CHAPTER FORTY-THREE MRS. HILL was sitting in a wicker chair on the front porch reading the evening paper. Ermintrude was on the teps with n book in her lap. Mr. Hill and Uncle Chaney were in the yard bending over the lawn mower, which ■was turned upside down between them. The four persons, and the green lawn, and the white house, and the pink rose hedge composed neatly into an attractive picture of suburban home life. Nothing seemed lacking. Mrs. Hill looked over the edge of her paper, and smiled and stood, and held out her hand, and said, “Good evening. Miss Fenwick. I’m so glad to see you. Take this chair, won’t you? Honey, bring out another chair for mother.” “No, thank you,” Ann said. “I can't stay. I’m in a hurry, rather. I came for Mary-Frances. ’ “Mary-Frances?” Mrs Hill questioned, more as if she had never heard of the name before than as if Ann had said she had come for Bonnie Prince Charlie. "Yes, I want her to come home with me.” “But, Miss Fenwick, Mary-Frances Isn't here. She hasn't been here since this afternoon.” "Oh,” said Ann flatly, not as an exclamation. “But—she said she was coming here. She brought Cecily's bag. She —she must, be here. I mean—but. then, where in the world is she?” ’’Why, I don't know, I'm sure. We asked her to stay for dinner, and she said she couldn’t.. That your grandfather was ill and that she was needed at home.’’ ‘‘Well. But—she’s too big to get lost. Ermintrude, do you know where Mary-Frances is?” tt u u ERMINTRUDE slumped; her neck disappeared as her stomach collapsed. She seemed at the same time to be squirming away from herself and to be dwindling, wriggling, as it were, down into herself. “Stop acting like that, Ermintrule,” Mrs. Hill said, “and answer at once. Do you know where MaryFrances is?” Ermintrude muttered. Ann leaned close. “She says," she construed for Mrs. Hill, “that, in a way, she does.” “That’s enough of that, now, Ermintrude. You will please answer at once. Where is Mary-Franccs?” Ermintrude moistened her lips. She swallowed. “I—well, I guess I couldn’t help it, could I? She sloped.” “Sloped? Sloped?” said Ann, hunting a place for it. seeking a definition, pushing her fingers through her hair. "E-loped,” pronounced Ermintrude distinctly. “E-loped off with a man.” Ann took Ermintrude by the shoulders and shook her, not hard, hut bark and forth. “No, no, no, rtn. She couldn't. She’s a baby. She couldn’t. Why do you say such a thing? No, no-—” Mrs. Hill went down the steps and put an arm around Ann,” don’t dear,” she said. “Joe,” she called, across tl.e lawn. “Joe—come here. Joe. Come. Come quickly—Joe.” Joe came bounding. He expected to put out the fire, to grab the murderer and robber, and to rescue his wife and his daughter. In seventeen years of married life only once before had he heard Trudie's voice go Insane. n tt m ON her way home, in Mr. Hill’s car, Ann listened to him tell-

ing her again that If Mary-Fran-ces and that dirty cur were at Bluemount there would be no damage done as long as they managed to keep it out of the papers. If her sister Cecily and her friend found the child at Bluemount, he did hope they would follow his advice and simply bring her home and let the man go. It would be the only way to avoid publicity, and publicity must be avoided. She said, “Yes, Mr. Hill, Barry and Cecily thought so, too.” and listened to what Ermintrude had said a few minutes before. “No, they weren’t going to get married for a while. He couldn't, on account of his father’s will. I don’t know. Several months she said. They were just going on their honeymoon and then on the stage. I guess it will be all right. MaryFrances really loved him, mother. She really loved him, deeply and truly. “Be still with that, Ermintrude, will you? Answer daddy, now. Is that all you know about where they were going? Positively everything? Stop crying and answer me. Bluemount tonight? You are sure of that?” Cecily’s voice, stricken, over the telephone. “Barry’s just come. We’ll start at once. Three hours’ head start. Dear Lord, Ann!” For an instant, Barry’s voice. “We’ll find them, Ann. Don’t worry. We’ll tear the place down, if necessary. Mr. Hill is right about keeping it quiet, though.” ■ “But suppose," Ann said, again, to Mr. Hill, “that they didn’t go to Bluemount. Suppose he said that just to mislead us?” “In that case, I suppose we’ll have to go to the police. Gosh knows what good they’ll do. Perhaps I’ll be able to think of someone who has influence enough to keep it out of the papers, if we do have to go to the police.” “Really, I—l don’t care about the papers. Neither * did Cissy, until Barry thought we should. I—l’d much rather call in the police righi away.”

!"lVf ISS FENWICK - %e have to ; IVJI care. What can the police do, now? Watch the highways—but they left at 4, and we aren't positive as to the direction. “I’ll find his garage and discover what make of car he was driving. I’ll go to his rooming house—l may be able to pick up some information there, and around the theater. “If he’s half as big a fool as he looked, he has probably told where he was bound . for, eventually. Uncle Chaney seemed to think that the desk in Denver might be a lead. He may get trace of them at the service stations on that highway.” ; “Then—you don’t believe they ! will be at Bluemount?” “I hope so with all my heart. But remember this, Miss Fenwick, sooner or later we’ll find her. I’m not a rich man, but every cent I can rake and scrape will go into this—if it needs to. “Yes, yes, indeed, I am responsible. I am deeply responsible. Trudie and I reared Ermintrude—” “No, Mr. Hill. For that matter, so have we reared Mary-Frances.” “You are nothing but girls yourselves—busy girls away from home all day. And your grandparents are—well, that is to say, they are very old.” tt n n HE stopped the car on the driveway in front of the door and said, as Ann stepped ou 4 - of it, “I’ll telephone to you the mmute I hear anything at all. Uncle Chaney will phone if he hears anything. Don’t break down now. Don’t give up hope.” “I wish,” said Ann, “that there were something I could do—anything, besides just waiting for telephone calls. Something. Anything.” "Pray. Pray hard. And if you have any friends you can trust, absolutely, to keep their mouths shut now and always, phone them and have them go scouting about on the highways as Uncle Chaney is doing. If they stopped for gas—something to eat—anything, we may get a line. The sooner we can get it, the better. I’ll find out about his car the first thing and let you know. “Then you can tell your friends that much, at least, along with the description of the dirty cur and Mary-Frances. A brown striped suit, remember. A blue coat, and a blue dress with smocking.” “Yes. A blue dress. I did the smocking.”

Ann went into the house and into the dining room and sat down in a chair, which she had put directly under the telephone, and rubbed her, right fist into the damp palm of her left hand, and waited. tt n m THE telephone bell. “Miss Fenwick? This is Joe Hill speaking. The car is a 1928 sports model Thrysler, repainted yellow with green trimmings. No news as yet, I suppose?” • “A 1928 sports model Thrysler, repainted yellow with green trimmings. No, not a word. Not a word from any one.” “Too soon yet to hear, you know. Keep up heart. 11l call you again, later. I’m going to see his landlady now, and to the theater ” Ann dialed a number and asked for Philip Ecroyd. Just a moment, please, Mr. Ccroyd did not answer. What was the number again? Walnut 5845. Yes, it would be given to Mr. Ecroyd when he came in. Ann dialed another number. Kenneth Smith was not at home. Yes, ma’am, she’d give him the number as soon as he came in. He was pretty late as a rule. Yes, ma’am. Walnut 5845, was it? Ann waited. The telephone bell. “Miss Fenwick? This is Ermintrude’s mother. I don’t want to keep your line busy for more than a moment, but Ermintrude says that he has been begging Mary-Frances to go with him for a month now; and that once he promised to treat her like a ‘pal’”—Mrs. Hill seemed to spit at the word as she pronounced it—“and, another time, like a brother.” “Oh,” said Ann. ‘Once.” ‘Yes, I know,” said Mrs. Hill. “But—dear—well, remember, we’re right with you. We’ll do everything, everything in our power. Dear, I can’t tell you how sorry— But we’ll find her. We will, now. Good-by.” Ann waited. The telephone bell. “Walnut 5845? Oh, Miss Fenwick. This is Hostetter speaking. Chaney Hostetter. Has Joe phoned in yet about the car, what make it was?” “A 1928 sports model Thrysler, repainted yellow with green trimmings.” “Great! Fine! That oughta be easy. Keep up your spirits, little lady. Everything will turn out for the best. Good-by.” Ann waited. The telephone bell. “Hello, is Dr. Lupolde in?” “You have the wrong number.” “Well, what number is this?” ’Walnut 5845. ‘Oh, for pity’s sakes!” Ann waited. The telephone bell. “Hello. Miss Fenwick. This is Joe Hill again. I’ve caught his landlady at last—she’s been out for a walk. “She says he did have a desk in his room, and that she heard him say he had to return it to Denver. It was in his room yesterday and gone away. So Denver does seem to be one lead.” “But, Mr. Hill. Bluemont is south. If they were going to Denver, then— then Bluemount is hopeless.” (To Be Continued)

Presently the two tailed creatures advanced until they met, whereupon they repeated the brief ceremony that had previously marked the ending of hostilities between each of them and Tarzan. Then they approached the ape-man. addressing him earnestly as though trying to tell him something very important. But soon giving this method up as time wasted, they resorted to the sign language. Then did Tarzan understand that they were going away together and were ifrging him to go with them.

As the direction they indicated was a route which Tarzan had not previously traversed he was most willing to accompany them. He had determined to thoroughly explore this unknown land before giving up hope that somewhere in it still lived, though a captive, the woman he adored. Several days thereafter, their way led them through the foothills of the lofty mountains towering above them. Then they came to a large, natural cave in a low cliff, with a tumbling brook beneath it.

There they took up their temporary abode. Meanwhile Tarzan’s instructions in the language of his companions progressed rapidly. The cave was a sort of primitive hotel. Others who had stopped there had scratched hieroglyphics upon the sooty wails and ceiling Some of these recent ones his companions read with interest, and commented upon. Then they, with their knife points, added to the age-old record of the blackened walls with its outline of birds, beasts anc reptiles.

Tarzan’s curiosity was aroused though he could make little out of the wall writings. But > it showed him the development of these strange creatures with whom Fate had thrown him. Here were men with monkey-like tails, one man was as hair-covered as any fur-bearing animal of the lower orders. Yet-the creatures had not only a spoken but a written language. Tarzan was keener than ever to learn the secret civilisation of these curious man-things possessing so inany attributes of beasts
