BEGIN HERE TODAY BERYL BCJiDEN. secretly In love with TOMMY WILSON, knows that he never would be happy with her halfsifter. IRENE EVERETT, and tries to prevent their marriage. Irene is Jealous when ahe falls and Beryl secures a radio contract. Beryl's voice wins her new' friends, but she can not forget her hopeless love, though she goes to parties with young PRENTISS OAYT/ORD. Irene learns that Prentiss is rich and tries to win him from Beryl. Tommy's aunt dies and he loses both loh and money through her husband. Tommy tells Irene his rad/luck and she breaks the engagement. When Prentiss asks her to marry him she accepts. In despair. Tommy drinks heavily and Barvl finds him. She tries to cheer him up and tells Irene she must go back to Tommy or Inform Prentiss how heartlessly she has acted. Irene promises, then slips away and marries Prentiss, telephoning the news home. v Next morning Beryl's throat Is in a serious condition and a noted specialist is called. He advises extreme caution which Beryl disregards when she hears Tommy is in bad company. iiho flips out of the house and goes to a bootlegger's rendezvous, where she finds Tommy. He is affected by her pleading, but srems unable to break ewav from the gang. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR (Continued.) SHE sent for Mr. Hoffman and he came, but said he “had washed his hands of the young pup.” Beryl could get no encouragement from him. She prevailed upon her mother, on threat of going out to do it herself. to make inquiries concerning Tommy at various places, but this did her no good, either. For Mrs. Everett lied to her. She thought it best, for the truth about Tommy was not pleasant. Beryl learned it quickly enough, however, when, after a fortnight, she was allowed to leave the house. Tommy had joined with the Larkin gang in earnest. Beryl heard that he had been with them in certain midnight smuggling operations designed to aid in assuaging scofflaw thirst. But this was only rumor and she refused to bqlieve it until she had talked with Tommy. After this news Beryl was more heartsick than ever. She knew that Tommy had got into something he couldn’t get out of without more trouble than he at present had the courage to face. He did not tell flier frankly, but the understood that his association with the Larkins had begun in a spirit of defiance, and that he was held to it by taunts. Tommy said he wished she and let him alone. What had he got out of life trying to please other people, anyhow? Beryl attempted to bait him with news of Irene. It was the only way she could get to see him. She would drive to the Larkin dwelling—from all she could learn Tommy was living there—a,nd park opposite ‘the front door for hours at a time. There seemed to be some smaller members of the family, and occasionally they threw such things as overripe tomatoes and rotting apples at her. Beryl suspected they’d have thrown rocks if they dared and the thought that Tommy was affording her some protection made it possible for her to endure the ridicule of the Larkins. Tommy never would come out except when she could get someone to carry in word that she had news from the west. He came reluctantly. for Beryl would-plead with him a little before telling him anything about Irene. But one time she tricked him, for she had something else to tell him. a a tt CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE AMONG the cards Beryl held in her game with Tommy there was one ace. It was a black ace and she hoped it would trump anything that Tommy could produce. It should, she thought, as she drove slowly toward the Larkin house. It had cost her enough to impress any one with the slightest sense of honor. And she could not believe that Tommy's character had become undermined completely. The look of worry on her face tonight (She did not often drive near the Larkin place at night) was marked. She had not seen Tommy for three weeks. The avalanche she feared had descended upon her only the day before and she was certain Tommy had not heard about it. The night was chilly It was early fall. Beryl had not brought a wrap and the sweater she was wearing was scarcely warm enough.

She shivered slightly. “I'm always either too hot or too cold,” she thought impatiently. But impatience was such a slight burden compared with the black despair she -had known. She hoped to feel as she had when Dr. Augustcn told her, “Your voice Is gone, Miss Borden.’’ THEY had left her alone. She had asked them to. And what she had thought and what she had suffered had blocked out h§r youth —left her a woman. She was a woman tonight as she went to find Tommy. She felt charitable toward him. She might have lost her voice anyway without tramping in the dew and being out when she should have been in bed. Tommy hadn’t asked her to do that. She couldn't blame Jiim. Besides Tommy had helped her. His need was the price of her misfortune. Her future should not be sacrificed for nothing. Ever since the thought had come to her that now she could mhke an appeal which Tommy must listen to Beryl had been resigned to the hopelessness of her situation. She even found it a relief not to have to worry about the inadequacy of her sweater. It wouldn’t matter now if she caught cold. Her voice was gone. Something In her throat had hardened. The voice wasn’t coming back. Her face was a little white, but in her eyes there "was a vision of Tommy—tall and slim and brown and gay. Tommy as he had been, not the unkempt loafer he had become. How she .hated those bloodshot streaks in his eyes. He had even talked roughly to her when she had dogged him until he was exasperated. tt tt tt IT had happened the night Pol had got into trouble. Pol had got out of it, but Tommy wouldn’t have. He’d have been made the goat. Beryl had parked her car in front of Pol s house when he and Tommy came out to get into a truck which stood in the driveway. Beryl went over to them and insisted she would follow £he truck if Tommy went with Pol. Pol looked at Tommy. “All right,” he said sharply, “we’ll settle this* later, Tom.” “I guess you know what that means," Tommy exclaimed to Beryl as Pol drove away. “I’m in bad. Pol’s had about enough of you!” “Then quit him,” Beryl returned coolly, “and save yourself from being kicked out of his gang.” Tommy had sworn angrily and walked away. Pol was arrested that night. It didn’t come to anything, but he blamed Tommy and thereafter Tommy had evaded Beryl with complete success except for one accidental meeting. That was three weeks ago, Irene hadn’t written and Beryl had no excuse to tempt Tommy into a talk. After tonight she would have no difficulty in seeing him or she would not want to see him. “For I’m not going to crawl to him if he isn’t worth it,” she told herself. She wouldn’t have planned- a test for him, but this one that had been thrust upon her would measure Tommy’s character for all time for Beryl. To put a soul upon the dissecting table is not an agreeable thing. Beryl, in her night of struggling with her new misfortune, had grown more tolerant, yet she knew that if Tommy failed her now she could never believe in him again. tt tt SHE was not frightened as she might have been for believing in Tommy was all that was left to her. The thread of doubt that ran through her hope was a thin one but sufficient to make her realize what she was doing. If she lost, her life would be barren indeed. After arriving at the Larkin house she sat aw'hile in her decrepit old car and weighed the potentialities of her venture. She could find nothing to induce her to turn back. And no matter what the thought, there was Tommy. She saw him as he stood in the middle of the Larkins’ livng room to turn on a light. The shades were up and the glaring light flooded the shabby room w’ith a hard white brilliance, turning it into a stage for Beryl. She

saw Tommy light ancj pick up a newspaper. Then she put the palm of her hand down hard on the button that sounded the horn of her car and sent forth a raucous call. She repeated it in rapid succession several times, making it too peremptory for any one to ignore—least of all Tommy, who reasonably might expect that it was one of the crowd calling him. Beryl held her breath as he came to answer the call. She had purposely parked her car in the shadow of a large maple tree. Tofnmy did not Recognize it until he was within speaking distance. Then he swore unaer his breath and prepared to retreat, but Eeryl was out of the car in a flash and clinging to his arm. a a a “■pvON’T be a coward!” she chalJL/ lenged. “Besides, there’s no one home, is there?” “Why can’t you mind your own business?” Tommy retorted. “That’s just "what I am doing,” Beryl said. “Please come with me Tommy, somewhere where we can talk. I want to tell you something —about myself. I’m in trouble, too, now.” Tommy drew back and tried to peer at her in the semi-darkness. People rarely thought of giving Beryl sympathy. She never seemed to need it. , Beryl continued urging while he hesitated. Her voice was fraught with despair and it was genuine. She clutched at Tommy, suddenly afraid with a blind unreasoning fear, that he would not listen to her. “Please, Tommy. You've always helped me when I needed you. Don’t you see, I need you now? There’s no one else I can talk to.” Tommy turned back toward the car. “Get in,” he said gruflßy. “I don’t want you hanging around here. Pol.won’t stand for it.” “You drive,” Beryl said, and slipped into the seat at the right. She was trembling so she could not have held the wheel steadily. Tommy became aw r are of her increasing agitation. “What’s the matter with you?” he asked bluntly. Words to answer him were jumbled in Beryl’s mind. She did not know which to use. How could she tell him? a a a SUDDENLY she put her face down in her hands and Tommy was astonished to hear the sobs that was torn from her lips. He drove the car to the side of the road and stopped. Beryl, crying, was a complete stranger to him. “Gee,” he said awkwardly like a little boy, “gee, Beryl, don’t cry.” Beryl lifted her head. “I know,” she said, “it’s a nice way to act after dragging you out here to listen to me.” She dabbed viciously at her eyes. “I’ve had a tough break, Tommy. It’s tough for you, too, because I’ve get to tell you the truth. My voice is gone. I may never sing again and . . . and they say it wouldn’t have happened if I’d obeyed the doctor.” “Why didn’t you?” Tommy asked logically enough. “Because I couldn’t,” Beryl told him. “It was you, Tommy. You needed a friend. And you can’t deny that there were times when you’d have got in a lot deeper with j Pol if you hadn’t had me on your! trail.” “Yes,” Tommy admitted. “I guess ! that’s so. Do you mean that ” j He paused and Beryl finished for i him.

TARZAN, LORD OF THE JUNGLE

Far into the night Tarzan struggled to fr<?e himself from the thongs that bound his wrists. The taut camel leather withstood even the might of his giant thews. Then he lay listening to the night noises of the jungle. Many of them were sounds that no other human ear could hear. But none of his jungle friends seemed near enough to aid him.

In the shadows of her father’s tent Ateja loitered, and with her was Zeyd, whispering his love. The Sheik had willed that his daughter should belong to the Harem of Fahd. Ateja hated and feared Fahd almost as much as she did Tollog, her uncle. Besides, she believed these two were plotting against her father. And so Ateja, even while with her beloved, was far frega happy.

Suddenly the menzil was astir. Beduins leaped to their feet, black slaves, cowering, peered into the darkness. Muskets were hastily seized. But the weird, uncanny cry that had unnerved them was not repeated. “It was the voice of a beast—or a devil!” said Tollog to Ibn Jad. “It could not have bpa— hel”

“But it came from where he lies!” insisted Ibn Jad. Fearfully they ran hither and examined Tarzan’s bonds, which the ape-man had almost loosed. “Tie his wrists again, and tighter. In front this tirpe,’’ ordered the Sheik. Then to Tarzan: “Did you hear a cry?” “Yes, I heard it " said Tarzan grimly, “but why disturb me? It was but the call o i one beast to
