SYNOPSIS When Jacqueline Bordtni, famous movie star, returns to the little town n which she had grown up, Howell Sheffield Is filled with dissatisfaction. Howell’s father, an overworked countiw doctor, dies of pneumonia, leaving his family practically nothing. Howell, against the wishes of his mother, decides to leave medical schol and go to Hollywood. On the train, an older woman, who call* herself "Lamble” offers him her friendship. Howell gets a room in Hollywood and meets Bally Osbourne, who docs not think much of his ambition to be a movie actor. Sally warns hkm what Hollywood will do to him and they part coldly. Howell tries to get work but fails. Desperate ard almost penniless, Howell Is starving himself, but he will not give no. He turns for sympathy to Madalyn, a candy shop waitress, ana yields to her physical lure, afterward hating himself because he knows he does not love her. One day Lamble. In an expensive car. pick* him up. She promises to help him. Through her he gets a letter from Carleton Meade, producer, and lands a Job as an "extra.'' Oratfully, he plays up to Lamble, though he does not. care for her. Howell realizes that Sally Osbourne means more to him than any other girl he has met. but she Is contemptuous of his ambition to get Into the movies and this angers him. He takes Madalyn out to the beach for a Sunday and finds her as luring as ever. Howell learns that Sally secretly has been paying part of his room rent and angrily accuses her. Lambie Is more affectionate than ever and offers him money, which he very much needs. He accepts reluctantly, telling her he will pay her back. CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO (Continued) “Wait until you won’t miss it. I don't want it squeezed out of what you're making now." With some misgivings he took her advice and decided to wait, wondering if the time would ever come when he would be a whole hundred dollars ahead. He was determined not to accept any more money. Although Lambie had declared there were no strings attached to it, he found she expected him to repay her in numerous ways. She insisted that he dine with her at least two nights a week and always where there was dancing. They were becoming prominent at the various night clubs and Howell hotly resented the implication in other men’s glances. He told himself he was tired of prancing around with a woman old enough to be his mother, tired of trying to look interested. while Lambie leered like a wicked old idol, clung about his reck. He appreciated all she had done for him. He was not unmindful of the fact that if it had not been for her he undoubtedly never would have been allowed to register at Central Casting. But he wished there were some other way of expressing his gratitude. He began to pray that she would weary of his lack of finesse and put an end to the association. But this Lambie did not do. At first she had permitted him a good deal of freedom, but as the summer passed and his confidence in his ability to support himself increased, she showed a tendency to tighten the rope; insisting on one occasion that he break another engagement to take her to the Cotton Club. She had a way of making him most uncomfortable if he showed the slightest inclination to disobey. “Os course, Howell, realize I’m not as young as you are. If there is someone who interests you more " He thought it was unfair to put their relationship on such a basis after she had told him so positively that she did not expect his love. Time after time that summer he had reason to tell himself, uneasily, that Lamble was not observing the ‘ Stop’’ signals; but he did not realize to what extent she was disregarding them until the night of his birthday. Early in their acquaintance he had mentioned the fact that his birthday was Sept. 5. A week before that date Lambie remembered and asked him to dine with her. “Just the two of us. I’ll have dinner sent in." He would have preferrred taking her somewhere—anywhere—to a tete-a-tete in her apartment, but, fearful of offending, agreed with an enthusiasm which sounded forced. If only he had a hundred dollars to present to her on this occasion. It would be a good time to pay his debt and call It square—but he was spending every penny of his slender earnings. Oftan he was down to bis last

dollar before he received a call. Dimples and he borrowed from each other, and sometimes, Dimples forgot to pay it back. Paying Lambie what he owed her would have been impossible at this time. He was late for dining, having appeared in his official movie capacity all day, and he was in no mood for levity, being full of a sense of injustice. “What’s the matter, dear? You look as cross as a bear.” Howell sank into a chair and stared at the profusely decorated table with unseeing eyes. “I’m sick of this ‘cop’ business. I’m not getting anywhere. I’ve been in pictures for five months and never anything but a policeman.” “You must have patience, Howell.” “Patience! My gosh, I’ve been patient for so long my hair is turning gray. They’re getting so they can’t even imagine me as anything else. A director looks at me and sees a nice big cop. It’s all I’ll ever be.” “Lambie” sat down beside him and began to pat his hand. “Have you said anything to any of them?” “Sure I have, when they’ll take the time to listen to me.” “What do they say.” “Just laugh. I went over to Central Casting and they told me there isn’t a thing I can do about it. All they need me for is a cop. I can take it or leave it; and I can’t afford to leave it.” Thoughtfully "Lambie” continued to stroke his hand. “Don’t worry about it, dear. I’ll think of some way to help you. Tell you what I’ll do. I’ll make another appointment for you with Carleton Meade.” "He isn’t a director.” “My dear boy, don't think for a moment that he can’t do something for you if he would. You’ve had some experience now as an extra. We’ll see if something else can’t be done.” “Gee, ‘Lambie,’ do you suppose you can?” “Where there’s a will there's a way. And, remember, you’re supposed to be Granville Matthew’s nephew.” He was conscious of the old uneasiness over the deceit, but she was so optimistic he felt compelled to murmur, “That will be wonderful of you, ‘Lambie.’” He knew this was the way she liked him. Humbly grateful. Eating out of her hand. Well, if he continued to accept and be in need of her favors what else was there for him to be? He had to pay some way. “Lambie” made a great deal of ceremony over the little dinner, which she had ordered with due regard for Howell’s taste. When the dishes had been taken away she disappeared for a moment and returned with a huge candle-be-decked cake. “Happy birthday, Howell!” He was touched because it recalled memories of his childhood and the cakes his mother had made. She insisted that he cut it, but as the knife plunged through the icing it clicked against something hard. The center of the cake was hollow and had been filled with a little roll of something wrapped in waxed paper. Confused and embarrassed, he met her amused eyes. “It’s for you, dear boy. A little birthday gift.” As he lifted the heavy little package gold pieces trickled out upon the plate. “Oh, ‘Lambie,’ I can’t accept this!” “Why can’t you?” “Because I can’t. I’ve felt like a fool ever since I borrowed that hundred dollai-s.” “This is no loan, Howell.” “I know. I understand how you mean it—and it’s wonderful of you, but I can’t take it.” Her voice was harsh. “You are really refusing it?” “I can’t take any more money from you.” he repeated with a shamed flush dyeing his cheeks. “I shouldn't have accepted any in the first place.” The smouldering fire la her eyes

blazed. Her hand seized his with a compulsion which could no longer be denied. “You \ 0 take it, Howell. You have to taue it. The time has come when I have to know what kir and of a game you’re playing.” His honest, youthful eyes begged her to spare him one last illusion, but this “Lambie” was too old and too selfish to do. Very frankly she told him what she expected of him and a few moments later he left her apartment. The gold pieces were still scattered about the table. “Lambie” Jilted them in both hands, and flung them after his retreating figure. For the first time in her life she had found something which Matthew’s money had not been able to buy, (To Be Continued) HURLEY TOUTED FOR U. S.

The foremost of the charging warriors went down to quick death beneath the long, stout club of the ape-man. Now his lithe, sinewy figure was among them, striking right and left with mighty power and fury- Then over the frightful din, Tarzan lifted his voice in a series of sudden weird screams, a sound so terrible that the savages could not believe their ears.

THE BEASTS OF TARZAN

Yet with their own eyes they had seen this white man open his mouth to pour forth his awful cry. A moment they hesitated. There came a mighty crashing in the jungle behind them. As they looked in the direction of this new noise, there broke upon their startled vision a sight that may well have frozen the blood of braver men than these black warriors, ,

Leaping from the tangled vegetation of the Jungle's rim came a huge panther, with blazing eyes and bared fangs. And in his wake a score of ponderous, shaggy apes, lurched rapidly toward them. * Half erect upon their short bowed legs, their long arms reaching to the ground, the frightful horde advanced.

No wonder the Wagambi blacks scattered for their lives. Heavy spears were hurled and apes went down, never to rise Sheeta’s tearing claws ripped and tore at ulack hides. Akut s yellow tusks found the throat of more than one glistening savage. And Tarzan of the Apes waa her* there and everywhere, urging on his fierce allies, and himself taking a heavy toll with his keen knife.
