F? :winced inwardly. Could *h P SS^ r have guessed how she felt about Tommy Wiison-how he was greatest thing in the world to her m sipte of her appreciation of his limitations? Well, whatever Irene thought Bhed never get the truth from her lips, Beryl decided, and remained silent. Irene stormed on until they reached the Pennsylvania station, then verbal exhaustion forced her Rlso into silence. But once they were seated in the Long Island train she took up her grievance again, impelled to questioning by her curiosity. Beryl would not tell her of the chance she was to have to sing for Mr. Gaylord, the soap manufacturer After all, she had her own pride and some sense and if Mr. Gaylord did not like her voice she’d never hear the end of It from Irene if she told her of the* trial beforehand. Irene still was talking angrily 'when they arrived h<-me. The scene that ensued, with their mother inevitably siding with Irene, finally pent Beryl to her room to save herself from crying before them. “The hard-boiled ingrate,” Irene characterized her as Beryl disappeared up the stairs, her head high and an air of jauntiness disguising her heartache. She w r anted someone to share her unexpected good fortune—to thrill with her over its possibilities. Beryl was not one to enjoy happiness alone. As she was eager to share other people’s sorrows and joys she was just as eager to share her own. She liked sympathy when she needed it, and plaudits and congratulations when she deserved them And now when she had something tremendous to share there was no one near and dear to her to share it. If in the forlornnesa of her position she indulged in a little self pity no one knew it and when next her family saw here there was no trace of the tears she had shed. Rather she affected an unconcern In regard to their sullen, criticizing silence that furthered their impression of her heartlessness. tt tt tt MRS. EVERETT had warned Irene to keep quiet before her father. He’d had a trying day at the store without Beryl’s help and his wife knew the instant he entered the house that he would not take part with any one who started a row, regardless of justice. Mrs. Everett dreaded her husband’s displeasure for, like many mild, but strong-minded persons, he was loud in battle and she feared his words would be overheard by the neighbors. Next door a family had built up close to the property line, and in summer time, with the windows open . . . “Don't get your father started,” she had whispered in an aside to Irene just before, the family gathered for dinner. Irene had been upstairs taking a shower bath and dressing for the evening. She had telephoned Tommy to come over after dinner— Beryl load heard her—and when she came into the dining room she was palpably made up to please him. She looked as fresh and daintly as a daisy in dew. Beryl, who had been helping her mother in the kitchen, was more like a flower beside a dusty road. Mr. Everett, too, looked the toiler. Beryl offered to make him a tomato cocktail and when she brought

it, filled with fine ice, he thanked her with a grateful glance. He was too tired to sense the undercurrent of il feeling that his wife and daughter shared. Otherwise he would not, perhaps, have been so tactless as to ask Irene how her audition had come out. “It was a flop,” Irene answered, “and it’s all ...” Behind her father’s back her mother shook a warning head at her. She checked her speech, but her eyes, glared daggers at Beryl. ‘ Why, that’s too bad,” her father said sympathetically, but he did not question her further. To a man who had been on his feet all day after sweeping out a grocery store —lifting, heaving, stooping, dragging, weighing and wrapping packages, trying to give service to make up for lack of superior stock, a daughter’s aspirations were less intesting than the prospect of rest. Especially when he could leave her future to her mother. His wife could handle these things better than he could, he’d always argued, and so he had been more or less left out of consideration when Irene’s career was being discussed. Mrs. Everett felt no such comfortable acceptance of her daughter’s first failure. But she was able to hide her disappointment from her husband because of her belief that Irene had been dealt with unfairly. She still believed what Irene had told her—that Beryl had got them both laughed at at the studio. Beryl had not denied it. Another time and Irene would succeed. The dinner that Mrs. Everett had prepared as a feast to celebrate Irene’s triumph was eaten in silence. Irene was the first to leave the table—to wait for Tommy on the front porch. m tt a BERYL, realizing that it was hopeless to expect assistance from her, washed the dishes in haste for she, too, had made plans for the evening after she’d heard Irene telephoning to Tommy. Irene had hinted broadly to him at the time that she had some trouble to pour out to him and Beryl had guessed that she meant to accuse her of everyhing short of murder. Well, she wasn’t going to stay around and get an earful of what Tommy thought about it. Tommy was Irene’s man and she could expect him to sympathize with her sister. For her part she’d go to her gang and tell them her good news. The kids would appreciate it. When she got them all together she swore them to silence and then confided that she was going to get a chance to sing on the radio. “And we’ll make up a code,” she said excitedly, “like some of the radio announcers do so they can tell their wives when they’ll be home, and then I can send messages to you.” “Aw, you’re gonna sing; not talk. If you talk, nobody’ll listen to you.” “Well, I can cough.” “When you going to do it?” “I’ll let you know as soon as I’m hired, and don’t forget not to breathe a word of it.” They asked her a lot of questions, but she wouldn’t keep them out late enough to give all the answers. It still was too early to go home, though. Tommy was sure to be* there. tt tt a pHE dismissed her gang and went for a walk along the beach. It was practically deserted and Beryl loved it when she had it alone. There were big boulders strewn along it—one in particular upon which she liked to perch and stare at the lights twinkling across the sound. But tonight she found it occupied, and by Irene and Tommy. They did not see her as she approached in the darkness, nor did she see them until she was close enough to overhear their conversation. They were arguing and what Beryl heard Tommy say set her heart singing with happiness. He did not, apparently, agree with Irene that she had ruined her sister’s chances at the broadcasting station. He seemed to think Irene’s surmises were absurd. “Gosh, Irene,” he said, “Beryl wouldn’t deliberately do a thing like that.”

It wasn’t a very warm defense, and it was made with a bit of reluctance, as though the defender were forced to make it by an emotion of which he was not proud. Beryl knew that he was taking her part against his will and for a moment she loved, him without reservations. “He has to be fair,” she exulted. “He can’t help it!” What Irene was thinking of him was distinctly different. To make sure of his allegiance she had made herself as irresistibly attractive as she could. Tommy had been impressed—she had seen that at once—and he had begun again urging her to marry him. She had felt certain that he would be as furious with Beryl as she was. And he had dared to differ with her. As her hot words poured out into the night Beryl turned away with a tender smile in the corners of her mouth. An impulse toward joyous expression sent her cart-wheeling down the beach where the sand was smooth and hard. From that night she did not mind the attitude of Irene and her mother. Nor did she tell them of her prospects. But they felt a suppressed glow about her and Irene resented it as a manifestation of envious satisfaction. As the time Beryl expected she must hear from Mr. Bamhoff drew near her excitement grew until she found it difficult to keep from speaking of her secret. And then suddenly one day she realized that it had been quite a while that she’d been waiting. After that, as day after day went by and no word came from the studio, she began to wonder if Irene were right and someone had been fooling her. That didn’t seem like Mr. Barnhoff, she told herself. “I guess they didn’t like my voice so much, after all,” she decided. From that moment, it became hard to endure Irene’s continuous taunts about the result of her test. (To Be Continued) Fund Transfer Voted By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., May 12. Transfer of $13,000 of surplus earnings of the municipal electric light plant to the park fund will make possible payment of claims for labor and material used for improvements at Athletic park a year ago. The ordinance transferring the money was held up several months because of a split in the city council. When Howard Brown, .president of the council, lined up with three other members, the administration gained support necessary to pass the measure.^ Injured Man Sues By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., May 12.—Suit by Grover C.

TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN LION

Thoroughly awake now, Kraski watched the sack as Tarzan moved away a short distance and, with the golden lion, lay down to sleep. Assured at last that they both slept soundly, little by little the Russian crawled toward the package, pausing often to regard the two. Neither of them stirred and finally Kraski grasped the sack, quiqMy stuffed it in his shirt, took his place again be;ftpd the fire and pretended to sleep.

He felt carefully of the sack. “Pebbles,” he muttered, “ornaments for this savage barbarian who is a peer of England! Fancy this wild beast once sitting in the House of Lords!” Untying the s.:ck he let a portion of its contents trickle forth. “DIAMONDS!” He stifled his cry of amazement. Great, scintillating stones they were, five pounds of pure white diamonds. So fabulous a fortune was tefore him that it fairly staggered the Russian. *

Quickly he replaced the gems inside his shirt. Fearfully he watched Tarzan and Jad-bal-Ja; still neither of them moved. “Tomorrow!” muttered Kraski, “would I had the courage to make a break tonight.” At dawn Tarzan with the three Englishmen came to a good-sjzed native village. The ape-man was received graciously, almost with the deference due an emperor. The whites were awed at the- attitude of the black chief. V

Tarzan pointed to the three Europeans. ‘ These are my friends,” he said to the black chief. “See that they reach the coast in safety. I, Tarzan of the Apes, request the favor.” “The great chief Tarzan h?s but to command,” replied the black. Tarzan thanked him, saying he had other business and might not return. Without a of*3 of farewell, Tarzan of the Apes passed from the sightyof the white men and behind him paced thokolden lion.
