But Eva fs worried, too. for Brent is now avoiding her after having made ardent love l ° ToiV GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXVIII NOTHING exciting happened at supper. Eva clamped her lips together and opened them practically for the sole purpose of partaking of the creamed mushrooms that. Helen had prepared, while Shallimar and Bob danced to the music of a phonograph. Bob talked with his eyes, which Helen avoided looking at as much as possible. He had, she thought, a mean streak a mile wide to sneer at her, even if he didn’t put it into words. She herself tried to keep to conversation going by talking of the show at the Garden, but Shallimar kept interrupting to tell of the place where she and Bob had spent the evening. Once when Shallimar reached out a hand and laid it possessively on one of Bob s, Helen flinched. The gesture seemed somehow to tipset Bob. too. He looked across the table at Eva. “Let's go home, sis,” he said; “you look tired.” Eva Jumped to her feet without delay. ‘‘Do you mind if we run, Helen?” she begged. "I am tired.” “So am I,” Shallimar chimed in. “Bob, you simply exhaust me.” Very prettily she suppressed a yawn, though her eyes were wide awake. They seemed to be, to anyone who was interested in reading their expression, sharing a secret with Bob Helen appealed to Eva. “You promised to stay here tonight,” she Mid. Eva hesitated for half a moment. Would Bob go at once if she stayed, she wondered? For Helen's sake she wanted to break up the party. Anyone with any sense at all could see that Helen was oh the ragged edge, she thought, furious with her brother for having come at all. But Helen would not have asked her to stay unless she really needed a confidant. Eva knew. “I did promise Helen to stay all night,” she said to Bob. “but I think you’d better go home now. You know mother is worrying about our staying out.” “You know what's worrying her,” Bob retorted meaningfully, but was Instantly contrite when he saw an expression of acute mental suffering flood his sister’s face. “I'll go,” he added quickly, ‘‘if you 11 check me out. Miss Nellin.” 000 HELEN rose, with a touch of alacrity. Bob thought. But it was Shallimar who went to the door with him. out to his car, in fact, and kissed him good night. When she came in Helen and Eva were upstairs. Helen called down to her, so that she would not seem completely neglectful. But Shallimar did not come in to say good night. She paused for a moment In the doorway of Helen’s room and then went on to her own. Eva walked over and closed the Boor. ' Helen was getting out a pair of pajamas for her, but without much care in the choosing. Eva accepted them with no comment, though ordinarily she'd have exclaimed with admiration over their daintiness. The girls had little to say until they were in bed, though Eva yearned to offer comfort to the friend who had done so much for her. But Helep's silence was something to be respected.

The room was softly dark, fragrant with the perfume of an exquisite person's belongings. Eva thought of her own little room at home, but there was no envy in her heart—only an ache that made her kin to ail the suffering souls throughout the universe. Soltly as rose petals falling she felt Helen’s hand touch hers, take it and suddenly grip it convulsively. There was a stifled sob that echoed in Eva’s torment, followed by the words; “Eva, I love him so much.” Eva knew. She slipped an arm under Helen’s head and crooned wordlessly over the .sob-racked girl. Wien her strength was completely spent Helen lay for a while gasping brokenly. Then she told Bob’s sister of their quarrel and how Shallimar had stepped in just when she had sought hfm to tell him she was not going to marry any one else. “Bob doesn’t care anything about her; I know he doesn’t,” Eva declared. “But he meant what he said to me when he called me a rotter,” Helen answered wearily. “He treats me like dirt.” “He’s as unhappy as you are; I know he is,” Eva maintained. “Why, Helen, can't you see how thin he’s getting? He never eats and when he isn't working or studying, he’s out with Miss Morris, and it’s just to get his mind off you; I know vitch plunged over. Caraway’s nlace ball to the lyard mark, and Yuneit is.” “I wish I could believe you,” Helen replied. “Won't you tell me what you quarreled over in the first place, Helen?” Eva pleaded. “Another man—some one I was engaged to marry,” Helen told her. Eva gasped. “Well,” she said, “you certainly can keep a secret, Helen”

“I’ll tell you all about it some day,” Helen promised; “but I’d rather not talk of it any more now, Eva. It’s ended, but Bob didn’t have enough faith in me to see it through. Or maybe he just didn’t love me after all.” “Nonsense,” Eva excilimed. 000 HELEN answered with some spirit. “I’ll try to forget him too.” she said. “We’ll go abroad together, Eva; you and I. We will have a wonderful time and . . . and ” Again she was weeping in Eva’s arms. Eva held her in silence. The next morning Eva awoke shortly after Helen had fallen into a sleep of exhaustion. She drew herself gently away and got quietly out of bed. In a few minutes she was dressed and downstairs. A maid was cleaning the lower hall. Eva stopped and asked if there was anyone about who could drive her to her home. “The gardener is in the kitchen,” 'aving ’is breakfast, miss,” the servant answered. “’e can drive.” “Thank you,” Eva replied and hurried on to the kitchen. In the seed-pearl bag which Helen had given her she had a little silver. All there was she gave to the man to leave his breakfast and take her home without delay. She wanted to see Bob before he left the house. When she got home she rushed up to his room, with as little noise as possible, and rapped softly on his door. She was answered by silence. She rapped again, louder, then jerked the door open. Bob still was asleep. She went over to the bed and shook him. He opened his eyes and gazed at her dully. Like Helen, he had not slept until weariness had overcome him. But Eva did not give him time to wonder about her visit. “Bob,” she began in a tense, subdued voice, “tell me, you haven’t got yourself tangled up with Shallimar Morris, have you?” Bob sat up and frowned at her. "What the deuce is the matter with you?” he asked in reply. ’’Never mind me.” Eva insisted. “I want to know about you and Shallimar.” “Well, there’s nothing to know,” Bob grumbled. “You’re too lucky, after the way you’ve behaved to Helen,” Eva told him.

“Look here . . .” he began, but Eva stopped him. “Get up and dress,” she commanded, “and go right over to Bramblewood.” Her seriousness convinced Bob that the need of his presense at Helen’s home was urgent. “What’s wrong?” he demanded. “Helen wants you,” Eva told him. “She wants you, Bob, more than she wants anything * else in the world.” 000 808 uttered a short, harsh laugh. “So that’s it, is it? Just some of little Eva’s ravings!” “Don’t be a fool, please.” “No? I should hope not. One in the family is enough.” “Stop talking about me and get up and go.” “Listen, sis.” Bob's voice had become less harsh. “I have a hunch that one and the same person is back of all the misery in this household.”

“What do you mean?” Eva’s eyes were wide with dread. “Just this. Use your head, girl. Who could Helen have been engaged to but Leonard Brent?” For a few seconds after the mention of that name there was a dead silence. Then a cry, much like the whimper of a frightened animal that does not understand its pain, dug at the heart of the brother who had spoken the deliberately brutal w’ords. Eva crumbled into a heap on the side of the bed. Bob reached out and took her into his arms. “Poor little kid,” he whispered, “poor little thing.” She lay quiet, trying to understand the full meaning of what he had said to her. At a certain point it became unbearable. She lifted her head, and her eyes were like the hands of a drowning person reaching for life, so frantic, so wild, was their plea. “I don’t believe you! I don’t believe you!” she cried. “Hush, honey, hush,” Bob soothed her. “Mother will hear us. She's worried nearly to death about you as it is. Don’t let her know that you’ve fallen for that dirty dog.” But Eva would not be quieted, until Bob suggested that she go to Helen and ask her outright if Brent had not been her affianced husband. "No. no,” Eva choked. “I can't. I couldn’t bear it if it were true. And I wouldn’t want Helen to know.” "But can’t you see that it is?” Bob pressed. “You’re not denying that you and Brent . . . why hasn’t he been open about it. Eva? Why he come here? And who has Helen been seeing besides him? There isn’t anyone, is there?” “It might be someone she knew before she came to Yonkers,” Eva offered hopefully; “someone who is away.” (To Be Continued)

THE RETURN OF TARZAN

Tarzan placed a foot upon the carcass of his kill and, with his handsome face raised to the full moon, gave voice to the most frightful cry that ever had smitten upon the girl s ears. With a little gasp of fear, she shrank from him as the fiendish challenge died away. Had he perhaps gone mad?

Then Tarzan’s eyes rested upon the frightened girl and his kindly smile reassured her. “This thing you have done is unheard of,” she said. “And that cry!
