Ann. 2*. and PHILIP BCROYD. young lawyer, are still postKnlng their marriage though they have en engaged eight years. Cecily 22.

Marv-Frances has led him to believe rfNifc Is 1* vears old. He tries to persuade her to become his partner in a vaudeville act. Phil take* Ann to dinner and a girl she has never seen before sends him a note which he burns. Phil's explanations are vague and Ann decides to go the wav trouble develops with the tar and Phil stops to Investigate. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN ANN did not need to listen; so she breathed a smallish, confused prayer to the gods of garage men that this particular knock In Phil’s automobile might emanate from some source, any source, other that clogged piston rods. Phil’s responses to that special species of knock were invariable. He began by diagnosing the disease as fatal, since one mechanic named Jake Lucca had left town, and went frantically on from there. His procedure was to drive the car for a few hundred yards and stop it, and leap out, and open the hood, and peer despairingly into, the Insides of the tiling, and with an air of suppressing much prophecy that this was the pnd. Usually, since there was nothing else to be done, he would get into the car again, and start it with difficulty, and go for a few hundred yards more before he leaped out and lifted the hood, and peered, and so on. Cars. Ann had learned, suffering from this malady are moody, hysterical things; then will knock like a woodpecker and then, once in a while, they will stop and refuse to go another step until, after a short rest, they will pick up with a spurt and stop knocking and pretend that nothing has even been the matter with them. If a garage is in sight they will recover completely—cars with diseased piston rods dread garages—until tiie place nas been left miles behind. Then, worn out with the extra exertion of simulating strength where there were only weakness and courage, they will break down for a time and refuse to budge. Ann knew her piston rods. But Phil was a proud man, and thrifty, and to drive a seemingly healthy car into a garage, and to subject himself, or his patient, to a charge of neuroticlsm and four or five dollars, was a performance in which he would take no part. So they always flashed by the garages and broke down in some lonely spot on the highway. And then Phil would leap out, talking about Jake Lucca and open the hood and peer. . . . Stronger women than Ann have gone to pieces with less provocation than that afforded by piston rods. a a a CONVERSATION during calamity is heartless and footless, crippled and offensive, so Ann had. long since ceased attempting it. They rode In silence, except for the knock. Phil had his head cocked to one side so that never a vibration of sound should escape him, and Ann had ever so much time to think about the girl who wrote notes that needed to be burned at once, and Phil's night work of late, and the hard, bright antagonism in the girl’s eyes. They had passed a garage in a small town, five miles back, so a relapse was due. and it came, scheduled precisely, on a deserted stretch of road. Phil leaped out; this madp the ninth or tenth time within the hour. Ann. too. got. out of the car—she usually did so; it seemed more helpful. Phil lifted the hood and lookpd at the engine. Ann stood and watched the lights of an oncoming automobile growing larger and larger. She found no encouragement in

the fact of its approach. Another of Phil’s conventions concerning piston rods was a refusal to ask for aid from other motorists. Jake Lucca alone, In a world full of men, could repair piston rods, and Jake was leagues upon leagues away. The lights grew larger still, and dangerous seeming. and Ann stepped out of the glare just as the car—the sportiest sort of sports model—slowed and stopped, and a girl's voice called. “Hey, hey, Phil! Some more trouble!’’ Phil had started the engine and had his ear to its breast so that he could hear the knocks. Ann receded farther into the shadows. Letty stepped from the car, and crossed to Phil, and said, her childish voice raised high above,the groans of the engine, “What is it, old dear? Piston rods again?” Phil lifted his head, but he did not come back to a complete consciousness of the outside world—a heartless, knockless world where piston rods w'ere of secondary importance. A voice that he knew had greeted him, and he returned the greeting abstractedly. “Hello. Letty,” he said to Miss King, whose first name he was unsure of, could not really remember. * * * IF one small cat slinks out of a bag. wisdom may attempt to capI ture. If dozens of spry black cats, ! loosed possibly on purpose and all I at, once, plunge forth to trip and 1 skip and caracole into the night, confounding wisdom, courting and frolicking with folly, nothing much can be done about it. Letty’s next remark, addressed to Ann in the shadow's and made with one hand on Phils arm, was, “doesn’t the poor darling have the foulest times with his old piston rods?” Ann came forth and was introduced as Miss Fenwick to Miss King, and Miss King said politely, “Phil’s told me a lot about you.” Miss King’s escort came along. His name was Mr. Smith—a nice easy name to remember, and he was glad to know every one, or so he said. He disclaimed all knowledge of things mechanical, but offered to give Phil a tow, if Phil had a rope. Phil had no rope. Letty said to Phil, “Say, listen, sweetheart-darling . . .” And had retreated again to the shadows, so she might have been out of earshot; but Kenneth Smith was right there Until he walked back to the sporty sports model and climbed into it. Phil said. “Never mind that, now\ Letty,” and she said, “Yes, but I want to tell you ” Phil said, “Don’t go, Ann. Stay here.” And Ann kept right on going, and Letty kept hold of Phil’s arm. Kenneth said to Ann, “Some crush over there.” as if he were in pain, and Ann said brightly, “Yes, it does seem to be.” a a a KENNETH sighed; Ann did not. Kenneth offered, “She makes me sick, if I do say it. She used to be a swell woman, but since she's •gone bash on that sheik she’s one wet smack right. Can't see a heavy date; can’t see but a coupla dances after dinner; can’t see a damn thing but sheiky and trailing him around. I'm fed. i I'm bloated. I’m through. I’m not doing bloodhounding for a living. Not yet.” Ann said sweetly and with sympathy that she did not blame him in the least. Kenneth opened the car door. “Won't you get in and sit down and wait?” “Thank you,’* Ann accepted. “I’ll get in and sit down,” she sank into ! the wide depth of the seat, “but why wait?” Kenneth .said, after a moment. ‘‘l get you. I’d go in a hurry if his damn car wasn't busted down.” “It. isn't..”' said Ann. “It's his damn (from Ann!) ‘stubbornness. The car would run well enough to get home if he'd run it instead of listening to it and looking at it. He’ll have to. sooner or later. “He has a knock in his engine—that's all. They will get home in ! good order, in time.”

“Sure of it?” “Positive. Listen to hi* engine. It will run.” “I'm on!” said Kenneth, and reached with a gesture of violence for the clutch, and he and Ann were off. mam FOR a short time Ann gave herself over completely to the soothing, heart-easing luxury afforded by the absence of piston rods; but presently, when Kenneth had reiterated and told the world for the third time, that he was through with, or off of, Letty King for life, she felt sorry for him and said that she hoped she hadn’t made trouble for him, and that he was not going to be unhappy. “Any time!” He said it twice, and added that Letty King gave him a pain in the neck, and invited Ann to call him Ken, or Kenny, or anything she liked but Mr. Smith. He went on to say that he was unaccustomed to taking girls out for an evening and having them go cow-eyed over other men, writing notes and sending them by waiters, and that he had no intentions of accustoming *himself to such activties from his girl friends. They could stand him up once, just once; after that he'd show them whether or not he was dizzy. Ann repeated that she did not blame him. Unexpectedly Kenneth proferred the suggestion that they park, in a road they would reach in a minute, and take a turn or two at necking. a a a ANN declined pleasantly, offering by way of apology eccentricity of habit. She had never gone in for that sort of thing. “One big evening!” Kenneth remarked. Ann again was sorry. ‘•No, I didn't mean that,” said Kenneth. “I don’t go in much for necking myself. Oh, well —of course, I go in for it; but I don’t get any kick out of it. Never have. Most girls do, though. That’s all most girls care about. I just kind of thought it was a shame for you to have your evenin§ wrecked. “What a girl like you, so pretty and—and all, can see in a wet smack like that boy friend of Letty’s, I don’t know, if I do say it.” “I don’t either,” said Ann. “He’s a cold dish if ever there was one.” “I rather think so, too,” said Ann. “Letty gave me a bum steer then, as usual,” he said. “She told me that you were engaged to him, and that he was trying to get out of it and couldn't. “I thought she was lying all along, and after I saw you tonight I was certain she was. I'll tell the world you aren’t hard to take, after Letty King. Yes, I was certain she was.” * Ann was not the one to dispute with a certainty. “What a grand car you have,” she said. “She goes,” he said carelessly. “If she won't, I have another that will, j Same with my speed boats. Got a couple. One to run and or eto keep in reserve in case of accidents or anything” “How wonderful,” said Ann, “always to have something in reserve in case of accidents.” (To Be Continued.)

TARZAN AT THE EARTH’S CORE

When Ja’s fleet was still a considerable distance off the coast, the 0-220 raced ahead at full speed toward Korsar. The plan was to affect the Rescue of David without bloodshed. As the dirigible glided over the inner world's principal city, its streets and courtyards filled with people staring upward in awestruck wonder. Three thousand feet above Korsar the ship stopped and Tarzan sent for the three Korsar prisoners. V (

With stem face the ape-man addressed Lajo. “I have shown and explained to you all these deadly bombs that could easily blow up The Cid's palace. They could destroy all Korsar. You have seen the fleet coming to rescue the Emperor of Pellucidar. Your whole country is at our mercy. Now I am going to give you a chance to save it, for you shall take a message to The Cid. Will you tell him the truth?” The Korsar trembled, for he did not know what to expect, but he answered; “I wiii.*

•Very well, - answered Tarzan. •The message is simple. Tell your ruler we demand the release of Pellucidar s Emperor at once. Explain how we can enforce our will. If he places the Emperor upon a ship and sends him unharmed to our fleet, we will go away without firing a shot. If not, the blood of all his subjects will be upon his head. Do you understand?” "I do." whispered Lajo. Tarzan led him aft, where a bundle was waiting. "It is a parachute,” he said; ”P r anus through here.”

Quickly the parachute was adjusted. Ita mechanism was explained to the Korsar, carefully. They led him to a door in the cabin and flung it open. The man hesitated. “Remember,” said Tarzan, “your message to The Cid.” “Don't forget to jerk the ring,” cautioned Jason. Then, pale,* but showing no other fear, Lajo, the Korsar jumped off into space. A moment later the watchers saw the white folds of the parachute streaming in the air—saw it open and knew that the message of Taizan would be delivered to the Cid of Korsar
