CHAPTER XL (Continued) Presently Mrs. Ennis came down to them- Her eyes were red and swollen, but there were signs of the calm that follows a storm in her half-smile and her general air. They felt assured. "Eva wants you, Helen,” the mother said and then added suddenly: “Oh you will help her, won’t you?” CHAPTER XLI HELEN went up the stairs on reluctant feet. She dreaded this talk with Eva, for there was nothing she could say to her that would carry hope to the unhappy girl. Brent was a scoundrel—that was all there was to the matter. But Helen knew that love can not be torn out of the heart by the roots. It must die a lingering death when it perishes. She found Eva quiet, lying with a dampened towel on her forehead. The odor of witchhazel came faintly to Helen's nostrils as she leaned over the bed and took one, of Eva’s hands. "Sit down—here,” Eva said and moved to make room for Helen beside her. ' How do you feel?” Helen asked. Eva closed her eyes and shook her head. “Poor mother,” she whispered. Then, louder: “Oh. Helen, how awful it was for her! I didn’t know what I was doing. In here with . . . with that stuff and mother pleading outside my door. I don’t know how I could have done such a thing.” “Thank God you didn’t really do It. dear,” Helen said. Eva’s eyes flashed open and Helen drew back from sight of the misery in their depths. "But I want to diel I didn’t want to live!” Eva cried. “None of us do. at times,” Helen answered, speaking very gently; •’but we don’t quit when we think of those who will suffer for our act. You see, Eva darling, what it would mean to your mother—and Bob— If you gave way to your despair.” "Yes. I know, I know,” Eva moaned; “but what am I to do?” "You don’t think any man is worth the heartbreak of your entire family, do you?” Helen pressed. “No, no, they're too good. They’ve always been too good to me.” “Then show them now that you appreciate their love. Try to forget Leonard Brent. He's no more worth your thought than a . . . than a viper, Eva.” a a a EVA looked at her despairingly. “That has never mattered very much to women, has It?” she asked. "I love him and I can’t believe that he didn't care at all for me. Oh I know I can't have him.” she wailed abruptly; "but don't tell me that it's all because he is a liar and a cheat. There must be some other reason." Helen's cheeks flushed uncomfortably as she answered that there might be another girl. Eta's expression grew accusing, though she did not mean it to. “Was it you?” she asked, and then added’ quickly: “Bob thought it was.” , Helen hesitated a long moment before answering. Eva's evidence of painful suspense brought the truth from her at last. "Yes.” she admitted. "I was engaged to him. Eva. But he did not love me. He can't love any one He isn’t capable of it. 'He's the most selfish— ” “Then ft was your money?” Eva interrupted. Helen regarded her in complete surprise. Strangely, she thought this had never occurred to her. Her money! Os course! "I think so,” she cried. "He would be just that vile.” “Perhaps." Eva said, "he needs a great deal of money. Helen.” She had found this explanation of his conduct less difficult to bear the thought that he cated more for another girl than he did for her. And her complete obsession with her passion for Brent was driving her to his defense. "Don't be a fool.” Helen retorted a bit Impatiently. "He has enough money. Only greed could make him want to marry for more—greed and a heart like a block of Ice.”

I “You seem to hate him,” Eva re- | marked, and the thought at the back of her mind was that Helen too must have suffered through Brent. "Not on my own account,” Helen hastened to assure her, sensing perhaps, what Eva was thinking. "But I shall always hate him for what he has done to you, Eva.” "Then you do not love him?” Eva’s voice was filled with profound relief. Helen said no in unmistakably negative accents. Eva grasped her hands and murmured an expression of thankfulness. "Can’t we talk about something, else?” Helen urged. "Wouldn’t you like to hear about Bob and me, Eva?" - | She had not intended to bring J her newly recovered happiness to j Eva’s attention at this time, but ’ suddenly she was sickened of speak- \ ing of Brent. She wanted to brush ! him aside, put him out of her own j life and Eva’s, too. "Have you made up?” Eva asked, heartening a little over the possibility of happ ness coming to her dearly beloved brother. "Made up?” Helen echoed. “We’ve made up so tight that nothing can come between us again.” "I’m glad,” Eva said simply. nan T TELEN leaned over and kissed * her, drawn by the wistful smile that hovered on her quivering lips. "You must let yourself be happy too, dear,” she said. "Think of your music now, and some day a real love will come to you. That sounds like empty comfort, I know, but it’s true, if only you can believe it.” must see Leonard again,” Eva shocked her by declaring. "Oh, no!” "I must.” Helen sat stiffly upright. "Why?” she demanded, but Eva had no answer that she cared, or dared, to give. "To tell him you're through with him?” Helen suggested hopefully. Stiir Eva did not answer. Helen was seized with a thought that stirred her to sharp utterance. "Surely you are not going to throw yourself at him?” she cried. "Why, Eva dear, don’t you realize that if he’d wanted you . . .” "You ... there was you,” Eva said very low "Eva, please,” Helen begged. "Don’t you see, dear, that if it isn’t me it will be someone else who can bring him what he wants?” “He loves me, I know he loves me.” Eva cried wildly. "He couldn't have lied so terribly to me.” Helen lost a great deal of her patience. "Now see here,” she exclaimed. “you aren’t going to have anything more to do with Leonard Brent. Bob will kill him. He has made a fool of you Eva, but that was because you are sweet and good. He couldn't have done it to a harder-hearted girl. That’s the bitterness of it. If you’d been thinking only of yourself you couldn’t have become interested in a man like Leonard—you’d have Judged him by yourself. “As it is, you see good in even the worst people. That may be because you are so clever, so talented, dear, that you can't recognize evil—perhaps it is genius. But, oh, Eva. please, whatever it is, Bob and I are going to help you now.” "I must see him.” Eva persisted. "No,” Helen protested. “Let me see him for you. I will tell him whatever you wish me to say. Bob will be furious if you go to him.” Eva remained set in her determination. "Don’t tell Bob,” she pleaded. "It would only cause trouble, and I’m going to see Leonard whatever happens. I must give him a chance to explain.” "Eva,” Helen said soberly, "why must you be like this? You were ready to give up your life—wasn't it because you knew Brent has deceived you? Nothing has changed What can you hope for now?” m m m EVA sat up higher on her pillows. "I will tell you,” she conceded. “I couldn't bear the thought that he was go;ng to marry you, Hfelen- l

knew I should hate you, in spite of all that you have done for me. I didn’t waflt to live, hating you and without Leonard’s love.” "Oh, my dear.” Helen buried her face in her hands, but she could not hold back her sobs. "If I see him, and tell him that I know about his engagement to you and that you are really going to marry Bob,” Eva said brejithelessly, “he may ... he may ...” Helen lifted her head. The expression of her eyes stopped Eva from further words. "Would you marry him after all this?” she asked scornfullyEva turned away. A wave of helplessness swept over Helen. "I’m afraid,” she said, “that you must find out for yourself how contemptible, how despicable, Leonard is.” She got up to go. Eva did not attempt to detain her. “Please send mama to me,” she said and Helen nodded in silent assent. Back with Bob she was profoundly affected by the strain of knowing that Eva might yet bring serious trouble upon herself and them. “I’m tired,” she said when Mrs. Ennis had gone upstairs. "Do you mind letting me go now, Bob? Eva doesn’t need me, and I’ve something to do at home.” "My darling, I’ll always mind letting you go,” Bob smiled at her. “But I’ll have to leave, too. I’m no playboy, you know.” His eyes had ceased to smile with his lips. Helen knew by their seriousness that he meant to convey the thought to her that he would not depend upon her money for a living. She lifted her lips for his kiss, thankful that he did not make ail issue of that point at this particular moment. She wanted to forget herself and him and think only of Eva —to try to find a way to help her. She drove back home alone, aod on the way she reached a decision in regard to Leonard Brent. If everything else failed and she could no‘ induce Eva to go away—to Its j to study, or to travel for a while wherever her fancy took her —she would buy Brent off. Her lips curled in disdain as she rejected the thought that he might prefer Eva to money. At home she went straight to the telephone and called his apartment. His Japanese servant answered and she said, peremptorily, that she must speak to Mr. Brent. He did not keep her waiting long. “I want to see you about something very important,” she said. “At once. Will you come up to Bramblewood?” "As soon as possible,” Brent assured her, and hung up. “Well,” he mused as he dressed. "I think we’ve come to the showdown.” (To Be Continued)

THE RETURN OF TARZAN

Before Tarzan’s absence was discovered, h-s stateroom had been searched. Again the French documents were in Rokoff’s possession. For that villain, disguised as a "Monsieur Thuran,” was also aboard the liner. Nov.', with Tarzan thrown to the flsk and the papers his, Rokoff was indeed happy.

And Jane, as she recognized in that print of the drowned man her own Tarzan of the Apes, fainted. For days she kept to her room. To her it was unbelievable that his brave heart should have ceased to beat. Now, With hope gone, she could no longer refuse the hand and titles of Clayton. ,
