Is In ■ove with the girl and before leaving Baltimore Celia promised to be loyal to his love. Mitchell arks EVELYN PARSONS, beautiful widow, to introduce the girl to young people. Mrs. Parsons agree*, reordering Celia a means to win Mitchell's affections, though she is Jealous and at once begins scheming to get rid of the nil. she introduces Celia to TOD 'JORDAN, fascinating, but of dubious character, and does all she can to encourage this match. LISI DUNCAN, eoclallv prominent, becomes Celia s ioval friend. Mitchell learns Jordan Is paving his daughter attentions and forbids her to see him.

Next, dav Celia Llsl and Jordan attend the races and there Celia encounters Bamcv Shields Shields teils her he is working for a New York picture service and she agrees to telephone him next dav. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT WHEN Celia Mitchell opened | her eyes next morning she | saw at once that her plans for the day were ruined. Two little wrinkles appeared in her forehead as she turned on her pillow and gazed out the open window. Rain! It was falling in gentle monotony, not a downpouring summer torrent that would end as abruptly as it had begun. This rain was sure to last throughout the day. She sat up in bed and considered the dripping outdoors mournfully. Why, of all times, did it have to rain today? Her strategy, carefully studied out the night before, was useless low. She had planned, as an excuse to meet Barney, to stage an impromptu shopping trip. She would tell Evelyn she must have tennis shoes. They would have to be fitted and could not be sent out. Besides. Lisi had told her of a small store which carried the best equipment. It all sounded plausible enough, but who would be so ridiculous as to go shopping in the rain? No, that story would never do today. Celia dressed slowly. She still was reticent about confiding in Evelyn. By the time she went down to breakfast no solution of her problem had come to mind. "Your breakfast is ready, Miss Celia,’’ Hilda greeted her. "Mrs. Parsons had a tray sent to her room.” This was unusual. “Isn’t she feeling well?” the girl asked. “I don’t knorv. Rose said she Wasn't to be disturbed.” Celia ate her lonely meal. It added to the general gloominess of the situation that there was no one across the table to chat with. Hilda moved quietly from kitchen to dining room. The whole house was silent. When Celia had finished she went out on the porch and watched the rain. Larchwood without its sunshine seemed a different place. No tennis. No gardening. • And Barney was expecting her to telephone. She spent most of the morning on the porch. Mrs. Parsons appeared a little before noon and said that she had slept and was feeling much refreshed. • Then a marvelous thing occurred. Evelyn noted it first. "I believe the rain is stopping,” she said. “Look—it's much lighter than it was.’’ ' Oh, if only it would!" “I’m glad, too,” Evelyn said. “There's a bridge tournament at Fannie Marlow’s club and I promised to play with her, but I wouldn't think of going if the shower keeps up. I don't know whether you'd enjoy it or not, Celia, unless, of course, you care to watch. Every one will be playing.” a an THE girl shook her head quickly. "No. that wouldn't be much fun for me. What I wanted to do this afternoon was go in town to get some tennis shoes. Lisi told me the place to buy them.” “I’m sorry, dear, but I'H need the car.” T “Oh. that's all right!’ I can taxi to the station and take the interurban. They say, it saves lots, of time.” "Well, of course, if you don’t jnind the smoke and crowd!” “I like crowds. That was the thrilling thing about the races yesterday.” The day had brightened mirac-

ulously. With fifteen minutes the stead;-' tap-tap-tap of the rain had become a sprinkle. Ten minutes more and the sky was clear. Evelyn held a long telephone conversation after luncheon. At j 2:30 she tapped on the dqtfr of Celia's room. ’Come in!” the girl called, Mrs. Parsons appeared in the! doorway. She wore an afternoon i gown and wrap and her becoming j Reboux hat. “I’m going now,” she said. "Fannie insists that I must stay to dinner with her. She has some friends coming I met abroad. I’ll try to be home by 8 or 9, though. I hope you won't be lonesome, dear.” "Never mind about me. I hope you win!” "Thanks. Goodby.” Celia waited five minutes. She saw the motor car move off down the driveway, then dashed downstairs to the nearest telephone. "I want to speak to Mr. Barney Shields,” she told the voice which answered after she had given the number of the Apex Picture Service. "Just a minute. I’ll see if he's here.” Celia waited with tightening throat. It seemed so queer that Barney was actually near enough that she could speak to him. "Hello!” It was Barney himself who answered. “This is Celia,” she told him. “I’m sorry I couldn’t call this morning, but I'm coming in town right away. Where can I meet you?” Barney’s voice was a series of delighted, somewhat incoherent sounds. Hs said he could meet her at 4 o’clock at the station. Yes, he knew all about the train service. He even got a time table and informed Celia when she could get her train. Barney, though new in the city, seemed to be persisting in' his habit of knowing how to do just about everything. There was ample time, but after Celia had put down the telephone she hurried to her room, pillaged dresser drawers and ransacked her clothes closet in frenzied haste. There were so many things she wanted to ask Barney that yesterday, in the suddenness of their encounter, she had forgotten. She wondered when he had last seen her mother. Surely he would have some message from her. Celia flew into her clothes, thinking little about how she looked. Then she telephoned the suburban station for a taxicab. When she reached the interurban depot there was a wait of twenty minutes, which seemed an horn - . At last she was on the train speeding toward the city. Along with the excitement of meeting Barney, there was the novelty of setting off by herself on this journey. She was amazed when she realized the train was traveling under ground. a a a THERE was a tense fifteen minutes and then she heard the conductor’s raucous shout: “Last stop! All out!” Celia stepped timidly out into the vast railway station. She looked up and down in bewilderment. Some one touched her arm. "Barney! How did you get here?” He was grinning at her from beneath the rakish brim of his straw hat. > “Feet, my child, feet. And a little good luck, too! I got off early.” They smiled at each other, neither speaking. Then Shields asked: “Well, whither from here? You’re going to have dinner with me, of course, but we have a couple of hours before that.” “I came in town to buy some tennis shoes.” “Oh, was that the reason? I thought possibly you came to see me!” “I mean—that was what I told Mrs. Parsons.” They laughed like school children sharing a joke. Celia produced the address of the store Lisi had recommended. Barney immediately went into deep thought plotting a route to reach it. “It's not far." he told her. “Would it be beneath your dignity to walk, madamoiselle?” Celia said she would much rather walk than ride. She could never quite getenough of the entrancing streets of the metropolis. With Barney beside her she would feel secure in the maze of scurrying pedestrians and noisy vehicles. They bought the shoes. It was * after 5 when they left the shop.

"Tell you what we’ll do,” Barney said. “Take a bus down the avenue. It'll be cool on top. There’s an Italian place down on Eleventh street I think you'll like." The plan was agreeable to Celia. “But listen, Barney, ” she said, "you haven't told me anything about yourself or what you’re doing here or anything yet! I want to hear about it." “Come on, here's the bus! Tell you after we get upstairs." But on the ride down Fifth ave- | nue there was too much to be pointed out to Celia’s eager eyes, ; too impressive a panorama to allow much conversation. Celia had glimpsed the famous thoroughfare from the windows of j sedate limousines. Now she saw it j as a glamorous, colorful procession between majestic buildings. bub WHEN they were finally settled at a table for two in the basement dining room and the girl had exclaimed over the blazing ovens where roasting chickens turned on spits and over the foreign atmosphere of the place. Barney Shields leaned forward.. He clasped his hands together. “This is what I’ve been looking forward to for a long time,” he said. "You look swell, Celia!" “I guess it’s the new clothes.” * "Are they new? Hadn’t noticed ’em. You’d look swell to me no matter what you wore.’’ Celia smiled. “You’re looking pretty well yourself, Mr. Shields. Now tell me about the job. When did you get here? Have you seen mother lately?” Barney put up one hand. “Now wait a minute. Wait a minute! One at a time. I told you it was a long story. No, I haven’t seen your mother very recently. You see it was a month ago I left Baltimore." “A month ago? Barney Shields, do you mean you’ve been here a whole month and didn’t try to see me?" “But, Celia, you don’t understand. Wait —I’d better begin at the beginning. Do you remember six weeks ago about the aerial maneuvers at Washington? “Spectacular stuff! I made a bunch of pictures and had good luck with ’em. Shot at unusual angles. You know that’s the kind of thing I like. They seemed pretty fair, so after we’d used ’em in the Post I shipped a bunch of prints to Apex Pictures. "Biggest piece of luck you ever heard of! Wagner—he’s the man who runs Apex—is nutty about air stuff. He bought the bunch and wired there was a vacancy on the staff. “Guess what your little friend Barney said to that? They were decent about letting me off on the paper. I packed my other suit and toothbrush, and here I am!” “But a w’-ole month ” Shields’ lace had grown serious. “I had to be sure I was going to make the grade before I tried to see you,” he said. “I’m getting twice the salary I did. but of course it wouldn’t be considered anything in your crowd. That’s why I waited and why I didn’t write. “It looks like this job is going to be a real opportunity. Wagner seems to like me—anyhow, he’s treating me O. K. You see how it was, don’t you, Celia?" “I—guess so.” Barney hesitated. Then he leaned nearer, his clear, gray eyes troubled. “You still care, don’t you?” he asked slowly. “There isn’t—anybody else?"

(To Be Continued) RUSSIAN BEGGARS HIT BY COINS SHORTAGE Small Change Hoarded; Stamps and Tram Tickets Substituted. Bv t'nitrd Pr^ss MOSCOW, Oct. 25.—The incomes of street beggars everywhere in the Soviet Union have been cut disastrously by the current shortage of small change. Tire Russans always are generous : ,o beggars. The recent disappearance of small change, however, has set a sharp limit to that generosity. Coins are so difficult to obtain and so useful that few are big-hearted enough to throw them into the tin cups of charity. Postage stamps, tram car tickets ma other makeshifts are in common use nere in lieu of change.

FRANCE WARS ON LARK Loses to Farmers Bring Deman 4 for Slaughter of Birds. Bit United Preset PARIS, Oct. 25.—The lark. the symbol of poets and favorite dish of epicures, has lost prestige in France where a movement has just been started for its extermination. Asa result of losses to agriculture caused by larks sweeping down from the skies and making a meal on newly sown wheat seeds, deputies representing the farming districts of the country have asked for a revision of the hunting laws to brings about a more genera! slaughter of these birds.

As Tarzan freed his hands, from the jungle came a low guttural and the ape-man became suddenly a silent, rigid statue, with ears and nostrils straining to span the black void which his eyesight could not reach. Again came the uncanny sound from the thick verdue beyond the camp. A sentry halted abruptly, straining his eye? into the gloom. The kinky wool upon his head stiffened and raised. He called to his comrade In a hoarse whisper, ’’Did you hear it?" Tse other, came closer, trembling. Again the T.-elrd sound was repeated.

Trees overhung the boma on the opposite side from them. They dared not approach nearer. Their terror even prevented them from arousing their fellows—they could only stand in fozen fear and watch for the fearsome apparition they momentarily expected to see leap from the jungle. Nor had they long to wait. A dim. bulky form dropped lightly from the branches of a tree into the camp. At sight of it one of the sentries recovered command of his muscles and his voice. He screamed loudly to awaken the camp and threw a mass of brush on the flickering fire.

The flames leaped high from the rejuvenated fire, lighting the entire camp, and the awakened men shrank back in superstitious terror from the sight that met their frightened vision. A dozen huge and hairy forms loomed large beneath the trees at the far side of the inclosure. The white giant, his hands free, had struggled to his knees and was calling to the frightful, nocturnal visitors in a hideous medley of bestial gutturals, barkings and growlings.

Growling, the great apes leaped forward toward Tarzan and Werper. Chulk led them. The Belgian officer called to his men to fire upon the intruders but the Negroes held back, filled as they were with superstitious terror of the hairy tree-men, and with the conviction that the white giant who could thus summon the beasts of the jungle to his aid was more than human. Drawing his own weapon the officer fired and Tarzan, fearing the effect of the noise upon his really timid friends, called to Lima to hnft—anfl fulfill his CdUUfidHob
