The Interview ends with the understanding that all Is over between them. That evening Mrs. Parsons announces to Ceiia that Mitchell has asked her to marry him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE YOU mean—!” Celia began and then she stepped. From the expression of Evelyn Parsons’ lace there was no doubt that what the woman had said was true. Mrs. Parsons laughed and the sound was strident. “I mean just what I said,” Evelyn continued. "Your father has asked me to be his wife—and I have accepted. I must say I’m disappointed, Celia. You don't look very pleased!” The girl was staring at her. For a moment she said nothing. Then she leaned forward eyeing Evelyn appealingly and the words burst forth: ‘‘But I thought—l mean when mother comes back—oh, Evelyn, it wouldn’t be right! You wouldn’t do such a thing! Mother loves him still. I know she does!” Evelyn Pars on s’ shoulders straightened. “So you disapprove!” she said coldly. “Really, my dear, I think it would have been more polite if you concealed your feelings. After all, your father and I are both grown adults able to think lor ourselves. I had no idea you disliked me so much!” Oh, it isn’t that! Os course I don’t dislike you. Please don't think me ungrateful for all you've done! But don’t you see what they both mean to me? Mother—” “There is no need for you to say any more. And I shall tell you frankly that, if your mother were in this very room tonight, begging me to give him up ( it would not alter my plans in the slightest. “Do you think I’d let your father make a fool of himself over that woman a second time? Do you think I have no feelings? No rights? Why do you cling to this ridiculous notion that your father and mother, separated when you were a child, would be any happier together now? "I tell you it's preposterous. They made one mistake, discovered it and parted. Do you think you could possibly bring them together again? No!" Mrs. Parsons’ eyes flashed. Anger had gotten the better of her usual suavity. The exhibition of temper held Celia spellbound. “John and I love each other,” Evelyn went on. “It will be useless for you to attempt to interfere. John’s been devoted to me for years. Really. Celia. I should think you'd consider his happiness even If you do dislike me!” "You mustn’t say that, Evelyn. T do like you. It's just that it’s such a surprise. T was startled.” nan BUT why should you be surprised? Surely you must have known he was fond of me. Why. I've been putting him off for months! “I had to respect Dwight's memory. but it’s a year since he left me —or practically a year. John and Dwight were such friends. That’s one reason I feel the hand of fate is guiding me. “Os course it will be some time before the engagement can even be announced. You must promise me, Celia, not to speak of it!” “I won't tell any one," Celia agreed. “It would mortify me frightfully if the news got out. Os course I felt that you should know at once.” “I'm glad you told me,” the girl said slowly. “1 suppose it changes everything, doesn't it?” “Well, in some ways. In the first place I shall insist that John must stop killing himself in that office. He's made himself a slave and it's

because there's been no one to guard his health and make him take time for recreation. “I'm planning six months abroad immediately after we’re married. The Orient would be a wonderful change for Kim, don’t you think so? I’m sure it would do him good. “And everything will work out nicely, because you can stay with your grandmother. I’m sure you'd prefer to be in town anyhow and when we’re here we’ll probably spend most of our time at Larchwood. “Really, I think it’s only fair to jnu. You’ll develop so much more witnetd having us to depend upon.” Celia wa** rilent. Mrs. Parsons ha? recovered her composure. After a moment she said softly: “Celia, you’re going w wish us happiness, aren’t you? Remember, you’re going to be marrying one of these days yourself.” “I wish you—ever happiness.” “But, my dear, you don’t seem very cheerful!” The girl’s eyelashes lowered. “I keep thinking about my mother,” she said. “Father promised me he'd do everything in the world to find her.” “Then he’ll keep his promise. Naturally your father would not allow the woman who once was his wife to remain in want. You know him well enough for that!” For an instant their eyes met. “Do you love him a great deal?” Celia asked tremulously. “Oh, my dear —if you only knew!” The girl rose and walked to the window which faced westward. She could stand there with her back toward Evelyn pretending to look out at the night until she forced the tears back. There were great hot drops on her cheek. Celia brushed them aside casually. Then she turned. “I didn’t make plans for the evening,” Mrs. Parsons said, glancing up, “because I thought it would mean a great deal to both of us to keep it uninterrupted. It makes me happy to know you’re looking at the situation unselfishly.” The dart found its target. “I suppose I have been selfish,” Celia admitted, “but I didn’t mean to be! I must see father tomorrow and congratulate him.” Evelyn started. “Oh, no! Promise me you won’t do that,” she exclaimed. “You see, dear, I have a confession. Your father wanted to be the first to tell you the news. I agreed, but afterward when he said he didn't want you to know until just before the announcement was made public I felt he was wrong. That’s why I made up my mind to tell you myself. Os course, you can’t blame John! He doesn’t understand how a girl would feel about such a thing.” “Oh. I see.” nun THE quick glance of Evelyn Parsons was apprehensive. “You are glad I told you, aren’t you?” she asked. “Os course.” “I was sure of it. It’s just the sort of thing you couldn’t expect a man to understand. And when he tells you himself, you won’t let him dream you suspected, will you?” •Well, I’ll do the best I can to keep him from guessing.” “That’s a dear girl. You see, you and I must stand together. And we're going to! Give me your word, Celia, that you won't mention anything I've said to your father.” “Word of honor.” Evelyn heaved a little sigh and smiled. “I wonder what I did with that book on contract bridge that Fannie loaned me,” she said after an interval. “Have you seen it anywhere?” Celia shook her head. “I’ll help you look,” she offered. She did not prove useful lri the search. Mrs. Parsons found the volume without assistance and settled down with it before a i-eading lamp. Celia chose a magazine and curled up on the davenport. She opened the pages and looked down at them, but the lines of type might have been invisible. She neither read nor saw them. Her hands were icy and Celia clenched them together. The pain in her heart had begun again. Everything was lost. Everything in the world that she cared about was gone. With Barney beside her Celia felt she could have faced her father’s remarriage, even though it severed ties from Margaret Rogers. Now—what was there left? At the earliest possible moment the girl excused herself. Before she left the room Evelyn Parsons drew Celia down beside her and kissed the girl’s forehead. “Happy dreams, dear!” she said smiling. “Good night!” Celia replied and went to her bedroom.

She undressed and got into bed, but she could not sleep. It was toward dawn when at last she drifted off into troubled slumber. Consequently she awoke late next morning and there were shadows under the brown eyes. After she had breakfasted Celia moved about restlessly. At 11 o’clock she put on her hat and told Mrs. Parsons she was going for a walk. “Order lunch for whenever you like,” Evelyn called. “I shan’t be here.” Celia’s answer was an inaudible murmur as she let herself out of the apartment. She took the elevator to the street and walked to Fifth avenue. There she mounted a bus and rode to the building whero John Mitchell's law office was located. Celia had been there only twice before. nun SHE gave her name to the girl in the reception room. Five minutes later a tall, dark-haired young woman appeared, smiling. She was John Mitchell’s secretary. “Miss Mitchell?” the young woman said, approaching Celia, “I’m sorry. Your father isn’t in.” “Oh!” “Is there anything you'd like to have me tell him?” “When do you think he'll be back?” “Well, really, it’s doubtful. It’s almost noon now r and he has a luncheon engagement. I don’t know just when to expect him.” Celia had had enough business training to know that confidential secretaries were likely to be thoroughly informed on their employers’ personal as well as professional affairs. Miss Roberts, who stood before her, was a confidential secretary. “Could I come into your office for a minute?” Celia asked. “Certainly.” The two went into a smaller room. Celia hesitated. Then she said nervously: “You probably know father’s trying to locate my mother. Has thre been any word yet?” A look of quick sympathy crossed the older girl’s face. She shook her head. “We haven’t heard anything yet,” she said. “He was expecting a message all day yesterday, but it didn’t come. I’m sure he’ll let you know as soon as there’s anything definite.” “Then I guess that’s all. Thank you very much.” Celia turned and left the office. She rode uptown and returned to the apartment. She was there at 3:10 that afternoon when the maid announced there was a young man to see her. ITo Be Continued) PUSHES JOBLESS AID Senator Wagner to Introduce Bills Again. Bit Scripps-ll award Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—The Wagner unemployment bills, buried or emasculated by administration opposition in the last session of congress, will be back very much alive when congress opens Dec. 1. Senator Wagner of New York today declared that lie proposed not only to push them immediately upon reconvening of congress, but to “implement” them with more effective relief. He may add $100,000,000 to his, measure for a $150,000,000 revolving fund for public works during times of distress, and introduce a fourth bill appropriating a big emergency sum for national aid in relief work. This, he said, depends upon the extent to which local communities are meeting the problem of preventing hunger and distress this winter. LOOPHOLE FOUND IN DEMOCRATS’ PLEDGE Right to Oppose Hoover Appointees Retained by Party Heads. Bit Scripps-llaicard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—Apt use of the word “fit” in the Democrats’ peace statement, issued last Friday by seven leaders of the party, leaves the way open for members in the senate to fight certain of President Hoover’s recess appointees. The Democratic statement said that the party’s victory Tuesday would result in “no holding up of necessary appropriations, no rejection of fit appointees to important places merely because these appointments are made by a President of the opposite party.” This does not preclude the fight on the confirmation of the new tariff commissioners, nor the probable row over the new power commissioners, three of whom were named before the last session adjourned.

When the first frightened natives deserted the exped’.tion of Erich von Harben to return to their tillages with the alarming stories that had finally sent Tarzan of the Apes upon the young man’s trail, the young explorer himself continued fearlessly on. But one morning he awoke to find himself completely deserted. Even his body servant, tabula, had left him.

A hasty survey of the camp revealed that his followers had stripped him of everything. All of his supplies were gone, and his gun carriers had decamped in the night with his rifles and all of his ammunition, with the exception of a single pistol, and its belt of ammunition that had been in his tent with him. He was now alone on the slopes of the Wiramwari 'mountains.

It did not take the young man long to reach his decision, and presently he turned back to his tent and entered it, packed a few necessities that had been left him In a light haversack, strapped his munition belt around him, and stepped forth once more to turn his face toward the mystery of the Wiramwazi. He felt as lighthearted as in the days when he had scaled the Alps. v
