NOW GO ON WITH THE STOEY CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO CELIA caught Llsi's arm and drew her back. "Wait for me, you two,” site said to List and Jordan. "There's someone I want to -ahe hurried to where Shields stood. . He had turned away and did not see her approach. Celia touched his sleeve. "Barney!” she said. "I'm so glad to find you here. I don’t think you •understood this morning!” Shields met her eyes directly. ' How do you do, Miss Mitchell.” His tone was coolly polite. "Oh, I know there's something wrong! What is it? Barney, I want to talk to you—” He stopped her. “You are mistaken.” he said. “I do understand .-—everything. Under the circum- . stances surely there is nothing more for cither of us to say.” Celia looked at him. A nervous laugh caught in her throat. “Please don’t try to now,” she said. “You—why I almost thought you meant it! You frightened me!” “I beg your pardon,” the young man answered, still formally. "I had no intention of appearing humorous, but I suppose I, am from your viewpoint.” "Why, Barney !" Suddenly Barney Shields lost his pose of frigid dignity. "Look here, Celia.” he said, "hadn’t you better be going back to your society playmates? You know you don’t really mean a word you're saying. I fell for it once, yes. But that doesn’t mean I’ll do it over again! What’s the idea, of pretending anyhow?” Disbelief, then terror crossed the g rl's face. ‘"What, do you mean?” she cried. "Has someone been .telling you things that aren’t true?” ’• * "No one’s been telling me anything I shouldn't have seen for myself.” Celia caught his arm. “But it’s all wrong!” she insisted. Shields stepped back. “Rather ’ too public a place to become emotional. isnt it?” he said quietly. “Besides. I’m sure we understand ~ each other. May I bid you good afternoon?” “Just a minute.” Now it was the girl whose words were slow, tense ..with restrained anger. Celia’s face had gone white. “I believe I begin to see what you mean. You're trying to tell me that—every things over! Is that, it?” f "Well, if you insist on plain terms —” "Don’t bother about trying to spare my feelings. Oh. I sec I have made a mistake. A great one. And it’s better that we shouldn’t see each other again. Very much better!” a a a Ci ELI A paused for a moment, but < Shields did not speak. "My friends are waiting." she said. "They'll be wondering why I'm so slow Goodbv, Barney.” “Goodby.” Neither seeing nor hearing anything around her. Celia walked away. She held her head high. Though her lips trembled she was determined not to give way to tears. ' A terrific sensation that everything in the world had stopped overwhelmed her. The blurred objects ahead meant nothing. The only tiling was to get away. Celia reached the entrance of the hotel. She did not see Lisi Duncan rtr Jordan until she heard Lisi’s voice. "Darling, we've waited an age. What were you doing—writing your /memoirs?”

Jordan laughed, but stopped short as he caught the expression on Celia’s face. “Is anything wrong?” he asked. "Don't you feel well?” Her answer was forced. “Nothing’s wrong. I'm feeling perfectly all right.” “You’re sure?” “Why, of course. Hadn’t we better be starting?” Lisi put her hand on her friend's arm. “Say—you are pale around the gills! Let's get out in the fresh air. Maybe that’ll help.” They stepped out on the street. At the doorman's signal a cab drew near and halted. Jordan helped the two girls in and followed. “You can leave me at Celia’s,” Lisi said. I’ve got my car there. If you’re going anywhere Tod, I’ll give you a lift.” “Thanks, but I’d rather not bother you.” “No, bother! And you may have some entertainment. I had an interesting session with a traffic cop this morning. I hope he’s off duty by this time.” Jordan's eyes were on Celia. “I think you’re all in, honey,” he said to her. “Here—lean against my arm. Isn't that better?” Celia murmured something about a sudden headache. It was more comfortable against Jordan's arm. Over and over she told herself that she must not think. There would be time for that later. She must fight of! all thought of what had happened until the others had gone. Lisi, too, was sympathetic. They rode In silence until they reached the apartment. As the cab drew away Jordan said in a low tone to Celia: “You’ve been very unkind lately.” “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be.” “But you haven’t let me see you or answered any of my calls. Does that mean you’re angry?” “Why—No. Os course not.” “Then can I come for you tomorrow afternoon? We’ll drive somewhere. Anywhere you say. It’s beginning to look like fall up in Westchester.” “Tod, I think I’d better go in. I really am tired.” “I know. But first say it will be all right about tomorrow I” He was holding one of her hands. “Please, Celia!” a a a SHE knew that she must get away. Already her eyes were misted. Without trusting herself to speak Celia nodded affirmatively. “You’re a darling! I’ll be here at 3.” Lisi had been waiting at a discreet distance. Now she came forward. “My car’s down there at the left,” she told Tod. “We’d better trundle along and let Celia make for the aspirin. I’m frightfully sorry the afternoon went bad on you, pet.” Celia said good-bye. even magaging a smile that was pathetic instead of cheerful. Then she turned and entered the building. There was no one in sight W’hen she let herself into Evelyn’s apartment. Celia went directly to her own room and closed the door behind her. She threw off her hat and sank into a chair. There was no light in the room except a reflected glow of electricity from across the court. Celia stared straight ahead. Now that she was alone she was dry-eyed. No balm of tears offered surcease to this agony. Barney was through with her. She w r as staring at the wall, but she could see Barney Shields’ eyes as he said the words: “Well, if you insist on plain terms !” He meant it. Oh. Celia knew that Barney meant every word of it! She wondered why she could not cry out. Why she could not do something! The dark walls closed in about her like so many hideous gaping faces. She stood up, head thrown back and hands clenched together. “Oh!” Celia cried desperately, “dear God. don’t let it be——!” She threw her self into the chair again, sobbing out her misery. After a time she rose, turned on the light and mechanically began to dress for dinner. She discarded her frock and threw out another without noticing either of them. She changed her oxfords for evening pumps and dusted her face and neck with powder. Celia moved w T ith nervous energy. The stabbing pain in her breast did not lessen. Her entire body ached. There was a knock on the door and Celia recognized the maid’s voice: “Dinner, Miss Celia.” “I’ll be there immediately.” She glanced at her watch and
saw It was ten minutes past the dinner hour. Celia straightened her shoulders and went to the living room. Mrs. Parsons stood with her back toward the room gazing out the window. She turned as the girl entered. “Celia—l was beginning to wonder if you’d made other plans for dinner!” “Sorry to be late. I didn't realize how the time was going.” They went in and sat down to dinner. tt tt tt “rNID you like the play?” Evelyn asked. Celia looked blank. Then she remembered that she had been to the theater. “Oh, yes. Yes, I liked it very much.” “Sorry you weren’t here for tea. Your father dropped in and asked for you.” The lethargy left Celia’s face. 'Oh, did he have any news about my mother? Do you know if he’s heard anything?” Evelyn Parsons’ blue eyes chilled slightly. “Why, no. He didn’t say anything about your mother, Were you expecting he would” Celia nodded. “I guess I didn’t tell you before,” she said. “He promised to find her. Father said he’d do everything in the world-to bring her back and you know there isn’t anything he can't do. “I suppose it may take a few days though. It's too soon to expect he’s had any news yet.” There was a pause and then Mrs. Parsons said: “That’s—interesting.” “You see w r e're afraid she isn’t well and that something may have happened to her!” the girl went on earnestly. “It’s terrible not even to know where she is!” “Yes. Os course.” There was no more said about the subject. Evelyn asked questions about the performance and Celia answered as best she could. Presently both of them lapsed into silence. Celia was reviewing over and over the conversation with Barney, and the older woman apparently was busy with her thoughts. Dessert was a delicately flavored fruit compote, but neither of them did it justice. They rose from the table and returned to the living room. Celia poured the coffee and gave a cup to Mrs. Parsons. “Thanks, dear. Would you mind handing me the lighter?” Celia brought the metal cylinder. Evelyn lighted a cigaret, held it to her lips and blew a series of airy smoke wreaths before she spoke again. “I suppose you’re very anxious about your mother, aren’t you?” she said. “I try not to be,” Celia answered. “I know it’s foolish to worry and it can't help.” Evelyn Parsons flicked the ash from her cigaret. “1 think there's something you should know,” she said slowly. “Your father has asked me to be his wife.” (To Be Continued) MANY METEORS DOE Shower of Shooting Stars Is Probable. By Science Service WASHINGTON. Nov. 11.—Unusually large numbers of meteors within the next week or so may presage a great meteor shower in 1933 or 1934, comparable with those in November, 1799, 1833 and 1866. After having forecast a brilliant display in 1899, and having unforeseen effects prevent it, astronomers are not hazarding any predictions. But it is quite possible that a great shower, in which the whole sky will appear to be covered with shooting stars, may come within a few years, and, if so, this month should see a larger number of these particular meteors than recent years. For that reason astronomers, and the large body of amateurs who help them observe meteors,; are preparing to watch for them. On the nights of Friday, Nov. 14, and Saturday, Nov. 15, these meteors can be seen. Unfortunately for people who retire early, the greatest display of the meteors comes after midnight, because of the rotation of the earth. FESS BLAMED FOfTvOTE Cited by Labor Organ as. Reason for G. O. P. Loss in Ohio. WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—Senator Fess of Ohio, chosen by President Hoover as chairman of the Republican national committee, is blamed by Labor official organ of the Railway Brotherhoods, for the Republicans’ loss of Ohio in the recent elections. “Probably Senator Fess himself is as much responsible for the debacle in Ohio as any man living,” Labo rsays in an editorial. “He was sent to the senate in 1922 because the railroad workers supported him. There never has been a time since then when he has not been against labor and in favor of everything demanded by ‘big business.’ ”
TARZAN AND THE LOST EMPIRE
The following morning Lukedi came to the hut with another gourd of milk. He pointed to the low doorway of the hut. "Look,” he said, from here you can see them placing the stake to. which you are to be bound, and the boys are in the forest gathering fagots.” “Go to your chief,” said 7am4j. “and tell him I am not from the Lost Tribe. He must treat me as a friend.”

As the youth reached the doorway of the hut, there suddenly arose a great commotion in the village. Tarzan heard men issuing orders. He heard children crying and the pounding of many naked feet upon the hard ground. Then the war drujms boomed and he heard the clashing of weapons and loud shouting. The guards who were at the doorway sprang -tc their feet.
—By Williams
Within the hut Lukedi shrank back with a cry of terror. “They come! They come!” he cried. Tarzan saw the guards disappear and run off to join the other warriors. Lukedi, trembling all over, ran to the far side of the hut. where he crouched in gibbering fear. “Who come?” Tarzan asked. “The warriors of the Lost Tribe!” Lukedi shrieked.

Tarzan looked out of the hut upon a milling mass of brown bodies, waving spears, and terrified women and children. He saw the Bagego fleeing in all directions. Strange figures passed before his eyes in pursuit. For a time there was silence, a hurrying of feet, an occasional command, and a wild scream at Isnwr.
