She connived with Bob's parents to
restore Bob's mind by an appeal to
his emotions. She planned to make
her own husband WOO her a second
time, for she believed that for every
woman there is but one mate, and
for every man but one woman and
that unknown to each other, true
love will draw them together across
time and space.
Many real dangers beset Jane Lor-
mer. Illicit love was spread to snare
her at a time when she had lost her
faith in Bob.
The creature who hunted her was
DR.. Hamilton Certeis. an information
al spy, who knew the courts of the
world as a mail carrier knows his
route, and who had served German
interests while posing as Daddy
Lorimer's business associate and de-
voted friend.

Jane Lorimer escaped from Certeis,
u~ndisgraced, and in possession of his
important secrets. She discovered
that he was q leader of the Bolshe-

She had the facts about a hoard of
Jewels which had been sunk in a
U-boat somewhere off the coast of
the Atlantic. The jewels had been
sent here for safe-keeping by Will

Are you reading Wfnona Wilcox
Payne's great serial, sConfessions of
a Bride" which Is RUNNING every
evening IN the EVENING NEWS? If
you are not. you are missing a great
treat. Read this synopsis and then
continue the story every evening.
BY a weird trick of shell shock
which numbed his brain while he
was in action in France, Bob Lori
mer, a private with the A. e. f., lost
the m of Jane, his bride. Ex-
cept for his ignorance of his mar
riage, Bob returned from Europe and
was discharged from the army in a
normal mental state.
Jane Lorimer, his wife, a just-or-
binary and just-average American
girl, was the daughter of the. presi-
dent of a small country college. When
her husband went to war h went
to live with her fath~er-in-law, NUM-
tions multi-millionaire.
But instead of lazily INDUCING
herself in the empty social pleasures
which wealth made possible. Jane
passed the period of her husbands
military service in a swirl of adven-
lures. She realized in her own ex-
%perience many of the fantastic
dreams which even very demure and
quiet girls are apt to indulge in.
War-Bride Loses Her Own Identity
In one of her escapades Jane Lor-
inner lost her own identity! She was
supposed to have been killed in a
railroad disaster. After Bob's dis
charge she took advantage of this
unique situation to put on a disguise.
