Because o( this financial responsibility, Ann. who la 2S. la unable to marry PHIL ECROYD. youne lawyer to whom she has been engseed for eight years.

He tries to persuade her to become his stage partner. Ann and Phil quarrel when she hears PETTY KINO, who works In Phil’s office building, address him with endearments. Ann tries to forget Phil by going • round with KENNETH SMITH, rich and attentive Cecllv Is disturbed when she learns BaTry has left town without telling her about it. Marv-Frances falls In an examination •nd meets De Armount. Again he urges her to become his stage partner. NOW GO ON WITH THE BTORY CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN “OUT, Earl,” breathed Mary--13 Frances, “you don’t honestly and truly think that I—that we—” “Think! Say, Ido better’n think. I know—see? You’ve heard the crack, maybe, about opportunity knocking once on the door? “Well, it’s knocking right now, and it’s knocking hard. Offering lis fame and fortune on a silver platter. Will you take it? Naw—you want to stick here and go to a lousy camp with a bunch of kid girls ” “Why, Earl De Armount! I don’t tither.” “—and Just moulder away, burying your beauty under a bushel and, like you said, misunderstood and drab and all. Well, all I got to say is, snap out of it. Snap out of it^-see? “I got to be beating It. I’ve waited around here more’n a month on your account. It’s eating Into my capital. I can’t stick around any longer—see? Snap out of it, Frankie. That’s my last word.” “Well—” demurred Mary-Frances. Earl repeated masterfully. “Snap out of it.” “I was just wondering,” said Mary-Frances, “what my family I would do when they found out I’d scone.” "Do? Say, listen now, hon. Try and be sensible. In the first place, what can they do? Nothing—absolutely nothing. And from what you tell me, I don’t know as they’d even try to do much. “And in the second place, if I start In to get you out of here and away from your family’s interference and all, I’ll do It—see? Now, listen, hon. “After supper tonight you tell your folks that you’re going over to stay all night with your chum again—see? And then you put what you’ll need in a suitcase and sneak out of the house, and I’ll meet you—well, say down about Fenwick and Spruce —see? “I’ll talk around the garage and •ay I'm going to make Bluemont tonight. Fact is, we’ll go in exactly the opposite direction—see? Throw ’em off if they did start anything. Hut they won’t. Not them. Now leave me see ” He took a road map from his pocket. * * tt “T COULD write a note,” mused 1 Mary-Frances. “No, no. Nothing like that, Frankie. Absolutely not. That’s out —see? Way I’ll work it is so they won’t even know you’re gone till ’way long tomorrow—Wednesday, sometime, and we’ll of left. Mendell Springs early in the morning and have a long head start. ‘I got to stop at Mendel Springs—kind of get myself in shape again. But after we leave there—we’ll go. That bus of Butts, leave me tell you, Is some goer. He had to have one that would go—see?—’cause—well, that was the kind of one he wanted. Well, we’ll make the Springs tonight—” “Earl,” faltered Mary-Frances, “I wouldn’t want to start tonight. Not Tuesday night.” Earl lighted his third cigaret. "All right,,’* he said. “I’m through —see? Wait till I get that damn Chink to give me the check. I'm through—see?” He made only an ugly gesture with the flat palm of his hand and twisted his features queasily. “I •hould have known better. Aw, well —what’s the diff? You’re just like •11 dames. Yellow!’* "Why, Earl De Armount! I must •av- ” “All right. Well, what have you been doing? Stringing me along. Playing me for a sucker. Keeping me hanging around here, eating Into my capital.

“I got a heart, ain’t I? I’m human, ain’t I? I been talking business today—see? Practically—see? Why? Because I didn’t want to work on your feelings nor anything. I wanted you to come into it with 3’our eyes open and allsee? "And I knew in the end you’d thank me to your dying day. Everything, for your own good—see? Well, what’s It get me. Nothing! What’s a man’s prospects and hopes and future and even his heart and everything in your life? Nothing—” “But Earl, it is. They are. I You didn’t let me finish. You just turned on me and accused, bitterly. I was only going to say that it had been a childhood dream of mine to be married on Wednesday. “I was going to say that—well, that I’d just as lief go tomorrow, Wednesday.” Earl softened. Earl melted. Earl said, “Sweetie! Honest, I’ll have to ask you to excuse me —the way I talked just now. I should of known better. Oh, you little sweeties you! You mean you’ll go, straight goods and no fooling, tomorrow?” tt tt tt MARY-FRANCES, her chin in her palm, sighed a long sigh and nodded. “As you say, there isn’t so much for me to stay here for.” “Little sweet baby! That’s what you are. Little sweet baby! But, say, listen, hon—er—there’s just one little thing maybe we’d better kind of get straight—see? “I wouldn’t want you to go into this with your eyes shut nor anything. About Wednesday—being married and all. I though I kinda explained to you, baby, how I wasn’t fixed to get married right off—not for a few months.” “I know,” said Mary-Frances. “But, after all, beloved, we’re eloping. Eloping and marrying really amount to just the same thing, I think. I’d much rather elope on Wednesday.” Earl puffed his cigaret, inhaled deeply, tipped back his head, poked out his lower lip, blew the smoke upward, and watched it float and waver and vanish into nothing. “Wednesday,” Mary-Frances reminded him, “is the best day of all.” He rubbed his cigaret into the ash tray. “Frankie,” he said, “if the day ever comes when I don’t treat ’ you right square, see straight, I hope I get mine. I mean

it. “I won’t be the man I think I am, and I hope to get mine. Now, listen, baby. I’m crazy about you—see? And you’re crazy about me. You won’t back out the last minute, will you? Do you give me your promise that you’ll meet me tomorrow and you and I will light out in the old bus?” “I—l promise," said Mary-Fran-ces. “You won’t back out, baby? Honest, you won’t back out?” “I never have broken a promise in all my life,” said Mary-Frances, “and I hardly think that I’d start in breaking them now.” tt tt u CECILY awoke Wednesday morning and shuddered a little and felt hurriedly for her formula. “You are a coward,” she said, and she actually spoke the words aloud, “and a fool. But for some reason you’ve chosen to live. No one is to blame for your continuing to live but yourself. “You’ve chosen life. Well, then, Cecily Fenwick, you have to earn your living. Get up and do it.” It was all she had, and it was a poor thing, but it was her own and it had stood her through Monday and Tuesday, and if the Christmas goose will last for a week (sliced, cold, croquettes and finally soup) no one expects it to last for a lifetime. Bhe reached under her bed and found the green satin mules. She had put them away—not for her trousseau, of course; merely to keep —but she had taken them out again and was wearing them, resolutely, to rags. In the bathroom she washed her face without looking at it, and brushed her teeth viciously as if she hated them. Taking one thing with another, of what earthly use were such objects as a face and teeth to her any longer? Back in her room she looked out of the window. On her way through the upper hall again she struggled, into the second sleeve of her bath-

robe—the dingy blue one—and got the cord tied around her waist; but the mules clop-clopped on the uncarpeted stairs, and came loose, and to keep them on at all she had to curl her bare toes firmly down into the padded satin. m m m GRAND, who at first clop-clop had paused at the front door with his hand on the knob, waited until Cecily stood beside him and tried to take thq door knob away from him before he said, “Cecily, my child, where are you going?” "I’m going out,” said Cecily. “Barry’s here. He saw me. Oh, please get out of my way!” Grand said gently, “Cecily, dear. Look at yourself.” Cecily looked cursorily. It was a horrid old ugly thing, and it should have been washed again, ages ago. “Grand, please get out of my way.” "No granddaughter of mine,” said Grand, “shall ” “Grand! I won’t have this. Barry saw me. He’ll not understand why I don’t come. He may leave ” “ goes to meet a young gentleman garbed in a costume in which no lady would leave her bedroom." “I’m fully clothed. Get away from that door. He saw me, I tell you. He’ll drive off. He'll think I’m not coming.” “Nor does she go, in any dress, to meet a man who has no better taste, no more regard for her reputation and the reputation of her family, than to arrive before the breakfast hour and sit in a car in front of her home. Cecily, return to your room. I shall question this young man. I shall deal with him as he —” Cecily did not really push him. She took hold of his shoulders and sort of revolved him away from the door, and shoved a little—only a trifle—so that she could have room to open the door and go through it. The mules were clop-clopping down the porch steps. Ann was leaning over the upstairs railing before Grand thought of fallingsinking would be a more pertinent word —with one groan and two pitiful moans to the floor. (To Be Continued) COOUDGE^DEFENDS U. S. BANK SYSTEM Ex-President Attacks Money Hoard* ing in Article in Magazine. By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—Calvin Coolidge defends the national banking system, and attacks hoarding of money in a discussion of the economic issues which have arisen from the depression in today’s issue of the American magazine. “Our national banking system is as sound as generations of experience have been able to make it,” he said. “The nature of investments is regulated by law, and most banks are supervised carefully, rigidly controlled and frequently examined by government agents. “While absolute safety has been impossible to secure, it is probable that the records of money deposited in properly regulated banks in this country would show, over a series of years that it has been in the safest place to keep funds.” The former President said, “banks are an absolute necessity for the transaction of business. If it were possible to conceive of all of them being closed, starvation would face most of us inside of ten days. They exist to facilitate the process of exchange, which is the basis of all business. They are one of the main sources of credit, on which our economic welfare largely depends.”

RZAN THE TERRIBLE

TA

Benetth a great tree whose branches overhung a tumbling brook, Tarzan and his strange companion halted for the first time during their forest journey. Tarzan was surprised to find that the wound made by Numa’s claws was healing nicely and no longer pained him, thanks to the antiseptic powder the man-thing had sprinkled upon it. They drank from the delicious!:/ cool water, fresh from its icy descent down the lofty mountains and Tarzan filled his great chest with deep breaths of flower-scented air.

Casting aside his cloth and weapons, Tarzan entered the little pool, swimming, diving and splashing about with the joyousness of a boy. He emerged greatly refreshed and with a keen desire for breakfast. He noticed that his companion was examining him with a puzzled expression on his face. Taking the ape-man by the shoulder he turned him around. Pointing at the end of Tamm’s spine, he curled his own tail up over his shoulder.

—By Ahem

Then he wheeled Tarzan about again, pointing first at the ape-man and then at his own cadual appendage. Meanwhile he jabbered excitedly in his own tongue, the puzzled look still wrinkling his brow. Tarzan realized that probably for the first time his companion had discovered that Tarzan was tail-less by nature rather than by .accident. So he called attention to his own great toes and thumbs to impress upon the creature that they were of different species.

The fellow shook his head dubiously as though entirely unable to comprehend why Tarzan should differ so from him. Then with a shrug he gave the problem up, laid aside his own weapons and jeweled ornaments and himself dove into the pool. After bathing he redonned his scant apparel, seated himself at the tree’s base and opening the little pouch belted to his side, motioned Tarzan to sit beside him.
