Next morning Phil comes to tske Anne to her office In his car. He bei/ her to set their wedding date. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER EIGHTEEN “T CAN'T think about it,” said , 1. Ann. “I know, and I believe you know, that it would kill Grand and Rosalie. I mean—it would really kill them. They'd die. Think about going to them with such a suggestion! Planning to take them away from their home! It would strip them of their pride, and everything that they believe • they have accomplished with their lives, and they are old. “If we paid their board, it would be charity and nothing else, and they’d knoiy It. As well put them in the poorhouse, so far as the fundamentals are concerned. They couldn’t take up their lives in other people's homes. “It would be like transplanting old trees into soil they couldn’t live in. It would be—murdering them, after we’d broken their hearts.” ”1 don’t know that that is true,” said Phil. “I think it isn’t. But 1 knew you’d say it. I knew almost the very words you’d use. Except that you forgot to mention what you owe them.” "Just the same, Phil, whether you like it or not, we were three little orphan girls with no other relatives in the world. And Grand and Rosalie did take us right in and support us entirely for several years. They’d do it yet if they could, and willingly—they think that they arc —and they’ve given us love and interest and care all these years. I • don’t say that we’ve given them nothing. But they’ve given to us, too. 4 When mother and father died, if it, hadn’t been for Grand and Rosalie, we three girls would have been reared In an orphan asylum.” Her voice trembled over the last of it, and two tears waiting were wiped not furtively away. Phil took his hand from the wheel and patted her knee. “I’m sorry, dear, if I have worried you. Don't worry, please. Just know that I love you—and you only in the world. We are going to get this thing thought through and find a solution before long now.” “Phil, dear,” she answered, “I am afraid we can’t.” “And I’m afraid,” he said, “that we shall have to. Very soon.” n tt u MARTA was neither gaudy nor loud-looking. She was becomingly and suitably dressed for morning in a tweedy suit with a trim little hat and doeskin gloves that wrinkled expensively around her wrists; but all the people in the street car stared, as people always stared at Marta (Ann said it was because she held her head so high and ,took such long steps) as she came through the door, and flickered her fingers at Cecily, and swung down the aisle to take the seat beside her. Marta was out so early in the morning because there was a dandy sale of ravishing chiffons advertised at Oilder’s, and papa wanted the car and it was no good going to sales unless you got there yhen the doors opened. As for that green georgette and those other old rags, Cissy was utterly ridic. She had worn them for utter ages, and she’d look a fright in any of them this year. • Luties said the new things in New York were positively ■Riling. “If I get something today I’ll wear it to Gretchen’s, though I wouldn’t think of getting anything new just for it. Will you wear your pink? It's utterly adorable. “Lutie had a darling, a little import, something like it. She had it lengthened, she says. She couldn’t match the color—a little import, you know—but she got white and

had it dyed to match, and put a flounce on. “Maybe you could do something like that with your pink, if you wanted to. Did Gretchen ask Arm and Phil?” “No,” Cecily said, profoundly unconcerned. “We didn't know that Gretchen was giving a party.” m m MARTA clapped her hands to the trim little hat and dropped them into her lap again and slumped forward. “Honestly! Do you mean to tell me that Gretch Steigerwald is giving a party and has had the utter nerve not to ask you? “Honestly! Well, I’ll call her up the minute I get home, and I’ll tell her what I think about it, and ” “Marta!” Cecily protested. “I wouldn’t have you do that for anything in the world. Promise you won’t. I owe Gretchen a party and a picnic ” “Honestly! I'm not promising this morning, Cissy. I shouldn’t have thought that even Gretch would have had the nerve. You don’t mean to say you don’t know why she has left you out?” * “Why shouldn’t she? I haven’t asked her to anything for years.” “Be your age, Cissy, but don’t crawl. Gretch has gone off her head about Barry McKeel, and he wouldn’t look at any girl but you at my party, so Gretch is avoiding competition—Gretch’s. “Honestly! Leave it to Gretch! All right, I’ll tell you what I’m going to do. Herbert and I’ll go late. When we get there, I’ll say something about being the last ones, and then I’ll say, ‘No, we aren’t, either. Cissy isn’t here yet.’ “Oh, boy! Herbert will help me, and we’ll keep it up. ‘Where is Cissy, Gretch? Is she ill? Did she phone or anything?’ I will keep at it until I make her own up before the whole crowd that she didn’t ask you.” “Marta, you will not! I wouldn’t ” “Won’t I? Just won’t It? Or else I’ll show myself a grand time and tell her what I think of her and stay away from her old party myself. “It is an utterly sneaking trick.. That’s what it is. I knew all along that she was throwing this party to try to grab off Barry McKeel. Well, I just hope she gets him. That's all. “She’s fixing up a sweet lot of grief for herself. I warned her when I saw she was crazy about him. I told her just' what she could expect. But, of course, nobody can tell Gretch Steigewald anything. “I guess I just won’t go to her old party. I’ll bet I can get Dorothy and Bill to cut it, too. Honestly! I certainly thought Gretch was a better sport than that. Leaving you out! You didn’t like Barry, anyway, did you?” “Well, yes,” Cecily said. “I—quite liked him.” * tt a MARTA looked at Cecily. “Oh, my stars and garters!” She clapped her hands to her hat and held them there for an instant. “Wouldn’t I? Isn’t that just little Marta Baldwin, nee Nuty, all over? “Honestly! Off I went, buzzing straight to Gretch and dishing her all the dirt about Barry, and never saying one word to you—my best friend. Honestly! I .didn’t think you liked him. “But, listen, Cissy, I’ll tell you now. “Don’t have a thing to do with him. Give him the air. Cut him out with a knife. He’s crazy.” “Crazy!’’ It sounded as if Cecily had bitten it in two. “Or something,” Marta modified. “Lutie knew him the entire two years he was in New York. When she met him he was going with a girl named Constance—something-or-other. I’ve forgotten her last name. I didn’t meet her. She was in Europe when I was at Lutie’s. But anyway, Lutie said that he gave her a terrific rush. Lutie said she was an utterly adorable brunet, feminine type and not very strong. “She had wads of money, her own car, and a chauffeur and all; so you can imagine how she’d dress and everything. A lot of men were crazy about her—but she cut them all out for Barry.

“Lutie said she just walked around in the Seventh Heaven—Constance did, I mean. And then one day, without a word of explanation—not a word nor a thing, hr just dropped her flat. “Wouldn’t have another thing to do with her. Wouldn’t answer when she telephoned. Wouldn’t answer her notes. Just utterly all over—and she had no idea why.” “Pooh!” said Cecily. “I don’t believe it.” “Yes, I know it’s true, or Lutie wouldn’t have said so. But listen. I told you about Bea Mickletree, didn't I?” “Was she the beauty who always slept with her earrings on and who collected jade and was so frightfully clever?" Marta giggled. “You couldn’t get over those earrings, could you? Neither could I. Yes, she was the one. But don’t you remember that I told you she was having an awful time because some man had broken her heart?” “Oh, was that Bea?” “That was Bea. And the man was Barry. Same thing as with Con-stance-right over again. Bea had to keep up with her work—interior decorating, you know. “I know positively that It is true, because Bea used to come up to Lutie’s paratment and cry and go on. Os course, I didn't admire that—but still, you had to feel awfully sorry for her. “Everything was all right, and theri all of a sudden everything was just utterly over. He wouldn’t answer when she telephoned to him—wouldn’t answer her notes; same thing right over ag&in. Wouldn’t even come to Lutie's unless she'd give him to understand for sure that Bea wouldn’t be there. “Utterly over. Dropped her with a thud and never another word or look from him.” (To Be Continued) DEHIOOIATS ON WET-DRY FENCE Congressmen Await Replies to Raskob Questionnaire. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Demor cratic congressmen at odds over the advisability of making prohibition repeal one of the major issues in the next presidential campaign, are looking to the meeting of the Democratic national committee Jan. 9 to determine their attitude in congress. John J. Raskob, chairman of the national committee, has undertaken to learn just how the rank and file of the party feel on prohibition repeal. He now is receiving answers to a questionnaire sent to 88,580 contributors to the 1928 campaign fund. He requested “yes or no” answers to seven questions. The first asked whether the Democratic platform should contain a definite declaration on the subject. The second was whether the platform should commit Democratic senators and congressmen to vote for resubmission of the amendment to a popular vote. The final question inquires whether the Democratic party "can successfully ignore the prohibition question with its economic problems by remaining silent or by adopting a mere law enforcement plank as was done in the 1928 convention?”

TARZAN AT THE EARTH’S CORE

Jason's excitement was at the highest pitch. Instinctively he grabbed at the things falling upon him. At first he thought it was a Horib who had discoveied their plan for escape. So he clung desperately and pulled with all his • might. To his astonishment he found he grasped the powerful muscles of a man'a legs. Nevertheless he was determined to drag the creature into the hole, whoever he was. Then slowly but surely he felt himself being lifted upward.

As the earth gave way under Tarzan and he felt something in the hole beneath grab his legs, he was buried almost to his armpits. But he had regained his rifle which had fallen nearby in a horizontal position. As the apeman was dragged slowly inward, the rifle's muzzle and butt lodged upon opposite sides of the aperture, forming a rigid bar across the hole’s opening. And as he clung to it, steadily Tarzan's steel biceps tensed and he slowly drew himself upward.

Jason strained and struggled frantically but he could not overcome the steady pull that was lifting him toward the surface of the ground. He knew now the creature to which he clung was no Horib for his grasp was not upon fishlike scales but the smooth, firm flesh of a human being. Suddenly he was knocked backward by a powerful blow in his stomach which forced him to let go his hold. When he came to, only the blue 'fcy, seen through the tunnel's exit, was above Im.

The Horib had witnessed Tarzan’s mysterious sinking into the ground. Waiting not to investigate the miracle, he seized Jana and dragged her away with him. The two were just disappearing among the trees as Tarzan, emerging from the shaft, caught sight of them. A growl like an enraged beast’s came from his lips as he realized his sinking into the hole might keep him from rescuing Jana. Then it was he gthe violent kick that sent Jason Gridley sprawling.
