When a Girl Marries
A STORY OF EARLY Welded LIFE
Anne Tries to Decide Whether to Tell
Terry of Betty's Possible Loss
of Use of Her Arm

for a moment that knowledge Of
what Betty was facing would make
him other than more tender, more
loving. 1 knew the ugly truth
wouldn't give him a moments
pause in the marriage into which
he was rushing Betty.
But / wnted that marriage to
start with good cheer and with
high hopes. Terry had a right to
his share of unclouded joy.
Betty and Terry must start even
loving, hoping, dreaming to-
gether. I wasn't going to let Ter
~ have a bitter secret to hide from
Betty. 1 couldn't permit him to
pity her-too much, and 1 refused
to considered the day when they
bust both find out.
When that day came I felt sure
Betty and Terry would forgive me
and would understand that 1 had
acted through love of them. 1
hadn't promised the doctor that I'd
tell Terry. 1 had only said I'd tell
whomever had a right to know.
Well, Terry had a right to be saved
from knowing. And then my
thoughts insisted on focusing on
the problem 1 had been avoiding
all night long.
What was planning to do meant
gambling with human lives-gam-
bling as desperately as ever Jim
did at the games OF change to
which objected so bitterly.
Jim! What would Jim say? How
would Jim, who had felt that he
could forbid my forming friend
ship, that he could decide who
were to be my friends and who
not, react to my making so mo-
mentous a decision for myself and
my friends?
A Change Of Feeling.
Somewhere in the back OF my
mind was the feeling that things
could never be quite the same be-
tween Jim and me again unless he
understood and sympathized. Some
where In my heart was a little
prayer that he wouldn't fail me
that he would uphold me If our
world criticized me for the silence
was going to keep.
Suppose even that when the day
Of revelation came, Terry resented
what was going to do. felt that 1
hadn't trusted him, that had been
Lewiston of him-would Jim HELM me
make clear to him, would Jim stand
by?
If Betty felt that had owed II
to Terry to give him the chance to
change HIS plans-would Jim help
me convince her sensitiveness and
pride that Terry never would have
changed?
I didn't know. I couldn't be s,,rs
1 had to take a momentous step
without consulting anyone. And
once 1t was taken there was no
turning back
Its for Betty's happiness" said
70 the pines and the lake, Its for
Terry's happiness, also. They'll
have their honeymoon lighted by
the hope that he's nursing her back
to health again. They must face
their pain soon enough-and it's
their right to face it together. Ter
~ has longed for happiness and
served for it and waited for il
Now 1 won't cloud It for him nv
telling him how Betty may have
to suffer. He's going to believe
she'll be all well. And she's going
to believe that she'll be all we'll
And maybe a blessed MIRAGE will
make it happen"
Then smiled sadly at the lake
and the pines and went in to helm
the bride make ready for her dav.
But as 1 retraced my steps there
was black fear in my heart Would
Jim understand?
Would any one understand?

BUDGET FOR CITY
SUBJECT TO CUT
OF S36,OOO,0OO
Reduction of Education, Re
pairing, Other Items Would
Make Total S282,oOO,ooo.

An analysis Of statement recent
made public by Comptroller Craig
and which has Just been completed
by The Evening World shows tina I
the 1920 budget for New York Cit,
instead OF being S31s.OOO,oOO. the ten
tative figure, will more likely be S2S2, 70
100000 or perhaps slightly less.
Before the budget committee o.
which Comptroller Craig is chairman
completes it's laibors. IL is likely that
the following items will be deducted.
E3l 900, 900 asked by the Board Of Ed
ucation for new schools and buildings
which, under the pay-as YOU go pol.
icy. would have been included in the
next budget; 100000 for repaving
$1,Ooo,O00 originally intended for ia
maica Bay improvements: $1,000, 0op
set aside for 500 now patrolmen.
1t is figured that with better nav
and an improved spirit OF discipline
the present police force would be In
a position to hold it's own for at least
another year. The deductions re-
ferred to would bring the budget
down to about $1,000. 900. About
S2,oOO.COO is added to this to make up
for deviations from the original esti
mates.
One OF the borough presidents said
to-day that the Board of Education
already has enough money to keep il
busy building schools for twelve
months.
In addition to the foregoing deduc-
tons there is a likelihood of the city
winning a court decision over State
school moneys which would subtract
another s5.O00,O0O from the budget
