Busan's aunt, with whom she lives, departs and one ni*ht when ahe is lonelv the girt coes ridine with Waring. He kisses her and she resolves never to go with him again. Susan snenda an afternoon with Ben and he asks her to tnarrv him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER SEVENTEEN ALL the way down town In the bus (she had insisted on going alone). Susan marveled at the astonishing thing that had Just happened. It was true she did net, like Ben very well. He was too moody, too unexpected. He did not, as Ray would have said, "know how to treat a girl." His manner was abrupt. Altogether he was an embarrassing sort of suitor. Despite all this, Susan felt flattered at his proposal. After all, it meant something! However gawky or impossible a man might be, a proposal of marriage nevertheless conferred a distinction upon the girl who received it. “Not that, I'm going about shouting ‘Ben’ Lampman's asked me to marry him," she thought, half ashamed of these rather ignoble thoughts. Still she was pleased and was conscious of a half-formulated plan to tell Ray about it in the sketchiest way possible. Even Ray might be impressed. At this stage in her reflections the bus reached the corner where she was to alight. Down towm was curiously deserted in the early summer evening. She had only fifteen minutes to spare and the station w f as a good eight blocks away. She hurried. It never would do to be late when she was meeting Aunt Jessie. Breathless, she reached the big terminal with a few moments to spare, and stood outside the iron gates with a small group of stragglers as the train wheezed in. There she was! No, that wasn't Aunt Jessie, after all. Men and women came trailing through the gates. Clusters of family groups; n dapper traveling salesman or two; last of all, brisk and efficient and scolding the red cap who carried her baggage, was Aunt Jessie. She had not known she would be so glad to see Aunt Jessie. Susan felt an actual little rush of painful emotion at this sight of her relative. The lean, trim figure in Its slightly old-fashioned suit, the dark hair strained back under the blue straw hat—these seemed dear and familiar to the girl. , Forgotten for the moment were the old grievances as the two kissed and clung together. There was a suspicion of moisture in Aunt Jessie's eyes as she surveyed her niece. "I declare, you’ve got real thin,” she worried. "No telling how you've been eating since I've been away.” n an SUSAN laughed and squeezed her arm. In an instant they were back on the old footing. “You'd be surprised!" she said. “Rose has cooked spinach and I baked potatoes and the house is so clean you won't know it." Aunt Jessie sniffed incredulously. They had reached the main exit of

] the station and the youth carrying the baggage murmuring something about getting a taxi. Aunt Jessie fixed him with an intimadating stare. "Nothing of the sort, young man!” she announced. “You put my things on the street car right across the street and I’ll be obliged to you.” She gave him a tip with the air ! of a dowager duchess and so bright I and fierce was her gaze that he did J not dare to grumble at the small- : ness of it. Susan watched this encounter, amused. When they we~3 settled on j the trolley, the bulging bags dis- [ posed at their feet, Aunt Jessie j turned to her and said challeng- ! ingly: “Now tell me what you’ve been doing while I’ve been away.” Susan had to think quickly. She wanted to be honest with her aunt but there were, after all, some things she could not make her understand. The episode of the evening with Jack Waring and Ray Flannery, for iastance. Nothing had happened—nothing, really. She had been foolish to go in the first place, had acknowledged her mistake and was sorry for it. Rose had been sworn to secrecy on the subject and Rose could be trusted. Feeling very small and uncomfortable, Susan said, "Oh, just about the usual thing." Aunt Jessie seemed satisfied. She began to talk of Cousin Lucy's baby and John's new car and her sister’s operation. Susan drew a deep breath of relief. ana RESOLUTELY, all this time Susan had been pushing the thought of Bob Dunbar into the background. On the Monday after her aunt’s return the girl reached the office a few minutes ahead of time. This always was the best part of the day. Everything had a cool, clean, washed air. Susan revelled in the smallest of her tasks. Opening windows, brushing the weekend film of dust away from her employer's desk, sorting the mail and putting the door on latch. In the midst of these activities the telephone rang. It was Mr. Heath, announcing he had been delayed and would not be down until 10:30. Susan’s sense of well-being deepened. Nodding good morning to Pierson, she unfolded the morning newspaper and began idly to its columns. Scarcely ever did Susan glance at the society pages, but a new gossip department, written by a chatty person known to her readers as the Duchess, caught her eye. As sometimes happens, one name resolved itself into the blackest type and leaped out at the girl. She read the paragraph with passionate interest. “A little birdy tells us wedding bells are soon to ring for that dashing young sportsman, Bobby Dunbar. Who the charming lady is your duchess is not free to disclose, but she has it on the best authority that Mendelssohn’s wedding march will be played for Lord Robert before the leaves begin to turn. ‘‘By the bye, that lucky young man is in Scotland for August, at somebody or other’s handsome shooting box. More anon.” Susan felt for one sick moment as though her heart had plunged to her shoes. The sensation was dis-

tressing and alarming, a little like that experienced when an elevator shoots abruptly from the twentieth floor to the first. Fiercely she reminded herself there was no reason why she should care. What had her friendship with Dunbar been except a few pleasant hours spent together with a luncheon table between them? She had. been a fool—a fool —a fool! Young men of his type and station thought nothing of saying charming things to girls like herself. She had mistaken the merest polite Interest for something deeper and more important. Thus reason spoke. Susan’s rebellious heart kept clamoring that all this was wrong. < There had been between Robert Dunbar and herself a marvelous, perfect understanding. Only for an instant, indeed, yet it had been there and had been recognized by the boy as well as by herself. She realized with a clear, blinding flash of perception that it was because of Robert Dunbar that she had refused to encourage either Waring or Ben Lampman. She had been, as the saying goes, “waiting for Mr. Right to come along.” Ah, but Mr. Right had come and hadn’t known her! What an idiot she had been to believe all the silly, old tales about true love. hn , a SHE twisted her lips in a cynical smile. What, she wondered dismally, was the U:5 of waiting and striving and hoping if the one really

THE explorers who do the most valuable work are usually those who get the least publicity and make the least money. The perils of travel in the South American jungles have been exaggerated greatly, and no man will be in any danger from the Indians there if he acts like a gentleman and doesn’t provoke violence by waving a gun around all the time. It’s an easy job to put yourself over as a great scientific globertrotter if you hire the right press agent and know how to bluff. These are some of the high spots in “My Jungle Book,” by Herbert S. Dickey—an entertaining volume that debunks the exploration racket with caustic effectiveness. Dr. Dickey has spent something like three decades in the wildest parts of South America, and should know what he is talking about. What he tells is plenty. It is perfectly possible, he says, for a complete nobody to make himself world-famous as an explorer, if he goes about it right. He adds that the really conscientious explorer and scientist usually worries along on about $3,000 a year and dies unknown to fame. There is more in his book than this debunking stuff. He writes of his own experiences in South America, and proves that unvarnished truth can be quite as interesting as touched-up “adventure." “My Jungle Book” is published by Little, Brown & Cos. at $3.50.

The dark shore loomed close as Jane, Lady Gre.vstroke, slid quietly over the stern of the canoe into the chill waters of the lake. She scarcely moved, other than to keep her head above water, while the canoe was yet visible in the last raj's of the declining moon. Then she struck out toward the southern shore. Alone, unarmed, all but naked, in a country overrun by strange, bea'sts and hostile men, she yet felt, for the first time in many months, a sensation es elation and relief. She was free!

perfect thing were to be snatched away from you? Robert had wanted to tell her something that day at luncheon. She was sure of it. Denise Ackroyd had interrupted and the moment had passed, never to come again. He had forgotten it while Susan had remembered. At the recollection she flung up her head with a sudden startled movement. The look of surprised pain in her clear, long-fringed eyes was so agonized that the man staring at her was shaken out of his usual insouciance. Confused, Susan murmured,

BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES

“Goodi morning, Mr. Waring." Waring returned her greeting and moved on to his own desk. The memory of that stricken look stayed with him. He decided that Susan was not quite the raw child she seemed. There had been something desperately wounded in her gaze, something infinitely appealing. The look had torn away without his volition the covering Jack Waring kept over his own dead youth. Those who knew him nowadays scarcely would have credited it, but Waring had been a shy, sensitive boy who agonized over trifles.

Her blood tingled to the almost forgotten sensation, and she almost gave a glad cry as she clambered from the quiet water, and stood upon the silent beach. Before her loomed a dark forest, joyous with the sounds of early dawn—the free life of which she was now a part! And there came to her, possibly for the first time since Tarzan of the Apes had entered her life, a fuller sense of what the savage jungle meant to him—its lure and exaltation. Al3 If he were only by her side, now. She longed for no other joy.

His early marriage, his wife’s subsequent betrayal, these were things he preferred to forget. In spite of all his efforts, sometimes the ghost rose up and gave him pause. He called to Susan presently, “Will s’ou take a few letters for me, Miss Carey, please?” She came, notebook in hand, moving like a figure in a dream. In a low tone, so that Pierson should not overhear, the man said to her, “I’m sorry about the other night. I behaved like a rotter and I know it. I apologize.” Susan looked at him lifelessly. What did it matter, she thought.

A lion moaned to her right as she moved slowly toward the wood. Again it moaned—nearer. She sought a low hanging branch, and swung easily into the friendly shelter of the tree. The long and perilous journey of the last few months had trained her muscles and her nerves, and she found a safe resting place such as Tarzan had taught her was best. There, thirty feet Above the ground, cold and uncomfortable, sb curled herself to sleep, for her heart was wa*m with renewed hope.

That same night Tarzan had quit the city of A-lur. He followed Mo-sar's trail to the shores of Jad-ben-lul. Several craft were still moored upon the beach, and one the ape-man took for the purpose of pursuit. It was daylight when he paddled across the broad lake, and followed the winding river north. It was here that Mo-sar awoke to discover the absence of his woivan captive. None of his boatmen recalled wnen they had last seen the stranger she, and Mo-sar’s wrath was beyond his control.

with rare archeological deposits, a Harvard expedition is scheduled to sail Wednesday for Europe. Its ultimate destination is Starcevo, near Belgrade, Yugoslavia. Leaders of the 1931 expedition, Dr. V. J. Fewkcs of the University museum of Philadelphia and R. W. Ehrich of Harvard will be in charge. Planned to cover two months, the survey will include the more important rivtr valleys. It is hoped to cast new light on the routes by which prehistoric cultural developments were spread in southern Europe.
