Min’* She considered. “Id love to Steve, ■ but this is my night to visit Dad. He's in the hospital now% you know .” Their eyes met. Steve drew in a sympathetic whistle. “There may be hope—” Min went on. For a moment there was silence. Then Steve broke it briskly. “Tell you /hat, Min. I'll call for you and drive you to see your Dad. “Then I'll take you home and call for you later. You need cheering Up. Weil see the town.” She considered this briefly. “That Will bn fine. Steve." She watched him as he vaulted' over the love door and the car be- j gan sliding from the curb. “It’s a date, Min! I’ll be here. Five sharp.” CHAPTER 111 MONA'S day in Garretson, Lawrton & Amesbury’s exclusive office was filled with a sense of important deeds accomplished. It was a world in which success, like cor- j rect manners, was taken, for grant- j ed; where men were war lords with ; brisk, confident, conquering steps. Mona met few strugglers inflamed by a glorious ambition that drove them toward ultimate success. These men had achieved, still were achieving. Failure was a word as little to be associated with them as the word poverty. They came from that world to which Mona aspired—that cool, confident world from which fragrant, attractive women wearing costly furs now and then appeared to wrest their lords from the exactions of affairs to attend tea, a polo game, or shopping tour. Mona knew that nature had endowed her with as much real beauty as any of these women possessed. Often enough had she seen an eyelash flicker at her own loveliness, enhanced rather than subdued by her quiet gown. Frequently as she bent her head to announce Mrs. Thus-and-So's arrival she could sense the sharp Intake of breath as the import of her own beauty struck home. With callers, both men and women, Mona was aloof, businesslike and soft-voiced. She was a part of the oxcrllent Garretson, Lawton & Amesbury machinery, ever conscious of her effect as a human being. These people, obviously possessing breeding, wealth, poise, w r ere moved by Mona's attractiveness. She had hoard murmured references to Botticelli, Burne-Jones, and sea green velvet. Other offerings at her throne occasionally were less subtle. “Where did the old man find that beauty, anyway?” The old man W'a-s Mr. Garretson. Though she sat at the reception desk some distance from his sanctum sanctorum, Mona felt that she served him alone. Mr. Garretson had hired her. Mr. Garretson had recommended the raises in salary which had followed at regular intervals. She sat in the softly lighted, thickly carpeted reception hall, her molten copper hair gleaming .softly against paneled walls, her frills at wrist and throat pure and startling against the somber richness of the flat mahogany desk on which her tiny pad, blotter, and pencils, finely sharpened, rested beside a shining French telephone. It was Mona’s duty to interrogate Visitors, separate the wheat from

THEY TELL ME IFEEL fine after that swim out j at Glenn Van Auken's private ; pool,” said Representative Straddler ; as he called for one card to fill the ; four-flush. “And I want to tell you that even I though Glenn is a utility lobbyist | he's a darned nice chap.” he con- ! tinued. “Os course, while on the way out. we talked about the work j of the session. You know that I j don't believe the legislature should consider any of the bills enabling municipalities to operate their own i utilities. “We ought to pass and work only j on bills concerning taxation,” Strati-! dler commented, as he tossed his i hand into the discard. Senator Handout raked in the pot j and suggested a round of deuces; wild. . ‘ While I’m doing the dealing, I Straddler, you ought to mix a couple ! of drinks,” the veteran statesman suggested. “Put plenty of ice in mine, it’s awful hot.” “That reminds me,” said Straddler, sipping his ginger-ale to see if it was of the proper strength. “We vote on the Wright law repeal tomorrow and I will have to cast mine against repeal. This prohibition is a fine thing and if the state repeals the Wright law there will be a lot of open drinking ” a a a Handout agreed and showed two deuces, again winning the pot. “This Municipal Right* League has been riding me about those two bills they introduced, taking publicly owmed utilities from under control of the public service commission and permitting cities to buy or build plants and pay for them from earnings,” commented Straddler reflectively. “But I am not a candidate for reelection, so I signed the committee report recommending that they be killed. “I have been talking to the lame ducks and I think they will vote against them.” While the dealing continued, the group around the poker table in the lobbyist's room discussed the vote in the house on the committee reports. “Sam Farrell of Hartford City saw them coming and must have ducked the vote,’’ observed one. •Oh, there’ll be a lot of ducking,” said Senator Handout. “Did you notice that Jim Knapp, the Republican floor leader who ran for the Governor nomination and got licked, voted against passing the public ownership bills? “And A1 Walsman, the representactive from Indianapolis, who works for Harry Miesse of the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association, also voted against them. Harry, who represents the New York Central railroad, must have cracked the whip over Al.” Straddler laughed and added: “That whip cracked the other day when Walsman bolted the rest of the Marion county men and voted against the amendment distributing one-third of the gas tax money on a population basis. “There’ll be a lot of shifting of votes on second and third reading on the utility bills after some of the boys visit that swimming pool,” spoke up Representative Ranter. “I’ll say there will,” said Straddler. “It's a fine pool and Glenn is a real host.” Another round of drinks was served.

no one without an appointment. . . . I'll see if I can find Mr. Lawton for you. . . . Who is calling please? . . . Mr. Garretson is in conference and can not be disturbed. I’ll see that he receives the message .. . . Yes, Mrs. Thayer, Mr. Lawton has a closing at 11. I can get you fifteen minutes at 11:30.” i That fifteen minutes would begin j at 12:15, with luck, and last an hour, topped by luncheon at the Savarin. Mrs. Thayer was a charming widow. “I’ll let you know the moment he arrives, Mr. Garretson. . . . No. Mr. Lawton, the Bankers’ Club luncheon Is Wednesday. . . . Yes. Mr. Amesbury, I’ll see that you do not miss your train. ...” The elevator clicked and the door swung open. The light faded as the door closed again behind its outgoir - passenger, and the car droned on its way. Setting the telephone back in its place, Mona smiled mechanically at the newcomer. Her heart was in a tumult which he could have been pardoned for not seeing, so controlled was her face. It was Barry Townsend, the wild young man of the firm, nephew of one of their most lucrative clients. Tall, well set up. Coffee brown. Yale football team, 1927. Handsome, humorous. Further than that Mona did not go in her thoughts. It w r as true, however, that Townsend was charming, wealthy, eligible, attractive —and attracted! Mona's method in >ich instances w'as to reconnoiter. consider*and capitulate later—if at all. And then it would be merely to the extent of the most conservative of invitations. a a a THOUGH Mona had been with the firm for tw'o years, she had not laid eyes on Barry until a month ago. It was rumored that he had displeased his uncle who held the family purse strings until Barry became 30. He had dashed away to Mexico —or it China?—soon after finishing college. Here he w f as back again, confident, gay and the despair of that portion of the debutante list favoring older men. Tw'enty-eight seemed to many of them the beginning of the senile stage in manhood. “As I live!” Barry Tow’nsend announced in w'ell simulated surprise. “Portrait of a Red-Haired Lady. Mmm ... It is a portrait . . . No, she starts, she moves—” Mona said dryly, “Burne-Jones. Botticell. I’ve heard all that.” The young man dropped his bantering. “Miss Moran, I braved the elements and the hour ostensibly to ask old Stroud for an advance. Actually it was to ask you to dine with me. Any evening, any hour, any time. Only the sooner, why the quicker.” His eyes followed the movements of her hands about her desk straightening a few papers. “I’ve been for heaven knows how long where there wasn’t a soul to talk to except my partner. Os course, there w'ere a few other w'hite men, but they worked for me. “When they were cheating me—or trying to—they yessed me. No white women at all. “Think of it! Never sitting at a table with a woman. Never talking to one dancing with one.” His smile grew boyish. “Have pity on me! Dine with me somew'here and let’s go places and do things!” The sincerity in his voice touched Mona, but she met it flippantly. “My mother told me never to trust men who asked me out to dine.” “Does that mean I never am to see you?” ana MONA raised demure eyes. “You are getting quite an eyeful now.” “Avery satisfactory eyeful, but old Garretson or Lawton or w'hat-you-call-him may barge out here

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN

When King Elkomoelhago sternly bade his daughter cease striking Tarzan with her dagger. the princess in a fury cried angrily: “He has dared to stare into my eyes. He has refused to speak when he knew that it would give me pleasure. He should be killed!” "He is not yours to kill!” returned the king. “He belongs 10 Zoanthrohago.” ”1 will buy him, then, ’ cried Janzara, and turning to one of her warriors she commanded that Zoanthrohago be brought at once to the throne room.

J any minute and I’ll have to barge back behind the scenes and ask for cash I don’t need.” The telephone chimed. It was Lottie Carr calling. She had a gorgeous invitation for both of them for dinner. Mona just mast not refuse “I am dated up, Lottie. I’ll call you back, though, at lunch time.” The girls conversed softly for a few moments, Mona punctuating Lottie's wisecracks with “Yes. . . . Well? . . . I'll see.” Barry, his back carefully turned, I during the conversation, sat on the

"When Miranda, the Spaniard, regained consciousness after being felled by the cudgel blow of the witch doctor's daughter, his campfire was dead and dawn had almost come. He felt weak and dizzy, and his head ached. Putting his hand to it he found his thick hair matted with blood and a great wound in his scalp. It made him shudder and turn so sick that he fainted. When again he opened his eyes it was broad daylight, and he could not even recfall where he was.

edge of her desk, swinging his cane at imaginary tracings in the carpet. “If you are dated up tonight, of course that’s that,” he said reluctantly. “I—l’ve made it a rule never to spend the hours after work with people I’ve met at the office. Firm members, employes or clients. I can’t break that rule. I’m sorry.” “Great! I’ll remove my business to a rival firm!” They both smiled at that. His business was as tied up as though he had not yet emerged from the

cradle. People said there was a spite clause in the will. “Can’t you break that rule just once?” the young man went on pleading. “I’m not really a client, I’m a liability. Do say yes! I swear I’ll be down here every morning until you agree!” An office boy moved through a silently swinging door, dropped a paper on Mona's desk and disappeared to spread the information that Townsend Jr. was proposing to Miss Moran. Mona lifted her telephone. “Mr.

At last, sitting up. Miranda discovered that his loin cloth had been cut from his body. He gazed dully at his weapons, picked them up in wonderment, sitting long, fingering them in stupid bewilderment. Now he arose, and like a man wandering in a dream, stumbled out * into the jungle. A hundred yards from his shelter he came suddenly in sight of a lion feeding upon its kill. The beast growled ominously. Befuddled as Miranda was. only for a moment did he remain motionless in the trail.

Stroud, plea.se. Mr. Barry Townsend calling. Barry lifted his hat and stick from a chair and sauntered after the office boy. “You’re going to change your mind,” he tossed over his shoulder wdth the flashing smile. “Wait and see. You are going to dine with me and don’t forget it!” “Yeah?” breathed Mona to herself, smiling, too. "Well, maybe—” The Fates were laughing. For just how soon this was to come

With a panther-like spring he gained the low swinging limb of the nearest tree. Some hours after, the lion vanished and Miranda dropped silently from his place of safety and disappeared amidst the rio'ous foliage along the elephant trail. His diamonds were gone, but he would not have known a diamond had he seen one. Uhha had left him. but he did not miss her. The girl had defeated her own purpose, for Uhha's blow had shattered the Spaniard’s reason. Us brain was but a storehouse of useless memwies.
