Aunt Jessie, home from the hospital, had been told of it. She had mot Ernest Heath and grudgingly had liked him. although she had grumbled at the idea of their marriage. "I never thought to see you marry a divorced man,” she mourned. “Especially someone so much older. Not that he isn't a fine man. Any one with half an eye can see that. It just doesn’t seem right.” The starched nurse Heath had Insisted upon providing for the convalescent bustled into the room then and Aunt Jessie fell silent. The plan was that on the following day Aunt Jessie was to go to Florida in the nurse's charge. The marriage would take place the following month. “It don't seem right.” Aunt Jessie w-ent on when the nurse had disappeared. “to accept so much from a perfect stranger." “He's not a perfect stranger,” Susan raid, laughing, and then wondered if she had really spoken the truth. It had been strange and difficult for her to call her employer Ernest. She had finally managed it, as she had learned also to like and admire the slim, quiet, aristocratic man whom she had promised to marry. There was no time for regret. The die had been cast. Heath had thought it. unsuitable for her to continue working in the office, so she was at home. “Time for your nap,” she reminded the invalid. Aunt Jessie grumbled. “I declare I never expected to see the day when I'd sleep in the middle of the afternoon. I call it shiftless.” “You're a humbug. You really like it,” Susan told her. leaving to get her wraps. Heath was calling to take her for a drive. He looked at the girl with some dissatisfaction as she got into the car. “What on earth's the matter?” Susan asked. “Nothing, except. Chat I wish you'd let, me give you that fur coat now instead of waiting until later,” the man remarked. m * a SUSAN shook her head. On this point she was stubborn. She would take anything for Aunt Jessie, but nothing for herself until she was rightfully Heath's wife. “I thought we'd go out to that little Spanish place for tea,” he said. “That would be nice. Td like that," she assured him. The lux-

ury and care with which he surrounded her was almost suffocating. Was she warm enough? Why had she worn those thin shoes? Susan appreciated the solicitude at the same time finding it a little trying. Young men were not like this, she reminded herself. Young men were careless and selfish and arrogant. “What are you thinking of? You look as if you were miles away." She turned to smile at him. ‘Only of how good you are to me." There! She had pleased him and with so little. She was almost ashamed. It was so easy to make him happy. She divined something of his former loneliness. The drive was longer than Susan had expected and it was dark when at last they returned to the city. It had been a clear, cold, sunshiny day. and a faint light still lingered on the lake. On sudden impulse Susan said, “Let's walk along the lake wall.” She wanted quite unreasonably to escape from the warm, luxurious car and feel the east wind on her cheeks. Heath told Simon to wait for them at the turn of the road. “It's lovely here, isn't it?” breathed the girl. She leaned against the parapet, looking down at the water. “Not as much so as some of the places you and I are going to see soon,” the man reminded her. She shivered involuntarily. Instantly he was all solicitude* “You’re cold. I knew' you would be. We'd better go back to the car.” “No, no. It’s not that.” she protested. ‘‘lt's only that I feel a little frightened sometimes. It has all worked out too smoothly. It seems as though something must be bound to happen.” “Nonsense.” His reassurance was robust. “You're just fanciful, that's all.” “Maybe I ?m.” But had it been fancy. Susan wondered, that had caused her to imagine the tall figure strolling past the house several nights when she had been saying good-by to Heath looked strangely like Ben? Somehow the idea had made her uneasy. She had refused to see Ben since Christmas eye. when he had outrageously kissed her. “What's that?” she asked fearfully. glancing over her shoulder. “Nothing at all. Just the wind in the branches.” “It sounded like someone running.” She looked back along the wind swept esplanade. “Perhaps we had better go.” a a a THEY began to walk briskly in I the direction from which they had come. Susan flung another anxious glance over her shoulder. Her nerves were certainly in a bad state, She could have sworn she had seen tha shadow of a figure behind that oak tree. She heard the whine of something past her ear. Heath grasper her arm roughly and began to run. “What's the matter?” she panted, flying along beside him. “Nothing, nothing! Only come along.” The footfalls behind them were no longer imaginary. They were real. That strange, whining sound came again and Susan recognized

it for what it was—the zoom of a bullet! She felt her companion sway against her. “What is it?” she cried. “Something warm trickled inside her glove. “Youre hurt!” “It's nothing. Some maniac has turned sniper,” Heath gasped. They could see the car only a j few feet ahead. Heath stumbled and fell and Susan, through a roaring in her ears, heard a cry. She wheeled. The street light, glimmering, lighted the nightmare before her. There was Heath, unconscious at her feet. There was Ben, hatless beneath the trees, turning a bright-barreled object upon himself. “Stop it, you fool! Stop it!” It was her own voice, but it sounded hoarse and strange. Ben lay grotesquely like a fallen marionette. Simon came running and lifted his employer. “Its nothing. He only got me in the arm,” Heath muttered. “I'll be all right.” They helped him to the car. Oddly enough, there were no spectators for this little drama. The park at this hour at this particular place was deserted. “Who is the fool?” Heath demanded in a low, angry voice. “I know him,” Susan murmured. “I saw him for an instant under the light. It's a boy I used to see.” Heath glanced at her shrewdly. He knitted his brows for a moment, debating. Then he ordered Simon sharply: “Better drag the young idiot in here. We must hush this up at all costs.” a a a SUSAN tried to protest. Calmly Heath ordered her to get into the front seat beside the chauffeur. His left arm hanging at his side, he managed to help Simon drag the limp figure of the boy into the car. “Drive to Dr. Blake's In Bank street,” he told Simon fiercely. ‘The young fool's stili alive, thank heaven, although he doesn’t deserve to be.” Susan put throbbing hands to her temples. The horror of the situation overwhelmed her. Surely she would wake, and find she had been dreaming. Dr. Blake's home had a driveway and a service door opening

THE author of a mystery story generally is supposed to put all j of his cards on the table—to let I the reader have every bit of information that the master-mind detective has, so that the reader, if he jis smart enough, can figure out 1 who the guilty party is without j waiting for the author to tell him. Authors seldom play fair, though. Usually they hold back just two or three little clews; the crucial ones, without which the right conclusion can’t be reached. Indeed, they do this almost invariably, even in those books which advertise that all the dope is given to the reader without reserve. Consequently, it is refreshing to find a book that really does play fair; such a book, for instance, as “The Greek Coffin Mystery,” by Ellery Queen, which is about the only detective story I know of that lets the reader in on absolutely everything that goes on. This story deals with the funny business that begins at the funeral of a Greek art dealer. First, his will vanishes, then they dig up his coffin and find an extra corpse in it, then someone gets shot and finally the brilliant son of the police inspector brings the murderer to book. It s all exceedingly ingenious, and I defy you to figure it out for yourself—even though, as I say, every scrap of information is given to you. Unfortunately, the book has some serious defects. It's a woc- , fully humorless affair, and the 1 leading detective sounds like a poor j imitation of Philo Vance. Much of 1 the action sounds awfully improbable, too. But the author does play fair with j you. It is published by the Frederick A. Stokes Company, and cost* $2.

During a lull in the battle, a voice suddenly arose among the followers of Ja-don, crying out: "Show us the Dor-ul-Otho! We do not believe that he is your prisoner." "Wait” shouted down the high priest, "if I do not produce him before the sun has moved his own width. I swear that the gates of the palace shall be opened to you and my warriors will lay down their arms.” So saying. Lu-don turned tojone of his priests and issued brief instruction.

directly upon that. No one molested them or questioned them as they lifted the unconscious figure and carried It inside. “You wait here,” Heath told Susan. “I don't want you mixed up in this.” He looked older, sterner. “Your arm?” she faltered. Oh, she had not meant to bring trouble to him! “It's all right. Blake will attend to It in a few minutes. Don’t worry. It’s lucky this happened so near his office. I’ve known him for years." Simon came out. waiting orders. Heath told him. “You’re to take

| Miss Carey home and come back for me.” Susan asked timidly. “You'll tele- j phone me later and let me know what happens?" “Os course.” She never had liked him as much as she did at that moment. She leaned toward him and said, softly and hurriedly. “This boy hasn't any claim on me.” Heath’s face lighted, but he said rather brusquely, “You didn’t need to tell me. I knew it.”

The din of battle had arisen again as Ja-don urged his forces to renewed effort. But Ta-den had not arrived with the promised help, and the forces of the old chieftain were revealing their increasing demoralization by their lessened effort. And then it was that the priests carried Tarzan-jad-guru to the roof of the palace and exhibited him in the sight of the warriors of both factions. "Here is the false Eky-ul-Otho!" screamed Lu-don, as the bound anQ helpless prisoner was held upright for all to gee.

“Will he live?” asked Susan, .*arfully. Heath shrugged. "Blake says he doesn't know ” (To Be Continued) RUTH BRYAN WILLING FOR PROHIBITION VOTE Daughter of Great Commoner.

Again Lu-don shouted down: "This blasphemer shall die upon the altar he has profaned. Take him from my sight and when th sun stands at zenith, the faithful congregated in the temple shall witness the wrath of Jad-ben-Otho!” Those who brought Tarzan now took him away. Again the high priest demanded: "Come! Throw down your arms. Those who do as I bid shall ie forgiven.” The warriors of Ja-don moved Aeasily, casting looks of appeal at their leader.

Bryan. “I believa in the referendum. the initiative and recall, as my father did before me. They are the corner stones of democracy, and I welcome any expression of the voters on any question in which they are interested. “The only limitation I should prescribe to a vote on this question would be that the vote be a direct expression of the will of the voters, as recorded in a vote of their legislatures or directly by themselves. And they should also have before them any proposed substitute for the present law."

Ja-don sprang forward among his men. "Let the cowards and knaves throw' down their arms and enter the palace." he cried, "but never will Ja-don and the warriors of Ja-lur touch their foreheads to the feed of Lu-don. Make your decision now.” he cried to his followers. A few* deserted, but staunch and true around him stood the majority of his men. When the last weakling had left the ranks, Ja-don voiced the savage which he led his followers to the attaclAand once again the battle raged about the palace gate.
