"When a Girl Marries"

A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problem of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER CCCLXXXVIII.
i [Copyright, 1919, King Feature

"You've sold the car!" I gasped.
"You've discharged Lyons and sold
the car without asking me—why,
Jim! How"-
And then I stopped. My mind
swept back for some reason —some
explanation in the happenings of
the last few days for this astonish
ing thing. But none offered itself—
indeed, not a single thing—-not the
shadow of a quarrel, even pre
sented itself in explanation of this
amazing act of Jim's.
Then the gravness of his haggard
face forced itself into my thoughts,
it scattered them and brought me
back to the moment's need—to Jim's
need. For Jim seemed to be waiting
for me to say something more, to
be watching my face with greatest
intentness than before.
"Of course, we still have the lit
tle car." I offered in place of what
had been on my tongue. And I can
drive it myself—very well. You're
said that many times."
"Yes, you do drive well —and you
still have the little car. That's
what thought. It's all right, isn't
it? But let's have dinner now."
So foreign to Jim's eager nature
was this postponement I ought to
have understood right then that
there was something far from the
usual troubling him. It is impossi
ble even now to forgive myself for
not understanding instantly. I may
never be able to absolve myself in
my own heart from blame. But
1 shall always account it to my
credit that in this moment I remem-

TUESDAY EVENING,
bered my long-ago promise to Jim ;
that he should lead, and so —I didn't !
insist upon an immediate explana-'
tion. I slipped my arm into his and !
silently entered the diningroom with ;
him.
Strangely enough all through our
almost silent dinner, the thought
uppermost in my mind was not Jim
nor vet my loss in selling the ear.
What troubled me most was the
fact that Lyons had lost his posi
tion with us*—the situation in which
he felt the need and had the stimu
lus to keep straight, to do the right.
What would this sudden dismissal
mean to Lyons and to Bertha, the
woman who nas stuck by him all
these years, and who felt him safe,
so long as he was with us. What
job could be obtain now? How
would be conduct himself when
away from Bertha?
The loss of the octagon gold piece
came to my mind. It came as a
shock. Could Lyons have found it—
found it. perhaps where I had drop
ped it knotted in my handkerchief
—and kept it? Would he think,
would Bertha fear—supposing she
knew of it—that this was the cause
of his discharge? Of course, 1 didn't
know that Lyons had taken the
octagon, nor even that he had seen
it. But the whole situation loomed
in my mind as an emergency, as
somethiug about which 1 must take
instant action.
Leaving Jim to finish his dessert
alone, and giving but the flimsiest
excuse, a forgotten message to Vir
ginia, 1 hurried to the telephone.
Oddly enough. Jim didn't protest.
He seemed content to dally with
his dessert and to play with his
demi-tasse. This came to me even
while 1 spoke to Bertha, who.
luckily, answered the Dreamwold
phone.
Without wasting words or minc
ing matters I told Bertha just what
had happened—for as yet she knew
nothing of her husband's dismissal
—promised her that 1 would try to
place him and stoked her to have
him call upon me. in the morning.,
The gasp with which she received ,
my explanation told me how deep I
the shock, how great the fear was
to her.
"Oh. Mrs. Harrison. I must find
him quick!" she wailed. "What will
lie do! What will he do!"
"Tell Mrs. Palton that I've just

phoned you to do an errand for me
—ask her to telephone me if you
may come into town for me—then
you c.n find him and bring him to
me to-morrow vourself."
It was an undiplomatic thing to
do, this "freak" of mine in order
ing my sister-in-law's maid to come
lo me without asking Jeanie's per
mission. But I was urged to the
action by the noise of Jim's chair
pushing back from the table. In au
other moment 1 knew that he would
be within hearing, and I didn't
wish to add this annoyance to his
burden whatever it might prove
to be.
"With a hurried "Bless you.
ma'am," Bertha hung up and I
swung around on the telephone chair
to face my Jim. The tenseness had
in a measure fled from bis face, but
the gravness still was there. And
his voice held a metallic ring as he
tftid:
"Got a minute you can give me
now ?"
He was seeking a note of playful
ness. hut I sensed rather than knew
hhw much the' effort cost.
Even now I didn't understand.
As I look back upon that moment
1 wonder why I didn't comprehend,
why 1 did not help him tell me
what he had to tell me. And yet
how could I have known?
Jim didn't put his arms about me
as another man might have done
with his wife. Xor did he even put
one arm about my shoulders as a
comrade might have done with an
other comrade. He simply slipped
his arm through mine and led me
into the livingroom, releasing me
to close the doors behind us that
we might be secure from interrup
tion, safe from ears that might even
innocently hear.
"I'm worried, dear," he said, limp
ing about the room nervously, then
back to face me on the couch to
which I had sunk to rest. "Wor
ried more than perhaps you can
imagine. Say, you haven't been
watching the market recently, have
you ?"
"No." I confessed. Then I cajight
the glints of his eyes in the gray
ness of his face. I began to com
prehend. "Why. Jim!" I cried.
"What's the matter? You haven't
—you aren't?"
"Perhaps 1 am whatever you
may mean;" he laughed in a tone
far different from any I had ever
heard his voice hold. "Here's the
straight of it. There's something
funny about the biggest of the oil
wells on which I have been plung
ing. I've got to tell you about It.
Listen."

Herman Tausig, toastmaster, who,
after giving a brief description of
bis opinion of what advertising stands
for and what the Harrisburg Advertis
ing Club anticipates, introduced the
speakers of the evening, the first be
ing John K. Fox who is president of
the Mechanics Trust Company, and
spoke on "The Relation of Advertis
ing to tlie Banker.'' Mr. Fox said
that while advertising could be made
use of in a delicate way in the bank
ing business, the best results could
be obtained by courteous treatment
from tlte bank oit'ieials and real ser
vice rendered to all patrons. He
stated that lie is a firm believer in all
high grade advertising. He spoke of
the great force advertising had been
in the recent war, and how it hud
called men from their firesides and
sent tlieni marching in khaki and that
he- believes advertising has now a
high place in the world and is build
ed on confidences.
The next speaker was William
Strouse, one of Harrisburg's leading
clothing merchants, who was a mem
ber of the War Economy Hoard at
Washington during the World War,
representing the Retail Clothing As
sociation. Mr. Strouse gave statistics
gained by his long experience in the
clothing business and mentioned tlte
great amount of wool consumed dur
ing the war which was three times the
amount produced in this country. He
gave many thoughts along the pres
ent clothing shortage and the reason
of the high cost of the present day
clothing.
The next speaker was Attorney
John R. Gcyer and he reviewed "Ad
vertising as It Affects the Attorney."
He mentioned that while it is uneth
ical for lawyers to advertise, he be
lieves sincerely that advertising lias
dignified its right to reach for high
er tasks and that advertising has
moved the world to greater deeds,
that if each man put the same amount
of brains and energy behind Ills ad
vertising that hp did in his business
j generally, he could not help but prove j
successful.
Lieutenant-Governor E. E.' Biedle- I
| man, was next called on and his prin
cipal theme was "Truth in Advertis
ing and What It Meant to the Pub
lic," that effective advertising first]
started in the business establishment,
in service rendered to the public. He i
spoke of the personal touch and what 1
it meant to eaeh merchant to back up ]
the spoken work in the printed mea- ;
sage.
H. T. Walker of Akron, Ohio, nextj
talked to the merchants present >f j

president; Herman Tausig, treasurer;
