CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE THEN. with ready jealousy, she saw the woman, the detective having departed, making love to Dean. Dean Carey was a very handsome man: the light o’ love who had been hired foi an occasion well might be anxious to turn fiction into (act. How long she sat in this unhappy reverie she riid not know. The book fell from her hands to her lap and then slipped unheeded to the floor. And then, withou' the formality of a knock. Dean burst open her door. "Never expected to see me again, did you?” For a moment she thought that he had been drinking. Then she realized that the wildness of his stare was due to no outside stimulant. but came from the excitement within him. •Thought you were rid of me forever, eh?” He advanced into the room, stood close to her. looming threateningly above her. "The pretty farce has been played,” he said. "Your detectives found me with the woman. You have the evidence. "Infidelity is not a serious offense for a man to commit. He doesn’t go 'iil for it, and my friends v ci. t me. Os course, my political c. eer is ruined. But until I fell in love with vou. I didn't dream of a political career. So, not having you. I won’t mind not having a career. ”1 suppose you're wondering why I came back?” "It does require an explanation, doesn't it?” she asked. "I didn't come back here to ask for thanks because I had terminated an impossible situation in the only decent way. I came back because I wondered if I had done the only possible thing.” "You insisted on it,” she reminded him. He nodded eagerly. “That's just it. You were content to let the impossible situation rock along. You, who were in love with another man, who were the mistress of another man. seemed reluctant to receive the freedom which I offered you. "I don't know why this should have seemed stranger than anything else. But it's only by comparison that we know the sun is brighter than the moon. "I went into that woman’s apartment ; onight. As she received me I thought of you entering an apartment where Jennings received you. And. by God. I knew it wasn't so. I tell you I knew it. "If I saw you. with my own eyes, go into his apartment I'd know that my eyes deceived me. You weren't the kind of woman with whom I was playing a part tonight.” "And still I don't see why you came back," she said. a a a HE smiled triumphantly down at her. “Your words say one thing, but your voice says another. You know why I came back.” She felt helplessly afraid of him. "I don't,' 1 she protested feebly. "One night, a while ago, we danced together. And all the lies you've to , maebefore and since are nothing -ompared with what your attitude nd actions said to me that night. "You love me There’s no good in denying it. 'or I know it's so. And it came to me. an hour ago. as those detectives broke down that door and I stood amid shameful vulgarity. I knew you were decent and fine and the woman I loved. And you were the woman who loved me.” "It's too late for all that now.” He laughed at her. "Why is it too late? You now that what happened tonight was a prearranged farce. I'm not even going to ask your forgiveness for that.” "Have all your charges against me been a farce, too?” "I ll not even apologize for them. Where love is there can be no apologies asked or given. I know you never went to Jennings." He was too near to her now, so near that it seemed to her that her will was being crushed. "But suppose that I say that I did go to him?” she cried in panic. "I'd tell you that you lied. Just as I told you that you lied when you denied going to him." His laugh was confident. “You know why I came back. I came back to get my wife, to get the woman who belongs to me.” She had no chance to reply. His arms swept her from the chair, enveloped snd crushed her. Lump in

his arms, she made no protest. His eager lips found hers and his first kiss awakened a reponse. Her own arms crept about his neck, drew his face closer to hers. "Now. lil never leave you,” he told her. “Never! Do you understand?" nun SHE nodded, granting an assent that it was beyond her power to withhold. Eleanor was forgotten: the fact that she had no right to be in this mans arms was forgotten; honor was forgotten. Everything was forgotten save the one blinding fact that they loved each other. All her resolutions amounted to nothing: he had come back to her: he believed her in spite of everything, and honor was a slight sacrifice to be laid at the altar of such faith as his. In the little recess by the bed the telephone rang. She moved in his arms and he laughingly relinquished her. r. "I’ll let you answer the phone,” he said, "just so that I’ll have the joy of watching you walk to me after it.” She opened the little recess and picked up the receiver. Recollection. realization, and honor came rushing back. "I'm at th? Dennison, West Eighth street. I'm ready to come home. Will you come down at once?”

"I will,” said Cynthia. She hung up the receiver and turned to Dean. He held out his arms. "Come.” he ordered. She shook her head; she hoped he wouldn't notice how white she was. I "Not —now.” she stammered. "Come-back." "How soon?” he demanded. There was the leniency of the victor toward the vanquished in his voice and manner. "An hour," she said. "And my wtfeikill be here waiting for me?” he asked. “Your wife will be here,” she answered. Without a word he turned and left the room. She waited until she was certain he was beyond hearing. | Then she rang up Tom Sanver. | “Eleanor just telephoned me. She j told me wneie she w as. I'll be right | over to get you.” Dean's wife would be waiting for him. but che woman he loved would be—she wondered where. a a a SHE looked around the room. It had become home to her. the only home she had known since she had left Ohio. European pensions. the shabby apartment on West Forty-eighth street, the cheap boarding houses, the third-rate I hotels—these had been unhappy makeshifts for home. Not a thing in this room had any permanency of association. Hardly more than a month ago she had 1 stepped into this house exactly as a new-born babe comes into the world. For an infant its without clothing I of its own. without property, with- ' out recollections of a past; an iV | fant is even without a name. She had to all intents and purposes been naked: the clothing that she wore was the property of Eleanor. She was without any knowledge of Eleanor's past life. She had—or rather could use—no name of her own, but must answer to the name that Eleanor had given her. Yet in a few short weeks, despite : the eternal strain under which she I lived, she had come to accept the things that surrounded her as matters of course. But it was not the luxury which she was leaving behind that made her linger in the room. It was the fact that the place itself had become dear to her. Yet she knew that had it been a hovel to which Dean had taken her, that hovel would have been as precious as this house. Only twice had he entered this bedroom, but if she were to live in it alone for the rest of fcr life she would feel his presence there. The mere fact that he had looked upon its furnishings made him a part of them. And if he could so force his personality upon the : furnishings of a room, how could she ever hope to rid herself of remembrance of him? Perhaps, after all. the dainty room had nothing to do with her hesitancy. She muawfbe honest with herself.. must reals exactly what she was giving

up, and that she was giving it up forever. a a a SHE was leaving Dean. There could be no return to him. Eleanor was alive, near at hand and ready to come home. How glibly the word “home” had come from Eleanor’s mouth! Could it be possible that Eleanor was prepared to assume her place as Carey's wife? The idea was incredible, but no more incredible than the things Eleanor already had dona. Cynthia, to get Dean out of the way, had promised him —she felt sickened that her last words to him should have been clothed with double meaning—that his wife would be waiting for him in this room. Would Eleanor return and shamelessly keep the tryst that Cynthia had arranged? Arranged? This was no time to order her thoughts to stop short of full contemplation of what had been her intentions. She had lived a life of deceit far weeks. Let her cleanse herself by honesty in this moment of her departure. A tryst had been arranged, and she had intended to keep it. Three hundred years of Puritan tradition had been abandoned. Those decencies which she had hugged closely to her bosom in her twen-ty-four years of existence had come to mean nothing as compared with the embrace of the man she loved. Never again would she look with censure upon the women of the streets. A great humility owned her. She was as they and they were as she. Given the proper temptation, and who knew what would be the result? Her heritage, her innate fineness —nothing would have mattered save her love. And yet, though she was grateful that she had not ! yielded, she could find in her heart no shame at her intention. But she would stay here no longer. Illuminatingly she knew that if she lingered longer she never would leave. Dean belonged to her, and she belonged to him. and not lightly would either of them surrender their belonging to an interloper. For that is what Eleanor was. She had disclaimed ownership of a man's heart, a..d now, when it had been given Lo someone else, she was demanding the return of that which had been ners.

TARZAN AND THE JEWELS OF OPAR

Keeping well in the shadows of the shrubbery growing profusely about the bungalow, Werper made his silent way to a point beneath an open window of the room in which he could hear his host and hostess talking earnestly. Almost the first words he overheard filled him with excitement. Lady Greystoke was speaking: "I always feared this might happen, but it . seems incredible*’

Whatever the cause," replied Tarzan, "the fact remains th.it I have lost everything, and there is nothing for it but to return to Opar and get more gold.” "Oh, John,” cried Lady Greystoke and Werper coul feel the shudder through her voice, "I would rather live in poverty always, than have you risk the hideous ’dangers of Opar. Is there no other way?”

"There is no other way half so easy to obtain another fortune, as to return to the treasure vaults of Opar and bring it away,” replied Tarzan. "You need have no fear. I shall be very careful, my dear, and the chances are that the inhabitants of Opar will never know I have been there again. They do not know the value of their treasure. In fact few of them know of its existence.”

Tarzan had made his decision and Lady Greystoke accepted his judgment. The following morning Werper announced his intention of departing. Kis party made but a short march when Werper pretended he was ill. He sent one of Achmet Zek's trusted blacks back over the trail to, watch for the departure, then to return and report the direction uken by the ape-man.
