TIM KINDS of LOVE BY KAY CLEAVER STRAHAN &&

BEGIN HEBE TODAY ANN and CECILY FENWICK have Tor Tear* aupported themselve*. tneir vounger t*ters. MARY-FRANCEB. and their grandparents. known as “ROSALIE" and ’‘QRAND." Because ot this financial responsibility. Ann. who Is 28. Is unable to marry PHIL ECROYD. young lawyer to whom ahe has been engaged for eight years. Cecily. 22. loves BARRY McKtEL. an engineer, but when he proposes she refuses to name their wedding date for the same reason. . , Marv-Franres. 15. and still In school, believes herself In love with EARL DE ARMOUNT vaudeville actor whom she has met without the knowledge of her sisters. He urges her to leave home and become Ms stage partner. Ann and Phil quarrel when she hears LETTY KING, who works In Phil's office building address him with endearments. Ann tries to forget Phil by going about with KENNETH SMITH, rich and attentive. Marv-Frances agrees to go away with De Arrnount. The same day Cecily quarrels with her grandfather and drives away with Barry in his car. Kenneth Smith asks Ann to marry him and she refuses. . NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FORTY-ONE THE front hall, when Ann came Into It, was chill and dim and dusty &s usual, and poked through a hock on the hall rack was the note Ann fearfully had expected. Her only thought, as she reached for it, was that it had been odd of Clssiy to put it there, where either Grand or Rosalie might have found it first, instead of pinning it to the pillow prescribed by convention. She had read the ‘‘Dear, dear girls,” and through the first lines oefore che realized that the note was not from Cissy. She had to go back and begin it over again. ‘‘Dear, dear girls: Mrs. Carmichael felt that fresh air would be beneficial for Grand’s weakened condition, so she has very kindly taken us for an outing in their car. ‘‘We are to call for Mr. Carmichael, and, according to their delightful plans, to go on and dine i with Mr. and Mrs. Day in that quaint, charming place where they j live. Guests are always welcome ; there, if notification is given in ad-1 vance. ‘‘As I write, dear Grand declares | that he feels almost himself again. • However, all things considered, I felt that for some reasons than I one, our absence from home this ,

evening would be best for us all. “Darlings, do not misunderstand your Rosalie. Our hearts are wide open to our three, as always. Only Grand’s physical strength, not his brave spirit, is being taken into consideration, “And, this for you, Cecily dear. All day we had hoped and hoped to hear from you. We were disappointed, but ’’ About there Ann stopped reading, and folded the paper carefully in her fingers and dropped it on the floor and ran, too fast, up the stairs and down the hall to Cecily’s room. Cecily was not there, nor had she been there since her hurried departure from it that morning. Ann patted the pillows and turned them over and searched the pincushion before she went to her own room. No note was to be found. She returned to Cecily’s room, and hung the limp pajamas on a hook, and made the bed, and tidied, aimlessly, and told herself over and over that Cecily would have to come home: that she could not go about, anywhere, in her old blue bathrobe and green satin mules. ts tt ts Frightened, suddenly, at the notion that the telephone might ring and she might fail to hear it, she ran downstairs and there became foolishly, all but unendurably lonesome. She had a mind, she had a good miinj to run over to the Hills for half an hour —visit with Mrs. Hill, see Mary-Frances and ask about the history examination. But suppose Cecily should come home while she was away? She could leave a note, “Cissy, I’ve run over to see Mrs. Hill.” But why should she go to see Mrs. Hill? Cissy might, and fairly, think it odd that Ann should choose today to go paying neighborhood calls. People could go into shops and buy clothes—dresses and shoes and stockings and hats—but they could not go shopping in bathrobes and slippers. Was Barry the sort who could shop In ladies’ wear departments? Who could do so? One could never tell? Cecily wouldn’t be so extravagant. Cecily had no money. Barry’s money—Cissy surely wouldn’t? One never could tell. Thinking of money: “Not so hot, talking about money. . . . I’ve wads of it, Ann, and all yours ” That had been a bad dream. Deliberately she had turned it into a dream —a funny, doggy

dream. Thinking of money— This was only June. Other girls lost Jobs and found new ones. Advertisements. Twelve years’ experince. If Cissy married? If,Cissy did not I marry? The Very-Fancy Educa- | tional Fund. Not to be touched, ,not to be touched. It went like a tune. The finest school in the country for MaryFrances. Switzerland. Pretty dresses —travel—a chance to meet the nicest sort of people. She might telephone to Mary-Frances at Ermintrude’s and ask about the history examination. The girls probably were studying. That wouldn't matter—Just for a moment. If Cissy should try to get the home number and find the line busy? She should have stayed in the office. Cissy would try to call her there until 5 o'clock. She looked at her watch. Ten minutes after 5. No use being so silly and nervous. Cissy would be coming any minute now. She had to come home. She could not go about in her Id bathrobe. It might be easier to sit,on the porch and 'watch her. She could leave the door open to hear the telephone if it should ring. So, with the door propped wide, Anna sat on the porch and tried to insist to herself that this heavy enveloping oppression was nervous nonsense, and succeeded in bringing up from the dreadful depths, where such things wait, the thought of an accident to Cecily and Barry in his car. Over a bank. Another car coming too fast. An attempted passing at a turn. Such things happened all the time. Every day such things were in the papers. People could not elope nor shop in bathrobes. Peoplo could . . . people could ... in bathrobes. It explained everything. She got to her feet and began to pace up and down the porch. She might telephone to the hospitals. ‘‘A young, lovely girl in a blue bathrobe—” No. ‘‘Have any accidents been reported? A young, lovely girl in a blue bathrobe?” No. . . . U tt tt EARL D’ARMOUNT, wearing his brown striped suit, opened the door of his car, and when MaryFrances had climbed in he slammed the door shut and said, ‘‘You little sweeties you! Cripes! I was scared to death you wouldn’t show up again.” “I promised I’d come,” said MaryFrances. “Where’s my overnight bag?” “I put it in the back along with mine. Your little bitsie bag alongside my big bag. You ain’t sorry, are you, baby?” “Sorry for what?” questioned Mary-Frances. “That your big bag—mine, I mean, and your little bitsie bag are along side by side like two buddies.” “No,” said Mary-Frances. ‘‘Say, hon, you never told your chum nor anything that we were making Mendel Springs this evening, did you?” “ ’Course I didn’t. I told her Bluemount, like you said.” “Atta little sweet baby! I hinted around the garage about Bluemount, asking the roads and so on —see? And I told my landlady that I was making Bluemount on account of a business transaction tonight. So that’s O. K.—see, if your folks should go making inquiries. But I don’t hardly think they will, do you?” “I don’t think so,” said MaryFrances. “They’re very philosophical—specially my sisters. I guess they’ll just say, ‘Well, if she’s gone, she’s gone,’ and that will be all there’ll be to it.” “Sure, that’s it. And I’m telling you, hon, you’ll never regret this day as long as you live —see? It. will be a red letter day in your life—see? One big red letter day.” Mary-Frances did not answer that. They went riding along together at forty miles an hour. “Say, hon,” Earl questioned, “you haven’t got any little worries or anything, have you?” “No,” said Mary-Frances. “What time do you think we’ll get to Mendel Springs?" “Ought to make it a little later, barring tire trouble. I got to confess the tires aren’t so good—but I ain’t buying new tires for Butt's car.” MARY-FRANCES did not answer that, either. They had gone another pile before she so much as sighed.

Earl said, ‘‘You'll have to excuse me, hon, for not being able to chat much. Anything over 25 and I give my ’tention to the road ahead. That’s my motto. See? ‘ Anything over 25 and I give my 'tention to the road ahead. All the traveling I've done I’ve never had but one slight accident—see? That was the other guy’s fault. Give your ’tention to the road ahead and you won’t have any troubles—see?” “Yes,” said Mary-Frances. ‘Do we come to a town before we come to Mendel Springs?” “Mendel Springs ain’t a town, hon. It's just kind of a big hotel —on the order of the Harvey houses on the Santa Fe. Trains stop there, and the passengers can get of! and eat, if they want; or, if it ain’t meal time, the passengers can get a drink from the mineral springs. “What a drink or two of that stuff does for a mans stumeek is a miracle. That’s what it is—see?— a miracle. That’s why we’re stopping there tonight. “We could make Topknot, easy; but my stumeek has gone back on me, here, the last two weeks and—” “I know,” said Mary-Frances, ‘you told me.” “ nothing will fix me up like some of that water. I’m going to fill up on it tonight—see? And again in the morning, and— Damn!” said Earl. A tire had blown out. Repairing it took a long time, as such things go, because it needed to be patched. The two big tires, covered and sticking away out at the back, were carried, he explained for appearances only. They were in worse condition than those now in use on the car. “ ‘Sgood thing,” he said, when at last they were' off again, “that we weren’t doing more than forty-five back there, or we /might have had trouble when that thing busted.” “I was thinking,” said MaryFrances, “that if we should come to a nice town before we get to Mendel Springs it might be a good plan to stop and have dinner there. Sort of break our trip, you know?” “Naw, hon. Bum steer. Most of the stuff they serve in these onehorse dumps would make the horse sick. Mendel Springs for us. “And you’ll thank me for it when you see what they set in front of you for one dollar, and served as swell as a dining car. Like a fellow said, last time we was there, she didn’t see how they did it for a dollar.” (To Be Continued)

Mr. Fixit Write your troubles to Mr. Fixit. He is The Times representative at the city hall and will be elad to oresent your case to the proper city officials. Write him in care of The Times signing- your full name and address. Name will not be published.

Mr. Fixit—Twice in the last year I have reported to you condition of the alley intersection of Newland avenue, between La Salle and Dearborn streets. The hole still remains and is getting worse every day. Isn’t there any way we who paid for this alley and intersection, and continue to pay enormous taxes for maintenance, can get this “tire burster” repaired? E. H. B. Mr. Fixit has referred this complaint to Street Commissioner W. H. Winship. in an effort to eet action. This department has no power to compel action. T 'Ut merely to refer complaints to the proper city department and attempt to cet conditions remedied. If the hole is not fixed within a short time, please adyise Mr. Fixit by letter and he will try other means of obtaining action.

TARZAN THE TERRIBLE

, Closer and closer came Tarzan and the pithecanthropus to the beast until, at a distance of about twenty feet, the hybrid charged. Its rush was directed toward the shaggy manlike ape who halted in his tracks with upraised bludgeon to meet the assault. Tarzan however, leaped forward and with a quickness equal to that of the swift-moving cat, threw himself headlong uponp like a football tackier.

His muscular right arm circled the beast’s neck. His left, gripped behind its left foreleg. So great was the impact that the two rolled several times upon the ground, the cat screaming and clawing to liberate itself that it might turn upon its attacker, the ape-man clinging desperately to his hold. It appeared an attack of mad, senseless ferocity unguided hr either reason or skill.

But Tarzan of the Apes rarely did anything foolishly. The muscles of his giant frame were trained from long experience to obey his cunning brain and meet every encounter no matter what the odds seemed to be against him. His long, powerful legs now looked hopelessly entangled with the hind feet of the clawing cat, yet by a miracle they escaped Its raking talons.

Tarzan knew what he was about and just at the proper moment in the midst of all the rolling and tossing, his lithe and muscled legs were exactly where they should be to carry out the ape-man’s plain of offense. So that during the very instant that the cat believed it had won the fight, it felt itself suddenly jerked upward as the ape-man sprang to his feet, holding the striped back close against his body as he arose.
