JOHN MITCHELL, 1a New York The parents are divorced and Mrs. Rogers Is a widow, following a second marriage. BARNEY SHIELDS, young newspaper photographer. Is in love with the girl. Mitchell asks EVELYN PARSONS, beautiful widow, to introduce his daughter to other voung people. Mrs. Parsons agrees considering Celia a mean* to win Mitchell's affections She toon becomes jealous of the girl and schemes to get rid of her by encouraging a romance between Celia and TOD JORDAN, fascinating but of dubious character. Although Mitchell forbids Celia to see Jordan she goes about with the young man frequently. USI DUNCAN, a girl of Celia's age. becofhes her loyal friend. field# comes to New York to work for photographic service and meets Celia, e tells him she has lost her heart to Jordan. Celia. Llsl and Mrs. Parsons are together one evening when they hear a radio report of a disastrous fire In a building where Shields Is working. Celia Insists on going to the scene and the others follow . Later Celia and List go to Shields’ offlre where he finally arrives, unhurt except for a broken arm. Next morning Shields telephones and promises to call that afternoon NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FORTY-THREE FOR an hour before Barney came, Celia waited Impatiently. She had spent a restless night and slept little, but she was not aware that she was tired. Reaction from the excitement of the last twenty-four hours had not yet set in. Celia had made a discovery, and everything else In the world paled into unimportance. She knew she loved Barney Shields. Her heart had sung his name all morning. Barney Shields! Barney with the gray eyes that laughed at pain and hardship! Barney, so strong and self-reliant! Barney, who never failed! Her Barney! Hearing his voice over the telephone that morning had been like hearing it for the first time. Celia had laughed and promised eagerly that she would be waiting for him, but all that she wanted to tell him remained unsaid. Had he guessed? Was it possible that Barney did not know how everything in the world had changed when he himself was the center of that transformation? One minute she hoped he understood. The next she was in a fever of impatience to tell him her heart was his completely. At luncheon Evelyn Parsons noted the girl’s heightened color, her preoccupied manner. Shrewdly she made deductions. "Have you had any news from the young man who was in the fire?” she asked casually. "Barney? Oh, yes, he telephoned. The doctor set his arm and put it in a sling, but he says it isn’t a bad break. He’s coming this afternoon. I mean Barney, not the doctor.” < I “How nice! I’m anxious to meet him. “Oh, I want you to! You’ll like Barney, too. Everybody does. He's going to be here at 3.” “At 3? Well, I must certainly manage to say ‘how do you do’ at least.” Mrs. Parsons turned the conversation into other channels, but she continued to watch Celia and take stock of her observations. For one thing, the girl was not eating. Twice she started when she was spoken to, and then flushed and stumbled in her apologies. There was a far-away look in Celia’s dark eyes. Oh, yes, the signs were all there! a a a LISI had departed immediately after breakfast. It was Mrs. Parsons’ custom to spend the hours after luncheon either shopping or at bridge. Celia had set 3 o’clock as the time for Barney’s call, confident they would not be interrupted. “Are you going out?” she asked as she and Evelyn left the luncheon table. "A little later. There are some letters I really must attend to first.” Celia mumbled something about a manicure and slipped away to her bedroom. She wanted to be alone. Instead of getting out buffer and file bi.e curled up in the one large chair the room boasted and tried to plan exactly what her first words to Barney would be. She would welcome him at the door herself. It would help to overcome Barney’s impression that she lived surrounded by elegance and luxury far beyond him. Guiltily Celia remembered the afternoon before when he had made it plain he thought she did not want to introduce him to her new friends. Os course she had tried to avoid meeting Tod Jordan. At thought of Jordan the girl realized she faced another problem. Tod would have to be told she had been mistaken in saying she cared for him.

It amazed Celia to discover how detached and impersonal her feeling toward Jordan had become. She had forgotten him completely and now that she remembered,, his name brought no quickening of emotion. Jordan simply was a young man she had danced and driven and strolled with. Hcjv could she have imagined she cared more for him ! than for Barney? A whole train of frightened re- ; flections followed. What was this bewildering thing called love? She had believed herself "in love” with Barney before she came to New York. Then she had met Jordan and told herself she was "in love” with him. Neither of those affections was anything like the overwhelming emotion which stirred her. There was no doubt that this was love—real love, based on admiration, loyalty, her deep need of Barney, and a prayer that Barney might need her. But it was alarming to know that one could make mistakes about! love, and to know that one could change. Celia remembered how Barney Shields had said he loved her, and complained that her affection was not so deep as his own. Oh, but that had been months before! War> it possible Barney’s feelings had altered? For one dreadful moment the suspense lasted. Then Celia forced a little laugh and sprang up from the chair. There was no reason why she should doubt Barney. She herself might make mistakes, but Barney (bless his precious heart!) would never fail her. A sudden longing that was both ecstasy and pain swept over her. She wanted to feel his arms about her, to tell Barney that he was dearer to her than life, to hear over and over again that he would never go away. Celia began to dress. As she busied herself before the mirror her thoughts leaped forward. She planned the meeting at which she would introduce Barney to her father. John Mitchell would approve of the young man, she felt sure, because Barney had a profession of which he was proud, and in which he was succeeding. Frequently Mitchell had made clear what he tholight of youths who were content to amuse themselves at sports, idly wasting incomes acquired by hard-working ancestors.

'T'HE girl glanced up and caught her reflections. The face in the glass smiled back at her. There was no need to apply rouge today. Her cheeks were pink, and surely her eyes had never been so bright. She got out her newest frock, slipped it over her shoulders and then hastily put it aside for another. The second dress was rose-colored quite as expensive as the other, but simpler. Celia remembered that Barney Shields had praised her in the little home-made dress of rose that her mother had fashioned. As she stood taking a final survey of herself and patting into place a curl equally decorative in its unruly state, she heard a tap on the door. “Who is it?” Celia called. Rose, Evelyn’s maid, answered. “Mrs. Parsons asked if you could step into her room, Miss Celia.” “Tell her I’ll be right in.” Celia looked at her watch. Twelve minutes of three. Then she hurried to Evelyn. Mrs. Parsons was seated at her desk. She looked particularly well in a dark blue satin gown with creamy lace at the throat. Sunlight, shining through the window, had given her a golden halo. As Celia opened the door she looked up, smiling. “Dear child!” she exclaimed, “what would I do without you? I’ve been in perfect agony for half an hour trying to make these figures come out right. Do add them for me, won’t you? You’re so clever and I’m hopeless at such things!” Frequently Evelyn had found occasion to profit from Celia’s business training. Now she held up a sheaf of papers and a memorandum pad. The papers were bills. “I know they should come to the same figure,” Mrs. Parsons continued, “but I simply can not make them.” “I’ll try it,” Celia agreed. Mrs. Parsons promptly relinquished the desk chair. The figures on the memorandum pad were unintelligible. Celia saw at once she would have to go through the stack of bills and tabulate the amounts. She glanced at her watch again.

Perhaps if she worked swiftly she could finish in time. “111 slip outside so as not to interrupt,” Evelyn said, and disappeared. a —a a THE mathematical problem before Celia was complicated. Furthermore, she was impatient and made two errors at the start. She caught them, began calculations once more, and suddenly heard the ringing of the door bell. Ten minutes after 3 and she had not finished. It was Barney, of course. Celia rose. There was no reason why Evelyn's bills should be balanced immediately. She was disgusted with herself for having undertaken the task. Her heart beat loudly and for a minute she waited to steady herself. Then she went into the living room. Barney was sitting with his back toward her, talking to Evelyn. Mrs. Parsons saw the girl. “Oh, here you are, Celia!” she said sweetly. "You have company. This young man and I have introduced ourselves, and he’s been giving me the most amazing account of that terrible fire. You must hear it!” “Good afternoon, Barney!” Celia said. It was not the speech she had planned. Shields was on his feet. He took the girl’s hand and smiled his goodhumored smile. “How do you do?” he greeted her with unusal formality. The young man’s left arm hung in a sling. "This is a queer time for me to be making a call,” Shields added, “but I’m going to play gentleman for a few days. They tell me I haven’t any job until this bum arm begins to behave.” “You’re not—discharged?” He laughed at the alarm in the girl’s voice. “No, no! Nothing like that. Matter of fact, Wagner says I’m going to have a raise. Did you see the pictures in the Telegram? They were mine. Gave the one of the little girl a big play. The boss was rather complimentary.” “Oh, Barney, I’m so glad!” “How splendid!” Evelyn Parsons joined in. Barney looked embarrassed under praise. He turned the conversation to the fire again. Celia waited impatiently for Mrs. Parsons to leave them. Evidently Evelyn had forgotten her engagement. She did not depart, and at 4 o’clock when Barney said he must keep an. appointment with the doctor, Mrs. Parsons offered to take him in her car. The afternoon, unsatisfactory as it was to Celia, had a more unpleasant sequel. (To Be Continued.) PUBUCHEALTH CARE IS URGED Universally Neglected, Is Report to Doctors. Bv Science Service FT. WORTH, Tex., Oct. 31. The national health is a dollars and cents asset to the country, Dr. Louis I. Dublin, statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Comany, told members of the American Public Health Association at their annual meeting here Thursday night. Absence of disease in a city not only makes it a more desirable place to live but also brings added citizens and increased Industry to it. The expenditure of $2.50 per capita or a total of about $300,000,000 every year would be enough to bring the best public health practices to the people of the United States. At present, however, we are spending less than $1 per capital for public health each year. “We as a nation are notorious for our large outlays of every character, but we are not spending enough for health, Dr. Dublin said. "Our annual candy bill has been estimated as high as $690,000,000; perfumes and cosmetics consume another half a billion and our tobacco bill is rapidly approaching the two billion mark, if it has not passed that point already." Three Motorists Hart nv Times Svecial NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Oct. 31. Miss Dorothy Rider was badly bruised and Frances Hinkle suffered a broken cheek bone and bruises when Hinkle’s automobile struck another car. Abraham Potts of Chicago, is in a hospital here with a broken collar bone and other injuries which he suffered when the car in which he and Mrs. Potts were riding on federal road No. 31 in northwestern Hamilton county, was struck by a Union Traction Company bus driven by Joseph Cook of Indianapolis. Several bus passengers were unhurt.

TARZAN AND THE JEWELS OF OPAR

In the silence of mingled joy and sorrow they passed along through the familiar jungle. As the afternoon was waning there came faintly' to the ears of the ape-man the murmuring cadence of distant voices. Half an hour later the two came upon a horde of ebony warriors which Basuli had collected for his war of vengeance upon the raiders. With them were the captured women of their tribe, rescued from the Arabs’ Village, and tall," even among the giant Waziri, loomed a familiar black form.

It was Mugambl, who Jane had thought dead amidst the charred ruins of the bungalow. Ah, such a reunion!' Long into the night the dancing, singing and laughter awoke the somber echoes of the woods Again and again were the stories of their various adventures retold. Dawn was already breaking when Basuli for the fortieth time gleefully related how he and a handful of his warriors had watched the battle for the golden ingots which the Abyssinians of Abdul Mourak had waged against the Arab raiders of Achmet Zek.

How, when the victors had ridden away, they had sneaked out of the river woods and stolen away with the precious ingots to hide them where no robber eye could discover them. Pieced out from the fragments of their various experiences with the Belgian, Lieutenant Werper, the truth concerning his malign activities became clear. “Lost are the jewels of Opar forever,” smiled Tarzan. ‘Much good may they do the villain!” The golden ingots of Opar were restore j as were the lives of those dear to him and Tarzan was happy.

Busy weeks were to follow. The willing hands of laughing laborers, made happy again by the return of the master and mistisss they had mourned dead, restored che ruined bungalow and farmhouse for the “Big Bwana.” Life took on again the former peaceful, happy existence Lord and Lady Graystok; had known before the renegade Werper betrayed their hospitality and the jewels of Opar hac been discovered in the temple vaults of the Sun Worshipers. But one more page was to unfold before the jewels of Opor’s tale was told.
