" 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. I'm going to have a big wedding in June. And you must railroad me into a little family * S. OF C. GRADUATES DECEIVE THE NA- % ! J TIONAL SEAT.

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. "You think I don't do this with my whole heart?" asked Virginia. I "I'm very happy myself, dear, and T ] want you to be happy too. 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. I was Just ready to open my, | lips in protest when Jeanie turned | [to me and said: "You mustn't be hurt at Phoebe: j nor feel that she doesn't adore Neal. I Iter putting him oil' like this isn't) coldness. it's just youthful j bornness which I can't permit. Once T opposed her marriage and she j 'fought for it. Now I'm ready, butl | little sister feels she has to prove! 'that she's a weman by naming her! I own day." "I think it isn't that." T began,! freshly, in spirit of my knowjedge ofi j what opposition has always done to ; j Jeanie. "You forget"— I Virginia smiled me down, j "You forget what we both are old I enough and wise enough to know, j I Xeal needs a home—and his little) bride in it. That is what ought to I j count with Phoebe." j I Phoebe's young face flamed and I I she flung back her head proudly, I [ protesting: I "It's you who forget, Jeanie! I | ! promised Neat's father I'd wait till j Ihe gets back. That dear old man is, ! 'way up in the Canadian Northwest jon goodness knows what unselfish,! quixotic mission. I said I'd wait fori I him, and I will—even if you put me lout. Anne and Jim would take me| j in, T guess." | Virginia's eyes flashed. I waited , I for an outburst such as had always | | come from the high-spirited woman > when she was opposed. But sud- j denly Virginia laughed. "Have it your own way, Phoebe.' | You're a Harrison, so you will! (Whether or no I approve. But jf| jNeal gets tired of waiting—never say I didn't warn you!"

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.

Go buy it today must come to an end, and the Gov ernment be given a fair chance to' compel a return to normal profits. 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.
