(til* In love with LARRY fiARROWOATE. yount ortUt whom *he meet* at Dreamland, a dance hall where aha works as hostess, Larrv Is emtsaed to ELIZABETH ROWES, debutante. but pays attentions to Ellen until hts fiancee returns from Europe. Befievinf Larry Is lost, to her. Ellen agrees to marry STEVEN BARCLAY. 57 years old and wealthy, who has paid hospital expenses for her brother MiKE. Injured In a street accident. Ellen knows such a marriage will provide for her mother. MOLLY ROB--BITER, and make It possible lor her sister MYRA to marry BERT ARMSTEAD. Barclay has been married and divorced. Scandal accompanied his divorce from LEDA GRAYSON, dancer, and. fearing this talk may be revived, he and Ellen agree to keep their marriage secret until they sail for Europe. Barclay wanta to settle a fortune on Ellen, but she persuades him to wait until after the eeTemonv. Barclay's lawyer SYMES, regards Ellen as a golddigger. In a double marriage In a small Connecticut town, Barclay and Ellen and Mvra and Armstead are married. Barclay and his bride drive to his Long Island home. The girl Is terrified, knowing her marriage to be a mistake. She reads In a newspaper that Larry’s engagement to Elizabeth Bowes Is broken. That night when Barclay comes to her Bedroom Ellen faints, recovers consciousness to find Barclay has suffered a heart attack. She calls for help. Doctors, nurses and Bymea, the lawyer. arrive. Symes has been trying to reach Barclay all day. He tells Ellen the papers proving Barclay’s divorce from Leda Gravson have been stolen. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT fContinued.) “Unless the papers are found, and I doubt that they can, Leda Grayson has the prior claim. I’m afraid the courts will side with her. New York courts always frown on divorces obtained outside their jurisdiction." "You mean exery one will think Steven knew or I knew all the time he wasn’t free?” Ellen heard herself saying. Symes hesitated, was silent. Ellen knew the lawyer believed that the world never would accept her story of the night in Steven’s home. CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE SYMEs looked at the white-faced girl. He cleared his throat. “It’s not so bad as all that,” he said awkwardly. “It’s ns bad as it can possibly be," Ellen declared passionately. “That I—that I should drag Stevven’s name through such a scandal ” “Now. you’re being foolish, my dear,” the lawyer protested. “Steven was one of my closest friends; you know that. ‘But you and I must think now of your position. That is what Steven would want us to do.” He frowned, considering the practical aspects of the matter, and then spoke again. ’ Unfortunately, appearances count for a, great deal in law,” he began reluctantly. “Appearances are against you. Steven, in his anxiety to spare you disagreeable publicity, made the marriage appear—well, gather unusual. “He went to great pains to keep the marriage secret. The license that was not to be filed, the friends who weren’t informed, the newspapers left in ignorance of his intended marriage. You can see how it looks." “I oan see.” said the girl. There was silence. Ellen's body trembled as though she were having a chill. Her tortured eyes did not leave the lawyer’s face. “I’m imagining all this—it’s not true—l’ll wake up soon,” she tried

to tell herself. Then she would become conscious again of Symes’ troubled face. mmm SHE sat very still while the bitter thoughts thronged upon her. The marriage with Steven had been no marriage at all. The world would believe either that Steven had deceived an innocent girl with a mock marriage, or that she, Ellen Rosslter, in her eagerness to capture a rich man, had been reckless of the fact that the man was the husband of another woman. If only Steven were alive —but Steven was deaid! And because a cruel, grasping woman had crept to Mexico and bribed a court, his name was to ,be dishonored and with it the name of the girl he loved. ‘But the divorce was announed in all the newspapers nearly two years ag6,” Ellen said, in a voice that was without life, without hope. “I know it,” Symes agreed with a short laugh. “But you underestimate Miss Grayson’s ingenuity, Steven announced the divorce. ‘‘All the proceedings, if you remember, were kept secret. Miss Grayson was abroad at the time, had gone even before Steven went to Mexico. She’s been dancing there ever since. “She admits there'd been a separation—a sort of ‘trial’ she calls it. But she’s back in New York now to tell the world she never consented to a divorce. “She even has an explanation for her long silence,” he continued. "Says she knew nothing of the divorce until a few weeks ago, and then sailed at once to have it set aside. A bare-faced lie—but we can’t prove it,* I’m afraid.” U M ELLEN said nothing at all. There; was nothing at all to be said. “If only Steven hadn’t been such a rich man—” she heard Symes’ voice from a long way off. “Can’t we do anything?” she asked pitifully. "We can save you from reporters for a while,” he said, frowning. “We’ll keep mum until the whole thing comes up in court. “Why do we have to go to court?” Ellen cried. “Leda Grayson will fight to the last ditch and be delighted at the chance.” “Fight for what? Steven loved me. She can’t take that away!” The girl’s voice was courageous and steady now. “She won’t take the money, either,” Symes responded grimly. “We have plenty of witnesses to his wishes. No matter how you come out in the fight to be recognized as his wife, you’ll get the money. “I have those settlements all drawn up. God, if I’d only let him sign them when he wanted to! “We can prove, any way,” he continued, “that you had no suspicion that the marriage was bigamous. Your mother was there, your sister ” “Stop! stop this instant!” Ellen broke in with shock and pain. “I don't want the money! I’ve told you again and again. It’s not the money that’s driving me frantic.” “My dear child, that money belongs to you,” he protested, startled. “Steven wanted you to have it. That

was almost the last thing he was thinking of—your future. You can’t throw away a fortune.” “I can’t!” Ellen repeated hysterically. “Why can’t I? Is that what you were thinking of? Is that what you meant by court? “Steven gave me everything and now—now that he’s dead you think I’d fight for more, drag his name through the newspapers, have peor pie thinking that he thought so little of my honor ?” * * * SYMES was genuinely amazed by the girl’s earnestness. Patiently he pointed out that the money was hers, that only a court battle stood between her and possession. Patiently he pointed out that with the money she could go anywhere, seek new scenes, new people, new interests. But Ellen stopped him. She looked up to him and asked, “But if it weren’t for the money you and I could do for Steven this thing that—he can’t do for himself?” “Keep the marriage with you a secret,” he answered thoughtfully. “I sappose it could be managed. Yes, I’m certain it could be managed, but it’s a mad idea. Are you sure of what you’re doing?” “Quite sure,” she said steadily. “I don’t believe I’ve ever met so quixotic a young woman." “It’s not only Steven I’m thinking of,” Ellen admitted in a shamed, honest voice. “I’m thinking of myself. I don’t think I could bear the publicity. “I want to get away—l want to go back to being the girl I used to be.” Small and dazed, In a crumpled white linen dress that was ncwhiter than her exhausted face, Ellen sat looking at the lawyer and pleaded that this part of her life should be blotted out as though it never had been. “Certainly you can,” he said gruffly, untruthfully. m m m SHE knew that he had lied, but was grateful for the falsehood. “In the first place I’ll arrange to get the license for you,” Symes went on practically. “I saw the Rev. Mr. Southey yesterday and I know he’ll be only too ready to forget his part in the ceremony. “He was considerably upset when I spoke to him. But about the license—how long was the filing of it to be held up? Do you know?” “Until after we’d sailed,” Ellen said on a half sob. “Steady—steady,” Symes warned her, but she was silent again and composed. “How many people know of the marriage besides your immediate family?” “Why, no one,” Ellen began and then stopped. “Mrs. Clancy, a neighbor of ours, knows,” she amended. “Mrs. Clancy and Lorene Elcott.” “Can you trust them?” ‘•l’m sure I can.”. “You understand that a situation of this sort is extremely difficult to keep hidden,” Symes said. “You understand that any newspaper would be eager to buy such a sensation. Can you trust Mrs. Clancy?” Ellen nodded. “I can answer for myself, for the nurse, and for the physicians. Dr. Wescott doesn’t think any way—” “I know,” Ellen interrupted. “I know that he didn’t think I was married to Steven. I could tell from the first.” "Physicians see much strange things,” Symes put in uncomfortably. “How about Fergus?” she whispered. “I’d forgotten him. But he hardly counts. He’d never seen you before, had he? Doesn’t know your name, or where you live?” “I gave him Mrs. Clancy’s phone number and asked him to say that Ellen wanted her mother but—that’s all.” m m u EVEN as Elien speke Fergus entered quietly, softly. Seeing him frightened the girl vaguely. Fer-

TARZAN THE TERRIBLE

The high priest paled as Tarzan ordered him to liberate the living sacrifices. “It is a sacrilege!” he cried. Raging within him was a conflict of- fear that this might be the god's son, and his hope that it was not. But he decided to take no chance, and his fear won. "The son of Jad-ben-Otho has spoken,” he said at last. “Remove the bars!” When this was done, the prisoners, believing a miracle had saved them, crowded about ihemselves on their knees, and raised their voices in thanksgiving.

gus seemed to menace her frail security. She felt he distrusted and disliked her as much as she disliked and distrusted him. "What is it?" Symes asked. “Dr. Westcott is Just leaving, sir,” Fergus said. “He’s going to report Mr. Barclay’s death and wanted to see you first.” “All right. I’ll see him,” Symes answered, rising. “By the way,” he continued, “do you know if Mr. Barclay’s sister is in town, or not? She should be notified.” “Mrs. Harrowgate returned from Europe several weeks ago,” Fergus

replied, noticing, as Symes did not. that the girl cm the divan seemed to grow white as he spoke the words. “Well, get in touch with her son and notify him of his uncle’s death. His number’s not listed, but I have it here.” It was Larry Harrowgate’a telephone number that Symes repeated. CHAPTER FORTY ELLEN sat stunned and quiet for a long time after the two men left her. iArry Harrowgate was Steven’s nephew! Over and over again she

Now Tarzan signified that he would leave the temple. As they departed he noticed a small ornate building standing entirely detached from the ethers. He saw that its door and windows were barred. “To what purpose is that building dedicated?” he asked of Ludon. “It is nothing—the place is vacant,” replied the high priest nervously, as he moved hurriedly toward the gateway leading back to the palace. Soon Tarzan, with the king and his warriors, passed from the sacred precintcs of the temple grounds, and he thought no more of the‘incident.

One question the ape-man wished to ask but dared not, for he knew that in the minds of many of these creatures still lay a suspicion as to his genuineness. That was whether they was now or had been within the city of A-lur a female of the same race as his. That night Ko-tan, the king, gave a great banquet in his honbr. During the serving, Tarzan noticed a black slave hovering constantly near him. Several times he saw an expression of startled recognition in the fellow’s eyes as he looked at the honored guest. %

whirling and a man raked leaves. Beyond the tennis courts there was the sparkle of blue water. The cars that had stood in the driveway were gone. There was in that peaceful scene no hint of the tragedy that had befallen Steven Barclay. Ellen wondered why she could not cry again and had only the exhausted conviction that she should be weeping for him who had loved her. “It’s all over.” she said half aloud. “I’m going home.” Ah, to escape from this luxurious, hideous place!

Later on he caught the fellow whispering to another slave. The ape-man did not recall ever having seen the Waz-don before, and presently dismissed the thing from his mind. The king was surprised and disgusted to see his godly guest had no desire to gorge himself upon the rich food, or drink the villainous brews. To Tarzan the banquet was a dismal bore. But the Ho-dons enjoyed it immensely, until at last they succumbed to the stupefying effects of the liquor. Then Tarzan and the slaves were the only conscious creatures in the great banquet hall.

Molly, of Myra running into the familiar kitchen and chattering, of Mike looking up at her so confidently, was like a dream. Ellen’s eyes ached for the familiar sights, for her own ‘umbled bedroom. fbr the marble-topped bureau with the stain from spilled perfume. Here In this hateful room she stood waiting for them to smuggle her away as though she were a criminal. She knew that Symes pitied her and she did not want pity. (To Be Continued.)
