"When a Girl Harries" ! By AXX 1.151.E A New, Rotnanuc Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CCCLXX.VI For several minutes after Lane Cosby had left me to go back to his "poor little girl," I stood smiling down through a mist of tears at the talisman he'd given me. The queer, battered, octagonal gold piece told me even more than the hig brown bear hail been able to put into words. Adding it to the evidence of Lane's farewell to me when yet he had so many hours to stay at Dreamwood, I made out a ca so. Undoubtedly, no matter what else Yal had kept from him, she'd told him her version of our being on bad terms. Undoubtedly she had trans lated my protective interest as sp\- ing. Yet I could .see that Lane's head and heart remained untainted and unprejudiced by what she'd said, v still had his faith and his loyal friendship. Uut he had Vul to consider. Prob ably she'd demanded that he never see me again and he'd managed one interview on the promise of no more. Then she had probably gone on to insist that l>ane cut himself off from all communication with me. That idea brought another in its wake. Probably Val had told Nine noth ing—or lies. But she feared through me he'd learn more.than she meant hint to know. I couldn't be sure. But this seemed the explanation. One thing, however, stood out clear and shining from the ugly black tangle. Lane still adored bis Yal. He proposed to stand by her. He was going to consider her and humor her and save her from worry. But he had enough devo tion of friendship to lind a way to protect it without endangering j either Yal's peace of mind or his , promise to her. This was what the gold piece in my palm told me. GIRLS!

Surprise bim this Christmas with a K box of this famous 8c Ci^ar SATURDAY EVENING, j 1 stared at it through misty eyes. ! Then, slipping it into a corner of ;my handkerchief, I knotted it in j hard to keep it safe. Just as I'd j pulled the knot tight between m> I teeth, the telephone rang. I j stepped oyer to the little niche at I tlie end of the fireplace and, perch j ing on the arm of the big couch. 1 I balanced the telephone on my lap | and took down the receiver. It was Jim's voice which came to I ntc. | "Good work, Anne. You're a "wis. !to be answering tiie phone Just j when I. want you," In- said for an j swer to my hello. "Pat back yet?" j "Xo. Jeanie walked to tiie sta- I lion to meet hint, and , imagine I they are tactfully driving about in i the car which went down to bring ; them back." "Why is it tactful for them to keep away from home? i detected a. shade of irritation in I Jim's voice, lie isn't usually jealous, | so I couldn't see why he was so I ready to be annoyed. Then with a smile 1 realized that there was one I man in the world of whom ho was j jealous, and that his mind was likely to go leaping tr> Tony. | "You've guessed it," 1 replied i mischievously, trying to prove my \ theory. "There is a man here now ! whom T might presumably want to I have an uninterrupted talk. "Well, I'll be— bold oil! Are you : telling me Dane has arrived?" asked !my clever Jimniie. upsetting my ! scheme and delighting me by the , astuteness that had outguessed me. "Yes. That's what J'nt telling j you." "That's bully. Oh no, it isn't. I'd like to be there to stand by I good, old Dane if lie needs any I bracing. Still, I'll see him to- I morrow. And he's always been so i fond of you. I know you'll give j him whatever comforting he needs. After all, that's a woman's job." "No it isn't, Jintmierboy. This iis a man's job. Dane's. And he's taken it on like tlxe wonder he is." "Righto!" said Jim. "Now sup pose you call the good old scout to the telephone. I'm not going to be able to get. out to-night, as I fancy >ou guessed from what 1 said be fore. I've got to stay in town to go into some mighty important matters. But. I'll see Dane to-mor row, as you might tell hint in ease you think it's more tactful not to bother him to talk over the tele phone." "But Jim. you ought to get out to-night even if you can't make it till late" —-I began, but Jim inter rupted with astonishing irritation: "I tell you I' can't! Why do you want to start arguing?" "I wasn't arguing. Don't let your nerves get five better of you like this dear. I just felt that you'd want to make it. when you realize"' > "Realize nothing! Can't you stop nagging, Anne? What's got into yon again?" "Jimniie, dear! Will you let me finish my sentence? I'm trying to tell you that if foil care to see Dane it will have to be to-night. He leaves in the morning. Yal want to go back to the old fruit ranch. So to-morrow he starts across Ihe con tinent—home." "By jingo! Why didn't you say so in the lirst place? Isn't Dane the wonder! The most devoted husband 1 ever saw. How much do you think she told him, Anne?" "I can't guess. But now, of course, you'll hurry right out to see him?" There was a moment's pause. Then Jim's voice came back with a queer note in it that sounded like laughter tingled with scorn: "No, 1 can't make it. Maybe it's just as well. See you to-morrow night. Give my best to Dane. * * * Tell him I'm sorry about this. So long." As the receiver clicked up I real ized I hadn't told Jim that D'ncle Ned was leaving. So I called his ofllee. After fifteen minutes' sharp tussle with various grades of tele phone operators, the manager's of fice consented to try to get my num ber. Presently the phone rang sharply. I look down the receiver complacently, sure of victory. Over the wire came the words: "Your party doesn't answer." (To He Continued) Removes Embargo on Arnold's New Steel IxHulon.

"1 do not | believe any other hour ever went as last as this last one hus." J(er cheeks were flushed and her, eyes like stars. Happiness is uj wonderful beautifier and Doris! Courtney wus very happy just now. I "Yes, it lias been the shortest and the most marvelous hour of my life, j too, darling," Hugh Rodney al'firm-! ed. "1 did not know people could j be so happy." "I think mother will be pleased l too," the girl ventured. "I must Jiave a talk with her,"! Hugh said. "I want to ask her I consent to our engagement." Doris smiled. "She will give it,' all right," she asserted confidential-j ly. "She always does let me have! what X want most.

"Something made me sure of that—so I did not think to call her. I meant to do so after we had had a little talk together—but then." significantly, "I forgot* all ! about everything else." He smiled tenderly. "I am glad you did. But I would like to see her before I talk with your mother. Ruth and I have always been good I friends, you know." She Calls Iler Sister "Suppose T get her to come down ' now." Doris volunteered. She went out into the hall and her betrothed followed her. Ruth!" Doris called, "can you i come down here for a minute?" Ruth Courtney obeyed her sister's!! summons promptly.

"Good evening, Hugh!" as frankly |as she would have greeted a girl ifr iend. "I did not know you were I here." Tlie. Seeret Told I There was no suggestion of pique ,in her manner, and she looked ■straight into the caller's face, i Until Courtney's eyes were her i most striking feature. They were hazel, —"yellow," she was wont to I declare laughingly, light, brown | towards the center of the iris, shad | ing into dark brown at the outer : edges. They were also deep-sot, j with dark laslies that made them | seem almost black at times. ! "No," Hugh replied to her remark, j "the maid gave me 110 chance to ! ask tor anybody, but showed me | promptly into the library. I came j first of all, because 1 am going out [to Minneapolis next week to be gone, possibly, for an indefinite I period." j "So Doris told me." Ruth began. "I think she saw Laura to-day" -- 1 Then something in the faces of ; the pair before her made her catch 1 her breath. "What is it? "What has happen jed?" she asked. 1 Doris laughed self-consciously. "Doris has promised to marry ; irte," Hugh Rodney said simply. It was like him to drive right to itlie point. In spite of the strange shock she felt, Ruth appreciated this fact. Her momentary hesitation might well be attributed to astonishment, j ; Then she put her arms about licrl sister. "Dear,"" she murmured tenderly,] 1 "I am very happy for you." 1 'I know you are, dear Ruth," Dor is smiled. [ Hugh held out his hand to the! younger girl. "We have been friends for quite a while. Now wo are (o be brother and sister —a!-' mast," he said. She placed her hand in his. but.! ; when he made as though ha would I kiss her, she drew back. Her action hurt him for an in-! stant. It was not like Ruth, he re flected, to be so aloof. But (lie thought of his new hap piness made it impossible for any cloud to linger on his horizon. Tlicir Voices Alike He glanced from one sister to the other. Doris was older than Ruth, yet she looked younger. Her fair coloring was in contrast to Ruth's dark hair and eyes. Tiie only points of resemblance were their figures and voices. Both girls wore slight of build, and. as is often the case with women of the same family, their intona tions were similar. Indeed Hugh re "alled that he had occasionally found t difficult (o distinguish which or ttio t'ourtney girls was talking to him over the telephone. But here all physical likeness be tween the, sisters ceased, while in | character they were very unlike, j Ruth was reticent, conservative in expressing her feelings, outwardly! unemotional, although affectionate toward the few people whom she loved. Doris was impulsive, easily moved and very talkative. There was a moment of awkward silence after Ruth had spoken her congratulations. The older sister! was the first to speak again. "I know you want to see mother,', she said. "I am going upstairs and will tell her to come down." When she had gone, Hugh tool: his bethrothed in his arms once more. Something in Ruth's manner had chilled him. She was so formal, lie was glad that Doris was not like that. He had always been fond of Ruth and had valued her friendship sin cerely. But it was strange that she Doris' junior, should seem so sedate and reserved. I-Ie could not under stand it. .(To Be Continued.) Y. W. C. A.

Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax By BKATItICK FAIRFAX "Don't tell all you know." my 1 grandfather used to say, "Keep a few I notions for a rainy day. They may ! come in handy, j Its always a good idea to have a .little change in your pockets. Don's parcel out all your nickels and climes [ Just because you have a hank a°- 1 count to draw on. Keep a little con ; versational small change, too. Don't j hand out ail your information about i what you hail for breakfast and what I the wife said tit dinner and how the children did at school. Keep a few I things to yourself." Grandfather's theory came back to Jme strongly the other dav when 1 ] happened to overbear a group of girls 'talking. j "She stops every one who goes by I her desk and toil 'em all she knows," said one. "Never keeps a tiling to 'herself. I'll bet the office boy knows i how much she pays for lior shoes and (the scrub woman is wise to where she I gels her hats." ; "Kinda chatty, I call her," remark ed another. "Not too stuck up to pass la pleasant word with folks. And not 1 too stingy to pass it along when she finds a place where you can still get [blue serge dresses for $1.08." J "1 like to do a little talking my self." remarked the third. "She bor'es [ me stiff," ! Between over-chattiness and ovet |chariness there is a wide lield of con versational possibilities. But folks are 'legion who never find that. out. j Bach of the three viewpoints ex -1 pressed about the over-eommuniea jtive girl has its points, lad's acquaint joutselves with them, j The girl who stops everyone who [goes by her desk in order to our out I a conversational stream of informa tion anent herself is bound to be a bore. A bore, you know, is "the por- I son who talks about himself when lj want to talk about myself!" 1 Of I.ittle Value She is sure to sacrifice dignity to volubility. Things witieh are flung [about broadcast never seem to have [any value. And confidences given to | all and sundry become public property I —next in pathos to "public charges." i Naturally enough, in a ceaseless (flow of conversation not everything can be useless, however trivial. Those I who listen to the endless chatter may j extract bits of actual information. 'But these are given move in pride! [at being able.to impart them than in 1 generosity and because of a desire to help. Frequent letters cotne to me from j girls who want to know how to "en- ; tertain" the young men they desire to! attract. And occasional ones reach I i me from youths who say they have sol little to tnik about that they are afraid to seek the company of girls. I Really, they needn't worry—provided j they have the gift of listening. Shyness and silence may be dour| and glum and so may repel. But they may also be friendly and warm and inviting. Nothing can he more attrnc-| tive than the radiant silence which] seems to hold out warm arms begging I for confidences and revelations. The gift of listening intelligently: and sympathetically is rare. So. as long as human nature retains its nor mal desire for self-expression and its serene "egocentricity," the individual who wants you to talk about your self is going to appeal more than the one who wants to do all the talking I himself, and do it all about himself. 1 1 Boring, tiresome, selfish, even silly | lis the person who pours out a con - 1 I stant stream of chatty confidences.! But he or she may he something worse. That "something" Is twofold. I The ceaseless talker may he a dan- | gerous person who betrays confidence, or a conscienceless person who be trays truth. No one can ramble and bubble on forever without falling into danger of telling something that isn't so. or re-j vealing something that should never have been said. There lies the great | menace and danger of failing to get) the habit of "keeping a little small change." Tlon't Talk Too Much Whosoever pets into the unpleas ant habit of "liking to hear himself talk" is bound to lose his sense of pro- I portion. ("He" I say genetically now j —though we started with 'she'—but! i why not make the men share the blame?). "He" then presently draws on his imagination to keep his stream of chatter flowing. Truth and a sense of proportion go. A reputation for being a liar comes and in critical moments the chatterer cannot con vince those whose faith he needs. The spy system and the secret service alike know the amount of re liance they can place on the human habit of talking too much. Nations have tottered because some rash in dividual couldn't hold his tongue. I There really seems to tie a great j [deal in dear old "grandsir's* idea: ■ Keep a little small change. Don't tallc I incessantly. Don't tell all you know! and a lot you merely guess!
