Vaguely Mona recalled a reference to court opening after the long vacation. It had been in a motion picture,

A Tender Heart Fable NOT so many years ago there lived in a land not far away a grasshopper and an ant. who, in friendship, were closer than the Siamese Twins. While the grasshopper flitted about in political office trying to get by with as little effort as possible, the ant engaged in various businesses, and during these years their friendship grew closer and and closer. Finally there came a time when there was high office vacant in the land and the ant, forgetting his private business, undertook to obtain this high office for his friend, the grasshopprr. After much travail and effort, his work was crowned with success and the grasshopper was elected to the high place at a salary beyond his dreams. But there soon came a rift in the friendship and various and curious explanations were given for this. Because the ant paid so much attention to the campaign, he was left without the business he built up and which he found difficult to regain. To add to his sorrow, his health was gone, A famine came upon the land and the ant was in dire need. He bethought himself of the grasshopper. One cold, wintry night he approached the mansion within which sat his elevated friend, as snug as a bug in a rug. Timidly, the ant knocked at the door. While the servants went to answer, the grasshopper came to the window. Out in the bitter cold and snow he beheld his friend—shivering and shaking in agony of illness and weak from hunger. A sob clutched at the throat of the grasshopper and sorrow for his friend gripped his heart. Turning hastily, he pulled the bellcord and called for his butler.

but the lawyers had worn wigs. It must have been an English picture. Maybe things were different over here. Mr. Townsend was feeling better these days. Mrs. Faxon explained that he would expect to dine with Mona occasionally, driving in with his car, or when he left Twilands, as he frequently did, taking up an abode in the suite set aside for him in the Sixty-third street home. “Living here?” asked Mona, paling. She laid down her riding crop. It was early morning and she had just come in from a canter in the park. “Yes, dear. Why not?” Mrs. Faxon went on gently, “You expected him, didn’t you? You've- had an opera engagement for I don’t know hoW* long! “He thought you might like to have lunch with him. Shall I say you'll be waiting at one?” “Certainly,” Mona replied automatically. The girl tossed off her riding coat and, sitting down, began to fumble with her boots. “Are we lunching here?’’ she asked composedly, “I think he intends taking you out somewhere. Mr. Townsend has been out very little. They feel it would do him good to see people and get about as he used to do.” “Os course,” Mona agreed. tt tt tt IT was 10 o’clock then and the French instructor who arrived at 10:30 kept Mona busy for an hour. After that her hair was waved by Celeste, the maid, adept in such arts, and her nails were manicured perfectly. Mona chose a tan suit and sable fur with a snug, nondescript little hat of brown to go with it. She rare wore the emerald ring, but today she took it from its hiding place and slipped it on her left hand. The car had been ordered for 1, and. without waiting to be called, she tripped down the stairs into the bright little foyer of the "house and back to the library. Os all the rooms in the house—-

“Out in front of the door you will find a poor, hungry, shivering ant. Turn out the dogs and chase him away.” “He's breaking my heart!” tt u a Which brings us down to the following: The legislature passed a pari-mutuel licensing bill which would have legalized horse and dog racing in this fable. (The merits or demerits of the bill have no place in this fable.) But Bert Fuller, who managed the campaign of Governor Leslie, is known to have been interested in its passage. 11l and without a business, Bert saw in it a chance to recoup. So, they tell me, he got an option on the abandoned dog track near the city, and when the pari-mutuel bill passed prepared to open up. He then learned that Leslie was prepared either to veto or pocket the measure and had told Representative Herbert P. Kennedy that if the bill became a law it would ruin the Arlington track near Chicago, which drew much of its business from northwestern Indiana. Leslie, they tell me, said that the operators of the Arlington track had told him that they had spent $78,000 in taxes on it and that their business would be shot if Indiana legalized racing and betting. Although not knowing what the Arlington track had to do with the Indiana bill, Bert swallowed his pride and went to see his erstwhile friend, the Governor. Fuller described his financial plight and told of his expectations to stage a recovery if the bill was signed. Leslie, they tell me, listened patiently. Then he said that although it hurt him to have to disappoint Bert, he would not make this bill a law. Which reminds the old doctor of what the grasshopper said about the ant; “Chase him away, he’s breaking my heart!”

except, of course, her own—Mona liked the library best. It was at the rear of the first floor, walled with stained glass windows through which lights played in mystic fashion. There were cushioned seats before the windows and the walls were lined with impressive looking books. There was a fireplace, easy chairs, and a desk with a polished surface on which an unused inkstand waited. The room itself had an unused appearance. Indeed, Mrs. Faxon had told Mona that its chief functions had bean to serve as a setting for the children's Christmas trees during the holidays or for small parties given as they grew’ older. Mrs. Faxon had explained that Mr. Townsend rarely used it for reading, preferring his own booklined sitting room upstairs. The green lights from the windows stained her suits as Mona moved forward to look at some photographs hanging on the further wall. Strange she had not noticed these before. They could be no one save Barry! That slight slant of eye, the wave in the smooth blond hair, gaining sophistication as he grew older. Here was little Barry, rolling about a fur rug, kicking bare heels and, probably, crowing as he clasped his fat little hands together and regarded them delightfully. Barry in rompers riding on his tricycle. Oh, how long ago it must have been! Still—not awfully long, either. Barry was only—why she and Barry were young! tt a tt MR. TOWNSEND, her husband, was not young. A little farther along the wall hung another framed picture, a portrait of a slender, straight man of the world with graying hair. It came from a studio which catered exclusively to men and which, selecting its subjects with an eye to the purse, made of its clients what Mona called inspired captains of industry and very charming, handsome persons. Mona moved in front of Mr. Townsend's picture, the shaft of light falling across her head, and stood motionless before it. “I am married to him for six months longer,” she mused. “Well, I wonder if he is satisfied with what’s he's done?” “Perfectly, my dear, I assure you.” The voice was cool and crisp behind her. Mona turned swiftly and beheld her husband. It was the first time she had seen him in the town house which she had unconsciously looked upon as her own retreat. Mr. Townsend, faultlessly dressed in striped trousers and frock coat, was smiling at her. He laid his hat and gloves upon the desk and set his stick upon a chair. He smiled at Mona rather boyishly, she thought, but for a moment she was startled, She had uttered her thoughts aloud! “Perfectly satisfied,” Mr. Townsend repeated. “And I believe that you are, too. Six months—as no doubt you were thinking—have passed. It’s just half the time until you shall be free again.” He moved toward her, regarding her steadily. “It hasn’t been such frightful bondage, has it?” As he spoke he turned to young Barry’s portraits, regarded them a minute and turned back to her. Her face, which had grown pale at his entrance, flushed again. Then the color receded. Mr. Townsend indicated a chair. “Sit down,” he said, “I want to talk to you.” With a hardly perceptible shake of her head, Mona remained standing. At length she spoke. “I—l thought you were going out to lunch,” she said. “I am ready.” “Quite, I should say. You are prompt. And I find you here, regarding the family portraits rather soberly. Tell me,” the girl raised her eyes to his and found them kindly, “do you think I knew when

I had Garretson arrange this matter between us?” o u n MONA flushed. “Knew—what?” she asked. Then swiftly, lest he tell her, she tried to laugh. “Knew that I would be prompt?” “A remarkable virtue in a woman. Mona. But I need not tell you that I consider you remarkable. Otherwise, I would not have done myself the honor of asking you to be my wife.” “You mean, asked Mona in dismay, “you mean—” She found it difficult to finish. “I mean, my child, that I had no idea, not the slightest, at the time of our marriage that you were in love with my nephew!” In love with his nephew!

Carrying the iron rods Tarzan had wrenched from the window, the two men crawled toward the mouth of the embrasure. Each rod had been bent into a hook by the ape-man. Then Tarzan said: “Wait a moment I am making a hole in the ledge. Pass along the rods."

it was in plain words. In love with Barry. She hardly had dared express it in such clear tones In her own heart. Mona, the legal wife of another man, admitting to herself that she was In love with young Barry! It wasn't a sporting thing to do. Yet the very answer she gave betrayed her. "You did not know?” she asked. “How then do you know now?” Again he regarded her kindly. “A man has intuition, too,” he explained. “I needed only to see the expression of your face in that mirror there” —he swung his stick at it —“when you looked at those photographs.” Mona said nothing. “Can I do anything at this late

date to make you happier?” he pursued in a low tone. “I don't know what you mean, Mr. Townsend,” Mona said. She was disconcerted. It had seemed easier to dislike him when she felt that he had married her conscious of the situation. It seemed all right then to take his devoted care, his jewels, his wealth. But now—if this were true —! After all. what had been the situation between Barry and herself? She had fallen in love with him, yes. She had fallen deeply in love with Barry, but how had he felt about her? He had not told her. He had not sent any message. Barry had said nothing. “You don’t know what I mean?” her husband repeated gently, pick-

Tarzan dropped into the black shaft, clinging to its l.edge with one hand. “Come to the ledge here," the ape-man said. “When I whistle once, follow me. “Follow where?" asked Komodoflorensal. “Down the shaft to the first embrasure that will give us foothold,” replied ; Tarzan.
