Marv-Franceg ha# a telephone call irom her school friend. ERMINTRUDE HILL. NOW GO ON WITH THE. STORY CHAPTER FIVE *"|ly[AßY-FRANCES!” Ermintrude IVX said breathlessly over the telephone. “'l've made the most marvelous, thrilling discovery that you ever possibly could imagine! Mother and Daddy have gone for a ride, but I said I had to study and rushed right in to phone to you. I’m so excited I can hardly talk. “I'm just absolutely shaking all .over. I’m kind of pale and trembling. Listen. I’ve found out who a Certain Somebody is. Yes, honestly. Everything about him. And it is just too perfectly, marvelously wonderful. It is, really. Mother's cleaning woman didn't tome today, so mother went ahead and aired the mattresses and did every silly thing like that, and it pretty near brought on a nervous headache. "So when daddy came home and she was pounding the steak he said, 'No more of this. We’ll jump in The car and go over to town for dinner.’ And he took the plate right away from her, he said the steak would keep and—l am hurrying, but you know how I am. “I have to tell things in my own way—and mother said she wouldn’t dress and put on a corset for any dinner on earth, and n.iddy said, ‘Just put on your coat over your house dress, you're as sweet as a daisy and neat as a pin, and w'e’ll go right up here to this neighborhood place, we can get something.’ ‘So we did. And we hadn’t much more than taken our seats at the lable in there than who should come walking in but Him! “I thought I’d die! Honest, darling, I thought I’d just pass out. He had his hat a little one-sided, and he had his cane and everything .and I never saw him look more handsome. “He gave me one of those cool, penetrating glances of his, and I could see he recognized me right off—but, of course, he didn’t let on or anything. He just pulled out his chair and sat down facing me. Facing me! Feature that, MaryFrances—facing me. “He looks even more handsome sitting than he does standing. There seemed to be worlds of unspoken questions in his eyes, too. I’ll bet a thousand dollars that he thought, seeing us together every afternoon, that we were sisters, and he was •wondering and kind of mutely asking me where you were. “He loves you, Mary-Frances. The more I looked at him the more I was certain of his unspoken love for you. One of my strong psychic hunches came to me. You know how I get them—l am hurrying. tt o tt “ \ ND then when I was just positively dying anyway w'ith excitement and everything, you know. Daddy looked up and saw him, and lie said to mother: "Trudie, there’s that young fellow who took the part of the brother in the show' last night.” "I thought I’d die. I just about passed out. It was too perfectly thrilling. ’Nactor and everything. But I never let on. “I just opened my eyes in what you call my big-eyed, innocent way. you know, and I said, ‘Do you know' him. Daddy?’ “Well, of course, Daddy didn’t know him, but I kept on looking innocent, and I began to pump, and I pumped and pumped, and I found out everything, and Daddy anc , Mother never dreamed that I was interested or anything—l am hurrying. “He’s a member of the Stephen G. Sperry Players. You know r , they are putting on a one-act play two

j times every night, right over here at the Hong Kong. “They just started this week, so that’s what he’s been doing around this neighborhood and why we’ve never seen him before. He's not the leading man, or he wasn't in the show the folks saw (that’s where they went when they sneaked i off last night while I was at your ! house), and the folks didn’t like his acting so awfully much—but you 1 know they just absolutely aren’t j Judges of things like that at all. “ Member, they didn’t even like Chester Fairfield in the New Westi ern Stock Company last winter, nor anything. They don’t care much S for Ronald Coleman, even. They’re awfully crazy that way—l am hurrying. “I tried to see what he ordered, but I couldn’t tell, but it looked like a steak, because he had such a hard time cutting it. “He just went on eating, in a perfectly cool kind of masterful, dignified way, but ever ’once in a while he'd lift those wonderful brown eyes of his in a kind of mute appeal like asking where was my beautiful sister. a a a N AFTER while Daddy said for me to stop staring at that fellow, that I was attracting his attention, but Mother said, ‘Nonsense, I was only a little girl.’ So then I| said, with another of my big-eyed innocent looks, as you say, that I wondered what his name was. "Mother felt in her coat pocket on the back of the chair, and there was the program from last night; she’d saved it for the ‘Coming Attractions,’ you know. She put it in the menu, so he wouldn't see we were talking about him, and now listen, darling. “You’ll hardly believe it. His first name is Earl. One of your favorite names for men. And now listen. His last name is DeArmount. Capital D. e. Capital A, r, m, o, u, n. t. Earl DeArmount! Isn’t’ that the most marvelous, thrilling name? A ‘de’ and everything!

“I nearly died when I read it right there on the program. And Earl always being your favorite name, next to Christopher and Anthony and Hilary, for men. It’s just simply more than coincidence. It’s just like you’d known from childhood days that you were going to meet a man named Earl, and souls reaching out to souls and thought telepathy and everything. I guess that just about proves it more than anything could. “They just had pie for dessert, and I saw him shake his head, kind of bored and superior, that he didn’t want any. But he ate awfully slowly, and he hadn’t finished when we left, and I had to walk “right past him. “I could of almost touched him. My heart was beating so fast it pretty nearly stifled me, and my knees shook and everything. But even for your sake, darling, I didn’t dare glance at him as we passed. I’d of died. “I know I would, and mother was right behind me and everything. n an “13UT when daddy was paying ■D the check, up in front, I did kind of glance toward him. MaryFrances, he’d kind of turned around in his chair, and he was looking right at me! I nearly passed out. “And I can’t explain it, but right then another one of my psychic hunches came to me—you know how they and it was just as if he’d said, in so many words to me, ‘lf you girls are downtown tomorrow after school, I am going to come up and speak to you.’ “He’ll do it, Mary-Frances. I know it with all my innermost being. It makes me just kind of tremble all over. Do you suppose we’ll dare? ‘‘The more I think about it, honest, the more I think we just absolutely won’t dare. I was thinking, like Danty and Beatrice, it might just come to be one of those beautiful, passing dreams —” “Dare! Well, Ermintrude Hill, if you think I’d back down now, at this crucial time, after ” MaryFrances stopped, caught her breath sharply. Deep annoyance, coupling so suddenly with her intense excitement, had all but betrayed her —“after we’ve promised Miss By-

erly that we’d take part and everything—” Miss Byerly was their Sundayschool teacher. um* ANN hung up the dishpan, and turned on the faucet above the sink, and swished the water about with a brush, and decided to let that do for this evening. Phil, surely, would be here new before long. Phil was late again. She did not mind, because she had heard or read that the secret of successful love lay not in ignoring faults, but in recognizing them and not minding them. Years ago, when Phil always had been early, she had not minded that, and so, sensibly, there was no reason for minding now because he was always late. Probably it was merely a habit and not a fault at all; or were habits and faults the same? She took two damp tea towels from the seat of a chair and went to hang them on the rack above the stove. It was mean of Mary Frances to skip off, as she had, before the tinware was washed. It had been sweet of Cecily to offer to help, though she should have known Ann would not allow it when she had company. Cecily was in love. For nearly ten minutes Ann had forgotten it. Poor Cissy—Ann caught it back and tried to correct it. She liked it, of course. I am in love and like it. Os course I like it. I must like being in love with Phil —who is always late. She turned out the kitchen light and went through the big dining room into the front hall. Mary Frances was coming quietly down the stairs, and she tipped her chin to sauciness as she answered A-jm’s question. (To Be Continued.)

Dear Mr. Fixit—There is a big “battery sign” at 15 South Sherman drive. The city sign man ordered it taken down two months ago, but recently it has been replaced. This street is zoned for residences. Will you investigate this for me? J. D. S. H. C. Carmichael, city sisrn inspector, reports that the sirn was removed Dec. 8. Mr. Fixit —The stop-and-go signal at Washington street and Emerson avenue does not flash a yellow change signal for south bound traffic on Emerson avenue. This easily could cause a serious accident, as it is possible to be half-way across Washington street when the east and west bound traffic starts moving. A DRIVER. Mike Morrissey, chief of police, states that he has advised the Gamewcll department to fix this sixn. Child on Witness Stand lly Times Special PERU, Ind., Dec. 14.—Mary Ellen Borneman, a bright-eyed, 10-year-old girl, was a witness in Miami circuit court here for her mother, Mrs. Lucy Borneman, seeking possession of a grocery now held by her mother, Mrs. Lucy Smith, and brother, Ernest Smith.

TARZAN AT THE EARTH’S CORE

If

The Horibs cams closer, halted their hideous mounts and faced Tarzan and The Red Flower of Zoram. Now for the first time the ape-man had a good view of these awesome creatures of the inner world. Tarzan had seen many strange creations of Mother Nature. “But these,” he thought, ‘‘are more evil and repellent than anything I could have imagined.” They had three-toed feet and five-fingered hand*, which with two short horns and pointed . ears gave then* a grotesque loot.

They sat silently upon their mounts with their toes locked behind the elbows of the Gorobors, some of which measured ten feet long, inspecting Jana and himself with their beady, lidless eyes. He was astounded by their uncooth appearance, but that emotion was as nothing to the shock he was about to receive. For the leading Horib suddenly spoke, addressing Tarzan in the common language of the gilaks of Pellucidar. “You can not escape,” 4t said, "lay down your weapons.”

Meanwhile, Jason Gridley and the man from Zoram slowly wedged their way through the swampland, seeking the village of the Phelians. Here, they believed, The Red Flower of Zoram was held captive. At last they reached a curious huddle of dwellings which the American’s companion said must be the houses of the low country hairy men. No one was in sight. The silence was uncanny, but it did not deceive Thoar, who believed that many eyes peered at them from hidden places.

•‘Well, exclaimed Gridley, “what next?” Thoar looked longingly at the American’s revolvers. “With one of those things that spit fire, we might soon find Jana,” he said. “Come on then," answered Jason, “I would sacrifice more than my ammunition to find The Red Flower of Zoram!” The two started on a run toward the nearest dwelling.
