" When a Girl Marries" Br ANN LISLG A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CCfI.XXVIII. (Copyright. 1919. King Features Syndicate, Inc.) The morning after Aunt Mollies ilying visit to Dreamwold Jim and Pat went up to town and the day's work on the "Hankers and Brokers, as the nine-two train is called. I suggested motoring them in, hut that brought a snarl from Jim such as 1 hadn't heard in a kindly while. "Had enough to miss a decent train like the eight-twenty-seven, hut now vou want tne to come ladle-dashing into the office in'time for lunch if the ear doesn't develop engine trou ble or bust a tire. In whicli case J'd he there for tea. I've a day s work to do. Anne, though you don t seem to understand that. And the market opens at ten." , . , "Quit vour grousing." admonished Hat. "And I'll lay you live to one 1 hut like the nice kiddie she is Anne will drive over to the station with us in her own car and come hack with all Virginia's marketing pur veyed to the front door." _ "Everybody works hut Jeanie, laughed Jeanie herselt. "Hut my Patrick knows that after a week end the ice chest and tile larder are likelv to he empty. t'n Mondays, moreover, the lady of the house likes to do the dusting and the (lower cut ting for Bertha." This settled the division of labor and accounted for the fact that Vir ginia and 1 didn't meet again until lunch time. I was dreading the humiliating moment when I'd have to acknowledge to Jeanie that Val had forbidden me her room. That was postponed a while longer, for after lunch Jeanie asked me to help her cut the flowers, us she hadn't been able to got to them in the forenoon. It was mid-afternoon before we finished. Then, after separating a line basket of asters from her booty, Jeanie suggested 1 take them to Yal. "Your delicate way of suggesting that maybe I've forgotten our in valid?" I challenged her. "It Isn't that. She thinks I'm a meddling busybody, and yesterday site asked me to get out—and keep out. I'm forbidden her room." Virginia liung her arms across my shoulder—a rare display of affection for her. "Some day Vai will come to her senses about you." she said, wjthout embarrassing discussion. "And then she'll appreciate what it is t know "Here Is MySeerei" "My good complexion it not *n accident. Mer.y years ago my grandmother used Palmer's SKIN SUCCESS Soap.

"That's the pleasantcst sarcasm I've ever heard." 1 laughed. Then, like the thoroughbred she'd shown herself again. Jeanie said no more, und left me to establish my self comfortably in the living room with a pile of new magazines and another pile of new apples. So it was I who received Lane j and Uncle Ned when Bertha ushered I them in as quietly as if they'd come I from a neighboring estate of across | the border from another country. I "How is she?" blurted out Lane al ! most in the same breath that both of j them greeted me. Then lie added, in , a tone entirely free from alarm: i "Doesn't look much like a hospital 1 annex. Guess you think I'm a big | baby to come tearing back because j the kiddie has a sprained ankle and I a couple of black and blue spots, i Don't you?" "I think you're a devoted hus i band." 1 countered, avoiding Uncle i Ned's eyes because 1 suspected be i realized there was more amiss than ! he'd seen (it to tell Lane, j "Well, you ■ weren't a devoted I friend letting her tumble down the | river bank!" rumbled Lane- in his I big brown bear fashion. "Couldn't I you have stopped lier from going ■on a cross-country jaunt in those ! silly high-heeled pumps she will i wear? Is that the way you look I oUt i or Tour guests?" But even as he rumbled out his i scoldings he beamed at me unsus i peetingly and concluded by order ing lite to convey liini to his little girl at once. I escorted him to the turn of the hull, pointed to Vat's door and then lied hack to Uncle i Ned. 1 was convinced that he and | 1 had a few things to say to each t other. I "Where's my bride?" he demanded, rising with courtly dignity as 1 came back to the rootn. "Surely Mollie I didn't stay up there to ehaperone the | reunion." ! "She's not in Val's room. She isn't ! here at all She was down yester | day, but she felt she had to get I hack to Lacy Willoughby." "That isn't like Mollie," replied Uncle Ned shaking his head in per plexity. 1 telegraphed her to fling a few odds and ends into a hag and go to our Vai at once. Mollie never fails me. 1 don't understand." "Seeing Vai upset her." 1 replied. "But Jim said our little girl wasn't badly hurt. Is poor little Lacy in dangerous shape?" demanded Uncle Ned. "No. Aunt Mollie was Just upset!" I floundered, torn between what I wasn't supposed to know and what i 1 surmised about Aunt Mollie's prob- I able desire to protect Vai even from | dear Uncle Ned. ' And she wasn't ; exactly—prepared to stay." "That's funny. I told Mollie to bring a bag. Doesn't your sister in-law hanker after so much com pany?" ♦ Virginia adored Aunt Mollie. She wanted her —she begged her—to stay!'' I replied defensively and then hacked down, regretting the heat j that had committed me too far. "But j Aunt Mollie said she had to carry ! Val's hag. And I suppose, not being j sure she's got taxis all the time when j she needed them, she didn't want ' two hags in case she had to carry . them." , i "That's a great speech. Anne. And I can see you mean to reassure me." replied Uncle Ned, liXing his shrewd eyes on mo with a craving for the ' truth, which made thorn shine fiercely under hist beetling brows.

PAINTER TO LEAD BTH BAND Veteran of Overseas Service to Reorganize Musical Guard Units l/T. H. O. PAINTER. It was announced from the Eighth Infantry Headquarters to-day that Joseph C. Painter, former leader of the Three Hundred and Fifteenth In fantry Band, Seventy-ninth Division had been secured to ,eud the new Eighth Infantry Band which will be located in this city. Lt. Painter was obtained after considerable effort on the part of those who were interested in building up n good military band for Harrisburg. HQ is moving to this city, and will open a studio of music where he will teach private classes in addition to his work as hand leader. When it was announced by the Ad jutant General that the headquarters of the Eighth Infantry would he locat ed in Harrisburg. several citizens ap proached Colonel Staekpole with the suggestion that an effort should b • made to create a large well organised military band. After an investigation it was found that a band composed of 0 bandsmen and 24 buglers similar in organization t 0 the bands of all the combat units during the war was not authorized by the War Depart ment for a peace-time army or the National Guard As the result of sev eral conferences and much study the following plan was perfected. First, that a band of 28 men (authorized for the peace-time army and National Guard) could be enlisted. Secondly that 22 men and 24 buglers could be added without enlistment. This band will be used for functions of the Guard also for commercial work. As the plans are developing this new or ganization should become one of mus ical efficiency and well drilled as only a military hand ean be. The uniform and equipment will be the same as that of the regular army. Lieutenant Painter's name was sug gested to Colonel Stuck pole by Cap tain Francis A. Awl and others, of this city, who were familiar with his work and asked, if possible, tliut his services he obtained for the Eighth infantry Band. It will be remembered that it was Lieutenant Painter, who. uc the outbreak of the war organised it band at Pottsville and offered its services to the commanding officer of the Three Hundred and Fifteenth In fantry at Camp Meade. Captain Awl then commanding Headquarters Com pany of the regiment was detailed to go to Pottsville to interview Lieuten ant Painter and inspect his organiza tion. This body of,'men so impressed the captain that he took the entire band to Cam)) Meade, and had it in dueled into the service. Under Lieu tenant Painter's leadership the Three Hundred and Fifteenth Infantry Bund soon became the best in the Seventy ninth Division, and was always se lected for speciui programs and cere- SORE THROAT or Tonsilitis, gargle with warm salt >"Zp) water, then apply— VICK'S^^PORUBif "YOUR BODYGUARD" - 30f.

Soon after the di vision reached France Lieutenant Painter was called to Paris to he ex amined by Walter Damrosch for a commission. It may be said that he was one of the very first bandleaders of the A. E. F. to be made a commis sioned officer. Lieutenant I'atntor led the combined divisional band of over 359 men at the time of Genera! Per shing's review of the Division, for which he was commended by the Ccmmander-in-Chief. He also was awarded a certificate of merit by the commanding General of the Ninth Army Corps for the showing that his band made in a competition with the other bands ol the Army Corps.

Nurse Cured by Old Reliable Medicine It is a simple, straightforward story that reveals the health giving punch that is being deliv ered by a marvelous medicine, hacked by fifty years of success. Mrs. Surah E. Dayton, 24 Lin den Ave., Mlddletown, N. Y., tells it in her own words: "About six teen years ago my daughter, who was a nurse, took PE-RU-NA for a nervous breakdown, and was cured. Next, my brother's family used it and it cured nic of a bad cold. I was so weak and miser able my people, thought I was go ing to die. ! used one bottle and now am well and strong and do not- cough at all." For protracted colds and per sistent, deep-seated coughs, there is nothing any better than PE RU-NA. By stimulating the di gestive orguns, regulating the bowels and purifying the blood, PE-RU-NA imparts tone to the raw and quivering nerves, re stores the mucous membranes to a healthy condition and gives strength and vigor to the body. PE-RU-NA is truly a medicine with the punch. It is fine to re build I lie health after protracted sickness, the grip or Spanish In fluenza. Your dealer will sell you this well-known, time-tried remedy in either tablet or liquid form. 7
