VOW CO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER SEVENTEEN Irene was no crusader. Shg gave tip the idea of going to Hollywood. ThJ sheltered life was good enough for her, she decided l ut she had not given up the deciro to be a darling of the public. Ani so she was torn two ways by having a popular radio artist in the house. She could shine in reflected g!o.-y or brood in darkest envy. T hen one of her girl friends marrie 1 and although it was a quiet ws iding with a short engagement and no kitchen showers or bridge luncheons to precede it, Irene saw that a bride is, above all other parlors, the center of attraction. i uppose she married Tommyeloped with him as they had planned—everyone would be talking about her then. Beryl would, at least locally, be overshadowed for a time. I erhaps—Who could tell?—if people could be made to think of someone else in the family for a little while, they might never think so much of Beryl again. They’d turn next to anew wonder. Yes, she would marry Tommy elope with him. Right away. a u n I ['OR this elopement Tommy and Irene kept their plans secret, taking no chance of interference. Beryl saw her sister sewing on a pretty new dress of eyelet embroidered organdy (Irene sewed the ribbon bows on; her mother had made the dress) and noted the mysterious smile that accompanied the work. Why that smile? she wondered. Irene had worn it on her soft red lips constantly in Beryl’s presence for the last three days. It was beginning to be irritating. Beryl believed if you had a secret you should keep it or let it go, not keep it hanging about you half concealed, half revealed. The dress had been made hurriedly, but Irene always was wanting dresses made in a hurry. Sometimes she wore them little more than basted together. Beryl might have guessed the truth, but her work kept her too busy to give much thought to Irene’s affairs. Tommy’s elation would have given it away, but Beryl had not seen him with her sister since Irene had agreed to the elopement. Irene would not take that chance. She wanted to make Beryl suspect there was something in the air and worry over it, but she did not want to give her too many clues. Again Tommy packed his suitcase for a honeymoon—and again he was frustrated. On this occasion the interference came from a grim source. Death stepped in and put an end to the affair. Quietly and without a word to any one his Aunt Emma died. His uncle called him an hour before the time he had set to slip out of the house to meet Irene. It was morning. A heavy, foggy morning of the kind on which people with asthma find it difficult to breathe. Uncle George couldn’t, he said, wake Aunt Emma. Tommy ran to see what he could do. Presently they called a doctor. Before the physician got there Aunt Emma had turned cold. Out in the sound the foghorn bellowed dismally. Aunt Emma always hated to hear it. Vagrant thoughts came to Tommy as he stood for a while before the window, trying to check his tears so

that he could go down and telephone to Irene. * a a a BERYL liked the fog horn. Its bellow or faint boom had stirred elusive thoughts in her mind, she had said. Something seemed to come—like that train in liliom —and carry her away. Only this was a boat, and for a bit of time she could feel that she had traveled, been somewhere. Tommy had laughed at her. “Carried away by a sound—huh? That’s some imagination!” Now he did not laugh. Did death give you anew sense—some one else's death? Bewildering thoughts —and he had to telephone Irene. How aid he feel when he had talked with her? Back in his room —the tears unchecked now—he was not conscious of any effect upon himself from Irene’s words. What had she said to him? Certainly nothing of moment, nothing to be remembered. Many people came to the house. Irene, of course, and Beryl, too. There were many things to do. Tommy felt bewildered. Death was new to him. New and terrible. Beryl told him in conventional phrases that tortured her how grieved she was for him. Her voice was steady, but what she suppressed would have astonished Tommy. Irene had declared openly against the tyranny of a fate that upset her plans. Beryl had learned then what those plans were and what that mysterious smile had meant. Irene did not seem to mind that Aunt Emma was dead. She was annoyed because her plans were spoiled. Beryl had dreaded to hear what Tommy would say. Would he, like Irene, think of himself? Would he have less regret for the passing of one who had loved him because that passing interfered with his plans? He- did not once speak of the proposed elopement and Beryl knew, with an elation she found it hard to hide, that it was because he had not thought of It. She watched him with Irene and could see that Irene was provoked with him. There could be but one explanation for that. He was not thinking about her. With Beryl it was a? though she lived on the edge of a deep, black abyss, never knowing at what moment she would be pitched headlong into the bottomless depths. That’s what Tommy’s marriage to Irene would mean to her. She had not quite known what it would mean before their first attempt to run away and be married. That oc #3ion had opened her eyes and she had not been able to close them completely since. tt tt tt ONCE when she was a little girl there was a thing Beryl had said she would never do. Later she did it. It wasn’t a great sin—some slight piece of mischief that she had since forgotten—but from it she had learned a lesson. The lesson was that she might say she never would do so-and-so again, but that did ■not make it a fact. She might be fooling herself again. Beryl agreed, when she said she never would love any one but Tommy. Still she believed this was true and the anguish the thought of his being married to Irene caused her was real enough, no matter what changes the future might hold. For a wlille after his aunt’s death Beryl felt safe. Then the terms of Emma Hoffman’s will were made public and she didn’t know what to think. Tommy was not the heir. His aunt had died intestate. She’d had a superstitious fear of preparing for death and so her favorite nephew was left to share her fortune with other kin. There were several children of several brothers and sisters and Tommy did not receive much. Irene told her nothing. Beryl did not ask questions. It was like the crisis in an illness. She was uncertain. Would Irene think of Tommy now? Was there a streak of fineness in her character deep under the shallow exterior?

In her generous moments Beryl hoped this was true—and rebelled against it in a flash. Irene never could make Tommy happy. No; matter what he thought, that was i true. Irene told her nothing, because she did not want Beryl to know what was going on. Suppose Beryl knew that Tommy was giving up college? She’d | heard Beryl express herself on this j subject with a talent for words that I Irene had found too searing to wish I to hear repeated. Irene had a habit of shrugging,! both mentally and physically. She ■ shrugged aside what reproaches her conscience urged upon her in this j matter of Tommy turning his back upon higher education for her sake, j She had promised to marry him if he would accept his uncle’s offer ; to take over the management of Hoffman s Motion Picture Palace as ! a permanent job. MR. HOFFMAN had induced j Iren© to place this condition! upon her consent by bribery. She and Tommy would, he had said, come to live with him and the Hoffman house was an attractive dwelling. Aunt Emma’s sister Ernestine, who had been keeping house for him, v/ould be going home soon. She expected to take a lot of her sister’s things with her, but he would see that they were left.' They were old-fashioned things and he understood people were making a fuss over such things at the present time. He need not have urged further. Right there Irene had made up her mind. What envy it would excite in Beryl to see her among the Hoffman heirlooms, Irene thought. She remembered Beryl once had said she hoped Mrs. Hoffman would will her just one piece of the Lowestoft. Os course, Mrs. Hoffman hadn’t done anything of the kind. Irene decided to give a luncheon for Beryl, bringing tile Lowestoft from the china closet and serving her food on it just as though it were ordinary ware. She was planning the meal even as Mr. Hoffman continued talking. Perhaps her mother would cook the lu.’ eon. No, Mr. Hoffman would 1 ' .er have a maid for that. A smar„ maid in a black dress and j lace apron and cap. She and Tommy would live with him. They could remodel the house as they liked because some day it would be theirs. It wouldn’t be any fun fixing the house, but they could have a decorator from New York and that would make people open their eyes. Irene was too much taken up with these thoughts to give Mr. j Hoffman the answer he wanted and when she realized, as she did suddenly, that he was piling up inducement on inducement, she deliberately waited until he had made his final offer. This is how it came about that, with the anticipation of a handsome wedding present in her mind, she issued her ultimatum to Tommy. Tommy felt that the marriage should be delayed a while in re- j spect to his aunt’s memory—a de- ’ cision which he shortly came to regret. (To Be Continued)

TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN LION

The ape-man paused and listened, sniffing the air with his sensitive nostrils. Then on noiseless feet he crossed the clearing toward the hut. In the grass outside the palisade lay the dead body of a white man. A single glance told Tarzan it was the fugitive he sought, and even before he searched, he suspected that the sack of diamonds was in possession of whoever had slain the Russian^

BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES

Inside the hut and all about were indications of the recent presence of a man and woman. The spoor of the man tallied with that of the creature who had killed Gobu, the great ape, and hunted Bara, the deer, upon ihe preserves of the ape-man. But the woman, who was she? Swiftly Tarzan traced the footprints into the jungle. Now he saw the woman had been limping painfully and lagging behind her companion. y

Esteban forged far ahead of Flora Hawkes, now too weary to keep up with his increasing haste. “Wait for me,” she pleaded. “Then hurry up,” growled the Spaniard. ‘With this fortune in my possession I wait for nobody.” ‘Save me,” the girl cried despairingly, “I can go no farther.” Esteban laughed mockingly and as a turn in the trail shut him from her sight, she dropped exhausted to the ground.

Tarzan was in no haste, for he knew he would soon overtake the fleeing pair. So he was not surprised when he came suddenly upon the huddled figure of a woman lying in the middle of the trail. Kneeling beside her he laid a hand upon her shoulder. It brought forth a startled scream. “You are in no danger,” said the apeman. Then she looked up at him and exclaimed: “Oh, Esteban, have you really come bade to save me?”
