WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life - -By ANN LISLE.

CHAPTER XXXIII. Suddenly I laughed at my own heroics and said to myself: “Anne, you little fool; Suppose you ' did want to take- the Bryce woman’s apartment—how could you? Jim has the key. Jim Is in Washington—with her. You don't # even know where Betty s apartment is. Suppose you found the address in the phone book, could you persuade anyone to let you in?” Automatically I got up and went over to the telephone directory—Betty’s name was not listed. “That much is settled,” I said to myself again and again, as if it were the password to some magic way out of my misery. And then suddenly I saw the way out. With what T told myself was clear logic, I decided that since one path was closed to me I must take the other. I could no longer stay at the Walgrave. 1 had no way of reaching the Bryce apartment—therefore I must take the Mason studio. I leaped into action at once. Asa beginning, I canceled my breakfast appointment with that dreadful old woman, Mrs. Varden., Then 1 telephoned and asked Mr. Mason if I could have possession of his apartment that very day. It had become necessary, l said, for me to alter my plans since my husband would be delayed in Washington until Sunday, anil it seemed better to aet on my own judgment than to pile up expenses at the Walgrave, which wasn't run on a schedule suited to army incomes. I talked like a stilted prig in my struggle to have logic and business efficiency rule me and drive out emotion and hysteria. Mr. Mason's voice came back over the wire with a queer, vibrant note in it: "You little brick! Think of deciding like that! Jim will be delighted, I'm sure. What brought you round so suddenly?" • “Nothing—l just that I ought to decide ‘and so 1 thnught the thing out logically,” T said, wondering at the little quaver in my own voice. “You sound tired. I don't want you to get worn out moving all by yourself. I'm going to phone Evelyn to come up to town and help.” “Oh, I don't need any help—l can manage alone,” 1 said, wearily. But I was glad when Tom Mason Insisted : “This time Evvy shan't fail you. I'm going to phone her right off. You wait where you are until you hear from her. Have you had breakfast yet?” There was real interest in Mr. Mason's

A UTHORITIES agree that the food supply of the future depends upon the increased use of mechanical power on the farm. The tractor, motor truck, stationary ga*i engine, and the automobile, all dependent upon cheap, efficient motor fuel, have multiplied the efficiency of human labor, thereby increasing the acreage a man can handle. In 1919 farmers owned 3,900,465 of the 7,523,664 automotive vehicles registered in the United States. These figures give a fair idea of the use being made of motor vehicles in producing and distributing food products. There is no more prolific food producing area in the world than the territory served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). t To serve the farmers of the Middle West is a major part of the Standard Oil Company’s business. For that reason the dark, green tank wagon of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is recognized by the farmer as serving an indispensable need in promoting the increase of food products. Thousands of these tank wagons travel continuously, on schedule, throughout the 11 states of the Middle West, served by this Company. During the busy season, when the farmer needs power most, this Company delivers gasoline even to the tractors in the field. Rain or shine, these wagons are on duty to help make certain that the nation’s food supply shall be planted, harvested, and delivered on time. To enable the farmer of modest means to utilize automotive machinery in cultivating an increased acreage at a lower cost per acre, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) strives constantly to keep down the price of gasoline by increasingly efficient refining methods, and to expand and perfect its comprehensive system of distribution.

tone and the man was nothing to me. It mattered to him, though, that I might be tired and bine anO in need of help. It mattered to him —and Jim was over in Washington with Betty Bryce. “Os course, I will be very grateful if Evelyn car. con.e. But If she can't, don't you worry about me. I’ll manage well enough; I’ll Just pack our things and taxi down to by noon, if you can have it ready for me then. But I'd be so happy if Evelyn, could meet me there,” I concluded, acknowledging to myself at last how much I needed a woman's friendship—a woman's help. Then I hung up the receiver and stared about the room. On his smooth, untouched bed lay Jim’s letter. I seized It fiercely and tore it into tiny bits. From the bureau where it had fluttered in a white shower, a little scrap winked up at me maliciously. On it was written one word: “Betty.”— Copyright, 1520. (To be Continued.)

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By DAVID CORY.

CHAPTER XXXIII. The next morning when Puss Junior awoke he was surprised to find himself in the woodcutter’s cottage, for you remember in the last story he had fallen asleep and had never waked up. even when the kind woodcutter's wife put him to bed. Well, after breakfast, he took out his purse and gave her a gold piece. “Keep it for baby,” he said, with a grin, as he Jupiped into the saddle and said gidap to his faithful gray horse. Then on he rode for many miles until he came to a deep river. There was no bridge anywhere in sight, and he was just about to turn away and seek another road whin he heard a voice say: “Whistle three times, Sir Cal, and the ferryboat that goes to Toy Town will take you over.” So Puss did as he was told and presently a ferryboat came up close to the bank and then Puss urged bis Good Gray Horse over the gangplank which the sailors put out, and soon he was aboard and out in the middle of the stream. Pretty soon the Captain came down from the pilot house and began to talk, and he' told Puss that Toy Town was a lovely place, where all the dolls could talk and the railroad cars would ruu without winding and the tops spin themselves.

“I shall bo glad to see them,” said our little traveler, “for I’ve never been to a town where there are such queer people, except, perhaps, Alphabet Town, where the letters ape all alive and you have to be an artist to write a letter. And Puss laughed and told the Captain all about the Alphabet Town, and as the Captain had never been there, he was very much interested, and said some day when he grew rich enough he’d sell his ferryboat and go traveling. Well, pretty soon the boat reached the other side, and Puss guided his Good Gray Horse over the gangplank and rode away, after paying the Captain two pennies, for that was the fare. And after he had ridden for many miles he came to a castle where lived a giant. Now this giant was a very kind sort of a big man and liked little people, and when he saw* Puss astride his Good Gray Horse, he laughed long and loud and said in a voice that sounded like a thunder clap: “He, there, my little friend In red top boots! Where are you going? Stop and make me a visit.” “Maybe I'm afraid." said little Puss. "I once had a narrow escape from the Giant of the Beanstalk. I might have a hard time with you.” But the giant langbed, and this time he laughed very low, so that it only sounded like dis-

And when you see your father, tell him you met the Giant of the Merry Laugh and that he sent his best regards to the famous Puss in Boots.” So Puss entered the castle, and in the next story you shall hear of another adventure that Puss had. —Copyright 1920.
