BEGIN' HIRE TODAY MONA MORAN, born on New York'* rst Bid*. marri** JOHN BARNETT TOWNSEND, millionaire. The atrange marriage la arranged by Mona • employer, alao Townsend a lawyer, who tell* her a wealthy client wishes to marry her, with the understanding that •he will occupy her own apar'ment •nd have unlimited charge account* for •ne year. At the end of that time, she must deride whether to become Townsend a wife In actuality or secure a divorce. Mona bellves her bridegroom to be young BARRY TOWNSEND, whom she Jove*. Not until lust before the ceremony does ahe learn the man la Barry's uncle. Young Barry, who Is not friendly with his uncle, has returned to Bouth America, where he and STEVE SACCARELLI •re partners In a diamond mine. Believing young Barry lost to her, Mona goes through with the marriage. LOTTIE CARR fashion model, 1* Mona’s closest friend. Six months pass Only occasionally does Mona see her husband. He buvs a huge diamond, called “The Empress of Peru " for her. Mona tries to soften her husband's bitterness toward his nephew. He fells her thst If she will sgree that their marriage shall be permanent he will do the right thing by Barry.' NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE (Con.) ‘But—but—” said Mona, still helpless. “Do I need to tell you,” her husband continued, “that I am fearfully, tremendously, deeply in love with you? “I have been ever since the day T first saw you at the Savarin. The •lay I was lunching with Garretson. But of course I thought you knew I love you.” CHAPTER THIRTY MONA stared at her husband. What could she tell him? Should she say that she had thought him cruel, scheming and revengeful toward his nephew? That she had believed he had married her only to torture both Barry and herself? She reminded herself that, save lor hearsay, sha was not even certain that young Barry ever had loved her. The admiring glances, the suave flattery might all have been part of a game, the merest flirtation. By accepting that flirtation for hiore than it was worth, she had lost Steve’s love (if she had ever had that) as well as young Barry Townsend's. Ail this did not alter the fact that she loved Barry. Now, should Rhe decide against ending this marriage, she could bring Barry into his rightful inheritance. “Suppose,” she said quietly, ‘‘that I think over this until after the holidays. Then we can make plans —either to remain here as we have been, or to start on our honeymoon—” “A Mediterranean cruise?” TownBend suggested eagerly. “Would you like that?” “I? he paused. “Oh, I’ve been Everywhere. Suit yourself, my dear." He added tenderly, “I hope

THE romance of the highway is not a thing which only travelers can enjoy. It is available to stay-at-homes, too; for the way in which people of former years got about the country, the vehicles they rode in, the roads they used and Ihe customs that surrounded their wanderings are among the most truly interesting parts of human history. They make up a romance that can be gotten out of a book in a comfortable armchair, and it’s ’a first rate romance, too. You’ll find this sort of thing in ’’From Hereto Yonder,” by Marion Nicholl Rawson. If you like to get an authentic peck at the way your forefathers lived, you'll like this book immensely. As the title implies, the author concerns herself chiefly with modes Os travel In early America. She describes the old-time roads, tells how they evolved from mere wilderness trails to regular highways. traces the introduction of wheeled vehicles, discusses the taverns and inns in which early travelers took their rest, and contrives, all in all, to give an excellent picture of American life a century and inore ago. Here and there, possibly, she (strives just a little too hard for quaint ness; but she gets so much that is intending and informative into her book that you can overlook the fault. “From Here to Yonder" is published by Dutton and costs $3.75.

! you'll see things my way. I’m not a bad fellow at heart, really.” He was silent again. “The bad blood between my brother and I began in the cradle. Then when he stole the woman I was to marry—” “She must have been willling.” Mona pointed out, “or she wouldn’t have gone. After all, that wasn't Barry’s fault!” “No, Barry hardly can be blamed for that.” There was no more said on the subject, nor was it raised again during the days of preparation for the holiday festivities. nun CHRISTMAS came and went merrily. Mr. Townsend had planned a dinner at Twilands with Mona presiding at the table, flushed and lovely, in gleaming white satin and emeralds. Christmas morning lay gleaming white about them. Snow had fallen and the day was a veritable “Christmas card holiday” as Mrs. Faxon exclaimed. At 3 o’clock the car arrived for Mona, who was to spend the after- j noon with her family. The Morans had declined an invitation to Twilands. Ma’s new fortunes had taken material form and the neighbors were dropping in for a bit of celebration, j Ma was a flutter with mince pies in ! the oven, tissue paper and holly everywhere. Dad, comfortable and smiling, wearing anew silk robe, was seated in his armchair smoking and chatting with one of the boys who had dropped in for “a bit of a laugh and a joke.” The Donahue twins, fresh in starched rompers, were dragging new fire engines up and down the hall amid shouts of glee. Kitty, it seemed, was entertaining. Mr. Townsend had sent theater tickets and she had departed with a crowd of friends. The telephone rang and mas answered it. Alice’s voice came over the wire. “Tell her I’ll send Jackson to bring her down,” Mona ordered, tossing aside her sweet smelling furs. “You’ll not mind?” her mother asked, cautiously covered the transmitter. “Os course not. He has to wait anyway. I w r ant to run over to Sixty-third street a little later. Mona left shortly after Alice’s arrival. Anew cheap blue gown hung pathetically about what once had been, in Lottie's terms, “ knockout .figure.” All the more pathetic, it seemed, because Alice herself did not realize apparently the change that had come over her. Alice had married for love. Well, she had love —and with it struggle and poverty and a hopeless future. Wondering if she ever could fall into that almost slovenly mode of living, no matter how little money she had, Mona had taken Sonny from her sister and divested him of his wraps. “Oh, thanks, Min!” Alice said. “You look grand. And your hands—” She glanced at her own grubby fingers with their broken nails and stained palms. “Mine could look nice, too, but I have so Jittle time ” “I know,” Mona said soothingly. “I’ve been thinking, Al. Maybe you’d like a vacuum cleaner or something.” “But the rug and the chair you sent for Christmas are plenty, Min,” Alice said. “I’ll send you a cleaner, anyhow," Mona promised. “They make things so much easier, ma says.” “They do, of course.” The Callahan’s tree still was to be admired. Mrs. Casey appeared and invited them all down for ice cream. Lilly Donahue, coming to collect the twins, set a lemon meringue pie down on the table. “Oh, what fun, really, it is to be poor!” Mona thought to herself. “What a friendliness. What neighborliness. Fancy any one in Sixtythird street dropping in with a pie!” a n tt A LITTLE later Mona stopped to see Lottie, who had attended a Christmas Eve celebration with the latest swain and now lay blinking and looking a trifle weary, surrounded by a mass of wilted flow T ers. “He sent over practically the whole shop window,” Lottie explained. “Now look at them!” Rising, she began arranging her hair before the mirror. “Hear from South America?” Lottie queried. “No. Did you?” “Yes. Maybe you did, too. This

just came an hour ago.” She produced a yellow cablegram In which Steve wished her, rather stiffly, a merry Christmas. Obligingly Lottie accompanied Mona to the Sixty-third street house, but there was no yellow envelope on the hall table. “That settles it!” Mona thought despairingly. “He doesn’t love me.

THEY TELL ME

Paper Ballot Risk IT begins to look very much as if that vehicle of political chicanery, the Australian or paper ballot, may be used in Marion county in the fall general election. No one thing makes cheating in an election as easy as the paper ballot, and this county has been particularly fortunate in that it has in the past been able to use machines. To those unacquainted with differences between the paper and machine vote, it is necessary to explain that when the latter is used all that is necessary to tabulate the vote in a precinct is to open the recording section in the back and jot down the vote for each candidate. In this manner, by 8 p. m. of election day, results in a precinct are known. In using the paper ballot, it takes days to complete the tabulation and if there are a half dozen or more tickets on the ballot, it may take a week. The longer the delay the more chance for crooked work, because by then it is apparent how many votes are needed. It is very easy for a dishonest election clerk to mutilate a ballot, which is done merely by placing a check mark against a candidate for an office for which a vote already has been cast. If the political organization wishes to defeat a candidate of its own! party, the paper ballot affords an! easy vehicle. n b u An e xample in case exists in Marion county, where the Coffin organization is determined to prevent re-election of Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin, who has refused to permit the powers of his office to be used to feed the insatiable maw of the organization. Instead of appointing receivers of banks and other defunct institutions at the behest of the bosses, Chamberlin has selected what in his judgment are the most competent men. Therefore, he is marked for slaughter and the Coffin henchmen are favoring Earl Cox, the Democratic nominee, they tell me. With the paper ballot, it is possible, as has been, pointed out before, to scratch the Republican vote, already cast for Chamberlin, so that it will read as if Cox were the choice That is one reason, perhaps, why Lieutenant-Governor Edgar D. Bush held up the White bill, requiring a new or minority political party to present a petition signed by 1 per cent 6f all the voters in a previous general election to be placed on the ballot. The present law provides that only 500 names are needed and that will permit any group to file a ticket from President to township trustee. 8 a Because of this easy manner oi getting on the ballot, there may be a half-dozen or more tickets in the field by the November election, and the voting machines used here can not accommodate so large a number. Therefore, the paper ballot must be resorted to. Bush and Coffin have been political allies for years, and it is probable that, in response to the latter’s desires, the Lieutenant-Governor pocketed the White bill until it was too late to pass. The way is open to chicanery and fraud in the November election. There seems to be no escape, unless absolutely honest election boards are selected. This should be the duty of the respectable members of both parties.

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN

At the first onslaught of the warriors, Tarzan leaped to one side to avoid the blade thrust. As much to his own astonishment as theirs, what he had intended for but a nimble sidestep had carried him the length of the room! Then a thrust missed him by a mere hair s breadth, i'

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

He would have sent a cable at least. He could, easily enough.” Her thoughts were bitter as she prepared for the night. Barry did not love her, but she loved him. And it lay in her power to arrange his future. Well, she would do it. Her husband and Barry would both be happy. Only she herself would suffer by the arrangement. Suffer? That might be too strong a word. She might learn to lore her husband. She could try. It was 11 o'clock, but she could not sleep. The lire she had ordered earlier while she and Lottie talked, still glowed softly and sent little tongues of shadow across the celing. It had been a happy Christmas, but now she was alone. She won-

BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES

It was a closs call for the ap>man—and death for his opponent! As the point lunged at Tarzan, he swung his rod upon the unguarded head of the Veltorismakusian. Then he turned to aid Komodoflorensal, but the prince had his man against the wall and was „ running him through the heart, ;

dered if her husband had found and liked her gift, an Italian leather case fitted with two photographs of herself. Silly to give one’s own picture, but what was there to give such a man? A man who had everything! Probably he was reading now. She knew he was a light sleeper, seldom retired early. He had. given her jewels, furs, the happiness of making her family happy. She had given him—only her portrait. Suppose she were to call him now and give him, as a Christmas gift, herself? A gift In all likelihood for his last Christmas on earth? Her mind was made up. She would make him happy. She would call him now and tell him.

TAKING the little French telephone from the night table. Mona spoke the Twilands number. The telephone at Twilands rang in the hall and in the butler's pantry, but at night, she knew, it was switched to her husband’s bedroom. The operator repeated the ringing. “They do not answer,” she droned. “I said 9709,” Mona insisted. “Are you sure you're ringing that number?" At that instant the ringing was cut short. “Hello,” said a strange voice. “Is this Twilands?” An ominous fear overwhelmed the girl. She scarcely know why. The voice was not familiar. “Yes, Madame.”

OUT OUR WAY

—By Ahern

“We are going to trade clothes with these gentlemen,” said Tarzan, proceeding to take off his green tunic. Komodoflorensal followed his example. Tarzan then slipped his discarded tunic upon the body of one slain warrior. “.Why this?” questioned the prince. 7

Madame! A strange voice would have, in all likelihood, have said “Miss.” Someone was speaking who had recognized her! “I wish to speak with Mr. Townsend. Has he retired?” There was a silence. Mona could sense rather than hear a slight rustle. as though the telephone hsd changed hands. She could hear quick breathing against the transmitter. Then another voice smote her ear. "‘ls that you, John?” she asked quickly. “Mrs. Townsend? This is Dr. Dunn speaking. Youg husband—Mr. Garretson is on his way now to tell you—” “But my husband!’’ Mona gasped. “Is he ill?

Dressing slowly, she awaited the coming of her husband’s lawyer. Already she knew what he was coming to tell her.

When the change had been completed, Tarzan carried one of the corpses through the window embrasure to the edge of the great shaft, and hurled his burden into space. Then he pitched the second body after the first, and dropped two of their hooks after the corpse*.
