THREE KINDS of LOVE • BY, KAY CLEAVER STRAHAN

BFGIN HF.RF. TODAY __ ANNE CECILY and MARY-FRANCES FENWICK live with their erandDarenls. enre wealthy, now *o impoverished that Anne's and Cecilv'a earnings supDort ♦he household The slaters have been nrphaned since childhood. The ttrantiPJL r JT2 t# * re known respectively ts ROSALIE" and "GRAND" and thev Insist on keeping up nretenses of their former wealth Anne. 28. and Ceellv. 22. do secretarial work, and Marv-Franre, IS. is still in school All the Fir Is are 'attractive. When the atorv opens Anne has hen engaged to PHILIP ECROYD. voung lawver. for eight, vears. Thev can not marrv because Ann* knows her sisters *nd grandparents depend upon her to manager their hom Ceellv brines BARRY McKEEI, home ♦o dinner without telephoning. She has known him onlv a short time, but la falling in love with him Anne points out there Is nothing tn the house with which to prepare a company dinner. NOW GO ON WITH THE STOUT CHAPTER THREE (Continued) "She makes a little pig of herself —that's what she does. The idea!” . Ann took her arm from Cecily's shoulder and walked some 20-odd feet across the kitchen and opened a cupboard door. ' You're mean,” she said. "It isn't my fault that Mary-Frances ate the dinner, is it?” "I didn’t say it was your fault,” Cecily answered, and wondered why there wasn't something amusing about Mary-Frances's having F’aten the dinner, and wished Ann would stop pushing cans about on that shelf. CHAPTER FOUR *'Y rOU ac t as if it were my fault," I said Ann, and pushed some more cans. No. T don't.” Cecily disputed. 'That's the trouble here, though. Everything is horrid and awful all the time, and it never is anybody’s fault. I mean, it really isn’t ever anybody’s fault. Well, I'll go and tell him.” She would have to make, a joke of I*. How .should she begin? "Frightfully sorry ” No. that, sounded affected and too true. "The silliest thing has happened ” Having no food in the house was not a subject for .jokes; it, was wretched, and humiliating, and humorous. At least she could refuse his invitation to go somewhere and dine with him. Possibly, probably, he wouldn’t ask her. He'd have to ask her "Cecily,” Ann was holding her arm. "Where are you going? What do you mean you are going to tell him?” I must say! That would be nice, wouldn’t it? What would he think of us? The idea! I've found some minced slams—l thought we had a can of them—and I’ll make chowder. "We'll have a .icily omelet, there are plenty of eggs, and hot muffins. . For dessert wee'll have nuts and cheese—there’s a lot of that, good! cheese that, Mrs. Hill sent, from her] brother’s farm—and I'll toast some crackers. "If there's nothing on the table but, chowder when we sit, down. Grand will say a. short grace. That’s a big advantage, and—” Cecily tossed back her head and laughed and caught Ann in her arms. "Angel! You're so good and so funny, and you don’t know it! You're a peach, and a little holy person, and a blessing undisguised, 1 end—” “Don’t,” said Ann. But then she patted Cecily’s cheek and said, "Silly—silly!” and smiled stoutly in spite of the something aghast within her consciousness that w r as insisting over and over, "She does care for him. She really cares for him. She cares that much.” GRACE had been short to the point, of abruptness. The chowder had been fair and very hot; the omelet a picture garnished with parscly and cooked carrot rings; the salad a gay quip that only Ann could have produced; and the muffins were puffed yellow paragons. Rosalie, thoußh she had girded on all her cosmetics before .she came forth in the pink velvet blouse and .her second best old black skirt, had been, perhaps, not too charming. Barry couldn’t have been so deferential had he thought her merely a silly old thing. And Grand, tip to the present painful moment, had been courteous and unquestioning. Now, as he cracked the walnuts—he had explained that, they grew right here <lh our own trees on our own estate, and why the nuts, trees and estate were superior to all other nuts, trees

and estate—he had begun that inquisitiveness that he liked to assume with young men. "You have been in the building construction business for some time, j I take it?” "No, sir.” Barry was as pleasant |as could be. "Only for about six I months. After I left the university ” "May I ask what university, and why you left?” I "Stanford. I'd been graduated, [you see—time to go. I went east and was there for two years in 1 newspaper work.” I "And what part of the east? And , what class of newspaper work did you pursue?” "New York. Cub reporting, and some magazine work on the side.” "Ah. You will forgive me if I say that it is difficult for me to understand why any young man who has, with even slight success, embarked upon the sea of journalism should abandon it to become a mere superintendent of building construction?” Cecily’s cheeks burned until It was hard to keep her hands away from them. That "mere,” how unspeakable of Grand to say it! Barry was hesitating. Undoubtedly he was determining not to ansswer at all. She couldn’t blame, him; he was so sensitive about his health; and why should he answer all these personal questions?” "Surely, sir” tthe darling, he was going to be polite!), "I know how you feel about it. But, you see, I had some annoying bronchial trouble. The doctor seemed to be positive that, an outdoor job in a milder climate was necessary for a winter or two. "Portland used to be my home; so 1 wrote to m.v uncle here, and he offered me a place. I'd worked for him summers while I was going to Stanford. He’d had some trouble with the man he fired—dishonesty —so he's good enough to say that he is glad to have me in the job.” a an I SEE. And your health? Has it been restored?” "Yes, sir. thank you. I'm feeling fine, and the doctor here tells me that it is merely a matter now of gaining a few more pounds. "Staying out of doors, eating a lot, and sleeping a lot—mighty easy course to follow.’ "Your parents live here, do they?” "I live here with my uncle and aunt.” Barry replied, without a moment's hesitation, and Cecily thrilled to his cleverness. Smart. Possibly one couldn't, trust a man as clever as that, but trust, might, be allowed to go by the board for—well, admiration, something of the; sort. And Grand, sitting stern behind his beard and thinking he had been answered. "Do you plan a return to your journalistic career?” Dear heavens, would Grand never stop it? Was Barry going to tell him about, the book that he was writing? Barry had said that he had told no one out here except Cecily, and that had been gratifying. Still, since he was brilliant and wonderful and wise enough actually to be writing a book, she did wish he’d take Grand down a peg by" boasting of it. Barry answered, "this northwest country, with its mountains and trees and mildness, gets hold of a person, don’t you think so? After a certain length of time out here, it is hard to plan deliberately to leave it.” Smart! Right there on the uptake every time. Grand grabbed the bait like a good fellow. "My boy, this northwest country, as you say, is God's own country. I used the expression wtih due reverence, and I trust with due humility. This northwest country ” The telephone bell rang. For no discoverable reason except that it had been installed there in the age of inconveniences the telephone hung high on the dining-room wall. Mary-Frances jumped to its summons and stood on tiptoe and said. ‘'Hello,” in a high and wholly artificial voice, and followed it with, Oh. Ermintrude!” as if Ermintrude had been abroad in far countries for many years, and said next, “Yes,

YESTERDAY'S ANSWER 11 To have in

I have my algebra," which, decoded, meant. "The family is in here, and I can't say a word.” a a a MARY-FRANCES' share of the conversation, after that, was made up largely of breathless negatory exclamations, prefixed and suffixed unfailingly with her friend's name. "No, Ermintrude!” "Ermintrude, no!” "Really, Ermintrude!” "Oh, Ermintrude, no!” With an occasional plea for haste: Oh, hurry, Ermintrude. The family and their guest strove to carry on. They tried talking over, under, and around the high silvery tones that Mary-Frances used exclusively for telephonic communications. They were worsted in all attempts —undertones were enveloped; raised voices gave an impression of commonplace being shouted in footless competition with the trilling enthusiasms from the east wall. Presently they gave it up and smiled. patiently, shamefacedly, amusedly, absent-mindedly, according to each one’s mood, and waited in silence while Grand slowly diminished the mound of shelled nuts he had piled beside his plate. Since they had to wait there, anyway, it was too bad that they could not have heard Ermintrude's part in the dialogue.

Dec. 12.—The plan of Senator Key Pittman of Nevada to revive American export trade by rehabilitating the silver market was described as "economically unsound” today by Silas H. Strawn, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce. "America must retain the gold standard,’’ Strawn said. “I agree with Senator Pittman that an international silver conference is of vital importance just now, but I see no hope for such a conference taking place so long as it is to the advantage of nations to delay it.” Prisoner Kills Self By United Press TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Dec. 12.

Panting and blowing the Gyor finally came to bay. Then it was that the Horibs drew their circle closer, whirling dizzily around the gigantic creature. The ape-man, fascinated, watched the amazing scene, wondering how they ever hoped to overcome that ten tons of incarnate fury, wheeling this way and that. But presently a Horib darted in close to the Gyor at such speed that the mount and the rider were little more than a blur.

The Gyor wheeled to meet him, head down, "with three terrible horns set to impale the Horib and then two other Horibs darted in from the rear on either side of it. In and out the Horibs darted as they circled around. And each time two lances were left imbedded in the Gyor’s side. Now the monster charged with a hideous scream and this time he did not turn but sought to break through the circle. To his dismay, Tarzan saw that the Gyor was headed straight in his and Jana's direction.

—By Ahem

If the Horibs did not turn the beast the man and girl were lost. But the fifty unearthly riders headed off the Gyor, though the charge brought the fighting circle much nearer the hidden watchers. At last the Gyor slumped groundward as the final lances proved too much for even its mighty strength. Tarzan was congratulating himself that good fortune had kept Jana and himself from being discovered by these awful creatures when the entire band wheeled and raced swiftly in his direction.

Once more the Horibs formed their circle, but this time Tarzan and Jana were at its center. Evidently the creatures had seen them but wanted to dispatch the Gyor first. “We shall have to fight, ’’ said Tarzan, rising to his feet. “Yes,” said the Red Flower, arising to stand beside him. “We shall have to fight, but the end will be the same. There are fifty of them and we are but two.” Tarzan fitted an arrow to his The Horibs were circling slowly about them now, Inspecting their new prey.
