He was late ahd as tfllcn sat waiting in the lobby of a 'mart hotel she grew absurdly nervous. What had delayed him? What could have delayed him? She tried try appear easy and as much at horflr. as the others about her. She kept her small hands folded and her small feet quiet and averted her eyes from the clock. All At, once she saw Larry swing through the revolving doors. Again the rlf.y was glorious! He glanced hurriedly about and caught her eyes. Both smiled with infinite content and Larry moved swiftly across the room. "Were starting out with the biggest, chrysanthemum you ever saw,” he said, tucking her hanei under his nrlh. "It's in a window around the corner. An exact match, Ellen, for your hair!” A moment later they were pointing out to an interested florist the bloom in question. The great, shaggy, russet, flower was pinned firmly to Ellen's coat collar. a a a {JHE was in ecstasy on the trip O down the avenue. To have Larry here, to know that he was proud of her and that he loved her was inerrdible. The day itself was incredible. The air was cool and sweet, the sky a bright, electric blue anel the sun so brilliant that all the busses seemed freshly painted. The shop windows never had displayed merchandise more enticing, moorc tempting, more desirable., Ellen wanted to danee and sing. Instead, she sedately matched her pace to his and felt the petals of the shaggy mum against her cheek with every step. They reached Thirty-fourth street and a small, select jewelry shop, a shop so aristocratic that for decades it had carried no sign to guide the shopper. As she walked down a long, silken rug into an atmosphere of almost cathedra 1-like austerity, Ellen tried to look casual and dignified but did not succeed. .She looked exactly what she was —a rapturous, half embarrassed young girl with flushed cheeks and brilliant eyes. Larry was as absorbed in the purchase as she was. The two bent

| their elbows on the shinning counter and pondered over dozens of rings while the watching clerk suppressed amused smiles. The engagement ring was an easy choice, a clear blue diamond guardled by emeralds. Both exclaimed at I once over it. Larry said they did not need a box. Ellen trembled, blushed, agreed. Glory flashed on her Anger and glory flashed in her heart. Selecting the wedding ring was more difficult. The clerk brought out a second tray and then a third. All the rings were dignified and simple, so similar that to any except lovers there would seem to be no choice. ‘‘Here it is!” Larry cried out suddenly. He held up a slim platinum cir- ! clet set with diamonds. It might have been a of the ring at home that was Sicked in Ellen’s dressing table. Her face paled with the memory. "Don't you like it?” Larry asked, surprised. “Try it on.” Ellen's hands were clasped behind her back. "Why, I—don’t you think it would be better to have the wedding ring more simple?” she appealed, confused and horribly frightened. "The young lady is right,” broke | in the clerk. Ellen sent him a misty, grateful smile. After a moment of disapoointment, Larry agreed that per- | haps they should choose something plainer. The “something plainer” was not platinum at all. but white gold > carved with minute orange blossoms. They left the ring to be engraved. CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR AT luncheon, which they ate in a quiet, candle-lighted restaurant, Larry began to tease Ellen about the wedding ring. "I do believe you selected that, plain ring to save me money. You felt guilty over this one.” He flicked the solitaire with his thumb-nail. "I do feel sort of guilty," she admitted, timidly. "You’re too good to me.” "What a whopper!” "It’s true.” "Get that out of your head, darling. and instantly. No one could be too good to you or for you. You’re the sweetest, dearest, most honest—” •‘You might not know.” He laughed at such foolishness. "What -are you thinking about, sweet, with your eyes so big and your face so solemn?” he asked after a while. Ellen put down her coffee very carefully. "I was thinking that I’m not nearly so good as you think I am,” she faltered. "I was thinking that I don’t want you to feel that way about me. It isn’t right. It would break my heart to fail you.” “I suppose you’re hinting at that 1 dark past of yours.” Larry teased. | "Well, I’m willing to risk it.” "Are you?” she asked so earnest- ! Iy that he was sobered. "What are you driving at?” he demanded. "What do you mean?” "I don’t mean anything,” Ellen [said suddenly and felt a little sick

at seeing the relief which lighted his face. "Girls are that way,” she explained. "They can't be happy and not be analytical, and pretty soon they're unhappy wondering if things are too perfect to last. Billy, isn't it?” "Dam silly.” Presently after the melon had been served and the mints and fingerbowls had come and disappeared, they arose and left the place. Larry was looking tall and handsome. Ellen was so near to him that the mingled sweetness of her youth and freshness and the indefinite .perfume she wore merged delightfully with the sharp, spicy smell of the big flower at her shoulder. a a a r T'UHEY were to stop at his studio -*• to see an apartment next door, which Larry thought might "do” for them. Ellen was deliciously thrilled at such concrete evidence that soon they were to be married and have a home of their own. She wal thrilled at Larry's desire for her advice, though she knew anything he liked she, too, would like. The superintendent was not to be found when they reached the building. After a consultation they decided to wait in the studio. Larry drew the vivid curtains in the cheerful, slip-covered room, lighted candles and knelt to lay a fire. The room so dear to Ellen, so full of memories, was today especially dear. In this room she had begun to love the tall, handsome man she was to marry; in this room she had felt so desolate that she had lost him. Always before the studio had belonged to Larry, but today it belonged in part to her, too. As she" leaned back against the deep-cushioned divan, so far back that the tips of her shoes did not touch the floor, and watched Larry lay the fire, Ellen felt an almost blinding happiness. She thought of Larry in days to come at work in this room, of herself, helping him. She thought of sitting at breakfast with him discussing his plans and her plans for the day, of sharing his problems, his thoughts, his dreams. She knew suddenly and quite simply that the dream she was building would have to be built on a foundation of truth, of absolute truth. Why, she must tell Larry everything. There was nothing else to do. There would be no doubts now, no hesitations, no evasions. "Larry!” she called. “Larry!” “Just a minute, darling.” A small pile of mail lay on the long oak table by the fire. He had paused there and was ruffling through the envelopes. He frowned at a cheap, greasylooking one with his name and address printed in queer, crude letters, hesitated and then withdrew that envelope from the others. Ellen, looking * up, surprised an odd expression his face and was diverted from her own problem. "Do you mind if I open this?” he asked, still frowning faintly. "Certainly not.” Puzzled, a little apprehensive, she watched as he tore oupen the envelope. Larry read the message, tore the cheap printed paper once across and glanced around for a wastebasket. "What is it, Larry?" “It’s nothing.” With a sudden, secondary impulse he fitted the torn page together and smoothed it out on the table. "Well, darling,” he. said doubtfully, hesitantly, "since you're so soon to be a member of the family I guess you might as well have a look at the family skeleton.” "Skeleton?” “Have a look at this.” JfßßeftT | J U L Gin you stand three matches up in the form of a tnpod, without any of the match ends or heads touching each other? _____ isl Yesterday’s Answer I fjnD LAUJ SO EXPENSIVE.

TARZAN THE TERRIBLE

A warrior was ushered into Ko-tan’s presence. “Lu-don, the high priest, desires that the king come to the temple at once and—alone,’’ he announced. The king rose to obey, saying: “I will return shortly. Dor-ul-Otho. Even the king must do-as the high priest commands." But it was an hour before his return, and meanwhile the ape-man occupied himself inspecting the richness and luxury of the apartment. When the hangings parted again and the king entered, Tarzan was almost shocked by Ko-tan's changed appearance. The king's face was livid, and he trembled visibly.

WONDERING, she joined him and glanced down at the paper fragments pieced together on the table. "This is the second warning,” read the crude lettering. "There will be no more. If you don't send SI,OOO to p. o. box 33, City Hall station, in the next three days I'll go to the newspapers and I don't mean maybe. I know one would be glad enough to print the facts.” "What does it mean. Larry.” she inquired, raising frightened eyes.’ Ellen knew what it meant. She

n Consuming anger and withering fear showed in his whole appearance. “You have had bad news, Ko-tan?" asked Tarzan. The king mumbled some reply as he cast terrified glances at the ape-man. Suddenly he raised his face heavenward and cried: “Jad-ben-Ot;ho be my witness, I do not this thing of my own accord!” A great number of warriors had thronged into the apartment. There was a moment of silence. Then Ko-tan broke out, saying: “Seize him, for the high priest swears j he is an impostor.” To offer resistance to this array of warriors was worse than useless.

prayed desperately that his answer would prove her wrong. "Blackmail,” he replied briefly. "It’s Uncle Steven. Something this —this person claims to know about his death. "The worst of it is,” Larry sighed, "that I’m not sure it’s not. true. Ordinarily, I’d tear up an anonymous letter without a thought. I did tear up the first and hoped It would be the end. As you see it wasn’t. "It's simply this,” Larry went on in troubled way. “The first letter said flatly that Uncle Steven didn't

die at St. Agatha's from an ordinary heart attack as I—as we allthought. "It said he died at his Long Island place as the result of a night of wild carousal. He was moved to the hospital afterwards, so the letter said. According to the writer his feminine companion—there was one of course—was there at the time of his death and did not leave until early morning. No use going on with the details, though ” Ellen was conscious of the terrific pounding of her heart; conscious that her face, her voice must reveal

Tarzan thought rapidly. “Let not your warriors touch a god’s son, O Ko-tan,” he exclaimed, “lest Jad-ben-Otho strike them dead. I will go willingly to the audience chamber to face the blasphemers who accuse me.” In the temple Lu-don was waiting their arrival. Tarzan realized his only hope lay in seeming indifference to the charges. Ko-tan and his warriors were still under the spell of their belief in him. One glance, however, at the sneering face of the high priest convinced Tarzan that ttie crafty Lu-don had already in his heart fate.

nothing. Above all else she felt a cold, frantic despair. If the opening of that letter could have been delaypd a little while! Five minutes, ten minutes—how much easier everything would have been. It was too late now! m a a PRESENTLY, they were sitting on the divan, discussing the matter. Ellen was pale and heartsick. Larry too troubled for the moment to notice her preoccupation. "You see my position,” he paid. "A scandal like this simply would

First the high priest confronted Tarzan with the black slave who previously had recognized the ape-man at the banquet. At Ludon’s command the cowering fellow told how he had seen this creature “as our warriors met our neighboring enemy who had among them thus same tailless man. They called him “Tarzan the Terrible’ and he fought our warriors with such strength that it took twenty to subdue him. But he did not fight as a god fights, and when a club struck him upon the head he sank unconscious as might an ordinary mortal.” fct these words a loud voice arose.
