THREE KINDS of LOVE • BY KAY CLEAVER STRAHAN
BEGIN HERE TODAY ANN and CECILY FENWICK have for years auonorted themselves, their younger aister. MARY-FRANCES. end their grandoarents. Known as ROSALIE nd “QRAND." Because ot this llnanctal responsibility. Ann. who t* 28. Is unable to marrv PHIL ECROYD. voung lawyer to whom she has been engaged Ceclfv. 22. loves BARRY McKEEL. an engineer, but when he proposes she refuses to name their wedding date for the same reason. Marv-Franees. 15. and still in school, strikes up an acouaintance with EARL DK ARMOUNT. vaudeville actor, and meets him secretly. He tries to persuade her to become his stage partner. Ann and Phil quarrel when she hears LETTY KING, who works In Phil a olflve building, address him with endearments. Then Cecilv learns Barn/ has left town with out telling her. he is much disturbed. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY . CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO "ti TELL—wasn’t there something W about his book?” Ann asked. ••Yes. But that wasn’t my fault. Could it possibly be my fault that that hateful creature in New York sent back the last two chapters of Barry's book and said that they had fallen flat? Reasonably, Ann—not because I’m your sister or anything —could that have been my fault?” ‘‘Darling, of course not. How could it be?” "Barry thought it was my fault,” Cecily said. “He didn’t say so right out; but he acted as if it were my iault. He said that he’d either have to spend less time with me or more. ‘He meant get married, and he knows I can't right now. He had to . blame someone, and he wouldn't blame that wonderful person Mr. Ammington, so he blamed me. “When Mr. Ammington returned the chapters in May, and Barry was seeing me all the time, then, his praise was so extravagant that Barry said he saw himself in New York quelling the literati with a look and a gesture. “And now, just because, these Rren't so good, he blames me. Maybe. he didn’t blame me. I don’t know. Oh, Ann—Ann, what am I "going to do? What am I going to do? What —” “Sh-h-h, honey,” said Ann. “I was talking kind of loud then, ■wasn’t I? But that’s just, because I'm so—so wretched. I don’t usually. You said I didn’t. “Ann, I couldn’t have screamed at him, do you think? I don’t know. I can't remember. When he wouldn’t answer me, and wouldn t answer me, no matter what I said. Think of it, Ann—we came almost fifteen miles, and he wouldn t answer me, Just drove along with that terrible expression—set and white —on his £ “I felt as if I were going crazy. I felt as if I had to make him speak—say anything. I may have raised my voice. Ann, do you suppose I did forget and raise my voice?” tt tt tt 't~vEAR how can I tell? But I U can tell this—if he loves you he won't stay away and not try to make up just because you raised vr-r voice when you were talking to him. . “If he’d do that, you woulmt want him, would you, Cissy?” “I would. Os course I would. You, 'don’t understand. The more I think of it, the more it seems like it was all my fault. “And yet—l was so tired Thursday, and I told you, Mr. Correy was rude to me, and he'd never been rude before, and everything went wrong all day. I scorched the dinner, and Grand had a preachy streak and was rowing about you and Kennth. “I just kept thinking that when Barry came everything would be all right. And then when he came he’d had the letter from that Mr. Ammington, and he was all out of sorts, and he said that about, my not developing frying-pan querulousness after we were married. “Warning me what he'd have in a wife. And then he went on, and it came out that he thought cooking was important. Think of it, Ann! Cooking really important! I tried to laugh it off by saying we'd get a menu for a marriage license, but he wouldn’t even smile. “Not that I thought it was smart —but h usually laughs. And—let me see, where was I? Anyway, I am a good cook, if that's all he wants. I am a good cook, aren’t I, Ann?” tt St tt “'Y7’OU’RE a wonderful cook. Os JL course you are.” Mary-Frances knocked on the door and opened it. “Cissy, tele-

i phone—’ ’and Cecily was in the hall before Mary-Frances had time to I say, “It’s Marta. I told her you i had a headache, but—’ Cevily ran on down the stairs, hoping, Ann knew, to hear “somej thing.” Those aching hopes for indefinite somethings, which one never heard, or which, hearing, hurt so unbearably. She crossed the room and rolled the blinds up from the open windows to let in the gentle gray twilight. Where, she wondered, were Phil and Letty at the precise moment; and what were they doing? Since that night in May, Phil and Letty in Ann’s thoughts had been as concurrent as thunder and lightning, and in consequence she was growing more and more deft with slamming shut the doors of her mind and locking them securely against the onslaughts of a storm. This eveniri" she closed them more readily „ ; ian usual by merely saying, “Poor Cissy,” and she locked them with a smug. “Silly!” and went to meet Cecily at the top of the stairs. “Come into the bathroom, honey, and wash your face. It will make you feel better.” “He didn’t go to Gretchen’s party after all,” Cecily said, as she allowed Ann to lead her into the bathroom. “I am a sight!” she declared, and put a still more miserable expression on the face in the mirror while Ann filled the rya-sh basin with water and stole a pinch of pink from Rosalie’s bath-salt jar. “It made all the difference.” said Cecily, “whether I didn’t wish him to go—he had to go then; or whether he didn’t wish to go.” “Men are like that,” Ann said, and squeezed a face cloth out of the water and tried to wash Cecily’s face for her. “Don’t. You dab so. 11l do it.” She did it, thoroughly, splashing and dipping her head to the water like a boy. “I suppose he left town on Friday,” she said, and took the towel Ann handed to her. “Where did he go?” “Albany.” “That isn’t far. Only about fifty miles, isn’t it?” “I don’t know. I wish it were China.” Ann said, “You do?” “Yes, I do. And then I wouldn’t be hoping all the time.” tt tt tt “t’vON’T hope.” Ann advised, and JL/ filled an eye cup with Grand’s boric acid solution. “What is he doing in Albany, for pity's sakes?” “I don’t want that eye stuff. The new hotel building I told you about. He wasn’t going. He’d talked his uncle out of sending him. Don’t— I don’t want it, Ann.” “Os course you want it. What will you say if Grand or Rosalie asks you what you’ve been crying about?” “For once—just once in my life I’ll give myself the dear delight of telling them it is none of their business.” “Cecily! I must say! You won’t make yourself any happier, dear, by being mean and making other people unhappy.” “My word, Ann, you do preach, don’t you?” “I’m sorry. It is contagious, maybe. Did you have an overdose of it at supper this evening?” “I didn’t go down. Mary-Frances set it out for them. ” “I’m hungry,” Ann said. “Let’s go down and find something.” •‘I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t think of eating. I really have a bad headache.” “Come watch me eat, then.” Ann put an arm around Cecily’s waist and pulled. ”1 wish,” Cecily said, as they went down the stairs together, “that you'd tell me how you manage that serenity of yours. I'd give almost anything for some of it. “I'm not sure that it is genuine; but there is something so sort of—clean about it.” They were in the lower hall before Ann answered: “I’m afraid you'll think I'm preachy again, honey, but I’ve thought a lot lately. I—well. I've had lots of time alone to think. And one thing I thought sort of seems to fit in with what you said about serenity being clean. “I don’t know, but I think that sorrow is something that should be
put away and left alone; that it is something that shouldn’t be taken out and fingered and soiled.” “Angel Ann!" Cecily said with affection and an amused tolerance; because, after all, what did Ann—what could Ann know about real sorrow? Arm, who confused sorrow with her best undies —who thought of it as something dainty to be wrapped in tissue paper and put away in a drawer with sachet powder. a tt m THE moon poked out from between two small sprawling clouds and blotted black shadows, industriously, into the silvery whiteness below as Earl said, “Yeah, but listen, hon. Butt’ll be out of the hospital in a week now, and he wants his car—see? “ ’Nother thing is, I got to get back to Denver and deliver that damn—pardon me—desk to the other guy and get off my bonds. See?” “Beloved,” Mary-Frances answered, “I wish you’d remember about my not saying ‘see’ all the time. I love it, of course; and I wouldn’t change a thing about you for the world, if I were the only one, but it would give people who didn’t know the depths of you and all a kind of false impression of you. That’s why I wish you’d stop. I don’t want people who—” “Sure, I know. But listin, hon. What I was getting at was, how about that classy little vaudeville act? “I’m telling you, hon, and I'm not kidding you a bit, that you’ll never have a better chance for cleaning up money, and cleaning it up easy—see? You give me your promise, a long time ago, that you’d think it over—see? Give it your consideration and all. But you wont’ do it. You won’t look at it serious, nor—” “Heart’s dearest, I have. Honest and truly I have. I’ve talked it over with my friend and everything. And I just think the same thing—that unless a girl has exceptional beauty and talent she is foolish to select the stage for a career.” That was Ermintrude’s mother talking. “Oh, yeah? Well, that’s where you’re wrong, ’ Frankie. That’s where you and me differ —see? And maybe I'm in a position to know a little more about it than you are. “If a couple has the looks and the act, they don't need hardly any talent. Besides, I told you, I got talent. And it isn’t like you couldn’t do steps nor anything. You got the rudiments down perty good; and. anyways, mostly you’d just feed me —see? “You and I in a little act that this guy in Denver would fix up for us—we’d get swell bookings, and I’ll tell you why. I can step, see? You got the looks, see? The public is sick of red-hot mammas. “They want something young and innocent; see? A little hot stuff coming from you—the contrast would go big. You got a sweet voice. Like I’ve been telling you all along, you’re the perfect ideal awn-jew-nay type. You know that, sweetness?” (To Be Continued) Some diet experts contend that our digestive systems need sixteen hours’ rest out of twenty-four, and that one good meal a day is sufficient.

TARZAN THE TERRIBLE
*“j ..... ——.
In all these last two months of effort Tarzan had found not the slightest further evidence that she he sought had entered this beautiful but forbidding land. Yet he was convinced from his former questionings among the cannibals that if she still lived, it was here that she must be sought. But this unknown, un traversed wild was of vast extent. Grim mountains blocked his path and tumbling tonents impeded his way.

At every turn the ape-man was forced to match wits and muscles with the great carnivora that he might procure sustenance. Seldom now did he go hungry, so rich was the land in game animals, fish and fruit. After days of searching he had finally succeeded in discovering a pass through the mountains. Beside a water hole, Bara, the deer, fell an easy victim to the ape-man’s cunning. It was just at dusk when he shouldered the carcass qf the deer and started downward on to the plain.
—By Ahem
At its opposite side rose lofty trees that suggested to his practiced eye a mighty jungle. He started toward this, but midway of the plain he discovered standing alone such a tree as best suited him for a night’s abode. Lightly he swung, into its branches after eating of the deer meat and soon was sound asleep, lulled by the roars of lions and lesser cats, which fell like music on The ape-man's ears.

These noises disturbed him not a bit. It was only the unusual sound, however faint to civilized man’s ears, that always brought Tarzan to quick consciousness, no matter how deep his slumber. And so it was, that when the moon was high, a sudden rush of feet across the grassy carpet in the vicinity of his tree brought him to alert and ready activity. Like all creatures of the wild, his eyes snapped open, clear and bright, and his brain instantly registered the perceptions of his senses.
