Next tnorntng CecUv sees Barrv outside the house In hts cal and against her grandfather s command tushes out to meet him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY chapter thirty-eight Barry came to meet her, but this morning he did not ask whether he looked pretty, and that was fortunate, because he looked lrightful. He looked white, and unpressed, and unshaven, and tired, and cross. He did not take her hands. He hung his own at his sides, as if they were pounds too heavy to lift, and they pulled his shoulders down and forward. He said, "I’ve bee driving all night., trying to get away from vou." She said, "Grand is coming. He’ll make a .scene. Lets go—anywhere.- ’ As she stepped into the car one nl the mules dropped off. Barry looped to pick it up, and she said. Hurry." a a a WHAT made Grand so hopping mad was that he could not recall a single speech of Lear’s. To have been a lover, nay, more than a mere lover, a student, a disciple of the Immortal Bard’s for a lifetime, and then in a crisis to have it all come to naught, was hard, very, very hard. True, the blow, blow, thou winter wind, was ready to hand; but in his opinion the Heighho! section, directly counter to his own philosophy, all but ruined the song. Nor had he been able, ever, to give his entire approval to Rosalind. So he had to be content with moaning, again, to Ann. "She struck me down. Our little Cecily turned and struck me down,’ and let it go at that. Ann knew better; but .since she had not seen anything except Cecily ninning out of doors in her bathrobe, all she could say was, “But, Grand dear, she didn't mean to,” and leave him moaning on the horse-hair sofa in the parlor while she went to telephone for the neighborhood doctor. Grand had been positive that he could not live until Dr. Elm could come from across the river. Mary-Frances, two big frightened eyes beside the telephone, whimpered as Ann hung up the receiver. Ann, did Grand say she could never darken his door again? Did he, Ann?” “Silly!” said Ann. "Os course not. Run on and see what you can do about breakfast. That’s sister’s baby. Everything will be all right.” Young Dr. Selberg and his bedside manner arrived together. After a dignified and deliberate examination he reluctantly gave out the news that, though Mr. Fenwick was suffering from shock, he seemed to have sustained no fractures, abrasions, concussions, contusions, or lesions. It was so formidable a list that the negative did not help much. Rosalie continued rocking and weeping; and Mary-Frances. poking about the kitchen after eavesdropping at Grand’s door, asked in a choked voice, w'hen Ann came, "Will he die?” And, reassured. “Will Cissy ever dare come home again? ' a a a OF course, dear. Cissy didn't mean to hurt him. She wouldn’t have hurt him for the world—and he isn't hurt a lot. Except his feelings. “She’ll be home before long, and tell him she didn’t mean to, and that she’s sorry, and everything will be all right. Dont’ worry any more about it. Your history examination is today, isn’t it?” “History . . .?” said Mary-Frances vaguely. Not since yesterday aft-

' emoon had she considered any his- ! tory other than that which she and Earl were going to make together. Ovations . . . For the first time that morning Ann thought, “Cissy shouldn’t have.” To Mary-Frances she said: 1 “Honey, all families have little fusses sometimes, and the only thing to do is forget all about them. “Cissy will come home and be sorry, and by this time tomorrow everything will be as it always has been. Run along, now, if you've eaten your breakfast, and look over your notebooks. “Your history examination is a thousand times more important I than this little affair.” “Would it be all right, then,” asked Mary-Frances, “for me to go to Ermintrude's for dinner thus evening and stay all night?” “Surely, dear. That will be fine. And you and Ermintrude can study together for your English examination tomorrow.” Mrs. Hill would see to It that they studied, durding examination week. If Cissy shouldn’t come home until afternoon, and if there should be another scene—perhaps at dinner — Mary-Frances would know nothing about it. Mary-Frances hesitated, hung around. “I guess I’ll kiss you goodby, Ann angel.” “Sister’s baby,” said Ann, and hugged her. “Don't you worry any more now, will you, precious?” “No,” said Mary-Frances, and snuggled. T love you, Ann. I love you and Cissy and Grand and Rosalie. I love you all. Ann.” “Os course,” said Ann, trying to make it light and matter-of-fact at the same time. “Everybody loves everybody around here. Run along now, dear, and get to your studying.’’ ana MARY-FRANCES went as far as the door. “You’ll remember that, won’t you, Ann angel? If—anything should happen, or anything, I mean. And you’ll love me. too?” Ann repressed a sigh, refused to allow herself to shake her head. “Os course, Mary Frances. But don’t be silly. What could happen?” “Like,” said Mary-Frances, “well —like if I should flunk in my exams or anything.” “You aren’t going to flunk.” “I mean—if I should.” She came back to Ann. “I’ll kiss you good-by again, I guess. Will you and Cissy love me if I flunk?” “Dear, listen to me. You are talking very foolishly. You aren’t going to fail in your examinations. But, if you should, that wouldn’t make any difference in our love for you. “We’d be sorry and very much disappointed, but we’d love you just the same. Nothing you could do would make any difference in our love for you. “But you must try hard, so that we can be proud of you as well as love you. You will won’t you?” “I expect,” sighed Mary-Frances “that you’ll all be proud of me some time. Oh, yes—l expect you’ll be proud, all right, if that’s what you want to be.” “That’s the way to talk, honey,’ Ann approved. But she returned to the dishpan with some small worries concerning Mary-Frances. Os late she was so—odd. The little Hill girl seemed like a nice little girl, and Mr. and Mrs. Hill were fine sensible people—only, Mary-Frances had : ever used to be so odd. Perhaps, during the summer, she and Cecily could encourage some new friendships for Mary-Frances. Rosalie tiptoed into the kitchen. “He has forgiven her,” she said “He had forgiven her fully and freely and from his heart. It was his desire that I should come and tell you.” “That’s good,” said Ann briskly; far too briskly. “Ann,” breathed Rosalie, as Mary-Frances might have breathed it, “isn’t he wonderful?” “Inded he is,” said Ann promptly dutifully. “I was thinking, just now, as I sat beside him in his pain. We have been married almost fifty years. In all that time I have never found fault nor flaw. “He has always been upright, honest, generous, tender, loving, forgiving, just. I could go on and on. “There is no—um—attribute that

has to do with goodness that your Grand does not possess. My one wish for you dear girls is that when you marry—and you will marry of course, and soon, I hope—you may find a man who is half as good as your Grand. You'll never And a man as good, because he is the best man that ever lived.” “And that,” Ann thought, a little awed in spite of herself, “is love. Rosalie believes every -word she has said. “Could I ever love any one like that? Could Cissy? We couldn’t. Why, I wonder? Why should Cissy and I have to be so different—so disillusioned? Is there something wrong with us? Or is love a game of solitaire, in which one has to cheat to win?” a a a “ A PPLE SAUCE!” said Kenny TV Smith that afternoon, in Ann's quiet office. “Solitaire? My aunt's eye! Be yourself, Ann. 11l tell you what it is, it’s poker. Yeah, power,” he finished firmly. “Poker,” Ann reminded him, “is a man's game. T ’ Women can play,” he grinned, but most of ’em aren’t so hot at it. They 'overbet their hands. They cheer when they get a good hand and holler when they get a bum one. ‘They can’t bluff —much. They can’t remenjber that four aces beat a full house. They’ll discard a pair and draw to a flush every time, and they’ll bet a four flush as high as a good one. They throw away their openers. They hate to ante. “That’s the trouble with you, Ann. You won’t ante. You have to get in the game before you can draw cards. You won’t get in the game. You won’t play. Now, listen, Ann . . Ann did not listen very attentively. She seldom listened to Kenny. She merely allowed him to rattle along and along, and so found a panacea for loneliness. It was after 3 o’clock. She was beginning to worry seriously about Cecily. All day she had been expecting a telephone call from her, but none had come. Surely the child wouldn’t go home and dress without calling her. Surely the child wouldn’t stay out all day in her bathrobe and slippers. Surely the child “That’s all I want, Ann. I wouldn’t ask for a thing on earth but to be good to you and make you happy. I want to buy things for you—houses and cars and diamonds and things. “I want to take you places and watch my wife knock ’em dead. I want to see you wearing black velvet and diamonds, and white satin and pearls.” (To Be Continued) Pay Days to Stop By United Press CLINTON, Ind., Jan. 21.—Teachers in Clinton city schools are facing a delay in payment of their salaries for the months of April and May, according to L. E. Michael, superintendent. Bulletins signed by the superintendent say the school treasury contains sufficient funds for the February and March pay rolls, but that teachers probably will be forced to wait until June or July for another pay day.

TARZAN THE TERRIBLE

From the pouch the man-thing took strips of dried meat and a handful of thin-shelled nuts which he offered Tarzan. As they ate, the pithecanthropus pointed to the nuts, fesh and nearby objects, meanwhile repeating what Tarzan thought must be the names of these articles in the creature’s native language. The ape-man could but smile at his new-found companion’s evident desire to instruct him so that t|tey could make themselves understood to each other.

Having already mastered several languages and a multitude of dialects, the ape-man felt that he could readily learn another even though this one appeared entirely unrelated to any with which he was familiar. So occupied were the two with the lesson and their breakfast that neither was aware of the beady eyes glittering down upon them from above. Even Tarzan was caught off-guard as a huge, hairy f body leaped full upon his companion from the overhanging boughs.

Springing to his feet, Tarzan saw the thing was a creature like his tailed companion, except that its body was entirely clothed with shaggy, black hair. It Rlmost concealed the fellow’s features. Before the ape-man could prevent, the creature struck Tarzan’s companion a blow with its knotted clnb and the manthing dropped to earth. Before the newcomer could inflict further injury on its defenseless prey, Tarzftn of the Apes had closed with him.

Instantly Tarzan realized that he was locked with a creature of superhuman strength. The sinewy fingers of a powerful hand sought the ape-man’s throat while the other hand lifted the bludgeon above his head. But if the strength of the hairy attacker was great, great too, was that of his smooth-skinned antagonist! Tarzan swung a single, terrific blow with elenchfi fist to the other’s chin, which, for a moment, staggered his assailant.
