CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN THE appeal was from Irene, but It was not voiced by her. Gaylord sent it in a telegram, quite unaware that It could or would be Interpreted as a direct call for help. Irene, he said, would need to have anew skin surgically applied to one side of her face. She must be kept In the hospital longer than at first was supposed, but she was doing nicely and the grafting was necessary only to insure her against permanent disfiguration. She would like to have her mother with her if that were possible. He would defray the expenses. Mrs. Everett was horrified. “I knew it! I knew it!” she wept wildly. “I knew it! My poor little baby! Her sweet little face—l knew she was hurt badly! “Oh. aren’t you ashamed of the way you talked!” she raged at Beryl. ‘’Think of your poor sister out there all alone in a hospital and her poor little face all torn to pieces!” Beryl left the room. She had to go. Self-effacement swept over her. Had she been responsible for this thing that had happened to her sister? Irene would have been safely married to Tommy now but for her interference. And what had it done to Tommy? It nearly had wrecked him, as well as costing the end of Beryl’s career. In despair she sank to her knees beside her bed. How had she dared to interfere in the destinies of others? Remorse drove her to thoughts of penance. She must do something! Her mother’s crying came to her through the closed door and flayed her quivering soul until she believed herself solely responsible for all the Ills that had befallen the family. She must make up for it! 6he must do something! It was pitiful to think of Irene out there, helpless, except for the grudging care of an unloving husband. And Irene hadn’t asked anything of them. Sh was being brave. Os course Beryl could not know that Irene was being cared for in a private hospital room with two private nurses and every possible luxury. _ Nor could Beryl know that in her “helplessness” Irene was planning the final conquest of Tommy. a a a IRENE did not mind being in the hospital after the doctors had told her she would not be disfigured. The pain had been severe at first, but it was gone now and she could give her attention to the role of being an exquisite invalid. She had a manicurist and hairdresser in daily. And she was such a dear, sweet little thing the doctors admired her greatly. Her nurses, naturally did not share with the medical men the confidences they exchanged with each other. A few of the lesser social lights who were not sure of the outcome of her separation from Gaylord came to see her and brought her a lavish quantity of flowers. It was quite within the realm of reason, as one of these callers expressed it, that the accident would bring Gaylord and Irene together again. Thus Irene had an audience to flatter her. She wrs anything but the abject and forlorn little creature her sister had begun to picture her. There was a change when, the doctors told her she must have a transfer of skin. Then Irene became frightened and sent a tearful message to Gaylord to come to her. He arrived, steeled against an appeal for forgiveness. Irene studied his face for a moment when he entered the room ?„nd saw that It would be useless to expect more than he had given her. “I want my mother!” she wailed pathetically. “Gaylord, I want my mother! ” He promised to send for Mrs. Everett, but he did not offer more, and suddenly Irene’s mood changed. She flew into a rage and accused Gaylord of being responsible for her trouble. “You’re a selfish brute!” she railed at him. “You took me away from a boy who really loved me and then you neglected me for your business and your sports.

thought more of soap and wile ducks than you did of your wifr “I wish I’d never seen you! wish I’d let Beryl have you! I' would have served her right!” Sh stopped short of admitting tha Beryl had prevented her frorr marrying Tommy. “Yes,” Gaylord answered quietly. “I wish you had let Beryl have me. She’s worth a car load of girls like you, but I doubt if she would have had me. I don’t think money came first with her,” he added bitterly. Irene began to sob and Gaylord went away to send the message that plunged Beryl into such an abyss of self-reproach. a a a he was gone, Irene was W sorry she hadn’t asked him to send for Tommy. If Tommy could be with her now, could hold her hand for just a little while before they took her upstairs to that awful room, he’d never want to let her go again. She’d be sure of him then. “I’ll send for Tommy,” she consoled herself, “just as soon as it’s over.” What she meant was that she would send for him as soon as she was a pretty patient again. Presently she telephoned Gaylord to ask if he’d sent for her mother. He said that he had. “Will you meet her at the station and bring her here?” Irene asked. “ I don’t suppose you’d mind if she stayed at the Brightwell, would you?” The Brightwell was a fashionable hotel not far away from the hospital and Gaylord couldn’t help thinking that Mrs. Everett might be more comfortable elsewhere, but he did not say this to Irene. He was anxious to have her recover and depart from his life. If money could speed the time, he was quite willing to spend it. He had come to see Irene as hothing but a glamorously pretty little female. Mrs. Everett was frantic to reach Irene, but her condition was no longer one of mock illness. She found herself too weak and prostrated to undertake the journey. And so it was Beryl who was met at the station by Gaylord and escorted to the hotel where he had made a reservation for her mother. Irene’s thoughtfulness, however, designed to impress her acquaintances and her nurses, was lost upon Beryl. She gave no thought to her surroundings. Her one wish was to get to her sister as soon as possible. Gaylord waited in the lobby while Beryl freshened herself a bit from her railroad journey before going to the hospital. He was shocked at the change in her. When she came up to him at the station while he was looking for Mrs. Everett he did not know her until she spoke to him. Her face was drawn and thin. Gaylord wondered now if he had betrayed his shock. Lord, it was terrible! The Velvetan Girl! What had happened to her? The gardenia skin and the kind, smiling lips, the clear gray eyes that laughed or were coolly serene. e a a GAYLORD could think of nothing they were like now but ashes, gray ashes, cooling over something that had died. Was it the spirit of the girl? He watched her coming toward him after she had left the elevator and told himself that she was like something crushed. But when they got into his car and were on their way to the hospital he became conscious of another change that had come over Beryl. She showed signs of a deep, all-consuming fire of emotional unrest. “Does Irene know that you are coming, and not your mother?” Gaylord asked uneasily, for Irene’s lack of feeling toward her sister was no secret to him. “No,” Beryl said simply. Gaylord experienced the odd sensation that she was reading his mind. “Irene and I never were real sisters,” she said quietly, “but everything is going to be different now.” Gaylord did not answer, but presently he felt he should warn her. “Irene has not changed,” he said bluntly. “Perhaps not,” Beryl said, “I did not expect that. It is I who have changed, because you see it was I who was in the wrong.” Gaylord flashed her a look of sur-

prise. The steady burning of that nner light daunted him. After that le remained silent. Beryl had nothing further to say ither. She did not even ask about Irene's condition. It seemed to Gay.ord that she was obsessed with :ome thought which was all-absorb-mg. “Nothing else matters, I guess,” he decided. At the hospital he told her he would wait and take her back to the hotel. (To Be Continued)

Mr. Fixit Write your troubles to Mr. Fixit. He is The Times representative at the city ball and will be glad to present vour ease to the proper city officials. Write him in care of The Times, signing vour full name and address. Name will not be published.

Mr. Fixit—For the last several months I have been driving on West Tenth street, hoping from day to day that the Peoria & Eastern railroad and the traction company would repair their crossings at this point, five or six blocks west of Tibbs avenue. * A READER. The railroad company has promised to repair this and several other crossings in the city. City Engineer A. H. Moore said. Decision on abandoning the traction right of way is scheduled to be made this month. The efty engineer said he will do all possible to remedv the situation. Mr. Fixit—At th-e rear of 861 West Twenty-sixth street there is an old piece of an automobile that is in the way of neighbors backing their cars from garages. Will you please “fixit?” s. F. G. City Engineer A. H. Moore has ordered an investigation to determine if the object is within the alley boundaries. If so, it will be ordered removed. Mr. Fixit—A junk shop has been started in two lots in the 500 block Virginia avenue, at 524 and 518 South Noble street. Do we have to have this? SOUTH SIDER. A health board inspector who investigated reports that the site is a nsed ear garage and that seme oars have been parked in the alley, but that a notice was given to stop alley parking. Mr. Fixit—There are some lots in the 2100 block Langley, avenue which apparently belong to no one and the weeds and brush are never cut. What can be done? M. M. P. Weed catting orders will be issued by the street commissioner starting July 1. If the condition still prevails at that time, notify the street commissioner, city hall, giving him, if possible, name of the owner, or owners of the lots. Mr. Fixit—The lot next to us in the 1800 block East Forty-sixth street is full of weeds. P. E. L. W, H. Winship, street commissioner, advises that the department does not start its campaign against weeds until July 1. If the condition complained of still exists at that time, notify the commissioner’s office directly.

TARZAN, LORD OF THE JUNGLE

“Go back to your camp,” ordered Tarzan, “tonight I will come there to talk with you and your companion. Meanwhile, hunt no more except for food in Tarzan’s country.” Stimbol was too astonished to reply. He stood stupidly watching the bronzed giant growl to the gorilla and then saw both, to his vast surprise, move off t.hft jungle, shoulder to shoulder.

When he returned to camp, Stimbol found that Blake had divided the equipment as agreed. Blake was glad to be rid of his ill-natured companion, and only hoped there would be peace until they separated. “Met a monkeyjnan out there in the jungle,” was Stimbol’s •greeting. “Calls himself Tarzan of the apes and ordered mA out of jungle.’’

Jim Blake looked up in surprise. “You say you met Tarzan of the Apes?" he cried. “Great Scott, if he ordered me out of this jungle I’d go hot footed. Very few black men or whites either, have ever seen him." The subject was dropped as they tried to settle which natives • would accompany each section.

Stimbol was driven to offering the blacks a bonus, for all wanted to go with the “Young Bawana” Blake. They drew aside to consider the matter and were gone but a moment when the figure of a man appeared suddenly out of the darkness. “Hello—here's the wild man," exclaimed Stimbol. The young American turned and surveyed Tarjan, welcome and surprise in his. Ayprssirtn.
