She urges him to stay In college and not break the heart of the aunt who la financing him. Tailing t el convince him. Raryl lets Tommy return to Irene who. enraged at the delay, refuses to listen and postpones the elopement. Later Tomy goes fishing and finds Beryl and her gang on the beach. One of the ho vs is carried out by the tide and Tommy helps Beryl rescue him. She finds it hard to bear the reproaches of his mother and the sneers of her Jealous sister. When Tommy again begs Irene to marry him she reluses. saying it might spoil her career, and Informs him that ane Is to have a radio audition. She promises to take Beryl to the studio if she will wash her blouse, but after the work is finished asks their mother to keep Beryl home. However. Beryl forces Irene to her bargain, and goes to the studio, little dreaming what the adventure has in store for her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TEN '"pHE anteroom in which Beryl X waited was more in the nature of a central hall at the top floor of b spirel-like building than a mere part of the suite. Through the many doors people came and went in varying degrees of preoccupation. But all seemed to have one thing in common—an utter obliviousness to her. She sat quietly withdrawn in a handsome but uncomfortable chair and watched them with keen interest, particularly the gorgeous woman who came in with her chauffeur, the latter carrying a pet dog, and a maid as Gallic as Paris. In a few minutes the maid reappeared and went at once to a door opposite where Beryl was sitting. She was l careless in closing the door behind her and Beryl could eee, through the crack she left, the remarkable quickness with which ehe extracted a cigaret case from a pocket in her smart black uniform, drew out a cigaret. end applied a match to it. She puffed it greedily and Beryl guessed that the indulgence was a stolen pleasure. Then, after the maid had crushed out the burning end in an ash tray, Beryl saw her hold the cigaret case to her mouth in the manner of one using a throat spray. Hurriedly thrusting it back into her pocket she came out of the room leaving the door wide open behind her, and went to rejoin her mistress. a a a THE room exposed to Beryl’s view', was a dainty sitting room. She was charmed by it and decided to have a closer look at its perfection. But she’d never seen anything like it before and admitted she'd need a postgraduate course in interior decorating ever to think of doing one similar. From the w r hite and gold mantel she turned to a small Florentine piano and found herself unable to resist the desire to run her fingers over the keys. The tone of the instrument delighted her. She sat down on the rose and blue striped cushion of the bench and began to play very softly. But the music she wanted, the romantic music of long ago, was not at her command. She was not an acomplished pian-ist-having had neither time nor money to develop her talent —so she turned to playing the things she knew—the chords and runs of her song accompaniment. This set her to singing, but she had not forgotten entirely where she was and that she might disturb someone if she made any “noise” as her musical efforts were called at home. So she smothered her voice and sang in a velvety monotone. Alw r ays, when she sang consciously, she sang to an audience. Mostly it was an audience of one—her father as her fancy pictured him. He’d have liked her music, she thought, and just for him she’d learned a tender ditty or two. Now she 6ang them with her head on one side and a dreamy light in her soft gray eyes, a a a PRESENTLY the dreamy light faded in tears, but she sang on, her voice a bit choked, yet vibrant with the wish in her heart—the wish to have known her father. There was loneliness in it, too —the loneliness of one Nvho walks alone. When she stopped, her hands re mained poised over the keys and she stared away into space beyond the silk-lined walls of the room into the smiling face of her father. “You liked it?” she asked, and was startled to hear a voice behind her say, “Very much.” She turned in a flash and the

newcomer wondered at her surprise, since, he believed, she had just addressed him. “Oh,” Beryl stammered, “I’m sorry.” "Sorry for what, pray? For some of the loveliest sounds ever heard hereabouts?” Beryl’s confusion left her and she stared at the man with a coldness that dared him to bait her further. "I mean it,” he said quietly. “But r was hasty, for you may be looking for a job.” He smiled and Beryl smiled with him. "No,” she said, “I’m not a singer.” \ “No,” he agreed with her, “you are not a singer, thank the Lord, but I’d like to hear whatever it is you were doing on the air.” a a a BERYL’S eyes opened in amazement. Then a discouraging thought struck her. “Are you a singer?” she asked suspiciously. The man chuckled. “I thought I was once upon a time, but I soon got over it.” “You and me, too,” Beryl admitted. Then she thought of what he had said about hastiness. “Do you hire singers?” she asked directly. “Sometimes. Are you sorry you're not a singer?” “Yes,” Beryl answered simply, “but no one knows it except you and—and my father.” “Well, I'm not sorry—not if you turn out to be what I think you are.” Again Beryl stared at him in demand of an explanation. “I think you are an entertainer,” he told her. “Would you care to try it out?” “Try it out?” Beryl repeated doubtfully. “Yes, since you’re here at the studio it wont be any trouble for any of us. I’ve a free moment to give to it. Come along, and try not to forget what you were singing just now and how you were singing it.” “Oh, but I can’t,” Beryl protested. “I’m waiting for my sister. She’s having an air test—you sent for her, you know. Irene Everett. She’s a soprano.” The man shook his head. “Then I didn’t send for her,” he declared emphatically. “The only soprano I care for is Jenny Lind.” “Her teacher has great hopes for her,’’ Beryl boasted. a a u THE man nodded. “I see—the teacher arranged the test. Quite often they turn up good material for us—and quite often—but come along. I want to hear what you can do. I’ll see that your sister is informed of your whereabouts.” Beryl began to feel exicited as she was conducted to an office-like room down a corridor. There an alert-looking young man was introduced to her. She left that room for still another. The man whose name she did not yet know remained behind. This time she was led to a room that looked like a drapery display to her, or a stage set to exhibit a microphone. A piano stood beside it and Beryl was seated there. “Now will you please play and sing for yourself?” the alert young man asked her with a casual friendliness that helped greatly to put her at ease. “The same thing you were singing when Mr. Barnhoff heard you.” A hint, of stage fright appeared in Beryl’s expression. It brought a soothing, “You’ve never done this before, have you?” from the young man. Beryl shook her head. “Well, just take it easy while you w r arm up a little. Mr. Barnhoff won’t be listening in for a while yet. He had something else to do." The latter statement was untrue, designed to meke the ordeal easier for Beryl, for the young man knew that an invisible audience was often more terrifying than a visible one. As his personal contribution to her success he moved about in quiet activity, softly whistling a cheerful tune. Beryl's hands hovered uncertainly over the piano keys. “You’re scared,” she said to herself scornfully. “Beryl Borden, you’re scared!" In self reproof she began to play with a stern determination. The resultant sounds displeased her more than her stage fright had done. “That's no good,” she said aloud and stopped. The helpful young man came over and stood beside her. “They say that Kreisler always plays to his wife —no matter how

many people are listening to him. You know what I mean—and I'd say you must have someone like that—a boy friend, perhaps.” Beryl smiled up at him, then looked away. “Thank yqu, Mr. Leonard,” she said softly. And to herself: “I was falling down on you. wasn’t I, Old Scout? Well, now you listen and I’ll sing—just for you." j tan SHE did not fully recapture the mood that Mr. Barnhoff had found her in, but she sang tenderly. Leonard absent-mindedly nodded approval time and again. Beryl forgot his presence there, but she did not forget that at some time during her singing Mr. Barnhoff w’ould listen in. And the thought disturbed her. At the end of the first song she turned and looked about as if expecting someone to tell her what to do next. “One more,” Mr. Leonard said encouragingly. “Something different this time. Something lively, so we can get your versatility.” Beryl sang a snappy modern number and because she was trying to hold back her growing excitement she unwittingly sang it as she so often sang at home—smothered in the velvety quality that w’as the chief charm of her voice. When she turned to Leonard a second time he said in a bit of excitement of his own: “Now we will hear what Mr. Barnhoff has to say.” (To be continued) SUMMER SCHOOL TO BE HELDJBY PURDUE Term to Open June 11 Will Continue Until Aug. 8. By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 9.—Announcement of the 1931 summer session of Purdue university by Dr. G. C.

TARZAN AMD THE GOLDEN LION

Wedged in the crotch of a large tree, three white men greeted the coming dawn with weary eyes. “I'll let the lions have me.” said one of them, “before I spend such another night.” Footsore and hungry, in a vain search for game they blundered on. Unschooled in jungle craft, with the dull perceptive faculties of civilized man, there might have been fierce beasts or savage warriors on every hand for all they knew, p

And so it was that shortly before noon, as they crossed a small clearing the zip of an arrow, barely missing Peebles’ head, brought them to a sudden halt. Kraski threw his rifle to his shoulder and fired. “There,’' he cried, “behind thefce bushes!” and then an arrow from another direction pierced his forearm. "Down!” he yelled, “and let them have it!” Scarcely had they dropped when a score of pygmy hunters into the open.

—By Ahern

Now a volley of arrows whizzed above the prone men, while from a nearby tree two steelgray eyes looked down upon the ambush. Fighting for their lives but unafraid, the three whites pumped lead into the band of yelling pigmies. Suddenly the foe withdrew into the concealing safety of the surrounding jungle. Utter silence reigned; and then a voice came from a nearby tree. “Do not jgre until I tell you to,” it said in English, “and will save you!”

From the tree whence the voice had corns there sounded a single low, whistled note—and again silence. The pigmies, surprised, ceased their activities, but presently, hearing nothing more to arouse their fears, they emerged from cover and launched arrows toward the three whites. A white giant leaped from the branches of the jungle monaroh, as a great black-maned lion spfbr.g from the thicket below.
