THIS HAS HAPPENED BZLEN PAGE feels Indebted to and In love with her euardlan. LEONARD BRENT. The latter chanaes his plans for her future after meeting a dvlng beggar. NELL IN. Soon after, Brent telle Helen that she Is heiress or a millionaire. CYRIL K. CUNNINOHAM. He takes her to Cunningham and oners proofs which the lonelv old man accepts as h* had been searching for the girl. Among Helen's new friends are EVA ENNIS and her brother ROBERT, who falls In love with her. Brent becomes Jealous of Bob and plots to win Helen ouirklv. especially since he has found another locket like the one he had taken from Nrilln to prove Helen the hlress. Hrsnne that a sudden shock would likelv kill the old man. Brent slvlv administers tnc shock, and the servants find Cunningham dead. Then, acting as sympathizer and appealing to her lovaltv. Brent secures Helen's promise to marrv him. Later. Helen and Bob discover their true love for each other, but she tells him it Is hopeless, for she is engaged. She seeks Brent to ask release and surprises him making love to another woman. This makes it easier for Helen, but Brent refuses, saving he has devoted h:s i • to her and that other women ar* mere flirtations. Meanwhile, a school friend of Helen's. SHALLIMAR MORRIB arrives for a visit and meets Bob. who Is angrv over Helen's evasion and lack of explanation. Shahimar challenges him to a flirtation, and Is surprised when he says. "I'd like to fall in love with you—to forget someone else." NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXIV (Continued) Their dance was at an end. When they were seated at their table again he said, with a directness that startled Shalllmar, and that was by no means an easy thing to do: "I'd like to fall in love with you.” Then he paused. "And?” Shallimar Invited. "I don't think you're worth It. with your easy talk of divorce and alimony, but I don't think it ever would come to marriage. I’m too poor for that.” Shallimar's face suddenly became a blank. She sat back and stared at him. "Just what.” she asked, "are you proposing to me?” CHAPTER XXXV “Tk TOTHING," Bob answered unii emotionally. “I’m merely tell- . ing you that I should like to fall In love with you. It would relieve me of a great unhappiness. I „ Imagine.” "Well” Shallimer's enthusiasm began to return —“can't you do it? Other men have.” "I mean to try.” Bob told her, "after I've made you understand that it won't mean a thing to you —unless . . "Please go on. This is most Intriguing.” “Unless you should happen to fall in love with me,” Bob finished calmly. Shallimar laughed. "I’m half In love with you already.” she declared. "And I’ll do all in my power to make you care twice as much for me, provided that the same reservation goes for you in that case as you’re putting up to me If I fall in love with you.” “You mean I'm not to take your love seriously, I suppose.” "Precisely; just as I am not to expect anything of yours.” "I don't think I'd want to marry you, however much I might be in love with you.” Bob confessed. "Well, that's a nastly crack.” Shallimar complained. “Entirely your own fault." Bob retorted. “I'm fed up on ultra modern girls who take everything in life for granted." “I see. Some girl is responsible for the great unhappiness you speak of." “Yes." “And you want me to help you forget her." •'Precisely.” Shallimar looked at him appraisingly before answering. Finally. in a drawl, she said to him: "I wish I could afford to be serious with you. Bob Ennis." • Fgll In love with me and marry me?” Bob asked. “Just that. But I'm too poor for it." "Marriage will never mean anything to you until you've had a lot of experience with life,” Bob warned her. She sighed, albeit placidly, in agreement. “I'm afraid not. And so I think IH accept your lefthanded invitation to play at love and see what comes of it.* • • • r)R a moment silence hung between them. Then: “Are you loyal?" Bob asked her abruptly. Os* pondered on the question a bit. “I don't know,” she said. "Wfey?”

.* s >

“Because the girl I'd like to forget is your friend,” Bob explained. “Os course; I knew that,” she replied serenely, “but loyalty is such a complex commodity. One owes a bit of it to oneself, no?” “Then you have no scruples about it? Not even the fact that you are her guest?” “Dear boy”—she delighted in the use of these words that made her appear so much more sophisticated and knowing than the young man she addressed them to—“I shall do nothing underhand. That, I think, covers the ethics in the case.” “Then let’s dance,” Bob requested. Shallimar rose slowly to her feet. Their eyes met, and she understood that he was acknowledging her strength. In his arms, she did not disappoint him. He willingly gave reins to his imagination and tried to become aroused to a tender feeling for her. But there was no flicker of the grand passion. Beautiful she was, and a satisfying dance partner, but he had to admit that he could not plunge into even and infatuation for her. “But it might come,” he persisted in thinking. And all the while not believing himself. Shallimar did her best. Bob was gallant enough to hide from her his real feeling, which was fast becoming one of mild revulsion. He was doggedly determined to go through with the thing. If one could get out of love on the rebound he meant to rebound. “And keep on rebounding even if it hurts.” Suddenly, from Shallimar: “Have you thought,” she asked, “that one hopeless love is as painful as another? Have you considered that. Bob?” “I can't ever love anyone else so much as I love Helen," he answered, and Shallimar felt that he spoke a truth in spite of the generally fatuous character of the remark. “There's this, too,” she took up a little later; “we can’t get far with this thing unless Helen invites me to remain at Bramblewood. I don’t mind giving up the trip to Canada. Was going up to see my Aunt Kate, but she has neuritis and doesn't really want me anyhow.” “I believe you’re clever enough to manage to wiggle an invitation out of Helen.” Shallimar flared a bit at that. “Do you realize that you’re asking a lot from me?” she snapped. “You started it Bob reminded her. "So I did.” she was fair enough to admit. "Well, shall we say we're engaged? Then I can tell Helen it would break my heart to leave.” B B B SHE was laughing at him but Bob souirmed just the same, “lot’s not lie.” he evaded. "But you will give yourself every chance to learn to love me. won't you?” she pressed. “You will spend every free moment you have with me?” "Yes.” To keep his promise, they stayed until the dancing was over for the night at the clubhouse, and drove home through the morning mist that hung over the banks of the river like a cloud “I wonder if I can get in without waking the house?’ Shallimar mused when her eyes chanced to fall upon the small clock in the car. “Don't try,” Bob said shortly. “Oh. so you want Helen to know what time I get in?” Bob was ashamed at once of his pettiness. Driving in Helen’s car had wakened bitter feelings in him. “I really don't think she ought to be disturbed again tonight," Shallimar remarked carelessly. “Again?” Bob questioned. ‘ Something happened before dinner that upset her. She wouldn't tell me what it was. A telephone call. For a while she was deeply agitated, then she seemed to put it out of her mind and when your sister arrived she was as gay as ever. Helen isn’t exactly exuberant, y’ know." Bob made no reply. Undoubtedly, he was thinking, Helen had heard form the man she had promised to marry. But no matter what had passed between them he was certain Helen did not love him suffi-

ciently to put him before everyone else In the world. If the other man wanted her she must marry him! Rot! Just an excuse for letting him down. “What will I do with the car?” he asked Shallimar when they reached Rarnblewood. “Drive around to the garage,” she directed,” and if we can’t get in we'll leave it in the driveway. Nice little bus, isn’t it? Helen is one lucky girl.” BUB WHEN they stopped before the garage she insisted that Bob kiss her. “You won't know how much it will help you to love me unless you do it,” she teased. And Bob kissed her on her chin. “Don’t be funny,” she cried, and pulled his face back to smother it in kisses. “For the Lord’s sake,” Bob pleaded when he could get his breath. "What do you think you’re doing?” "Making you love me, boy. Weren’t you ever kissed like that before?" "Never. Is it a common practice in your life?” Shallimar confessed reluctantly. “I just had an impulse. Maybe I’m going to fall hard for you after all. How do you feel?” “You haven’t worked any magic on me so far," Bob told her. and meant to be discouraging. He was beginning to see that he had let himself in for something with Shallimar. “How in the world will you get home?” she asked him when he at last succeeded in getting out of the car. “Oh. I’ll hop a milk wagon or walk to the nearest telephone and call a taxi.” "Why not come inside and phone?” “And wake up everybody?” “What of it? You said you didn’t care. Besides, we ought to send someone out to put the car away.” Bob’s sense of responsibility about the car caused him to do as Shallimar suggested. And a girl upstairs, in a soft yellow silk sleeping ensemble, heard them enter the library below, heard Shalimar's smothered laughter and the indistinct reply of her companion. She did not wonder what time It was. Having been awake all night she could have guessed close to the hour. A clock somewhere in the house struck the hour of 5. Could it really be so late? Helen went to her half-opened door and listened. There were no distinguishing sounds. She stepped out into the hall, leaned over the banister. She had ordered the door left unlocked for Shallimar, thinking that she would come in before the maid, who had been told to wait up for her a reasonable length of time, should go to bed.

THE RETURN OF TARZAN

“If we bring him alive, the reward is to be greater.” exclaimed their leader, knocking aside the deadly gun. So they bound Tarzan and rode away with their unconscious captive. Hours later, when he regained his senses, he found himself securely tied, lying on a piece of carpet, alone in a dirty goatskin tent.

He could not move his mighty muscles. Before long a man approached. Tarzan recognized the evil features of Rokoff, the Russian. •‘Ah. m’sieur. this is a pleasure,” he sneered, kicking the ape-man repeatedly. Tarzan made no reply, and at last the villain went out.

For a long time silence reigned. Then Tarzan’s trained ear caught the sound of a stealthily moving body. Nearer it came. Turning his head, he saw the tent flap rise, forced up by the head and shoulders of something looking all black in the semi-darkness. Closing his eyes, he waited for the mighty paw to falL
