" When a Girl Marries" By ANN I.ISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CCOBXX. (Copyright, 1919, King Features Syndicate Inc.) In utter amazement I staggered back from the wreck of Sheldon Blake's car. Those heavy leather straps, used to hold baggage, had not. been torn, nor had they burst. They were cut. The tank was un damaged. It was the forward part or the car that was crumpled. 1 tried to recall the car had looked this morning. Shutting my eyes 1' made an effort to visualize the appearance of the tank ten hours before. I could almost rccol~ lect—but just when I thought I had it, I realized that 1 was try ing so hard that 1 saw what 1 thought rather than what I remein-j be red. ~ T ., Then I recalled the sensation 1 d had a few minutes before the. feel ing that something heavy and inani mate had brushed against me. A ghostly feeling, but one I know: very well must have been produced | by some human agency transport ing an Inanimate thing. A piece ot leather luggage. The figure 1 d seen crouchings at the top of the hill? I knew now that I had ac tually seen it, and that it wasn t a figment of my imazination. Who could it have been? Who Indeed? Who beside myself had any motive for removing any tell-tale piece of evidence? Evvy Mason: But if Evvy Mason had been there before me, what motive could she have had in coming to do what T had done out of pity for Val and in friendship for Bane? Evvy s part in the whole terrible business was mysterious undeclared. My feeling of ghosts and haunt ing fear seemed suddenly to crys talize. All this had been premoni tion. I had feared evil. And now 1 had the answer. Evvy had come to work it. I knew now that the figure I had glimpsed at the top of the hill was no figment of my overwrought imagination, but Evvy. The heavy thing that had brushed me was' something she had carried away from the scene of the tragedy. It was undoubtedly what I had come j to get and hide —the only piece of j evidence that could condemn Val. j What was Evvy doing with it? Why had she gone toward Dream-1 wold, the Harrison pla.ee. with it? I ] dreaded her malice. Val was in her j power and the Evvy I knew would j use such power remorselessly to j serve her own ends. What those j ends were I didn't know. Mischief j might inspire Evvy Mason to cruelty. I A deeper motive would make her! even more dangerous. Again I examined the heavy: leather straps on the tank. They hail given way. I made my way cautiously around the car, turning my flashlight on it as I •wept. U the wrecked side, tucked -away, carelessly, I noticed a trailing leather strap. Gingerly f pulled it out. A bulk of sole leather came with it and marked in black against the tan were staring black letters: "S. B." Shelly's Poor old Shelly's!" I j whispered to my soul. "I'm too late. Too late to count. Evvy hid this for purposes of her own. Then I turned and fled up the i bank. When I got. to the plateau, I stopped, breathless, looking back over the sheer side of crumbling clay up which I had rushed. But with hardly a moment's halt 1 started to force my may up again I through the tangle of underbrush on the upper bank. "I must hurry—hurry!" It danced through my brain, re peating itself over and over again with dizzying insistence. For now the probable solution of the whole thing had come to me.

Would she confront | Jim with it, or flaunt it before Pat land Jeanie? That was possible. But what was more likely was that she would carry it at once to Val, its I owner, and show the injured woman how completely she was in the power of one Evelyn Mason. Once, long months ago, Evvy had unearthed the story of Bane's first marriage. She had gloated over that tale of how poor Boretta Cosby went mad and how she had done away with herself at last, influenced probably by Bane's infatuation for the beautiful girl whose father was Bane's friend. Evvy might have used that story j to ruin Val and Bane in the eyes of: all whose respect was giving them the position and prestige they where they had come to make their way. So far she bad refrained. But | Uncle Ned and Aunt Mollie, after \ meeting Evvy Mason at a shore re- j sort, had journeyed at once to the j city. At the time X felt that they i came to protest the Cosbys. But ] even so, Jim and I had wondered at Evvy's silence. She had, bided her time. She had made no move. Now Evvy's time had come. Evvy had only to revive that old story to twist her facts and suspic ions about to-day into a strong enough tale and Val Cosby would be done for. There wouldn't be a enough to hide Val from scandal No wonder then that I scrambled breathlessly up the hill, burst | through the underbrush and raced up the little green path as if all risen from the darkness to drive me on. Through the grounds I tore, Into the side door and then around the servants' hall and up the back stairs l on tip-toe. I met no one. No one tried to stop me. I reached the top of the stairs in safety. The blue room where Val lay was at the extreme end of the long hall probably a hundred yards from me belond a half-turn that led to the front stairs, which I could just see from where I stood. As I started forward a door closed lightly and a slim figure came away from Val's room and ran down the first landing of the front stairway. I raced forward and got to the top of the stairs in time to see Evvy Mason open the front door and slip out like a little gray ghost. (To Be Continued.)

Poison Used in Woods to Kill Noxious Pests State Game Commission officials who have been making investigations into charges that in the west branch country poisons scattered in the woods have been the cause of loss of valuable ganve and dogs declare that some of the reports are not well founded and that in others it has been clearly established that It is the work of individuals anxious to get rid of vermin and not of game wardens. In some cases game ward ens were charged with placing pois oned carcasses or corn. Seth E. Gordon, acting secretary of the State Game Commission, said to-day that ho had run down sev eral reports and found that private persons had placed the ' poison to get rid of noxious animals, while in other cases it was clear that the pois ons were scattered to kill off dogs. In some instances dogs have become a nuisance to farmeru and sheep raisers. In other cases poison was employed In an effort to thin out the bears which have become so num erous as to bo troublesome and to be killing sheep in the northern tier counties. State game wardens have been instructed as to use of poisons and told to use the utmost care where they are found necessary. GRACE M. E.
