" When a Girl Marries"
By ANN 1.151.K
A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With tl.e Absorbing
Problem of a Girl Wife
[Copyright, 1919, King Feature
Syndicate, Inc.]
Sending a finger of light to beck
on me, the sun lured me from
sleep on the first morning of our
visit with Jeanie and Pat. From
happy dreams I came to wakeful
ness as happy.
For a while I lay still remember
ing how perfect lift had been the
evening before. Fat's unspoken
gratitude, Virginia's devotion and
the loyal and satisfying love Jim
had shown were as wonderful to re
member as to wake up again.
The day's too good to waste play
ing lazy-lie-abed, Anne Harrison,
said Ito myself. "Up with you and
go see the world while yet the dew's
on the thorn.' Ann never fear, for
your Jimmie will sleep 6u like a
peaceful little boy."
Which Jim did, sleeping serenely
while I tip-toed around— and made
myself ready to go down and greet
the day.
In the living'room I found Hertha,
dusting while Lyons shook rugs and
swept with right good will.
Doesn't he make the grand but
ler, now?" asked the woman, after
they had both bade me a cheerful
good morning.
"It's splendid of you to help Her
tha." I said to Lyons with the warm
approval I felt for their evident de
votion.
The seriousness with which the
man replied had a touch of pas
sion:
"Why shouldn't 1 then. Mrs. Har
rison, seeing she's the best wife
ever was? Aind beyond and beside
there's you and . your folks.
Whatever I can do to help keep up
ihe place where you live that's me
job. all right."
The gratitude and loyalty and
peace of these poor, once-persecutbd
souls was the final touch to my ex
quisite happiness. ] think there
never was greater peace of heart
and soul than mine as 1 set o for
a morning stroll down dew-kissed
paths.
Wandering without purpose or
aim, I found myself presently puss
ing the Summer house and meander
ing along the lake to the thread of
path leading front Dreantwold to
Mason Towers.
"Well, I've started, so I'll dip out
onto the highway and come back
through the front gate." I told my
self. "And then if my lazy family
is still asleep I'll wake every last
one of 'em with a kiss—including
Pat."
Smiling at my own happy impel--

MONDAY EVENING, ' HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 1, 1919.
tinence, I came to the tiny turnstile
set below the mossy steps leading
front th£ green tangle of the river's
banks to the dusty curve of the
high road. The road was a long
ribbonempty and blank —for a mo
ment or two. Then a vaguely
familiar, battleship gray shape
loomed up a mile away at the cross
roads, which 1 could- just see from
my top step. The car stopped for
a moment hesitatingly, then with
cut-out open and with terrific
speed sweeping it forward, it made
the turn and sprung down the high
way toward me.
At that instant the honk of a
horn made me turn my head. 1 saw
Kvvy's blue car, sweep out of the
Mason Towers gate and come jaun
tily down the road toward the on
rusliing gray car. Then the gray
car swerved madly as if to turn
again and go back to the cross
roads.
Something: in my . subconscious
mind seemed to find voice and to
shriek aloud:
"He want* to avoid Evvy!"
l'or a second the gray car blocked j
the -road. Then it skidded, backed I
and in a terrible rush that came
faster than thoughts or words, it |
careened toward the embanlfhient ;
and lay between me and Evvy's,!
oncoming car. In the next instant I
1 saw the blue car lling itself back ,
abruptly with the grinding of |
brakes even while the gray shape j
righted itself for a second and then I
whirled forward to crush over the !
embankment with a horrible tear- )
ing and thudding that swept it
through bushes and barbed wire
down the hill and out of sight.
There was a crunch —a woman's
scream—a medly of horrible crashes
that tore the air. Then a terrible, j
breath-taking silence.
1 ran toward the embankment. As
T reached the torn ground down
which it had gone, the blue car |
drew up to the spot and Evvy ;
leaped to my side. We faced each
other for a moment—silent. Then
with one accord we started forward
over the scarred track the falling
car had made.
Evvy led the way down the steep j
dip of bank on the Mason Tower's
side of the river. Clinging to the
shrubs and bushes that hung on
either side of the precipitous path, j
I followed.
Evvy. scorning foothold and hand- 1
hold alike, was dashing ahead down
the path with a cureless tieetness ;
that defied falls. At the foot of the
hill there was a second dip of the
earth and beyond that the little
stream marking the boundary be
tween the Harrison Estate and
Mason Towers.
When 1 got to the pluteur a
woman dragged herself to her feet,
and started after the flying ligure
which had sped past her.
Jt was Val.
Without a word or a glance for
me. without to hear my i
words to her, she dragged herself I
upright and stood swaying a minute
on unsteady feet.
"Let me help you, Val!. Let me
help you!" I cried, holding out both
my hands to her.
She stared at me unseeing. Then
she flung herself down like a child
and fairly slid down the path ahead
of me. Pushing 'aside an uprooted
bush, I raced after her toward the
murmur of a man's voice by the
gray water.
At the river bank we found Evvy.
In her arms she held a stil lform.
It was Sheldon Blake.
And Evy looked up at Valarie
with an expression which terrified
and puzzled me for a systified mo
ment.
Then I knew what Evy's look
meant. It w£ts triumph. Triumph—
at a moment like that!

Washing toil, Dec. 1. Seventeen

public life, representing no- pat'ticu- j i:
lur group as such but acting for the I
people as a whole, assembled here,
to-day to confer on the country's in- "
dustrial situation. The conference, t
the appointment of which v>as an- a
nounced from the White House No-j t
vernber 20, marks the second effort s
of President Wilson to devise means j a
for settling the chaotic conditions r
that have prevailed for months in! a
industry. It was designed to accom- j
plish what the recent national in
dustrial conference failed on. The •
opening session was set for 2.30 i
o'clock. c
Public Xot to Suffer ' (
No form of procedure was set for t
; the gathering and this will be de- L
termined by the conference itself.
In the words of President Wilson. |
the new "representatives should !
have concern that our industries
may he conducted with such regard I
for justice and lair dealing, that the 1
workmen will feel themselves in- i t
duced to put forth their best efforts | J
i ihat the employer will have an en- ! <
couraglng profit and that the pub- !
lie will not suffer at the hands of i
either .class,"
Use of the Pan-American build- j ]
! 'tig was granted to the conference. I,
ilt was believed the sessions would be ,
closed but this question remained ~
to be decided by the delegates them- j
selves after organization. Organized ,
labor lias expressed dissatisfaction |
with the personnel of the confer
ence because of the fact that no la- u
Vor men were named although, they I
claimed every other interest was rep- I
resented. The conferees, former

"MERE EXCUSES" U. S.
REPLIES TO MEXICO;
[Continued from First Page.] , ■
law" have been applied with iinpur- ,
tial effect to Jenkins.
Jenkins was imprisoned for "ren-1
dering false judicial testimony" in
connection with the abduction of'
which he was the victim, says the |
note. "In whose interest is the]
charge of false swearing brought j
against Jenkins?" asks the note, i
i "His abductors? The Mexican gov- j
eminent is prosecuting the victim ]
] instead of the perpetrators of the;
i crime."
Merely Opinion
While the outlaws who endanger-!
cd his life and took away a large i
part of his fortune enjoy their free-i
dorn, tile Mexican authorities now]
deprive Jenkins of his liberty." That!
i Jenkins is supposed to be guilty of
j s rendering false judicial testimony. I
the note says, is merely an opinion
I of the Mexican government "entirely j
! unsupported by evidence."
The Mexican government cannot i
\ argue Ihat it cannot interfere with]
I the judicial processes of a state un- '
less there has been a denial of jus- ,
tice, the Amoricuri note argues, be- '
cause, it contends, there already has I
1 been a denial of justice, and the
power of the federal government to
"all cases roncerning consular oill- j
I cers and diplomatic agents."
Must Show Cause '
The United States is not to lite,
, driven "by such subtle arguments," !
; says the note, "into a defense of its
request for the release of Mr. Jenk- ,
; ins. It is for Mexico to show cause
for his detention; not for the United
States to show cause for his libera -
i tto -
Then, the notp says, "stripped of
. extraneous matter, with which the
| Mexican note of November 2ti en-j
deavors to clothe it. the named case]
of Jenkins stands forth."
The note says the only conclusion !
litis government can draw is that
-Mexico has made a "studied effort"
lo ensnare Jeqkins in legal intrica- ]
eios to divert the attention of the]
American and Mexican people both i
from the fact that the second largest
city in Mexico is overrun by baiulils, 1
and thiit the Mexican authorities'
have been negligent.
"The Mexican government," says:
the American note, "cannot expect!
the United States to accept in the]
grave circumstances of this case 1
such a bare unsupported statement
as a valid excuse." Jenkins, weak j
und exhausted in a hospital, the note
says, has been harassed by the I
Mexican authorities while evidence
against him was obtained through
intimidation of witnesses.
It appears, says the note, "(o have
been the purpose of the Mexican ;
government to assume a wilful in-j
difference to the feelings of the!
American people that have been
aroused to the point of indignation'
by tlie exposure, hardships and phy
sical suffering by Jenkins during his!
abduction and his subsequent treat-'
ment at the hands of the Mexican
authorities."
