NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN MONA looked across the table at her companion and reflected. Anything was better than that they should talk of themselves. With the feeling that thev w'ere nproaching dangerous ground, she carefully had led the conversation away from their affairs. Surprisingly enough, she was finding the experience of lunrhing w’ith her husband not disagreeable. He w-as entertaining, she admitted. Handsome even. It did not seem possible, or if possible at least, not. at. all likely, that this man should have stooped to punish his nephew by thwarting him in a marriage, i Yet he had intimated at Twilands that ’when their marriage had been arranged young Barry's inclinations were not unknown to him. I'll explain if I may,” Mr. Townsend said as though he read her thoughts. “After I returned from White Sulphur, Barry told me he was in love with a girl he had met recently. “I vetoed it immediately, because I wanted him to marry Miss Dower. Her father and I have looked forward to such a marriage for years. 3 suppose the day for such arrangements by parents is over, but we hadn't realized that. Barry refused even to listen. “Asa matter of fact, though I did not realize it. at the time. Genevieve—a fine girl, too—positively declined to marry Barry. She is in love. it. seems, with a young man in my office, a penniless nobody ” “Like me," Mona offered.

?iw K , • BY BRUCt CATTON THE old-timer of the regular army never got a better portrait than is given in "This Side of Hell," by Lowell Thomas. This is the story, "ghosted” by Mr. Thomas, of Dan Edwards, who went overseas with the First division, went into action with the first American contingent to face the Germans, won a congressional mfcdal of honor and countless other -decorations for bravery and finally came home minus an eye and an arm and plus a shattered leg and Innumerable scars. Edwards had served a hitch in the regulars before the war. He also had been a cowboy, a tramp football player, a seaman on a whaler, a soldier of fortune in Mexico, and various other things. He seems to have been the typical regular—typical of all armies, from the time of Caesar on down. Th° old-time regular was, and is, a peculiar citizen; boisterous, rough, given to hard drinking and riotous living, case-hardened and wily, irreverent and profane, winning promotion on his merits and then getting “busted" for breaking all the rules of God and man—and. with it all. a truly magnificent fighting man. You'll find all of this in Dan Edwards’ story. The things he did under fire are almost incredibly ■ stirring; but the best part of the book is his picture of the hard-bit-ten, supremely capable regular soldier. the man who has been the backbone of every army since the Romans conquered Gaul. "This Side of Hell" is published bv Doubleday, Doran & Cos., for $2.50.

‘‘Not at all like you. You should see him.” The next instant Mr. Townsend paused with concern. Mona had seen young Ashcroft. She had indeed been robbed by him! "At any rate, please believe me,” he floundered. "I did not know when I asked or had Garretson ask—you to marry me that I was thwarting Barry. Please belfeve me!” “You knew you didn't want him to marry the girl of whom he and spoken,” Mona said. “You knew—well, that you threatened to change your will to effect his inheritance. I den t know just how, but I've heard about it. "You didn t want him,” she went on bravely, “to marry the girl he wanted to marry. You do not wish him to make a success of the mine eithei. You don't want Barry o do anything except follow your plans and schemes and ideas. It isn’t; his fault ” The waiter, hovering over them filled a glass with tinkling ice and poured in water. "You mean." Mr. Townsend began coolly, his eyes glinting, “that I am treating Barry badly because his fa-, thcr stole my fiancee. Well, since he did, perhaps that's my view.” a a a HE set the glass after a pause. “I did not invite you to lunch, however, to discuss Barry. | The subject is painful to me. We j have an errand later; I've a gift for you. I selected it some time ago. Maybe you've heard of it. A huge diamond called The Empress of Peru. It's yours. Withington, my jeweler, has set it for you in a necklace. Too ; large really but worth that rather! varying amount, a king's ransom!” | “You've bought The Empress for me?" "You've heard Os it, then?” He glanced at her sidewise. “Os course I've heard of it. Who ! hasn't? It's been in the newspapers. But you've bought it for me?” They rode in a taxicab to Withington s. At once they were ushered into a private room and Mona, not unaware or displeased by attention bestowed upon her husband, saw that he was recognized as a man of affairs and importance. She felt that if they had come to purchase shirt studs their reception would have been no less gracious. The busy little manager welcomed them and, smilingly, rose without words to swing open the huge safe behind him and bring forth a red velvet box. Two men stood on guard in the doorway. The Empress was not a bauble to be tossed about carelessly. The little man opened the case and displayed the necklace. Mona, seeing him. wondered idly if anything in this world —save Barry who was denied her—could mean as much to her as this jewel meant to Mr. Withington. He laid the necklace gently in her hands. It seemed at once marvelous and pathetic. Her husband had given her the largest diamond available. He was dealing in superlatives just as a small boy selects the rosiest apple for his sweetheart, the most delicate rose for his mother. “It’s beautiful.” she agreed, handing the diamond back to the jeweler. who was hovering about much as a devoted nurse hovers when her charge is for the moment tn incapable hands. He begged to be aWowed to fasten the chain about madame’s throat. “Beautiful! Charming!” he echoed. “Only madame could wear such a stone!” n u a IT was arranged that the diamond should remain in the safe at Withington’s until the. opera season, when Mona should wear it on her first appearance in the Townsend box. “Our first engagement of importance. really,’’ her husband said, his j eyes traveling along the thronged sidewalk as their cab threaded its ; way up Fifth avenue. ‘I do hope, my dear, that you will enjoy it. “Forgive me if you can for anything I unwittingly may have done. Think it over. Is there anything else, anything at all, that you would 1 like to have me do?” Mona's cameo profile was clear cut against the shadows of the cab. | “Are you sure you would do anything I asked?” she said softly,

without looking at him. “I would try.” ‘ Maybe I'll ask you later." “Drive through the park." he ordered as they neared Fifty-ninth street. For some moments they drove in silence. Fall was more evident here than in the streets. Children on roller skates at crosswalks with their nurses. The trees were beginning to look bare. The shrubbery was bronzed with red berries. Summer wanderers, summer absentees were returning. The new season had begun. Vaguely Mona undirstood that something new had come about, too, in her relations with this man who was so strangely her husband. She did not—could not—hate him now. Yet through him Barry's life seemed

THEY TELL ME Hurry Home, Jim “nnHEY always have me defeated A in August,” says that great, straightforward Hoosier statesman, “double-crossing” Jim Watson, as he is given reports that the outlook for November is gloomy. They’ve always got Jim beat in November, also—that is, until Lake county comes to the rescue after four days’ delay, with 10,000 or 15,000 ballots that the boys forgot to count while waiting to learn how the senator had fared downstate. But Lake county isn’t the same old Lake county—not with a Democratic prosecutor and a Democratic sheriff. Jim can’t depend on that faithful stronghold any more, and gone are the days when busloads of loyal Chicago Republicans were shipped over the line into Indiana to do their bit for the Grand Old Party. Which brings us to the fact that never has there been such great enthusiasm among Hoosier Democrats as this year. In fact, it is quite inspiring to listen to about 250 county and district chairmen and chairwomen and precinct workers sound off their views regarding the glorious outlook for the fall. ana If the six regional meetings held by the Democratic state committee and candidates Thursday, Friday and Saturday are a criterion, then the election is in the bag and the band can start to play “California. Here I Come, Right Back Home Again,” for H. Hoover. And the desks in the old law office of one J. E. Watscn, attorney-at-law, should be dusted off. Not that Jim would go into the practice of regular law—he can pick right up that old lobbying post he held in Washington while a plain citizen, and which he forgot to terminate when he became senator. Such yeoman service as he gave can not be forgotten by the generous corporations, else it would be base ingratitude. a a a Never in his history has “promising Jim” been forced to face so able an opponent as Fred Van Nuys and if the senior senator wishes to continue his residence in Washington, he would better come on home and build his fences. Van Nuys’ sincerity made a great impression on the party workers at the regional meetings' and when he finished his short talks they were standing and cheering. So it's time for Jim to come home —but maybe he is waiting until some of the boys he double-crossed for everything from postmaster to Governor forget their hurts—as has occurred in the past. It isn't so easy to forget—not as in the former years. Double-crossing the first 100 doesn't count in Hoosier Republican politics, but when you get on the second hundred that's when they begin v> remember and wait for a chance to get even.

ruined. Her own life was ruined.' too. “Ask me now. Tell me what I can do to make you happier.” Mona aroused herself from the reverie to hear these words. Instantly she made up her mind. The car shot across the bridle path and she could see a figure on horseback, reminding her somehow of that picture she had imagined of little Barry astride his pony at Twilands. Even then his uncle's animosity toward Barry had begun. a a a SHE laid an impulsive hand on the mans arm. “You can do this," she exclaimed. “Nothing for me because I have everything. Every luxury and comfort I could wish or even dream of wishing for.

“For the first time in my life I’ve been able to do things, give things to others.” There was a break in her voice. Her eyes were shining. But what are ydu doing to Barry?” Mona went on. "Everything that can hinder him in his work. Those two boys have made a success of that old worked-out mine. “But that success has been Steve s, not Barry's! Everything can be traced to Steve! He found Ishe was going to say the empress, but checked herself* the larger diamonds they sold to buy machinery. “Steve controls the men more easily than Barry could. He has had more experience, I suppose, and understands them ” “I never met Steve,” Mr. Town-

send commented idly. He sat very still. “Whatever way you look at it. this is Steve’s enterprise. Barry doesn't count because of you. He came north to get money to finance the new dredging machinery—" “New,” remarked Mr. Townsend disinterestedly. “Those mines have been worked for years without machinery. South American mining is shallow. Nothing ’’ke the South African mines.” “You light Twilands with electricity. don’t you?” ask Mona hotly. “You don't use candles simply because people did a few hundred years ago. “Let Barry have his inheritance or the money you are keeping from him.

done is legal enough, but legality and right don't necessarily go hand in hand!” They rode for a moment in silence Mona's breast was heaving. Her face was flushed and her breath came in quick, short gasps. Suddenly she opened her purse and began repairing the damage of the tears that had come into her eyes. “When a woman gefs out a powder puff." observed Mr. Townsend coolly, “I realize she has had her say. So I’ll have mine, “Don't you suppose I know the Empress came out of that min'? Don't you suppose I know precisely what you'll do with it the moment you have the chance?” “What?” asked Mona. “Sell it. No woman wants to wear

Mona looked at him in amazement. “Sell it? When?” The man waved a smoothly gloved hand and laid it over the other which was grasping his waik- ! ;ng stick. “Any time. Now—today—tomor- | row.

Suddenly Tarzan flung the door wide open and leaped quickly into the center of the room, his iron bar raised and ready. But only a tomb-like silence reigned within that magnificent setting! A quick glance about showed him the bodies of six men that had not been visible irom the threshold.
