BEGIN HERE TODAY BERYL BORDEN hopes that a radio career will help her forget her hopeless love for TOMMY WILSON, who Is engaged to her half-sister, IRENE. Young PRENTISS OAYLORD pavs attention to Bervi until Irene learns he Is rich and tries to wia him. She succeeds and after a hastv wedding thev deoart for Gaylord's western home. In despair Tommy drinks heavily, loses his lob. and loins evil companions. Bervidevelops throat trouble and catches more cold while seeking Tommy to beg him to leave the bootlegging gang. Her throat becomes worse and the doctor announces her singing days are over. When Tommy realizes she has made this sacrifice to rave him. he reforms, gets another lob, and starts night courses to finish college. Then Irene comes home saving she has cuarreled with Prentiss and is going to get a divorce. Bervi realize* that Irene Is trying to win back Tommy's love, MRS. EVERETT objects to Irene's receiving dally letters from DERRY MEADE. Irene goes Back to Oakdale to dispose of Derrv and try to effect a reconciliation with Prentiss, She leaves the tram at a suburban station and telepnones Derrv to meet her. While waiting. Irene talks to a store clerk. He speaks guardedly when she mentions Prentiss and Irene wonders if hs has recognized her. Then Derry comes and thev drive to a secluded spot to talk. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FORTY-THREE IRENE was not to learn that evening what it was that Derry Meade had to tell her that was so Important. One reason for this was that Irene did not give him the opportunity. Another reason was that Asa Crewe telephoned Gaylor as soon as Irene and Derry disappeared and told Gaylord that his wife had been tn the store. Asa did not know of the conditions Gaylord had imposed upon Irene and Derry, but he did know that Irene was not supposed to be in Oakdale, and that her presence there meant trickery to his friend. Asa wasn’t inclined to say who had been with Irene, but Gaylord could guess easily enough and Asa saw no occasion to lie about it, "Which way did they go?” Gaylord asked. “Toward town?’” He mean’t toward Oakdale. The river park lay in that direction from Old Town, and Asa answered yes. Then Gaylord began his search. In the meantime Irene and Derry had reached their destination, the semi-sheltered parking space in the park, and' a heated conversation had begun. Irene tried to lead gradually to the subject of breaking their engagement, but Derry’s love-sick mind leaped ahead of her. He accused her of tiring of him before she actually had spoken. “I see,” he said bitterly, “you’ve been thinking it over and you don’t want to marry a poor man.” o n THE words were accompanied by a puzzling smile. Irfene hated having any ope assume a mysterious air and her annoyance with him grew. “As far as that goes,” she said haughtily, “Gaylord is something more than a rich man.” “Yeah?” Derry retorted. “Aren't you late in finding it out? I thought he was the sort of fellow who was fi.ll right in business, but a bum in married life. Seems to me I’ve heard you say lie neglected you.” “If you choose to remember whai I said when I was unhappy,” Irene cut in, “it just proves that you wouldn’t understand me any more than Gaylord did. .1 was a fool, that’s what I was, but I’ve learned my lesson.”

“Don’t be so sure of that,” Derry cautioned her. ‘‘People don’t I change so easily.” “Derry Meade! . Are you calling me a fool?” “What if I am? But I’ll tell you one thing* You’re not going to ] make a fool out of me! I-low do you think I feel? People have been eaying I broke up Gaylord’s home.” “Well, didn't you?” “I guess you had something to do with it. A man doesn't go all the way -dthout some encouragement. I’d never have told you I was crazy about you if you hadn’t said you were unhappy.” “Oh, you wouldn't?” Irene scoffed. “How about that night at the Harmons’ bam dance?” "Bad gin.” “Os course. Lay it on the drinks. I might have known you'd make excuses!” ‘‘Well, I wasn’t drunk when I told you I’d fallen for you, and I'm not drunk now. I’m oft the stuff and I’m telling you I still love you. I don’t want to hear any more talk about mistakes.”

IRENE looked at him In amazement. Derry’d never shown so much spirit before. What had come over him, anyway? “Dear me,” she murmured sarcastically. “Aren’t you Impressive when you’re giving orders!” "Never mind being cmart! Just listen to me.” “Listen to you!” Irene flared at him. “It wouldn’t make any difference what ycu said after calling me a fool, you conceited idiot!” “Conceited?” Derry echoed, not minding the “idiot.” “Yes, conceited. To think a girl could love you and not care for Gaylord. Just because he’s rich— r-” “Just because he’s rich he’s what you want, no matter how much you pretend otherwise. You don’t give a snap of your fingers for him. You couldn’t care for any one, I guess.” Irene laughed. “Just because I’ve discovered that I don’t care for you?” Derry winced. "So you have discovered that?” he said fiercely. “It has nothing to do with the fact that I haven’t any money?” Irene looked at him disdainfully. "You will persist in your conceit,” she said as though merely musing aloud. Then Derry laughed. “My mother warned me w 7 hat to expect,” he remarked with no small degree of disgust. “Well, I w r anted to do the right thing. “You can laugh,” he added unemotionally, as Irene continued to smile. “Os course I love you, but I don’t want to be known as a home wrecker.” Irene regarded him mockingly. “Haven't you found that it adds to your reputation?” she sneered. Derry looked back at her, his eyes blazing with anger. “If all girls are like you,” he said tensely, “I won’t need a reputation." a u tt IRENE did not understand this but she chose to appear offended. “Derry Meade,” she cried, “if you say anotheer thing like that, I’ll slap your face!” “I guess you don’t quite understand,” Derry said quietly, “but you will later, and when you do, you’ll see that the joke's on you.” “You needn’t try to excuse yourself by talking in riddles,” Irene retorted. “If you ever speak to me again after today, I’ll ” She paused on the verge of threatening him with punishment at the hands of her husband, but remembered in time that she had no right to that husband’s protection. It was a faint hope that Gaylord _ would forgive her. She knew this* and did not w r isn to risk ridicule. “Do you intend to sttay in Oakdale?” Derry asked. “You said a while agß you weren’t going to. What are you going to do, Irene? Did you come out here to tell me you’ve made up with Gaylord?” “Never mind what I came for. I thought you were a gentleman, but ow I’m not a bit sorry for you.” “You needn’t be if you go back to Gaylord,” Derry told her. “I suppose I could expect you might do that. But if I thought there was another man in the picture I’d wring your neck right now.” “You’ve become terribly ferocious since I went away, haven’t you?” Irene taunted him. “What’s come over you anyway?” Derry looked at her thoughtfully. Then he said soberly, “You’re through with me, aren’t you?” Irene avoided his eyes. “Yeah, it’s final all right,” Derry continued. “I can see that. Well, I suppose I might as well tell you myself about what’s happened to me. I’d rather like to see how you take it.

“First, there’s just one question I want to ask you. Did you ever care anything at all for me or were you playing with me all the time?” “Os course I cared for you,” Irene insisted, “but caring isn’t love, Derry. Maybe you’ll find that cht some day, too.” “I’ll take your word for it,” Derry assured her, “since you seem to know so much about love. I thought I loved yoij, but maybe I only cared for you.” a a a IRENE did not like to hear this and was not satisfied that the tone he used seemed to belie the words. It was too much like losing

something that beloved to her. “Don’t be mean to me, Derry,” she pleaded, suddenly becoming gentle again. “I didn’t mean to hurt you.” Derry laughed. “Just like a loaded gun, huh? If any one plays with you and gets hurt, it’s not your fault. Oh, no, not at all.” “I didn’t ask you to fall in love with me,” Irene reminded him. “No,” he said bitterly, “you only did all you could to make me do it, that was all. You didn’t need to ask me.” Irene hedged again. “Can’t we come to an understanding?” she urged. “I'm getting cold.” “Os course we can," Derry agreed. “I’m satisfied. I just wanted to know that you cared a little for me. It will make it easier to believe that * you wouldn’t have throwm ms over if I’d been able to offer you the things Gaylord can give you. “I shouldn’t blame you, 1 guess. It was asking an awful lot to expect you to be content with me after living in the Prentiss mansion. No, I shouldn’t blame you.” Irene misunderstood. “I’m glad you see it that way at* last, Derry. It would be awfully hard for you to try to support me in the manner I’m accustomed to. “I have been thinking it over, as you said, and I realized it might spoil all your future to have an extravagant wife to take care of. You’re so popular. You ought to marry someone with plenty of money.” Derry interrupted by seizing her savagly in his arms: “Just tell me that you’d rather have me than anyone else in the world if I could support you,” he said. “Then I’ll take you anywhere you say, and I’U never bother you again.” “Why, of course, I would,” Irene said softly. “And I mean it, too, Derry!” He let her go abruptly then, and Irene was shocked to see that he was laughing. What he said was even more surprising. “That’ll do,” he said. “I guess I can laugh it all off now. And I’m glad I found out what a little parasite you are before I told you anything about—” Irene was not listening to him, compelling as his words w-ere. She was looking down the road over which they had entered the park. Her face whitened suddenly. Derry followed her gaze when he saw that she was not listening. He recognized Gaylord’s car just as Irene screamed her husband’s name. (To Be Continued) Fair to Open Aug. 24.

TARZAN, LORD OF THE JUNGLE

“This is the end,” said Blake. “You and I are through. Tomorrow morning we split the safari and equipment. Whichever way you go, Stimbol, with your half, I’ll go in the opposite direction.” The two men returned their guns to their holsters, the bleeding black arose and presently the Safari was again on the move, a sullen Safari, without laughter or, song.

Jimmy Blake made camp at the first available ground in order to divide the equipment, food and men. Stimbol, sullen, would give no assistance. Instead, taking two armed natives with him he started out from camp to hunt, grumbling that" it might be his last chance. A mile along a soft-padded game trail they had gone when the native in the lead held up his hand. ‘ 11

Dimly through the foliage, Stimbol saw a black mass moving slowly away from them. “Gorilla,” whispered the nearest black. Stimbol raised his rifle, fired—and missed. Into the Jungle they pressed and again came within sight of the retreating gorilla. Each time Stimbol fired, he missed. Secretly the blacks were amused and pleased, for they did not like StimboL *

At a distance Tarzan of the Apes, hunting with the tribe of Toyat, heard the first shot. A shot from a high powered rifle meant white men, and it was the ape-man’s business to know what strangers were there and why. Racing through the trees, swinging from limb to limb, Taiwan sped toward the sound. 1
