The Barents are divorced and Mrs Rogers Is a widow following a second marriage BARNEY SHIELDS voune newspaper photographer. Is In love with the girl. Mitchell asks EVELYN PARSONS, beautiful widow, to introduce his daughter to other young people. Mrs. Parsons agrees, considering Celia a means to win Mitchell’s affections. She soon becomes Jealous of the girl and schemes to get rid of her by encouraging a romance between Celt Band TOD JORDAN, fascinating, but of dubious character. Although Mitchell forbids Celia to see Jordan sne goes about with the young man freouentlj LISI DUNCAN, e girl of Celia’s agf. becomes her loyal friend. Shields comes to New York to work for a photographic service and meets Celia. Bhe tells him she has lost her heart to Jordan. Realisation that It Is really Shields *he loves comes to Celia when the young man Is Imprisoned In a burning building. He escapes unhurt except for * broken arm Mrs Parsons, who pretends to be friendly to Shields, goes to Mitchell and tells him Celia is meeting the voung man surreptitiously. That afternoon Celia and Shields are strolling together when Mitchell appears. He dismisses ■ the young man and takes Celia home. The girl takes a train for Baltimore and arrives at her former home to find her mother gone. She spends a day searching vainly for clews to Mrs. Rogers’ whereabouts. Mitchell arrives and father and daughter are reconciled. Mitchell promises to locate Mrs. Rogers and the two return to New York. Meanwhile in that city Mrs Parsons has Invited Shields to take dinner with her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FIFTY OARNEY SHIELDS strode Into the apartment living room with slightly nervous smile. His new evening clothes made him selfconscious. He was also a. trifle in awe of the beautiful Mrs. Parsons. “Good evening! Oh, Mr. Shields, this is sq good of you! I'm delighted that/you could come.’’ Evelyn's voice was low and melodious. She came to meet him looking like a gold and white Grecian goddess recreated in a modern setting. Her gown was sheer, draped on classic lines that nevertheless were subtly new. The dress was low cut, artfully following the figure. It lacked ornament of any sort. About her throat Evelyn \ % > a chain of sapphires and diamonds and there were sapphires in her enormous earrings. -Her hair looked radiantly golden in the lamplight. Shields could not fail to be impressed. “How do you do,” he said. “I thihk I’m lucky to b3 invited.” The daazling creature took his hand and held it for an instant. Then she motioned toward the davenport. "Won't you sit down? Dinner will be served very soon.’’ Barney dropped to the luxuriously cushioned seat. Mrs. Parsons took a chair close by. She knew at that angle the light on her face was flattering “I appreciate your coming.” she went an. “because I know how much in dem'vd good-looking young men are. and how frightfully the flapper crowd compete for them. Not many would be willing to share an evening with a woman of my age.” 'Oh, but Mrs. Parsons, you're not old!” The words were not gallantly framed, but they were sincere. "Why, you can't be—well, more than a year or two older than Tam!” “My dear boy! Certainly" f must reward you for that.” She lifted a silver shaker from a tray and filled twp fragile glasses. Ooe she handed to the young man. “Shall we drink to youth?” she asked, smiling. Shields answered her glance. “No —to beauty!” Evelyn's low laugh rippled delightfully. “Now I know some girl is intensely jealous of me! I don't know when I've heard so many compliments. I shall set you down as a deliberate heart breaker.” Shields grinned. “Oh, but I don't go around with girls at all! I don’t even know 1 any—except Celia. Never did have much to-do with girls except her. Where is Celia?” ‘Oh, I forgot you didn't know. Really. I’m surprised she didn’t tell you. Celia's spending a couple days in the country with friends. It's a gay young crowd she's been seeing quite a lot of. "You know Celia's awfully popular. For a girl of—well, rather limiter social experience she surprises me every day. She seems to have just that little touch that arouses men's interest—and keeps them interested. “You know, she seems to be such a child and quite naive when actually she knows perfectly what she's doing. She has a way of making every man believe she likes him best. Celia's going to go far socially!”

“QHE— she's quite popular, is she?” “Why, of course! But then you must know that. You’re such old friend I’m sure you know Celia as well as I do. Really, I'm extremely fond of the child!” Barney Shield's eyes were averted. “Mevbe I don’t know her as well as I thought I did,” he said ; slowly. Dinner was announced. Evelyn was vivacious and smiling as she sat opposite the young man across a table of crystal, silver and gleaming linen. When the conversation seemed to lag Mrs. Parsons asked questions about his work. He was to spend several days more in idleness, Barney said, indicating his displeasure. A photographer with one arm in a sling was of lit- ; tie use. He was going to the office for a time every day and was be- | coming familiar with some of the offlee routine. The young man talked eagerly of j the increasing possibilities of phoI tographv. The whole world was becoming eye-minded, he said. The i United States already depended on photographs for first-hand knowl- : edge of distant events. He spoke of technical improvements that were being made. Barney forgot that to his listener a I camera was a black box behind ! which a foreign gentleman stood and threw a black cape over his head, saying. “Look pleasant, please.” He became eloquent over a superior, impressively expensive lens | and his own theories of timing. Mrs. Parsons appeared to be greatly interested. At last she reminded him they had finished dessert and the meal was ended. As thfey returned to the living room Barney still eagerly w'as explaining how the camera caught “action pictures.” “You know I neve: dreamed your work was fascinating!” Evelyn said. “Well, of course, it is to me. Lots of folks think it’s pretty dull. I like to talk to a person like you, Mrs. Parsons. You understand. “You know I've got three or four pictures I’d like to show to you. There’s that cloud stuff I made during the air circus. They got me my job with Apex. Then there’s a parachute leap and a shot I made of an engine. Would you like to see them?” “I’d love to!” “Some time I’ll show them to you. Os course they’re not wonderful, but —well, I’m sort of proud of ’em.” “Then I know they must be very fine.” Evelyn lifted a box of cig.arets and offered Shields one. There was a lighter on the table. Shields flipped the mechanism until it producer a flame, held it to light Evelyn's cigaret and then touched his own. He drew a deep breath of smoke, exhaling slowly. Mrs. Parsons poured two more cocktails* “You’re going to be a very successful young man,” she said. “You’re going to make a name for yourself.” “Well, if I am, it’s a long way off now.” a an SHIELDS lifted his glass. Evelyn Parsons drank at the same time, eyeing the young man over ! the rim of the goblet. She was 1 smiling. “May I call you Barney” she | asked. “Os course. That's what every- 1 one calls me. Makes me uncomfortable when I hear folks say Mr. Shields. Impulsively Barney leaned forward. “You've been awfully nice to me,” he said boyishly. “You seem to understand things. There’s one thing I want to know terribly. You can tell me. Will you do it?” “Why, my dear boy. If there’s any way that I can—of course I will!” “Thanks. You see I could talk to you aboutht better than to anybody else.” Shields had put down his glass and his gray eyes were solemn. “I’m awfully fond of Ce- ! lia.” he began, and then hesitated. “Naturally. We all are!” “Yes, but you see I feel differently. Well, anyhow, I mean listen, Mrs. Parsons, what I want ! to ask you is do you think Celia i cares anything about me?” “I'm sure she's fond of you—” “Oh, but that ish't what I mean! I love Celia! I always have ever since the day I met her. Do you —do you think she'd marry me?” “Oh!” The exclamation was sharp, high-pitched. “She must have said something

to you about the way she feels," Shields persisted. “You've seen her with these other fellows. Tell me! Do you think I have a chance?” ‘But didn't you know?” Evelyn exclaimed. ‘Oh, I’m so sorry! My dear boy, I thought of course you knew—” “Knew what?” 'Why—oh, I don't know what to say! I supposed of course she had told you. Celia assured me you and she were such close friends!”.“What is it she didn't te” me? What do you mean? ’ Evelyn Parsons took the _young man’s hands in hers. “This hurts me, deeply,” she said in a moving voice. “I do think Celia should have told you herself. Os course it’s not announced generally yet, but j Celia's to be married. I supposed you knew!” “Married? You mean Celia's ■ promised someone else? They're engaged? Oh, I suppose it’s that Jordan!” a u tt EVELYN grasped at the suggestion. “Yes,” she said. “She’s going to marry Tod Jordan. Perhaps I shouldn’t have said anything. Perhaps I should have let her be the one!” \- Barney Shields shook his head gloomily. “No, it's better to know, since it’s true. I suppose I might have guessed! ” He was silent, leaning back in his chair and staring straight ahead. Evelyn looked at Shields uncertainly. She lifted the shaker and refilled his glass. He took it, drank it without a word. “If there were only anything I could do,” Evelyn murmured. “There isn’t!” Suddenly the young man rose to his feet. “Well, Mrs. Parsons,” he said with a forced voice, “it was certainly kind of you to have me here. I’d better be getting along now. Hope I didn't bore you with all that talk about photographs.” “I enjoyed every word of it! Must you go?” “Yes, I think I’ll have to be on my way.” \ ‘You’ll come again, won’t you? Celia will be back in a day or two I’m sure.” Barney smiled ironically. “I’d like to,” he” said, “but I imagine Celia ■will be rather busy. Good nigh t Mrs. Parsons, and thank you again,” “C'ood night.” Evelyn’s hand closed over the , young man’s and clung for an instant, but it was only too evident that though his eyes were on hers, he did not really see her. Quickly he turned and left the apartment. It was an hour later that John Mitchell and his daughter arrived. Mrs. Parsons greeted them cordially, kissed Celia and assured the girl she was delighted to see her. There was a littlfe talk and then Mitchell departed. Celia went to the room she had called hers. Everything was as she had left it. She undressed, bathed and got into bed. Before she turned the light out Evelyn knocked. “Celia,” she said as she opened the door, “I just wanted to tVI you, dear, that I’m terribly sorry for the way things turned out the other day. Truly, I thought I was acting for the best! “I thought I’d have more influence with your father, if he believed I didn’t know Barney. It was just a little plot for your benefit, darling. I’ve been miserable ever since.” “That’s all right,” Celia said sleepily. “You dear!” Evelyn stooped and kissed the girl’s cheek before she departed. The following day was to prove ; eventful.

The youth Lukedi remained, apparently fascinated by the prisoner at whom he stood staring, as he might have stared at a deity. Tarzan reached for the gourd and drank the milk it contained, and never once did Lukedi take his eyes from him. “What is your name?” asked Tarzan. "Lukedi,” replied the youth. “And you have never heard of Tartan of the Apes?” “No,” he replied.

"Who do you think l am?” demanded the apeman. ‘ know that you belong to the Lost Tribe,” said Lukedi, “but you do not wear clothes like the members of the Lost Tribe.” "What will they do with me?” Tarzan asked. "There is no doubt that you will be burned alive so your spirit can not haunt us,” said the boy. “We do not want you to pome back'to us in the form of a snake or lion.r

As darkness settled upon the village Tarzan stretched himself upon the dirt .loor of the hut, going immediately to sleep rather than fretting at impending danger From childhood he had shared with the beasts, among whom he had been reared, the ability to awaken quickly and in full command of his faculties. He awoke now, immediately conscious that the noise that had aroused him came fr§m the roof.
