NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE 'Continued) No, what had marie it necessary to shoot her was what happened later. “De Loma kicked hell out of her.” She had been killed purely out of revenge, to satisfy the man’s murderous fury at the horse for “letting him down." n n n , 'T'HE others, however, were no1. ticeably relieved at De Loma’s explanation. When she could trust herself to look tsp Mary surprised a look of Intent speculation on the other woman’s face as she studied De Loma under sleepy lids. ‘She must have cost you a good hit, today, eh?” the throaty voice murmured. “Too much!” De Loma wetted. Out of the corner of her eye Mary thought she saw a darkvisaged man who had been hovering about the door beckon to De Loma just then, but she could not be stire. She looked about casually, but the man had turned his back. He seemed to be poring over something he held in his hand. Then he put something in his vest pocket—perhaps a fountain pen. Dc Loma had risen to go and she did not want to stare. “We will sec you again?” the countess asked. De Loma’s jaw shut like a trap. “I must go now,” he replied, his eyes on the man in the doorway. “Some business matters. I will see you later.” He came round the table and stared down at Mary, unsmiling. “I shall hope to dance with you again,” he said politely. “Thank you. Shall you be at the fete?” Mary put all the invitation at her command into the look she sent straight into the black, inscrutable eyes. For an instant she went hot and com with fear that she had done it too crudely. That “come-hither” look had been far too bald—if the man had any sense he would be disgusted. She could not know, however, what De Loma read in the blush of lovely confusion that overspread her cheeks. He was human and he was vain. He brought his heels together and made her a jaunty bow. “That’s a date ” he said. “I shall be there!” CHAPTER THIRTY chap,” Bates remarked 1 .1. n dryly, as De Loma departed. “What is he—Frenchman?” His gaze rested on Louise, who pretended not to have heard. “Must we stay longer?” she appealed to Bruce, pouting. She put the gleaming carmine tips of two fingers on each temple. "My head— I must lie down!” Bruce paid the rheck. As Mary expected, the countess made no further mention of her race track winnings. They might be the inspiration of the feast, but they never would pay for it. She had been sure of that all along. In the elevator Bruce made some low-voiced plea which Mary did not catch, but it was refused with further protestations of illness. Bruce urged. The countess’ wails arose: “But it is im-poss-i-ble. I am miserable. You do not know—tomorrow I will look at all the shore lines you wish to show me. Tonight, i\o.” Bruce retired into glum silence. The iron of jealousy apparently had entered into his soul and to soothe jt he must make his inamorata demonstrate her devotion immediately by giving in to his x-him. Mary bade them all good night

at the door of her room. Mr. Jupiter responded with a grunt—he was half asleep already, as the result of too much fresh air and too much food. He would not be curious about her comings and goings if she chose to steal out now and meet Bowen. The countess would not be leaving her pillow, if her protestations of suffering were genuine. And Bruce would be dancing attendance upon her dear Louise, unless he really had forsaken the role of lap-dog. Mary doubted that. u n u THE coast was clear. Mary put on dark, inconspicuous clothes and hurried out to the rendezvous with Bowen. The Laurel tearoctn was a small, stuffy affair with a row of high-backed benches along one side. In the first of these, peering out worriedly, she saw him—and fell into the seat opposite with a gasp of relief. The wing of the chair hid her face from others in the room. She felt as if she had reached sanctuary. Bowen looked at his wrist watch and raised eloquent eyes to the ceiling. “If I were married to you,” he said, “I’d cut your heart out. Where've you been for the last three hours? Look it." He pointed to the disorderly array of teacups, each with its wheel of yellow lemon and sodden teaball, that surrounded him in a semi-circle—and at the glass ash tray, filled and overflowing with twisted butts of defunct cigarets. "I don’t even like tea,’’ he complained bitterly, “but it's all you can get in this place. And I had to make an attempt to drink the stuff or get thrown out of here. Where in the eternal interest of accuracy have you been?” ‘ With De Loma,” Mary managed to gasp, her breath still short from running. That sobered him. “De Loma For God's sake! Where did you pick him up?” an tt MARY told him as coherently as she could, and at the finish sprung her even more startling news—that she had an engagement to meet him at the fete the following night. “Listen, girl,” Bowen said slowly and solemnly when she had finished, “we’ve got to go into a huddle over this and not muff anything. We’ve had the breaks so far. If Lady Luck will just be with us a little longer . . . Do the others know who De Loma is?” “No. I’m afraid to tell Bruce. I don’t know him well enough to know whether he could be trusted to help us play the game or not. He might snatch a gun and go looking for De Loma, but that’s not what we want. “Mr. Jupiter must know —but I haven’t had a chance to tell him yet. I rushed right off to meet you.” “You and the tortoise,” commented Bowen. “Well, let’s think, if it kills us. Have you got the necklace here?” Mary hesitated only a second before replying, “Yes.” She had lost the complete trust she had once given to every one. Dirk had planted thergerm of distrust thoroughly; hereafter she would be frank, with reservations, even with Bowen. “What kind of blowout is that tomorrow night?” Bowen asked, with wrinkled brow. “What is a fete, anyhow? Fancy dress?” “I haven’t the least idea what the ambassador's notion of a fete would be,” Mary returned. “I imagine it’s going to be one of those ghastly affairs where society dowagers go about wearing paper hats and sucking lollypops. Why?” “I was thinking about your costume. Will you have a chance to wear the necklace?” “Do you think I'd better—so soon?” “Soon?” “Well, I’ve only just met him tonight. Wouldn’t he think I was too trustful?” “You’ll have your party with you, won’t you? What's trustful about that?” “That's true. Well—” “What's the matter? Scared?” “Not exactly.” She gulped. “He’s horrible, though. He gives 'me shivers when he looks at me . . . his eyes . . . like black coils . . A shudder passed over her. “But If I must, I must. That's what I came here for.” “The sooner the better,” Bowen advised. “The ambassador won’t put

him up rent free much longer. , They’re wise to his kind. He probably was counting on that? pony of his to recoup his finances. “What a winning that would have been! He’s probably spent all he got from the diamond rings and the ' bracelet he took from Mrs. Jupiter, I if he has let go of them at all. He may be keeping them still, afraid to j turn them over to a fence for fear ! of being double-crossed. “Well, maybe they’ll come in handy to pay his board bill with—diamonds are swell security.” n k a SO that was what the dark little man was summoning De Loma about! A reckoning of his bill. “But here’s something I don’t understand,” Mary told him. “De Loma and the countess are old friends. Do you suppose she could be an accomplice? “She’s been running around Europe with Bruce for two or three years—l’ve gathered that from their talk of different places they’d seen together. And the Fly has been busy right here in this country, for several years, you told me. “Before that he claims to hail from South America. He looks Spanish enough. At least, he looks like Spaniards do in the movies— I don’t know that I've ever seen a real one. “He has those funny sideburns, and he’s brown enough, goodness knows —” , "You don’t have to go any farther than Rockaway to get a swell tan,” Brown reminded her. “I’m still digging away at his past—been putting in my spare time here going through the police morgue. “I haven’t set eyes on any one yet that looks like him, but I haven’t given up hope. He picked up that Spanish lingo somewhere, so why not in this part of the country? He may have come up from Cuba, or some of these other islands. “They’re full of polyglot ‘Spaniards’—usually about one-third Spanish blood and two-thirds what-have-you. Not that it matters a damn if he’s an Eskimo, but I’ve got a hunch that he left a nice little record behind in the place he started from. “And I want to find it, wherever it is.” “But about tomorrow night ” “Yes, that’s what we’ve got to plan for now. Have you got a costume?” “No, but trust me to get one. There must be shops here—costumers who furnish the society crowd with fancy dress. “I’ll go as the Empress of All the Russias or Cleopatra or somebody addicted to wearing quarts of jewels, so that it will seem quite natural to trot the necklace out and show it off.” Bowen nodded. “That’s the girl.” “And look—what do you think of this? I’ll tell every one it’s just a bauble from the five-and-ten and I’ll be just a poor enough liar that they 11 know I'm lying. “It will make people twice as sure it’s the real thing if I protest a lot and swear it isn’t ” 808 BOWEN nodded approvingly. "Don't over-act, now, Julfet,” lie added. "Take it easy. Just a shade too much fuss over it and De Loma will be afraid to touch it. He's cagey as the deuce, remember. “Just, because he seems to be eating out of your hand, don't think he’s asleep . . . just that little coincidence of his acquaintance with your friend Louise is what’s rr • sponsible for his walking right up to the gun, like that. “Her being there lulled his suspicions, or he might have hightailed it out of sight the minute he saw you in the hotel.” (To Be Continued)

TARZAN AT THE EARTH’S CORE

The lithe, handsome youth, about 12 years old, saw Tarzan, and his eyes lighted with hope. Then he evidently recognized that the newcomer was not of his own tribe, for his face resumed its expression of hopelessness. But he stood his ground bravely, his spear and his crude stone knife ready. The scene before the ape-man told its own story. The bear, returning to its cave, had unexpectedly discovered the youth emerging from it, an* the boy found himself corners*

By all the laws of his own jungle upon the earth, Tarzan was under no responsibility to rescue this child of a nameless tribe in an unknown world, from its dangerous enemy. But in the ape-man’s breast had always burned the flame of chivalry inherited from his English parents. He saw not the danger to himself but only a child that was brave and helpless. One glance at the beast ahead of him convinced him that only by a combination of skill and rare luck could he hope to destroy the titanic monster.

Beside the huge bear’s strength and power Tarzans weapons were relatively puny. But he believed he could at least draw the creature's attention from the lad long enough for the boy to find some means of escape. The very instant the ape-man’s eyes had taken in the scene, his bow twanged and a heavy arrow sank deeply into the bear close to the spine. At the same instant Tarzan gave a savage yell calculated to let the beast know that an was in its rear.

Maddened by the pain and surprised by the voice behind it, the bear instantly whirled about on the narrow ledge. Tarzan’s first impression was that in all his life he had never seen such savage rage. Jn quick succession three arrows sank into its chest as it charged howling down upon the ape-man. For an instant Tarzan held his ground. With his legs spread firmly apart and his mighty muscles tensed to meet the charge, he waited. a thought occurred to him.
