CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE WITH what high hopes he took the ring from an old box of foliar buttons. At 10 o'clock he was waiting on Mrs. Benton's front porch. Contrary to her usual custom Sally was late. Her eyes were shadowed with fatigue. "I didn’t get much sleep,” she admitted. Instinctively they turned in the same direction they had walked before. Sally spoke disconnectedly of her work on the paper. It seemed now quite the most important thing in her life, the only thing that really mattered. When they reached the deserted driveway on Alta Vista How r ell suggested that they go inside. "I've something to say to you, Sally. And I'd like to say it in there.” Rather nervously, she consented. “It’s cold. We can't stay long.” •‘lt won’t take me long,” he said, simply. "Sally, I love you. I can't go on. . . "Howell, please, for both our sakes, don't start this discussion again.” “Why won t you see me” he demanded. “Is it because I'm only an extra?” She stared at him with obvious distress. "What does it matter—why?” “It matters more than anything in the world. I know I’m in no position to ask you to marry me, but if you really loved me you’d be willing to wait.” Her gloved hands fluttered into his like frightened birds. “Darling, do love me?” “Supposing I do?” “Then don't be so stubborn. Even if it meant waiting for several years, wouldn’t it be worth it?” "If you mean waiting for you to make a success in motion pictures—no! Because eventually Id lose my respect for you.” “I've changed, dear. I haven't been with any of the people I used to see since that night.” “I w-asn’t referring to that particularly . . ." "What is it, then? Can't you have r little faith in me? At least give me a fighting chance ...” "You’re making it very hard for me.” Pleadingly.' he said, "Sally, please!”—and taking the ring from his pocket laid it, gently, in her hand. She started, then with a flash of emotion, ripped the glove from her left hand, disclosing a small, wellcut solitaire. "This seems to be my lucky Christmas.” she said in a voice he scarcely recognized. "Oh,” he gasped, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know." “I just got it last night,” she explained. nun HER eyes were bright and hard. Her lips a defiant., scarlet line. “You understand now why I couldn’t poosibly ...” Oh, yes. he could understand everything now He put the ring back into his pocket. "We may as well go. I guess.” Head In the air she walked beside him. Neither spoke until they

had reached Hollywood and Highlands. “The only thing I don’t understand is why you told me that you loved me,” Howell declared, bitterly. “I did think I was in love with you for a while, but I know now 1 was mistaken. It was my own idea of you that I was loving.” i “I see.” | “You’re really quite different from i the person you seemed to be when i you arived in Hollywood. I coudn’t th'nk of caring for any one with no more judgment than you are showI ing.” The color drained from his face. “You needn’t be insulting about | it.” “Since you asked me I may as well be frank. I tried to avoid this discussion. It was you who brought it up.” Her eyes flashed as only Sally’s could. “Do you think I’m silly enough to go on loving someone who will ! starve himself to boa motion picture extra . . . Who continues to do so after he’s been shown in every possible way that by training, character and temperament, he's nothing but a misfit . . .” “How do you know I am? If they’d give me a chance . . .” “Why do you want to get into a profession which is already so overcrowded that even those fitted for it can scarcely make a living? Why not stay with your own career?” “If you had the slightest affection or understanding you’d know why,” he told her desperately. “If you were the girl I hoped you were you’d love me no matter what I did.” “I refuse to let myself love a man I can't respect. Take t.he movies for your sweetheart and see what you'll get for it in the end . . .” a a a T\HEY were striking at each other violently. Causing wounds neither j of them would ever forget. "If you had had a little patience I might have proved what I could do.” “You’ve been an extra for almost a year and how much progress have ! you made?” “If you’d have waited .. ” "I wouldn’t wait that long for any man living,” Sally cried. Tears were rolling down her cheeks. He couldn't understand why she should cry about it, but Sally was peculiar. He never had been able to understand half the things she did. They stood on Mrs. Benton’s porch and she mopped at her eyes and said, furiously, “Go on, be a motion picture star if you can, but don’t ask me to wait while you do it . . .” “I won’t ask anything of you again.” He opened the door and she ran inside to be confronted by Mrs. Ben- ! ton. “Oh. Miss Sally, there is a gentlei man calling you.” j Howell, starting after her, heard I her say, “Good morning, Dick, j Merry Christmas!” Blindly, he returned to the room over the garage and did not leave : it again all day.

The next morning he,was working for the second time in Jacqueline Bordoni's picture. Raymond was not present, and as she was resting in the chair, with tne little gold star, she smiled and beckoned to him. “I’m going to ask you to do something for me,” she said. (To Be Continued) D.

Near Tarzan's prison, women were now preparing many little fires and fetching cooking pots filled with water. For a great feast was to be celebrated before the night was many hours older. Already a group of black warriors, their bodies smeared with white and blue paint, stood about a stout stake in the center of the circling fires, waiting in savage anticipation for the coming orgy. , _ . *

THE BEASTS OF TARZAN

Tarzan of the Apes was to be the victim of their bestial appetites. And such an end! The most unthinkably horrid death that it is given a white man to die. He strained his mighty muscles at the bonds that pinioned him, but even his giant brawn could not budge them. Well he knew the fate that was to be his end. He writhed in agony at the thought that he had been trapped like a silly, dumb creature.

—By Martin

Tarzan was glad that Jane would never know his ghastly fate. He believed Rokoff’s threats concerning her were merely blustering lies; that in reality his wife was safe in London. “But my little son!” he groaned. “I, Tarzan of the Apes, mighty lord of the jungle, the only one in all the world fitted to find and save him from the horrors Rokoff has planned. With me will perish the boy’s last chant* lot mk ifch" _ „

By Edgar Rice Burroughs

Through the thick, tangled jungle, for two nights, a giant, lithe creature pursued its lonely way. Half famished for food, it had halted only once to make a kill. In utter silence, under the equatorial moon, it kept steadfastly on its way, and now had come to the palisades that surrounded a large native village. Here the beast sniffed for a moment and then turning its head witJSk
