NOW GO ON WITH Tin -TORY CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE (Continued i The nurse Chris hud seen outside appeared in the doorway. "You 11 have to go now," she said to Chris. ‘•You've already overstayed. Mrs. Travers needs to rest." "She's been asking if she can't fcee the baby again." ■ A little later," the nurse nodded. Looking at Norma she continued. ‘'Try to get some rest now and I'll hnng him to you before the night nurse comes” Chris followed the woman in Uniform from 'he room. "You’re 6t] re she's going to be all right?” rhr asked anxiou ly. "Mrs. Travers is getting along nicely," the nurse said with a curt nod. tt tt tt DURING the ten days that followed. Chris went to the hospital every evening. A* first it was hard to keep from showing how worried she felt. Norma lay back against the pillows, so pale and tired-looking. Chris, fearing the worse, persistently questioned doctors and nurses. Then as the days wore on, she bepan to believe the people at the hospital were right. Norma was growing stronger. A faint show of color reappeared in her cheeks. She laughed when the baby was beside her, making its Ft range gurgling noises, gazing at the roiling with blue eyes of ineffable depth. She always called him Mark and the name apparently failed to mouse painful memories. On the twelfth day Norma and her tiny son returned to the apartment. A nurse brought them and Stayed through the first day. After that, the flat became a place devoted exclusively to young Mark Travers' interests. If he uttered a cry, if he were sleepless, if he did a single thing off schedule two frantic young women were at his cribside. Either in spite of or because of these attentions, the infant thrived. Norma's strength was returning. She looked particularly well the day little Mark became one month old. It was Sunday and Chris ran out to the delicatessen just before luncheon for a bottle of cream. She came back to find Norma with an open newspaper. Chris halted as she caught sight of Norma's face. CHAPTER P’ORTY C NHRIS SAUNDERS tried to make * her voice sound casual. "Well,” she said, "anything startling in the news today? Any murders, any banks robbed—" The words broke off as Norma raised her head. Almost black those blue eyes looked. There were angry, flashing lights in them. "I hate them!” Norma said tensely. “Oh, how I hate them! Look!” She held up the newspaper, pointing to the paragraphs she had been reading. The heading was not in large type. "Vase Brings $15,000 at Samuels.” Frowning, Chris read what followed: "A Ming vase purchased by F. M. Travers for $15,000 brought the highest single price at. the auction cf the George K. Samuels collection

of porcelains and glassware yesterday. Receipts from the entire collection totaled $87,436.50. "Bidding on the vase brought on a spirited contest between Travers and Miss Eloise W/.lters. The vase is said to be a remarkable example—” There was more, but Chris did not bother to read it. She said, "That’s a lot of money for a vase, .it seems to me. Now that they've got it what do you suppose they'll do with it?” “It isn’t the money,” Norma interrupted hotly. "It's just reading the name all the time. F. M. Travers—why, you'd think he was some sort of god! You'd think everyI thing Mr. and Mrs. Travers do is | just perfect. "New: papers are always telling how much they give to charity. Telling about the parties they go ito ‘Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Travers I were among those in box seats.’ - Patronesses included Mr. and Mrs. Travers.’ Why don't they print the jtruth? "Why don’t they print that this wonderful F. M. Travers is deeeit- ;; 1 and unfair and cruel? And his wife just as bad! I'd like the 1 chance to let them know a few things!" "Oh. but honey—!’’ "I don't rare. Chris! They are cruel. And unfair, too! They—they've broken up my life, taken everything away from me. I wasn't hurting them any. "Mark and I didn’t ask them to help us. We were getting along all r'ght until they interfered! I tell you I hate them!" A fretful cry came from the baby’s bed. There wasc a second ' cry. Little Mark was waking from his nap. Immediately Norma was at his side, bending down over the tiny, wriggling body. She was crooning ; some peculiar sing-song nonsense that the infant seemed to understand. Norma picked him up and : the fretful crying ceased. She turned with the child in her arms. An amazing transformation had taken place. Norma's blue eyes were tender now. She laid her cheek 1 gently to the infant's, smiled at him. "Darling!” she cooed. "Mother’s precious darling!" “Remember what the doctor said about taking him up when he cries,” Chris reminded. "I know. But just this once can’t hurt!” Norma resumed the singsong crooning softly. a a tt C NHRIS carried her purchases beJ hind the screen that separated the kitchen from the living room. When she reappeared, little Mark was lying in his crib and Norma stood with the newspaper in her hand. “Fifteen thousand dollars for a vase!” Norma repeated slowly, “and their grandson’s sleeping in a sec-ond-hand bed. He’s lucky even to have that.” Chris said determinedly, “There’s something I’ve been wanting to talk to you about, Norma. I might as well say it now.” She hesitated, then continued. "Do you think you're doing the fair thing not letting Mark know about the baby?” Norma Travers’ chin lifted “He’s not to know!” she said fiercely. “I won’t have it. Chris, if I thought j you’d try to reach Mark—or his parents either and tell them—l’d never speak to you again. Never!” Don't worry about me saying or doing anything you don't want,” Chris retorted. “I guess you know' me well enough to know I take care of my own affairs and let other people manage theirs! I'm only I thinking it doesn't seem to be the right thing—” "He's not to know*!” Norma repeated. “You talk about what’s : right. Do you think Mark or anybody else has any right to my baby? "Did any of them do anything to help me when I needed help? Did they? Why, the baby might have died for all of them!” "I still think he should know,” Chris insisted. "He? Who do you mean when you say that—Mark Travers or the baby? It’s the baby I’m thinking i about. Little Mark! He’s never

going to know anything about his father or those others Travers. “I don't want him ever even to hear of them if I can help it. As far as Mark is concerned—l'm not thinking of Mark at all. I can't think of him." a u n r T''HERE was a pause. When Norma went on her voice had changed subtly. She looked at Chris, but the words came as though she were speaking to herself. "Those hot days here alone last summer—l had so much time to think it all out. It’s—not easy to talk about. That’s when I knew I had to quit thinking about Mark. "Somehow I was sure even then the baby would be a boy. I decided that if I lived and the baby lived I’d never let him know* about his father. “You see at first I blamed Mark’s parents for everything that’s happened. Afterward I knew that was a mistake. Because if Mark had really loved me—if he’d cared the way I did—nothing would have kept him away. "He'd have come back to me and no matter what any one said to him he wouldn't have believed it. He'd have come to me for the truth! "Mark didn't do that. When I made myself really face these facts, I knew I had to stop thinking about him. Well that’s—all there is to it! I told myself to stop thinking about him and I have. Little Mark’s been a big help in making me forget.” B B u /"■NHRIS crossed the room and put a hand on the omer gril’s shoulder. “I didn't know how it was,” she said quietly, "but anything you say goes with me. Get out a fresh table cloth, will you? I'll have dinner ready in five minutes if you’ll set the table.” Busying themselves over the meal provided a welcome outlet for emotion neither of the girls wished to acknowledge. A little later they sat down to an expertly browned roast, cauliflower in cream, hot rolls and a fresh green salad. Chris gave an animated account of some office happenings and the earlier subject of conversation was not resumed. If Chris was not convinced that Norma was right in failing to communicate wdth Mark, she nevertheless kept her own counsel. Keeping out of others’ personal affairs was a cardinal principle she observed rigidly. Caring for the baby, following the daily schedule provided by the hospital, gave Norma little time for introspective worries. The days passed swiftly. Young Mark was strong and healthy. It was hard for Norma to believe that babies cried when nothing in particular was wrong. That walling might be good exercise. She schooled herself to a routine of naps and feedings and nobly refrained from taking up the infant to comfort imaginary woes. At two months small Mark visited the hospital clinic and was reported of standard weight. At three months this rating was repeated and at four he showed a slight gain over the average child. “Keep on as you have been.” the doctor advised. “You’ve got a fine boy there!” (To Be Continued)

“Did you notice its great jaws,” exclaimed Gridlev, “and those teeth? That thing we just saw must have a wing spread of easily twenty feet. Why it could carry away a man. and it feeds on flesh, too!” Now indeed was the ycung Californian worried about the absent ape-man. He and Dorf hastened to the messroom. where they related what they had seen. When the ship's officers heard their description of the beasts of Pellucidar they, too, were apprehensive. “I think we should send out_a searching party” said Gridley to the captain.

‘We might cruise around a bit with .the ship,'’ suggested one of the men. "But if Tarzan meanwhile should return to this spot, could you get the ship back to this anchorage?” asked Gridley. “I don’t think we could,” replied the captain, "under the conditions existing in Pellucidar our navigating instruments are worthless.” After a careful consideration it tvas decided to send off a party of picked men in an attempt to locate Tarzan of the Apes. And preparations were speedily completed.

—By Ahern

The officers and crew who were to remain with the 0-220 assembled to bid the searching party good luck. Besides Gridley and Dorf it consisted of ten stalwart Waziri warriors. Tarzan’s faithful Muviro was in command of the fighting force. They were armed with rifles and carried plenty of ammunition, though the Waziri would have preferred merely their war spears and arrows. From the galley door the Negro cook watched them depart and swelled with pride. ‘Dem black is sure hot atuA,” he exclaimed.

Jason Gridley ordered Muviro to take the lead and watch for Tarzan's trail since he was the most experienced tracker of them all. Without difficulty they followed the spoor of the ape-man across the plain and into the forest. Hete beneath a great tree it disappeared. "The Big Ewana took to the trees.” said Muviro, “no man lives who can follow him through the leaves.” They halted to determine the next move. “What a forest,” exclaimed Gridley, “to look for a man here is like looking for that needle in the haystack.”
