says a young clergyman who has sadly observed the mercenary and calculating qualities that are all too evident in many modern women. But it isn't fair to gaze exclusive ly on one side of a subject, and here's the other side presented by a young woman who wTites me pa thetically and In gTeat detail of what marriage has brought her— and what she has brought to it. For six years she has shared the "fortunes" of a man whom she married in ignorance of the fact that he was a thief. Just before their little boy came, the young husband was arrested for burglary and the wife's pleas won for him a suspended sentence. These six years have been one long series of crimes on the man's part. He swears to go "straight" after each crime, again commits the crime of burglary, serves in prison and comes out to go through the ugly series again. Six years of shame, degradation, poverty and horror. Six years of breaking up little homes and going to her parents to share their pov erty. And now the wife is a clerk in a store. Out of her wages she has made a little home. Her young son is getting old enough to observe and question. Old enough to be in fluenced. The husband Is coming out Into the world again after his third pris on sentence in these six years. He has written to beg for another chance. It will be the sixth "other chance" in these years. The woman fears for her boy. She dreads what the father's Influ ence may mean. Iler parents tell her that if she goes again and will ingly into the degradation her mar riage has come to mean they will cast her off. She is making good in her work and feels that through it she can build up her child's future. But the man she married is com ing out of prison and wants her to come back to him.

He has broken faith with the kind judges who were lenient with him for her sake. He has left her and his child to starve. He has tried to make a thief of his wife. He has lied and lied again. His wife knows that the. story will prob ably repeat to the end of time. Only this time she stands to lose the loyalty and support her parents have ifiven her through it all. She stands to lose the position for which she has striven. And there is a big ger thing than either of these which she sees hopelessly endangered. That is her boy's future. As the man of a woman who has worked and striven, he will some day come into his heritage of work with the respect of the community to cheer him on his way. As the son of a thief and convict, what must his future be? The woman who writes me sees all this, and yet she concludes her letter with this paragraph: "Please, please say a word to en courage me in my determination to give my husband one more chance. Everyman is against me, my own feelir —4 3 a mother are against me. 41 I have to stick to the man 1 \.lurried. Something makes me stand by him. And I wonder if I won't still be standing by him in six more years and in spite of what he has done and will go on doing. Do you think I'm weak? Do you think he fascinates me the way a snake does a bird? It isn't that. It's Just that he's my hus band and my place Is at his side. Tell me you think so, too." What would the clergyman who condemns the modern woman say to this heroine and the many like her who write me each day? What effect has she on his viewpoint? To her, I say this: Sister, you are brave and loyal. Faith like yours has been known to work miracles. Go on striving. Give the man you love one more chance. But make him see what he is pulling down to destruction if he falls again. Don't let him think your sacrifice is a slight thing. Make him understand how you are cutting yourself from parents and friends to help him up again. Drive into his consciousness that you are risking your boy's future for him. And if he falls again, don't you think then the time has come when your highest duty is to the little life you brought into this world?" Give your husband one more chance. Then give your boy his big chance even if it means casting off the father whose weakness would drag his son down.
