REGtN WORK TODAY •TUDrTH CAMERON, typist, in a MrYork publishing house, marries ARTHUR KNIOHT. her employer Knight is a widower with a daughter. TONY, and a inn. JUNIOR. The girl Ignores her stepmother. Later •he tells Judith she must leave the house. Knight overhears and compels Tony to apologize. The girl spends much of her time with MICKEY MORTIMER, blase amusement •eeker. whom she met in Paris He Is separated from his wife and deep in a flirtation with Tony. As days pass a state of armed neutrality exists between Tony and Judith. ANDY CRAIG, a young man Knight has helped through college, calls on Tonv. He has been in love with her — rather hopelessly—for a long while. Craig comes to the house frequently and Tonv. in a mood of spile, tries to convince her father the young man is carrying on an affair with Judith. When Knight denies this angrily. Tony tricks Judith and Andy Craig into a luncheon engagement and brings her father upon the scene. . . M Tony Bnd Mortimer are arrested for reckless driving. Knight brings his daughter home For days the girl Is aullen and rebellious. Affairs reach inch a pitch that Judith appeals to Andy Craig. Knights sees the pair together but later Judith denies that she spent the afternoon in town. Knight tries to overcome his suspicions. Craig call to see Tonv. Her father goes to tell the girl of his arrival and she refuses to see Craig, but father and daughter are reconciled. Knight promises Tonv a trip to Miami with Judith, unaware that Mickev Mortimer has gone to the Florida resort NOW C.o ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT FROM the very start Judith opposed making the trip south. •But. I don’t want to go, Arthur!” he objected. “I’d much rather *t.ay here.” knight explained patiently. “It's going to do you good.” he ♦old her. “And then think of Tony! fihe needs to get away and you know I can't send her alone. I wish you could have heard the child talk tonight. Everything’s changed. Why, she admitted she’s been foolish, said she was ashamed of the way she’s been acting, wants to make anew start ” "I’m glad,” Judith answered. “But I'd SO much rather stay here With you!” Her husband shook his head. “You aren't going to feel that way any longer, dear. Why, I believe these four weeks will bring you and Tony together in a way nothing else could! I tell you the girl’s repentant. She dees her mistakes. Judith, this is the very time for you to use your Influence to cure her of her nonsense.” Knight’s speech ended abruptly. Perhaps he felt he had protested too much. Judith was silent. Suddenly she looked up. “Well, if the trip must be made why can’t you come, too? Please do. Arthur!” He said that was completely out cf the question. “I can’t leave town,” he assured her. “There's this trouble getting the western branch reorganized, Henderson's in South America. Wunter expects me to have the fall schedules ready next month. You know 1 couldn't get away just now, Judith. If it could be managed I'd be glad to go.” “Then it’s all settled.” Judith said quietly after a pause. “You want me to go?” “I wish you wouldn't put it just that way!” Judith Knight smiled up at her husband from beneath lowered lashes. The smile held reservations. but it was affectionate. ••11l do it if you want me to.” she agreed. “I’d —oh. I'd stay away three times as long if I knew it would persuade Tony to be friendly.” “And that's just what you're going to find will happen. What will you bet that at the end of one month sunning yourself on the sand and sitting under palm trees while New York’s 10 degrees below zero you won’t be telling me you’ve postponed your return another two weeks? What’ll you bet—huh?” “I’ll bet a quarter that I won’t!” “Put up your money.” a a a THE conversation ended jokingly. It was just another of those things, Judith Knight told herself, which must be seen through to the end. Theme was no way. apparently, to avoid this unwelcome pilgrimage with Arthur JCnight's daughter. She could hot to herself the following moriiing that Tony’s behavior was exemplary. Still Judith was wary. There ha<f been other times when the girl’s manner seemed dove-like and havoc followed close In the wake.

At 10 o'clock Tony had breakfasted and was downstairs, dressed for the day. She looked pale and considerably subdued. “Father says we’re going to Florida,” she said to Judith. “Yes Palm Beach. Do you like it there?” “Oh, I guess so. Anything’s better than New York. I like swimming.” “Good,” said Judith. “So do I.” "I haven’t a rag that's wearable, j Can’t go until I get together some j clothes.” This was a phase of the expedition which had escaped Judith completely. She had the wardrobe collected so hastily for the trip to Bermuda. Few of those things, she was to learn, would do for Palm Beach. Tony's purchases enlightened Judith. Sweetly, the younger girl asked her stepmother to accompany her upon shopping trips. The date of departure had been finally set atf March 5. This gave six days to rush through preliminaries. With admirable generalship Tony Knight began buying finery. She led the way to shops of which Judith had never heard. They were small, out-of-the-way places in the realm of upper Madison avenue. French—or English with such a French accent that Judith could scarcely understand it—was the language spoken. In such salons Tony Knight was draped and fitted in soft white woolen and cotton suits, swagger beach clothes and filmy, trailing frocks for evening which made her really beautiful. Judith bought several costumes. It was impossible to travel as Tony’s companion and not look the part. The price of these trifles appalled her. Furthermore, it all seemed so silly. Why should she spend time and money trying to look like a fashionplate merely to impress men and women unknown to her and in whom she had not the slightest interest? In this Judith Knight’s viewpoint was thoroughly feminine. Had Arthur been making the trip, if he were to be there to see them, lovely gowns would suddenly become paramount. The day that Tony quite casually ordered three dozen pairs of silk hose Judith felt she must remonstrate. She said nothing to the girl but confided in Knight. “Don't you think, Arthur,” she said cautiously, “that you reaiiy should say something to Tony about her extravagance? Just tactfully, I mean?” Knight shook his head, smiling indulgently. “You let me worry about the financial part of this trip?” he told Judith. "Just having Tony as quiet and well-behaved as she's been the last few days is almost worth the price of the thing. The kid's had her lesson. Now I want to show her it pays to behave. What's the price of a few dresses and silk stockings and one thing and another compared with peace in the family. There was certainlly no answer for Judith to make to that statement. a a a QUIETLY the days slipped by. Pour days before their depa. Jure Judith went in town alone on an errand. Tony had pleaded a headache and remained behind. It was nearly 4 o'clock in the afternoon. There was no sun and a chill March wind was blowing. Judith held her fur wrap closely about her as she hurried up the avenue. A window display of fine linens caught her eye. She paused, walked nearer to the shop window and inspected the tableware. “Why—if it isn't Judith!” The girl turned. For an instant she was incredulous. Then swiftly she recognized the woman who had spoken. She was barely three feet away, smiling and waiting. “Mrs. West—l didn’t recognize vou! Why, how do you do, Mrs. West?” “And I almost passed you. What a coincidence! My dear Judith, how well you're looking. What have you been doing all this time? So often we've thought of you.” “Oh. I've been rather busy. Dosome of the rooms of our home

over. Just now I’ve been shopping. We’re going to Florida ” “How very nice. My dear, do let’s go somewhere and have tea. I’m pining for it. And I must hear the news about you and Arthur!” That “Arthur” very nearly decided the issue. Judith never had presumed to call Mrs. Franklin West’s husband by his given name. She had never, when it was avoidable, called him anything. Hearing Mrs. West refer so intimately to Arthur Knight aroused resentment. Still, Mrs. West looked the picture of eager friendliness and Judith did not have many friends. “Why, yes,” she agreed. “Let’s have tea.” They found a place on the second floor above a popular eating place. It was a room paneled in dark wood and hung with blue draperies. Neat waitresses in black and white glided silently between the tables. Here and there about the large room groups of fashionably dressed women lingered over tea and wisps of curling cigaret smoke floated ceiling-ward.

Judith and Mrs. West took a table at the side of the room. The older woman had been chatting volubly during the lift in the elevator. She looked very attractive, Judith admitted to herself. The small black hat Mrs. West wore with its coquettish rose veil was a trifle theatrical —still it was becoming. The green velvet wrap suited Mrs. West’s high coloring, and displayed the lines of her excellent figure. “ —and we missed you so much after you left Bermuda,” Mrs. West was saying. “My husband spoke of you and Arthur repeatedly. Yes, we were at Hamilton until after Christmas and ever since then I’ve been meaning to look you up. Now that fate has taken a hand, we really must see more of you!” a a * JUDITH stirred uncomfortably. “Yes, indeed.” she murmured. “Just as soon as we return ” “Oh, you’re not going to put us off that long! Please don’t say that, Judith. Can’t you and Arthur take dinner with us tomorrow evening?” “I'm sorry,” the girl answered. "We have an engagement.” “Then how about the next night?” “I'm afraid Arthur's arranged something ” “But the night after that?” It was almost too much but Judith answered gamely: “Yes, the night after that—unless I find that Arthur has made other plans.” “Then I'll count on you. And tell Arthur I’m especially looking forward to seeing him again.” Fully aware of how her husband regarded Mrs. Franklin Monroe West, Judith felt that mention of this would hardly be tactful. (To Be Continued,!

Weak from terror, Rokoff watched the figure of the silent, struggling ape-man disappear beneath the river's surface to unthinkable death in the slimy mud below. As he realized the good fortune that had befallen him, a cruel smile of relief and triumph touched his lips. But it was short-lived! For just as he was congratulating himself he was now safe indeed, a mighty pandemonium rose from the river bank.

THE BEASTS OF TARZAN

There he saw standing upon the shore, glaring at him with hate-filled eyes, a devil-faced panther, surrounded by the hideous apes of Akut. In the forefront of them stood a giant black warrior, who shook his fists at him and uttered terrifying threats. The Beasts of Tarzan had been slow in following their agile master. The apes had reached the river just as Rokoff struck Tarzan.

Grim, relentless and terrible, the pack followed Rokoff day and night. His flight down the Ugambi became a horrible nightmare. Now abreast of him, now lost in the jungle for hours, only to reappear upon his trail, the dreadful horde raced after him, reducing him from a strong man to an emaciated, fear-gibbering thing long before the ocean broke upon his hopeless vision. Nowhere had he mm Jehe GhgrUhk

To him there seemed little doubt Jane had been captured by warriors from the villages she must pass on her way down to the sea. The sight of the mouth of the Ugambi filled Rokoff with renewed hope. There on the placid water of the bay floated the Kincaid at anchor. Frantically he paddled toward her, shouting loudly to attract the attention of the men he had left on board.
