SUITOR MANY

LILA LATHAM becomes the bride of HERBERT WARE, but the olcture of mn old sweetheart, CAPTAIN JACK FARQUAHR, lurks in her mind. She confides her plight to her friend, DOROTHY CAINE, an artist. While in France during the war, Lila had promised Jack that she would be. come his bride when his regiment came back from the front. Jack is reported dead, and later his insurance is forwarded to Lila, who gives it to disabled Teterans. Herbert elarng of the gift, and Lila ears the money was her uncle's and was given in memory of his son. Several other complications arise over the gift, bi t Herbert's mind Is put at rest. Lila one day sees GILROY HOLMES, a war-timo buddy of Jack, and she faints. She learns that Jack is not dead and is to return to New York that day. She meets him, and he invites her to luncheon. During the meal. Jack asks Lila to marry him. CHAPTER XXIV The Story of the Missing Tears. LILA stared, wide-eyed and breathless, at Jack Parquahar, as he leaned across the luncheon table, urging her to marry him that afternoon. “We've waited so long, Lila. Five years are gone from our life together. Don’t let us lose another moment.” Lila’s thoughts had stampeded. She had, at least, believed that she •would have time to gauge and adjust the situation between them. She had never dreamed that Jack would be so impetuous. "Jack, are you sure you still care for me?” she faltered, to gain time. His eyes answered her, and his hands that clasped hers across the table. "Five years is a long time,” went on Lila rather weakly. “I must have changed quite a lot In—in appearance.’’ “You are more beautiful than ever,” he told her. “I had forgotten that you were so lovely.” ‘‘Oh, dear!” thought Lila. “This is terrible! I have no right to listen. It’s disloyal to Herbert to allow Jack to say such things.” Aloud, she said: "But you, Jack, you have been through so much. How can you be sure that you still care for me? You must have known a great deal of suffering. Won’t you tell me all that has happened to you?” He nodded slowly. “Yes, though I rather hoped we’d take that up later. There were so many other things I wanted to say to you.” “Oh, but do tell me now,” urged Lila, thankful for a respite. “You mean that you want to know how I came to be alive, after having been given up for lost? Well, I’ll give you a brief idea; the details can wait until we’re married and have long evenings to spend together. Isn’t that so?” He smiled at her whimsically.

lILA said vaguely: “You would dike that. Jack?” “Would I!” he breathed softly. Then, with a sigh, he went on: “I’ll tell you how I came to return, and, after that, we’ll have done with the past and talk about the glorious fuure, eh, Lila?” His gray eyes were very tender; hers fell before his ardent glance He made his story brief, slighting the hardship and suffering, as she had always known him to do. Three aays after he had entered the trenches, three days after the night when they had made their pledge —he had been seriously wounded In a charge that had carried him far into ene.ny territory. When he had regained consciousness, he was a German prisoner. His uniform and his identification tags were gone. Some German spy was profiting. Wounded though he was, he managed to escape, making for his own lines, though he had no knowledge of where they might be. He thought that two days and nights must have passed. And then the enemy descended again and he was brought back to the prison camp Now he was too weak to attempt to escape. He became desperately

THE NEW Saint-Sinner ByJhmeJlustin d92B^mtwt

Tony’s hands, which had been Jimp with dismay when Harry Blaine reached for them, suddenly closed convulsively over his. Her voice was no longer gay and mocking as she answered, but tender, persuasive: “Please, Harry, don’t put it into words If you say, "Tony will you marry me?’ and I have to say, ‘Harry, I can’t,' it will make it awkward for us to go on being friends, anr' I need you—honestly! “I know /m talking what sounds like conventional rot, but I do ward you to be my friend forever and evw/Hdiiy. I value you so . . . Now tell me I’ve jumped to conclusions, that you were going to ask me to gd to the Thanksgiving football game with you and that your preamble was wholly concerned with your flat economic situation.” Harw Blaine withdrew hie hands slowlv, but not before he pressed her uard, gratefuhy. “You’re a good sport, Tony Tarver! . . . I’ll try to be one, too. “All right, I was going to ask you to go to the football game, knowing that I have to get my bid in early, to avoid the rush.” He lied gallantly, and Tony came very near to loving him then. “It’s a date!” she cried, winking valiantly at the tears in her eyes. “Let’s dance Harry. You must improve that step of yours—that one where you turn—Come along! “Let’s bump Cherry Jonson and Alan Beardsley, just to show that, as members of the virtuous younger generation, we disapprove of their goings-on . . . Isn’t she beautiful, though?” “Yeah,” Harry Blaine agreed. “She ought to . incorporate her beauty and sell stock in it, since she seems to resent her husband’s monopoly. “Can’t blame her much, though so far as Beardsley Is concerned. He’s really a big man, and I can

ill and lost all idea of time. Then, gradually, his wounds healed, but the hardship of a prisoner’s life had taken their toll. Long after the armistice was signed and the last exchange U. prisoners made, he remained in a German military hospital. There was no record to reveal his identity; no one to intercede for him. “I don’t want to think of that time,” Lila,” he said. “I don’t want to recall the wasted months of my life. But even less do I want to remember the day when I was finally set free, only to learn that I had become tubercular. I was told that I had less than a year to live.” MUM AT Lila’s exclamation, he smiled, and his fingers reached out to clasp hers. He had strong, lean hands; their touch had once been very sweet to Lila. “Can you imagine what that meant to me? It meant that I had lost you forever. How could I come back to you, a wreck? I wanted to see you again, to have you with me in the last few months of my wretched existence. “But, thank heaven, I had the strength to conquer my desires. For, you see, my sweetheart, I knew your wonderful, unselfish nature. I knew you’d sacrifice yourself for me. You’d marry the poor wreck that I was, simply because you had compassion, and I couldn’t have allowed you to make that sacrifice.” Lila’s eyes were lowered. She knew the leenest shame she had ever experienced. It seemed to her that Jack Farquahar had stabbed her and was turning the knife in the wound. “So I disappeared,” he went on. "Except for you, there was no one who would care. I went to the south of France, because It seemed to nr that I couldn’t get enough of sunshine, after that prison camp. I had no expectation of being cured; I simply went there with the blind instinct to end my days in what comfort I could. With the loss of you, I’d lost all hope and all desire to live.” He paused, smiled whimsically, andshrugged. "But Fate apparently hadn’t done with me. Without realizing it, I began to improve. A

3 CASESJT STAKE Ogden May Have to Carry on Gilliom’s Battles. Unless acted upon within the next few weeks, three cases of great public interest, fostered by retiring At-torney-General Arthur C. Gilliom, will be inherited by his successor, James M. Ogden, who takes over the office Jan. 1. The cases are the Ku-Klux Klan ouster suit, the Shumaker pardon and the murder case of D. C. Stephenson. It is considered likely that the question of validity of the pardon granted the Rev. E. S. Shumaker, Indiana Anti-Saloon League superintendent, by Governor Ed Jackson, will be the first to be ruled upon. The Stephenson case also is closed and the Ku-Klux Klan ouster suit awaits hearing before Frederick Van Nuys, special judge, in Marion circuit court.

understand his bowlipg her over.” When they were seated again, before tea which had become much too strong and required the bringing of anew pot of hot water, Tony returned determinedly to the' subject of Crystal. No dog-in-the-manger—Tony. "Crystal admires your mind so much,” she began with careful casualness. “She’s awfully clever herself, really. But do you seriously think of dramatizing Cherry’s story?” “Yes. I’m going to get a play on Broadway if it takes me till I’m 80,” Harry Blaine answered. “And at the rate I’m going I’ll be at least 79. If you’d really like me to, I’ll talk the thing over with Crystal.” “You do like her, don’t you, Harry?” Tony persisted hopefully. “She’s awfully sweet and sound and —and pathetic underneath. Or, at least, she was pathetic until recently.” She wondered how much of Crystal’s romance with “Pablo Valencio”—about which Tony was naively credulous —she dared reveal to Harry Blaine. “I know—some foreign chap that’s got her cuckoo,” Harry decided the question inelegantly. “That’s one reason I haven’t been dating her up more. “Don’t want to butt in. Besides she raves so—in a mysterious sort of way—about this ‘Pablo’ bird that it makes me deuced uncomfortable.” “Harry, I’m worried about Crystal and this Pablo of hers. I don’t think he means our Nell any good. I know he hasn’t asked her to marry him. “I’d like for you vo stand by as a nice, sane, wholesome American foil for this poetic Spanish chap of hers. Between us, maybe we can keep her from doing something she'll everlastingly regret. Will you, HarI ry?” (To Be Continued)

day came when I dared hope; but again I slipped back; again despair; again hope. Oh, Lila, if you knew what that hope meant! “How I longed to let you know that there was a chance of my returning, and how I fought the impulse, for the chance seemed so frail! And then, quite suddenly the miracle happened. Hope became certainty. Even then, I waited to be sure, and it was not until the greatest specialist in France had pronounced me permanently cured that I sent you that cable.” Lila’s words: “Oh, Jack, I am so glad, for your sake!” brought a light of joy into his eyes. His fingers gripped her more tightly. “There Is no danger now. All that is past. I am strong and fit again. I have enough to keep us, if you’re willing to sacrifice a little,\ and my old job is waiting; I found that out by cable. So there’s nothing to keep us apart any longer, Lila. It’s like the ending of a fairy-story, isn’t it?” he asked, his voice thrilling with Joy. “We’ll be married and live happily ever afterward.” It was only then that he noticed that Lila was crying quietly.

B,y United Press CLEVELAND, Nov. 13.—George Dallas, Cleveland restaurant owner, and his wife are now planning—and preparing—to feed 5,000 persons on Thanksgiving day. Last year they gave away 2,700 dinners. “It’s terrible to be hungry any day of the year,” Dallas said. “But on a holiday, it’s much worse.” Dallas came to Cleveland when he was 9 years old from Athens, Greece, an orphan. During his first two weeks in Cleveland he almost starved. “I came here without money, and I don’t want to have any when I die,” he said. “If I have food and others are hungry, I want to give them something to eat. “People want to know how I can afford to give away all these Thanksgiving dinners. My wife and I hardly miss it. What we give away we get back in gratitude and happiness.” PLAN ~ LEGION PARLEY Auxiliary Leaders of Nation to Meet Here in December.
