Girl Alone Part 39

On Tuesday Sally and David, accompanied by Enid and Courtney Barr, went to the munic.i.p.al building for the marriage license, and the afternoon papers carried the news on the front pages, under such headlines as: "Popular Deb to Marry Rich Farmer." But in all the stories there was no hint of scandal, no reportorial prying into the "past" of the adopted daughter of the rich and prominent Courtney Barrs.

The wedding took place on Wednesday, in the drawing-room of the Barrs'

Fifth Avenue mansion, and the next morning, in his account of the "very quiet" wedding, a society editor commented: "The ceremony was read by the Reverend Horace Greer, of Canfield, --, the choice of celebrant being dictated by unexplained sentiment."

What the society editor did not know was that "the marrying parson" of Canfield spoke only the last half of the marriage service, beginning where he had been interrupted nearly three years before.

Sally and David were no longer "half married."

GOOD GIRL

By Roy L. Foley

Which meant she had to look for work in spite of the fact that she was one of the prominent Deanes.

In quest of a job she is thrown into strange company for her but not so strange in this jazz-mad, gin-drinking age.

Nancy is a beautiful girl and as a result runs the whole gamut of experiences that would beset a beautiful young lady from a small town.

As Ginger Varden, sophisticated but big hearted, said, "Listen about the girl who didn't know she had 'it'."

THE YELLOW STUB

By Ernest Lynn

A furious tale of modern crime, involving a clash between a resolved youth and modern gangdom. A fast, intriguing expose of organized crime in a large city, with its many ramifications and a plot that defies solution until the breath-taking climax, written by a newspaper reporter who knows his underworld.

A staid, respectable citizen of Grafton is found murdered in the most disreputable hotel in town. The community and the victim's family are not only shocked but his family is also faced with disgrace because in the murdered man's room is found a woman's handkerchief.

There is one other clue-The Yellow Stub-which proves to be the key link in an amazing chain of mystery and which plays the princ.i.p.al part in removing the cloud which might have hung forever over the dead man's memory.

With this slender clue, alone and armed only with the weapons of courage and persistence, the murdered man's son sets out to solve the mystery and avenge his father's slayers. He is led into a vicious labyrinth of widely ramified modern gangdom, with danger and death lurking in every shadow, with unbridled pa.s.sions ruled by avarice and hate.

His task is complicated by two beautiful women, but Jim Rand succeeds in his mission, with a climax as surprising as it is dramatic.

A stirring story of the triumph of clean youth over safely entrenched, organized crime, with a thrill on every page.
