"When a Girl " Br ANN LISLE! A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With tl.e Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife BY "ANNE LISLE CHAPTER CCCLXXX When Lane and I returned from 3eeing Uncle Ned start oft on the tirst stage of the journey, that wouldn't end until he reached hU old home, I was a thoroughly un comfortable young woman. There seemed no chance that my inter view with Lane Cosby could bo anything short of a miserable af fair. As Lane stood aside at the living room door, waiting for me to pre cede him. I started to slink in. Then 1 looked up and caught a good view of his face. Not only was it gray with misery, but it had an 111-at case, awkward expression. There was pleading in his eyes. Lane dttaded our interview as much as 1 did. Why, then, did he insist upon lt? . , . "I've always liked you, Anne, he legan. throwing back his head jerkily and pulling his collar away from his throat as if it were chok ing him. Something in that eternal ges ture restored some of my poise. I smiled and waited for Lane to go on. "You know I've always liked you, don't you?" he insisted. "I thought you did." "In fact, we four are good friends. Always were, always will be," he said ingenuously, as if no more than half sure I wouldn't question him. "I hope so," 1 replied gravely. "And now—you've changed your mind?" I've never heard a question more tensely put Nor have 1 often seen anything to equal the relief on his face when I replied: "Not I.

"You feel just the same as ever?" ho asked eagerly, searching my face for a suggestion, a breath of sus picion that I knew of any reason why I shouldn't feel Just the same as ever. I avoided a direct answer, reply ing truthfully enough: "I thought there couldn't bo any question of my feelings. 1 wanted to be all a friend should be. 1 tried. It wasn't—welcome. "Now we're getting to the point." Lane's oyes held a look of trying to bore into my mind. I didn't know If this was because he knew every thing and wanted to find out how mudh actual knowledge I had, or If it was because he wanted to add my Information to his. But in the next minute I saw that whatever he knew or didn't know, he would not stoop to getting one smallest piece of evidence from me. Lf Val hadn't given him her entire con fidence he was clearly enough not going to piece out what she'd told him with anything I could say. If she had a sad confession to make and had made it fully, it was clear that he had forgiven fully, too. I wondered what other man on earth could accept so much and in just that large, kind way. "Now we're getting to the point," repeated Lane, and went on: "You mustn't hold anything against a poor, sick girl, who has been through a dreadful experience and had her nerves busted up like shrapnel. If she hurt you, you'll forgive her, won't you?" "I have already," I replied and then added with a smallness I hadn't intended my words to con vey: "But I can't force myself where I'm not wanted." Lane took that kindly and made it less petty by changing it to an acquiescence with something I re gretted. instead of an acceptance of something that relieved me. "It isn't that she doesn't want you. You know how sick folks turn against their best friends, against the folks they love best in all the world sometimes. It's just the fancy of a little girl who's been —mighty close to the end. She's looked Death in the face. And she's all in. Got to humor her. But you can't hold anything against her, can you?" "I don't. Indeed I don't. And if I'd been small enough not to see, your coming has made everything clear. I want you to know that, Lane." "Thank you. Princess. Then that's all right. And this litle good-hy of ours isn't going to be_ marred by anything. For this is good-by be tween us." Awkwardly Lane patted me on the back, and there was tender ness in the pleading touch of the big brown bear.

"I'll say good-by now, for I'm not an early riser and I' can't be down to see you off." He gripped both my hands in his great brown paws. And there were tea'rs in his eyes as he bent his head and murmured: "If you and Jimmie ever need me —if you ever want a friend, I'm not much of a hand at talking, but I'd come right across the continent. You know that, don't you?" "I believe it," I said. "Then let me have an hour with Jimmie to-night after the little girl's asleep, will you?

And If ever you need a friend all you'll have to do is to put it into a little box and mail it to China or Zanzi bar or wherever r happen to be. Will you take it and send it if you need me?" "Yes," I replied, "I'll take youh talisman, and if ever 1 need you I'll send." (To He Continued PARTY FOR CHILDREN The Bachelor Girls' Club of the Y. W. C.

Jim TOT FOR "ol| FOLKS" Tanlac Is the Medicine for Those Traveling Down Hill of Life. 8o many of us have been looking for something to give our "Old Folks" that will be all for their good and in no way harmful. "That something has been found. It is Tanlac —nature's greatest boon to those passing down the hill of life," said the Tanlac Man. "That is why it is so simply self-destruction to let debility sap away your com fort and health. 'ln time debility wears its victim away as it gathers I force and nourishes itself upon your very life blood. "Nervousness, headaches, depression of spirits, lost appetite, backache, listjessness, sleeplessness and that run-down feeling are characteristic symptoms of this trouble, and Tan lac acts like magic when it brings back restful sleep, sound digestion, more vitality, and drives away that detested, despondent feeling so quickly that it actually astonishes you." The genuine J. I. Gore Co. Tan lac is now sold here by George's Drug Store, Geo. A. Gorgas, Chas. H. Kramer, Kennedy Drug Co., W. H. Steever and all leading druggists.
