MOLLY ROSSITER. her elder sister. MYRA, and her young brother. MIKE , STEVEN BARCLAY. 57 and Ellen's employer, loves the girl btit Ellen is In love with LARRY HARROWOATE, an artist, she has met at Dreamland. Bhe loses her heart to him in isplt* of the fact that he is engaged to ELIZABETH BOWES, a debutante. Ellen Is unwilling to wound Barclay, but when scandalous goßsip is circulated at the store, she determines to see him no more. However. Moilv Rossiter, anxious for Ellen to marry a rich husband Invites Barclay to dinner. Without Ellen's knowledge. Molly borrows money to make the apartment more attractive and to buy the most expensive food When the girl learns this She Is furious. She and Molly go to the kitchen to prepare dinner while Mvra and BERT ARMSTEAD. Myra's fiance, entertain Barclay. „ NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER SEVENTEEN (Continued) “All right. Miss. I’ll do It. But you can’t blame me if them ducks don’t taste Jest right.” “We won’t,” snapped Ellen. a a a SHE grew cooler and more comfortable in the bedroom as she flung aside her business dress, went into the bathroom and cautiously bathed with due consideration for the fact that splashing water was audible in the living room. She returned to the bedroom and slipped into a clean, fresh, blue frock. She brushed her curling hair, powdered her flushed face and found the string of amber beads that went so well with her skin. She looked all right. The sleeveless dress, cheap as it was, was very kind to her slender youth. “Ellen, honey,” said her mother, entering, “will you fix my snaps, or are you still mad at me?” Ellen’s heart failed her. What was the use of anger, of threats, of reproaches? After a solemn talk, which took place as Ellen’s fingers busied themselves with the snaps, Molly promised, as she had promised so often before, that there would be no more surprises. But she looked unusually sobered. By telling her of the gossip at the store, Ellen had succeded In frightening the harum-scarum, little Irish Woman. “They’re just jealous,” she declared. “If I were you, I’d just tell that Mrs. Bondy that he was here for dinner tonight. That’d stop their mouths. I’ve half a notion to go down there and tell—” “The best thing I can do,” Ellen interrupted warningly, “is what I am doing—say nothing.” “Well—maybe you’re right, but I’d like to give two or three of those girls a good shaking just the same!” a a a TOGETHER they went into the living room. Bert was engaged in a long and technical discussion of the comparative merits of the Yankees and the Giants. If Barclay were bored, his courteous, interested air concealed the fact. He stood up quickly as Ellen and Molly appeared. “Well, dinner is almost ready—at last,” Molly announced. “I hope you’re not all starved. Where in the world do you suppose Mike is?” “I’ll go find him,” offered Myra. The room was breathlessly hot and every one was politely dissembling interest in the sharp, delicious odor of roasting duck.

“You haven’t met the pride of the > family,” Ellen remarked smilingly to j Barclay. “Oh, yes I have. I met him in ; the hall,” Barclay affirmed. Ellen did not know what made her think that he looked guilty in; a small-boy way, but she did think j that. Could Mike have said something to him? Myra had started for the door, when Ellen suddenly determined to learn what had occurred in the hall. She spoke hurriedly and definitely. “You go wash up, Myra. I’ll j gather Mike in.” She was out the door and running, down the stairs. When she reached the street she saw that practically all the youngsters in the neighborhood—and they were many—had gathered before the apartment door, almost blocking it. A few stared with wistful longing at the sleek, black limousine > from which the alertly rigid chauf- j feur barred them. But the majority, i screaming and vociferous, were peering up the lamp-lighted street. “Have any of you seen Mike Rossiter?” she inquired, wondering just: what new game they were playing. | “Sure,” half a dozen voices j chorused shrilly. She picked out j from the resultant confusion the information that Mike was giving Peter Rafferty a ride on his new bicycle. Just then she saw Mike. He was strutting along proudly beside a shining wheel, calling out caution l and advice to the tow-headed j youngster who was pedaling. Ellen knew all at once why Bar-! clay had looked so guilty. This! was impossible! “Mike Rossiter, come here this minute!" she called. a a a THE youngsters made way for him. Peter Rafferty slid from the seat like a small, active crab. Mike, unconscious of the calamity about to fall, carefully wheeled his new possession over the curb and up on the sidewalk. Ellen never had seen such glory as was on his transfigured face. “Mr. Barclay gave it to me,” he explained in a hushed voice, caressing with his grubby hand the shining mud-guards. “But, darling, we can’t let you keep it,” Ellen said faintly. The blow struck. Mike’s face turned red; his blue eyes looked surprised, bewlidered, confused, hurt and angry, in rapid succession. For a moment he gazed at her in appalled silence; then burst into loud and frantic wails. So overwhelming was his grief and rage that Ellen was afraid it would result in his usual upset stomach. She gathered in his shaking body, conscious that the entire juvenile population was watching. “I can’t do anything,” Mike sobbed. “I can’t have anything. I promised all the other boys a ride. Mother’d let me have it. I’ll be so good, Ellen; I’ll do everything you tell me.” “But Mike ” “My bike, my bike!” Ellen knew she was weak and that she should be firm; she knew that once she let Mike get the upper hand her discipline would be gone. But she could not stand out against

thia overwhelming grief. She relented. a a a WHEN Ellen and Mike, the latter’s face pale and tearstained, got the bicycle up the stairs and into the living room, the girl saw that the news had preceded them. As they made their awkward entrance she and Myra exchanged an expressive glance. Myra, too, was troubled by Barclay’s munificence. But Molly, her jaw set in stubborn lines, carefully avoided Ellen’s eyes. That was not surprising. Ellen had expected no help from that quarter. There was an embarrassing silence. Mike, childishly conscious that something was wrong, conscious that he had somehow failed his sister and by no means certain of his ultimate victory, deserted Ellen to rush to his mother. Molly stroked his hot little head buried in her lap and bent to whisper words of comfort. Bert, twiddling with the radio dials, considered the whole affair unworthy of a man’s attention. He never could understand what he termed those “Rossiter” moods of Myra and her sister. The most uncomfortable person in the room was the real culprit. Steven had hoped Ellen would speak, but when she did not, he said anxiously: “Have I been thoughtless?” Ellen, without comment, wheeled the bicycle into the crowded closet in the corner and shut the door with a rather sharp bang. She did not know what to say. How could she tell Barclay that it was one thing to present a toy to the child of a millionaire and quite another to present that same toy to the child whose parents could not afford to give it to him? How could she tell him of the fierce and necessary pride of the poor? “You’ve been extremely thoughtful,” Molly was saying, with a timid glance at Myra. “Not one man in a thousand would know exactly what a boy of 10 wanted. Mike’s been dying, simply dying, for a bicycle. Mike shyly raised his head. “I’m to keep it, then?” he demanded eagerly. “Ellen said so if I’d be good.” At that moment the maid made a blessed" interruption, an interruption which Ellen felt to be almost worth the $5 she was to receive. She clumped into the room to announce dinnor- was ready. CHAPTER EIGHTEEN THE dinner, off to such a bad start, soon was a jolly, friendly affair. The food was excellent, and not, as Ellen had feared in the beginning, too elaborate. She had omitted the pate and firmly had vetoed Molly’s suggestion that the lobster be served in the shell. They began the meal with lobster cocktail, cool and delicious and served with one of Ellen's famous sauces. Then there was the roast duck, cunningly and accurately seasoned. The vegetables, green corn with peppers and peas and broccoli, were served with cream sauces. Ellen had managed everything so that the dinner seemed a great deal simpler than it was. Bert, firmly prevented from discussing baseball, was encouraged to talk of his really amazing knowledge of literature. Myra and Ellen, invariable conversationalists, soon were gaily wrangling with him over the rightful place of some of his favorites. Where would Sinclair Levis be in 100 years? A historian of his age or completely forgotten? How about Hemingway? They argued while Molly, a proud smile in her eyes, looked at Barclay as if to demand whether her

TARZAN THE TERRIBLE

Like the creature of a nightmare, so grotesque was it, the thing moved sluggishly up the face of the cliff. It might have been a huge sloth or some gigantic grubworm. But the moonlight touching it disclosed its hand and feet. With these it clung to the stone pegs and raised Itself laboriously aloft toward the cave where Pan-at-lee slept. Prom the lower reaches' of the gorge came again the sound of bellowing, and this time it was answered from above the deserted cave-village.

daughters were not the cleverest in the world. Steven, silent at first and not quite understanding how the game was played, entered one or two suggestions only to see them tom to bits and flung back at him altered almost beyond recognition. He learned quickly; warmed to their youthful vigor. Soon he was defending his position as valiantly as they defended theirs. He caught Myra’s and Ellen’s attention when he mentioned his acquaintance with several of the authors tinder discussion. They demanded more and then more.

Before he knew it, he was talking of places he had been and people he had met. He sketched Monte Carlo for them and told of little French towns where life moved just as it had 300 years before. He recreated the color of glittering bazaars and spun tales of adventurers, princesses, statesmen and scoundrels he had known. nan ELLEN forgot her resentment of the man under the spell of the pictures he drew. Oh, it would be fun to travel, to see the gray spires of Paris and to wander in the cool depths of the Black Forest.

When Tarzan of the Apes opened his eyes after being felled to earth, he was conscious of a pain in his head; then grotesque shadows focused his arousing perceptions. He saw he was in some cave. Under a stone cresset whose flame dimly lit the crude interior, a dozen Waz-don warriors sat about, talking. “We brought him to you alive, Grund,” he heard orje say, “because never before was Hodon like him seen. He has no tail.” 9

The little group Ignored the passage of time as they proceeded further and further into the fascinating exploration of one another's minds. Finally there came an interruption. It was the colored maid again. “I’ve waited and waited,” she announced mournfully. “I want my $5. I got to go home.” They all laughed and straggled from the table. Ellen became aware that the room was stiflingly hot. Troubles which had been put away returned to harass her. What was to happen to them? The insurance money so painfully

“He was boro that way,” continued the speaker, “for there is no scar to mark where a tail had been cut off. Different, too, are his hands and feqt. But he is more powerful than many men put together. We brought him alive, that you might see him before he is slain.” The chief came over to the ape-man, who feigned unconsciousness. Tarzan felt hairy hands examining him from head to foot, and heard comments made upon the size and shape of his thumbs and great toes.

scraped together had been spent for an evening's pleasure. The coast of Normandy was all very well, but where was the rent to come from? When they wandered from the debris in the dining room to the stuffy living room, she moved to the window and stared down at the noisy street. Children were playing and screaming there while mothers and fathers sat wearily on the stoops, fanning themselves with newspapers they would later toss into the gutters. Ellen could not distinguish Mike from the distance but she could

hear his boastful voice. She felt an inward pang. What was to become of him, a child who had no playground but the street? “Whew, it’s ' simply scorching!’* breathed Molly’s voice in her ear. “I was hoping we’d have a storm. But you look cool enough.” Ellen turned from the window. “I’m not cool,” she said listlessly. “I don’t believe it will ever rain again. There’s not even heat lightning.” “Why don’t we all go driving ?** suggested Steven, laying aside his cigar. (To Be Continued)

‘ With no tail,” grunted the chief, “it can not climb. It wiAld surely fall even from the cliff pegs. I have never seen a thing like it. I wonder from whence it came and what it is called?” “We heard its companions call it • Tarzan-jad-guru. Tarzan the Terrible.’ Shall we kill it now?” “Wait until life returns into its head that I may question it. Remain here, In-Tan, and guard it. When it can again speak and hear, call me.” So saying, the chief and. his followers departed from the cave.
