Eight weeks—ot course. Eight months—probably, but protestingly. Eight years—no real man could or would.” “Phil is a real man.” “Yes?” Barry made it an impudence. “But he is,” she insisted, struggling against an astonishing new loyalty which, unwelcome, she felt must be insincere. “He truly is. He Is so good, and so trustworthy, and patient, and ” .“Lazy?” he supplied. *-T “He Isn't lazy,” she contested, and hated Phil with all her might. Why did he insist upon Intruding? What difference did it make whether he was a real man, or lazy, or not lazy? , Why should he be here at all, with his inevitable rightness, smoothing his vain mustache, a menacing third under these trees and stars? Phil did not like her. Why should she defend him? Why didn’t Barry dispose of him instead of saying in that insistent voice, as if it were important, "Not mentally lazy?” Why didn't Barry chuck the Whole business and kiss her again? He did kiss her again. But, after that, he said disturbingly, “Cecily, 1* something wrong?” “No," she declared, and repeated, *No,” and added, “Nothing at all,” because something was wrong, and ahe knew it, and Barry knew it. "Forgive me,” he said. “It was Insufferably rude of me to criticise your friend and your sister’s fiance. Inexcusable—of course, I am sorry. “I suppose I thought, or felt, lather, that you and I were so—so Alone, so close, that other people were inconsequential. Even so, that Was no reason for rudeness, was it?’. “You weren’t rude,” she said. “We were so close that other people were Inconsequential—weren’t, exist back there before we got into the car. “That is why I didn’t wish to begin with plans and futures that dragged other people in with us. I wanted to stay right in the present. and close and alone with you. I asked you to “I didn’t wish to talk about marrying, and being engaged, and the family, and Ann. and Phil—” There he loomed again, standing in his overshoes and displaying all his sterling qualities. She thrust her hands out in an impotent gesture, trying to push Phil away, and said, “Oh—” softly, under her breath. h tt tt NO wonder. He had accused her, the loveliest living thing, .of practicality and guest towels and greed. He had gone off talking about savings and doctors’ bills and the cost of living to her—to Cecily! He. along with all nature, halted, gtupefied, spellbound, stunned before such a crude display of injustice and asininity. There was little to be done about Jt now. He might slink out <$ the car and steal to the cliff and commit suicide politely. And yet—she did toss back her head and wrinkle her nose and squint when she iSaughcd. Hope lay there, if not |>romise. “Darling—darling! I do understand, at last. It’s no good beginning on what a fool I’ve been. We couldn’t get through it this evening, gnd you know all about it, anyway. “But,, Cecily, it comes to this. I 'love you more than I know how to love. You’ll help me? And now

let's go straight back to your present and our aloneness and your rightness.” They had come swiftly. The path was lost. They searched for it, for a time, and then decided sensibly to go home. Grand and Rosalie always fussed if she and Ann got home much later than 11 o’clock. No, they didn’t know; they slept like tops. But, usually, it was easier to get in early than it was to fib about it in the morning. Yes, they always asked about the time. Too, this was Cecily’s week to get breakfasts, since it was Ann’s veek to get dinner. Yes, they always took turn about—it was easier. Next week would be her week for the evening work, and then she’d have to go straight home from the office. tt tt a SPEAKING of the office, he had looked up the R. W Correy Insurance Company in the telephone book that morning and had almost telephoned to her there. Would it be all right to telephone sometimes during the day? No. She was sorry, but it wouldn’t. Mr. Correy was a crank about the girls using the telephone. She always went downstairs to telephone to Ann at noon. Yes, she always telephoned to Ann at noon. Just a habit, she supposed. Mr. Correy was a crank about many things. Two other girls worked in the office: Miss Bush and Miss Grugers. No, she didn’t like them very well. She didn’t dislike them, but they were the “all righty” sort. Mr. Correy always was snooping around their desks to see whether t hey had broken his rule by leaving their lipsticks and powder compacts in the office. No, he never snooped around her desk, but she never had broken the rule. He was a fiend for rules, made them about every little thing, and always was threatening to have them printed, as if that would disgrace the office force, though he never had done so. “Barry said: “You’ll be out of all that before long now.” “I don’t mind it,” Cecily said. “He’s just fussy and important—not mean. He’s good about money. “f’ve had to ask for advances once or twice, and he’s been grand about it. He isn’t stingy with raises, either. He always gives them for Christmas presents. I'm hoping for five, or maybe ten, next Christmas.” “Christmas!” Barry scoffed, and counted from April to December on his fingers. tt tt tt AS Cecily came into the upper hall, Ann, wearing a red outing flannel kimono over her white nightgown, emerged from the bathroom. For the first time in her life, envy touched Cecily’s admiration of Ann’s perfect beauty. “Angel,” she said, “with your hair down like that, yott are the most beautiful thing in the world.” “I washed my hair,” said Ann, as if that both explained and discredited Cecily’s extravagance, “and took a bath. Mary-Frances and I cleaned the front hall tonight.” “Didn’t Phil come?” “He came to the office and brought me home in the car, but he couldn’t stay, I didn't care—much, I mean. “I was so glad to get, at the hall while Grand and Rosalie were gone. They went to the Carmichaels’ —to be sympathized with, I suspect.” The girls had gone into Cecily’s room. “What now?” she asked, as she pulled her dress off over her head. “Gadding granddaughters, I think.” “Ann, I’m sorry. Did you have to put up with that again this evening?” “I didn’t mind. They gave up the party—punishment, I imagine. But I’ll warn you, you’d better have Barry lie low for a while. ‘A granddaughter of min who, when she Is not betrothed to a man—Cecily I do not blame. No. She is young. She is inexperienced. But a man knows these things. A man should guard a woman against herself, if necessary. A man —’ ” “Ann! Pity’s sake! As bad as that? You don’t think Grand would be rude to Barry, do you?” “No. of course not. I just think Grand will wave and waltz up the minute he sees him and ask his intentions and are they honorable.

He is in a perfect pet about the honorableness of Barry’s intentions. “I never saw him act this way before, aid you? Besides, he’s gone sort of mysterious—something—l don’t know what is the matter with him.” “Don’t you? I do. He’s jealous! He's always been jealous of Phil, and now he’s starting in on Barry. But as for Barry’s Intentions —” Cecily seemed to be absorbed in fitting the shoe trees into her best brown shoes—“well, Ann, they’re honorable as anything.” ANN said, “Cecily, are you engaged?” The trouble was that she said it as she might have said, “Cecily, have you drowned the blind man’s dog in the drinking water?” Cecily shook her head, “Nope.” She tried to be hard about it. “Not I. Not us.” Ann sat down on the bed and sighed unrestrainedly. “You haven’t known him nearly long enough,” she tried to explain. “Says you?” Cecily gave it up; she couldn’t be swaggerish with Ann tonight. “But—but, angel, he loves me. He told me so this evening.” “Well,” said Ann. “Well what?” Cecily peeked into the mirror at herself in her pink pajamas and, smiling, came to sit or the bed beside Ann. “Do you love him, really?” Ann asked, and got up and went to take Cecily’s bathrobe from the closet door. “Here, put this on, honey. It’s chilly in here.” Obediently Cecily covered the pretty pink things with the dingy old robe and said, “Thank you,” and said, “I thought you knew,” in answer to Ann's question. Ann asked, as if it were important, “But does he know that you love him?” “He does if he believes me. I told him so, almost the instant he told me. I fairly took the words out of his mouth.” Ann did not smile. “But —but didn’t he ask you to marry him, then, Cissy?” Cecily tossed back her head and laughed. “Angel! You’re so sweet and so funny, and you don’t know it. Yes, dear, he asked your sister, and made an honest woman of her and everything.” “Well, Cissy—l must say!” “No, Ann, he was just right and adorable. But I didn’t want to be engaged for a while. So I haven’t breathed the answer soft and low as yet.” “Cecily,” Ann declared, and empliasized her words w'ith emphatic nods of her head, “you are so wise. You are so wise. I had no idea that you were—so ■wise.” (To Be Continued)

WAR CORRESPONDENT TO TALK OVER RADIO Frederick Kuh, United Press Reporter, to Describe Manchuria Conflict. By United Press NEW YORK. Jan. 1. Frederick Kuh, central European news manager for the United Press Associations, will describe his experiences in war-torn Manchuria, in a broadcast from Berlin today at 1:30 p. m., central standard time.

TARZAN AT THE EARTH’S CORE

Under Tarzan’s leadership his strangely assorted party set out toward the river. Luckily, they found the long boat of the Korsars’ war-party, only three of whom remained as prisoners with the ape-man. The Horibs had killed all the others and left the boat where they had moored it. It proved big enough to hold them all and under the oars of the Waziri the staunch craft was launched out upon the waters of the River of Darkness.

As they floated toward the sea the river widened and it became possible to hoist a sail. Progress then became more rapid. Dimly visible in the distance, Tarzan sighted an island toward which they steered. Upon it they found game aplenty and fresh water. Making camp, they prepared for a long voyage across Pellucidar’s upcurving sea to the city of Korsar. Meat was dried or smoked, water put in bladders and great quantities stored aboard to last them if a storm should sweep the boat from its course.

Jana worked willingly with the men at the task of preparing for the voyage. Never once had she betrayed any interest in Jason’s presence or spoken to him. It got on the American's nerves. “What’s the big idea. Jana?” he said one day. “Both of us would be a lot happier if you would find your tongue.” Over her shoulder she tossed him a mocking laugh as she replied, “I am as happy as possible—until Thoar takes me back to Zoram.” Rebuffed again, Jason concluded the stalwart Thoar was her accepted suitor.

At length, all preparations ended, the company embarked upon the hazardous sea trip toward distant Korsar. They were often beset by angry and voracious monsters of the deep. But when all other methods of defense failed, the Waziri’s rifles proved a sure protection. So without chart or stars to guide them, the nevermoving sun of Pellucidar shining straight upon the dancing waves, the monotonous timelessness continued without a sign of land or men.
