BEGIN HEBE TODAY BERYL BORDEN, secretly In love with TOMMY WILeON. dlyß_hU elojgmnt with her half-sister. IRENE BVERETT, but tall* to convince him that It is bis duty to finish college. Later Irene postpones the marriage, believing she is to beastar radio singer. Securing an audition she permits Beryl to go to the studio. White waiting Beryl sits down at a piano and croons melodies A director hears her and grants a Sr I vat* test. He promises a contract ,ter. Irene falls and it furious when she hears of Beryl's success. Time passes, but no word cornea from the studio. At last a letter arrives and Beryl slips away for the interview. She is elated when presented with a contract. Her victory is bittersweet for her family and Tommy believes she robbed Irene of her chance. Beryl’s debut Is a success and she returns home laden with floral tributes. Burning with envy Irene decides to marry Tommy Immediately, but his aunt dies sad so the marriage again Is postponed. MR. HOFTMANT Tommy’s uncle, wants a housekeeper and offers Inducements for an early marriage. Trying to kill her love for Tommy. Beryl accepts Invitations from young PRENTISS GAYLORD, who takes her to a party. Irene Is waiting when they return that night. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY IRENE, waiting up for her? Beryl looked at her sister, a lovely creature In (the nerve of her!) seashell pink lounging pajamas that were Beryl’s. The flood of soft light that came from a golden shade was flattering to Irene. Beryl turned to Prentiss with a feeling that she ought to shout a warning to him. Os course he could see for himself, but he couldn’t read the signals as Beryl did. He would see only the golden hair shining In the soft light, the gleam of a satiny ’ shoulder, the childlike pose of innocent sleep. Prentiss wouldn’t know that the lounging suit was taken without permission from its owner and that the wearer had waited up for her sister for the express purpose of meeting him or, failing that, to talk about him. Os course, Beryl realized, she herself could only guess at what was In Irene’s mind, but she knew her sister very well. She felt she had made a fair guess. Beryl wanted to let Irene sleep, but even as she put a silencing finger to her own lips Irene stirred and opened her eyes. Seeing Prentiss standing there staring at her, Irene sat up in pretended embarrassment, Tliere was no reason for genuine embarrassment. Her costume was complete with Its yellow coat and she knew her sister would understand that if she had not hoped to be caught in the pajamas she would not have ■worn the coat on a hot summer night. Irene had learned through painful experience not to face Beryl’s cool gray eyes when she was engaged In tricks. There was , something about Beryl which made tricks, even the most commonly practiced ones, seem cheap and tawdry. She wasn’t going to have her plans spoiled by Beryl, so she smiled sweetly aod apologetically at Prentiss. , “I wanted to hear about the party,” she said in the voice of a Cinderella, who had no parties In her own life. "Do you want a drink, Prentiss?” Beryl asked in a matte*.’ of f/ct tone. Prentiss answered vaguely. “A drink? Oh, yes; yes. of course. I was thirsty, wasn’t I?” "May I have something, too?” Irene pouted, still the little sister who’d be suppressed If other people had their way. That was the idea she hoped Prentiss would get. Irene had learned that most mh enjoy being protectors, or imagining themselves such. She was young enough to look helpless and appealing. a u u STRANGE that little shallowminded Irene should know so much more about men than her brainier sister. Was it Instinctive knowledge that comes only to primitive minds? Or w’as it that much talked of woman’s intuition? Beryl wondered as she made her way to the kitchen for the refreshments what Prentiss would say if she were to ask him about this. Over the mixing of the cool drinks she smiled suddenly and said to herself: “Beryl, don’t be a cynic. There must be men in the world somewhere who don't care for baby dolls at any stage of the game. Maybe Irene is just clever enough to pick her men.” Then she remembered having

heard someone say that youth Is intolerant, but that its earnestness is necessary to the movement of the world. Well, maybe she could get a jump on life by practicing tolerance before she grew old. Maybe she wasn’t justified in setting her own standards for other people to follow. Maybe Tommy wasn’t weak in loving, Irene. It wasn’t Prentiss, it was Tommy she was judging. "How about it, partner?” she said softly aloud. "If I were 40, would I be able to admit that possibly I’m wrong?” Bufc she wasn’t 40, and when she went back to the living room and saw Irene curled up in a picturesque pose in one corner of the sofa while Prentiss sat beside her Hike a charmed bird, Beryl thought), all her philosophizing vanishing. Her disgust welled up stronger than ever, and she was sorry that she 4iad brought a third glass for Irene. The little minx should be spanked and put to bed if she got what she deserved, Beryl thought. But Irene was years too old for that and one had to treat her as a grownup. Prentiss drank the lemon-mint and ate the thin, brown cookies. Beryl knew that It might as well have been cider and doughnuts for all the difference he’d have known. She wished he would go, for she was very tired. The party had been a strenuous one for her. Other guests had walked by twos on the adjacent beach or sat in dim comers of the big porch that fronted the ocean, but she had been kept indoors singing and dancing. * * * HER success, professional and social, was in no wise boresome to Beryl. She liked people and enjoyed being in a crowd, because in spite of her directness, she maintained a protecting reserve. She sighed audibly and Irene had the impudence to tell her she should go to bed if she were so tired. Beryl wanted to answer: “And leave you alone with Prentiss?” Instead she said: “We’re all going to bed. Prentiss, get your hat. This is an old-fashioned household and not a speakeasy. You may sleep until noon tomorrow, but we can’t.” Irene sat up in anger. “How can you be so rude?” she flamed. Prentiss laughed. “Beryl’s right,” he said apologetically. “I only came in for a drink, but . . His voice drifted away while his eyes lingered on Irene’s face as though to say its beauty could be blamed for his delay. Irene pouted. “I’m awfully sorry not to hear the rest of that story about the time you were robbed of your father’s pay roll,” she said regretfully. “Weren’t you just scared to death?” . Idiot! Beryl thought. Irene had only to look at Prentiss to know he wouldn’t be “scared to death” of anything. But then, of course, her question would give him a chance to declare himself on the subject. What more could a man want? “I’m getting to be a cynic,” she said to herself. Why hadn’t Prentiss told her that story? Well, she wouldn’t be “scared to death” of anything herself. Maybe it’s not fun to tell a person like herself a hero story. Maybe it’s only interesting with someone who will say, “Oh, oh!” with wide, round eyes and a round, rosebud mouth. Maybe that was why—because she didn’t have wide, round eyes and a round, rosebud mouth—that Prentiss had not gone on with his story after she came back with the refreshment tray. Oh, well, she cared only because Tommy was like that, too. u a a BERYL said good-night to Prentiss with a detachment of mind that pleased Irene, who thought it was due to pique. Then she went directly to her own room, refusing to gossip with Irene about the party and Prentiss Gaylord. Thank heaven there was one real blessing the old house afforded. That was a room of one’s own. Beryl thought, as she closed the door behind her. that she’d turn tiger cat if forced to share a room with Irene. Alone, she found that she was too confused to think logically. What

would all this lead to—her secret love for Tommy, Prentiss Gaylord’s coming into the situation, his admiration for Irene, and Irene’s greedy grasping at his interest? Where would it take them? “Better to live on the surface,” she whispered in the dark, holding one of her one-sided conversations with her father. “Life gets messy when you dig too deep, doesn’t It, Pater? Unless you’re very, very wise. And I’m not wise. I’m . . . I’m . . . crying. My throat felt tight and hot and queer. Neither It nor her thoughts would let Beryl sleep. She tossed in a hot bed until long after daylight arrived. Then, really alarmed at last, she got up and gargled with an antiseptic. The thought of a cool shower appealed to her. She was enjoying the shower when Irene banged on the bathroom door and said: “For Pete’s sake, will you please stop making so much noise and let people sleep?” Beryl turned off the shower and Irene started to go back to her room. A few paces away she stopped and listened. From the bathroom had come a sound like that of a falling body.

TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN LION

Tarzan lowered Flora to the ground,* whispering “Wait—he must not escape." But she followed slowly after him. Tarzan heard a low whine to his right. “Jab-tal-ja!” he murmured. "Heel!” and the great black-maned lion crept close to him. An instant later the three came to the river’s bank and through the tall grasses growing there looked down upon the little camp beneath^

Tarzan, to his consternation, saw a counterpart of himself standing before a little fire while slowly approaching with outstretched arms was a woman. The ape-man even heard her endearing words, addressed to her huge companion, and at the sound a strange complex of emotion suddenly overwhelmed him. He saw the man at the fireside stepping forward with open arms to embrace the eager women. Rage £!minated his mood.

—By Ahern

Then Tarzan separated the grasses and stepped to the very edge of the embankment, his voice shattering the jungle with a singi' word, “JANE!” he cried. Instantly the man and woman turned and looked up at him where his Sure was dimly revealed in the flickering light of the campfire. At sight of him the man wheeled and raced for the jungle. Tarzan leaped the rivulet below and ran toward the woman. “Jane.’! he cried, “it is you!”

The bewildered woman looked first at the retreating figure of the man she had been about to embrace and then turned her eyes toward Tarzan. She drew her fingers across her brow, then took a faltering step toward her husband. “Heaven help me,” she cried, “what doe* this mean?* v. e you? And U you are Tarzan; who was he? ’ Tarzan*s laugh reassured her. “I am Tarzan, believe me,” he said, “the tru Tarzan at the Apes.”
