"When a Girl " By ANN LISLE v A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CCCIiXXIV | (Copyright, 1919, King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Sunday morning, the day after the accident that had coa^ r Sheldon Blake's life and had sent Val for an enforced visit to Dreamworld, I hur ried around to the sick-room. The nurse came to the door in response to my knock and stepped out into the hall In evident distress. "Mrs. Cosby"s very restless ana Ir ritable. I think she'd better not see anyone," she stammered. "Will you ask her if there s any thing X can do for her?" I replied, with the stiffness people have a way of showing when shut out of sick rooms to which they flatter them selves they could bring cheer if only officious nurses didn't forbid them. Then X saw that Miss McNeil was far from officious. Instead, that she ■was a sweet girl charged with a. re sponsibility which made her miser able. In that second I surmised that Val had refused to see me and that the nurse was trying to spare my feelings. But still I gave no more than a passing thought to Val s abuse of me the day before. Later Miss McNeil came down to the breakfast room with another message I could see she was loath to deliver. , . "My patient is very tired. The re action." she explained, smiling apolo getically. "She thinks shed best lie t uiet alt dav and see no one. I agree with her. so if you'll ail forgive me, I'm going to forbid her having any visitors. . ... | Every one seemed to accept this as the natural reaction from all % al had gone through the day before. But I saw that there was more to it than that Val really wanted to keep me out of her room, and in order to avoid comment and surmise she was denying herself to everyone. What I couldn't fathom was the motive that made Val wish to avoid me. Was that motive dislike or fear? The events of the afternoon deep ened this mystery which piqued and troubled me. Jim and I walked over to Mason Towers. We took the short cut —the little green path. But when Jim no ticed how I trembled and shook be yond all my efforts at self-control, he declared: "I'm sorry, dear, that I brought you this way. It's too near the awful scene you witnessed yesterday. We'll go back by the high road." GIVES FIVE REASONS IV SHE IS HAPPY "A gain of 8 pounds, a keen appe tite. sturdy nerves, relief from rheu matism and a well stomach were the benefits I received from Tanlac," said Mrs. J. Boyd, 217 S. 63d St., Philadelphia. "Oh„ how much brighter and vigorous I feel. House work never tires me. Both my mother and husband are taking Ihnlac now." Persons suffering poor digestion, dull memory, dizzy spells, weak back, throbbing headaches, sleepless ness, constipation and lack energy need something to restore their de bilitated organs to normal.

FRIDAY EVENING, It seems queer now to realize how much difference his consideration and decision made. When we got to Mason Towers Evvy s colorless little mother re ceived us. She had the look of a startled rabbit that would love to go back to nibbling its greens if only some one would call off the disturb ers who are making its hutch un happy. But she tried to assume an air of importance and sympathy in keeping with the events about her. "My poor Evvy can't see you." she said mournfully. "The poor child is keeping to her room. She is so sensitivo and this—this has complete ly upset her." Her words seemed inadequate for the large affairs she was trying to suggest. And she went on with her repetitions and from bad to worse. "Do you want to see poor Sheldon? The poor boy looks so natural." It was true. He did. There was a look of arrested motion about Sheldon even in death. He seemed still radiant, compelling and full of unfulfilled desires and magnetism and the wish to live fully and ex pansively no matter what the cost. Tears came to my eyes as I realized that the price of life as he had wanted to live it. was death. After a minute I went out of the still room where he lay in even greater stillness. 1 wanted Jim to be alone to pay his tribute to the friend of his boyhood. And the chattering little woman who kept hitching her gray-knitted scarf up on her shoulders and twiching words from her mumbling mouth, took all the sacredness from death. When Jim rejoined us Mrs. Mason began explaining and apologizing again. "Evvy can't see you. She's lying down to get strength for the Joruney Oh, didn't you know? She's going south with all that is mortal of the poor boy. Yes, they're taking the pooc_boy home. Oh, didn't you know? Her cousin. Tom, is going with her. We wouldn't consider the poor girls making the trip alone." Jim and I exchanged glances. I knew he shared my wonder as to how this inadequate little mother could ever have stopped Evvy from anything the wilful girl wanted to do. _ Finally we got away. Dusk was falling. As Jim had promised, we went round the long way by the high-road. As we were nearing the front porch, Jim seized my arm and jerked me around to face the bushes that were between us and the spot where the green path dipped away from our ground toward Mason Terrace. , . . "Did you see some one dodge be hind those bushes just as we came around the curve?" he demanded. "No. dear. Who could be hiding there?" "Evvy!" said Jim curtly. "But whv?" I asked nervously. Her mother said she was lying down. "Her mother!" repeated Jim scorn lU"And that train she's taking starts in less than an hour. What would she be doing here?" t , "That's just what I want to know, said Jim, starting toward the little path with a certain stealthiness. (To lie Continued.) CALLS FOR NEW CABINET Madrid, Dec. 12. —King Alfonso has asked Maneul Allendesalazar, the former foreign minister, to form a cabinet.

Increased Production of Coal Is Indicated by Report From Many Fields By Associated Press Chicago, Dec. 12. General in crease in production of bituminous coal to-day was indicated by reports from nearly all coal fields. In a few sections, principally Illinois, how ever, some of the workers were In rebellion against terms of Presi dent Wilson's proposal, acceptance of which halted the strike, and in Montana, Washington and Wyom ing the miners indicated they desir ed a more thorough understanding of the plans. Other instances of de ferred resumption of production were expected in the Pittsburgh dis trict, where union leaders continued officially to notify miners to return to work and in West Virginia, where new trouble was encountered be cause of the old question of the "rheck off" system, but the situa tion generally was regarded with optimism. There were many pre dictions of return to normal output by early next week. Severe Weather Passes In addition to permission to retail stores to operate nine hours Satur days no further immediate relaxa tion of the strict fuel conservation orders was in prospect to-day. That modification was made because of the near approach of the holiday season. Except in the Pacific Northwest most ot' the country to-day was re lieved of the seveie weather that grasped it for two days. Coupled with a coal shcztage, almost unpre cedented snows and unseasonably low temperatures still caused suf fiARRISBURG TELEGRAPH fering and disruption of train and wire service in Washington, Oregon, Northern California, Northern Idaho and Montana. Another Cold Wave Forming Another cold wave was reported forming.in the northwest and mov ing eastward. Most sections would be fortified against it by renewal of coal supplies, it was believed, how ever. In the great central competitive field, where there was little or no output yesterday, an overwhelming sentiment in favor of a quick return to work was indicated Jn reports and statements of union leaders und virtually all mines except in Illinois were expected to be operated to-day or at the latest by Monday. Nearly normal production by the end of the week was predicted for southern mines, lteports were that by that time mines in Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama generally would be in operation. In the southwest Kansas was the only state where it seemed doubt ful when operations would begin. The miners in Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas were reported ready to return to work to-day. The Kansas situation depended upon the outcome of a conference at Pittsburgh to-day between the Governor and Alexander M. Ilowat, president of the Kansas miners, concerning withdrawal of volunteer diggers and troops. It was under stood an agreement was reached yesterday to withdraw the men com plained of by the miners as soon as the latter had re-entered the mines. To Force Recalcitrants In Illinois a number of the locals voted not to accept the terms of the strike settlement and to remain away from the mines. Frank Far rington, state president of the min ers, expressed confidence that the men would resume production end said that the state organization would use every means to force re- j calcitrant locals to abide by the set-! tlement. He and some of the oper ators also expressed belief that by l the first of next week the output would be normal for this time of the year. Majority of Miners in Pennsylvania Signify Willingness to Go Back Pittsburgh, Dec. 12.—-Ever# effort to expedite the return to work of the 42,000 coal miners in the Pitts burgh district is being made by of ficials of district No. 0, United Mine Workers of America. Union leaders expected some of the men would re sume work to-day and that produc tion would be heavy by Monday. Many union locals of the district held meetings last night to decide the question of returning to work, and mine workers' officials here were instructing other locals to hold such sessions immediately. In some in stances officers of locals notified headquarters that there was no ne cessity for a vote of the member ship, as the men had already signi fied their willingness to enter the mines at once. Stores Closed The rigid fuel conservation or ders of the Federal Fuel Adminis tration went Into effect here to-day with the result that department I stores and other establishments not 1 exempted remained closed until the noon hour. Under the regulations the business houses affected will cease doing business at 6 p. m. Few of Pittsburgh's many indus trial plants felt the effects of the coal conservation measures, for practically all steel mills and other industries have reserve supplies on hand which will last for several weeks, according to reports. Indiana Mines Working but Not at Full Capacity By Associated Press Indianapolis, Dec. 12.—Indiana's coal mines were in operation to-day with a very few exceptions, al though reports indicated that not all of them were working at full capacity. Reports from Evansvillo stated that five mines began operation yes terday and that preparations had been completed last night for re suming work at all the others. Ad vices from Bicknell stated that fourteen mines in that section of the State were hoisting coal to-day. Sullivan and Vincennes also report ed reopening of the mines in their districts and Terre Haute reported that with many men already back at work all the miners will be in their places by early next week. Circulars supplementary to tele grams sent out from headquarters of the United Mine Workers Wed nesday night, were • mailed this morning to four thousand local unions. They explain the action of the general committee of the organ ization in accepting the President's proposal as basis for settlement of the strike and urge return to. the mines with the least possible delay in order that the public's coal needs may be filled speedily. OPERATORS AWAIT WORD By Associated Press Washington, Dec. 12.—Operators to-day were awaiting the official an nouncement of the settlement of the strike controversy before for mulating plans for meeting the re- I quirements of the government's pro i posnl. Their representatives have | been in Washington since the ne j gotiat'ons started, and the majority of them are said to be willing to fall in line with the government's officials in bringing the strike to a sure and final end. Check-Off System Causing Many to Remain on Strike 01/arleston, W. Va., Dec. 12. —The "check-off" system whereby coal companies collected union dues from the wages of miners, and which was a section of the wage contract existing iff West Virginia priod to November 1 last, is the question which has caused many union miners to remain on strike, according to statements issued to 'r~w.

A num ber of operators, union officials say, have announced that they had abolished the "check-off" because miners violated their contract by going on strike. John Gatherun, secretary of Dis trict No. 29, United Mine Workers, declared to-day that operators of that region had refused to deal with miners' representatives on the "check-off" question. He said the workers would meet to-day and that if employers are willing to re sume operations under the contract I existing prior to November 1, the | miners would vote to go to work immediately. Instances where oper ators refused to comply with the r DECEMBER 12, 1919. old contract, which included the "check-off" the men will remain idle, he added. District union officials continued to-day to urge the men to return to work, but latest reports fropi the New River and Kanawha fields were to the effect that the situation was not improved. RESENT SETTLEMENT Springfield, 111., Dec. 12.—Illinois mines idle since November 1, when the bituminous coal miners of the country went on strike, were re opened this morning. Miners gen erally throughout the Slate return ed to work and State officials of the uniop made preparations to bring into line some locals that had In dicated dissatisfaction with the In dianapolis agreement.
