BEGIN HERE TODAY JUDITH CAMERON marrle.3 ARTHUR KNIGHT, executive of a New York publirhlnx house in which she Is employed. They sail for a six-week honrymoon In Bermuda. Knight is a widower with an 18-vesr-old daughter. TONY who Is in Europe, and a son, JUNIOR, 16. at •chool. A cablegram arrives announcing that Tonv Knight is coming home. Arthur tells Judith they must return at once to meet her. Since neither the girl nor bov knows of the father s remarriage. Judith is skeotical of her welcome. Arthur and Judith reach the Tong Island home Just one dav before Tony s boat docks. Next morning Knight meets daughter, but when they arrive at the house Tonv ignores Judith and rushes to her own room. l ate that afternoon Tony confronts her stepmother and exclaims: ••Yours going to get out!” Knight, entering the house to overhear this, compels Tonv to apologize. Tonv leaves for a round of night clubs with MICKEY MORTIMER, blase amuse-ment-seeker whom she met In Paris. As da-s paxa a state of armed neutrality exibir- between the girl and Judith. Junior arrives home for the holidays and treats Judith with cold aloof politeness. Christmas Eve Judith and Arthur trim a gorgeous tree but next morning neither of the children appears to receive their gifts. Christmas D*v proves dismal. Junior Is awev at. a flvlng field and Tony stays home only long enough to receive her father's most expensive gift. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER SIXTEEN (Continued.) They were lovely blossoms but they stood in the vase which Judith had spotted as an eyesore the first morning she entered the house. Evidently the housekeeper thought the vase beautiful. Judith decided to take matters into her own hands She found a large pottery pitcher in the dining room and substituted it for the vase. Then she slipped on her coat, placed the offending piece of china under her arm and went out of the house. Back of the garage was the best place the girl could think of to hide the object. Sh? made her wav down the walk, past the garage raid out to the alley l "J ". Then, concealed from view from the house, she raised the vase and dropped it to the ground. It fell in a dozen pieces. Judith stepped back, well satisfied, when suddenly a slim figure came hurtling from the garage. It was Junior Knight, his eyes blazing. He reached down, picked up the largest of the fragments and then turned on her. "How dare you?” he cried. “This was my mother's vase? How dare you break it? You want to take my mother’s place! You've made my father forget all about her and now you're breaking her things up! Oh. I hate you!” Still clutching the broken china Junior fled toward the house, leaving Judith speechless. CHAPTER SEVENTEEN TWO events of importance happened in the Knight household the second week folowing Christmas. One was the coming of Aunt Helena’s letter from Paris. Tbe other was the arrival of Andy C rai S- , „„ Junior left Tuesday morning. He departed for his second term of school and Judith was frank enough to admit a huge sigh of relief to see him go. Since the episode of the vase she had been unable to meet Junior's eyes squarely. She was ashamed, embarrassed and afraid to see what he must be thinking of her. To her credit it should be set down that Judith, who felt the brunt of the boy's anger, honored him for loyalty to his mother. She had not mentioned the incident to Junior's father and did not intend to. ■When Arthur Knight reached home shortly after 5 o'clock that evening he came in stamping and brushing off snow. "Where's Tony?” he demanded, in answer to Judith's greeting. "I think she’s dressing. Dear. She'll be down shortly.” -Tell Ttiny I want to see her at once!” Arthur's words were gruff and he snapped out the sentence exactly as though he were in his office and Judith a minor .member of the business force. *T'U send the maid up.” she told him. "Is there—l hope nothing has happened—— ?” "Nothing happened?” The man raised his brows. "Oh, I knew when I got that cable from Paris that Tony’d been up to deviltry. Letter came from Helena this afternoon. Told me the whole story.” Harriet was dispatched to inform Tony her father wished to see her immediately. Fifteen minutes later the girl appeared.

I She strolled into the living room I casually and stopped in the doorj way. one hand resting on her hip. ‘‘Did you want to see me, Dar- | ling?” she asked, resting languid, smiling eyes on Knight. "Yes, I did.” Tony had moved toward the reading table and was extracting a cigaret from a large silver box. "Put that cigaret down and come into the study!” her father con tinued sharply. ‘‘l've got a number of things to settle with you, young lady, and we're going to settle them now!” Tony hesitated. Then, smiling sweetly, she replaced the cigaret in the case and followed Knight into the small room which was known as his study. The door closed behind them. e a a JUDITH was worried. It was not often her husband used such a ! harsh tone with any one. She was ! worried, too, because she had no idea to what lengths the younger j girl’s foolhardiness might have led. Dinner was kept waiting that evening It was nearly 7 o’clock before ; the study door opened end Arthur | Knight and his daughter reappeared. They came out with Tony’s arm about her father, her dark head cuddling to his shoulder. Both were smiling and they looked as though the interview had been a love feast. Tony maintained the pose of filial devotion and sweetness throughout the evening meal. She remained with Judith and Arthur when coffee was served in the living room, hovering about her father, bringing him his pipe, the evening r.*wspaper, and placing an ash tray at convenient reach. Judith marveled at the change. At length Tony suggested hesitantly : "Father, darling. I just wish I could stay home this evening! I’d have managed to some way if only I'd known you and Judith would be here. "But Caroline Mitchel asked me S to make a fourth at bridge with her and her parents so I suppose I’ll i really have to go. I'm dreadfully | sorry!” •‘Mitchel?’' Knight asked. “Caroj >ine Mitchel? Oh. yes, I remember i —just a couple blocks down the street. Well, get in early. Tony, j Remember were through with all this whoopee-making and late hours." "Yes, father. I'll be home early.” Tony disappeared f- wraps and presently was back again. She was wearing the gray fur coat and a , bright red beret hid her hair. “Bye-bye,” she called gayily from the hallway. Then the door closed upon her. Judith hardly could resist asking questions, but she forced herself to : ivait. Arthur would tell her all about it. given his time. He did. Tony had been gone only i a few minutes before the man settled’back comfortably in his chair. ; removed his pipe from his lips, j olew the smoke swirling toward the i ceiling "You know. Tony’s really a sweet kid,” he.jcld his wife. “Crazy little rascal has been getting into scrapes all her life, but she never means anything by it. Now take this row with Helena ” Tony’s Aunt Helena had written her brother very pointedly, it seemed. She had said that the .vidth of the Atlantic ocean was none too broad as a barrier between iierself and the n.ece she had so recently been chaperoning. She had even implied that Tony’s escapades, culminating in an affair with a good-for-nothing named Mickey Mortimer, were the talk of the American colony and a disgrace on the family honor. 9 9 9 Aunt Helena had wound up with the declaration that not ■ lor love or money would she underi take responsibility for Tony Knight again. "But that’s all right,” Arthur pointed out to Judith. “Became I've persuaded the kid to stay right here all winter. Home's the place far her, you know, and now you're here, Judith, you can look after her. Oh, I know, It has to be dona

i tactfully, but you're a genius at tact.” j “But, Arthur, you know how she feels toward me ” Knight patted her arm. “That’s all right now. It's ail right! Tony and I talked everything over. She isn't going to make any trouble from now on. Tonv.: agreed to stop running around nights, stay at home ana behave herself." ‘‘Yes, sir,” he mused contentedly. “Guess I’ll have to get off a letter to Helena tomorrow and tell her a thing or two. Really I’m. sure she misrepresented affairs.” “Well,” Judith said uncertainly, “I hope you're right about it.” Arthur Knight looked such a picture of satisfaction just then the girl did not voice her misgivings. Judith was learning that Arthur, who had been such a perfect companion for idle days in Bermuda, was an entirely different sort of person in New York. He had accustomed himself to a routine of years’ standing and it was not easy to vary this. It was harder still to persuade Arthur Knight that his routine might need varying. The two years preceding, during which he had lived at the club, had made it easy for Knight to slip into the habit of spending longer and longer hours in his office. Often he would return evenings after dinner to frame memoranda for an important conference or study a file of correspondence. Evenings devoted to social pleasures had become rarer and rarer. Now that he had acquired an attractive wife, reopened his suburban home and could find there each evening a good dinner, congenial comps nionship and every comfort for three or four hours of quiet relaxation from the day’s work. Knight was less and less inclined to suggest the opera, theaters or a concert. Those things were all right when you got to them. Leaving an agreeable chair before your own fireplace to bottle through traffic for an hour and a half was too much of a strain. Judith, therefore, was finding her days, and evenings too, more and more confined to the four walls of her new home. There were times when this grew a bit irksome. 0 0 0 NEITHER the girl nor her bus'band knew at just what hour Tony Knight arrived home that evening she had promised to be “in early.” It was some time after they had retired. Tony slept late next morning as usual. She surprised Judith, though, by appearing at 11:30 in a knitted sport dress. It was unusual to see Tony at such an hour of the day and it was unusual also to see her about the house in anything but negligee garments. Furthermore the girl announced she would have breakfast downstairs instead of in her room. All she wished was coffee and fruit.

(To Be Continued)

As the echoes of the blood-curdling cry died away. Tarzan turned toward the prostrate Swede. His face was cold and cruel, and in the gray eyes the Swede read murder. “Where is the woman.” growled the ape-man. “What have you done with the child?” Like a bronze image—cold, hard and relentless—he stood over the helpless man, waiting to wring such information from him as he needed, and then to kill*

THE BEASTS OF TARZAN

The Swede tried to reply, but an arrow entirely through his chest caused the words to die in his throat. Presently the paroxysm passed and again the wounded mans lips faintly moved. Tarzan knelt down and again demanded: “Where are they?" The Swede pointed up the trail, “The Russian —he got them.” he whispered. “They catch us. I fight, but they wound me and leave me. He take your wife and kid.”

—By Martin

Tarzan smarted in amazement at the words: So the fugitives were his own wife and child! His fierce eyes blazed with the passion and vengeance that with difficulty he controlled. • Why were they with you? Tell me the worst, or I will teat you to pieces with my bare hands!” A look of pained surprise came over the Swede's face. "Why,” he whispered, "I did not hurt them.”

“I try to save them from dot Russian. Your wife vas kind to me on dot ship. I hear dot little baby cry sometimes. I got wife and child, too, in Sweden.” Something in the man’s tone convinced Tarzan he was telling the truth. Quickly his mood turned from hate to pity. “I am sorry,” he said very simply. He lifted the Swede tenderl” in his great arms, comforting turn as the wounded man breathed his task
