CHAP! KR TWENTY-NINE Dimples did not knock. He opened the door and walked in, followed by Howell. The room which was sparsely furnished, was crowded with people, some of whom Howell recognized as fellow' "extras.” They hailed him noisily, but, as Dimples had predicted, the party was too far gone to care who was who. There was no attempt at introductions. The man who presumably was the host wore a dressing gown over gaudy silk pajamas and offered drinks from a battered cocktail shaker. Howell, more or less accustomed by now to poor liquor, thought it the worst concoction he ever had tasted, but swallowed it hastily, hoping it would give him a little of the necessary "pep.” A blond, in draggled green chiffon. swaggered up to him. "What's your name, Handsome? Not that it matters." "If it doesn't, why worry about it?" She seemed delighted with his answer. "Atta baby! Why should we worry about it? Never worry about anything. That's my motto." Dimples had attached himself to a group sitting on the floor. There was so much noise t hat Howell had to shout to make himself heard. The girl in green suggested that they sit on the window sill and without further attempt at conversation. draped her thin arms about his neck. Her blue eyes were blurred and sodden, her young mouth disgustingly loose. Unable to feel the slightest attraction, Howell pushed her away. "You're about ten drinks ahead of me." he said, coolly. She stared at him for a moment then threw back her head and laughed. "Lissen, folks, we have with. us tonight. his royal highness, the prince of Wales . . No one paid any attention. And Howell, seeing Doris, the girl w'ith the "many pasts," rather rudely strode over to the bed on which she was sitting. "Hello, Doris! How are you?” "Not so good. Isn't this a stupid party?” He agreed that it was. "I've been here since 9 o’clock and not one really interesting thing has happened.” The girl in green approached and suggested that Howell have another drink. “You might at least try to catch up with me,” she said. a a a DORIS interested him more. Perhaps because of her apparent acceptance of the blows life had handed her. But the other girl would not leave them. She parked herself at Howells feet, leaning against his knees. Doris said good-naturedly. "Go away, Loraine. Can t you see we want to talk?” "Go ahead. I won’t bother you. I have to stick around and see that H. R. H. doesn't fall for any one else.” Whether he liked it or not Howell was forced to submit. Dimples was

holding a dark-haired beauty on his lap. She was past her first youth. Dimples consulted his watch from time to time. Howell wondered why they had come. Perhaps it was as he had said because they were so many drinks behind the rest of them, but the party was far from amusing. Even Dimples looked bored. People were lying around in halfdrunken attitudes. One girl drained | her glass as if she were thirsty, then tossed the glass upon the floor. No one paid any attention. The love-making and drinking continued until suddenly the door I opened and in came a little blond | girl, as cheaply pretty as a calendar picture. Howell had never seen her | before, but several of the men ran to her side, saluting her eagerly. “Come oh. Put a little pep into the party. Sandy." She posed like a butterfly, upon i her toes. “What'll I do?" "Dare yon to hula." someone I shouted. She refused. Every one flocked : about her. begging her to dance. • The host extended the cocktail .shaker and a glass. She took a drink. And then another. After ! the third, she screamed. "I won't dance. I'll be September Morn.” So quickly that scarcely realized what she was doing she had | slipped from her few' garments and | was standing in the dimly lighted room, unclothed. The air rang with shouts of apI proval and laughter. Sandy, her head thrown back, laughing drunk- | enly, made a shockingly beautiful picture. A tall, sober-looking youth, pushed his w ! ay towards her, waving ! a s’heet of hotel stationery. "I’m gonna draw her,” he shouted ‘Gonna sketch little September Morn.” e no THERE were cries of “Go ahead!" and banter and jeers as the crowd pressed around. Howell rose to his feet and opened the door. When he reached the stairway he found that Doris had accompanied him. "I’m fed up, too," she cried. "Let’s get out of it, shall we?" He followed her down the stairs and into the lobby, where a sharpfaced night clerk leered from behind the desk. Doris’ hair was tumbled. Part of the contents of the cocktail shaker trickled down the front of her flashily colored dress. She was not the kind of girl Howell cared to be seen with, but | fate is no respecter of persons as he was to discover that night. For. as he hurried through the lobby with his disreputable looking companion he came face to face with Sally Osbourne and her newspaper friend. "Sally?” he gasped. "What in the world are you doing here?” Tire newspaper man smiled and Sally looking through him as if she had never seen him before, laughed in his face. Howell, turned back to Doris who ! stood quietly waiting and hurried out the door. The sound of Sally's laughter pursued him. It stung like | a whip. . . . Doris glanced sympathetically at i his tortured face.

"Pretended not to know you, didn’t she? I'm sorry." "It doesn't matter,” he said, but his whole big body was trembling. She put her hand upon his arm. "Never mind. Nobody living is worth suffering for " He could not answer, but when she suggested that he need not take her home a sullen burning stubborness made him insist that he would. Doris might show the effect of her many steps down the primrose path, but she had au understanding which astonished him. IUSED to” care like that.” she told him on the street car ride to Hollywood. "But the first man I loved took my emotions and shattered them into bits. I used to tremble at the sound of his voice over the telephone. “I was so grateful to him for loving me that I kissed his hands. For years I saved everything be bad admired—dresses, slippers—an old leghorn hat." 11l spite of his own pain Howell winced at the passion in her voice. "Naturally he tired of it. But even after he threw me over I called and begged him to see me until he threatened to have me arrested. When I was convinced that there wasn't any hope I decided to kill myself. "I thought death could be no more cruel than my faithless lover. I powdered my nose. I rouged my mouth. I put on the dress I had worn the night ha told me that hr loved me—the slippers he had admired— r silk scarf he had given me on my birthday. Things 1 had been gloriously Jiappy in. . . . "Out in the street I hailed a ride. Stepped into a car with two strange men. A chance? Os course. But what did 1 care? I had a date with death. The two men would be cheated . . .” Howell, forgetting his own trouble, was listening eagerly. " 'Let's go to the beach,’ I suggested. ‘I want to dance.’ We raced through the dark. Me sitting in front with my two companions. At the beach w r e sped along. On one side the ocean beckoned. Peace w-as there. And rest! On the other side the bright lights of roadhouses—music and laughter. ‘Let me out,’ 1 cried, ‘I want to be alone.’ They laughed. 'Let me out. I'm going to kill myself. I'm through with all this.’ “ 'We’ll make you want to livty, the man at the wheel said, stepping on the gas. "The other tried to kiss me. I grabbed at the door. But he held my hands. I could not escape . . .” Howell stared at her in pity. She smiled back. "Oh, well.” she said, “I discovered there is more than one way of committing suicide.” (To Be Continued)

At Kaviri's village. Tarzan paused only long enough for food arid to arrange with the chief for several strong warriors to help man the canoe in place of those apes who had been done to death. He had decided to follow’ the strange white people of whom Kaviri spoke. So it was with a sigh of relief that the chief saw Tarzan's canoe, with its weird crew, disappear up the river.

THE BEASTS OF TARZAN

Most of the apes had finally learned the secret of the paddles. Three days the strange company continued farther and farther into the heart of Africa. Then Tarzan made a landing. He explained to Mugambi the thing he had in mind and bid the apes of Akut remain with the black man. “I will come back in a few days/’ he said, “after I find the very bad w’hite men.” Then he vanished into the trees.

Two days later Tarzan came upon a large village. From their wicked-looking chief he learned that RokofT’s party had passed up the river a week before. He decided to rest a few hours that he might be fresh and strong when he caught up with the white men. The sharpfiled teeth of this tribe denoted they were cannibals. But knowing no fear of man, beast or devil, the ape-man curled himself up and was soon asleep.

Scarcely had he done so than the chief called tw-Q of his swiftest warriors to whom he whispered a few’ instructions. A moment later these sleek, black bodies were racing along the river path, up-stream, toward the east. Three hour* later several canoes came silenly into view. Upon the bank stood the chief, his spear raised m a horizontal position above his head, a* though it were a signal to the boats.
