NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE (Collar tinuedi. To cover her fright she flirted "‘“with De Loma with a sort of feverish vivacity.

She dared not ask De Loma for the bag, for fear of revealing its contents to him with certainty . . . he would not give it up now without showing fight, she felt sure. Never in her life had Mary behaved other than decorously in public, but she was not behaving like a lady tonight. Tucking the thick red mass of her hair behind her ears, she let the rhythm of the music take her and do with her as it would. De Loma, catching fire from her. invented steps, rediscovered old ones. They as one—and it was a sight to stir the blood. a tt is THE floor began to clear, the entire room to grow still, watching them with breathless attention. “Bravo!” someone cried, and some one else, unable to resist the rhythm, began to snap his fingers. Instantly a crackling accompaniment grew up to swell the efforts ot the traps player, outdoing himself on the castanets. Dirk was watching, now. Mary saw his eyes on her, like slits, through the fog of cigaret smoke. His jaw was set, his face expressionless. Cornelia watched, too, but unwillingly, scornfully. Mary felt a wicked thrill of joy. De Loma, apparently wishing to impress the open-mounthed Ethel, now wheeled about and aimed their steps deliberately at Dirk’s table. The hovering spotlight that followed them included the three watching faces in its white, revealing glow. Mary saw Dirk was frowning at the tablecloth now. He had gone pasty white. His hands, as he fumbled with a cigaret, were trembling violently. She felt herself whirled about, her body bent back until the thick red bob of her hair swung free. Above her De Loma’s grinning, gloating face appeared for a second, like something in a dream .. . then she felt his lips on her mouth. In the next instant Dirk, whitefaced. his eyes blazing with murderous fury, had sent De Loma hurtling backward with one hard blow. From the floor, where she sank when De Loma’s arm released its grip about her, she saw Dirk hurl himself at the reeling man a second time . . . saw De Loma throw

back his coat and reach for his gun. ‘Look out!” she screamed and threw her arm before her eyes. She crouched where she was, terrorstricken. waiting for the shot she was sure would come. CHAPTER FORTY FOR the space of a breath, Mary could not look. Pure terror, and the certainty that Dirk was about to be killed, paralyzed her. She heard a rush of footsteps, then a heavy thud, and opened her eyes slowly. Dirk lay on the floor, doubled up, his fame contorted with pain. As she looked, his face turned a dull greenish white and he toppled limply over on his face. “Fainted!” “My God, he's broken his leg!” “Get a doctor, quick!” A chorus of alarmed cries went up. Several men bounded forward. De Loma, who was backing slowly toward the door, whirled about. The sight of the circle of men in evening dress who were closing in on him gave an edge of panic to his voice. “I didn’t touch him!” he kept repeating. “You saw me—l didn’t touch him!” “That's all right. Not your fault!” several of them reassured him. “He just slipped. Not your fault!” But they remained at his elbows, at least, two of them did. Mary began to guess they either were men whom Bates had employed to guard the exits, in case of just such an emergency as this, or employes of the hotel. De Loma watched them warily, apparently feeling a healthy respect for them, for he had quickly covered that tell-tale reach for his gun. a a u ONE of the men spoke to him out of the corner of his mouth, and what he said was clearly audible to Mary: “Hand over that gun and then waltz out of here, and be damned quick about it.” There was an exchange of something from hand to hand—De Loma looked about and shifted restlessly. At any moment he might bolt for it. She realized suddenly that they did not know of the presence of her handbag in his pocket, or they would not let him go so easily. It was up to her to stop him. “Don’t leave me!” she cried, leaping up and grasping his arm. “Help me get him to a doctor—there must j be one in the hotel somewhere ” Dirk’s bloodless face frightened I her. The portly manager arose j from having made a gentle thumbing of the hurt ankle and reported: “He's just wrenched it. Don’t try to bring him to! He's better off j that way until he’s moved.” He dusted off his hands briskly. '•Lift him, you two,” he indicated! the stalwart gentlemen who had j been flanking De Loma with gentle but firm insistence. “Now, where to? What’s his room number? Anybody know? Where’ve his friends gone?” Where, indeed? For the first time Mary remembered Cornelia and Ethel. They had disappeared. “I’ll take care of him,” Mary put in. tt tt tt HP HE manager caught a glimpse of pleading, tear-filled eyes. A glance showed him that Dirk still was unconscious. The man must be gotten out of their quickly—it little mattered where. Most of the diners already had returned to their tables, but the party would be ruined if the dancing was not quickly resumed. Anger followed alarm, and he fairly snapped out: "Well, I don’t care where you take him, just so you get him out of here! And you, too!” He whirled on De Loma, who was standing by, only too pleased to get off without a more rigorous calling to accounts. What was this* puffy little manager’s ire, against a clean getaw’ay with the Jupiter rubies in his pocket? He could afford to stand and take it; he did so, holding himself in tightly, the muddy* yellow of his eyeballs showing below the half-hidden pupils. He looked like an animal about to charge. Although he had made no protest, the manager yelled at him as if he had—mostly for effect. “I don't know whose fault it was!

I don’t care. But if you're still here in five minutes I’ll call the police—the lot.of you! “Where do you think you are? You New York rowdies come down here and think you can—” His muttering trailed off as he bustled away, scattering a gaping group of waiters with snarled commands, vigorously nodding to the orchestra leader who obediently struck up a noisy jazz number. An excited buzz of conversation rose in the dining room as they left, surface order having been restored. X X tt NOW it became clear what had become of Cornelia and Ethel. With the instinct of self-preserva-tion rising above every other consideration, they had allowed themselves to be taken in tow by a glittering dowager, who was taking it upon herself to see that they were shielded from unpleasantness. Mary recognized the woman, who was preparing to huddle her charges into the first elevator that came up, as a rich climber, who no doubt thanked her stars for this heavensent opportunity of making herself “solid” with the right set. What she did not know, however, was that the flower of the Tabor clan tomorrow would not be able to recall having met her. In the meantime, Cornelia and her chum yrould have sneaked away from the sordid scene of battle, and by the time the newspapers got wind of the affair they would be safely entrenched behind their locked hotel room doors. Dirk could look after himself! It was his fault, for having precipitated such a scene. His fault! It was her own fault, Mary knew. And although she despised Cornelia for her heartlessness and self-interest, she also burned with shame for her own part in the ugly business. Now Dirk was hers, for the time being. She would take care of him until the foot healed, at least. Then if he chose to go back to Chrnelia, she would have to let him go. She hugged to her heart fiercely the hope that this itme they never would be parted again. a a THE manager dog-trotted ahead of them, clearing the way for the two men who were carrying Dirk—a waiter, and a tall young man with the build of a football player, who had volunteered to help. The dowager, secretly hoping that the man was a reporter no doubt, threw her arms about the girls, shoving them behind her. “Sir! These young women have nothing to do with it. I refuse to permit them to be annoyed!” “Madam, I don't know what you're talking about, but stand back away from the elevator, please. This man must be taken to a doctor.” Miffed, the lady huddled her chicks a few feet away. Dirk was lifted into the car and let down gently on the elevator man’s stool. Dirk’s eyes were closed and his lips drawn tightly back with the effort not to cry out. Mary could not bear the sight; he looked as if he might be dead. Her heart constricted cruelly. She stepped on the elevator qhickly, and beckoned De Loma after her. He hesitated, then followed. It was at this point that Cornelia became aware of what was happening. In her desire to avoid undesirable notoriety, she had not noticed Mary’s presence in the party until she was already on the car. Jealousy overcomae discretion, and Cornelia rushed out, crying sharply “Stop! Don’t let her ” tt u a “ A LL right, George,” the tall man A. said hurriedly under his breath, and the elevator dropped suddenly, cutting off her words in mid-air. The car's plunge swung Dirk about, and he moaned faintly. (To Be Continued)

TARZAN AT THE EARTH’S CORE

§ iin ii i I,! ii i

“Your people will not kill me,” said Tarzan. “I come as a friend.” But in his heart the apeman knew that these primitive people would surely attempt his life. “Come, then.” replied Ovan and they started the descent into the canyon. They had gone some distance when the boy gave a low whistle. A moment later it was answered and when they passed around a bend trail ahead, Tarzan saw the cave city of Clovi upon a ledge where were gathered fully a hundred men, women and children.

All eyes were turned in their direction as the ape-man and the boy came into view. On seeing Tarzan the warriors sprang up, seizing their spears and knives. The women and children ran toward the caves' entrances. “Do not frar,” cried the boy, “it is Ovan and his friend Tarzan.” "We kill!” growled some of the men. "Where is Avan, the chief?” demanded the youth. Then Tarzan saw a stalwart, burly savage pusn through the crowd “What have you there, my Son,” the chief exclaimed. “If he is a friend, why comes he with weapons?”

“Stand aside!” commanded Aven, “while I destroy this enemy.” The boy sprang swiftly in front of Tarzan. "Who kills my friend must first kill me!” he cried. “Listen to me.” His father hesitated, then bade the lad speak. And Ovan related how Tarzan had battled with the great ryth and saved his life. “It would be well for the tribe of Clovi," he ended, “if he came to live with us as friend.” Avan, the chief, stood in silence a moment, pondering his son’s story before he answered.

“When Carb comes we shall call a council and decide what to do,” finally said the chips. ‘Meanwhile the stranger must remain a prisoner.” Then spoke Tarzan for the first time: ‘I shall not remain a prisoner. Accept me as a friend—or not at all." “We are many, Avan, and he is only one,” spoke up a warrior named Ulan “Let nim stay,” pleaded the boy. "Ulan and I will see that he harms no one." The chief s son was a great favorite with the tribe and so it was decided that, because he wished It, Trrzan might remain unharmed.
