NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FOURTEEN (Continued) Then the stars came out. “Listen, what time is it?’* asked Ellen suddenly. “I’ve got to get to Dreamland and you promised to return the car to your friend.” “That doesn’t matter,” Larry replied carelessly as he leaned across the table toward her. “The only thing that matters is that you and I are here on roof and that you have the loveliest eyes. Did you ever take a good look at your eyes— Ellen?”

But Ellen was not to be diverted. “No wonder you're always late,” Tshe rebuked. “Don’t you ever look at your watch?” “Asa matter of fact," he laughed, “I haven’t a watch. I’m- afraid if I carried one I’d have to look at It.” Ellen was taken back by the novelty of this viewpoint. What an idiot he was! But she was a little troubled also. Larry had distinctly told her his friend intended to use the car that evening. She had her job to remember. She could not be easy until she knew the time. She told him that. tt tt tt SOMEWHAT aggrieved, he set off in search of a waiter. When he returned, he was smiling broadly, good natured and cheerful again. “Everything’s fine now,” he teased her. “It’s too late for me to take the car back and it’s too late for you to go to Dreamland. It’s 15 minutes of 9.” Ellen uttered a cry of horror. She stood up. “We’ll have to leave this minute!” she cried. “But no—you don’t understand! It’s too late to leave. We’ll stay here and dance. What a lucky break my not having a watch!” “It may not make any difference to you.” Ellen said, determined to sober him. “But my job is important to me. *1 simply must get back.” “But you can’t,” he exclaimed. “That’s what I’m trying to tell you. We couldn’t reach town before 10 any way—maybe later.” Ellen was annoyed and hurt. When he saw suddenly that she was not amused, and that a genuine mood of anger and disappointment ■was keeping her silent, he changed his tone. She thought he seemed disinterested as he asked what she would do. “I’ll telephone that I’ll be late. 11

suppose that’s the only thing I can do.” ‘T’ve got it!” Larry exclaimed. “We’ll stop at Dreamland and 111 buy all your dances for the evening. That’ll fix Salomon. You’ll see.” Ellen, reluctantly, unwillingly, found herself laughing with him. It was too difficult for her not to respond to his easy, agreeable charm. After all, she thought, even if he couldn’t seem to understand the seriousness of her job, he was quick enough to mend the situation he had created. “We’ll go dancing in town,” he went on. “That'll be more fun any way. This place was beginning to get tiresome.” Ellen could not understand him at all. Just a moment before he had been eager to stay. u n U A s Larry had-predicted, Salomon *-.was willing enough to accept Ellen’s confused excuses, willing enough to permit her an evening away from the dance hall when he was able to profit as much by her absence as by her presence. But Ellen found herself uncomfortable over the arrangement. She knew the other girls thought it odd. Anise, in particular, stared curiously and turned to Tony to make what Ellen was sure was a spiteful remark. She forgot all that as she and Larry danced the night away on the roof of a small, smart hotel. She forgot everything except that she was dancing with Larry arid that Larry—liked her. In a thousand ways girls understand so well he had told her so. They drove home through the night when the stars had begun to fade and the east was beginning to lighten and tjiat still, cool hush just before dawn enveloped the city. When they arrived in Brooklyn, the sun was breaking over the house tops. They paused to -look at the brightening east and to breathe the delicious coolness before they crept into the quiet house and slowly up the stairs. Larry hesitated at the door a long time, as unwilling to go as Ellen was to have him they told each other again and again. In hushed, surreptitious voices they whispered of what they had seen and done; whispered of future meetings. What fun they would have! Gradually there crept into the air a tenseness that made their very gayety iappropriate. Larry’s sentence trailed into brooding silence. He was holding Ellen’s hands in his own. One of them loosened and then the cither. With a feeling of pure ecstasy and a painfully beating heart, she felt his hands at her shoulders. She was trembling and her eager lips were parted. She was almost in his arms when he muttered huskily that it was time for little girls to be In bed and, without a backward look, ran down the stairway.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN MONDAY was sale day at Barclay’s. Monday was the day the basement invariably reached its peak for the whole week. The girls dreaded Mondays. Most of them on Sunday critically examined the store advertisements to determine which counters were to be inundated. That particular Monday Ellen and Jenny Elkins, her counter mate, were the victims. Their counter drew a large and vociferous proportion of the crowd. Nineteen-cent cretonne, nundreds of bolts, apparently were passionately desired by every woman in New York. Ellen, as she mechanically cut lengths of gay colored material and tossed them to the wrapper, as she tried vainly to keep some order among the bolts on the counter, as she again 'and again assured cross and weary shoppers that any one of the patterns was precisely what was wanted for summer draperies, had not a minute to think of herself or df Larry. She had dreamed of him the night before. No dream had a chance of survival at Barclay’s on Monday morning. Toward 11, Ellen began to notice that Jenny Elkins, a little chatterbox of 19, was strangely silent. Ordinarily, nothing could stop Jenny’s active tongue. She always was talking and giggling between sales or during them, calmly oblivious of the fury of her customers. Ellen missed her cheerful chatter and her breathless confidences of what “the boy friend” had said or done the night before. During a temporary lull, she ventureed to move to Jenny's end of the counter to ask how she had spent the week-end.

“'T'HE other girl continued makA ing out her sales slip. Since Jenny did not speak, Ellen decided that she had not heard the question. She repeated it. Jenny raised a flushed face. “Doing nothing much,” she answered coolly. “I haven’t done anything to offend you, have I? Ellen asked in surprise. “Os course not,” Jenny responded airily. She tore off the sales slip, handed the carbon to her customer and affably urged the perspiring woman to come again to Barclay’s^ She was so affable that ‘the customer looked a bit startled as she hurried away. She was less startled than Ellen. Ellen knew how Jenny felt about customers. Unfortunately at that moment her attention was diverted by a renewed run on cretonnes. She was compelled to dash back to her own place. Eventually she decided to ask Jenny to lunch with her. She really preferred to lunch alone, but she had no intention of permitting her countermate to sulk over an imaginary injury. At the stroke of 12 "and before Ellen had a chance to speak, Jenny disappeared. That was odd, too. Generally there was some casual discussion of luncheon plans. Ellen ran toward the employes’ stairway and caught up with Jenny who was making her way to the rest room. “I’ll set you up to lunch if you don’t go over 50 cents,” she offered guilefully, knowing how broke Jenny invariably was. “Sorry,” answered Jenny. “Look here,” Ellen began suddenly and with spirit, “if you’re annoyed with me over something, I insist that you tell me what it is.” tt X tt THE stairs were full of hurrying girls. All at once Ellen was possessed of the notion that Jenny did not wish to be seen with her. Certainly she was galloping up to the stairs in an unusual manner. • “Tell me,” she urged again. “It’s nothing,” Jenny responded sulkily. (To Be Continued)

TARZAN THE TERRIBLE

* At the same moment that Tarzan wrenched the warrior’s club from him his left fist crashed a shattering blow to the face, dropping the fellow in his tracks. Grabbing his enemy’s bludgeon, the ape-man swung upon the others, striking to right and left mighty, unmerciful blows that drove down their own weapons, until the ape-man cudgel was splintered and shat-

On either hand the enemy fell, so rapid were Tarzan’s blows, so cat-like his recovery. But it could not last—he was outnumbered twenty to one and his undoing came from a thrown club. It struck him on the back of his head. For a moment he stood swaying and then crashed to earth. His companions, too, were beaten. As they retreated, Om-at called to the missing one: “Tarzan-jad-guru! Tarzan the Terrible!” but Tarzan heard not, for he lay face upward, apparently lifeless.

The night before Tarzan fell among his enemies, Pan-at-lee had leaped over the high cliff. She expected to be dashed to instant death, but chose this in preference to the rending fangs of ‘ja.’ Instead, the frightful plunge landed her in the river, where it formed a deep pool beneath the overhanging cliff. Into this icy pool the girl shot, down and down until, half choked but fighting bravSly, she battle her way once more to air.

Swimming strongly, she made the opposite shore. There she dragged herself out and lay, panting and spent upon the bank. Soon approaching dawn warned her to seek concealment, for she was in the country of her people’* enemies. As she hid among the thick plant life, trying to plan what best to do, there broke upon her ears*from up the gorge the voices of shouting men—£ sdbnd that she recognized all too well.
