She meets Shields on the street one afternoon and Is with him when Jordan suddenly appears. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FORTY JORDAN was with another man. They were talking briskly, coming toward Celia and Barney Shields. As yet the girl was sure Jordan had not seen them. His lace was turned toward his companion. Instinct prompted Celia. She did not want Jordan to meet her with Barney. There would be much to explain. Her eye caught a sign in the store window they were passing. “Nash’s Nuts,” the sign read. “Extra special fancy shelled pecans. All varieties of salted nuts.” The girl hesitated only a moment. “Oh, Barney, let’s come in here! I want some cashews.” She tugged at his arm and, somewhat surprised, he followed. They stepped Into the tiny store. Behind a counter made of glass bins filled with nuts, a young man stood. “Something for you, ma’am?” he asked. “Yes. I mean—why. yes. Have you any cashew nuts?” There was a guilty alertness in Celia’s manner. She tried to smile to hide this. The salesman consulted his stock. “I’m sorry, ma'am. I don’t have them. We’re just out. Is there anything else you’d care for inttend? 0 Celia shot a glance over her shoulder. Tod Jordan and the man with him were passing the store. If they glanced in they would think Barney was merely another customer. She turned away from Shields toward the salesman. “You say you haven’t any cashews?” “No, ma’am. We’re just out. I’ll have more in the morning.” “Oh, well—well, give me a quarter of a pound of the salted pecans.” “Yes, ma’am.” Barney Shields eyed the girl curiously while the order was being filled. He noticed Celia’s quick glance down the street as they stepped to the door. “Celia,” he said, when they were on the street again, “why did you go in there?” “Why, to buy nuts!” “Oh, no. you didn’t. You know that wasn't the reason. I want to know why you did it.” “What in the world makes you say such a thing?” Her flush was tell-tale.” “Os course, if you don’t want to tell me it’s all right.” tt St St THEY walked in silence. Celia turned her head away, but she could not master the uncomfortable feeling that she had deceived Barney, and he knew it. She was in the wrong and the sensation was disagreeable. At the corner they paused to wait for traffic lights to change. It was several seconds before they were across the street. Then Celia looked up and smiled shamefacedly. “You’re right,” she said. “I did go into the store as an excuse. It was because I didn't w&ut to meet someone.” “Oh, I see.” Shields’ tone was cool. “It was Tod,” Celia went on. “He was with some other man. I don’t know who. And I didn’t want him to see me with you.” The girl hesitated. then noting the change that had come over Barney Shields’ countenance she hurried on. “Oh. please don’t misunderstand, Barney! It wasn’t—well. I mean, it would take a lot of explanations.

Tod would be sure to ask questions. “You mustn’t think for a minute that I—well, thst I don't want you to meet my friends. I do! I know you and Tod would like each other a lot and I want you to meet, it’s only that just now ” “Oh. don’t bother to explain. I get the drift all right.” “Barney, you mustn’t talk that way. You make me feel dreadful!” “Well, why should you want your millionaire friends to see you with a no-account like me?” j “Barney, please !” He saw the haze of tears filling , her brown eyes. Instantly Shields | was compassionate. “See here, Celia, forget about it,’’ he told her roughly. “I didn’t want to hurt your feelings. Sure, you’ve got a right to do what you want to. Don’t think about it.” “T*hen you won’t call yourself a 'no-account’ any more and think I don’t want people to meet you?” “Not if it makes you feel badly. No, I won’t.” The young man looked embar- ; rasped. His voice was near tenderness and it was always embarrassing for Barney to show emotion. He changed the conversation to something about a building they were passing. When they were in front of the apartment where Evelyn Parsons lived Celia said with an effort: “Won’t you come up and meet Mrs. Parsons? She’s the friend I’m staying with.” Shields shook his head. “Thanks,” he said. “I’ll have to be getting along. Got a night assignment and I want to drop in at the office to see the boss.” Still he hesitated. “Why didn't you answer my note?” the girl asked.' “That? Oh, say, I’m sorry about that. All my fault! You see they keep us chasing in and out of town so much. I've been meaning to call you up, but somehow I didn’t get to it.” His tone was unconvincing, but Celia overlooked that. She said slowly, half smiling: “Well, you might aek when you’re going to see me again.” Barney grinned. “I’d like to see you tonight—if it weren’t for the Communists. Some sort of Red rally down on Fourteenth street that the office thinks is worth my valuable time.” “Are you going to make pictures?” “Yes. It’s likely to bust into a riot. That's why I’m to be there.” “Oh, Barney, maybe it’ll be dangerous!” non HE iaugiiect. “Nothing like that, child. Those guys go in for lots of oratory. but that’s about all. Maybe you’ll see some of my pictures in tomorrow’s papers.” “I'll look! Only it scares me to think of you going to such places.” “Say—if that's all I had to worry about. Why, this will be just nothing at all. Don't give it a thought. Honestly, I will try to call you up during the next few days. Maybe we can get together for dinner or see a show.” “I’d love that, Barney.” “Well, I’ll telephone. Got to be going now. So long.” Celia entered the building and rang the bell for the elevator. She felt happier than she had been for days. Barney was willing to be friends again. As the lift bore her upward she hummed a tune under her breath. Mrs. Parsons’ apartment was on the twenty-second floor. It faced westward, with a magnificent view of the crosstown skyline from the windows of the living room. The rooms were furnished in ultra modern manner. Squat, dark wooden tables and cabinets, low chairs and divans upholstered in blue and silver, curious metallic ornaments and hangings of eggshell gauze at the windows. Celia let herself in. She pulled off her hat, patted her hair into place and walked into the living room. “Oh, here you are!” Evelyn greeted her. “I’ve just sent Rose to bring tea. My dear, I'm simply exhausted! I’ve been in every shop on Fifty-seventh street looking for those ribbon sandals Fannie told me about. “You know she said she got them at Bendel’s, but that can’t be true, because they told me they haven’t even ordered any. I don’t know how I’m to get them. I simply went everywhere!” “Couldn’t you have them made?” “Well. I'm going tomorrow to Harrison’s. They made those blue

pumps every one thinks I bought abroad.” Evelyn sank back against | the divan. “I’m so worn out I’ve telephoned I won't be able to go to the Parkers’ ; this evening. They’ll have to get someone eles to make up the table. I couldn’t possibly play bridge!” “I’m glad we’re going to have tea,” Celia said. “I’d like some, too.” ! “Have you been walking?” “Yes, I went to the park and then j I got to looking in shop windows 1 and forgot all about the time.” a a a THE maid appeared with a large silver tray. She set it on the low table before Evelyn. “Um—macaroons! I love them!’ Celia exclaimed. Mrs. Parsons poured a cup of tea and handed it to the girl. “Macaroons are fattening,” Evelyn cautioned. “Yes, but not just one or two.” Celia helped'herself to the plate of cakes. “I’m glad you’re going to be here this evening,” she said. “Tod’s got something on and I was wondering what I could do to amuse myself. Evelyn sipped her tea. “Think I’ll lie down a while before dinner,” she said presently. She rose and left the room. From where Celia was sitting she could look across toward the western sky. The sun had sunk behind the horizon of jutting spires and masses of steel and concrete. Tire re were towers like fairyland, and others were monstrosities. The brilliant lights, to transform the top of the metropolis into a firmament, were not yet glowing. Celia lingered until the sun’s rays faided and the first gray of dusk appeared. Then she went to dress for dinner. There was half an hour. The meal would be served at 7 o’clock. She selected the blue chiffon, which was one of the frocks bought on her first shopping trip with Mrs. Parsons. Celia bathed and powdered and got into her fresh garments hurriedly. She was back in the living room before Evelyn. There was a ring at the door and the maid answered it. Celia recognized Lisi Duncan’s shrill soprano and hurried to meet her. “Lisi!” “H’lo sweetheart. Listen, you’ve got to let me dress here. I’m going to meet Dicky at 9:30. Brought my duds. See?” Lisi held up an overnight bag. Mrs. Parsons had entered from the opposite side of the room. “Good evening, Lisi,” she said. “I’m so glad you’ve come. Celia and I need company.” Lisi explained her errand. She put aside the overnight bag and went into dinner with Evelyn and Celia. Afterward she went to Celia’s bedroom and reappeared in a flaring gown of yellow taffeta. Lisi came into the room dancing. “Let’s have music!” she cried, beginning with a tapdance. Celia obligingly turned to the radio. A rousing fox trot filled the room. Lisi shifted her step to fit the rhythm. The tune ended. There was a pause and then the announcer cut in crisply: “We are interrupting the program at this time,” the voice said, “to report that fire costing from thirty to fifty lives tonight wrecked the building in which a Communist contention was being held at Fourteenth street and Third avenue. Victims were trapped when smoke cut off escape by a single stairway.” Celia waited no lpnger. “It’s Barney!” she gasped. “Come on!” (To Be Continued) WAR ON CANCER BY STATES ADVOCATED Public Health Groups Speaker Says Cure Not Yet in Sight. FORT WORTH, Tex., Oct. 28. Organization cf each state to fight cancer through its board of health, medical society and university, using educational programs and clinics as the weapons, was proposed by Dr. Joseph Colt Bloodgood, Baltimore, at the meeting here today of the American Public Health Association. “In spite of many laboratories throughout the world searching for a cure or means of prevention, nothing is in sight, and as yet there is no protection against death from cancer except education,” Dr. Bloodgood declared. He described in detail the Massachusetts state program for control of cancer. In this state the board of health is directed by law to maintain and advertise cancer clinics on a certain number of days throughout the year in as many localities as possible, and money has been appropriated for their maintenance.

'ARZAN AND THE JEWELS OF OPAR

Tlie apes sought comfortable couches beneath the forest shade and soon were as unforgettable of the recent events as though they had never happened. The two men had gone but a short distance beyond the glades where the apes were when the roarng of lions in the distance fell upon ths- ears The ape-man paid no attention to the familiar sounds until the crack of a rifle came faintly /rom the same direction. When this was follow ed by the shrill neighing of horses and ar. almost continuous fusillade of shots, he stopped short /

Now came the increased and savage roaring 01 a large troop of lions. ’ Someone is having trouble over there,” Tan,an said, turning to Werper. “I’ll have to go to them—Utiey may be friends.” “Your wife might be among them,” suggested the Belgian, for .ince he had again come into possession of the jewels of Opar he had constantly revolved in his mind some plan to elude this giant Englishman. At the suggestion Tsrzan started as though struck with a whip. “God,” he cried, “she might be, and the lions are attacking them.”

“Stay here, man—l will come back to you. I must first go to them,” and swinging into a tree the lithe figure sped rapidly away. Tor a mo ment Werper watched the disappearing apeman. Then a cunning smile crossed his lips—- “ Stay here?” he asked himself. “Stay here and wait" until' you retux* to find and take these jewels from me? • Not I! my friend, not I,’ and turning abruptly eastward Albert Werper passed through the foliage of a hanging vine and out, of the sight of his fellow men—forever.

As Tarzan of the Apes hurtled through the trees the discordant sounds of the battle between the Abyssinians and the lions smote hit l sensitive ears. It told him the conflict was critical, indeed. At last the glare of the camp fire shone plainly through the intervening trees and a moment later the giant figure of the ape-man paused upon an overhanging bough to look down upon the bloody scene of carnage below. His quick eye took it all In and stopped upon the figure of a woman standing facing a great lion.
