NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FORTY-TWO fContinued) Friday morning she read in the society columns that Larry HarrowBate was to sail for Europe with his mother in four days. Four days! The world went black. He would hr gone so soon and she had no way to hold him. A dozen times that day she started toward the telephone to call him; a dozen times she restrained herself. As the hours dragged by, Ellen thought that she would dip of sheer heartsickness. Molly noticed she was drooping and tried to dose her with a favored tonic, but Ellen refused to be dosed. a a a SICK with misery she went again again to Dreamland Friday night. No hope of Larry tonight. If he were sailing it meant no hope at. all. She was restless, impatient and annoyed with her partners, unable to keep her eyes from straying over their shoulders to the door. Oh, wh.v, didn’t Larry come! At half past 10 she saw him. Ellen was not dancing and did not. see him coming up the stairs. She caught sight of him when lie stopped at the ticket booth. His back was toward her. The girl did not move but sat very still as one in the presence of a miracle. In her heart was a sense of exquisite peace. He turned. She started from her chair, a greeting on her lips. She saw him pause, sweep the room with eager eyes. Their glances met. For a moment the trembling, confused, almost deliriously excited girl did not understand. It seemed to her that Larry flushed, and then the warmth left her and she went icy cold. For Larry's gaze moved past, her. Without a sign of recognition, he strolled to Tony's table. She heard him laugh as he asked Tony to dance with him. For a long time Ellen remained seated. The room buzzed with voices. Even the clatter of traffic and the faint, faraway noises of the street seemed only to accentuate the gaiety of the dance floor. They were happy, the little dancing girls in their flimsy frocks, eager and expectant, excited as they laughed up into the eyes of their

partners. Ellen knew that mood. She remembered when she too had been as jubilant. “It’s all finished,” she thought impersonally, almost as If she were thinking of another girl. “It’s all finished between Larry and me. It’s as completely ended as if It never had happened.” He was here in this very room and he had wot spoken to her. He had turned away indifferently to dance with another girl. Ellen meant nothing to him, never had meant anything to him. The fact that they had not met for weeks.— that meant nothing either. “He’s forgotten me,” she told herself in endless and bewildered pain. “I'm no more to him than a girl he might have met on a ferry boat ride. I’m nothing to him and I’ve thought of nothing except him for months.” u * n CHE clenched her hands then and bit her lips, determined not to cry here in this noisy ballroom, before all these people. She tried to think that some of the other girls about her had suffered as she was suffering. She tried to tell herself that the pain in her heart could not last. No pain lasted forever. If she raised her head it might be better. But she knew that with her slightest movement the tears would come in torrents. She continued to sit, head bent, like a girl made of marble. Someone dropped into the chair opposite. For the moment Ellen was blind and deaf. She heard Larry's voice and slowly raised her head. He was sitting across the table from her in the place he had so often occupied. As always her hurt pride could not resist him. “Larry,” she whispered. He leaned toward her and caught her clenched hands. He was laughing excitedly as if he himself did not know why he laughed. His eyes was bright as the girl’s. “It’s wonderful to see you again,” he exclaimed over and over on long, uneven breaths. His eyes clung to hers. Ellen struggled to free her hands. Pride returned and with it came anger at this man who had hurt so cruelly. Larry only pressed her hands more tightly. He would not let her go. “Aren’t you glad to see me?” “I saw you when you came in,” she reminded him in a colorless tone. “Good God, Ellen,” he cried breathlessly, “What do you think I’m made of? Do you think I could talk to you, dance with you. pass the time of day with you, remembering you'd thrown me over for another man? A wave of color flooded her face. She might have known it was his jealousy and hurt that made him want to wound her so cruelly. “But now I’ve got you back!” Larry was saying exultantly. “Tony told me you hadn’t—” He interrupted himself and looked straight into her eyes. “Tell me yourself. Ellen.” he commanded her. “Tell me you didn’t get married.” ,

j CHAPTER FORTY-THREE T? LLEN’S heart was beating tempestuously. Larry waited for his answer. Suddenly the girl said what she had not meant to say. “No—l—l—l didn’t get married.” Over and over she had told her sick and guilty soul It would be so easy to explain everything. Now it was too late. Ellen never had seen Larry more deeply moved, more desperately serious. “You couldn’t! You couldn’t marry any one else. Tell me you couldn’t, because you belong to me!” “That’s an odd thing for you to say,” she faltered. “I know it is,” he agreed with a short laugh. She sat perfectly still, her blue eyes on his and one of her hands clasped in Larry’s. He leaned nearer. “You mean I hadn't any right to say that?” “I guess that’s what I mean,” she said, a little uncertainly. “You see you didn't say a word.” “It didn’t occur to me,” he said, faintly scowling. “It’s damned hard for me to be honest now. It's hard for me to remember how smug and complacent I was during those days before I got that last note of yours. “It’s easy enough to remember how I’ve felt since—half crazy from thinking I’d lost you. “Do you know why I came here tonight?” he demanded. “No, I don’t know.” “It was because I thought it would help cure me—help me see this place was no fairyland. When I saw you again and thought you were lost to me, I almost turned and ran. “Then I thought I'd have to show you that you couldn’t hurt me, though really you’d hurt me worse than any one ever will again. So I danced with Tony. She told me —and that’s all there is!” “That day you wrote the note to me at the store—you didn’t feel this wav then?” Ellen questioned. “No, I didn’t,” Larry confessed, groping for the words, “I wanted mother to meet you because I liked you. “I liked you a lot from the first, Ellen, but I didn’t realize I loved you, that you were my whole life. And then mother ” "Didn’t want to meet me,” Ellen completed the sentence. He went on, neither denying or affirming her statement. “I was content that things .should drift along with us until you showed me they just wouldn’t drift.” “But you were engaged,” she pointed out, wondering that the fact that had once made all her days so wretched seemed now of no importance. “True again. But that didn’t seem important to me. I did think of telling you, thought of it several times, but I never seemed to find just the right occasion. You know how that is, don’t you?” nun HE stopped and then went on again. “You’d understand better if you knew Liz Bowes. She slips in and out of two or three engagements every season. “There was a time when I thought I cared for her enough to be engaged, even to think of marrying her. Her family was delighted and mother was too. But then Liz came home from Europe. I had your last note and knew I’d lost everything, everything in the world, Ellen. “I went out to your house that night, Ellen. Did you know that? Your mother told me you never wanted to see me again.” “Mother did what she thought was best,” Ellen said slowly. “You hadn’t any idea what I went through that night,” Larry said passionately. She shook her head in correction. “I think I do know.” “How do you know? Tell me how?” he demanded hungrily. But she only could look at him, her lips unsteady, her eyes bright with tears and her hands pressed in his. “Can you understand, Ellen, how a man might subconsciously think a girl would wait when there wasn’t

TARZAN THE TERRIBLE

As Tarzan pretended to be receiving a message from the god. Jad-ben-Otho, the two women dropped to their knees, awe-struck. ‘ Rise," he said at last, “my father has spoken. He has told me that this maiden is also a princess, betrothed to the chief of a tribe where Ta-den, your beloved, is even now not a prisoner, but an honored guest. Pan-at-lee is her name." O-10-a turned questioningly to her slave, who nodded, her simple mind unable to fathom Tarzans designs. "It is oven as be AajW" she whtsperedr

any reason for her to wait except that she loved him? "Can you imagine how a man might be so stupid and conceited and selfish? If you'll only forgive me, you’ll never be sorry. Her heart overflowed with love and forgiveness and warm pain. “Why, Larry, sweetheart, don’t talk that way,” she said gently. “I won’t let you say such things about yourself. Os course, I forgive you. I could forgive you anything.” He seized her hand and pressed it to his lips. "Ah, you’re sweet, sweet, sweet,” he muttered.

Skillfully, so that no suspicion would be aroused in O-10-a’s mind, Tarzan sought to ,question her if any strangers had recently come to A-lur, especially a woman of another race. The princess hesitated before replying, and then: “Only rumors reach the Forbidden Garden. Os them I can not speak without justly incurring the wrath of my father." "In the name of Jad-ben-Otho. whose hands hold the fate of your beloved, I command you* to speak,” said Tarzan sternly. The girl paled. t* “Have mercy!" she cried, “and I will tell you all I know." "Tell what?" demanded a voice tom the shrubbery behind them.

“Does this mean we’re engaged?” she asked faintly. “You bet it does,” he laughed. “It’ll be no long engagement, either. We’ll go tomorrow to get the rings.” “Isn’t this fun?” Ellen said, in a long breath. “We’re both of us crazy, just plain crazy! Your mother will hate me. Don’t tell me she won’t, because I know. “The people you know will call me a taxi dancer. I heard Lona Clendenning that night, you remember—that night at your studio. But all that just doesn’t seem impor-

tant! The important thing is that I love you, Larry!” “The important thing is that we love each other, and that we found it out in time,” he amended. AFTER that they talked and talked. Dancers, chattering and laughing, drifted past the little table, but to Ellen the others were only dim shapes, vague as the music which seemed to come from so far away. Only Larry was real. Only Larry and the fact that he loved her and the swift plans they were making.

The three turned to see the figure of Kotan emerging from the foliage. He scowled angrily, but seeing Tarzan. his expression became one of surprise not unmixed with fear. “Dor-ul-Otho!" he exclaimed. T did not know it was you; but there are places," he continued boldly, “where even the gods son may not walk, and this, the Forbidden Garden of Kotan, is one.

They arranged their own future and Molly's and Mike’s. Ellen laughed at Larry's desire to adopt a ready-made family, but she was touched by it, too. It would be the best thing in the world for him declared irresponsible Larry. He really meant it. They talked of his work and of how Ellen would help him. Mentally they hung his pictures on the walls of the Metropolitan and on the walls of the Louvre. They selected a place to live and

Then the king led Tarzan through a closely guarded secret passage. Without a word the two proceeded to Ko-tan’s private chambers. Passing through the crowded thronp room. Tarzan caught a glimpse of Lu-don. the high priest, li-tening to an under-priest. As the curtains dropped behind Tarzan and Ko-tan, the high priest gave an order. “Fetch the slave of the princess to the t e mple, at once,” comnjanded Lu-don, and his cruel countenance glowed with • triumphant expression that boded no good lor Tarzan of the Apes.

Afterward they stepped out* on the balcony to watch the rosy, flaring lights of Broadway and Larry laughed excitedly because the glow turned Ellen’s hair to a deep sullen red. As she leaned dreamily against him, Ellen thought that tomorrow she would tell him of the one thing which had not been mentioned. (To Be Con tinned)
