reached over and took my hand be- tween both of his, pattd it absent mindedly-and then relased it.
 Betty took a fancy to you first shot," he said with conviction. "She could have done with a little more warmth from you, and directly you showed it. I make no doubt she'd have told you what I'm going to tell now. Don't let's put on any side now about whether she'd have chosen Virginia or you. It's you who're here now. Will you take on the job of trying to work out where Betty'd naturally go under the circum- Stances?"
 Yes, Terry. Tell me the whole story,'' I said.
 This time I meant it-and I wasn't thinking how line it was that I had a friend. Instead I was praying that Terry had friend in me-a friend who'd be of some real use to him and Betty.
 Terry leaned forward, his knees apart, his clasped hands hanging be- tween them. For all that he was so big and so fit, he 1ooked-help1ess
 "I never knew Atherton Bryce" he said, in a low, colorless voice. HHe was in. the British Flying Corps = came over to help us just after Mons Early in the game, you see. He was out scouting for the artillery-trying to locate an enemy position-when a boche air circus got him. Your Jim came to the rescue. The Huns wouldn't face two-so they flew off back of their 1ines-and as Jim was pursuing, one of them sneaked down out of a cloud and got Bryce. Jim potted one of the devils, and then turned to help his mate. He made his landing in time to pull poor Bryce out of his blazing machine that had crumpled down on the edge of a road-just in front of a little ruin ed church. He dragged Bryce into the church and tried to give him first aid. But the poor chap died there at the foot of the altar. I suppose you knew"
 ''No,' I gasped. "Jim only told me part. No wonder there was nothing too much for Betty to do for Jim and his wife-she was so grateful So grateful. And I don't suppose I ever entirely gave over being little jealous - wondering little off in some corner of my brain why she and Jim were such-real friends. I see now. It was-gratitude," Gro Be Continued.)

When A Girl Marries
By ANN LESLIE

B. Terry leaped at any suggestion that meant action, moving toward some clue in his search. Carlotta volunteer ed to try to find what taxi company Betty called just before leaving.
 That girls a brick" said Terry quietly, as we rode down town in the elevated. Anthony Norreys had used his very words.
 o..r taxi was waiting when we got down to the street. We fairly leaped sinto the car and in almost complete Silence drove to my apartment When we arrived there l hurried at sonce to get my mail
 There were three letters in the liar trison box. I jerked them out. One for me from Neal. typed envelope tfor Jim and an announcement from a milliner. That was all--no line from Betty.
 I tried to ignore the sudden sinking of my heart.
 Come up and wait for Jim. He's fond of Betty too. and he'll tell us what pair of sillies we are to fuss Fjust because she goes off on some < affairs of her own and doesn't consult us."
 r "Yes, I'd like to see old Jimmie,' agreed Terry. as he stumbled into the elevator after me.
 q The grinning elevator boy turned to me with an announcements:
 "Mistah Harrison, he phone: Yas'm, he do. He say tell you he be here fdireckly-no later than 'leven."
 Its after that now" declared Terry. .,glancing at his wrist watch as he spoke.
 Mine forty-five," he reported with an air of anazement. "I thought it was midnight"
 He smiled at me wanly but apolo- getica1ly as we left the elevator, and added with a. little effort to poke fun at himself:

 Terry, I know,'' I said. "I love Betty, too. I only found it out last might, but it's been trying to come Through to daylight for long while." Then I got the door open, switched on the lights set out an ash tray, cigarettes and matches and hurried into my bedroom.
 I took long time removing my canteen cap and apron and hanging away my cape. When I felt I'd given Terry time enough to adjust himself to the disappointment of finding no word from Betty even here at my home. I went out to hiD. He was striding up and down the room, his hands clasped behind him, his head low, but at the sound of my approach he hurried to me almost shyly.
 "Anne;" he said. accepting the new status my calling him Terry had es- tablished. "Anne-you just said-you loved her"
 He stumbled over the words a bit. took his hands as if he were a little boy-as, indeed, what man in trouble isn't.-and led him to the big couch. I pushed him down in the very cofieSt corner and sank into a little low chair, facing him. Then, looking at him with the big-sister smile that no one had needed since Neal left me, I said, Slowly and quietly:

Terry. what I said was that loved Betty TOO!"
 Terry looked at me in the greatest astoniShment. He didn't dream how very evident his feeling for Betty had always been to me. For a second, boyish almost shame-faced grim flick cred out on his face. It made me like him better than ever, and I held out my hands in pleading.
 -"Oh, Terry! can't you trust me? You've been so loyal to Jim and me. Aren't we really friends? Betty said friendship has togo two ways"
 Again Terry smiled-a mans smile now, little wan. perhaps, but very his first words I knew that the bar riers of his reserve had gone down swept away not by chance but by his own choice: Terry did trust me.
 "So you've guessed that I-care? Oh, Anne, I'd die just to have Betty happy And she's ghost-ridden!'
 "Ghost-ridden? Jim said that very thing, Terry. He said you both were for man who probably did not de- serve it. Oh, Terry, Terry, don't you think you need some one to look at things for you and see them simply and without any of the awful back ground of the war and bloody fields that seem to be stifiing-stihing things for you and Betty! Don't you?''
 After had said it I was frightened. I could fairly. see Terry withdrawing from me, repulsing my eager efforts as if they were mere curiosity. For a minute he was silent-still as if cut out of stone. Then he1 eaned forward, slasped his hands and dropped them between his knees. A tiny smile etch- ed itself across the sombreness of his face.
 "Ghost-ridden. Both of us. Per Anne, you love Betty. too. And so I'm going to tell you the whole story hers and mine and Atherton's."
 CHAPTER CXv.
 "The whole story Yes, tell me, Terry,' I said very~quietly. In the midst of my@ worry over Bettys scious of an odd. warm feeling that seemed to permeate me. It was the feeling of belonging.
 Only the night before-dismisse by Virginia, fiouted by Phoebe and Evvy-I had thought myself the all our big city. Now Terry Winston was treating me as if I were his dear and trusted confidante, his sister. He was going to unravel for me the mys- tery of his odd. baffling friendship with Betty Bryce. I knew a minute of delight, and then came sudden reaction. Before Terry could begin his story I marshalled it into words:
 '"Terry-wait! Betty has been the kindest of friends to me ever since my honeymoon days. But she has never told me anything vital about herself. She hasn't made me her confidante. There's Virginia. Per haps Betty'd rather-if some one has to know her story-rather} it were Virginia. I don't want to take ad- vantage of happening just happen ing to be here now -
 Terry raised his face and studied me forf a second or two. What he read there seemed to satisfy him. He

Seeing you have openly expressed
such a broadminded policy in the rather
heated prohibition question, we venture
to take advantage Of just a wee bit OF
YOUR valuable space to endorse with all
our hearts, and all our might, and all
our souls, the position and views re-

Iished in last Saturdays Avis. After
reading today's Herald we feel all the
more impelled to add at least one bolster
to the editice OF plain truth and common
sense so boldly expressed by the author
of that letter. To read today'S Herald
is sufficient 10 convince anyone OF aver
