Years ago S3O extra each week would have changed entirely the course of Lorene Elcott’s life. Now b raise meant only that she could

invest a little more In safe bonds. She roused from her dream of long ago and smiled at Ellen. “I hope SSO a week will be satisfactory.” “Satisfactory? Oh!” Ellen stammered. “That’s not the word at all. It’s simply perfect. You can’t know how perfect it is. Just wait till my mother hears this!” Then and then only a sudden doubt smote her. She flushed furiously.

“Is there something else you w T ant to ask?” Lorene said. “Why, yes,” Ellen conceded in a low tone. She struggled a moment and finally got it out. “Is that the regular starting salary for assistant buyers?” “It’s the regular salary,” Lorene replied promptly and untruthfully. Since receiving Steven Barclay’s instructions, Lorene, not unnaturally, had been prepared to dislike the recipient of his favor. Ellen’s innocent, embarrassed and proud little question had changed all that, promptly had made a place for her in Lorene’s affections. Entirely reassured, Ellen ran to telephone her mother. Molly was In the seventh heaven. Everything was marvelous. When the girl returned to the basement to remove her belongings, she was so lighthearted she felt almost giddy. What did she care for the other girls now? She was an assistant buyer with a salary of SSO a week. In no time at all the insurance would be paid again. Fifty dollars a week! That was wealth! Jenny was consumed with curiosity, eager to apologize, and to make friends again, but Ellen gave her no chance. She gathered up her comb, brush and the mirror she kept tucked away under the counter. She was pretending that Jenny, Mrs. Bondy and all the others had nothing to do with her. She knew well enough that a scandalous inference could and probably would be drawn from her sudden rise in the world, but she would not think of that. Nothing should be permitted to spoil her pleasure. What the others said could not affect her. It could, of course. But not then. n u u TURNING away from the counter, her arms full of her small possessions, Ellen walked straight into someone. “I beg your pardon!” she said quickly. “Aren’t you even going to give me a glance?” Larry Harrowgate exclaimed. For a second she was bewildered. Then her face lighted and her heart leaped upward. “Larry!” “I’ve been hanging around for fifteen minutes,” he was saying excitedly. “i thought you’d never come. Here—lemme help!” He attempted to relieve her of the jumbled assortment in her arms. Conscious of Jenny’s open mouth and equally open curiosity, Ellen flushed and shook her head. “You shouldn’t have come here,” she said quietly, moving away. “Aren’t you glad to see me?” “Os course I am, silly,” she told him with a confused laugh. How handsome he was! She loved the way he kept in step with her. She loved his calm obliviousness to the stir they were causing on the floor. They did look a trifle odd—the handsome youth in flannels and the girl in workaday store costume with neat paper cuffs and sensible shoes. Ellen knew that. But she felt a delicious flutter as he explained that he had learned from Salomon where she worked day times. That must mean something! It certainly would mean something if any one other than Larry were concerned. But for that harum-scarum, she already knew, to have an impulse was to obey it. “Our old friend Salomon was convinced my intentions were dishonorable,” he remarked impudently, glancing sidewise at her. “I had to tell him that I only meant to carry you off to lunch. By the way, am I carrying you off to lunch?” “I’m afraid not,” Ellen explained with a serious and businesslike air. “I’ve anew job and I mean to learn so much that I won't have time today.” “Nonsense,” he protested. “Sure-

The Tor-o-don released its hold upon Pan-at-lee just as the strange creature advancing toward it had said it might do. Charge it did, and in those close quarters there was no room to fence for openings. Instantly the two beasts locked in deadly embrace, each seeking the * other’s throat while the girl watched, taking no advantage of her chance to escape. The creature had said he was the friend of Om-at, her beloved. So she awaited, with drawn knife, the opportunity to do her bit in over-coming the Tor-u-don.

ly you aren't saying you prefer a career to me. IT! be back at 12 sharp.” Ellen saw that he did not for a minute believe she had refused his invitation. “You don’t understand,” she persisted half-heartedly. “I simply can’t go with you today. It’s my first day at this job—l’m to be a buyer—or an assistant buyer, I should say.” * * B HER tone rose triumphantly. But it was evident that being a buyer meant nothing to Larry. They had reached the elevator. When

Ellen rang the bell, he became convinced of her earnestness, and, at the same time, abruptly cross. “You .aren’t telling me,” he began in annoyance, “that after I’ve hung around in that stuffy basement all morning waiting for you, I can’t take you to lunch because of some stupid job!” “Just that,” she assured him. “I certainly rate with you, don’t I? I’ve a job, too, you know. Three orders for pictures and I haven’t done a tap on any of them. But I was glad enough to take time off.”

That the newcomer could do that, unaided, , she well knew was impossible. There were not many of these horried creatures in Pal-ul-don, but what few there were were a terror to all the women, for when the old bulls roamed the Waz-don’s country, woe betide the shes who fell in their path. With its tail the Tor-o-don sought one of Tarzan’s ankles, and tripped him. The two fell heavily to the cave floor, but in falling Tarzan managed to twist the beast beneath him and so fall on top.

“Maybe you’re better able to take time off,” she replied somberly. The elevator descended and the doors opened. Early shoppers straggled inside. Ellen said a stiff goodby. For a moment she thought he meant to say something further, then be bowed coldly and moved away. Larry had destroyed her pleasure In the new Job. The afternoon seemed long and dull and profitless. Lorene’s chatter and constant references to Steven Barclay grew disproportionately irksome. Ellen vaguely realized that she wanted to love Steven and to hate

Now the tail sought Tarzan’s throat. During the fall Tarzan had had to drop his knife that he might seize the shaggy body with both hands, and the weapon lay out of reach on the very edge of the recess. Furiously he sought to avoid the Tor-o-don’s clutching fingers that tried to pull his throat to its fangs; and all the time that deadly tail sought a hold until Tarzan felt it vapping itself about his neck.

Larry and that much of her discontent and dissatisfaction with the world was due to her double failure. The realization did not better matters. That night at Dreamland she did not expect Larry. All the afternoon she had tiled to make herself understand that it was entirely possible she might never see him again. So the evening was stale and flat to her; the dancing boring and her own popularity boring. She hated dancing with the men who frequented Dreamland, hated the pink

Pan-at-lee hovered about, breathless, her dagger ready, but she saw no chance to use it. The battle seemed to be going against Tarzan. Exerting a superhuman effort he suddenly buried his teeth in the jugular vein of the Tor-o-don. The two fighters rolled toward the edge ol' the recess—as the ape-man wished to do. But the choking tail had shut out the air from his lungs. His gasping lips were parted and his tongue protruded. Now his brain reeled and his sight grew dim.

and gilt hall, the tinny, mechanical music. But it was her job—even if It was to last only a short time now—and she set herself resolutely at it. Toward 10 o’clock she was dancing with a blank-faced, blue-eyed chap and attempting to Ignore his soiled collar and dubious conversation, when she happened to glance toward the stairway to see Larry entering.
