Slowly fear grows in Beryl's heart as she realizes Irene Is trying to win back Tommy’s love. * MRS EVERETT questions Irene about the dally letters she is receiving from Derry. Irene decides to dispose of Derry. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FORTY-ONE IRENE had consumed two muffins before 6he decided she might as well begin immediately with her plan for getting rid of Derry Meade. “Will you press my green silk dress?” she asked her mother. “I want to wear it on the train.” “On the train?” “Yes, I’m leaving this afternoon for Oakdale. I’ve some business there to attend to,” Irene added importantly. Her mother was worried. “There’s nothing wrong, is there?" she inquired anxiously. Irene shrugged “No, it’s just something I want to see Gaylord about.” Her mother’s face cleared and Irene guessed that she hoped there was to be a reconciliation. Irene had intended her to hope this, thereby making her own departure easier. Mrs. Everett did not question her further. “Please don’t say anything to Beryl and dad until I’m gone,” Irene asked. “I don’t care to talk about my plans.” Her mother agreed with her that silence was best. Irene left without saying goodby to Tommy, and 6ince her mother naturally would lead him to suppose she had gone' to remain, Irene hoped he would realize his loss. All the way to Oakdale she occupied herself with thoughts of her return to Tommy, making plans for their future together and even planning their weddding. She’d wear a gown of delicate pink with just the softest tint of yellow in it. A satin with deeper rose slippers, hat to match and an armful of pink and yellow roses. Really it wasn’t so far to Oakdale —not half the distance it had seemed when she left the town. She must watch out for that little station they called Old Town, where Oakdale had been before it moved up the hill. She would get off the train there and telephone. Surely there would be a telephone In the station. It would be too great a risk to go on to the Oakdale station, where she would be sure to encounter some acquaintances. a a a IRENE had written home about the beautiful Oakdale station once, to boast that Mr. Prentiss, her father-in-law, had given the park adjoining it to the town and placed a handsome drinking fountain in the middle of the park in honor of the memory of his deceased wife, Gaylord’s mother. She thought of this now, as the train bearing her back to the scene of her brief married life, slowed for the stop at Old Town. It was an express, but all trains stopped at Old Town. You could get off the fast trains there, but you could not get on them. Irene had little fear of meeting any one she knew in Old Town. She thought of the prominence of the Prentiss family. Tommy Wilson was a nice boy. She really loved Tommy. But the Prentiss mansion was the finest house in town. Darn Derry Meade anyhow! Why didn’t he stay where he belonged and not go chasing after young married women. . . . Irene was working up a state of righteous indignation against Derry. He was to blame for all this. Gaylord’s father had been going to give her a car of her own choice next summer. He’d even hinted about a generbus settlement on both mother anc

child when the first Prentiss grandchild should arrive. Irene wondered if she hadn’t been hasty in making him understand she considered it far too early in her life for her to think of having children. “That’s all old people ever think of when their children get married." she remembered complaining to Gaylord. “It’s perfectly disgusting! Don’t they suppose a girl wants to have a little pleasure in life before she settles down?” She had not quite understood the way Gaylord had looked at her on that, occasion. The porter helped her off the train and Irene Rave him a quarter. He pocketed it with no warmth : of gratitude in his mumbled, “Thank : you. Miss.” Irene had been a difficult passen- ; ger. She had fruit and she wanted : it kept on ice. She had flowers and stacks of magazines. She’d bought them all herself and taken a drawing room besides. But she did not deny her fellow passengers the pleasure of looking at her flowers. She kept her drawing room door open and the flowers on display during the day. The fruit was brought to her after meals in the dining car. Tea was served to her in her room and she sent back several i times for dainties she thought she; would like. IT made her feel like a princess to travel thus and she half-hoped the other passengers would think her a motion picture actress going to Hollywood. She kept her motion picture magazines prominently in sight. In company on the trip there were several fascinating young men who picked up magazines and opened doors for Irene, who gave her a seat whenever she appeared in the crowded club car, though the only proper place for her on the train was the observation platform. Those who remained on the train by the time it reached Oakdale were sorry to see her go, but the porter was not. “Two bits an’ a coupla measly dimes,” he grumbled to a fellow porter. The other porter showed a dollar from a lower berth passenger and grinned. “I’se la ugh tin’ last,” he proclaimed heartily. Irene had to carry her suitcase herself when she finished saying goodby to her new acquaintances just outside the train. She hadn’t wanted to have it taken into the station until she saw who was about. The suitcase was light. She’d told her mother she wouldn’t bother about her wardrobe until her “business” in Oakdale was settled. Mrs. Everett understood this to mean until Irene had made up with Caylord. • Seeing no one she knew Irene entered the small and dingy station and looked arcund for a telephone. There was none in the waiting room and the station agent was away. Across the street there was a small general store. Irene went over to see if she could telephone there. She was annoyed to find the instrument in the open, but the store was deserted except for the presence of a young man, who told her she could use the telephone “with pleasure,” and she needn’t say much to Derry. The young man had been staring at her, at first openly and then, apparently remembering his manners, more guardedly, ever since entered the place. Irene was flattered. She accepted this interest as a compliment. Her fur coat was eastern mink and if the youth didn't know that he couldn’t help knowing it wasn’t cheap. Her snug little hat, which barely covered the crown of her head and allotted her wealth of sunny hair to show, was the cutest thing she’d ever owned. a a a IRENE smiled over her shoulder as she asked for a number, and she pouted prettily when she failed to get Derry on the line. She tried again and again, and at last was told that Derry was skating on the lake at the country club. She asked to have a message sent

to him and gave the number of the store from which she was telephoning so that Derry might call her. After that she was free to amuse herself for a while. Suddenly it occurred to her that the young store clerk might have some interesting gossip about some of the people she knew. It might even be possible that she could learn something to indicate Gaylord would like to have her return. She’d play her part in a reconciliation if Gaylord and his father would come half-way. Traveling in luxury had impressed her again with a measure of what she’d lost. She did not know that it is much easier for a poor man to imagine himself rich than for a rich man to imagine himself poor. Ease and luxury coming to Irene suddenly had given her the idea that she commanded such things because she was herself beautiful. Since she’d left Gaylord, she had realized that, rich young men do not fall into every beautiful girl’s life. Asa Prentiss, she’d had the opportunity to meet men of wealth. She had not attracted one of them. As an ex-Prentiss she was again just Irene Everett, daughter of a 1 small town grocer. She hadn’t enough of the Prentiss money to rise far above this station, and she had no career to remove her from it. She might grow old before she met another wealthy man who wanted to marry her. Irene tried to open conversation, but the young clerk seemed shy. She still was trying to make him talk when the telephone rang. (To Be Continued) BUSINESS IS GOOD.

TARZAN, LORD OF THE JUNGLE

Tartan jumped to his feet just as the band of apes swung into the clearing. Toyat, the king, led them, growling menacingly. “Tarmangani!” he cried, leaping into the air and coming down on all fours. He struck the ground savagely with his clenched fists. He growled and foamed and leaped again and again. Tarzan knew he was working himself into a pitch of rage, hoping It would arouse the savage spirit of his fellows.

“Kill the Tarmanganl!” shrieked Toyat. “He comes to make dead our shes and balus.” “It is Tarzan of the Apes,” growled M’walat, “our friend. When I was a little balu, he saved me from Numa.” Several bulls were now circling and leaping about as M’walat placed himself at the apeman’s side. Tarzan knew them well. Sooner or later, one of them would excite himself to such a pitch of frenzy that he would suddenly leap upon him* J.

Then it would be a free for all fight from which not all would emerge alive. Tarzan of Apes did not wish to battle with his friends. He raised his open palm to attract attention. Then he spoke to them, calming their fears and briefly relating the story of his boyhood among the apes of Kerchak. His tone was one of quiet authority and the anthropoids gradually paused to listen to his words. But it was a long speech foe jungle folks. , .

Already, before hewas finished, one bull was overturning a rotting log, looking for insects Soon the others lost interest and either foraged for food or squatted in the grass. Toyat himself at length forgot his anger. And so Tarzan ranged again with the great apes, loafing lazily through the forest with the shaggy brutes for many days, while northward, Sheik Ibn Jad crept slowlrßeward the leopard city of Hinson.
