THREE KINDS of LOVE • BY KAY CLEAVER STRAHAN od
CHAPTER FORTY-SIX THE front door closed and Cecily and Barry were standing In the lower hall. Ann called from midway of the stairs, "She's here! Bhc’s all right, Cissy! She's sound asleep. She's all right!" Cecily’s hands were cold in Ann’s • warm ones. Her voice, when presently it emerged from the jabbering sounds which she and Ann had been making together, was chilly. "That's all very well, Ann. But she can't be so entirely all right as *ll that. I mean—such an experience for child! She must be biter, disillusioned.” Ann laughed, the heartless thing. *'Bhc insists that she is bitter, very • bitter. As for the disillusionment— I sincerely hope so, for a few years at least.” Cecily refused to smile. Ann glanced at Barry. He would not smile, either. He kept rolling and Unrolling the do-dad on Cecily’s dress. Ann wished he wouldn’t. He’d wrinkle it. "Your own plans?” she asked. “You’ve had to postpone , them?” "Indefinitely,” Cecily said, and emiled at last. She had to smile. A word of that sort could not be said nakedly, with no covering of any kind. "No, dear,” Ann said, and , turned to go upstairs again. ‘ You’ll feel differently,” she encouraged, "tomorrow, when you’re ■rested, and after you’ve talked to your youngest sister.” “I’ll talk to her!” Cecily threatened. “You won’t scold her,” Ann warned with her hand on the .newel post. Barry mentioned, "Phil's on the front porch. We forgot to tell you.” "Goodness! I thought he left lages ago, when Mary-Frances 'came.” Barry put an arm around Ccily’s shoulders. They turned together and walked toward the parlor. Barry tried to slide the door open, but it stuck after the first three inches, as it always stuck. Cecily said, "Here,” and took hold of it, and raised it a bit, and it slid easily. The dark dusty velvet portieres dropped into straight folds again behind them. Ann went to the front porch. MUM •"VrOU mean,” Phil asked, aghast, X incredulous, “that you don’t love me at all, any longer?” Ann sighed. "Phil,” she rebuked, "you don’t seem to listen. I’ve told you twice, now, that it is only that I can’t start it all over again. The waiting, and the hoping, and quarreling and the fault-finding, and the—” "Oh, but, no, Ann! No.” "But, yes, Phil. This past month I’ve been unhappy—goodness knows I have! But, someway, I’ve dragged something out of it, and I’m going to keep it—something that almost approaches peace. "Suppose we were to begin again? After a while, but it wouldn’t last eight years this time, you’d grow tired and hopeless, and all this-—or something very much like it—would happen right over again.” “Ann, dearest, I swear to you—it has meant nothing to me. Nothing but misery. I’ve been a thousand times more wretched than you could have been.” "No, I think not. That doesn't matter, though—our comparative wretchedness, I mean.” “Could you tell me, dearest, exactly what It is that matters—if your love doesn’t matter, and our . misery doesn't matter?" "I can’t tell what is important for you. For me—my peace of mind, and something I might call dignity, or-nstrength, perhaps. And that I shan’t, again, have to live through that Sunday and this month.” "It means, only, that you haven’t forgiven me.” • “Oh, Phil! Forgiving is such a little thing, It scarcely seems worth i talking about in connection with ‘ loving." "As you like, Ann. But it comes to the same place. You don’t love me any more at all." "That isn’t true.” said Ann. "But

I’m tired of arguing. I’m tired of quarreling and waiting and hoping. It seems to me that wise people, when they discover that they can’t have what they most desire, make other desires, build their lives around possibilities.” "Shatter true ideals and make false ones?” “N ;t true. Just different.” "Ann, Is there someone else? Have you come to care for another man—in a month?” "No, no. Os course not.” "Ann, dearest, I want to ask you one question. If all the obstacles to our marriage were removed, would you marry me tomorrow?” “Yes, If I could marry you tomorrow. Please don’t, Phil!” "You don't care for my kisses any more? You dislike them?” * u * "T LIKE them too well. The ob--1 stacles aren’t removed—they are getting bigger all the time, and there are more of them. "It seems to me mat all this—kissing and being ectatlc for moments, or even hours together, when nothing can come of it but another mean, miserable quarrel and an* other end. Isn’t so very different from forming any other bad habit.” "Ann, that is a horrible thing to say! You’ve changed. You never used to talk like that.” "Os course I’ve changed. But the other is true. It is just like a person who keeps on drinking, when he knows that drinking will kill him in the end. "I've heard that the cures for the drink habit are terrible. Well, I’ve taken the cure, Phil, and I’m not going to take it again. I'm through, dear. Not because I wish to be through, but because I have to be.” "I won’t allow you to be. We both made a mistake, Ann. But I’ll take all the blame.” "Neither of us was to blame. And neither of us would be to blame the next time.” An automobile, two round bright lights cutting the darkness, was coming up the driveway. Ann thought, “It’s Grand and Rosalie. I’d forgotten all about them for hours. How pleasant—that I should have forgotten all about them for hours. But—l should have worried. But—here they are, now!” “Phil,” she said. "Grand and Rosalie are coming home with the Carmichaels. I don’t want them to find you here. It—it would start so many things over again. "They’ve been difficult lately. Won't you please go down into the trees—quickly? Until after they’ve gone into the house, I mean?” "I am not hiding behind trees tonight, Ann.” Grand’s voice and Rosalie’s voice. "Goodnight. Thank you again for a beautiful day. Goodnight, Mr. Carmichael—goodnight . . “But to help me, Phil? They’ve been so difficult. Just —to help me?” Phil sat Immovable until he stood because Rosalie, with Grand's arm about her or, at least, halfway about her—came up the steps. Grand said, “Ah, Ann? Is that Phiiip? Ah, Philip. I trust, Ann, that you have not been needlessly worried.” "Well,” Ann replied shamefully, wickedly, "of course, it is late. After midnight.” Rosalie began, "The Carmichaels’ clack had stopped, and—” But Grand said, "I beg your pardon, my dear,” and turned to Phil. "As my granddaughter says, the hour is late. Very late. May I ask sir, why you are here at my home, at this late hour, with Ann?” n n tt ”T AM here, Mr. Fenwick,” Phil X answered, right in Grand’s strain, "for the sarfte reason that I have been coming here for years. Because I love Ann and wish to marry her.” “Ah? You wish, again, to marry Ann?” "I have never ceased wishing to marry her.” “You love her? You could support her?” "I love her very much. 1 could support her, yes.” Ann inserted. "But, Grand—” "One moment, if you please, Ann. , Do you or do you not love Philip?” Ann thought, "Dear heavens
above! Does Grand think he is performing a marriage ceremony? This is worse than anything he’s ever done. This is the sort of thing that can’t be endured. It is Phil’s fault. He should have gone when I asked him to.” "Will you please answer my question, Ann?” Still, she couldn’t stand there and say she did not love Phil. It would be a lie, and it would be letting Phil down in public. “Os course I love Phil,” she said. "But—” "But me no buts,” said Grand. He evidently was in a mean humor. No wonder Cecily pushed him over this morning though she hadn’t. What would he do when she went into the house and found Cecily and Barry in the parlor? He was cross with Cissy, anyway. "And to you, Phillip,” Grand went on, "recalling again the lateness of the hour, goodnight.” "Goodnight,” said Phil, and bowed a neat bow. Grand and Rosalie crossed the porch to the door. “Sir,” said Grand. "I have bidden you goodnight,” and stopped and' waited. Ann murmured, “You’ll have to go. I must go in and help Cissy. Goodnight, Phil. Goodby.” "No,” said Phil. "Ann, are you coming?” "Yes, Grand. Goodby, Phil.” "No.” "Yes,” said Ann. “Goodby,” and thought, ‘it is silly to say it three times,” and went with the old people into the house. • (To Be Continued) VETERAN PENNSYLVANIA CLERK TO BE RETIRED W.

TARZAN THE TERRIBLE
“If even but once more I look upon the wails of the city that holds O-10-a— loveliest of shes, I should be happy,” said the hairless pithecanthropus as he ended his story. “Therefore do I risk all dangers.” “The risk is very great, then?” asked Tarzan. “Gieater than ever you can imagine," replied the other, “but not too great for me, Ta-den, the Lion-mans son: I shall go.”

“And I shall go with you, if you will lead the way,” suddenly decided Tarzan, "for I must see your A-lur, City of Light. Perhaps there, is also the one I search for, even though you doubt it. And YOU, Om-at, do you come with us?” “Why not?” answered the hairy one. “The lairs of my tribe lie in the crags above A-lur. 1, too, was driven out from my people. I, too, know a she who I should be glad to look upon once more, and who would be glad to look upon me.”

“Yes, I will go with you,” said he who was called Om-at, “Es-sat, our chief, feared that I might become chief, and who knows but that Es-sat was right. But Pan-at-lee! It is she I seek first even before a chieftainship. “We three, then, shall travel together," said Tarzan. “And fight together,” added Ta-den, “the three as one,” and as he spoke he drew his knife and held it above his head.

“The three as one,” repeated Om-at, drawing his weapon and duplicating Ta-den’s act. “It is spoken!” “The three as one!” cried Tarzan of the Apes. “To the death!” and his blade flashed to the sunlight. “Let us go then,” said Om-at, “my knife is dry and cries aloud for the blood of Es-sat.” With this oath of win or fall together, following Ta-den's lead, the ape-man bounded lightly down the trail
