Blowly fear grows In Beryl's heart as she realizes tnat Irene Is trvlngto win back Tommy's love. MRS. EVERETT questions Irene about the dally letters she Is receiving from Derrv. Irene decides to dispose of Derrv and returns to Oakdale. She gets j off the train and telephones to him from • suburb. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FORTY-TWO DERRY was so delighted to hear from Irene that he completely lorgot his hcckey game and did not go back. He promised to drive immediately to Old Towm and Irene told him she'd be waiting at the store. Derry drove with reckless speed on a pavement made glassy by a sud-; den drop in temperature following a 1 thaw. Asa matter of fact he arrived too soon for Irene. She was having a very interesting time with the young store clerk. The youth was obviously trying to cover up an excitement that even Irene found a little surprising, but the more she pressed him with questions in an effort to make him talk the more frequently he answered in monosyllables. She grew a little uneasy at last, when it occurred to her that possibly had recognized her. She started talking about New York, leading up to it by comparing the climate there with the climate in Oakdale. It was very cold in Oakdale, wasn't it? She'd been told so. Out of this she flashed a question at him that had nothing to do with the weather. “Have you ever?” she asked 1 bluntly, “met Gaylord Prentiss’ j wife?’’ The young man started, but he was not so much caught off his guard as Irene had expected he would be. “No,” he said shortly, but Irene was not quite convinced that he was telling the truth. “I heard about her on the train,” she went on blandly. “She left her husband, didn't she?” “Something like that.” Irene laughed. “I suppose I appear to have a lot of curiosity about her, don’t I? You see, she came from New York, too. “And I’m engaged to a western boy and when I heard ...” she paused and sighed wistfully. “I wonder if east and west are so different.” “It’s all America,” said the youth. “Yes, you are right,” Irene agreed sweetly. “But it’s Just too sad, isn’t it? Was he very much broken up? Her husband, I mean You know him, don’t you?” “Yes.” “Oh, you do! Tell me about him,” she begged eagerly. “Nothing to tell.” “Hasn’t he found any one to console him?” “Don’t ask me.” “Well—oh, I see, you have seme of these old-fashioned heart candies. I think I'll buy some. I love oldfashioned things. And I hate to think of a marriage breaking up. “I think people should know what to look out for when they’re thinking of getting married, don’t you? That’s why I’d like to know why those two weren’t happy. It might help me to keep from making the same mistake.” tt a a THE young man did not answer and Irene was certain then that he would not discuss the Prentiss family affairs. But she persisted in keeping up her running comments, hoping he’d slip and give her some information if he had any. Certainly she couldn’t expect Derry to tell her anything that

would encourage her to make an overture to Gaylord. After she had broken with Derry, she would become engaged to Tommy. She must settle that quickly before anything happened to make Tommy realize that it was Beryl he loved. But before she settled it she wanted to know that she was not passing up a chance for a reconciliation with Gaylord. She was tempted for a moment to ppeal to Gaylord, to telephone him at once and cast herself upon his mercy. She could do the repentant act very beautifully, she told herself, and then Gaylord might buy her something especially nice. These thoughts were sandwiched in between remarks to the store clerk. She had a bit of difficulty in not giving her identity away, but she was excited agreeably over her new plans and did not like it at all when Derry appeared. He came In, flushed and sparkling of eye. “Well,” Irene said as they climbed into his car, “you don’t seem to have such a hard time. You wrote that you were worn to a shadow.” “But that’s all over now that you’re here,” Derry laughed. “Oh, boy, I am happy.” He turned and threw an arm around her, “Stop!” she said sharply “Some one will see us.” “What does it matter? You’ll belong to me in just a little while.” “Oh, it seems a little while to you?” Derry was puzzled. “Say, you didn’t come all the way out here to quarrel with me, did you?” he asked e tt tt IRENE squirmed out of his arms. “Have some sense,” she admonished him. “Have you forgotten what Gaylord will do if he finds out we’ve seen each other?” “I hoped you’d fixed that with him,” Derry said anxiously. “I thought he might have consented to your coming back.” “You did?” Irene said scornfully. “Then you’re certainly stupid. Why should I get off the train here at Old Town if I had Gaylord’s permission to come back?’ “I thought of that,” Derry defended himself, “and I thought it might be so we could drive in together and decide what to do. I thought you might feel a little embarrassed perhaps ” “You mean people have been talking about me?” Irene asked. “They’d have to say something,” Derry evaded. “But you’ll be welcome at my home. Mother will be glad to have you.” Irene broke into a jibing laugh. “You don’t suppose I’ve come here to stay, do you?” she asked. “Derry, don’t be an utter fool.” “I was too glad to hear your voice to think much of anything,” Derry told her. “I’ve told‘mother we’re going to be married.” “Derry, you didn’t! What did she say?” “I’m afraid she didn’t like it, at first, to tell you the truth, but—” “Yes, I know,” she cut In. “You’ve always been allowed to have your own way, Derry, and now you think you can do as you please and make your parents like it.” “It’s my life,” Derry insisted. “Yes,” Irene agreed, “but you won’t live long if you don’t start driving. I’ve a hunch that kid in there knows who I am.” “Kid?” Derr}' repeated. “That’s Asa Crewe.” “Well, and who is Asa Crewe?” “His father owns the store. It's a habit, I guess, because they don’t have to bother with a place like that. They struck oil out at Scarfield last year.” “Why, I thought he was just a clerk—” “Was he there when you telephoned to me?” “Yes, but I called myself Miss Everett. Unless he knows a lot about the Prentisses, he’d hardly know my real name.” “But you said you thought he recognized you.” “He looked at me rather queerly.” “If he knew you, it’s no wonder,” Derry informed her. “He’s a great friend of Gaylord’s.”

“HHHEN for heaven’s sake hurry A and let’s get away from here,” Irene implored. “We’ll probably freeze to death if we stay out long In this weather, but I think we’d better drive down to the park by the river. It’s sure to be deserted.” “Don’t you think we’d better go home?” Derry protested. “It will soon be dinner time. Aren’t you tired after your trip?” “There's plenty of time to rest,” Irene said in a tone that carried with it a rebuke, “and I’ve something very important to tell you, Derry.” Her voice had changed. Its irritability was gone and in its place there was a note of tenderness which was none the less sweet to Derry’s ears because it was false. Irene was especially good at pretending emotions she did not feel. Derry was so relieved to find that she was no longer cross he did not worry over what she wanted to tell him. It seemed to him that they had a world of important things to say to each other. In fact, he had something especiallly important to say to Irene, something he’d been going to write when he composed his daily letter to her after dinner. Tnis new habit of staying home at night to write Irene had been one of the arguments he had used to bring his mother to agree to his proposed marriage to Irene. Did she want him to be footloose again, running around with first this girl and then that one? Wasn’t it better for him to be athome? When he was married and settled down he would get somewhere in life. A single fellow had a hard time. People wouldn’t let him alone . . , and so on. So they drove to the river, Derry and Irene, each thinking of “something important” to tfell the other. (To Be Continued)

Mr. Fixit Additional billboards are being erected on the south side of Maple road from Washington boulevard to Delaware street. What are the restrictions on their erection? How far back from the street must they be? NORTH SIDER. Park board records show permission to install one new panel at this location. together with rebuilding or replacing the other panels there. This permit was given to a biUboard company which recently obtained permission to modernize all its boards on boulevards, reducing the total number from 133 to 115. Billboards on Maple road must be twenty-five feet back of the property line, although in different parts of the city the restriction varies from fifteen to seventy-five feet. A permit from the park board is required to install billboards. Mr. Fixit—l have ruined two good tires in holes between Maple road and Forty-Second street, on Boulevard place. The holes are terrible and could be fixed, at least temporarily, with cinders. AN INSURANCE AGENT. A. H. Moore, city engineer, has referred this to the street repair department for investigation.

TARZAN, LORD OF THE JUNGLE

In another part of the jungle events were transpiring that were to entangle Tarzan in the meshes of a great adventure. A black porter caught his foot in a hanging vine and stumbled, throwing his load to the ground. Os such trifles are crises made! This one altered the entire life of Jimmy Blake, American, rich, young and handsome and on his first African big game hunt.

Blake’s “Safari” had encountered the poorest of luck and was about to turn back to Railhead. Wilbur Stimbol had come as Jimmy's guest and guide, but had proved rather a poor sport. Now he was disgruntled by Blake’s decision to return home. Suddenly the load, falling from the black porter’s shoulders crashed forward into Stimbol, hurling him to the ground.

—By Ahern

Stimbol and the black porter scrambled to their feet amidst the laughter of the Negroes who had witnessed the accident. The porter grinned. Stimbol was livid with rage. Before anyone could interfere, the white man struck the black a terrific blow in the face that felled him, and as he lay there Stimbol kicked him savagely, yelling; “Take that, you clumsy curl”

Before he could repeat the outrage, Blake seized him by the shoulder, wheeled him about and struck him precisely as he had struck the black. Stimbol fell, rolled over and reached for his automatic. Before he could draw it, Blake had him covered with a .45. “Cut that!” said Blake, crisply. “Now get up and listen to me/’
