BEGIN HERE TODAY _ BERYL BORriEN. secretly in love with TOMMY WlLSON—delay his elopement with her half-sister. IRENE EVERETT, but fall* to convince him that It Is his duty to finish college. Later Irene postpones the marriage, be.levin* she Is to become a radio singer. Securing an audition, she permits Beryi to go to the studio with her. While waiting Beryl sits down at a piano and croon* melodies One of the directors hears her and gives her a private test, ne promises a contract later. Irene fails and is furious when the hears of Beryl's success. Time sasses and no word comes from the studio. At last a letter come3 and Berrl Slips away for the Interview. She is elated when presented with a contract. ' Her victory Is bitter-sweet for her family and Tommy believes she robbed Irene es her chance. Beryl’s debut is a success and she returns home laden with floral tributes. Burning v.dth envy. Irene decides to marrv Tommy Immediately, but his aunt di;s and again the wedding is postponed. MR. HOFFMAN. Tommy’s uncle, wants a new housekeeper and offers inducements for an early marriage. Success dees not kill Beryl’s love for Tommy, but she accents invitations from young PRENTISS GAYLORD. When ha calls. Irene greets him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER NINETEEN AFTER the first flash of dismay In which Beryl realized that Irene had entrapped Prentiss’ admiration, 6he wanted to laugh. Wasn't it funny that just when sha made up her mind to encourage bhn, he should follow in Tommy’s footsteps and succumb to Irene’s shell of beauty? Driving to the South Shore beside Prentiss in his black and chromium ror.dster, Beryl pondered the effect of this new conquest upon her sister’s attitude toward Tommy. She could ponder undisturbed, for he? companion had fallen strangely quet. Was he thinking of Irene? Beryl sighed, unheard against the wind that rushed against her face. There would be no problem for her to settle if Prentiss should transfer his attentions to Irene. She could slip back into her homeless passion for Tommy. But did she want that? Perhaps a little effort on her part . . . She moved closer to Prentiss. Beryl did not know exactly what she was doing. She’d never vamped a man. What would it lead to? Kow far did girls go and still have a retreat? > What if she did not want Prentiss to care for her, to make love to her? What if he should do it and she found it abhorrent? Wasn’t it cheap to lead a man on and then idraw back? Hadn’t he a right to peel offended when a girl did that? All at once Beryl drew away from the man beside her. She was out of her depth and knew it. Prentiss heard her laugh, and turned to look at her. “I’m a little rotter," she said to him. “I was trying to vamp you.” “Yes. I know,” Prentiss said. “Was I that crude?” Beryl asked. tt tt PRENTISS did not answer at once. Beryl was anew Jpnd of girl to him. Not nicer than any girl he’d ever known, bat astonishingly different. She brought new thoughts to his mind. “No,” he said slowly, “I wouldn’t say you were crude, unless one judged you by crude standards. I should say that, without knowing it, you were being extremely subtle.” “I’m afraid,” Beryl admitted, “that I don’t understand.” “I’m not sure that I understand, myself,” he told her. “There’s an idea among certain girls that they’ve an obligation to live up to all the things that have been said against the youth of today. , When they go after a man it’s something more than hammer and tongs, tooth and nails. It’s * . . well, never mind.’’ He paused and Beryl said: “Go on. Scold me. I deserve it.” “They’d laugh at you,” Prentiss declared, “but I’ve a notion that none of them ever get near the real thing, that thing that figured in the history of great loves. There must have been subtlety in that.” Beryl, embarrassed, attempted a joke. “Slow, but subtle,” she said with an awkward little laugh. It was coming to her now, the reaction of her behavior. Fighting impulses had been a life-long habit with her. She wondered why she had given in to these two—first to act as she had and then to confess her error. Couldn’t one be a fool about honesty? Prentiss spoke, as though he had read her mind. “The queer part of this is that you did it,” he said. “Why did you?” * The honesty in her nature, which

Beryl had just been questioning, was still in control. It dictated her answer. “Because I often want to do things that I won’t let myself,” she said. “Was it just an impulse? Didn’t you have a reason?” he pressed. Suddenly Beryl became suspicious of him. “Say,” she asked, “are you trying to analyze me or something?” Prentiss laughed. “You’re right,” he admitted. “I have been studying psychology these last two years. But you’ll have to admit that I have a personal interest in this case.” “Oh, then I’m a case!” “You’d make a dandy study. You're so darned honest. Oh no, you wouldn’t either. You’re not complex enough. You’re as clear and definite as a blue flame!” Beryl made a face. “You mean you can see right through me,” she interpreted and smiled at the thouht. Imagine it would be to him to trace her impulse in question to its source and find that it began with another man! He was far too attractive to be without all conceit. tt a tt PRENTISS’ next remark gave her a jolt. “Os course you’re struggling with obstacles between yourself and some man you’re interested in,” he asserted calmly. “If you thought necking a pleasure you’d have begun it long ago—when you were five, say.” “My goodness!” Beryl gasped. “You’re not mercenary,” he went on, ignoring her exclamation. “I looked for that at first. You weren’t after dad’s money and I'm sure you're not in love with me. ’’You don’t even nepd me as a stepping stone to success in a career. You had a good start before I met you. That leaves only a man.” Beryl wanted to giggle. She thought of him talking like this to Irene. She did know something of psychology—at least that it was the science of the human mind. But Irene, who never read a book! Irene had received a carnival doll as a gift once with a card that read: “Because you have a book.” She looked at Prentiss and announced: “You’re a lucky boy. No girl ever will fool you.” “It could be done,” he said dubiouslly, “but I don’t think it will be.” Beryl settled back in her seat, a strange smile upon her lips. Tommy wasn’t quite a fool, either, she thought'. “Life itself Is something of a jokester,” she said softly. Prentiss, whose thoughts had been far afield, started. “What?” he asked. Beryl did not answer. They had arrived at the cottage on the South Shore and some or Prentiss’ friends had come out to greet them. Beryl was welcomed, literally with open arms. It was known she would sing for them. She had no more private conversation with Prentiss that night. When they left they had another girl with them, a girl who lived on the North Shore. Something had happened to her escort. Beryl didn’t know exactly what. She only knew that their hostess had asked Prentiss if he would mind dropping this other girl at her home. The girl was quiet on the drive and Beryl sensed that she was emotionally upset. Beryl was glad of her presence. u • HAD Prentiss forgotten Irene: Beryl wondered because when they had danced together at the party he had seemed just as he was before seeing her sister. She had rather dreaded the drive home with him. It might be that second thoughts on her conduct earlier in the evening would give him anew set of ideas about her. He might attempt experimentation. All that had been In her mind when she dressed that evening was gone, gone for good. In its place was a high, fine feeling of escape. Better to be again living only for Tommy. There, in the world that she had created for just the two of them, dream world though it were, she was safe. Going back to it she felt that she had new faith in herself. .

She didn’t like having her mind cluttered up with changing emotions. It was painful to be hopelessly in love, but it was familiar pain, a dear pain, if there can be such a thing. She was glad not to have to talk about herself with Prentiss and glad to have a third person present. She wondered what would happen when the other girl left them. Would Prentiss follow up whatever had come into his mind at the party and try to make love to her? No, it seemed that he had been caught merely in the feeling of the moment—which was one of adulation and flattery toward her. He had liked her—a celebrity—to the party. This he told her on the way home. Beryl felt a touch of scorn toward the young man. Still his was a natural attitude and he had been honest as well as extremely decent not to take advantage of her own letdown. When they reached her home and Prentiss said he was thirsty, she felt that it was not a ruse to stay with her longer, so she let him come in. There asleep on the sofa was Irene. (To Be Continued) Two in Auto Killed TERRE HAUTE, Ind., May 20.

As Flora Hawkes cried out, the ape-man looked his astonishment. "Esteban?” he exclaimed, "that is not my name.” Then the girl recognized him. Lord Greystoke,” she cried, 'is it really you?” “Yes,” he replied, ‘and who are you?” ‘I am Flora Hawkes, once your wife’s maid.” ‘Now I remember you,” said Tarzan, ‘but what are YOU doing here, alone in the heart of Africa?” “I dare not tell you,” moaned the girl. "Speak,” said the aoe-man, “Tarzan would not harm a woman.” f|

Haltingly, Flora told him how she and her confederates had come to get gold from the treasure vaults of Opar. How after they had it, he came with his Waziri and took it from them. "Do you mean you were with those Europeans,” said Tarzan, ‘‘who drugged me and left me in their camp?” ‘Yes,” replied the girl, hanging her head. But Tarzan seemed to forget that affair. ‘I came with no Waziri asd took nothing from you,” he said; “I do not understand.”

Flora looked her unbelief, yet she knew that Tarzan of the Apes never lied. So she told how Esteban had stolen her from the others. “And then,” she said, “Carl came with the diamonds and Esteban killed him, taking the jewels himself.” It was now Tarzan’s turn to betray surprise. “Come,” he said, “we shall And him.” ’But I can not walk,” Flora replied. That is a small matter,” laughed Tarzan, and stooping, lifted the girl to ffcis shoulder and bore her through the trees.

They stopped once lor food and water, which revived the girl. ‘Why have you saved me?” she asked. “You are a woman,” answered Tarzan. “I could not leave you to perish, no matter what you have done."
