WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
A New Serial of Young Married Life
—By ANN LISLE.
CHAPTER LIX.
Suddenly I realized that Neal took it
for granted he was going to stay with
me. What would Jim say?
“Listen, dear. I want you to remain
here just as long as you’re comfortably—
but I'm not going to take money from
my own darling kid brother,’’’ I replied
firmly.
“Well, I like that: Say, Babbsie
didn't I pay in eight per at home?
‘‘Don’t turn this little old fox loose in
New York with too much cash—he might
bny himself a gold brick. Say, sis, let's
toss up a penny who washes the dishes.
The winner dries them.”
As we finished the work. Neal looked
around with a complete air of posses
sion—of belonging.
“They paid me a week in advance, sis,”
he suddenly said. "Here's my first fif
teen. It's worth it, Babbsio. My, but

“I can’t take it, Neal—money from

Neal forced the bills Into my hand.
“Can the sentiment, els. It’s all right
between us, but I’m not going to sponge
on that husband of yours.’”
“I won’t take your money,” I said
stubbornly. "What did father say about
your plans to pay me?”
"Father said nothing." Neal looked
down at his feet. "He didn’t know I
was coming. I got my job and lit out
—suddenly.”
"Neal!” I cried in sudden fright. "Why
did you do that?”
"Now, Babbsie, I answered you long
ago. Why? For S3O? To get mixed
up with the t>ig city and kind of get
lost In it. I want to live here, with your
ex-lieutenant and you and all your at

questions, Babbsie —I tell you I’ve got

Neal’s young face wore a look of dead

home with Jim and me, and 1 realized
also, with cruel abruptness, that; I must
take his money.
“Neal, I won’t’ ask you to tell me
Anything you don’t want me to know.
You shall stay as long as you like and
I’ll let you pay me $lO a week—but—
but—l’m not going to tell my husband
I’m taking pay from you. If you want
to stay you'll have to accept my terms.”
Neal began to bluster.
“You want me to let that husband of
jours think I’m sponging on him, do
you? That’s not fair—l can’t be put
In such a position.”
“Then you can’t stay with me, Neal.’
Neal’s eyes met mine ehallengingly.
Our glances clashed for a moment and
then he looked away.
“All right,” he said at last. “This
Is the safest place for me. I'll do what
you say, Babbsie. Now, why don’t you
call up that little Mason gilrl and in

SINCE the discovery of petro
leum, the per capita produc
tion of wheat in the United States
has more than doubled, and this
in the face of a constandy de
creasing percentage in our farm
population. The products of
petroleum have been largely
responsible for the increase.
In 1850,90 percent of our people
lived on farms; in 1919 only 33
percent of the population was
listed as rural.
In 1850 the per capita production
of wheat was 4.4 bushels, while
in 1919 it was almost 9 bushels.
On the farms of the Middle West
—the bread-basket of the nation
—the gas engine is best known.
And here this engine is plowing,
seeding, and harvesting by the
square mile instead of by the
acre, and it is doing the work
better, quicker, and cheaper than
it could be done by horse-power.
These engines must have gasoline, and
they must have oil, both products of
petroleum.
That is why the U. S. Government
declares that “petroleum is a basic neces
sity, as much so as wool or wheat”.
The manufacture and distribution of
gasoline, lubricating oils, and other
petroleum products, have been developed
to a high degree of efficiency by the
Standard Oil Company (Indiana).
This organization, trained by years of
experience to anticipate unheralded
conditions, has been able to foresee and
prepare to meet problems, which, un
solved, might have proved disastrous.
Even transportation and other troubles
in allied industries have failed to make
an appreciable interruption in the steady
flow of products from the refineries of
the Standard Oil Company (Indiana)
to the consumers of the Middle West.
