Her closest girl friend Is MIRLAM BOBBIN, who also works In the clock shop. Having been warned by Miriam about the Red Mask, brutal slugger who has been the terror of parking couples. Mary Della goes to meet JOE BPEAKS. her ‘'steady company," In front of the postofflce. But Joe falls to appear and. angry. Mary Della Is crossing the street alono when run down by a long, yellow roadster driven by a young man in a raccoon coat. Thl young man Is ROBERT HENLEY CALKMAN 111. one of the Calkmans of letrolt. Yale senior, and Just accepted as a prospective husband by MARJORIE MARABEE who lives on fashionable Cracker Hill. Robert doesn't know where the hospital Is and Mary Della opens one eve and offers to direct him. But she mischievously directs him past the hospital and out East Main Street. Robert wakes up to the fact that Mary Della Is spoofing him. The conversation turns to parking and petting. Mary Delia names the favorite parking stations in and around Waterbury, Including the arc of old highway about half way to Cheshire off the new Cheshire road. She points It out to him a few minutes later and Robert turns the car Into the road and parks. Mary Della threatens to walk back, but relents when he sees Robert’s embarrassment. Back in the car. Robert asks if he may kiss her. Another car comes Into the road and turns Its lights out. The night Is fclark. Mary Della Impulsively *hrows her arms about Robert's neck and kisses him. But as their lips meet, a woman screams In the darkness ahead Robert goes to investigate, but doesn't come back. CHAPTER FIVE (Continued 1 ! ~T COULDN’T help it,” Mary Della I. said, looking up into Miriam 1 : anxious eyes. "It’s been coming on all day." Miriam '•••vs rubbing Mary Della’s forehead with a damp cloth. “Lie quiet, honey.” she coaxed. "You've been through a hard night, what 1 mean. But we’ve got plenty of time and you’ll be feeling O. K. soon if you take it easy.” "I’m all right now, Miriam. Just a little shaky.” She sat up, shook her head violently, and threw it back with an abrupt motion that disposed of the combing problem. “IYe been holding in all night ana all day, and I had to let go to somebody. Can I have your mirror and compact for a minute? I’ll be straightening myself out." She set the mirror between her knees at a convenient angle anc dabbed her cheeks with a ridiculously small puff. "Where’d I leave off. Miriam?” “Listen, honey.” Miriam begged, “let’s talk about It some other time. You're Just working yourseif into a fever. “Be your age.” Mary Della •napped. "I'm -cady for battle now. The fainting spells don't come more than once in a year, and that’ over —you're wondering. I guess, what made me act like such a silly when 1 turned the lights on that pleasant Uttla scene. The truth Is, I don’t know, except that—that he hadn’t come on the scene like I'd expected him to. “You know, I was bragging around that if the Red Mask ever stuck his nose in a car where I was hanging out, I'd crack him on the bean with a Jack handle or something. "But look what went before. That scream was enough to turn your blood to water. And then, Bob going out and never making a sound. Believe me, I was about ready for a sanitarium before the Red Mask made his bow, and 1 don't mean there's any argument about it. “Don’t I know It!" exclaimed Miriam. “I'd dropped dead right on the spot. Good grief! Did you know what to do next? - ’ "Hardly. But I knew one thing and that was that he had cft>aked or tried to croak Bob and the woman, and I figured I was next.” "Don’t tell me he started alter you. ....?” m m m “TF I hadn't expected it, I'd prob1. ably had a stroke of paralysis right then and the game would have been up. But I was thinking pretty fast by that time. I remembered what Bob had said about hiding out in the woods. So the first thing I did was turn out the lights. Even chances. “Then I slid out the door, dosed tt easy behind me, and ran straight back down the road for about a hundred feet, got down on my hands and knees and crawled into the woods. "I couldn’t make out when he got to the ear. but he must of been there pretty quick after I got out. ft was a couple of minutes before

I he found the switch and turned the ; lights on. Then he turned them | out again. "But that time, he’d found out that whoever had turned those lights out before had headed for parts unknown. "I heard him kicking around at the side of the road a little bit. but he knew it was too big a job to search the whole woods and he gave it up.” "Thank God!” Miriam groaned. "About a minute later the light on the other car came on and the engine started. If I'd had any sense, Miriam, I’d have gotten the license number of that bus while Bob’s lights were shining on it. But I didn’t think about it until I saw his car moving out on to the highway, headed toward Waterbury. “I had an idea he might try’ to trap me by coming back hi a few minutes to sec if I was in the car again, but there wasn’t any time to think about that then. Bob and the women were out there, dead or dying. and I was the only one to do anything about it.” CHAPTER SIX "TV/f ARY DELLA,” said Miriam, “if IYI you went back into that road where they were lying, you ought to get your head examined. If it’d been me, I’d of been on that highway running as hard as my legs would carry’ me. I'm scared of dead people anywhere; and on a dark road by myself ...” “Don’t think I went back because I was brave. Miriam. A rabbit could of run across that road and scared me cold. But you see I didn’t know they were dead; I iust thought it. And I had to find; out especially about Bob. “So I stumbled down the road, last the car and felt my way to where I remembered Bob was lying. “You'll never know what happen'd to my heart, Miriam, when I ov. my hand on his head and felt aim raise up on his elbows. I just busted out crying , . . couldn’t help i it to save me. . . . “I asked him if he was hurt and ne said .not much.’ and ...” But Mary Della was leaving out some pertinent details at this point and I find it necessary’ to tell a part of the story for her. mam '"|~'HE moment Mary Della realized A that Bob was alive, she dropped on her knees beside him and put !an arm under his head. "Bob! . . . Bob! Darling . , . can’t you speak to me . , . please ... !" Bob groaned and felt the top of his head. "He darned near broke my head,” he said. "But ... it was worth it ... to hear you talk likar that . . . Good old head, too thick for the bad man to break.” He laughed softly, and tried to rise. “Gosh, but ; I’m groggy’. Feel like the morning after the night before . . . What about the woman?” Now. if Mary Della will stop holding back on Miriam, well let her go ahead with her story’. "I told him I was scared to look. He go to his feet somehow, with my help, and I waited while he went over to the woman and struck a match. He didn't touch her; he didn’t even stoop over. He just turned around and walked back, took my arm and led me to the car, “ ‘You suggested not no long ago that it was time we were getting out of here.’ he said. ‘I think you’re right. Get in.’ ‘But my mind was on that woman. ‘Can’t we .... do anything for her?’ I asked him. "He stepped on the starter and pulled the robe up over my knees. You might pray for her, Mary Della,’ he said quietly, *if you believe | in that sort of prayer. She was dead i ten seconds after that last scream.’ "He turned the car around and we started back over the road we’d come out on little more than an hour before. "For a long time we didn’t say a word, but started straight ahead. " ‘We’re both wondering.’ Bob said after a while, how deeply we’re likelv to be involved in this, aren’t we, Mary Della?" “I nodded. “ There are probably as many | reasons why your name should not be dragged in as there are why

—By Williams

mine should not,’ he told me. ‘l’ll drag mine in and out again if it will protect you any, but it certainly will change my W’hole life if I do.’ " ‘Will anybody ever find out we were there?’ I asked. “ ‘Well, that’s the point,’ he said. ’We can get into no end of trouble by your silence if they ever run us down. These murders are hard to explain and they make it hot for , witnesses, though, of course, we weren’t witnesses to the actual killing. "If we go straight to the police now and tell our story, there'll be plenty of disgusting publicity and all’that, but we'll save our necks and may help in identifying this devil. ... By the way, I didn’t get a look at him, did you?’ a tt t> I TOLD him what had happened alter he left me in the car, but he didn't know’ anything about the Red Mask and I had to tell him that story, too. “ 'Well, it’s plain enough he didn’t come out here tonight to bother parkers,’ Bob said. ‘He took that woman there to kill her and nothing else. She knew too much about his business, very likely . . . But this isn’t getting us anywhere . . . I'll do whatever you think best, Mary Della. 1 he tola me, ‘“I thought about Mom and Pop, and Joe. and the girls in the shop, and I know nobody W’ould ever believe what I said ...” “Well, you know I would,” Miriam declared with feeling. “And as for Joe Spaaks, didn't he stand you up and cause all this?” Don't talk to me about him!” "Let’s don’t fight now% Miriam. The way I feel today. I think Joe’d be a lot of comfort . . . But anyhow, I told him I wouldn’t decide; he'd have to do the thinking for both of us. I got him in this mess; I eouldnt keep him from getting out of it if he could. But I know what he wanted to do, and finally I said: •Let's take the risk of keeping our mouths shut, Bob.’ And he said all right.” "Here's your jacket, honey,” said Miriam. “We'll have to be starting back now. Is there much more?” “No.” said Mary Della, “that’s all.” mam NOW it is obvious that Mary Della intends to omit some of the facts to which Miriam is entitled considering what she has had to listen to, and we won't stand back and see her denied the little ray of sunshine in Mary Della’s black cloud. When Mary Della suggested that they “take the risk,” Bob held her fingers to his lips. “You're a brick!” he exclaimed “There isn’t one girl in a million who could have done what you did out there, sitting in that car alone and then coming back to me after what you had seen.” (To Be Continued)

THE SON OF TARZAN

Akut explained to Korak that these rites proclaimed the choosing of anew king. At last the brutes rested, their stomachs full. “Come slowly. Korak,” Akut whispered. "Do as I do." Making their way through the trees, they stood on a bough overhanging one side of the amphitheater. Then Akut uttered a peculiar growl. Instantly a score of apes leaped to their feet. The new king-ape was-the .first to spy the two. figures upon the branch.

He growled ominously. His hair bristled and his legs stiffened, as with a Jerking motion he lumbered toward the intruders, followed by a number 01 bulls Akut did .iot. wish to fight. He had come with the boy to cast his lot with the tribe. "I am Akut." he, called down. “This is Korak. He is the son of Tarzan. vho .was king of the apes. I. too, was king of the apes beside the .great waters. We are mighty, fighters. Let us come in peace." .

The king’s little eyes grew crafty. He feared these two strange apes. The sleek, brown, hairless oody of the lad spelled “man,” and man he hated. “Go away,” he growled, “or I will kill you! r ihe eager lad standing behind the great Akut had been pulsing with happiness and anticipation. He wanted to leap down and show the : hairy monster* he was one of them—their frier.. Now the words of the king-ape filled him with indignation and sorrow.

The great apes had remained his final hope. To them he looked for the companionship man had denied him. Suddenly rage overwhelmed him. The apes beneath him had formed in a half circle around the king, watching events interestedly. Before Akut could guess his intention or prevent it, the boy leaped to the ground directly in the path of the king, who had now worked himself up into a perfect frenzy of jeakraa fury.
