BEGIN HEBE TODAY BERYL BORDEN, secretly la love with TOMMY ~ WILSON. delays hts elopement with her hall-sister, IRENE EVERETT, but fails to convince him that it is his duty to flnish college. Irene wants to be a radio singer and Is furious when she faile and Berlv succeeds in securing a contract. Beryl's debut wins applause and new friends, but she cannot forge’t her hopeless love even though she goes to parties with the wealthy PRENTIS6 GAYLORD Irene is envious and tries to win Prentiss from Beryl. She uses evens wile to force him to a declaration, as she has promised to marry Tommy in a week. Tommy's aunt dies and he loses both money and his job. Whep he tells Irene his bad luck she breaks their engagement. Finally Prentiss proposes and Irene haif promises to marry him. She tells Prentiss that Tommy is in love with Beryl when they come home one night and see Tommv waiting on the porch. Irene stavs in the car until Tommy leaves and then announced to her family that she is engaged to Prentiss. Beryl's hesrt aches for Tommy and she wants to- heip him bear his trouble. But when she finds him, on the beach, he has been drinking NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE WHEN Tommy was In condition to talk, he and Beryl climbed upon the big rock and let the water wash around it without concern. Wading out wouldn’t matter now. They already were wet. The sun was quite warm and they would dry out pretty well In a little while. Beryl did not want to stay too long, being anxious to get Tommy* home before the whole town saw him. Walking home in wet shops wouldn’t matter—but dripping wet. . . . ! Even now Tommy wasn’t fully recovered. He could talk, but Beryl realized she had to be blunt in what she said to him. She did not tell him at once what was on her mind, but asked questions about himself. She thought if he talked his mind would clear faster. Tommy told her, somewhat incoherently, about the sale of the theater and the loss of his job. Honesty compelled him, when Beryl berated his uncle, to admit that Mr. Hoffman had got him another job. “But I wouldn’t take it,’’ he added with a burst of ire. “The guy called up yesterday and I told him to go to the devil.” “What was it?” Beryl asked. “Cleanin’ out cesspools. Can y’ Imagine?” Beryl wanted to laugh, but she wouldn’t. Her sense of humor, as she frequently reminded herself, wasn’t a proper one. She said soberly, “You might get a job at the Majestic,” and held her breath. Now he would say whether he was going away or not. He only shook his head and muttered that “They’re satisfied with Harvey.” Beryl answered impatiently: “I know, but I didn’t mean you might get Harvey’s job. He’s only the manager, while you can do anything, Tommy!” “Quit your braggin’ about me,” he grumbled. “You’ll be tellin’ me I could be a speshlist in cleanin’ cesspools ’n a minute. ’N I won’t take the job.” “No, of course you won’t,” Beryl said soothingly, “you’ll get a good job, because naturally you’ve got ter show your uncle .. and Irene, that you’re no bum.” She was using the psychology she’d use with a child and knew it. but she thought Tommy wouldn’t know, in his present condition. She expected him to rise to the mention of Irene’s name, which had been deliberate. He did. “Irene broke our engagement,” he said thickly. “Because you lost your job?” Beryl asked, to find out if he knew about Prentiss. But Tommy woud not answer the question. A stubborn loyalty to Irene forbade it. “Do you want her back again?” Beryl asked sharply. Tommy turned and looked at her. His eyes were wells of misery. “Want her back?” he repeated wonderingly. a a a BERYL was thinking that Irene might scurry back into her engagement to Tommy like a frightened rabbit if anything happened to break the affair with Prentiss. Maybe something could happen—maybe Prentiss didn’t know that

Irene had been engaged to Tommy. Suppose she told him? Beryl was furious with herself for thinking of it. "I’m the kind who would give a sick kid barber pole candy if it cried for it,” she said to herself in disgust. “Honestly, Tommy, would you want her .again even if you knew that she’s not worth the powder to .. . Well, if you knew she wouldn’t stick? “Why, just look-r-she throws you over when you’re up against a bad break! Do you think she’d ever be anything but just what she is?” “N’v mind,” Tommy said wearily. “I love her.” "’Then why don’t you do something to get her back?” Beryl flared at him. “Not even a dumb Dora like Irene would stand for you doing this!” “Y* gotta give a guy a chance,” Tommy mumbled. “All right, I’ll give you a chance,” Beryl exclaimed. “I think I know a way to get Irene back for you, but I won’t do it unless you promise not to repeat this night’s performance, and go right out and look for a job. By the way,” she added guilefully, “where’d you get it?” “Thash none of your business,” Tommy told her. Beryl slid down off the rock. The water was ankle deep. “Come on,” she said, “before you have to swim for it.” “I can swim,” Tommy boasted. “Sure, but come on, anyway. You’ve got to go home and do a lot of things to yourself before you’ll look human again.” Tommy submitted to being guided ashore. Then Beryl dropped his arm and walked along with him in silence. When they came to where their paths divided she said imploringly: “You will behave now, won’t you Tommy? Don’t quarrel with your uncle. “You can’t afford to if you’re serious about wanting Irene. You can leave his house as soon as you get straightened out.” Tommy was much soberer now. “How are you going to fix it with Irene?” he asked doubtfully. “Never you mind,” Beryl returned. “It you’re willing to have her on any terms, it’s too bad, but it’s your funeral.” “You’re always worrying about my funeral,” Tommy remarked, but he grinned faintly and Beryl could have cried with relief. It was the first grin of any kind that she had seen on his face for such a long while. “I’ll telephone you as soon as I have news,” she said and turned swiftly away. a a. . a \ T home she marched defiantly into the kitchen to see if Irene were there. She found her mother clearing awajy the breakfast dishes. Mr. Everett could go to the store later now that Beryl was paying a young man to assist him. “Where’s Irene?” Beryl demanded. “Still in bed?” “Well,” her mother said, “she came in late, you know.” There was a note of asperity in Mrs. Everett’s voice and Beryl thought it wiser to go in search of Irene than to stay and talk with her. She did not feel like having a vocal skirmish with her mother, and she could guess that Irene had complained of her unsisterly conduct the night before. . “I’ve something to say to you, young lady,” her mother stopped Berly at he door. The girl faced around. Mrs. Everett was too busy to fence. “Don’t you go interfering in Irene’s affairs again,” she said sternly. “She has a right to marry anyone she wants to if her father and I are willing.” A sarcastic smile curled Beryl’s lips. “Is she afraid of me?” she asked. “Who can blame her if she is?” her mother challenged. “You’ve made trouble enough for her. She’d have been married to Tommy Wilson now if you’d minded your own business.” "And aren’t you glad she isn’t?” Beryl returned with deplorable

disrespect. “See what she’s caught now. Perhaps if I break this up she'll get IJie prince of Wales next.” “Don’t try to be so smart. Just you let Irene alone.” “What’s she afraid of—that I’D tell Prentiss she was engaged to Tommy?” Mrs. Everett did not answer directly, but Beryl could see by her mother’s expression that she had hit the nail on the head. “I thought she’d be afraid of that!” she exulted. “I’ll bet she never told Prentiss a word about Tommy. Well, Prentiss wouldn’t like a cheater.” “It’s her own business,” Mrs. Everett declared, “and you keep ...” She was interrupted by the ringing of the front dor bell. “Go and see who that is,” she ordered BeryL a a a BERYL opened the door to a messenger boy who was whistling one of the songs she made popular on the radio. “Not for you, Miss Velvetan,” he said as he handed her a yellow envelope. “But you can sign. I guess the company’ll accept your signature.” “You fresh kid,” Beryl smiled at him. “Wait a minute and I’ll get you a copper.” “Thanks, Miss John D.,” the boy said a moment later when he took a shining dime from her. “It’s all I’ve got,” Beryl said defensively, “and besides you only had to come a nickel’s worth.” Then she handed him another dime. Her mother was standing behind her when she turned to go upstairs with the telegram. “Whos’ it for?” Mrs. Everett asked. “Irene,” Beryl answered. “I’ll take it up. Give it here,” Mrs. Everett said, reaching out her hand. “I want to talk to her,” Beryl protested . “You’ll do no such thing before she’s had her breakfast. You had her so upset last night she could have cried.” “Maybe—if she’d been peeling onions,” Beryl said unfeelingly. Her mother snorted, and hurried upstairs. Irene was awake. “What in the world’s all the commotion about?” she asked querulously, when her mother opened her door. “A telegram for you, honey. Maybe it’s from Mr. Gaylord.” “Give it to me. And I think it might be better form if you said ‘Prentiss’ now.” Irene put out a soft chubby hand with finger nails that were brightly glossed. She took the telegram and tore it open quickly. Telegrams were too unusual in her life to be taken calmly. The message was considerably more than ten words in length and she had read it through while her mother waited expectantly. Then Irene waved it over her head and cried excitedly, “Mama, just listen to this! Talk about speed! This" boy’s got it.” (To Be Continued) Former Resident Dies By Times Special BURNETTSVILLE, Ind., June 1. —Funeral services were held Sunday for L.

Arabs and white men, with their rifles and • elephant guns, Tan tor had learned to avoid. All except the one who today lay sprawled upon the beast’s rough back. Despite the sun brAizedskin, the figure was that of a white man.

Away in the forest, hunted two Arabs named Fahd and Motlog. With them were black slaves. They had found the fresh spoor of the elephant herd. Warily and in silence they advanced, the thoughts of the Arabs dwelling upon ivory, those of tty, .black slaves upon meat.
