WEDNESDAY. 23, 1020 EVENING TELEGRAPH HAS HAPPENED MAMIE ASBE, Married for IS news ftber warns her daughter and MART of the ways of reporten. ASHTORETH, her only child, Is marrying Hollls Hart. A triumphant marriage, from a worldly point of view. The Harts are one of the oldest famllwi In Boston, and Hollls Is a mnlH-mMHonalre.

AshtorcJh In poor little stenographer, bat beautiful as a Folltes horse. Th ftojfr. meat for the press. Particularly In view of the fact that Hollta, flying from New York to Ma fiance In Boston, has figured In nn airplane accident. With him, at the time, was MONTY ENGLISH, an old sweetheart'i of Aahtoreth's.

Monty wai also harrying to her, became he had read that day In a York paper a story, which Implied that the "well known clubman rich and famous Mr. Hnrl" hnd become Involved in a rather lurid romance with "a yonng lady or un- ittual beauty, said to have bctn a stenographer In his employ." Monty, angry, meant to (jet at the facts of the story. Following the crash, he learns the Identity of his traveling companion, and ascertains that he means to marry Ashtoreth In the morning. Hollls motors from Connecticut, where the accident took place, to the Ashe flat In Boston. Meantime, the Boston papers have heard, not only of the airplane smash, but std'ry that was printed In New York.

They besiege the house like an army, Maliie warns the lovers, "Yon will never escape them. Don't I know? There's no outwitting the pack." NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XL Maizie was right. There was no fooling the pack. They camped all night on the door steps. Hollls left the apartment BB day began to break.

Then the reporters divided forces. Half of them followed, him. in. taxis, to. his.

club. Others were waiting there. Begging Interviews. Demanding statements. There were photographers with flashlights.

And Miss Fannie Drown of the Trumpet, Who never went to bed. Mr. Hart," begged Fannie, clutching him by the coat sleeve. "There's just one little thing I want to ask you. Tell me, Mr.

Hart, if it is your belief that stenographers make better wives than society girls." He shook off her detaining hand. "Good lord, Madam, you don't expect me to answer a thing like that!" Fannie was running up the broad steps after him, whipping a dog- eared notebook from her pocket. A pencil from the depths of a big brown sweethearts, then," she swiftly. "Do stenographers make better sweethearts than society girls, Hart? Prom your: own personal experience -I Parkins came trotting through the revolving door. "There's a gentleman what says 'e's a personal, frletid, sir, waiting in your bedchamber, sir, Hit's me own opinion, 'e's a news 'ound, If I may say so, sir." With scant grace, Parkins bundled Fanny down the stoop.

"A gentleman's clubl Hit's no place for ladles, Miss," he advised her. A suave young man rose from the ch a' in the, sitting room ol Hollls' suite. "Sorry to Intrude this way," he apologized pleasantly. "But business la business, Mr, Hart. There's a rumor around town that Dan Corum is filing suit for breach of promise against you.

Stories from Dan's office indicate that he'll be on the Job first thing In the morning. He made no statement himself, but the News wanted to give you an even break, so I came directly to you, Mr, Hart. Rather rotten, busting in on you this way, I know. But you understand how it Is." Hollts looked at him in nstonish- ment, "It's news to me," he declared. "And you might tell Coram for me, that If he pulls any of his dirty stuff I'Jl give him a punch In the nose.

And I'll sue his whole dam' firm for defamation of character." The suave young man smiled, "Then there's nothing to it, Mr. Hart?" "It's blackmail," Hollis told him shortly. "That's Corum's specialty, isn't it? It's the sort of stuff they pull on Babe Ruth and Red Orange, and any poor devil that happens In the limelight. And half of the suckers -pay, and the other half let them take It to court. Well, I'm not going to give Corum a cent, and I'm not going to let him take It to court either.

I'm going to knock his head off, instead. Mow you might take htm that little message, and see what sort of a comeback he has for that." The reporter smiled disarmlngly. "That's the way to handle those he approved. "And aU the skirts that make the trouble, too. I'll tell him what you said, Mr.

Hart. And, take It from me, there won't be another squawk out of Dan By the way, congratulations are in order, aren't they?" The suave young man extended Ills hand. Hollis shook his head. "You'd better save your felicitations for a while." The other looked surprised. Grieved, In fact.

"You're not going to be married in the morning?" he exclaimed. "Why, the News heard "The News," interrupted Hollls "heard nothing ol the kind." "Then you're not to be married in the morning? Shall I quote that, Mr. Hart, as coming from you?" Hollls' shoulders sagged wearily. He looked desperately tired. And a little old.

"Good lord!" he appealed. "Have you no respect for a man's private affairs? What I should ask you if it was true that you beat your wife? Or meant- to elope with the red- haired waitress at Chllds'. Can't you see It wouldn't be any more presumptuous' or absurd?" The man chuckled. "That Is the price of greatness," he said. "If I had a few million, Mr.

Hart, I wouldn't care what you asked me. nor what you said about me, either. I'd thumb my nose at the cockeyed world. And I'd tell the tabloids to go to the devil!" Hart smiled grimly "I was about to say something of the sort," he declared. The other took his hat.

"I was wondering when you'd suggest It," he declared good humoredly. "Well, goodnight, Mr. you certainly know how to pick, 'em. Miss Ashe can have my vote any old time. And that, I might say, is the concensus of opinion among the gentlemen of the press." "And how in blazes," demanded Hollls irritably, "do you know what Misu Ashe looks like?" The reporter beamed affably.

"We've some very good photographs of her," he explained. "The studio, where she sat last summer furnished several cuts, In exchange for what we call a 'credit line." It's customary, you know. We print in the corner 'Photograph by and they count It good advertising. There are several profiles and a beautiful full face. "As a matter of fact, one of the artists was painting on a veil and wedding gown, when I left the office.

You'll see it in the first edition, Mr. Hart, Four-column front page layout." Hollis choked angrily. "It may be all In the day's work," he sputtered, "but it's a hell of a way to earn a living." His caller bowed. "If I had inherited a few millions, I should not," he murmured politely, 'be engaged in such a nefarious occupation. Our motto, Mr.

Hart, )s 'Give the people what they Presidents get elected dn that platform. So I guess It's good enough for the News." He withdrew. And, slipping out a back way, took a taxi to the office. "Nothing," he mused, "to set the world afire, but a pretty good story at And, In his mind's eye, he saw a banner line In the first edition. MILLIONAIRE HART THREATENS ATTORNEY CORUM, her if she liked children.

It was hen that Vina asked If she believed companlonate marriage. And should a woman have a career? They persuaded Ashtoreth to pose, with Maizie, for a flashlight. With Malzle sitting in the big divan, and Ashtoreth on the firm, looking ten- into each other's eyes. Then thy wanted pictures of Ashtoreth with her knees crossed. And someone asked if she had a picture of Hollls that she could be looking at, very soulfully, for a time exposure.

It was getting light by that time. Meantime, Fannie Drown had hurried to Maizte's flat. Now, Fannie was rated the most ingenious sob sister in Boston. She offered the taxi driver double fare, and told him to step on it. "I'll bet," she moaned, "they've beaten me to Bailey and Vina Adams.

I never should have played anything but the girl end!" Fannie was fight. Malzle, who couldn't bear 'to refuse anybody anything, had been persuaded to admit a chosen few, selected as spokesmen for the group. When Fannie found that out, she bribed the janitor, anc waited in the hall, while he delivered a note. Maizie read tt, and admitted Fannie. Belle and Vina and Johnny Mahoney smiled when they saw her They knew Fannle's favorite ruse For 10 years she had been getting away with It.

The note she had written read like this: "Dear Miss Ashe: Please let me see you tor only a minute. I am a new reporter, and this is my first important assignment. It means my job to me. I will be fired, if you refuse. PLEASE." 14 was Fannie who wanted a message for stenographers.

And Belle who asked about the nightgowns Vina was thirsting for the story of the the very beginning, please, Miss Ashe." Johnny looked foolish, and asked Children's Colds are doubly dangerous after Flu Physicians advise that the chief danger fh this epidemic is AFTER influenza. Then, more than ever, colds attacking a child's weakened system may lead to bronchitis, pneumonia, sinus trouble, abcess of the ear, mastoiditis, or even the dread meningitis. Check them Promptly Without "Dosing" A peculiarity of influenza is that its toxins leave the digestive system upset. Too much "dosing" further disturbs the digestion and lessens the appetite, just when the child needs nourishment more than ever. Internal medication should therefore be avoided, on the advice of a physician.

As Vicks VapoRub is applied externally, it can be used freely at the first sign of a cold with no fear of upsetting the most delicate stomach. Just rub it on the throat at bedtime. 2 at Once: (1) Its medicated vapors, released by the body-warmth, are inhaled direct to the inflamed air-passages, loosening the phlegm and easing the difficult breathing. (2) At the same time, Vicks acts through the skin like a poultice, "drawing out" tightness and soreness, and thus helping the vapors to break up the congestion. Equally good for adults.

Of course, Vicks 2-way action is just as effective for adults' cold-troubles as it is for those of children. CKS VAPORUB Brighton News At six o'clock Maicle made coffee, and cut an apple pie. Vina scribbled on the corner of an envelope, "Just folksey," and wondered how soon money would spoil the two of them. Ashtoreth, they decided, was probably hi love. And darn clever, If she wasn't.

At last it WBS over. Half-past seven. "Lie down for a little while, honey," besought Malzle. "You'll want to be looking your best, the circles you got under your me-oh myl" "But, Mums, how con II There's too much to do." Malzle was so near to tears that she must pretend to be very busy. Opening Ashtoreth's bags.

Shaking out frocks. Folding and unfolding. And packing again. "I'm going to draw a nice warm bath for you, Baby Lamb, and you're to take a little nap, Mr. Hart told me you'd go straight to New York, and you can get whatever clothes you need there." "Mother I You mustn't call htm Mr.

Mums, he's Just about your son-in-law already." Ashtoreth laughed hysterically. "Did you know, darling, he wants to go to Paris? And he says you're to move right down to the Copley Plaza, Mother. And stay anywhere in the world you until we come back again. Then we're going to take a house, and you're to live with us, forever and ever." she was moved, most Maizie never was a gracious person. "Me at the Copley Plaza 1" she scoffed.

"Say, wouldn't that be swell." you like stroked her mother's hand, "Don't you think he's sweet, Mother?" "Sweetl better be sweet," Maizie scowled belligerently. "What's that he kept calling you 'Orchid'? What does he 'Orchid'?" "Oh, he says I remind him of orchids, Mother. It's so darling of him. He says I'm exquisite, and and all the loveliest things you ever heard, Like an orchid, you of cool and ot coutse It's just too silly, isn't it smiled rap- tuously. And Malzle, holding her daughter's face between her plump pink palms, prayed in 'her heart that always be kind to Ashtoreth.

Bedause, thought Malzle, there aren't many such beautiful smiles in the world, and fate would be cruel, Indeed, if the most beautiful smile of them all should perish. The hours flew. And they laughed a little, and cried a little. And planned a little. And Ashtoreth spelt while Malzle cried a little more.

Then Hollls came, and spirited her baby away. Maizie did not want' to see the ceremony. She was afraid, she said, she would cry. What she meant was that she thought her heart would break. So Ashtoreth and Hollls were married In Mr.

Higglnbottom's office, with only two stenographers to see. Ashtoreth (she touched her pearls with her finger tips), take the, HoUis (the richest man in Boston) dear, It was thoughts that went through a girl's mind, when she was getting married, "For better, for worse (for better, thank God!) "For richer, for poorer (she smiled a lovely, misty smile). Hollis looked so (To Be Continued) You will want to- start on their moneymoon, with Ashtoreth and Hollis. They sail at noon on the Isle de France. Wm.

For Colds How many people you know end their colds with Bayer Aspirin I And how often you've heard of its prompt relief of sore throat or tonstlitis. No wonder millions take it for colds, neuralgia rheumatism; and the aches and pains that go with them. The wonder is that anyone still worries through a winter without these tablets! They relieve quickly, yet have no effect whatever on the heart.

Friends have told you Bayer Aspirin is marvelous; doctors have declared it harmless. Every druggist has it, with proven directions. Why not put it to the test ot SPIRIN Safety, silence and simplicity are features of the new Ford six-brake system ONE of Jfce first things you will notice when you drive the new Ford is the quick, effective, eflent action of its six-brake system. This system gives you the highest degree of safety and reliability because the four-wheel service brakes and the separate emergency or parking brakes are all of the mechanical, internal-expanding type, with braking surfaces fully enclosed for protection against mud, water, sand, etc. The many advantages of this type of braking system have long been recognized.

They are brought in the new Ford through a series of mechanical improvements embodying much that is new in design and manufacture. A particularly unique feature is the simple way by which a special drum has been constructed to permit the use of two sets of internal brakes on the rear wheels. The brake construction on the front wheels also is unusual. Here the brakes are enclosed without the use of a leather boot or sliding joint to protect the linkage between the brake rods and the mechanism on the brake plate. A further improvement is effected by the self-centering feature of the four-wheel an exclusive Ford development.

Through this construction, the entire surface of the shoe is brought in contact with the drum the instant you press your foot on the brake pedal. This prevents screeching and howling and makes the Ford brakes unusually silent. Another feature of the Ford brakes is the ease of adjustment. The four-wheel brakes are adjusted by turning a regulating screw conveniently located on the outside of each brake plate. This screw is so notched that all four brakes can be set alike simply by Listening to the "clicks." The emergency or parking brakes on the new Ford require little attention.

However, should they need adjustment at any time, consult your Ford dealer for prompt, courteous, and economical service. He works under close factory supervision and he has been specially trained and equipped to help you get the greatest possible use from your car over the longest period of time at a minimum of trouble aad expense.
