Dicky Enderbv is permitted to pull the switch Vhlch puts the powerful new light into operation. NOW GO ON WITH THE STOR* CHAPTER SEVENTEEN AS Wilber lifted Dicky down from the bench, the boy's foot struck a can of water standing near its edge. It overturned, and the water splashed on the floor, drenching Wilbur’s shoes. “It’s all right.” Wilbur replied to the lad's shuttered apology. “My fault; I shouldn't have had the water there.” Replacing the can on bench, he turned to Enderby and Westervelt and said: “At our conference in my office today I explained to you the chemical. mechanical and electrical properties of this device. This is merely a visual demonstration, but what I want to impress upon you is the high illumination produced in comparison with low current consumption. In that, coupled with low manfacturing cost, lies its commercial value. “In this test, ordinary house current was used. Peculiarly, it has been shown by experiment, that higher power does not produce correspondingly greater illumination." He flipped off the switch quickly and threw on another. “That switch throws 2,000 volts through a cylinder.” he continued. “By the way. that is almost exactly the voltage used in electrocutions at the penitentiary. And that is why I am careful to keep this room locked.” Dicky’s eyes almost popped from his head. "Gee! If you stuck a rat in there, it'd kill him quick, wouldn’t it?” he cried. “I’d like to try it!” “No chance. Dickey." laughed Wff • ber, “this isn’t one of Rube Goldberg's patent rattraps.” He turned or. the house lamps and threw off the switch on the bench panel. "Another thing,” Wilber continued. lifting th- cylinder from the holding clips and extending it to Enderby, “observe that it retains very little heat, “A white light of great intensity With a minimum of heat. That is due to the chemical composition of the tube and the flow of air around and inside it. In commercial use the cylinder, for safety's sake, would have to be enclosed in glass, but there must be perforations to permit free flow of air.” Enderby. who had been examining the cylinder curiously, laid it on the bench. Wilber picked it up and replaced it between the clips. At that moment Sheila appeared in the doorway. “Are you men going to stay here all night?” she called. “We’ve got the radio going and there's a perfectly divine dance band playing over WLW. Joe’s doing his best, but he can't dance with all of us at the same time.” "Coming at once. Sheila, dear.’ replied Wilber, leading the way back to the living room with Dickey close on his heels. Andy, who had been bored and restless during Wilbers demonstration, lingered until the others had disappeared. Then whipping a flask from his pocket, he took a long drink. Wilber was an uncomprising “dry" and no liquor ever was served in his home. Andy had been tormnted by thirst. This was the first opportunity to relieve it. After a few moments, he followed the others leaving the door ajar and the lights burning.

, “I wonder, Miss Wilber,” said Enderby in the living-room, “if you could find some place to put Dicky for a nap. It’s away past his usual bedtime, and I promised his mother | that I would not break his routine { any more than is necessary. “Why. certainly,” said Sheila, I "father's bedroom will be just the olare. It’s across the hall from the laboratory. Papa insists on benig close to his work. He sometimes gets up in the night to mess around in that blessed laboratory.” Dicky, protesting vehemently, was led away. It was a merry, carefiee party that danced in the living-room and listened to the music of the radio orchestra. Wilbur even persuaded the diffident Mrs. Rogers to waltz with him when the orchestra suddenly switched from jazz to the “Merry Widow,” an old favorite. To each of them the familiar melody brought tender memories, but each found in the other an antidote to that feeling of loneliness and frustration which remembrance of youth is sure to awaken. The dancing usually bored him, but Sheridan was far from bored when he held Edna in his arms and glided through the steps of a slow foxtrot. He experienced a sensation of buoyancy and exhilaration. In a vague sort of way, he was puzzled, and despite his absorbed j interest in his lovely dance partner, I one lobe of his brain was probing ■ his own reactions to this delightful ; occasion. i But tonight, his analytical mind \ was not functioning in its accusj tomed manner; emotion yields little of the truth to self-analysis. Edna was giving him the “onceover’ from her modern girl viewpoint. Here was an alarmingly interesting specimen of the male tribe, well worth examination. They sat out several dances in the cool darkness of the veranda which adjoined the living room. “Where have you been all my life that I’ve missed knowing you?” Sheridan asked. “That's an old line,” Edna replied. “I expected more originality from you. Try again.” "I’m an amateur; I’m not used to making pretty speeches to beautiful ladies,” he said banteringly. Won't you overlook my pristine uncouth, methods and acknowledge the sincerity of my stumbling tongue?” “Not so bad, not so bad,” said Ed- ■ na judicially, “with proper encouragement and persistent practice, you might pass muster.” “Ah. that’s just it,” he said, rising quickly to the bait, “I need both encouragement and practice. I yearn to learn, and no price would be too j high to pay. Will you be my tutor?” “To toot or not to toot, that Is the question, according to Omelet!” She exclaimed. “Asa fitting recompense. fair sir. what dost offer?” “The whole-hearted devotion of a knight of old. coupled with the joyous, unrestricted appreciation of | a knight of now; a gift to you of understanding companionship, a share in my world of dreams, a j glorious ride in a chariot of imagination down a bewitching path paved ; with moonbeams." “What ho. varlet! Bring forth the chariot!” she cried, entering fully into the spirit of his semi-serious funmaking. “I fain would ride me the moonbeams.” She laughed joyously. “Really, Mr. Sheridan, you need no tutor. I acknowledge my error. You have taken a post-graduate I course. I fear to offer you encouragement: there's no telling where It might lead. “If Butler university ever establishes a chair of advanced amatory declamation for the enticement of unwary women, I shall be delighted to recommend you for the professorship.” Relapsing into the vernacular. she continued. "Believe me, you're no slouch; you Ye a wow!” “Now look what I’ve done!" said Sheridan mournfully, “I permit myself to dream and lovely reality spurns me.” “Dreams sometimes come true,” said Edna demurely. I Sheila appeared in the doorway ' and called to them before Sheridan ! could reply. “Oh there you are!"she exclaimed. “I'm going to put up a sign on this porch. It will read: ‘Petting Proj hibited. Except by Permission of the j Owner.’ Edna, your mother thinks you have been kidnaped.”

—Bv Wiliams

As the laughing trio passed through the door, Edna whispered to Sheridan: “I’ve decided to accept the tutorship: don’t forget to bring the chariot.” tt an LITTLE DICKY ENDERBY wandered into the living room, rubbing his eyes. “Papa.” he said, “don’t you buy Mr. Wilber’s funny light; it’s no good.” Wilber laughed. “He’s angry because we put him to bed,” he said, caressing the boy’s tousled head with his hand. Enderby glanced at his watch. “Great Scott!” he said to Westervelt, “do you know what time it is? We’ll miss our train, and I’ve got to be in New York tomorrow night.” “You have plenty of time,” Wilber told them, “I ordered a taxi for you. It ought to be here in a few minutes.” Enderby and Westervelt. during their morning conference with Wilber, had agreed on the terms of the contract for exploitation of his invention. contingent upon its successful operation under the Demorel company’s tests and they had planned to leave for New York on the midnight train. Their departure was the signal for the party to break up. Andy took Mrs. Rogers and Edna home in his car and Smedley and Sheridan escorted Sheila's three other girl guests to their nearby homes. Sheila and Wilber were seated on the veran’da when the two men returned. They had conversed quietly for a few moments when Wilber suddenly exclaimed: “Do you know, Sheila, I believe I forgot to lock the door of the laboratory. I must go ” He was interrupted by a piercing scream from the interior of the house and the sound of running footsteps. Another scream met them as they crowded through the door. None oi them saw or heard a man who ran around the house, scuttled across the lawn and vanished in the shadows of the trees. The cook, Clara, ran into the liv-ing-room as they entered. Her eyes were bulging with terror and her arms were waving wildly. “Lena!” she cried, “Oh, my God, Lena! She’s dead!” (To Be Continued) METEORS TO BE SEEN Shower of Falling Stars Will Be Visible Early Friday. Bv J'nited Press WASHINGTON. Nov. 13. —The United States naval observatory announced today the Leonid meteors would be visible in the eastern sky, 30 degrees above the horizon, between midnight Thursday and 3 a. in. Friday (eastern standard time). The shooting stars will emanate from the constellation of Leo. from which their name was derived.

THE RETURN OF TARZAN

Then Tarzen arose, shaking himself like a lion, and placed his foot upon the prostrate body of his antagonist. He raised his voice in the wild cry of victory of the apes. The mad priest of the sun-worshipers lay unconsicous. La tried to escape, but with a quick leap the ape-man was by her side.

“What do you intend to do with me?” she asked. “Nothing,” he replied, “but you can lead me out of this place to freedom.” “I am the High Priestess of the Sun Temple,” she said. "But you have been chosen by the Flaming God as his own. Not even my power can save you if the people find you. But you saved my life. I will try to save yours.

"Though it makes me false to my god, I will hide you. come! For if we are found together we shall both be killed.” Tarzan protested, saying she must not take the risk.

She led him through long corridors of gloom. At last they came to a small chamber into which a little light filtered. “None will think of searching for you here,” she said. “They would not dare! I will return after it is dark.” She was gone. And Tarzan of the Apes was left alone in the Chamber of the Dead, beneath the long-dead city of Opar.
