Problems That Perplex Answered by BEATRICE FAIRFAX Marrying In Haste. Dear Miss Fairfax: About a year ago I was secretly married to a man five years my senior. Immediately after my father started court proceedings, and finally succeeded in getting our marriage annulled on the ground that I was under age. My father threatened to disown me if I had anything more to do with this young man. Xow, Miss Fairfax, I do love him, and he loves me, as he has proven on many occasions. We have met regularly and realize that we cannot live without each other. His Income now is large enough to support me, and as 1 am 18 years of age now, we again plan to get married. I love him dearly, and also love my parents. My mother said sne would die of a broken heart if X would ever contemplate such a marriage. I simply know that I cannot live with out him. What would you advise me to do? HEARTBROKEN. Of course 18 often declares - that it cannot live without someone anly to find at 20, and perhaps again at 21 or 22, that an entirely different Ideal attracts and appeals. So it seems sad to think that your parents must again suffer on your account, as they no doubt suffered when you ran away and their little girl suddenly de veloped into a married woman. On the other hand, "youth must be served," and parents often adjust themselves to the inevitable and learn to accept and even tb find happiness in the marriage they once found so contrary to all their desires. Can't you wait awhile and make sure of your own feelings? Perhaps you are just in loVe with love. A step such as you plan to take requires thought and time to prove, its justi fication.

Uleaborg; The Red Book Magazine Acquires All Three Narratives. NOW GIVEN TO WORLD FOR FIRST TIME This is the weird and absorbing story, humorous, pa thetic and tragic, of three young women who never have known one another. Widely different in kind and dwelling far apart, their paths have never crossed, yet their singular adventures, require telling as one narrative. Two of these young women occupy similar stations in life, but greater diversity than theirs is not often found. The third is far more unlike the other two than they are like one another. They become the personages of a single story because unconsciously they are linked by a single interest. One of the this trio is the studious and outwardly unemotional assist ant librarian in a midwestern subur ban community. The gods reached down and took her by the hands and she brushed greatness for awhile. Two Prompt Strange Crimes. Another is the lovely but obscure orphaned daughter of an art col lector, eking out an existence as a secretary, and becoming, because of her poverty, the unwitting insti gator of a crime marked by a cun ning worthy of a better cause. ' And the third is a nameless maiden sold out of China into the most hideous form of slavery. But vengeance was her handmaiden and played villainy into her power, and she in turn shaped events until they led to one of the strangest and cruelest feats of psychological punishment on record. Each, after her great hour, has withdrawn from view, though none of them can withdraw into forget fulness. In this three-ply fashion their stories are "fcow told for the first time. First of all there is Miss Henri etta Brown, a young woman whose reserve has often been admired. She has served a useful rather than or namental purpose at the desk of the library in a Chicago suburb. Her 'eyes are circled with the rims of studious glasses; her voice is low and her speech precise; her dress is plain and remarkable for nothing, as befits one who boards with her worn, child-bearing sister, wife of a bookkeeper, who lives in a plain cottage "across the tracks." Had Secret Interest. To her neighbors and to those for whom she fetches books from high shelves, the assistant librarian is merely Miss Henrietta Brown, but that plain but serviceable name con ceals a high sensation, hitherto sup pressed. When Miss Brown was not fetching books or minding her wail ing nieces and nephews she had in terests of her own. These she culti vated in an unused garage back of the cottage "across the tracks." There with doors bolted and shades drawn, unshod and unhindered by raiment more elaborate than blouse and bloomers, she taught herself the way to freedom. And when she found it, as she did. she was, for her brief spell of glory, not plain Miss Henrietta Brown of the subur- ban library, but a radiant creature who took the applause of the multi tude. That is now all a thing of the past. In her great day Miss Brown took refuge in such anonymity as the title of The Masked Dancer af- forded, andMn all the suburb' only one found her out the studiously sedate, but soon desperately strick en, principal trustee of the library wherein Miss Henrietta Brown fetches books. And his way of find ing her out, and his reaction to his discovery, and her response to his reaction, are no less a part of the suppressed sensation than Miss Brown's flaming career incognito. Daring Crime Is Concealed. Suppression f the singular story ""of the second young woman may seem even more remarkable, for her career was marked by an incident which cried loudly for publicity. This young woman, name of Edge water, possesses remarkable beauty. But her beauty has never been ex ploited and she, even more than Miss Henrietta Brown, is content to abide in obscurity. Miss Edgewater's employer as serts that she has no particular sec retarial talent. The principal enemy of her employer asserts that she has pictorial qualities which rise above comparison even in New York, a city famous for its beautiful women. The events which bring Miss Edgewater into this story have never been mentioned by her. It is not thought that she is even aware of them. She and her mother have found life difficult since the death of her father. In the beginning, her employment was an act of char ity on the part of the man who was led, by the pathetic situation in which she ( and her mother found themselves to apply his great but sinister talent for their benefit. Kindness Proves His Undoing. This employer, it may now be told, is Heywood Achison, a man of impressive mien, a payer of office rent, but otherwise a person with- K out visible means of support. He does not move in society, yet he is not a police character. Whatever he has done, lie has not been found out not until now. And it was a . trick of fate that he was found out at the only time in his career that he ever attempted to do a charitahlt. act. (-, One man alone found him out, and that man, Wallace Ramsay, his unrelenting enemy, was led to com pound a felony by suppressing trjs story of a crime because of his budding interest in the young woman out of sympathy for-whotn Achison risked his liberty and so much of hts reputation as he had theretofore been able to preserve Achison's sympathy for the girl , and her mother prompted him to de stroy by fire his own home and its contents, among which was a spur ious Velasquez, long owned in the Edgewater family, but used by Achison in a daring aUcmpt to swindle an insurance company fdr the relief of the former owners 8 the canvas. The sensational interest in thi rase of arson lies not so much irj the mere commission of the crimed nor in what prompted it, as in tta exercise of satanic cunning with which it was committed with a viey to creating the impression that th& burning of the house was acci dental. And equally sensational is the story of the maimer in which the crime was detected and thf criminal accused. Third Is Napieless Slave Girl. There is no. record of the jiame of the third young woman of tjre trio with -which this story is "con cerned. She is a Chinese giil, and where she is and the conditions un der which she exists-are unknown. But she figured in a case of tong revenge both strange and ghastly before she dropped out of sight. This Chinese slave girl was an unwilling passenger on an old tub, the Vasa, Capt. Uleab,or!?, which was beating up the Pacific from Mexico to San Francisco. On the boat with her were eight Chinamen, who, by virtue of variou3 amounts paid the Finnish captain, were led to believe thev could defeat the ex elusion act and permit themselves to be smuggled into the United States. But these eight Chinamen came to port at Anacapa dead men dropped into deep water. Uleaborg had their money and thought it safer to enforce their debarkation at sea than to take them through the Golden Gate. The slave girl was tolled off with the eight othel celestial passengers, but when, tha slaughter began she dived into the sea with the courage f a Tahiti girl. She was picked out of tha sea by Chinese fishermen, rrtmhera i of the Four Brothers Tong, and t6 them she told the ttory i f ihe mur- der. of eight ncn by Uleaborg. Captain Caught in Trap. From that hour' the Finn was a marked man. Though he was a ' hairy giant, he was not slow witted Twelve months the tong waited for I its opportunity, and then it wreaked ' its vengeance with unparalleled completeness. '" AH the craftiness of the highly educated and influential California Chinaman, Lee Sat Kan, was re quired to enable the tong to get its , hands on Uleaborg, and then this was accomplished only by appealing to the latter's cunning. He fell into the trap and he paid, and still pays, in living death, the penalty for his crimes. , . The newly revealed means by which the sea captain was captured by tne tong and the marvelous means of his punishment; unprecei dented in America, are-woven into a narrative of absorbing interest. How Stories Are Recorded. : ; So are told in a few sentences some phases of the singularly iiW teresting stories of three young women who have never known one another, whose paths have never crossed, and yet whose stories, greatly amplified, combine to sup port a single interest. '. The amusingly sensational story of the strange exploits of Miss Hen rietta Brown is related by Samue,l Merwin, famous novelist, in "The Garage of Enchantment." The exciting narrative of the In fluence of a girl's beauty on the career of a sympathetic crook Is found in Miss Edgewater's history a set dov1 by Wilson Wood4 row, favorite with readers, in "Every Man Has His Price." And the weird and tragic story of the Chinese tong's unremitting punishment of Capt. Uleaborg is written by Jack Boyle, authority orr the Oriental in America, in "The Claws of the Tong." These three stories and ten others eauallv irood are in the April issue of The RED BOOK MAGAZINE, on ; sale at nil news stands. Adv,
