BEGIN HERE TODAY BERYL BORDEN, secretly la love with TOMMY WILSON, delays hts elopement with her hell-sister. IRENE EVERETT, but fails to convince him that it is hla duty to finish college. Iren* wants to be a radio singer and is furioua when she fails and Beryl succeeds in securing a contract. Beryl's debut wins applause and new friends, but she can not forget her hopeless love, though she roes to gav parties with the wealthy PRENTISS GAYLORD. Irene tries to win Prentiss' interest when Bervl becomes ill. He Is deceived bv her nose of childish Innocence. Irene uses every wile to orce him to a declaration as she has promised to marry Tommy in a week. Tommy's aunt diea and leaves him l*ss money than he had expected from the famllv estate. Her husband loses seme of this by unwise investment, but permits Tommy to keep his Job as manager of nis theater. Then HOFFMAN tells the theater and tells/Tommv to look for another Job. When Tommy •ells Irene his bad luck, she breaks their engagement. Prentiss asks Irene to marry him, -nd she half agrees. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN TOMMY waited by the gate, longing for a glimpse of Irene, seeing lights in the house and trying to believe that she might be there wishing he’d come, late as it was, or writing a note to him perhaps. A note to tell him that she didn’t want their engagement broken and would marry him as soon as he liked. It was a ray of hope, but Tommy wrapped it around himself and endeavored to imagine it a warm cloak. Should he go boldly up to the door and ring the doorbell? No, he had not that much courage. Irene might come out to him if she knew he was there. He whistled softly, very softly, then a little louder. Behind the curtain of an upstairs room a girl peered out at him. It was not Irene, and he did not see her. The girl’s heart was pounding like a trip-hammer as she knelt on the floor beneath the window, the better to see him. Didn’t he know . . . couldn’t he see. . . . Then Eeryl saw that Prentiss had parked his car a little beyond the Everett gate. And it was the limousine. Perhaps Tommy did not know that it belonged to the Gaylords. Beryl thought that perhaps she wouldn’t have known it herself if it hadn’t had the came motor as that In Prentiss’ roadster. It was too dark under the trees for her to see distinctly. But surely Tommy could see—and know that it was not a car that belonged to the neghborhood. Could he see Irens with Prentiss? Beryl shivered with anxiety as she knelt and watched. No, Tommy couldn’t know yet or he would not be whistling there in the dark. But at any moment Irene might get out of the car with Prentiss and start for the house. What would happen then? Beryl was thinking less of the scene that might take place than of the hurt that would follow for Tommy. Would Irene care enough not to cause it? Would she wait with Prentiss until Tommy had gone away? Surely she had heard him whistling? # Si St BERYL prayed that Tommy would go away. But he didn’t. He stayed and she could see the glow of one cigaret after another as he lighted them and threw them away after a puff or two at each. Poor kid, what an awful state he must be in! She wondered if Irene had broken a date with him. Irene had not told her family of the breaking of her engagement to Tommy, but Tommy hadn’t been around all that day, or telephoned, and Beryl was puzzled. Then it came to her that Irene, too, was praying ha would leave. This was true enough, except that Irene was turning the occasion to her advantage. When she saw Tommy at the gate, she had been fairly petrified for a moment. Before she could think of what to say or do, Tommy’s whistle broke the stillness around them. It startled Prentiss. Nervous, he asked sharply: “What the deuce is that?” Irene sank back in his arms. “It's that silly Tommy Wilson,” she said in disgust, “in a minute he’ll be serenading her.” “Serenading who?’ “Why, Beryl, of course.” Irene sighed. “If he only knew how she makes fun of him!” Prentiss’ brows knitted in doubt.

“I thought you said she’s crazy about him,” he reminded Irene. Irene hesitated, seeing she’d made this error, but excuses, alibis ' and explanations were second na- | ture to her. She soon was ready to j explain tlfe apparent discrepancy ' in her statements. "Yes,” she said lightly, “but you see Beryl is a level-headed person. She calls most . , . most demon- : strations of affection nonsense.” And Prentiss, remembering that ! he had been unable to fall in love with Beryl, thought that it might ; have been because she was cold, j Not at all like the warm little kitten in his arms. He tightened his arms and Irene snuggled closer to him. Her sudden melting, which made her safer | from discovery by Tommy, seemed fully warranted now that a girl like Beryl had been painted as harsh and unfeeling. Irene was well pleased with herself. She had said that Beryl made fun of Tommy because she herself was exasperated with him at the moment. It was the first thing that popped j into her head. But the way it had succeeded in making her failure to finish saying good-night seem a sweet surrender to irresistible temptation rather than a sudden dropping of pretense appeared to her to be a result of her own i cleverness. Altogether, she liked j the way she had turned a bad moment to advantage. * n a THERE was no doubt that Prentiss was pleased with the change in her mood. He called her all the old love names and even coined new ones. Irene showed no absent-minded-ness now, but occasionally drew coyly away from him for a surreptitious glance to see if Tommy still were at the gate. It seemed to her a long while before he left. To Prentiss it was only a moment before Irene suddenly insisted that she must go. Truly she was an enchanting person to hold in your arms. Prentiss was reminded of something a friend had said about modernistic furniture. “I couldn’t live with it any more than I could live with an angular woman.” He smiled to think how out of place Irene wolud be in a geometric setting. He did not at all like to let her go. And he wanted to come early the next morning to tell her parents he was going to marry her. Irene insisted that it shouldn’t be before noon. Then he could take her, she thought, out on the island somewhere to lunch. He lingered at the door until she had, by degrees, literally closed it In his face. She did not wait to hear him walk down the porch steps, but dashed upstairs to Beryl’s room. The door was open, for the room had none too many windows. Irene paused on the threshold and said excitedly, “Hello, are you awake?” “Well, if I wasn’t, I would be now,” Beryl answered. Irene stepped inside the room and switched on a light. Beryl blinked and started to protest, but Irene cut her short. “I’ve got something to tell you,” she said, sitting down on the bed. “Wouldn’t it keep until morning?” Beryl asked. Irene pouted. “What are you always so cranky with me?” Her babyish tones nonplussed Beryl, who sat up and stared at her. Irene, the little snip, accusing her of being cranky! “We could act like sisters once in a while, couldn’t we?” Irene went on. “I thought you’d like to know what’s happened, but when I come to tell you I get a dig.” “I’ll bet it’s something you want,” Beryl said bluntly. Irene got to her feet. “I’ve half a notion not to tell you now,” she declared, “but I don’t have to be mean just because you are,” she added, unwilling .to forego the pleasure of giving Beryl a jolt. “No?” Beryl said, and now r she was beginning to be amused. Irene could be so unwittingly funny at times, she thought. “And I guess you’d sleep better, too, if you knew it,” Irene returned with a smirk that gave the remark a catty meaning. “Then you’d better tell me,” Beryl replied. “I’ll need a good sleep after this.”

SINCE she would not take up the lead thrown her, Irene came out !in the open. “I know you’ll be relieved on Tommy’s account,” she said tartly, you’ve made it plain enough that you don’t think I’m good enough for him. “But I’m not sore about it. I think you’re right about one thing. I’m not meant to be a poor man’s wife. I’d hate it, and poor Tommy hasn’t even a job . . She stopped. Beryl was staring at her with a fierceness that frightened her. “What do you mean—no job?” Beryl demanded. “Well, don’t blame me,” Irene said, shrinking back. “I had nothing to do with it. His uncle fired him.” “Fired him?” Beryl cried. “When and what for?” Irene shrugged. “I guess he didn’t exactly fire him,” she corrected, “but it’s practically the same thing. Mr. Hoffman sold the theater and Tommy just naturally is out of luck.” Beryl laughed, a broken, mirthless series of sound. “Just naturally out of luck,” she repeated. “And you’re throwing him over because of that—-out of luck. I wonder!” “You would say something like that,” Irene replied, jerking her chin into the air. “Yes, I would,” Beryl flared back at her, “and if you don’t get out of here, I’ll say a lot more.” She was thinking of Tommy whistling at the gate while Irene hid in another man’s car a few feet away. It might have been a protective act if Irene had meant it that way, but Beryl knew she had done it because she was as scared as a rabbit. She’d like 46 tell Prentiss Gaylord what she thought of him—taking an engaged girl out . . . and laughing maybe, at Tommy. Irene was at the door when Beryl called, "Wait a minute!” with such commanding earnestness that Irene halted against her will and looked back. “Did you tell Prentiss that Tommy was looking for you tonight —that you’re engaged to Tommy?” Beryl shot at her. Irene did not answer for a few seconds until a little of her selXassurance returned. Then, “Well,” she said with a sneering little laugh, “you could hardly expect me to say that I’m engaged to Tommy when I’ve just promised to marry Prentiss.” (To Be Continued) Hooslers* Kin Drowns By Times Special GREENSBURG, Ind., May 29.

TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN LION

Owaza was happy as they set forth and so was the old chief who went with the party; though why the chief was happy about it was a matter Owaza didn’t trouble to guess. They had marched two days into the interior when the chief sent one of his own men forward with a message. Tt is to my friend,” he explained, ‘ asking him to come meet us and lead us to his village.'’

A few hours later, as the little caravan emerged from the jungle on a broad plain, they saw a large band of warriors approaching. “Here comes my friend!” cried the chief. “See!” and he pointed toward a figure at the head of the blacks whose spears and white plumes gleamed in the sunlight. Owaza halted. “They come for war and not for peace,” he exclaimed fearfully. ■ ,

m As the warriors came closer Owaza saw a giant warrior at their head, a white man whom he mistook for Esteban, whom he had so treacherously betrayed. He turned to the chief. “You have betrayed me!" he cried. “Wait,” replied the old chief, “nothing that belongs to you shall be taken from you.” Now the real Tarzan at the head of his Waziri warriors arrived and greeted the old chief. a

“Your runner came,” said the ape-man, ‘bringing your message. Tarzan and his warriors are here to see what they can do for their old friend." The chief grinned. “Your own runner came to me, O Tarzan, four days since. Two days later caige this fellow with his carriers bearing gold to the coast, I told him you would buy it if gold, was rightfully his.”
