THREE KINDS of LOVE • BY KAY CLEAVER STRAHAN oTSfe

CHAFFER FORTY-SEVEN AFTER the parlor door had slid back, Cecily had clicked the lights on, and all the fat little cherubs on the ceiling, twining blue ribbons and red roses about througn soap-sudsey clouds, smirked, and Barry loosed the dark, dusty folds of curtain, and they fell again into straight lines behind Cecily and him. “Well,” she said, “last act. Curtain drops. Here we are taking our call—but there isn't any applfiUSO.’* “Don't make fun, Cecily, please.*' “In. not making fun.” “I know.” “Barry —you do understand? Leaving Ann was impossible enough before —especially after this with Mary-Frances. But now that Phil has come back —I can’t do it. “They have waited eight years. Bhe was so good today. So happy and unselfish. If Ann could manage without me and allow me to marry, then I must manage without her. It isn’t self-sacrifice. It is simply being decent. You understand?” “I am afraid I have to.” “But, perhaps," Barry said, after several silent minutes, “we are making tragedy where there isn’t any—or out of a comedy. After all, simply because things have gone wrong this once is no reason for this finality—this despair. I think it is merely the let-down for us after our fright about Mary-Fran-ces.” “Perhaps.” “Darling—let’s be sensible. We’re Just the same persons that we were this afternoon, up in the hills. We love the same way. We aren’t quitters—just because our plans didn’t work out this one evening. Are we?” “No." “What is it, dear? We’ve been frightened—horribly. Well, that’s over with. Just now w'e are both sort of unmanned with disappointment. But that will pass, too; and be over with.” “No.” “Surely It will. And then we can begin making other plans.” “No.” “Darling—You’re getting into a habit. Can’t you say, ‘Yes,’ once or twice, for a change?” “Yes. We could begin to plan and to wait. We could. But you have not lived here and watched Ann and Phil as I have for years. I v mldn’t do that to you, Barry. And I wouldn’t allow you to do it to me. “And there is your writing. I remember what you said about that today—how the uncertainty affected it.” “Perhaps I was trying to bluff you, sweet.” “No, you weren’t.” u n tt “M°, 1 wasn ’L Bu t if we were 'll engaged, I needn’t be uncertain. Let’s put romancing aside and be practically and conventionally engaged, for a short time at least, and—” “And then what?” “What do you mean, ‘And then what?’ ” “After we’ve been engaged for a short time, properly and conventionally, then what shall we do? We won’t be able to be properly and conventionally married, you know.” “Os course we shall. We’ll plan. We’ll shape circumstances instead of allowing them to shape us. Cecily, for the love of Pete—think of it! You don’t expect me to go out of that front door of yours tonight and never see you again! “You don’t expect that. You don’t want it. You can’t. I’m emerging from the fog we were both in a while ago. What was the matter with us, anyway? “We love each other like the devil and all. Just because we missed a date with a minister tonight, are we licked? We are not.” “I feel as if we were.” “We aren’t. You’re tired—bless your heart —you're tired to death. You need to go to bed, and I’m going to leave and give you a chance to sleep and rest. I'll have to buzz to Albany tomorrow. “But I’ll drive down Saturday, and we’ll have Saturday evening and Sunday together. I’ll get my plotting mind to work, and I’ll have a dozen or so on hand for your approval—plans, ways to work this thing out.” “Today you said you wouldn’t—couldn’t, I mean, wait for me.”

“My plans aren’t going to have a lot to do with waiting. Here’s one I’ve just evolved. If Ann marries—or even If she doesn't, though undoubtedly she will—why couldn’t we marry and live on here and look after the old people and MaryFrances together? “Pool finances—all that. It wouldn’t be Ideal; but Jfc would be better than a separation, better than waiting forever. Surely there’a room enough. I could keep out from under foot—at lease every one’a foot—feet, but yours. , We’d sneak away a lot ana be alone together. I could build the fires in the nvjrnings, get the wood i up— save you in all sorts of ways. Sounds to me like a pretty grand, damflne plan.” “No,” said Cecily. This great cold, draughty house for Barry in the winter time. No sun—no fresh air unless one froze while getting it. He was not strong, though he thought that he was. “The work, the thousand petty annoyances, and Barry’s uncertain —well, temperamental ways. The financial burden. Suppose she lost her Job? Dump the whole thing on Barry to keep up? "No.” B B B “ts you won’t go with me, dear; 1 if you persist in objecting to anything I may propose, it does get hopeless, doesn’t it? I won’t wait, year in and out. I can’t. But there is nothing I won’t do, aside from waiting, in order to marry you. I’ll pocket my pride; come here and live; allow you to keep on working ” “People," said Cecily, and went to stand alone near the fireplace, 'can’t be married feeling that way. You never like anything you pay too much for. You —one, I mean, of course, always feels sort of spiteful about it.” “Cecily, If you deliberately misinterpret everything I say ” Grand, looking grimmer than usual, followed by Rosalie, more fluttery than usual, came into the room. Cecily, who had put a hand on the mantel and was resting her head on it, did not trouble to lift her head; she merely rolled it to one side and looked at them. It was a relief, just the same, when midway of the room and after Grand had said, “Good evening, sir,” to Barry. Ann came out from behind Rosalie. “May I ask,” Grand went on, “why you are here at my home, at this hour, with my granddaughter, Cecily?” Barry did not do nearly so well as Phil had done. He did not filch Grand’s manner. He blushed. “We came in rather late, Mr. Fenwick. Cecily has suggested that I leave. Cecily said “Why shouldn’t Barry be here? It is my home, too.” Grand, Rosalie and Ann all began, at the same instant, to say something. Rosalie won. “Os course, dear, it is your home,” she said, “and has been for many, many happy years. A nest for our three —our little girls. “But we thought, dear, that perhaps Barry—l may call you Barry, Mayn’t I?—was hoping to persuade you to build a cosy next for two—you two—elsewhere?” “As to that,” Barry spoke right up, "I want very much to marry Cecily. I ” “You love her?” This right over again from Grand. “You can support her?” “Naturally, I love her. And she loves me. We can live, for a time, on what I am making now. I hope to do better.” Cecily took Barry’s" arm. “Come,” she said, and began to walk with him toward the door. Grand said, “Cecily, one moment, if you please.” Cecily pretended she had not heard; but, at the portieres, Barry paused, in spite of her tugging, and said, “Good night,” politely, if not cheerily, to every one. B B B AND to you, my boy,” Grand said, “good night.” Ann had almost reached the portieres, sort of sneaking away, before Grand’s voice halted her, “Ann, it is my desire that you inform Cecily that I wish to speak with her, and you, here and now.” “She is tired this evening, Grand, and—” "That I regret. I do indeed. Though I see no reason for this un-

wonted weariness since she has chosen to entertain a young gentleman until this hour.” “She is very sorry about this morning, Grand. She will tell you so in the morning, I’m sure.” “This morning is forgotten. There is, however, a certain matter which I have decided now to go into, and without further delay. “I, myself, am weary. And with cause. I may not be ble to arise in time to speak ,with you both in the morning. Also, in my experience, neither of you has much leisure in the morning. “No. Do not say tomorrow evening. I am not blaming you. I am not blaming Cecily. But I must remind you that days have elapsed in this house when I have not been granted as much as a glance at either of you. It is my desire to speak with you both. Not tomorrow. Not the next day, nor the following week. Here and now. Do not force me, Ann, to frame my request as a command." Cecily was standing alone in the hall, looking at the squares of colored glass in the panels of the closed front doors. Ann said, “Cissy, honey, I’m sorry, but I’m afraid we’ll have to go back Into the parlor. Something seems to be up. Goodness knows w r hat. Grand, is still furious, apparently. I am afraid we’re in for a bad few minutes.” “Not I. I’m going straight to bed. I’ll lock my door.” * ; Well—” Ann said. “Ann! Are you going to march back in there and put up with—with more of that?” ‘l’ll have to, for a minute. I’ll cut it as short as I can.” “Os course, then, I’ll have to come too. It isn’t right of you, Ann. It isn’t fair. You force me into things of this sort. You don’t seem to realize what I’ve been through today, I won’t . . .” Grumbling, scolding, threatening, she went with Ann into the parlor.

I.—Japan expects to buy 600,000 more bales of cotton within the next few weeks, according to a cable received today by the commerce department. During the last few months, Japan has purchased about 950,000 bales of cotton. Cotton is required for the making of munitions. The report said it was believed in Tokio commercial circles that the cost of the Japanese expeditions to Manchuria and Shanghai “is exceeding official estimates and this fact may possibly have an adverse economic influence.”

The trail over which Om-at led was suited more to mountain goats, monkeys or birds than to men. But the three that followed it were trained to ways which no ordinary man could even attempt. Through dense forests matted with vines and bushes, skirting yawning gorges, down slippery-faced rocks—lt went. Even the light touch of their bare feet loosened boulders as the three leaped, chamois-like, from one precarious foothold to another.

Dizzy and terrifying was the way that Om-at chose across the summit. Around the shoulder of a towering crag rising, perpendicular, two thousand feet above a roaring river, inch by inch the three threaded their way. At last, when they stood again on comparatively level ground, Om-at turned and looked at them both Intently, especially at Tarzan of the Apes. “You will both do," he said, “you are fit companions for Om-at, the W^z-don."

—By Ahem

“What do you mean?” asked Tarzan. “I brought you this way," replied the shaggy one, “to learn if either of you lacked the courage to follow where Om-at led. It is here our young warriors come to prove their courage. This is the Father of Mountains. Only a few of our bravest and strongest ever succeed in mastering its terrors, even among my comrades who are born and raised upon the cliff sides."

“Well.” said the ape-man, “I would not care to come this way often!" “No," replied Om-at. “But it has shortened our journey by at least a day. So much the sooner shall you look upon the valley of Jad-ben-Otho. Come!” and he led the way along the mountain’s shoulder until there lay spread below them a scene of mystery and of beauty such as Tarzan had never before gazed upon—a green valley girt by towerii.g cliffs of marble whltenesi
