BEGIN here today DAN RORIMER. a scenario writer in Hollywood, formerly under contract but now free lancing without much success, IS in love with ANNE WINTER, who. beginning -as an extra, has progressed rapidly and Is no.w under contract to one of the largest studios. Anne lives with two other girls, MONA MORRISON, a gay little red head, and EVA HARLEY, a quiet girl who at times is very bitter and who has had a tragic love experience. Eva and Mona are extras, but Mona works only occasionally and Eva very rarely, and this is another reason for her despondency. PAUL COLLIER, who writes a daily movie column for a string of newspapers, shares Dan's apartment with him. Collier accidentally meets Eva on Hollywood boulevard one day, and they run into a movie actor named FRANK MAURY. Maury, it develops, is the man who has broken Eva's heart. At eight of Eva Maury colors and hurrifes away and Eva almost faints Collier takes her home Late that night Anne wtnter telephones Rorimer to come right, over NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN (Continued.) He went out to dinner with Johnny and Paul, and they continued for a while to talk about Eva Harley and Frank Maury. But presently the topic was dropped and Paul began to tell Riddle about the screen story that Dan had turned in that morning at Amalgamated, and he cheerfully predicted its acceptance. Dan did not take the trouble to argue with him, although he had lost nothing of the pessimism that had dwelt with him for several weeks past. He and Johnny were tired after their golf game, and Johnny left them not long afterward. Back in the apartment once more, Paul sat down to his typewriter to hammer out his column and Dan picked up a book with a feeling of relief that, his own manuscript finished, there was no need of his working this evening. But he yawned over his book after a while, so he went to bed, and Paul shortly followed; and past midnight the insistent ringing of the telephone brought him sitting up in bed with a jerk. He heard Paul stir in the next room, but he called out: "I’ll get it,” and switched on the lights. It was Anne again. She said, in a voice that was half frantic with fear: ‘‘Oh, Dan, were in trouble. It's Eva. Can you come right away?” “I’ll be right over," he said. CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT ANNE heard him drive up, and she opened the door for him. “Paul’s waiting in the car," he told her, “just in case—” She nodded, only half hearing him. "Eva tried—tried to take poison,” she said, and began to cry. Dan’s arm went around her. Come now. Anne, bear up. She's all right,, isn’t she? Did you call a doctor? Where -is she?’ 1 Anne pointed to the closed bedroom door, beyond which he could hear muffled sobbing and another voice, pleading and soothing—Mona, trying to quiet Eva. . "The doctor?” Dan repeated, and Anne told him that she had summoned one and he was on his way. "But when I called you Eva was desperate. She kept struggling with Mona--and fighting her off, and I Vas afraid.” Anne was shaking. He talked to her steadfastly and she became calmer, and he asked her to tell him what had happened; but before she could begin Mona’s voice cried out and there was a scuffling noise at the door. Dan glanced questioningly at Anhe and she nodded mutely. "Call Paul in.” he said, and he sprang toward the door and opened it. He. saw Mona holding on desperately tp Eva. .who .was trying to -get out; and he se’zed the struggling girl by her wrists and forced her gently back to her bed and made her sit down. "You must be quiet., Eva,” he told her. keeping ins hold or her wrists. And he said, “You’re frightening Monar can't you see what you’re doing to Mona? Please be quiet.” Paul appeared then in the doorway, with Anne close behind him, her face twisted with worry. “It’ll be al right,” Dan told them, and he thought that Anne must not stand around like that, she must have something to employ her hands; so he said, "Will you make some coffee, Anne, please? I think perhaps we’ll all need it,” and she turned at once and went to the kitchen, with Paul following. Anne had slipped into a dress before their arrival, and Mona had flung a robe about herself. She did this now for Eva, who continued to struggle feebly against Rorimer's strength, making no sound beyond an occasional gasping intake of breath. There was no light on in the

room, but light came in at the open door, and Eva Harley’s face was shocking to see. Mona sat on her other side, with an arm around her. murmuring soothingly in her ear, and while, they sat thus the doctor came. n tt u ANNE brought him to the room at once. Mona remained with him and Eva, but Dan, relieved of his duty there, joined Anne and Paul in the kitchen. And he got Anne to tell him what had happened. Mona, Who occupied the same bedroom with Eva, had heard Eva get up during the night, had followed her to the bathroom and there had seen her with a bottle in her hand. "And the widest gleam in her eyes, Dan. Mona dashed it from her hand and Eva struggled with her, trying to get it again. And I woke up then and came out, and we managed to get Eva to her room.” But Eva had continued to struggle furiously, to cry out that she was going to kill herself, and both Mona and Anne were desperately frightened. "So I called you right away, Dan, and then I called the doctor. I’m sorry I caused you so cinch trouble, but I was so worried I hardly knew what T was doing,” "You did.exactly right,” Dan said, patting her shoulder. "What are your friends for if you can’t call on them? Stop worrying now; Eva will be all right.” He said, smilingly, "How about that coffee, Anne? Isn’t it ready yet?” His complaint brought an answering smile to Anne's lips. The percolator was bubbling and she poured coffee for them, and Dan prevailed upon her to take a cup herself. Mona came out while they were drinking it, and Dan poured some for her; and some minutes later the physician joined them. He had given Eva an emetic, and an opiate, “She’s sleeping now,” he said. Anne offered him coffee, which he declined, and she thought it best to explain the presence of Rorimer and Collier. The doctor nodded, and he began to question her at length about Eva Harley. He got the whole story, excepting Frank Maury’s name. He asked, after some moments of thought, whether Eva had exhibited similar emotional disturbances before, this. Mona said, "No, Doctor,” and she went on to say that, in her opinion, something like this had been inevitable, because of Eva’s silent, brooding ways. "I’ve always been afraid of it.” He questioned her, then, as to Eva’s attitude and behavior, and he considered her answers gravely. It might be dangerous, he thought, for Eva to be alone; in her present unbalanced state she might be dangerous to others; he did not want Anne or Mona to run unnecessary risks. His advice was that Eva should be taken to a hospital, .'here she could be kept under careful observation for a few days. a u n MONA and Anne were appalled, and Mona made some protest. But, doctor ” He interrupted, smilingly, but firmly. "Then a nurse, at least,” he said; "but I advise the hospital.” He glanced at Dan and Paul in turn, and Dan nodded and said: "It’s best. If Eva is really—sick. Mona, you'll want her to have the best of care.” The doctor said encouragingly that Eva mrght be all right in the morning, but Dan understood that he was concerned, and he accompanied him to the telephone, where tire doctor called the hospital and made arrangements for an invalid car so that Eva's sleep should not be disturbed. Dan asked frankly: "Is there any danger of Eva losing her mind? Is that what you're afraid of?” But the physician shook his head and frowned. "I’m not competent to say; but I don’t care to trust a person with a suicidal mania, however temporary, in a house with two girls. I’m going to have a psychiatrist lok at her.” He talked to Dan privately for some minutes, and Dan was satisfied that he was entirely right in wanting to relieve Mona and Anne of Eva’s care. Dr. Howson remained until the invalid car arrived. When it departed Anne cried again, and Mona, even, was utterly cheerless. The two young men remained for a while with reassuring words, and then they left, and they

—By Williams

were thoughtful and silent on the ride home. Anne had to work the next day, but Mona, who was free, called on Eva at the hospital and found her calmer, though penitent and tearful. Mona called Dan to tell him. "And there’s nothing to worry about. The doctors say it's more nervous shock than anything, and as soon as Eva has rested from it she can come home. I’m sure glad.” Dan said he was, too. But he said bluntly, "Mona, don’t you really think that it would be best for Eva if she left Hollywood and went back where she came from? I mean, considering her failure to get along in picture work and her—and this thing about Maury. Don’t you think so? She’s terribly unhappy here.” "I know it.” There was silence from Mona after that, but in a few moments he heard her voice again and it sounded tearful. She said: "Aw, gee. Dan, you don't know how good Eva’s been to me. . . . But I guess you’re right. Only. I’d hate to see her go—shd’s the best friend I've got.” “I know it, Mona,” Dan told her sympathetically, “but I’m thinking of what's best for Eva.” WHEN Collier came home that afternoon Dan thought he looked like the cat that had swallowed the canary. He sat down at once at his typewriter, but when he had thrust a sheet of paper under the platen, and twirled it, he sat and stared at it; and Dan saw him grin rather foolishly. "What’s the matter?” Dan asked "Out with it.” Collier turned a bland gaze on him. "Out with what?” “There’s something on your mind, you big stiff; you can't fool me.” But Collier denied that this was so. "The only thing on my mind is this story—that and the fact that you and I ha,ve a date tomorrow night to go to the opening. Anne’s still going, by the way, isn’t she?” Dan said she was. and he stood there and looked at Collier suspiciously for some time. "You’ve been up to something,” he said finally, and he turned away and left Paul to his work. His suspicion proved to be wellfounded, but it was not until the next day that he heard the story from Johnny Riddle. Johnny, who sooner or later heard about everything, said that Collier had pulled Frank Maury’s nose. “No!” Dan said. "I'm telling you,” Johnny insisted. "There were witnesses. The story's all over Hollywood now.” The incident lost nothing in Johnny’s dramatic version of it. This was substantially correct, but a bit colored, Dan learned that evening when he accused Paul Collier as they were dressing for the opening. "Holding out on me, eh?” Collier grinned guiltily. "What do you mean?” “You don’t know, eh?’’

TARZAN AND THE JEWELS OF OPAR

And while La with drooping head took up the long inarch to Opar Tarzan of the Apes raced through the trees until the darkness of night had settled upon the jungle. Then he lay down and slept, with no thought beyond the morrow and with even La but the shadow of a memory in his consciousness. And but a few marches to the north Lady Greystoke looked fc-ward to the day when Tarzan should discover tne crime of Achmet Zek and be speeding to rescue and revenge.

MOM’N POP

Yet even as she pictured his coming, the object of her thoughts squatted, almost naked beside a fallen log busily engaged gnawing food from his grimy fingers. The thought of the jewels entered Tarzan's mind and he conceived a desire to play with them again. Having nothing better to do he started to the place where he had buried them. But when he came to the spot and dug with his hunting knife the gems were missing. Tarzan's brow clouded as he made the discover-

—By Martin

Little or no reasoning was required to convince him of the guilty party, and with the same celerity that had marked his decision to unearth the jewels, he set out upon the trail of the thief. Though the trail of the Belgian was days old, the ape-men had no difficulty in following it.' To his sensitive nose and vision it was as clear as the printed page to us. Doggedly he yrent on, pausing by day only to kill and to eat, and at night only to sleep and refresh himself.

Occasionally he passed parties of savage warriors. These were Basuli’s Waziri allies marching to a common rendezvous in preparation for an assault upon the stronghold of Achmet Zek. But to Tarzan they were enemies and be gave them a wide berth, for lie retained no conscious memory of any friendship for these black men. It was night when he halted outside the palisaded village of the Arab raiders. To this place the spoor had led him. His quarry must be within. _ , ■* -
