" When a Girl " By A.\.\ LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With tl.e Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CCCLXXI (Copyright, 1919. King Features Syn dicate, nc.). As the front door of Dreamwold opened and closed, letting Evvy Ma son ship out like a gray ghost, a fig ure rose from the seat in the deep embrasure at the top of the stairs and laid a hand on my sleeve. t was Virginia! "Don't follow her, Anne," she said quietly with an air of, authority. "Whatever she came to do is done now." "You saw her and let her go to poor Val—now when she is so help less?" I cried accusingly. "Oh. Jenn ie! Are you judging Val without any mercy?" "Are you judging me without any mercy?" asked Virvinia with a touch of the old haughtiness. Then she added very sweetly and humbly: "Anne, Sheldon Blake was a friend of mine. Not a good friend because he wa'san't capable of being a good friend to any woman. But he tried to be kind and he once said some thing to me I'll never forget. Per haps you ought to know." "If you can tell me in all fairness to poor Shelly, I wish you would. Jeanic," I replied.

"He told me the very first evening I dined alone with him that he felt drawn to me because I was as un happy as he was. He said we were both like thC fox in the fable —the fox who declared the grapes he .couldn't reach sour." "You mean that Shelly couldn't have what )ie wanted of life and so he took everything he could get?" 1 asked. "Yes," replied Virginia. "There was some mystery of denied ambi tion in Shellys life. I think it warped his nature. Perhaps he wanted to amount to something and became a philanderer in bitter re action from his failure." "Perhaps," 1 returned quietly. "Perhaps." But 1 was beginning to see more I than I cared to tell Jeanie. Her | words seemed to take their place las part of a picture puzzle I had j given up as utterly hopeless be ' cause so many important pieces were , lost. Now I had all save one or two !of the missing pieces, and I could j almost imagine the design of the : whole. Even while this was flashing | through my mind, 1 said aloud: "Perhaps one of us ought to go |in to Val. Evvy's visit may have upset her. 1 hardly see how you came to let her go in. And then as long as you waited out here, why did you let Evvy slip by without speaking to her?" "I didn't let her go in." replied Jeanie, impatiently. "I didn't know she was there until I saw her in the porch light when she opened ! the door." "I don't understand." "t does sound a bit thick," said Jeanie. "But I only got back a few j minutes ago. and when I went to | Vat's door and heard voices. I came B way to sit out here and think. I wanted to see Val —but alone. So I was hiding here to regain my own composure and to wait until the nurse went down to get Val's broth." "And when Evvy flitted by you?" I asked. "I thought it was the nurse. I waited till she was safely out of the way at the bottom of the stairs.

"But we mustn't stand here talking," I went on. "Val may be terribly upset. "Who knows what Evvy said or did, for that matter? And Val has had a frightful shock to-day. She'd gone through a bit terly cruel experience." "It may have been merciful —for her." said Virginia curtly. "We don't know how much site's suffering." I replied. "It's all quiet in there. The nurse would never have permitted Evvy to upset her." retorted Virginia | with indifference that amounted to I unconscious cruelty. "And if she I does feel, say. half as badly as she deserves, the nurse will give her a hypodermic to quiet her. So there's nothing, to worry about where our guest is concerned. I've been here all of 10 minutes and I haven't heard any signs of disturbance." "You just got back ten minutes ago? I asked, though Jeanie had made a similar statement once be fore. "Thereabouts. We came back front Mason Towers by the high road. I didn't want to get too near the scene of the accident. Pat un derstood. After all Shelly once meant something to me. And I'd just looked my last on the poor boy." "While Pat visited with Evvy?" "Oh, no. Evvy was lying down, her mother said. And. of course, when I saw her sneaking out of my house just now I realized that she probably ran away from Mason Tow ers and hurried over here by the lit tle path as soon as we came. You see that, don't you?" "Oh. yes. I see," replied. Again I thought it unnecessary to tell Virginia how much I under stood. "Now I'll go in to Val," I went [ on. "Evvy may have upset her." "She may." Virginia smiled cryp tically. "We talk like an English comedy of manners, don't we. Sis ter Anne? Saying everything but what we really think Well, to carry out the idea, I'll send you off with a typically English ta-ta, old thing." Laughingly, Virginia waved her hand and started down the stairs, out I looked over the banisters and saw her pressing a handker chief to her eyes as she rounded the first turn. I went to Val's door and knocked gently. No answer. Then I turned the door-knob and went in. The bed was empty and the nurse no where to be seen.

The pro vocation which he has no trouble in finding is the point of the story. Jerry has a wife and a couple of adorable kiddies and he seems an ideal husband and father to those who note how they spend the sum mer in a cottage at the beach while Jerry slaves in the office and can't get a vacation till October. Then Jerry comes to the big city, because there's no place else to go. And what he does there is our "point of departure." He hasn't any friends or relatives; so he goes to a good hotel, and after shaving, dining and taking a stroll up the street, he strolls back again finds a comfortable chair in the hotel and sits down to await devel opments. Maybe developments are worked out in the form of another lonely man who suggests a niovie and a cabaret. Maybe they are pro vided by a girl who looks as if some one had forgotten to keep an ap pointment and she needed consoling. But it's a ten to one that Jerry ends the evening in the company of some attractive looking woman to whom he hasn't been formally in troduced. Jerry knows nothing about his companion. She. knows less of him. A bit of harmless amusement is what they're both after. And "it I can't hurt Helen and the kiddies a bit—and, anyway, they'll never know," so Jerry's conscience Is per fectly easy. But someone from home occa sionally glimpses Jerry—and even J though he doesn't know about the I lack of introduction, feels that it's ; funny for Jerry Walton to be "ca vorting" around without Helen. Or the woman with whom he is passing an idle hour or two develops into an incubus person who, because of that hour thinks she ought to be permitted to establish a claim to his whole life. Flirting With Danger. Jerry's flirting with unhappiness isn't he? And Helen and the kid dies will pay, too—though the ugly debt isn't theirs. Then there's Luella Mason. She adores her Billy, but he's fifteen years older than she and he can't be expected to understand how she longs for light and gayety and good times. So Lu surrounds herself j with a group of gay young people i to whom she and Billy act as chap- I erones. Billy's sort of bored most of the time and he rather sits back and d.ozes off. Lucille, however, in the stunning clothes for which her pros perous husband pays, and with her gorgeous jewels and pretty home, is easily the most popular feminine member of the crowd. Perhaps' she doesn't mean to, but how can she help contrasting Dick Hollis's youth and liveliness with Billy's stodginess? And perhaps,) also, she doesn't mean to. but how i can she resist the flattery that is her daily portion? Isn't it coming to be natural? "I-u's riding for a fall, isn't she? She's either going .to feel badly bored with her Billy ere long, or she's going to overvalue Dick's gifts as a dancer and racounteur, or she's going to gloat over her power to gather a crowd about her in her limousine or for her famous Sun- T^pclento^l CREME TOOTH PASTE. {IT PYRODENTO attacks the danger- I - 11 ous Pyorrhea germs and destroys H 99-15% of mouth bacteria in fifteen || minutes, leaving the mouth fresh and H clean.

She's | getting a bad sense of values, t Lu and Jerry are foolish enough, I but it's Fred Billings who is pranc jing gayly out to the edge of the • precipice with his eyes on the blue ! sky and never a thought of the ; grim, black rocks below. | The rocks spell disaster, unhap piness, disgrace and the end of things for everyone concerned. Savs ! Fred; "1 like to test myself out and see how much I can resist. I like to invite temptation, to go as far as I dare. Of course, I'm never going the limit; so what's the harm in my finding my diversion that way? Qf course, I go out with other men's wives, and I take single girls to din ner and tea occasionally. And the more alluring to me the better. I like to see how greatly I can be tempted and still resist." A Fine Philosophy. A fine philosophy, that! But don't we all know people who have his feverish, hectic desire to flirt with what they call temptation, disre garding the fact that they're actu ally flirting with the happiness and honor we all try so hard to gain? And when a man so thoroughly enjoys testing his "powers of resist ance," what do you think his wife is doing? Enjoying his way of ex ting a thrill over his exploits on the tight rope? No—she's probably sitting at home turning and mending last year's gown and blinking back the tears of fright that come to her eyes from her heart's terror. Some day the man she loves will go too near the edge of his precipice. Some day he'll meet a temptation big enough to vanish him, and then what? I leave the answer to each of you, as I put the question to you; "When 1 go too near the edge of the precipice and enjoy my own dizziness and gloat over my power to draw back in time, how do the people who live me feel? How would I feel as I stood helpless watching someone I love balance on the same edge."
