Thev meet, rim on the street next day and he apeakfi to them NOtV GO ON WITH THE RTORT CHAPTER ELEVEN Amazement, not amusement, flicked for an imtant, across Mr. DeArmount’s face. "Well,” ne said, “that’s sure fine. How about some Ice cream?” “Yes, thank you very much," said Mary-Frances. He took hold of her small, sharp elbow to guide her across the street. Ermintrude trotted along slightly in the rear. The trio paused midway in the intersection to allow a trundling furniture van to pass. “I,” gasped Ermintrude, unheard. “I got to go home.” Perjured, she turned and fled. Mary-PYances, steered by Mr. DeArmount, proceeded across the street.. They had reached the vestibule of Blandsen's drug store before Ermintrude was missed, and then it was Mr. DeArmount who inquired, “Say—where's the other one? What's became” —Mr. DeArmount ever felt but slight obligations towards his verbs—"of your girl friend?” “Her?” said Mary-Frances, and searched space bewilderingly empty of Ermintrude. "I'll bet,” said Mary-Frances, her woman's wits instantly sharpened by necessity, “that she just happened to think, of another engagement some place fl.se,” They went into the drug store past, the counter and bark to one of the round tables in the coolerented gloominess of the room. Earl DeArmount looked again at Mary-Frances. reconstructed hastily some previously formed opinions, and ordered a small coke lemon flavoring. “A banana special.” Mary-Fraiiees pushed the w’ords through the cramp in hrrr throat. “Well,” said Mr. DeArmount, “this Is sure fine.” “Yes,” said Mary-PYances. “How about going to the dance tonight, after the show at the I. O. O F. hall?” he suggested. “Oh, I couldn’t,” said MaryPYances, and all the shock of it was in the saying. "What’s the matter? You dance, don't you?” "Some. We have classical dancing fit, school. I did the solo dance in parents’ assembly last month.” "What's the matter, then? Why won’t you go to the dance with me?’’ "My sisters —none of my family would let me.” "Cripcs! Do you have to ask your folks every time you turn around—rr— Say, T don’t believe I know your name.” <f “|7'RANKIE," said Mary-PYances. I 1 "Frankie Fenwick." It was her opinion that Mary-Frances was a dumbbell namp. but that Frankie, like Billie and Teddy, for girls, was subtle, daring, original, and charming. He asked, "How’d you spell it?” Mary-Frances spelled it. “Oh, Fenwick,” he. said, as if Mary-PYances had mispronounced tt the first time. “There's a street of the samp name back there, isn't there?” “Yes,” said Mary-PYances simply. She had her prides, but this was not. one of them, “Fenwiek 4venue. It. was named for Grand—my grandfather, you know. “His estate was thp first, one on the avenue, so that’s why they named it for him, I suppose.” "Estate?” he questioned, with open awe. "It’s only a block,” said MaryPYances. “We still live there in the Fenwick mansion—it is awfully old now,” “Aw,” he said. “Go on. I'll bet you’re stringing me.” Her “Honestly and truly I'm not” convinced Early De Armount, experienced skeptic that he was. of her truthfulness. “Well, I'll be,” he

said, and looked: again at MaryPYances, and did some more reconstructing, and finished, "shot. Well, I'll be shot,” repeated Mr. De Armount. They parted, but not forever, outside the drug store at 5 oclock. She had agreed to meet him that night, as close to 10:30 as he could make it, under the big walnut tree in the yard—the one cater-comers from the Carmichaels’ house, where Fenwick avenue joined Chestnut street. There could be no harm, he had urged, in getting better acquainted. u a a A S Ann put on her coat in the washroom at the rear of the office the day behind her was a long tired disappointment, and the empty evening stretched ahead paralleled with a frightened wondering as to whether or not she might hear from Phil. And yet, when the telephone bell rang, just as she was opening the front door to start for home, and she was greeted by Phil’s voice, pleasant and sure, she was aware only of irritation and a dismaying petulance. Ann, dear,” he said, “it is spring.” She answered stupidly, "It is?” and thought that it also was after 5 o'clock, and that if the bill collector had not come in she wouldn’t, be in the office to receive this news. Phil had a plan. The car was in running order again; he thought he might stop in tow’n and get two of those box lunches, and then come for Aon, and he and she would drive out somewhere into the country, and find some woods and a stream, and eat their suppers together out there all alone under the trees. "You know T can’t. Phil,” Ann said. "This is my week to get dinner and do the evening work, and I have to go home and do it.” “I thought,” he explained, “that Ceril.v might be a good sport this once and let you off. It is a grand day. I'm wild to get. out of the city and into the woods.” "Cecily is always a good sport." Ann returned. "But it- happens that she just called me and told me that she is going out somewhere into the country for dinner with Barry McKeel.” "Oh, the wild Irishman again? He is giving her a rush, isn't he?” "I shouldn’t call him ‘wild,’ exactly,” said Ann. "Cissy has every right to go—it is her w’eek.” He said, "Surely. Os course.” “Last week,” Ann suggested, “was my week.” "But last week,” Phil reminded her, "it rained all week.” Ann said, "That wasn’t my fault.” Phil said nothing, and one of those taut silences that come occasionally into telephone conversations began and extended absurdly until Phil snapped it with a "Well, then” that was frightening with finality. n n TIE can't,” Ann thought wildly, "say goodby and hang up when nothing else has been said. I can t say, ‘l’ll see you after dinner, won't I?’ Why can't I? I often do. I don’t know'. Today I can’t.” But she did say it; and, "Well, that’s the trouble,” Phil began, as she had knowrn intuitively, without either precedent or reason, that he would begin. No safe, satisfactory. "Yes. of course.” No happy, thrilling, "Well, indeed you will.” No, "May I”? precious because of its humility and eagerness. It had been years since Phil had produced a "May I?” entirely satisfactorily. He had a client to see at a o'clock. He had thought that he and Ann might have their picnic supper in the w'oods, and that he wmuld have time to take her home before he went on to keep his engagement. “I see,” said Ann. "What’s the matter?” said Phil. "Nothing,” said Ann. "I suppose you think I shouldn't keep my engagement •with my client?” ‘No. T don’t,” Ann said, the hint of anger almost hidden under the weariness. "When did I ever think you should break a professional engagement” "Well, then,” he said, and it was eoming now and she could not stop it, "goodby.” If only he wouldn't top It off with one of thse silly,

outworn cliches of his. "Meet you at the merry-go-round.” said Phil. It was his thesis that humor and love could not be divorced. m a a PHILIP hung up the telephone receiver, and pounded the thing down on his desk, and said, "Damn!” He hated to lie—he was certain of that—and he felt hitter and ugly toward Ann because she had forced him to do so. Somew'here, he thought, there must be women in the world whom men could not "hurt.” Women to whom a man could say honestly, "Id like to have you go with me out into the country this evening: but, since you can't (or won’t), I am going alone. I happen, just now, to prefer the woods to your company.” It was, he further reflected, his fault, possibly, that Ann was incapable of receiving his candors. He had pampered her too often, catered too long to those tender feelings of hers; had been too ready, always, with excuses, explanations, apologies. She was angry this evening because he had waited until late to telephone to her. Why couldn’t she gently know, as she had used to know'—or had she. ever?—that he had always excellent reasons for everything, that he never was unjust nor careless? Today he had been very busy, and then he had waited to find whether the car would be available before he made plans. (To Be Continued) HINT BUTLER QUIZ IS ON Students Believe ‘Ax Will Fall* on Editors of Bull Sheet.* Belief that the “ax will fall” on perpetrators of the “Bull Sheet,”anonymous publication at Butler university, is the consensus of the student body. While faculty and administrative members deny official recognition, it is believed that investigations are under way. Individuals and organizations u'ho feel themselves libeled are reported to be planning legal action. The sheet which appeared last week indulges in ‘‘backstair gossip” of personalities and indictments of student, faculty and administrative action. IVTADOO BID IS SEEN Observers Regard Remarks as Feeler’ for Third Party Leadership. BV United rress LOS ANGELES. Dec. 21.—Declaring he found evidences of "political confusion everywhere,” William Gibbs McAdoo, Democratic leader, returned to Los Angeles from the east w'ith the opinion that a political revolt is brewing which may sweep both thg major parties into the discard at the next election. Although he denied that he still had presidential aspirations, McAdoo's attack upon the conventions of the major parties was interpreted in some quarters as indicating a willingness to lead a third party if one should be formed.

TARZAN AT THE EARTH'S CORE

After assuring himself that no lizard-man lurked, listening, in the shadows, Jason Gridlev suggested the five prisoners dig a tunnel. “It is our only hope of escape," he said. “Even that depends upon whether we guess right as to the direction we dig." The plan met with enthusiasm and Immediately all started at the difficult task. Working like beavers they hRd only their fingers for tools and the job proved slow and laborious.

While some of them hacked away at the earth, the others took the dirt removed and spread it about the mud floor of the long and narrow cave. This was done so that no pile of fresh earth would arouse suspicion if a Horib came. After considerable effort a tunnel three feet wide and ten long had been made, when Jason unearthed several large shells. With these the process of excavation went faster. Yet it seemed an endless job.

—By Ahern

Horibs came with food for their prisoners. At such times the men could hear their bodies splash as the Horibs dove into the lake to reach the prison's underground entrance. The five men would cease digging and group themselves in front of the entrance so that the lizard-men never suspected what was going on. At. last Jason uncovered some tree roots, and h® knew they had luckily dug beneath a forest growing alongside the lake.

Gridley hoped they would soon find the earth's surface—and freedom. And while the five men dug the ground beneath the dismal forest of the Horibs, a great ship rode majestically high in the air above the Mountains of the Thipdars. “They never could have come through this country alive,’’ its captain said to his first mate. “We will have to give up the search in this direction.” Yet scattered, unseen. beneath the ship, were all the men they sought.
