When Mr. Rcdfem had conceived the idea of lowering his rent by moving from the west side of the river to this small place on the east side, he had said that it would be much pleasanter for Miss Fenwick. They were closer to the street, here, and she could look out of the window and watch the people passing and the traffic all day long. He had meant it kindly. He knew, as Ann knew, how light her duties were: a few letters and bills to be sent, a few items to be posted in the books, an occasional telephone call to answer, pay rolls to be made out on Saturdays, and nothing more to be done except for a scurrying day or two around the first of each month. Since Mr. Redfern managed to keep his ailing business alive only by constant personal ministrations Ann was alone most of the time in the office. She read library books; novels of the lighter, neatly mediocre sort; Actionized biography, or a newly popular philosophy; poetry, some- - times, if the bindings were clean and pretty, though poetry often made her sad. She wrote letters to the few people she knew who did not live in Portland—letters so long that the ' recipients felt they required a “real letter” in answer, (Ann Fenwick writes such dandy letter!) and so, often, never answered them at all. She sewed a little, but guiltily—it didn’t look well to be sewing in an office. During the season she went to a nearby market and bought peas and string beans and prepared them surreptitiously, and with newspapers ready to hand for coverings, to carry home ready to be cooked for the evening meal. Once, for a few happy months, she had attempted short-story writing; but the following flood of fat envelopes bearing rejections had drowned her courage, or her conceit, and dissolved her ambitions for authorship. She had not told Phil about the ‘Short stories. She had been afraid that he would tease her, as he had teased her about the graphology, the French in six easy lessons, the cross-word puzzles. Her defense had been that they killed time. It was hard for Phil to understand why a person who had nothing to do all day but kill time should so often complain of weariness in the evening; and yet, undoubtedly, David, too, was tired after the encounter with Goliath. tt tt tt A MESSENGER BOY riding along out there turned his bicycle sharply and dismounted at the curb. Ann’s breath caught, but only for the moment It took the boy to discover the number next door. Phil sometimes had sent flowers to her at the office. Phil, only last year, had said that he hadn't nerve to telephone her after the way he had acted, and had sent a long letter by messenger. Phile once . . . Ann liked her yesterdays, and she had fallen int-o the quaint habit of jlaying with them in her mind, of arranging and rearranging them as boys arrange their stamp collections. Phil’s failure to call her today was not so noticeable put beside the evening he had left her house at 10 and telephoned from a drug store twenty minutes later. Nothing had been wrong that evening; he had wished to hear her voice again, to be certain that she really was. Phil’s surliness last evening did

not count for much beside the time she had scalded her hands, and Phil had gone mad, and telephoned to a doctor, and declared that he could not live in a world whera Ann could be hurt. The surliness and the failure to call her, both together, grew small, put beside those two weeks when she had been ill in bed and a box of flowers with a package of notes to be read every half hour all day had arrived each morning —and then, Phil’s cheek wet against hers because he was so happy the first afternoon she was allowed to come ; downstairs. She looked again at the clock. I Five o'clock. Suppose he did not | telephone at all? Suppose she went ; home, and began to wait there for his message, and it didn’t come? Suppose she waited all evening and all tomorrow, and all tomorrow evening? Suppose she were to begin now at five o’clock on the fifth day of April, to wait all her life ! long for a message from Phil that I never came? The telephone bell rang. She snatched the receiver * and paused I to moisten her lips before she spoke. I “Hello.” “Ann, angel ...” Cecily’s voice j trilled higher and sweeter than usual. tt u a THE youth known for the present as Earl De Armount stood, hat aslant and stick suspended from his arm, outside the Happy Hour pool i room, resting rather waiting. Standing so, he made no particular attractive picture, though he was young and tall, slender and well formed. A hasty opinion might have granted him good looks; but a more discriminating observer would have remarked that the dark bright eyes were set too closely to- ; gether under the overhanging brow, and had this same observer been recently to a zoo he might have noted here an anthropoidal similitude. The lower part oi the face was better, the jaw gave an impression of strength, and the mouth was merely too pink and pretty. His teeth, which showed profusely when he yawned—and he often yawned—were jumbled every which way and revealed some old dentist’s prodigality with gold. Further description of Earl De Armount is difficult, because no one knew the first thing about him. He did not generate an impression of extreme trustworthiness, nor of rectitude; but, probably, he was not blackly villainous—so few persons are. He looked at the watch on his wrist and found the time past 4 o’clock. He raised his eyes and did a little reading: Stark realism— J. O. Bartz, Chiropractor. A. Andrew Carlson, Dentist. He finished on a lighter and more romantic vein, Hung Chin See, Chop Suey Parlor, and lowered his eyes again to the street. A block away, by the window of Pcggy-Louise’s Beauty Shoppe, stood the fat little kid who had been in the restaurant last night, and with her was the pretty girl friend. Earl had no interest in the fat little kid, though he had gathered from her manner in the restaurant that she probably would stand for a pickup. The girl friend, a peach, probably would not stand for a pickup; but she might come along with her friend if he managed it right. No harm in trying. He lighted another cigaret and strolled across the street. Mary-Frances glanced slantwise from under her long curling lashes. "He is coming,” she breathed. “He is coming.” tt tt TENNYSON did it more elaborately but, perchance, with no more genuine emotion. At least, Mary-Frances’s cheeks were hot, and her hands were cold; her knees were rickety; her throat had cramped, and her stomach was impoverished and wavering. “You can’t,” said Ermintrude, in a sort of sick squeal. “You just positively can’t!” It is to be feared that the urgent need of any ally, rather than any swift surge of affection, caused Mary-Frances to swerve closer to Ermintrude and put a tightening arm about her waist.

“Darling,” she murmured, “I got to. I just got to. Don’t you realize, can’t you understand that if I were cruel to him now, and proved to be nothing but a mere fickle coquette anct everything, two lives would be ruined?” “Maybe not,” urged Ermintrude, distractedly optimistic, "maybe it might just turn out to be one of these terrible mistakes afterwards, anyway. “Let's—let’s run or something. Oh, please! It’s just terrible. It's —lt’s not refined.” “Ermintrude” (he was so close now that the tap of his stick on the walk was the loudest sound in the world), “if you don’t he'p me, if you don’t stay by me, like you promised last night, and be my true I friend and everything—then—then J we just part forever right now, and I that’s all.” •‘Hello, girls,” said Earl De Armount. Ermintrude’s chin went high in the air; but Mary-Frances's chin turned slowly (nonchalance savored with winsomeness), came to rest just above the blue jersey shoulder nearest Mr. De Armount, and, as she undoubtedly would have phrased it, she lifted timid eyes to meet his manly gaze. “How about some ice cream?” said Earl De Armount. He had seemed to be speaking to Ermintrude, so perhaps she was within her rights when she answered, “Nc. We couldn’t possibly.” “I ought to apologize,” he beguiled. “Asa matter of fact, if I’d stopped to think I’d of known that you girls wouldn’t, maybe, stand for a fresh guy horning in like this — see? “But as a matter of fact I’m a stranger here myself—see?—and I just wanted to be friendly. You understand how I mean, don’t you?” “I,” murmured Mary-Frances, ‘‘understand all.” (To Be Continued) ORDERS WELL CLEANING Health Board Decrees School Pump Be Kept Operating. Edgewood school officials Friday were ordered by the state health board to keep the school pump in operation during the holidays, after majority of the pupils and teachers became ill from drinking the water last w r eek. During recent heavy rains a large amount of impure water was disscovered in the well. Illness of pupils and teachers did not prove serious. Lfewis Finch, sanitation division head, ’said he believed the impure water could be pumped on in the xevt two weeks. PLAN PARTY FOR 4,000 Children to Be Entertained by Statehouse Aids, Dec. 24. Four thousand children will be entertained by statehouse employes Dec. 24. at the annual Christmas basket party at the Capitol. Frank C. Caylor, building superintendent, said 1,500 baskets will be distributed by the Salvation Army. Five hundred were donated by statehouse employes.

TARZAN AT THE EARTH’S CORE

Tarzan of the Apes was trapped Surrounded by the armed creatures who had just destroyed the mighty and ferocious Gyor, the ape-man was ordered to lay down his weapons and surrender. But he was not inclined to give hmiself and The Red Flower of Zoram to an unknown fate without putting up a fight. “What do you intend to do with us!” he demanded. “Take you to our village where you will be well fed,” croaked the leader. “You canont escape us; no one escapes the Horibs.”

BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES

Still the ape-man hesitated. The Red Flower moved closer to his side. “Let us go with them,” she whispered. “We cannot escape now; they are too many. Perhaps later we may find our chance.” Tarzan nodded. Then he turned to the Horib, saying: “We are ready.” Mounted on the necks of Gorolors, each "in front of a Horib wariror, they were carried across the Gyor Cors into the same gloomy forest through which Jason and Thoar had been taken to the village of these lizardmen.

—By Ahern

And as Tarzan and Jane w-ere borne along the River of Darkness, hundreds of miles away, Jason Gridley sat upright in the cozy mud of a cave. To his vast atonishment, as his eyes became accustomed to the gloom, he saw not only Thoar there, but the three Korsars. All he had supposed drowned when the Horibs dove with them beneath the river. “Well, here w T e are again!” explained. “WHERE are we?” demanded a Korsar. “What sort of a hole is this intot which the creatines have shoved us?”

“Search me!” said Gridley. “Maybe it's like a crocodile's nest. In the world from which I come, they build them in the banks of rivers, above the water line. But the only entrance lead s down below the waters of the river. Perhaps we have been dragged into some such place.” For a moment he sat in deep thought. “We can't swim out for they would see us, but I have an idea.” The men, now made friendly their common danger, crept close to Gridley as he told his plan for escape.
