satisfactory in removing the frcckes,
although the treatment must be repeated

/: Rider Declaring Peace With { =
Germany Fails

The Senate yesterday PASSED the
sundry civil bill as it came from
the House after rejecting several
amendments.
An attempt to insert in the bill
Jan amendment declaring that a
state of peace exists between the
United States and Germany was
made by Seantor Fall. The amand-
ment was voted down.
The bill, once vetoed by President
Wilson, carries S14,e00,OO0 for vo-
cational education for soldiers and
sailors, an increase Of S6,0oUOOO
more than the veto message asked
for.
The Fall amendment stated that
"a state of peace being declared
no funds appropriated for pay of
United States marshals should be
used to enforce the trading with
the enemy act. The reference to
United states marshals' pay was a
connecting link by which the plan
to declare state of peace could
be inserted III the sundry civil bill.

CHAPTER CT
(Copyright 1919, King Features

Syndicate. Inc.)
Swept by an instinct deeper than
mere impulse, I hurried from that
strange luncheon party at the Clin-
sarge, flung himself extravagantly
into a taxi and gave the driver. Vir-
ginia's address.
There had been pleading in Car
lotta Sturges's eyes, and stark
amusement in Tom Mason's gaze.
None of that mattered. 1 had to go
to Virginia with the message that l
felt Pat Dalton trying to convey
to her through me each time we
met and he fumbled sadly for
words.
The feeling that 1 was a messen-
ger conveyed me past the door
man at the entrance to Virginia's
apartment building, up in the ele-
vator and so to her very door.
felt Pat and Virginia coming close
again. Their happiness seemed real
accomplished.
Then the maid admitted me to
Virginia's apartment.
And the very first thing I did
did instinctively, without fore
thought or planning-was to stare
over at the console table where the
silver basket of crimson Jacquemi-
nots with the tiny pale pink sweet
IOoCo hou oIoou liC Ai6ht bS-
fore.
1t wasn't there.
Anonymous, that basket of fra
GRANGE had been allowed to deck
Virginia's living room. Revealed
as the gift of Pat Dalton, it had
been removed.
But where was it? Had Vir-
ginia transported it tenderly to her
own room-or had she flung it out
of her home in high resentment of
her husbands daring? My own un-
spoken words startled me. Never
before had / thought of Pat Dali
ton as Virginia's husband. I'd just
accepted them vaguely as Pat and
Nirginia-tWo persons who ought to
be together and were apart.
The rustic of draperies in the hall
made me drag my eyes away from
their search of the room where Pats
gift had been denied a place.
Forgive me for keeping you
waiting" came Virginia's smooth
tones from the hallway-and she
followed close upon her words, Its
sweet of you to run in. Anne
Perfectly meaningless, formal
words. They might have been ad-
dressed to mere acquaintance. I
tried to evade her chill influence.

Problems of a Girl Wife

This isn't party-call, Virginia" "
1 declared. Last night I left with
question unanswered between. us.
l have come to answer it. :"
''Indeed?" Virginia dashed little
| cold spray in my face. Dear Anne
whip so solemn? l am glad to
see you, of course. But 1 don't re-
call any-vital questions that we
must answer. Will you let me take
for you-or shall we go out for a
bit of stroll?"
Let me talk to you first-please.
1 must say what's in my heart"
murmured in a voice I tried to
make clear and strong.
"Fire-when ready" laughed Vir-
ginia.
l sat forward in my chair and
spoke in n voice l vaguely noticed
was low and tense-not high and
cleor as l had planned.
"Virginia-1've Just come from
lunching at the Clinsarge. That's
where I'd been-to have tea with
him the day Phoebe saw me with
with Pa! He begged me so to
come. To help him.. His eyes seem
to beg me all the time.
To-day l happened to be there
again-and he came in, and to our
table. And he was so-reckless and
/ bitter. Somehow without planning
it, l. had to say was coming here.
And he took my hand-so pleading
ly, and whispered as il it were-a
cry for help: You're on your way
to see Jeanie.'
He said it to you almost instead
of me. He's so unhappy, and he
seems to believe I can get him the
key again-the key to happiness.
oh, Virginia-Virginia- happi-
iess-and life that's at stake"
When / began to speak / didn't
dare to look at Virginia. But grad
ually my eyes went of their own
volition at her face. Her head was
flung high. The muscles of her
throat were so taut that they stood
but in cords. And her nostrils
were quivering. She looked pathetic
like a thoroughbred straining to
run a losing race.
My heart pounded. Had 1 found
the key that would open the door
to happiness for Virginia? 1 wanted
to run over and take her in my arms,
but forced myself to sit still
and wait.
Virginia's white hands twisted in
her lap. She protruded her lower
jaw like an unhappy child and set
its teeth in her upper lip.
