TIME KINDS of LOVE • BY KAY CLEAVER STRAHAN

BEGIN HERE TODAY ANNE. CECILY, and MARY-FRANCES FENWICK live with th<*ir erandnarrnts. onre wealthy, now *o impoverished that nn * and Cecily'* famines jupoort the household. The slaters have been orphaned since childhood. The grandparents are known respecthelv as "ROSALIE" and • GRAND" and thev Insist on keening up pretenses ol their former wealth. Anne. 28. and Cecilv. 22. do secretarial work and Marv-FranceV 15. is still In school. When the story opens Anne has been engaged to PHILIP ECROYD. roung lawyer, for eight vears. Cecilv brines BARRY McKEEL home to dinner. she has known him only a thort time, but Is falling In love with him. Marv-Frances and her friend. ERMINTRUDE. are exrlted about the arrival of a stock company actor known es EARLY rfF ARMOUNT. Thev meet him on the street next dav and he speaks to them. Marv-Frances ts thrilled, agrees to meet him that night after the performance. Phil telephones Anne, asking her to go on a picnic. She refuses because It Is her night to cook at home. Phil, annoyed. takes LETTY KING, a filing clerk, on the picnic. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTEEN THREE more trilled affirmatives before Mary-Frances turned from the telephone to Ann. ‘‘Mayn't I ple-ase go over to Ermintrude’s lor just half an hour? Ple-ase?” "No,” said Ann firmly. “You were there last night. I told you _ that I wanted you to help me this evening.” ‘‘But what in the world,” asked Rosalie, though indulgently, “is this notion of yours about cleaning the hall tonight, Ann? Such an odd* time to choose.” “May I?” whined Mary-Frances. "No, dear,” said Ann. “You may not.” “Darling,” said Rosalie, the peacemaker perpetual, ‘ask your little friend to come here and visit you this evening.” “No,” said Ann. “Mary-Frances must help me this evening.” Mary-Frances at the telephone wilted and drooped; desire for living went from her; she was abused, martyred, and this she gave to Rosalie, along with a quivering lower lip and a knuckle close to her eye ready to wipe away the tears that even her courage could hot long forestall. Rosalie, sorrowful, too, with sympathy. said, “Dearest, tell your little friend that you will call her again in a few minutes, and we’ll 6ee.” And Mary-Frances said, “Listen, Ermintrude, I’ll call you back in a see—l’ve got to hang up now,” and replaced the receiver on its hook • and looked malignantly at Ann. 'Ann, dear,” Rosalie began, “don’t you think it is just a bit selfish that because you have no engagements for this evening, you should insist that Mary-Frances make none?” "No,” Ann said. “The hall must be cleaned, and I think Mary-Fran-ces should be willing to help. It takes hours for one person to dust the grille work on the stairs, and —” Rosalie inserted, “But why tonight? Isn't evening rather a ’strange time to begin house cleaning?” “It is the only time I have.” “Now, now, Ann!” Rosalie shook a playful finger. “Don’t you recall a little story or—urn —something about the early bird?” Ann did not answer that. She spoke, instead to Mary-Frances. “I’m tired tonight, honey, and the ball must be cleaned. It has been needing it for weeks now, you know. “If you really don’t wish to help me, you needn’t. Only—l sort of thought you’d rather help me than to have me do it alone.” “I guess I’d just as soon,” said Mary-Frances. “All right Ann, ungel. I’ll tell Ermintrude I can’t.” a tx tt GRAND cleared his throat and gestured detainingly toward : Mary-Frances. “One moment, my darling,’’ he said. “I fear that 11 have fallen far behind in this dis- ; cussion and have, in consequence, failed of its conclusion. “I do not question your motives, Ann —dear Ann —but I do question your decision. To clean the front; hall at a late hour on a spring eve- ! ring! The front hall. Suppose that guests should arrive in the midst of this process of cleaning. Suppose ...” He went on and cn; but presently he asked a ques- j tion with Mary-Frances’ name in It and paused for an answer. Ann had not been actually listening for some time. She had formed, forced, perhaps, a habit of j looking attentive and of paying no more attention to him that she had ; paid to other extraneous sounds.

It saved trouble with her temper i and she rarely got caught, because j she knew him and his speeches so well. She ventured, now: “Yes, Grand. Still, I do think that Mary FranIces is old enough to have some duties and some responsibilities.” | “You are right in that. There ! can be no discussion of that. But I note that you evade my question, i I shall put it differently. Who is to ! decide what these duties and responsibilities shall be? Os what they shall consist? “In other words, do you little girls not forget, sometimes at least, that your Rosalie and Grand still are able to take their places—able and willing—as heads of this housei hold? I am not criticising. I understand only too well how this—l shall not call it thoughtlessness nor carelessness—on your part comes about. A desire to spare Rosalie and me is at the source, I know. That I know. But our shoulders are still broad, and we are here with you children for but one purpose. “Shift the burden, little Ann. Shift the burden. And now, Mary | Frances, with my full and free con- ■ sent, and I trust with Ann’s, you may telephone to your little friend l and invite her here to your home to ; spend the evening with you.” Ann nodded and said, “All right, dear,” to Mary-Frances, and Rosalie • commented concerning how easy it was to have life flow along like a song. “It is only a matter,’’ said Rosalie, “of our all singing together the same sweet little loving tune.” * LETTY tossed away her cigaret, and Philip stopped being informative about birds and rose from ! the blanket spread over the wet grass to put his heel on the smoldering stub. She said, “Oh, that’s the third one I’ve made you stand up to put out. all in a row, isn’t it?” and gig- ; gled a little. “I just don’t seem to remember about forest fires and j things.” “Quite all right,” Philip answered, and sat down again opposite her with the same yard and a half of brown and red Indian blanket spaced between them. Letty sighed, almost imperceptibly. She was coming to fear that, in spite of Mr. Ecroyd’s good looks, she had made a mistake when she cut her date with Ken Smith to come out with him. So far he had been absolutely a flat tire, talking unslakediy of piston rods and scenery and birds. If she hurried, perhaps she could head him off before he got started again on mountain robins. “Memory is kind of a funny thing, isn’t it?” she offered. “Now, with me, I really have a wonderful memory—everybody says so—but I just don’t remember anything that I don't think is important. “Anything important I always remember. Like when I file a card—it is just like I filed it in my mind at the same time. I never forget it. And I’m the same way with names, and faces, and prices, and things I’m to buy, and all like that. Anything important I can always remember.” “And you don’t consider forest fires important?” Philip smiled, though, as he questioned. “Well, of course I do. But I know perfectly well that a fire wouldn’t start out here now when everything is so wet. I’ll bet anything you couldn’t start one if you tried.” “It is the principle of the thing, isn’t it?” Philip rebuked gently. “If one gets into the habk of throwing lighted cigarets about when they aren’t dangerous, one might easily forget at some time when they would constitute a real hazard.” # # LETTY sighed again, less imperceptibly. “I’m not much for forming habits myself,” she said. “Good!” Philip responded heartily, and added, “No—l’m sure you aren’t,” and looked again at her small, neat head, with its red-gold hair that seemed to sparkle even in the shadows, and wondered again whether or not it smelled of soap. During the last half hour, since she had taken off her beret, he had been speculating about that gleaming young hair. It should not be

perfumed; It should smell cleanly, of soap. She smiled at him engagingly. She had no notion why her remark about habits had pleased him, but his sudden enthusiasm was complimentary. He was the best-looking man she knew. He was positively better looking than Gary Cooper, and so distinguished.. She’d bet he would be grand with necking—those firm lips under that handsome mustache . . . “Tell me,” he said half teasingly, “what are you much for?” “I don't get you,” she said, and went on to say quickly, “Do you know you are just terribly goodlooking?” “Thank you,” he said. “It is very kind of you to say so. Do you know that you are extremely pretty? Now, then, you say that you aren’t much for habits; tell me, what are you much for?” His teasing brought the note of intimacy that had been so stupidly lacking until now. Her curiosities were acute, and her impulses were undisciplined. Two scurrying, jerking movements across the blanket brought her beside him, snuggled Just under his shoulder. “This?” she questioned. "How about you.” Her lip paste was perfumed. Her hair smelled, disappointingly, of smoke. (To Be Continued)

GARBAGE PLANT BIDSJEJECTED New Figures to Be Asked for Cooker Projects. Failure to agree upon a successful bidder led the city sanitary board Tuesday to reject all bids received for installation of twentyfour cookers at the city garbage plant. New specifications also are to be drawn up by B. J. T. Jeup, board president, who announced the board would readvertise for bids. Total cost of the cookers, which are used in manufacturing fertilizer, is estimated at about $24,000. Jeup and O. C. Ross clashed when they attempted to award the contract. Ross favored an out-of-town firm, which submitted a bid about $3,000 lower than any Indianapolis firm. Lined up against Ross were Jeup and A. G. Moore, city engineer and ex-officio member of the sanitary board, both of whom held that “local firms should be favored in public contracts.” Jeup said that he would prepare new specifications before he retires from office Jan. 1. DELAY IS ORDERED IN KRAUSE GAMING CASE Lottery Czar Has Fled City and Is Sought in Pennsylvania. Thirty-day continuance of the gaming cases against John Krause, 1210 North Wallace street, midwest lottery czar, and two of his alleged confederates, was granted Tuesday by Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker. Trials now are set for Jan. 22. Krause, under $3,500 bonds in several cases, disappeared from the city several weeks ago with his son and daughter. They are reported to be in Pennsylvania and Chief Mike Morrissey has issued appeals to police throughout the country to arrest the trio. Charges against H. E. Meister, 1124 North Dearborn street, and William Drinkard, 815 East Twentyfourth street, purported agents of Krause, were continued. S TKKEftS GENERAL TOMATO ' LED ON HIS EVIL LEGIONS.

TARZAN AT THE EARTH’S CORE

Tarzan had vanished almost before the Horib guarding him realized it. When he did, he raised a cry of warning to those ahead, but neither by sight nor sound could they locate the fugitive, who was swinging rapidly through the upper terraces of the forest. Jana, riding a little in the rear of Tarzan, saw his escape. Her heart sank as she realized she was now alone and unprotected among the lizard-men.

Braze as she was, The Red Flower of Zoram came as near to experiencing fear as she ever had in her life. She did not blame Tarzan for escaping when he had the chance. But she had felt safe in his presence and now she felt very much alone. She told herself that Jason would not thus have deserted her . . . Following the scent-spoor that was his only guide, Tarzan of the Apes moved rapidly through the trees. He climbed high and here he found a new world.

It was a world of brilliant sunlight, luxuriant foilage and flowers. There were strange birds, flying beasts and gaudy moths. Not once had • he doubted the origin of the scent he followed, though he could not imagine how it had come into this gloomy wood of vast Pellucidar. He moved rapidly, for he wished to reach his destination ahead of the Horibs. He hoped his escape would delay the lizard-men while they searched for him, and so it did.

The Horbids climbed the trees and searched about for the gilak prisoner who had broken away. When finally, thwarted in their search, they resumed their march, they were in an ugly mood which boded no good for Jana. Far ahead of them Tarzan Ijad dropped to the lower terraces. Strong no* in his nostrils was the scent-spoor he had been foliowring. It told him truer than words that he had but little further to go to find those he sought.
