CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX (Continued) They reached the hospital and saw Mike wheeled away. In a long, white brightly lighted hall, heavy with the smell of ether and iodoform, the three women waited. Again and again Myra or Ellen would importune a crisp, starched nurse for news that did not come. They started at every ring of the telephone and then sank back, looking at each other with bleak eyes and faltering hearts. The great hospital seemed to have

swallowed up little Mike as though he had never existed. At 11 o’clock Ellen, haggard and heavy-eyed, remembered that she had not notified Lorene of her absence from the store. She whispered to Myra and slipped to the telephone, haunted by a vision of Molly’s face. If anything happened to MJke she was afraid that Molly . . . Lorene answered the call and Ellen tore her thoughts from the unthinkable future. She explained what had happened and was back

on the bench again. Hours never had been so long or so empty. It was 12 o’clock. Then 1, 2 and nearly 3. Still no word. Dr. Ellis appeared, but he could tell them nothing. At 3 o'clock he approached again. * M- n THIS time Ellen read the news on his weary face before he spoke. Good news! She had not known until that moment how great her fear had. been. “He’s going to pull through,” the doctor told them. “We were afraid for a while that he wouldn’t rally from the operation.” “Oh!” Molly began to sob. She struggled to her feet, tears raining down her face, the first tears she had shed since the accident. Her cold, desperate fingers tugged at the doctor’s sleeve. “Where is he? Let me go to him —at once.” “I’m afraid you can’t now,” Dr. Ellis said gravely. The nurse, standing at his elbow, intervened. “That will be impossible. The little boy is very tired now and sick. He’s in a ward with a number of other children who also can not be disturbed. “Our visiting hours are on Tuesday and Thursday at 3 o’clock. In view of the circumstances, if you come early tomorrow we might make an exception.” Ellen’s eyes appealed to Dr. Ellis. “But won’t Mike need a room by himself, special nurses and all those things?” she asked. “I don’t think it will be necessary,” he answered slowly. She knew that he was thinking of their poverty. She stepped nearer, and said in a low voice that Mike must have every attention. CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN THE doctor’s distressed c;:s peered uncertainly at the tense, trembling girl. He had known Ellen for years. “My dear child, a private room isn’t necessary,” he said. “I know you well enough to tell you you can’t afford it. Mike might be a little more comfortable if things were otherwise, but he’s getting the best of care. “You understand, Ellen, private nurses, private rooms —those things have to be paid for in advance.” He had put it all as gently as possible, but the girl burned with agonizing shame. She wanted to cry out to him that it wasn’t necessities he wanted for Mike, but all the luxuries, all the comforts that only money would buy. Instead she turned abruptly away. ‘‘Come on, mother,” she said

quietly. “We must go.” When they reached home, Molly still was crying bitterly, softly, hopelessly. Steven’s car stood in front of the apartment house. Lorene must have told him what had happened. Ellen saw him before the others did and thought that never had she been so glad to see any one. She ran from the cab to meet him. As she felt the clasp of his hands and looked into his anxious, troubled eyes, she thought she could break into tears of thanksgiving. Prom then on everything went as she had known it would. There was no need for her to ask anything. Steven arranged it all. He telephoned the hospital and ordered a private room for Mike. He arranged for special nurses. He made an appointment for his personal physician to call at the hospital to see the child. He reserved a room at the hospital for Molly so she might stay there, if she wished. They saw Mike that night. He was conscious, but tired and wan, too sick from ether and exhaustion to smile at those who loved him. He only turned his rumpled, boyish head and looked at them. The girls left then, but Molly stayed on. Queer, topsy-turvy days followed, j Molly spent day and night alike at the hospital. The two girls went on working, but with Molly and Mike away everything at home seemed different.

TARZAN THE TERRIBLE

Attempting to trick the gryf, Tarzan swung swiftly through the trees, this time taking a zig-zag course, and selecting a path where the trail beneath was most difficult. Dense underbrush and huge fallen trees were there, yet when the man and girl reached the opposite side of the gorge, there, too, waa the gryf. It seemed useless, but, turning, the two retraced their high-flung flight through the ancient forest of Kor-ul-gryf.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

THE sisters spent so much time j at the hospital that there was no time to keep the apartment going smoothly. * Still Ellen refused Steven’s offer to provide a maid, refused also to take a vacation from the store. With debts piling up so rapidly, she dared not. She knew Steven did not consider the money he had spent for Mike as a debt, but she was determined the sum should be repaid. One thing Mike’s illness had accomplished. The immediate exigencies had thrust into the background of Ellen’s mind all thought

The result was the same—no, not quite; it was worse; fop another gryf had joined the first, and now both waited beneath the tree in which the ape-man and the pithecanthropus girl had stopped. So near and yet so far loomed the cliff with its caves—and safety. It was maddening. And now a strange cry came from above them in the gorge. “Whee-oo! Wheeoo!" it sounded, coming closer. The gryls toel<jp raised their heads and looked in the direction erf this interruption.

of Larry Harrowgate. When she remembered him it was with pain, but pain was routine now. Larry had gone with a part of her own youth. The gaiety and laughter he represented were gone forever for her, but there was no time to grieve about it. Mike's improved health, doing her work from day to day—these were the important things. Other people helped. Salomon was kind, indulgent of her frei quent absences. Lorene was kind, ; too. Ellen felt she hardly deserved ! so much thoughtfulness. What had she done for Lorene or

for Salomon that they should take such pains to make things easy for her? Above all, what had she done for Steven that his business, his other interests, his other friends should give way before her immediate need of him? Ellen did need him. She had hours of weakness and despair. Mike did not rally from the operation as they had hoped he would. To be sure, he was cross and irritable, but those healthy signs were | outweighed by spells of languor i when nothing interested or amused him.

One of them uttered a queer, rumbling sound quite unlike their former bellowings. Immediately the “Whee-oo!” responded. The gryfs repeated their rumbling, and the answer kept coming closer. Tarzan asked the girl what it meant, but Pan-at-lee knew not. Then they saw the author of the cry, and she exclaimed in despair: “A Tor-o-don!” The creature, walking erect and carrying a stick in one hand, advanced at a slow, lumbering gait, directly toward the gryfs,-which moved aside as though afraid.

STEVEN always could be counted on in these queer, strange days. It was almost as if he had always been the friend and confidante of the Rossiters. They depended on him and he never failed them. One of his cars constantly was at the door to carry the girls wherever they wished to go. He rrtnembered to keep flow-era at the hospital, remembered a daily surprise for Mike. Myra and Molly admired him. looked up to him, adored him. Even Bert one morning shyly c-tnfessed to Ellen that her beau was practically perfect.

Her beau? Ellen flushed and then let Bert’s statement go uncorrected. Her beau? Was Steven her beau? She realized that she was thinking more and more of him. So often she had said to Myra, “How would we have managed if it hadn't been for Steven?” She knew the neighborhood was wondering about the car that was always at the door. Her beau? Where could one find a beau moro kind, more considerate? (To Be Continued)

—By Edgar Rice Burroughs

Tarzan watched intently. As the Tor-o-don came close to the gryfs, one snapped at the beast man viciously. Instantly the Tot'-o-don sprang in and began beating the huge creature across its face. To the ape-man’s amazement, the gryf, that might easily have crushed the Tor-o-don, cringed like a whipped cur. “Wheeoo!” shouted the Tor-o-don, and the gryf came slowly toward him. A whack on its horn brought it, to a stop. The Tor-o-don walked behind tip beast, clambered up its tail and seated itrelf astride the huge back.
