" When a Girl Marries " n.v aw i.isi.i-: A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife —J i CHAPTER CCCLXXXIV. (Copyright, 1919, King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Will Lacy and Dana lie to protect Vai ? Is Aunt Mollie making up such a careful- alibi for Val because she thinks her guilty, or innocent? These questions came to me while Phoebe was speaking. And Ihen. strangely enough, something else Hashed into my mind. Maybe what put it there was the sudden focus ing of my eyes on .leanie's wool sweater-coat which still lay across the chair where I'd flung it on com ing in from my interview with Lane the night before. I had slipped the sweater off and had hurried to my room in a pas- j sion of pity for the big brown bear and a passion of revolt. Suddenly 1 j realized that the fugitive memory 1| had been struggling to capture was: of the old lucky piece Lane hud j given me. ~ I "It's in a pocket of Jeanie s coat, i I told myself. "I put the hundker-, chief in which I tied the coin into, one of the pockets when I ( slipped into the coat. I must get it." Jeanic and Phoebe were still dis cussing the tragedy of Sheldon i Blake's death. With a careless air! I picked up the sweater and began rummaging its pockets. Jeanie in terrupted herself to ask if there was anything special I wanted. "Yes. A pretty hankie Ive lost. j I replied, wondering why I hadnt, lold the whole truth as I heard my self expressing half of it. "Did you think I'd picked it up I and hidden it in the family sweater . t laughed Jeanie. "I thought i put It in one of the pockets. 1 wore the sweater th. other evening when I ran out foi a breath of air." | "Not there, though? asked JeanL. adding politely, "isn't it queer the way we always lose our prettiest and most valuable Was it marked in any special way Tf you don't find it I'll tell them to be on the lookout for it in the wash j this week. "It had a lucky-piece in it. A bat tered octagon strung on a little gold ] wire. I don't like to lose it." "Superstitious, eh?" chuckled Vir- | ginia, tolerantly. I flushed, hut offered no explana tion. Only to Jim could T relate the ; queer method of communication, Lane Cosby had offered to me. Thc| incident was interwoven with the ugly breach between Yal and me, and | the queer, strangled kiss Lane had, pressed on my lips. Virginia' didn't press the point of j my being superstitious. She didn't | seem to thing it one worth discus-j sing. She had something important i on her mind, and she made it evi dent now that the talk about Shel don and bis tragedy hadn't diverted her interests. "We've gossiped about other folks long enough." she said with a touch of her'old arrogance. "Now, I want to get down to the matter in hand. Phoebe, your coming down here while Anne and Jim are yvith me seems almost providential. I think we ought to arrange a quiet wed ding at once. As I was about to sav a while ago when you interrupted me, Pat and I are going to make this our year-round home. Ami there's ton months to run yet on the lease of my apartment in town. Tf we want to go in now and then for the theater or the opera, we have Pat's bachelor diggings to shelter us. So there you are." "So there you aren't!" replied Phoebe uneasily.

L J, FRIDAY EVENING, afTair just because you want to get i rid of me." "But, Phoebe, I'm quite serious," said Virginia, with an air of great patience, and of not intending to per mit herself to be diverted from the main issue by Phoebe's attempt to laugh it off as a mere notion. "There's the apartment furnished! |and with len months' lease to run. I don't want to rent it to strangers at any pfice. And if you and Neal will feel better about not taking it for a gift as I'd hoped, I'll let you pay a little rental." ''l can't," protested Phoebe.

Xeal's a , fine lad. and I've changed my mind j j about waiting until you're 20. That's I 100 far off. Really it isn't fair to | keep Xeal waiting." | Phoebe flung u pleading glance ot jnio. It is often Phoebe's fate to be | tongue-tied when she feels most j I deeply. And when Virginia gets one; ]of her inspirations she rides it in |lhc high-handed fashion she and Jim' j share.

Of course, Hugh had tpent his ] last evening in Xcw York at the ! Courtney house. But he had also ' promised to stop to say farewell to ! Doris on his way to the train the | following morning. { Doris paced the library restlessly ! for a half-hour before her be trothed appeared. When at last she : saw the Rodney car draw up at the ; curb she hurried to the front door before the cnller could rii\g. i "(!ome right into the library," she | commanded. 1 Hugh had only a few minutes in i which to say good-by. He took the ! girl into his arms and kissed her ! fervently. "Do not cry, darling." he begged !as the tears came to her eyes. "It \ will not be very long before we will ' be together again." i "1 feel its if I could not stand the ! separation!" Doris declared, cling- I ing to him. "Oh, Hugh—l shall be so lonely!" lie was not accustomed to seeing | women cry, and it unnerved hint. 'He thought suddenly of Ruth. He j would feel easier if she were with ; Doris when he left. He would I rather leave his. beloved with her calm; self-controlled sister than with her more emotional mother. "Ruth!" lie called, stepping to the foot of the stairs. Ruth Courtney, passing through j the upper hall, heard big voice and hurried down. She knew he would not summon her at this juncture unless he had something important to tell her. "Oh, my dear." Hugh said, hold i ing out his hand to her as she J entered the library, "I must get I right off, for my train leaves at ! 11. But I would be more coni i fortable about Doris if you will | promise to keep an eye on her. I I am sure you will tell me if she is l not well —or anything," he finished, j lamely. j The sister replied promptly. 'Of j course, I will. But Doris is going j to be well and happy in the thought |of your return. So do not worry ; about that." Parting Confidences His financee walked away from the pair and stood gazing down into the open fire on the hearth. Hugh lowered his voice. v You must understand. Ruth, what this parting means for both of us. I had no idea it would be so ] hard for her as well as for me. You know"—with a sudden burst of con fidence—"my life would not be worth living if anything happened , to separate us"— Ruth Courtney checked him by a gentle hand laid on his arm. "Hugh—don't have such fancies!" she urged. "Doris is going to be all right, and so are you. r know." she added, softly, "how much she means in your life, and I promise to do my best to keep your happi ness safe for you. And now," with a smile, "I will run away and leave you two alone." In her own room she heard the front door close after the depart ing lover. A minute later Doris i entered and threw herself into her ! sister's arms.

Ruth spoke as a mother might have done. "My dear little girl, don't cry so! Hugh will be sate and will prosper, and," with a little laugh, "will be coming back before long to marry you. Think of that!" Doris dried her eyes and smiled. I "I suppose I am very silly," she ad mitted, "but being engaged has , been so very wonderful. i am ! ashamed to have cried all over your nice, clean shirtwaist," a gleam of tun coming to her reddened eyes. "1 suppose if mother had not been out this morning she would have received the deluge." "1 am glad if 1 was of any help." Ruth said calmly. "And now let us plan something for this afternoon. What do you say to our going to gether to a matinee?" "Oh, that would be a larlt!" Doris exclaimed. "Honestly, 1 suppose 1 would be very foolish to sit around at home and mope all the while that Hugh is away. It would make me old and ugly, und 1 want to keep young and pretty for him, you know." No Sense of Clieer "Of course, you do," Ruth agreed, j "And you have enough to look for- | ward to to keep you happy all the ! time." "Hark!" Doris said irrelevantly, j "I hear mother's step downstairs, i She must have come in at last —but . j she was long enough about it. 1 will go down to her." Ruth were certain that her sis | tor's grief would burst forth afresh as she told her parent of the lov ers' farewell visit. Doris always got an abundance of sympathy. The younger girl supposed that tiiis, as well as an abpndance of love, was licr sister's right. The smile died from Ruth Court ney's face when she had closed the door and was again alone. She walked to the window and looked out at the spring sunshine, but it brought her no sense of cheer. "He never even told me good-by," she whispered. 'Not only has he gone, away from New ork, but he has gone out of my life as well. Yet he and p have been such good friends! I wish I had not depended so much upon his friendship. it would be easier now. "He must have trusted me to I leave Doris in my charge. If mother had been in he might have §aid to her what he said to me. But I I doubt it. After all, he knows that | I understand him pretty well—bet ter, perhaps, than I understand Doris. Poor girl—she is unhappy j one minute, then happy the next! j Ah, well —I must try to fulfill mv promise to Hugh. T said I would do I my best to keep his happiness safe for him. That." with a whimsical smile, "is a rather big contract fot any one to undertake for another." (To He Continued) Back to the Farm Movement Is Noted According to a report just Issued by the Vocational Summary it appears that the back to the farm movement has started in earnest. Tile report states that 19,859 pupils over the country were enrolled in ag ricultural subjects in vocational schools during 1918 and 1919. The report further states tiiat this is an Inerease of 4.442 students being trained in this subject. It is interest ing to note that this is only the sec ond year In which practical instruc tion of this sort has been within rfach of the average child of school age. The Bureau of the Census approx imates an increase of one million farms in the United States during the last ten years. This increase, to gether with the increase of scientific ally trained men to operate them has I secured the future of agricultural j America. j HOW FRENCH POLITICS PAYS | A French general election covers I the colonies as well as the mother country, and the successful colonial candidates are the best paid legis lators in the world. Besides the .general yearly salary of $3,000 co lonial deputies draw allowances from the constituents. The Income of the member for Senegal is in this way made up to $12,000 a your, or as much as the premier himself receives. The representative of Guadeloupe receives SB,OOO a year and the deputy for Pondiohcrry's9 - I 000. The most modestly paid of the colonial deputies is the member lor French Guiana, whose salary and al lowances amounted to 14,200 a year. As French law prescribes no limit to election expenses, huge sums are occasionally spent on contesting con stituencies in the colonies. M. Joan Bernard relates that at 'he 'ast gen eral election ono of the eunidadtes for Senegal bired three steam round abouts, which, during the whole ccmpaign, were placed at tile free disposal of the electors and Ih<lr fnnilies. He was returned by a j sweeping majority. WII,I,I\G Elderly One —A wife should defer ! to her husband's wishes, my dear.

WAGE STATUSj Wilson's Order Returning the Roads March 1 May Change Situation Washington, Dee. 26. President j Wilson's proclamation returning the railroads to private control March 1 lends a new aspect to wage problems now before Director General Hines. In tho opinion of Railroad Admin istration officials, the President's order, made public Wednesday night, should tranquilize the labor situa tion, inasmuch as the time of Gov ernment control is extended by two full months. Union officers who have been pressing for a settlement of their demands before the roads went back, on tho supposition that | the transfer would be made on Jan uary 1, the date originally set, have not indicated how the proclamation will affect their plans. The only wage demands now be fore Mr. Hines are those of the 500,- 000 shopmen, who were refused a general increase of 2 5 per cent last summer.

President Jewell and the executive council of the six shop crafts re cently renewed their demands. They were asked to await an official report by Attorney General Palmer, since made public of the trend of priefcs. Mr. Palmer's report, showed that the customary upward march of prices during the full months had been much less this year than in the past and expressed the conviction that the next two months would show substantial results in reducing the inflation of living costs. The cost I of living question, therefore, still is unsettled in Ihe minds of high Gov ernment officials and will not be set tled until after Government control of the rail system hats expired. It remains to lie sden what view the President and the Director General will take of the shopmen's renewed demands for more money in the light, of the Attorney General's state . incut It is understood the shopworkers were represented to lie growing rest j less over the lack of action on 'heir j demands. Demands of railroad clerks for more money now are before the board of railway wages and working conditions, which has not indicated when a report to the Director Gen eral may be expected. Kxtension of the time of Federal control will necessitate the placing of additional contracts by the Rail road Administration, inasmuch as purchases up to this time generally | , have been for delivery up to the end of the year.
