THREE KINDS of LOVE • BY KAY CLEAVER 1 STRAHAN P £&

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT ROSALIE occasionally inserted an explanatory phrase; Ann interrupted once or twice; Cecily asked several questions; but, on the whole, the three women sat quietly and listened while Orand fcept right at it, standing on the hearth rug andn talking on and on and on. And even after he had imprinted a kiss on Ann’s brow, and another on the top of Cecily’s head (she had ducked), and had quivered his voice into the words, "God bless you, my darlings, God bless you,” and had gone from the room with Rosalie, who was trying to weep, Ann and Cecily continued sitting still and saying nothing. Finally Ann said, "Well.” It had the effect of having been dropped from a height to a hard place, though it landed in fair order. Cecily asked, "Do you feel as foolish as I feel?” "Pushed out of the nest,” said Ann. They smiled together then, but not happily; fearfully, rather, and shameiacedly. "No, but really,”- Cecily said, •'what do you think, Ann?” "Nothing. I’m stunned. I’m flat. What do you think?” "I’m afraid to stir off of this sofa. I wouldn’t pinch myself for a dollar.” "He had the receipt. You made him show it to you. Ciss, you were dreadful.” "Yes, and you said, ‘Let me see it.’ before I even had it in my hand.” She looked at her watch. “It's 1:15,” she announced, as good news, and added, "Barry left at 12:30.” "I couldn’t sleep," Ann said. "Cissy, let’s see if we can’t find a few words and put them together and talk.” "It would be fun,” Cecily suggested, "to telephone to the boys. They’ve had time to get home.” "So late?" said Ann. "Fun!” said Cecily. "But what could we say?” Ann mused. “1 mean—what could we say over the telephone? Where could we begin?” "I’m not going to say much of anything,” Cecily dared to get off the sofa, though she did not pinch herself. "I’m going to be sort of mysterious—a leaf from Rosalie’s book. I'm feeling too silly for sense. Barry will loathe it. Oh, fun! But I'll tell him to come on Saturday ” "Yes,” said Ann, and stood. "I think I’ll just tell Phil ” Cecily had gone. a a tt ANN looked timidly across the room to the exact spot on the hearth rug where Grand had stood, his hands clasped over the fourth button on his vest, his round, white head moving gently with his words, his head nodding his periods. He had said, unmistakably, while Cissy there on the horsehair sofa pouted and looked sullen, that the dearest desire of his life and of Rosalie’s life had ever been to see their darlings married to good, worthy men who loved them, and whom they loved in return. So much was true and easy to believe. But—going on from there? Rosalie had said that it was pleasanter that an expensive hotel. That it combined the qualities of the best hotels and the best private homes, and was neither. That it was beau-, tifully furnished, with a guaranteed temperature of 72 degrees throughout the winter, and a charming, quaint dining room with wee tables for two, and larger tables, if one desired them, and each table had a sweet little pink-shaded light on it. Cecily had interrupted somewhere about there, and had remarked that it took quantities of money to buy living in places of that sort. Unheedingly, Grand had gone on and on. Perhaps Ann had not attended as well as she should have attended. She was tired out and sleepy. For years and years, Grand had said, Rosalie and he had gladly, more than gladly, indeed, made a home for their girls. There had been so much of that—so much of the home that he and Rosalie had Rlndly made for girls who had loved their home so deeply that they were reticent about leaving it. “Timid l'cet,” he had said. And soon he was being stern

about timid feet and reticence, and was comparing them with selfreliance, and had seemed to confuse self-reliance with love, and ladies who knew their own minds, and, suddenly, had roundly denounced from out of whole cloth, coquettes and flirts. Presently Ann had noticed that Cecily looked odd, and pink, and pucker faced, though Grand had .said only, in so far as Ann had heard, that he and Rosalie were past middle age. He went on to say, as Ann listened more intently, that they feared, aye almost dreaded another winter in this great, cold draughty place, with the hardships and insufficiency of fuel. He feared for Rosalie’s health. Rosalie feared for his health—a recurrence of last winter’s serious, all but fatal illness. Fear, however, would not force them to evade their duty. Never had their duty been evaded. They were not, now, evading it. As Mr. Carmichael had pointed out —ohe must be able to discern where one's real duty lay. Eagles pushed th*ir eaglets from the nest, but flew beneath them with outstretched wings to catch them should they fall. The home was here. He and Rosalie would be near their darlings, in fact and in spirit, flying beneath them should their wings grow weak—ready to give advice, to help catch them should they fall. He and Rosalie had waited now, patiently and long. They had paid the money for the livings in May, at a time when the vacancy had occurred, and at a time when their darlings’ futures had seemed planned and secure. They had waited. They had not complained. a a a CECILY, so recently scolded concerning reticence had, here spoken right out. “You have paid the money for the livings? Paid it in May? Did they give you a receipt? May I see it?” Grand had taken the paper from his old bill folder and had shown it, and Ann had read it word for word with her own eyes. Mr. Carmichael, his friend, his dear friend, his good friend, had advanced the necessary amount. "Six thousand dollars,” Cecily had gasped. “But why should he—why would be lend such a lot of money?” Friendship. Kindness. Solicitude for his friends’ health. Generosity. The Golden Rule. Any number of reasons. Grand added, however, with a sort of light pride, that he had insisted upon Mr. Carmichael’s taking the mansion and the grounds—the entire estate, in sact —as a pledge for the amount he had advanced. Rosalie had said, "Merely a pledge. Not a mortgage nor—um—anything disagreeable of that sort. A pledge. You know, dears, you understand?* The dears either knew and understood or pretended that they did so. Ann had thought, "All the time— I wonder for how long—they have hated it just as Cissy and I have hated it. That is funny. Or—is it funny? "Odd that Cissy doesn’t laugh. I must not laugh. It would be rude to laugh. I'll wait to laugh.” Ann had said, "Yes, Grand,” and, "Surely,” and, "Os course,” to his plan concerning Mary-Frances. She would, he presumed, make her home with Philip and Ann. He did insist, however, he must insist that, as often as once a week, at least, Mary-Frances should come to him and to Rosalie and present to them, as Ann and Cecily had always presented, her girlish problems (if any existed), her youthful hopes, her maiden aspirations. < "And now, my darlings, my little girls—always girls to me, though scon to be women—” And then the kisses, and the blessings, and Cecily and Ann had been left alone, and neither of them could find a word to say until Ann had dropped her "Well” down from a high rlace. Cecily returned on tiptoes. She looked dog-guilty and as radiant as | a sunrise. "Barry’s coming,” she said, “I could’t stop him, I tried i to, angel, but I couldn’t. He won’t I drive in. I told him to park out- [ side the grounds and walk up. I’ll see him only a minute.”

Ann said, "But, Cissy, you shouldn't have," and went to the telephone. "Phil’s coming,” Ann said, a few minutes later* "I couldn’t stop him. But I told him to park outside the grounds and walk up.” a a a CECILY and Ann sat waiting on the porch. It was cold out there, so they huddled together. Cecily giggled a little, all to herself in the darkness. "What?” Ann asked. "Nothing,” said Cecily. "Everything.” "Yes,” said Ann. "I feel like laughing, too. Only—l don’t know, I’m almost afraid to think of how happy Phil and I are going to be. Now that it is right here, it is almost too big to look at. I—wonder how we’ll stand being so happy, all the time, and still stay sensible.” "Angel,” Cecily condescended. "Don’t you feel that way, Cissy?” "No. I don’t suppose we’ll be so very happy—much of the time. When two people have managed as much misery as Barry and I have managed before we are married—l suppose we’ll keep on with it, more or less. Less—maybe.” “I know,” said Ann. "H’um,” said Cecily. "You’d rather be unhappy with Barry,” said Ann, "than happy with any one else.” "I Tope I’m not such an idiot. No.” "But if you don’t expect to be happy, what are you marrying him for?” "Not for anything. Just because he is Barry.” "H’um,” said Ann. "The Hills,” said Ann, ‘are such good people, Cissy.” “I know.” Ann nodded to herself. "Just the same, I’ll be glad to have MaryFrances going to a different school. We’ll live on the west side, near Phil’s office. I don’t mean that Ermintrude isn’t a nice little girl. She is—a very nice little girl, but—” Someone was walking rapidly up the path. Ann said, "Listen. There’s Barry.” Phil had farther to come, and Phil was always late. Cecily said, “Yes,” and jumped to her feet, and shook her coat straight, and was gone. Ann closed her eyes again and rested her head back against the post and waited. Cecily’s laughter, muted, came to her ears. Odd, rather, to begin right off with laughing, as if something funny had happened the first instant. Cecily’s voice came, with laughter in it. "Ann,” she called softly. "Ann. Here’s Phil.” THE END. ADMITS 25 ROBBERIES Youth, 18, Faces 1-3-Year Sentence for Easy Way of Livelihood. An 18-year-old youth pleaded guilty Monday in Criminal court to twenty-five robberies, and calmly told Judge Frank P. Baker how he had outwitted police for two years. "Breaking into houses was the easiest way I knew of making a living,” the youth, Herbert Johnson, of 938 Fletcher avenue, confessed at his arraignment. He faces a three-to-ten-year prison sentence, which probably will b? imposed Thursday. The robberies netted him more than S3OO.

Tarzan looked long at the lovely scene below them. The green valley was dotted with deep blue lakes and crossed by the blue trail of a winding river. In the center, a city of the whiteness of the marble cliffs. Even at-this distance its strange, artistic architecture was impressive in its fantastic form. “Jad Pale ul Jad-ben-Otho,” murmured Tarzan, in the tongue of the pithecanthropi; “The Valley of the great Qpd—it is beautiful!”

“Here, in A-lur. lives Ko-tan, the king, ruler over all Pal-ul-don,” said Ta-den. ‘ And here in these gorges, lives my people, the Waz-don,” exclaimed Om-at, “who do not acknowledge that Ko-tan is the ruler over all the Land-of-man.” Ta-den smiled and shrugged his shoulders. “We will not quarrel, you and I," he said to Om-at, “over those things that have always kent your people and mine bitter enemies.''

“It is not our fault, Ta-den, that thy people are fools and will not acknowledge that the one and only temple-god has a long tail." “It is sacrilege,” cried Ta-den, laying his hand upon his knife, “Jad-ben-Otho has no tail!” “Stop!” shrieked Om-at, springing forward; but instantly Tarzan interposed himself between them. “Enough!” he snapped, “let us be true to our oaths of friendship. Forget your differences.” *

“You are right, Tailless One,” said Ea-den. “Come, Om-at, let us look after our friendship and ourselves.” The shaggy black shrugged his shoulders and smiled. “Done!” he agreed. “Shall we make our way down toward the valley” he asked. “The gorge below us to the left contains the caves of my people. I would see Pan-at-lee, my she, once more. Ta-den would visit his father in the valley and the Tailless One seeks entrance into A-lur in search of uria woman. How shall we proceed?"
