BEGIN HERE TODAY BERYL BORDEN, secretly In love With TOMMY WILSON, knows that he Sever would be happy with her halfilster. IRENE EV::kETT. and tries to •revent their marrlaae. Irene is Jealous when she falls and Eervl secures a radio contract. Beryl's voice wins her new friends, but she cannot foraet her boneless love, though she aoes to parties with voung PRENTISS GAYLORD. Irene learns that Premiss is rich and tries to win him from Beni. Tommv‘s aunt dies and ha loses both money and Job through her h usband. Tommy tells Irene his bsd luck and she breaks the engagement. When Prentiss asks her to marry him she accepts. In cler.nalr Tommv drinks heavily and Beryl finds him. She tries to cheer him un and tells Irene that she must go back to Tommy or inform Prentiss how heartlessly sne has acted Irene promises, then slips away and marries Prentiss.. She telephones the news home and Beryl realizes she has been outwitted Next morning Beryl’s throat is in a serious condition. The family doctor eal:s for a specialist. Beryl is greatly worried bv the report that Tommy is ria bsd company. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR *T WISH you’d talk sense,” Mrs. 1 Everett protested. “All right,” Beryl compiled, “then I’m having a throat specialist out from New York to tell me if 111 have to stop singing or not.” “A throat specialist.” “Yes, and he's a famous person, eo give him a proper reception.” Mrs. Everett naturally wanted more information on the subject, but Beryl did not care to discuss it. She said she wanted to sleep, and her mother left the room. Beryl heard the telephone ring shortly afterward and a minute later her mother came up to tell her that Dr. Auguston would arrive in two hours. At the end of those two hours Beryl said to herself: “Sherman had a word for it, all right!” To the eminent specialist, who told her he’d come to her instead of making her come to him because, he loved her voice, she appeared calm and 6elf-possessed. The physician, too, was noncommittal. Finally he smiled. “We’ll have to watch you,” he said. “You’ll have been in danger, but if you are careful ...” When he was gone Beryl had another battle with herself, but this one was of short duration. It was one thing to wait a few hours, but something very different to face days of suspense—days in which Tommy might sink -to levels from Which he never could rise. She left the house quietly—for her mother had heard Dr. Auguston order her to remain in bed—and went in search of Tommy. She knew' where the Larkin house was located—an old siding building with rusty browrn paint that had peeled off in large patches with ragged edges. Polney Larkin —now the bully “Pol”—had been one of her classmates in the fifth grade at school. Then Polney had given up education for what to him were pleasanter pursuits. Now even some of the towm’s police officers w'ere known to avoid him. Tommy had been in trouble with the Larkin boys. That easily could be fatal, but this once it hadn’t been. The doctor’d have told her. She wished she’d questioned him more, but it w’asn’t easy to talk about Tommy. Why had the doctor seen Tommy? She should have asked him that. It could only mean that Tommy had been injured. a a a IN a store in the village she tried to telephone to Mr. Hoffman, but was told he had gone to the city. She hadn’t expected to learn anything from him anyway. It was plain that Tommy wasn’t confiding in his uncle. The thing to do was to go to the Larkin house, as she’d intended, and find out what she could from Pol if he W’ere at home. She hadn’t dared to take her noisy old car, so now she got a taxi and asked the driver if he knew where the Larkins lived. He looked at her in astonishment and avowed he’d tell the u'orld he did. At the house she asked if he’d Inquire for Polney Larkin, in the hope of having Pol come outside to talk with her. The driver w r as pleasant about it, but w’hoever it was that came to the door and called back inside to inform the powerful Pol that a dame wanted to see him, sent word to Beryl that she could come inside.

“Shall I wait?" the driver asked, holding the car door open for her. “Please,’’ she breathed, for the house had a dark and forbidding aspect that equaled the reputation of its owners. Perhaps its power to terrorize the timid was one reason why they did not paint it. Beryl was not timid, and so she entered and spoke calmly to the big, brutish Pol when he approached her. “Can you tell me where I may find Tommy Wilson?” she asked. Pol grinned at her. Pol liked to grin. He had exceptionally fine teeth. Com had done it, he claimed. He liked to ask questions, too. “What right you got to ask?” he returned bluntly. Beryl eyed him haughtily. “According to your standards, I probably have none,” she answered coolly. The grin left Pol’s face. “Lay off that track,” he warned Beryl sullenly. “I haven’t come here to be diplomatic," Beryl informed him. “I want to know where Tommy Wilson is.” * “We don’t give a guy,away to a skirt,” Pol retorted. Beryl turned away, then back again, knowing it was foolish to allow his lack of courtesy to defeat her. “I am not Tommy’s girl,” she said evenly. “I am a friend. And I know he was in a row with you. If you don’t tell me what you did with him, I shall go to the police.” Pol laughed. “You’re hot stuff, sister,” he told her, “but I like your spirit even if you are miles off in your reckonin’. The a hot one!” tt tt a HE was still laughing when a sound behind Beryl caused her to turn hastily in that direction. And there in a doorway leading into an inner room stood Tommy. He was haggard and entirely disreputable looking, but he showed a natural surprise at seeing Beryl. “What you doin’ here?” he asked, and his voice was as cracked as his skin. “If you’ll take me out to my taxi, I’ll tell you,” Beryl answered. Tommy glanced at Pci, who was staring at him with a crooked smile. “All right,” Tommy said uneasily, and followed her from the room. “What were you doing in that house?” she demanded of him when they were outside. “You were in a tight with those men, weren’t you?” Tommy essayed a laugh, but it was only a travesty of a sound. “Sure,” he said, “and they walloped me good and plenty. But I had it cornin’. I tried to get smart with a better man.” “But I don’t understand,” Beryl said, “why you are here, in their house.” “They’re all right.” Tommy said in defense of his new friends. “I see,” Beryl remarked scathingly. “They bea that idea into your head.” “I’d rather take a beating than a preaching,’’ Tommy warned her. Beryl instantly took a different tack. “I won’t preach to you, Tommy,” she told him softly. “Come on and let’s talk it over on the way back home.” “I’m not going home,” Tommy declared, and the determination in his voice was alarming. Urge as she would, Beryl could not persuade Tommy to leave the Larkins. He was as well off there as anywhere, he insisted. Beryl sensed that he was governed by a reason more compelling than his liking for the outfit. But she dared not voice her opinion, knowing that opposition would serve only to cement more firmly the evil association. “Please,” she begged, after all arguments had proven vain, “keep in touch with me. Tommy.” But Tommy did not keep in touch with her, and for days Beryl lived In the agony of dread. She had been put to bed, almost forcibly, and scolded by the family doctor and her mother with such clearness and emphasis that she dared not disobey. Besides, her mother watched her like a hawk. Was not her career in jeopardy? Beryl smiled over her mother’s solicitude. It would make a difference in the family should they be deprived of her salary. But she was

not bitter. Nothing mattered to her except Tommy’s welfare. And she could get no news of him. Gossip, yes. but what she heard on that score, although prefaced with “I’ve heard,” and “They say,” increased her anxiety. , (To Be Continued)

BY BEN STERN "POSSIBILITY looms that the American Legion may take over the Democratic party just as the G. A. R. assumed control of the Republican after the Civil war—if not the national organizations, then at least those in Indiana. Responsible leaders of both parties are watching carefully the development of the legion strength in the state and are studying closely the various moves on the political chess board. There can be little doubt that the ex-service men were a potent factor in the Democratic victories in the state in 1930. Especially was this true in the northern sections and in Lake county. a a a Booming of Paul V. McNutt, former Legion national commander, for Governor, is one indication of that organization’s tactics, and recognizing th estrength of its vote the Democrats placed three members on the state ticket in 1930. These Judges Walter Treanor, Posey Kime and Supreme Court Clerk Fred Pickett. Because of tills appeal to the exservice men, many Republicans are urging that Raymond Springer of Connersville, former Legion state commander, now a member of its national executive committee and Sixth district G. O. P. chairman, be nominated for Governor. The Legion’s trend toward the Democratic party along national lines, was exemplified best in the resolutions adopted at a. recent meeting of its national executive committee. a a a One of these emphasized the serious economic condition of the country and scored the business leaders, principally Republicans, for failing to warn the country of the depression. Along the same trend of thoughts, a second resolution pointed out that the high SmotHawley tariff may have contributed to the business crisis. A third assailed, by inference, Secretary Mellon for alleged misrepresentation of cost involved in paying the veterans 50 per cent laons on their adjusted compensation certificates. The Legion is also, in the main, made up of a large percentage of those opposed to the Eighteenth amendment and they feel that relief from its restriction can be obtained only through the Democratic party. From all indications, the Legionnaires are replacing the 1917-18 rallying cry of “On to Berlin” with “On to the Democratic party.”

“We will pay you well frr permission to pass through your country.” the Sheik snarled. “No!” thundered Tarzan. “Peace and profit I offered thee, Christian dog,” and Ibn Jad’s voice took on an ugly tone. “Since thou woukist have war—so be it!” Then to his men:t “Take him y an* bind hi. stet-

BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES

“Be careful, Moslem,” warned Tarzan, “the arms of the ape-man are long. They may reach out even in death and their fingers encircle thy throat.” “Thou shalt have until dark to decide,” called the Sheik to the ape-man. “Know this also, that Ibn Jad will not turn back until he Iqpkth that for which he camel”

They took Tarzan and at a distance from the beyt of Ibn Jad pushed him into a small tent Within this flimsy prison it required three men to throw him to the ground and bind his ankles, even though his wrists were already bdund. In his own quarters Ibn Jad sipped sweetened coffee and sank into profound thought.

Presently he leaned forward and addressed Tollog: “The Christian dog lies yonder, securely bound. The night will be dark. A dead Tarzan may not reach out to harm us. Thou, Tollog. shalt attend to this matter for me.” Then Ibn Jad arose and entered the quartern of hia harem. ?
