In (this manner she would obviate the possibility of encountering him each flay. Another job would carry her out of the reach of wagging tongues. Another job was the solution. She must leave Barclay’s. She was not surprised to find

Molly up and about. At the sound of the key in the door, Molly appeared, a cold duck saifßwich in her hand. She offered half to Ellen, an offer which was refused, then perched herself on the arm of a chair to demand an account of the drive. Ellen flung off her hat. “I’m too tired to talk,” she said, moving toward the bedroom. “Nothing happened except that Mr. Barclay asked me to marry him—” “Oh, Ellen! You call that nothing!” “And I refused him,” Ellen stated with serene finality. Molly’s face was almost comic in its abrupt transition from delight to complete dismay. “Ellen, you didn’t!” “I did. And furthermore, in the morning, I’m leaving Barclay’s for another job.” a a a SHE was very tired. To have refused Steven had been hard enough in itself. How could she bear a recapitulation of that re-, fusal? How could she bear to meet Molly’s hysterical reproaches? But Molly remained unexpectedly calm. “If you don’t feel that you love him,” she said quietly, “you did the right thing.” The desperate move on which | Molly had risked everything wasj successful. Ellen's surprise mastered ‘her fatigue. • Mother! Then you do think I’m right?” “Os course, my darling,” said Molly, as she relinquished her sandwich and came toward her daughter. She drew Ellen into her arms, murmuring that now she was no longer a little girl and must decide her own problems. She was so calm and reasonable that Ellen was reassured. Strangely enough, she felt her own attitude veering. She began to wonder if she had been unwise, to wonder if Larry were not the illusion and Steven the reality. “I like him,” she said wearily, “but I just don’t love him. You’ve

no idea how hard it was fpr me to refuse him!” “I know I didn’t understand in the first place,” Molly said, feeling her way, “but I do now. You must make your own decision—l can’t do it for you. “You’ll have to live with the man you marry, not I. I’d have been pleased for many, many reasons if you’d decided for Mr. Barclay—he would be so good to you.” “I know.” “It would have been so much easier for all of ua” Molly sighed. Ellen began to feel selfish. She could not know, as Molly herself scarcely knew, that her mother was laying a deep and subtle trap. When Ellen went into the bedroom, she was unsure of herself and her wisdom. , Myra was in bed with a book on her knees. She looked up and smiled a welcome, but she had determined to let Ellen alone and not ask questions. Ellen, however, wanted a confidante. She came over to the bed, removed the book from Myra’s hands and sat down. “Steven Barclay asked me to marry him,” she said abruptly. “So soon, Ellen!” “Too soon,” Ellen answered darkly. She added, “I shouldn’t have said that. I really think he rushed matters because he thought we all desperately needed a lift. Myra, he was wonderful, wonderful! But I don’t want to marry him.” “You won’t be seeing him any more then?” “Oh, I’ll be seeing him.” nan THERE was a silence in the dim bedroom where only one light burned. Pale moonlight filtered through an open window, lay in patches on the scarred floor and shone on the big old-fashioned bed with one* grave-eyed girl against the pillows and the other at her feet. “Do you think it would be very wrong to marry a man you liked because you—because you couldn’t marry one you thought you loved?” Ellen asked suddenly. “Oh, I don’t know, Ellen.” “The funny thing is I don’t really know where I am,” Ellen went on in a puzzled way. “My feelings whirl around like a shutttlecock. “There’d be no problem at all if I didn’t like Steven, but I do! I can’t decide whether I’m being mercenary and grasping or ” “You’re not that. You know you’re not. Don’t even imagine such things!” “But if he didn’t have any money ” “That’s extremely foolish of you,” Myra interrupted sharply. “I’m not taking sides in this, but I won’t have you imagining that you’re something you’re not. “You’re every bit as good as Steven Barclay. What if he does have money? You're beautiful. You’re sweet and good. You’re wellborn ” “You sound like a novel of the ’B9s,” Ellen broke In with a rueful little laugh. “Just the same, it’s true,” persisted Myra. “D’you know, I wasn't sure whether I was going to say ‘yes’ or ’no’ until I did?” Ellen said, staring out at the winking electric sign across the street. “You’d know what you were going to say, wouldn’t you, if it had been Larry Harrowgate?” Ellen’s face turned scarlet. “He hasn’t asked me,” she answered, her cheeks continuing to flame. “I haven’t a reason in the world to imagine he will when he’s engaged to another girl,” “Has he—ever said anything that might suggest- he meant to tell you about that?”

TARZAN THE TERRIBLE

:.-- 1— I' rtr j t-.l 11 ' • ~E ,

Night had fallen as Tarzan looked through the doorway of the cave. In other caves he heard voices, and smelled the odor of cooking. Luckily, the one where he had been held prisoner was on the very lowest tier, scarcely thirty feet from the base of the cliff. Gathering together his weapons, swiftly and silently he dropped down the ladder of pegs to search for a point where he could ascend the ridge, and return id the Tillage of Om-at, the Kcr-ut-f*. v ":>. *! ■ ■

“No, he hasn’t," Ellen admitted in a low, strained voice. “That’s what makes me—well it doesn’t make me hate him, but it makes me think I shouldn’t. Oh, why can’t men be more fair?” There was no answer to that question. Both girls knew it. Presently Ellen murmured a good night and slipped off to her own bed. Myra dropped her book to the floor and snapped off the light Ellen was awakened by a pounding on the door from the living room. Earlier in the night her sleep had been light and troubled,

He came at last to where the river ran so close to the rocky wpll that he was forced to swim it in search of a trail on the opposite side. Here his keen nostrils detected a familiar scent. At this spot Pan-at-lee had sought the jungle's safety. Immediately the ape-man's plans changed. Now he knew the girl was alive after her leap from the cliff summit. For the sake of Om-at, his friend, he determined to follow this trail he had picked up by accident,

but toward morning she had fallen into heavy slumber. Nevertheless, the terrific noise brought her wide-awake at once. Sure that the building must be on fire, she roused Mirra, told her to wake Molly and Mike, grabbed her kimona and ran through the living room to the door, It was barely 6 o’clock, a a a SHE jerked open the door and stood in foolish surprise, abruptly conscious of her disheveled attire. Pacing her was John Farnum, owner of the building. “What do you mean rousing us at

this hour?” she gasped indignantly, trying to hide her bare feet. “I mean I want my rent and I want it now,” he said in a loud voice. “Come in and stop shouting.” she answered shortly. “Have the kindness to wait until I dress.” “I'll have the kindness to do nothing,” he barked. “Your mother’s put me off with excuses long enough. If you’ve got the money to buy a parcel of new furniture and a lot of fancy grub, if you’ve got money to entertain folks who have limousines, you’ve got enough to pay your rent.” -

At length it led him to the verge of another cliff where, after a moment's search, he discovered the stone pegs by which Pan-at-lee had descended. As he lay upon his belly and leaned down to examine the pegs, his attention was riveted by something slowly coming upward, apparently by means of similar pegs. Watching intently, he saw it rising higher and higher until now he was able to distinguish its form more ilearly*

"You shall have your money immediately,” Ellen announced, wondering as she spoke if there were enough in the apartment to satisfy his claim. She left him standing by the door. Myra in the bedroom had just succeeded in rousing Molly and Mike. “Theres’ no fire,” Ellen said. “It’s I just Mr. Famum suddenly troubled at 6 In the morning about his rent. We’ll have to pay him immediately." “He’ll wait,” declared Molly, relieved and promptly sleepy again. “I talked to him day before yester-

day—on Saturday. I explained how hard up we are. Let me see him. Where’s that kimona?” “I’m afraid it will be useless to see him now,” Ellen stopped her. ■‘He’s heard about our party last night. I’ve no doubt he knows every item on the menu." “That’s the trouble with living in a place like this," Myra observed fretfully, pounding her pillow into plumpness. “Everybody talks so.” (To Be Continued)

It had a tail, and resembled some form of great ape of the lower orders To the upper tier of caves it crawled, disappearing into one. Then Tarzan again took up the trail of Pan-at-lee. He followed it down the stone pegs to the nearest cave, then toward the upper tier. Startled, he realized that this was the direction of the strange, monstrous form had taken, “and he quickened his pace. He had almost ’ reached the third eave when the echoes of were awakened by a shrill scream
