Ellen ouarrels with her mother* and refuses to break an engagement with Larrv to accept one from Barclay. 3he and Larrv go to Coney Island. NOW GO ON WITH THE uTORY CHAPTER THIRTEEN (Continued) He laughed and called her hardhearted. Soon they were wrangling gaily, pleased with each other and with themselves, pleased to be together, riding in a smooth, luxurious car on such a glorious day. ‘That’s a nice frock,” Larry said ns they swept out of Pine street and toward Manhattan. "I wore it last night.” Ellen reponded innocently. “This is the snme one with the jacket added.” “You’re a smart little girl, aren’t you, Ellen?” "Girls have to be smart about yc’othes,” Ellen confessed, hiding her exultation with the cdmpliment. “With or without the jacket, that '■lress is just your ticket,” Larry ummarized it. man THE car slid over Brooklyn bridge. Ellen, glancing up, surprised an odd expression on Larry’s * face. He spoke, but the roar of Sunday -• traffic drowned his voice. Helplessly the girl shook her head. Lower Manhattan was quieter. Empty office buildings frowned down into empty canyons that on week-days were filled with scurrying stenographers and clerks and brokers and customers' men. Nothing open, not a restaurant, not a drug store, not a newsstand. A few pedestrians idled along lower Broadway, a few cars idled along the deserted street, but everywhere was the peace of Sunday. Ellen waited for Larry to speak. He had wanted to say something; he had r,aid something on the bridge. ' His persistent silence disturbed the girl, made her nervous and absurdly anxious. “Well?” she said at length. “Well,” he repeated after her. “You said something to me on the bridge, but I couldn’t hear,” she told him a littly stiffly. “So I did,” he agreed exasperatingly. “What was it.” “Something I hadn’t any right to say to you.” “Oh, for heaven’s sake!” she cried in irritation. ‘You have a right to say anything you want to say to me.” “Do you really mean that?” “Certainly, I mean it!” The car slowed; his speech slowed. “I was only thinking,” he said lightly, ‘‘that I like your dress today a good deal better than the one you wore the first night I met you.” That dress again! “Most people thought the other

one was lovely,” Ellen put in faintly. How she wished she had not forced this issue! “That’s not quite what I was getting at,” mam JUST then he turned a sharp cor*ner and Ellen, caught off guard, literally was flung Into his arms. She gasped, extricated herself and moved back to her own corner with an uncertain laugh. Sh*e hoped the man would laugh too; hoped his attention would have been diverted from the dress. II had not been. “You know what I was getting at, don’t you?" he inquired idly. “How should I?” She was determined not to help him. “Very well then, I’ll tell you,” he began briskly and in a manner most matter of fact. “It’s none of my business and I’m rushing in where angels fear to tread and all that but it seems funny to me than—well—” he continued stubbornly after a break, “ —that was an expensive dress, wasn’t it?” “This is an expensive car, isn’t it?” “Oh, I see! Meaning that at just this point a young man watches his step?” “Meaning precisely that!” Ellen was annoyed, as much with herself as with him. She ' wanted to be furiously angry. Larry had no right to question her when she could not question him. Her affairs were as much her own as were his affairs. But she could not be really angry- she dared not risk severing the slender thread that bound them together. Still her pride meant something. She would not explain. “I’m sorry. I’ve no right to be so curious,” he apologized unexpectedly and almost as if he were reading her secret thoughts. “I don’t know what got into me. “Let’s drop the subject and talk about the weather or what we’re going to do this afternoon.” The apology also failed to satisfy. Ellen was conscious of a certain disappointment, baffling and displeasing. She would not admit that deep in her heart she had hoped Larry would insist he had the right to know everything about her. There was a rather flat interval. Then Larry began driving at such terrific speed that the girl could think of nothing except keeping her hair up and her frock down. The pins showered from her hair. She pleaded with the speed maniac in vain. “How’s for some dancing?” he shouted, grinning. “Too hot for dancing,” she shouted in answer. “Have 'you ever been to Coney? Why don’t we rent suits and have that kind of a rowdy afi> ernoon?” Immediately he whirled the car in the direction of Coney Island. CHAPTER FOURTEEN CONEY ISLAND was having a record Sunday. Under a cloudless sky of electric blue lay an ocean of the same shade, filled with people who had fled the heat of the city for the heat of -the amusement resorj,. The golden sand of the beach was hidden completely by the sweltering mulitude. People sprawled un-

der umbrellas. In steamer chairs, or lay face down on the beach, suntanning. Policemen herded lost children, while frantic mothers searched far little Jimmy or Ike or Jane. Picnic parties gorged on popcorn and hot dogs. Young husbands proudly paraded with their young wives. Pretty, pale-faced girls strolled in pairs, bright eyes alert for the chance of an escort. Lovers taught their sweethearts how to swim. Life guards bobbed up and down in boats, listening for cries of help. It was a record Sunday. “Honestly,” said Ellen in an awed voice, “I’ve never seen so many people before. Never!" “You mean so many that you wouldn’t like to know,” Larry amplified, thoughtfully. “Snob,” she accused him. "Certainly,” he agreed. “So are you. Confess it—don’t you think we’re the nicest people at Coney Island, this afternoon?" “Certainly we are,” she agreed demurely, delightfully conscious of his hand on her bare arm, delightfully conscious of his nearness when the crowd pressed them together. “Still want to swim with all of New York for company?” “I still do.” They reached the bath house. Larry moaned when he perceived the long queue of sweltering men and women lined up for suits. “My God,” he said plaintively. Then he demanded, “Can’t we do something about this? Buy somebody’s place or something? There’s a man, near front, too, looks as if he’d be glad enough to sell.” “I suppose you’ve already got your tan at Palm Beach and don’t care how the rest of us manage,” El .en said with mild sarcasm. The annoyance faded from his face. “Don’t tease me, my child,” he complained. “I was thinking of you, heaven knows I was. My heart fails at the thought of you in one of those suits. The trick seems to be getting every customer into a suit that doesn’t fit.” He pointed to an extremely fat woman stuffed perilously into a black suit two sizes too small. She was emerging from one of the bath houses with a youngster of 10. a slender, wispish little girl almost falling out of a suit two or three sizes too large. Ellen giggled. m mm AFTER all, she and Larry didn’t go into the ocean. They rode on the whip and in a gondola through a Venice that was moonlight blue and slightly too damp for comfort. They rode on the roller coaster. Ellen, like 100,000 other girls, shrieked as little red cars shot ohining tracks and dropped into what seemed miles of lighted emptiness. “Hey, this idea was 100 per cent to the good!” caroled Larry as he steadied her in his arms, “I must have been missing things all my life.” They ate hot dogs from the hot dog wagon and cotton candy which melted under the tongue like sweetened air. They breathed mingled odors of sawdust and canvas and popcorn. They went to the side-shows and peered with fascinated horror into narrow booths. There the fat lady quivered like mountainous jelly. The cigaret fiend, thin as a snake, smoked endlessly. The sword swallower challenged his digestion with knives and nails. “That reminds me,” remarked Larry with the utmost seriousness, “I’m hungry.” “After all those hot dogs?” marveled Efien, giggling at his foolishness. “Only three or maybe four. You’re hungry, too. You can’t deny it. Your tongue’s hanging out at the thought of food.” They lunched on the roof of the Midnight Moon hotel, despite Ellen’s feeble protests at such extravagance. They ate lobster Newbury and strawberry ice, with reckless disregard of their health, while from far below they heard steamboat whistles and saw the tiny golden circle of the ferris wheel turning over and over.

Quickly it was explained to the three fugitives that Om-at was now their cheiftain. “It is well," exclaimed An-un, the father, “my daughter always said you would come back and slay Es-sat.” Now the enemy broke into sight behind them. “Comet” exclaimed Tarzan, “let us turn and charge them, raising a great cry.

Meanwhile, Om-at sent the swiftest youngster back to their tribe to bring a hundred warriors. Now rose the war cries of the two tribes as pursuers and pursued neared each other. The enemy, as Tarzan had predicted, hesitated, seeing eight where they had believed but three. Then Om-at and his companions fell upon them with such courage that the Kor-ui-lul turned and fled. Encouraged by tills, Om-at’s tailed fighter* niahed them toward the hlgfeb thick bush,

Both sides fought valiantly, and loudly terrifying were their savage yells. The tall grass almost hid the fighters from each other’s sight. Now Tarzan, always swift and always keen for battle, was soon in the lead of his companions as the foe retreated to a more strategic position. They had soon guessed the numbers of their pursuers, and knowing thorn to be few, had made a stand where the brush was thickest— that was to ptwve Tawaa* MhdoiQgry

Into this ambush ran Tarzan of the Apes, neatly tricked. A single black warrior had lured him on. At last the fellow turned, at bay, confronting the ape-man with a bludgeon and drawn knife. As Tarzan charged him, a score of burly Waz-don leaped from the surrounding bush. Instantly, but too late, the wily Jungle lord realized his peril as he beheld the numbers against him, but with a savage growl he threw himself upon the warrior before him, twisting the heavy clu4 from the gtoAtWs hand. 1
