THIS HAS HAPPENED HELEN PAGE feels hopelessly In love with her handsome guardian. LEONARD BRENT. A chance meeting with a dying beggar, CHARLES NELLIN. who tells a strahfte story, causes Brent to change his plans for Helen's future. Shortly afterward he tells Helen that in accordance with a promise given her parents, he is now to reveal her identity and she Is the only grandchild of a millionaire. CYRIL K. CUNNINGHAM. Brent takes her to Cunningham and offers as proof a locket containing a picture which he had taken from the dying Nelltn. Pending investigation. Helen remains with her grandfather, who gives her anew car. She drives everywhere until she accidentally hits EVA feNNIS, who has to be taken to the hospital. Helen meets Eva’s brother ROBERT, who 1. lls In love with her. junningham announces that Helen Is his dead daughter's child and his heiress. Brent Anris a lost locket which exactly matches the one he had taken from Nellin. To avoid discovery, he asks Helen not to wear her locket in public. A few days Inter Eva and Helen overturn a canoe on the lake and Robert rescues them. While changing clothes. Eva tells Helen that she had lost an oldfashioned locket the night of her party. Fearing Robert's attentions to Helen ar.d annoyed bv the demands on him for monev by CARMEL SEGFO. Brent tries to think of a 'ale plan to secure Helen and her Inheritance. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXIV TT was several days before Brent went up to Bramblewood following the Sunday afternoon of Bob's .rescue of Helen on the lake. His wlans had been slow' in maturing, inasmuch as Helen's actions had an Important bearing upon them. On Monday he had telephoned to ask her to come down to New York and lunch with him. but she said her grandfather's condition re- ! quired her to be with him. The next day Brent telephoned ! a second time, only to receive the same message. He felt it unwise to be too insistent and on Wednesday j he decided to drive up to Yonkers j and see for himself whether if really was the seriousness of her grandfather's illness that kept Helen at Bramblewood or whether Bob Ennis had anything to do with it. On that day Mr. Cunningham was better and Brent was convinced that he had not been so ill as Helen pretended. "She did not want to see jne,” he conceded. But his conclusion was a trifle puzzling to him. because in manner she had not changed greatly toward him She did not speak of Bob. and Brent had no desire to bring up his name. Had he been able to question her fully he would have learned that concern for her grandfather had driven all other thoughts from her mind—all thoughts except the one that she might need someone to lean upon when death fiflally become so dear to her. Instinctively she turned to Brent when she thought of being left entirely alone in the world. But it was not the turning of one blindly In love and Brent sensed the difference, although he did not correctly analyze it. a a a TOU musn't exhaust yourself so.” he said to her while she was pouring tea for him.. “I never saw your hands shake like that before. Don’t you go out at all?” “I haven’t been out since Sunday.” “Don’t you think you could leave your grandfather tomorrow and come down to New York? W T e will go to a matinee and I’ll have you back here early." “I’d like to.” Helen admitted. “He is much better today; perhaps he will be able to sit up tomorrow. Time passes much faster for him when he is at the window.” “What does the doctor say about him?” “He says he is getting stronger. I mean stronger than he has been since Sunday, but that he never will be w'ell again.” “He might live for years.” not for years, but tile doctor said he might linger for months—even a year. But any sudden shock Krill kill him.” Her words, serious as they were to Helen, were of greater significance to Brent Even a few months he told himself, might be sufficient time for Helen to realize that being in love and being in love with love are two different things. At that moment, in Leonard Brent's mind, the seal was finally eet upon Mr. Cunningham's fate. •Will you telephone me In the looming?” he asked Helen, “to let

,me know If you will lunch with me?” Helen promised, and shortly afterward Brent took his departure. He did not go up to take leave of Mr. Cunningham. He spent a restless night—not because he was troubled by his conscience, but because the daring of his plan was perfectly apparent to him If anything went wrong he would be unable to explain the act that he now depended upon to clear his path. “But the odds are with me.” he encouraged himself. “I’ve got to gamble.” Helen called him at 10 o'clock to say she would meet him for lunch, but that she could not stay to attend a matinee. Her grandfather’s condition was slightly worse.” “But I told him last night that I might go down today,” she explained to Brent, “and he insists that I go.” “Tell him I'm much obliged,” Brent said pleasantly. “I’ve missed you, dear.” When he saw' her she showed evidence of being under a severe strain. “We will lunch in some quiet place,” he told her, “and then I’ll drive you home. It will be good for you to be out of doors.” Helen welcomed the suggestion of driving back to Bramblewood. “But we mustn’t be too long at lunch,” he pointed out, "or I won’t have time to drive up. I promised to be back to tea.” a a a HER information gave Brent a new' thought. He began to act cn it at lunch by ordering dishes that would require special preparation. Helen protected the delay, but Brent assured her he would make up the time on the road. “You need to relax and stop worrying,” he cautioned her. A moment later he signaled the head waiter and w'hispered to him w’hile Helen sat with her eyes closed, trying to overcome her weariness. Presently a beautiful orchid corsage was brought to her. She put out her hand across the table in thanking Brent and for a moment he wondered if he had not been unduly alarmed about Bob Ennis. But on the drive to Yonkers she was silent and pensive. Brent hardened his heart to carry out his plans, knowing that defeat for him might w'ell be behind her mood. He too fell silent and they were only a short distance from Bramblewood when that which he had planned occurred. Suddenly, and without apparent reason, the car lurched to one side of the road. Brent had allowed the front w'heels to strike a rut and had not attempted to control it. This gave him opportunity to drive the car off the road under pretense of getting it righted. It happened so quickly that Helen had no time to realize what Brent had done. She though that he had been careless, but she did hot question its being an accident. They came to a stop in a weedgrown depression so deep that Brent was unable to get the car back on the road under its own power. “I ll have to go for help,” he said to Helen when finally he appeared to accept the inevitable. “Fortunately. we are near Bramblewood. They ought to be able to pull us out with the service car.” Helen started to climb to the ground. "I’ll walk with you,” she said. "If you don't -mind,” Brent objected quickly, "I'd rather you stayed here. I’ve some things in the car that I shouldn’t like to leave unguarded. Besides, you are probably pretty badly shaken up. Better wait here, dear.” Helen sank back in the seat. She was a bit unnerved and very tired. The walk held no particular appeal for her. “I won’t be long,” Brent promised. and started off. tt a a WHEN he reached Bramblewood he asked for Marks, and told Ashe not to say in Mr. Cunningham's presence who it was that wanted to see his attendant. “Miss Nellin and I have met with a slight accident.” he explained, "and I wish to inquire if Mr. Cun-

—By Williamt

ningham's condition will permit us to tell him of it.” "He is not very good, sir.” Ashe volunteered. "Too bad,” Brent said feelingly. “Try not to disturb him when you send Marks down.” When Marks came a few minutes later Brent told him that his car was ditched and asked him to send someone to get it to Bramblewood. "I’ll go up and reassure Mr. Cunningham,” he said, moving toward the door. "Please be careful. Mr. Brent,” Marks replied uneasily. "He has been fretting about Miss Nellin’s absence. If he thought anything had happened to her ...” “I understand,” Brent said. "I won’t excite him.” But when he reached the sick man’s room he was, even without words, a startling visitor. He had left his hat downstairs and his graying hair was now wildly disordered. With a jerk he had loosened his tie. His coat w'as pulled off one shoulder and one cuff of his shirt w'as hanging below his tugged-up coatsleeve. Altogether he w’as as disheveled as he could make himself. He burst Into Mr. Cunnigham’s room with the abruptness of a man who had lost all his self control. The invalid, watching the doer for Helen’s coming, sat up with a start. Brent came on. staggering slightly, and clutching at his throat with one hand, while the other groped for support on the air. Quite close to the bed he stopped and. appeared to see the man upon it, for the first time since he had entered the room. Mr. Cunningham’s face was as white as his pillow and his eyes were horribly distended. "What is it?” he attempted to say, but there w'as nothing more than a croak to Issue from his blue lips. "Oh, my God!” Brent cried, as though the words had been wrung from him in agony. "Helen! Helen! She has been killed.” (To Be Continued) School Bus Law Ignored pj/ Timet Special MTJNCIE. Ind..

THE RETURN OF TARZAN

A great ocean liner was nearing France. Aboard her was Tarzan of the Apes, returning home to his African jungle. Thinking, rather sorrowfully, over the past few weeks, he wondered if he ha<| acted wisely. For he had renounced his birthright and the woman he loved. To a man to whom he owed nothing.

Tarzan's thoughts drifted from the past to the future. He tried to look forward wih pleasurable sensations to the scenes of his birth and boyhood. But who now would there be to welcome him in the fierce, cruel jungle where he had spent twenty of his twenty-two years? Only Tan tor, the elephant, could he call friend.

The others would hunt him or flee from him, as had been their way in the past. Not even the apes of his owm tribe would extend the hand of fellowship. Civilization had become distasteful to him. He longed for the old jungle life. Yet he looked with little relish upon the future he had mapped out lor himself.
