He Is engaged to BLIZABETH BOWES, a debutante, hut ihowa attentions to Ellen until his ■anew returns from Europe From a sense of gratitude.

Ellen's sister's fiance. The girl convinces herself that gratitude ran take the place of love Barclav has been married and divorced Scandal accompanied his divorce from LEDA GRAYSON, a notorious dancer Fearing this talk may be revived, he and Ellen agree to keep their marriage secret. Myra and Bert are to be married the same day as Ellen and Barclav Ellen goes to the offices of SYMES PRENDEROAST. Barclay's lawyers, where her fiance Is to sign papers settling a private fortune upon her. On the way she passes Dreamland, remembers Larry and bursts into tears. Rhe sends Larry a note telling him that she Is to be married. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO ELLEN walked slowly to the Park avenue law office. When she entered the luxurious, oak-paneled rooms and saw Steven sitting in an armchair, looking tired and worn, her mind suddenly played traitor. She found herself thinking of Larry, who never tired, who could dunce till dawn and by 10 o’clock be avid for tennis, swimming, boating. She thought of Larry, who had lied to her in deed if not in words, of Larry, who had dragged her pride into the dust; of Larry, who bad left her to bear her heartbreak as best she could. Rhe admired Steven, respected him, liked him, but what was to come of this union, now that she knew she had not forgotten and could not forget a scamp? Steven turned to smile at her. “Did you have a good time, darling?” he asked. “It was simply marvelous. Wait till you see what I bought!” “Sorry I couldn’t tag along,” he remarked, rising, “but I’ve been feeling a little seedy and the doctor thought I’d best rest up.” “You aren't ill!” she exclaimed Id alarm. “Certainly not,” he laughed. “But I told you in the beginning I’m a poor matrimonial risk. My heart’s *<n old crock and has been ever ince I strained it diving—more years ago than I want to tell.” Preoccupied with her own doubts, Ellen was easily reassured. ana turned, faced Louis Symes O and promptly disliked him. This graying, thin-faced man had, handled Steven Barclay’s legal affairs for years. The girl knew instinctively what Steven did not guess. Despite Symes’ suave politeness, she understood he believed his client to be making an unfortunate mistake. As soon as it was possible, Ellen attempted to clarify her own position. Steven and Symes were discussing figures and properties she could not comprehend. She plucked •t, Steven’s sleeve. “I don’t need a private checking •tecount,” she said with dignity. “If I need anything, there is no reason why I can’t come to you and ask you for it.” Symes stared at her cynically. But Steven was impatient. “It’s all settled,” he said. “The only thing left is to sign the papers.” “There’s a little more to it than

i that, Steven,” Symes put in. The | lawyer began again to talk of inI surance, of buildings located here, of land located there, of trust, of holding companies. And always, where one word would have served, he used three. Ellen’s head began to spin. All that jshe grasped was that a staggering sum of money was to be settled on • her outright—far, far too much. She did not want so much. The very thought of such sums frighti ened and bewildered her. Still she dared not intrude in the conversaj tion. She ohly could sit there, inwardly resentful and rebellious. “Bring on the papers,” Steven said at length. “Ellen is bored to ! tears. But it will be only a few minutes now, dear,” he promised, turning to her. Then to Symes again, “I’d like to sign the will, too.” a a a SYMES glanced at his watch. "They aren’t all ready yet,” he said. “Would you mind waiting a few minutes?” “I would mind,” Ellen spoke up frankly. “I’m really tired.” She appealed to Steven. “Do let’s go | and come back tomorrow or on the ; day we sail.” He might have argued, but somej thing wistful and weary in her I face checked him. Steven gave in. The settlements could be left I until the day following the wedding. Ellen took a malicious delight in the lawyer's surprise that .she, who had everything to gain, wished for delay. “Do you know,” she said to Steven after they were out on the street, “I wish you weren’t so frightfully rich.” “You’ve been so strange all afternoon,” he complained, vaguely apprehensive. "You don’t mean—” “I don’t mean anything,” she interrupted. “I only mean I don’t want so much money. It’s indecent to be so poor and then all at once just because you get married to become so rich." She put it childishly and he i laughed at her. “I couldn’t understand half you were saying,” she admitted sulkily. “But I gathered that your sister and nephew were going to lose a lot of money just because ” “My dear, that is something you must let me decide,” he said. “I am only taking a step I have long contemplated. My sister will by no means be left in poverty. But you, as my wife, must come first.” nun SOMEHOW Ellen was not thrilled as usual by his desire to care for her, to protect her. She was not a delicate bit of rare porcelain, that he should speak of her in that hushed tone. She had earned her own living and, if necessary, could earn it again. The interview with the lawyer had been disheartening. Horrible to sit with a man who clearly believes you to be a cheap and greedy little gold-digger. . . . There was an unpleasant side to having money, decidedly an un- ! pleasant side. As Steven assisted her into his car Ellen felt just a little as if she were being slowly buried beneath golden piles of money. There was something frightening in the reflection that there was literally nothing in the world for sale which she could not buy. Such a condition was stultifying to the

; imagination, stultifying to desire | and ambition. / She understood just then wny Myra had said so proudly that she and Bert were young and strong, and did not wish to have things made easy for them. But gradually Ellen became aware tha her mood was depressing and bewildering Steven. He had sunk back gloomily into the cushions and was staring straight ahead and away from her. It was her job to make him happy. With her eyes wide open, she had chosen that job. She set about bringing him to good humor again with charm and artifice so that in the end, over the dinner table, they were laughing and talking and things were all right again. All right, that is, with Steven. nan AFTER dinner he sent her out to Brooklyn in his car, but alone. She was glad of the chance to be alone, glad of the chance to face her own situation, to face her own soul. In the end she decided what any Rossi ter would decide. She would tread the path she had chosen and with courage and with grace. There should be no more of those moods to make Steven puzzled and unhappy. Home and in the shabby hall, she was struck again with the contradictions in herself. For she could not help comparing this place that was her home with the rich offices of Steven’s lawyers, with the subdued, graciously beautiful restaurant where they had dined, with the interiors of the smart Fifth avenue shops. She walked slowly up the stairs. Mrs. Clancy popped out of her apartment as she passed and called to her. “Your ma's home and Myra, too,” she observed. Ellen looked surprised. “Mike decided he’d be a man and stay there at the hospital by himself” chuckled the Irishwoman. “Funny thing—your maw’s tickled pink she’s so proud of him.” Ellen had started on again. But Mrs. Clancy had more to say. She evidently was somewhat embarrassed, for she kept twisting and twisting her apron. “I think you got a guest up there, too,” she whispered with a conspiratorial air. “I—well, I didn’t manage to see him good, but I think it’s the same young fellow was here for you a coupla weeks ago.” Ellen felt that she was suffocating as she stammered out her thanks, turned away and ran up the stairs. She must get this settled at once and forever, while she had the courage. If she saw Larry now he must know, must understand that she meant what she had written. aa HER keys were in the lock and she had tugged back the door. She stopped short on the threshhold. Myra, already wearing the new blue pajamas, was dividing her attention between a bowl of strawberries and the evening newspaper. Molly, dainty as a sprite in the voluminous black pajamas, was curled upon the couch with a book from the library. No one else was present. For a moment the surge of relief made Ellen feel actually dizzy. If Myra, in that quick upward look, saw anything amiss, Molly’s extravagant praises of all the new and beautiful clothes and her delight at the things they had chosen for her, covered all other emotion for a space. “Lovely, lovely, lovely,’ Molly was babbling. “Myra and I have had everything on and off a dozen times. The bedroom looks like a society bazaar. You should see.” Not until the new clothes, the

TARZAN THE TERRIBLE

Tarzan began to wonder how he would dismount from the gryf. and still keep command over it. He determined to test the matter while it was still daylight. He could have swung into the trees above, but that, he knew, was‘merely to again invite being held prisoner by the gyrf. So when the creature halted a moment, Tarzan slid to the ground, struck it a careless blow below its dank as though in dismissal, and walked indifferently away. <The beast gave a low, rumbling sound, and without a glance at Tarzan turned toward the river, where £ proceeded to drink.

shopping trip, the visit of the lawyers. not until Mike’s rebellion, not until everything that had happened during the day had been discussed, was Ellen given the chance to ask what was in her mind. “Did I—l have a guest earlier?” Myra and Molly exchanged a glance. “Why—no,” Molly answered. She seemed to puzzle a moment and then she said brightly, “Oh, I know what you mean. You must have seen Mrs. Claney downstairs. *‘l guess she caught a glimpse of that good-looking young man that

called here earlier. He wanted to sell us a set of books. Didn’t he stop to see Mrs. Clancy, too?” “No,” Ellen replied. “I guess he didn’t stop there.” She was almost certain that Molly had lied. But she was glad that Molly had. The last thing on earth that she wanted was any discussion of Larry Harrowgate. CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE THE next two days passed at such a pace that Ellen felt guilty when she took time to snatch a few hours sleep. There were so many, many things to do. Such

Being hungry and thirsty himself, the apeman unslung his bow, and cautiously set forth to search for food. Then minutes later he had slain an antelope. Throwing the carcass over his shoulder he trotted back to the spot where he had left the gryf, which was now emerging from the river. Tarzan gave the weird call of the Tor-o-don and the gryf, answering, slowly toward him. Part of the meat he tossed to its greedy jaws. “Perhaps if it knows I will feed it,” mused Tarzan, “the will keep within calL”

things as trunks and laundry tags' to think of. There was that hurried trip for a riding habit, when Steven told Ellen they would ride in London. Oh, there were millions of things to do. The Rossiter household moved back and forth from the Brooklyn apartment to the hospital until Mike became as feverish with excitment as his elders. Molly’s suggestion that the ceremonies take place in the boy’s hosjpital room was vetoed flatly. There were the hours spent in

Finishing his own repast, the ape-man climbed high among the swaying branches, and settled himself comfortably for the night. In the morning he dropped lightly to the ground, entered the little pool, and after a refreshing bath in its cold waters ate the remainipg deer meat, adding to it some fruit and berries growing nearby in abundance. Then several times he called to the gyrf—and waited. There was no response, and Tarzan guessed he had seen the last of his great mount. So he set his face toward A-lur. pinning his faith upon his knowledge of the Ho-don tongue, his strength and wit.

the cunning two rooms, kitchenet and bath, where Myra and Bert at last were to begin the great adventure. Fortunately this was only two doors from the old apartment. Ellen and Myra were in and out of the place at all times of the day and night. The girls sewed on chintz draperies and slip-covers. They hemmed tea-towels by the dozen, while Bert, humming in that tuneless way of his, lacquered a bedroom suite he and Myra had bought for a song. The living room furniture was overstuffed, a comfortable and ugly

In the cool of the morning, along the Joyous stream, he found the way extremely pleasant. As he neared the city he marveled at the strange beauty of its architecture. At last he began to meet people as he came closer to the outer walls. He appeared to arouse no suspicions or curiosity in their minds since, at a distance, there was little to distinguish him from a native either in his general conformation or his color. Tarzan had made his plans, and did not hesitate to carry them out. Boldly, he strode into the streets of the Ho-don City of A-lur.

suite bought on the installment plan. Ellen was too wise to suggest that she be allowed to help. Myra was ecstatic at finding the tawdry things that would fit her budget. Late in the afternoon of the day before the wedding Ellen went out to buy tacks for Bert. She found them sooner than she expected and hurried back. The door had been left on the latch and she stepped into the disordered living room, then stepped out as quickly, her heart pounding and her face suffused with crimson. (To Be Continued)
