CHAPTER FORTY-THREE (Continued.) But she did not. Long after Lottie ceased moving about In the nexroom, long after lights had ceased to shine through the lattice work at the top of the <Jpor leading into the hallway and silence settled over ihe entire household, Mona lay wide-eyed and heartsick. She sat up in her huge bed, intent on the amazing stillness of the tropic night. The fragrance of honeysuckle and jasmine floated through the wide windows which Inclosed the stars. The fringe of trees beyond were carved in jade, bathed in white moonlight. Mona rose and. walking to th> window, drew in great, breaths of the sweetened air. Far below, the beach lay white in the /nooniight. The sea murmured. She could hear the waves roll in. hesitate, churn, then spill into whispering foam. She could hear the tide drag the lost wave back, gather, roll in again Otherwise the night was so still that she could hear the beating of her own heart. "I believe I'll go down there for a w-alk,” Morta decided presently. "Perhaps I can think there a little more easily. Perhaps I’ll be able to make up my mind what to do." She paused uncertainly. "There Is. of course, only one thing to do —and that is go home!" tt tt tt SWIFTLY and quietly she tossed ofl her pajamas, dressed in a white skirt, soft yellow’ sweater, and rubber-soled shoes. She knew it would be cool on the beach. I The door opened gently and the stairs, fortunately, made no sound beneath her feet. She crept across the wide hall to the door, which each night she had learned w’as left wide open. There were no prow’lers to fear on Holiday! Beneath the stars on the terrace, Mona stood for an instant, considering the stillness which held the house in its grip. Then she looked seaward. Far away toward the Grenadines 8 necklace of yellow’ lights was flung out on the water. The portlights of the motor boat bobfced in the harbor. As she moved down the pathway the flamboyant trees flicked her face gently with their fragrance. It did not occur to Mona to be afraid. She gained the sand. Ah. here she could really think! Was it safe to lie on the sand at night or any other time? Os course it was safe! Why not? Anyhow i it was delightful. Mona stretched her slender length along the shelf of rock where the shadows played, her hands beneath her head. This was comfort. This was peace. Silence and still more silence. All of a sudden Mona felt rather than heard a sound. Someone was near her? She sat upright, tense and alert. It had been foolish to come. Foolhardy and silly beyond w’ords. Who was making that sound? A bird, perhaps, or the wind? A shadow separated itself suddenly from a clump of trees and moved twoard her. The girl started to scream and found she could not. CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR IT was Barry's voice that Mona heard. "Oh, my darling, you've come at least!” Barry was beside her. After all these days and weeks of courteous formality, of coldness almost, he was again the Barry she had learned to love. For a moment Mona did not speak, did not turn her head. She sank against the white linen shoulder, against the arm which enclosed her and sighed.

Then, still without speaking, she raised ‘her hand and pressed it against Barry's face. "Yes. Barry, I—l'm here!” # They stood in silence. The'sands lay w’hite around them. The sea under the white moonlight rippled quietly. The flamboyant trees close at hand swayed softly. There seemed no one else in the world except these two. Mona did not look at Barry. Her head sank lower against his shoulder. She could feel the beating of his heart as tumultuous as her own. "Mona, why did you do it, darling?” he said at last. "Do what, Barry?” Still she did not look at him. He had caught her hand in his own. "Do what? Oh. Mona, how could you! Why did you marry my un- , cle?" The despair in his voice tore her heart.

In Retrospect
THE presence of Norman Thomas in Indiana and the reception accorded his address constitutes a real threat to the majority parties. True enough that third party movements, especially that of the j Socialist group, have not proved a i real menace in the past, but there is an undercurrent which apparently ! is favorable to new alignments. ; One reason that the Socialist i i party in the past did not succeed in i [ thrusting itself into a major position j was the fact that its great and lov- j i able leader, Eugene V. Debs, w’as not | a practical politician. Debs, however,! brought the Socialist party to its peak in 1912, with a vote of 36,931 | in Indiana. Thomas, to the contrary, in his conversations, reveals that he knows no political pa&ty can expect to sue- j | ceed unless it is organized from the precinct upward. In his address here, he exhorted | those in sympathy with the Socialist party "to organize the precincts, not on a basis of patronage, but on a basis of workers united in a common cause.” n n u He readily recognized the fact that no party with ideals can afford to be built upon a foundation of patronage and job holders, although that is on what the major ! parties today depend. That the contrary can be effectj ed is revealed best by Indiana his- ’ tory of the years when the Republican party had its birth. In 1852 the Free Soilers, progenitors of the Republican party of to- ! day, obtained only 3.302 votes for jits Governor candidate, as against 92,576 for the Democrat and 73,641 i for the Whig. The presidential j vote here was 95.340 for the Demoi crat, 80.901 for the Whig and 6,929 j for the Free Soiler. In 1854 the Free Soilers, the j Whigs, the Know-Nothings and I other minority groups joined in the state Fusion party and swept the state, electing the off-year ticket, ! a majority of the legislators and nine of the eleven members of conI gress by majorities of from 5,000 to i 13,000. tt tt tt But the Fusion triumph of 1854 did not repeat in 1856, because of the impetus given the Democrats through a national election. Now know’n at the People s party
"Why did you sun away?” she countered. He was miserable and she was adding to his misery. "How could I stay when I knew?” "Barry!” He did not speak for a moment but his arm tightened about her. "Barry! Do you think I married your uncle for his money?” "It certainly looked that way. You knew I had none. You knew—” b tt tt SHE shook her head. The tendrils of her hair touched hts cheek. “How could you think that of me?” Mona demanded. “You hadn’t asked me to marry you. You hadn't even said you loved, me!” "But you knew.” “I thought I did! That was why i when Mr. Garretson asked me to
in Indiana, it last the state ticket by approximately 5,000 votes, thus still showing amazing strength and the national ticket of the newly organized Republican ticket W’as defeated by 25,000 votes. But still gaining strength through organization, the Republicans sw’ept into power in 1860. Lincoln carried the state by 24,000 and,Lane, the Governor candidate, won by approximately 10,000 votes. A real issue, as well as a split among the majority groups, gave the Republican party its first real victory. The small victories in the years between helped build organization. Our conditions today afford a real issue—the question is: Can the Socialist party build an organization which ultimately will cause a realignment so that there will be created truly liberal and conservative parties? It will be interesting to watch.

BY BRUCE CATTON
JOE played the piano in a cheap orchestra at a cheap dance hall. He didn't, amount to much. He was uneducated and uncultured, he didn't have the swaggering selfconfidence that carried most of the dance hall habitues through life, his face was rather girlish and the one time in his life that he got a girl, a big "Spanish” strap took her away from him with no difficulty at all. But Joe had something like genius buried somewhere in him; and when he tried to fit the haunting, unintentionally melodic sounds of the city to music his genius expanded, lifted him up—and made him, eventually, a famous and successful composer, of the modernistic school. This happens in "The Giant Swing,” W. R. Burnett’s new novel. Joe, unfortunately, finds that success isn’t what it is cracked up to be. After a decade he revisits the city of his youth. The heroes of his adolescence have grown pudgy, pasty-faced, tawdry. His triumph tastes dusty in his mouth. And he concludes, sadly, that the best part of his life was that dismal time of long ago, when there still were dreams to dream and heroes to look up to. Mr. Burnett’s skill at making clear the inner selves of inarticulate folks needs no comment from me. "The Giant Swing” seems to me to be a better novel than his highlypraised "Little Caesar,” and I think you’ll enjoy it. Published by Harpers, it sells for $2.50.

The voice spoke again: “You may go, slave, and see that I am not disturbed.” They heard a door close. Tarzan crept along the passage, seeking the secret panel that connected with the apartment of the Royal Princess. Talaskar found it.

It didn't occur to me that I was going to Twilands for any other reason except to marry you!” "But when Garertson told you it was my uncle " Barry began. "He didn't! We talked it all over without mentioning the mans name. Finally I asked him just as I was going out the door who the man was and he said ‘Barry Townsend.’ ” "And you thought you were going to Twilands to marry me?” Barry said slowly.

“Wait here!” said Tarzan to his companions. “I am going to fetch the Princess Janzara. We should be able to BUY our liberty with such a hostage.” Tarzan gently slid the catch and pushed the panel slightly ajar. Upon a marble slab lay the princess with closed eyes.
Mona nodded "Until I was there in the sick room” "And by that time I was on board the Miranda” Barry's head dropped miserably and Mona reached out a hand once more and touched his cheek "It's not too late now Barry,” she said timidly. "It's not too late. We aren't old yet. And we re here ' "How can I marry my uncle’s wife?” demanded Barry bitterly.

Tarzan had crossed half way to her when a sudden draught closed the panel with a bang! Instantly Janzara was on her fret, facing him. For a moment she stood in silence gazing. Then she moved slowly toward him. ‘lt is you. Zuanthrol!” she breathed. “You have come for me?”
ways in happiness and peace. Why not? Mona stirred in Barry's arms. She laughed a little, happily. "Will you marry me, Mona? Right away?” He could feel her stiffen suddenly at the words. "I can't do that. Barry.” "Why not?” “Why do we have to think about that now? Isn't it enough that we have found each other and understand each other?" "But I don't understand you, Mona.” His voice was hurt, puzzled. "You said you loved me and now you say you can't marry me! Why?" She did not answer for a moment. "I have something I must do first. Barry,” she said slowly.

“I have come for you, Princess.” replied the ape-man. Janzara glided to him and threw her arjjns about his neck. Tarzan drew back and gently disengaged himself. “You do not understand, Princess,” he told her. “You are my prisoner.” “Yes,” she breathed, “I AM your prisoner. 1 love you.”

“You mean you must go home first?" She shook her head at this, then I slowly nodded. Maybe. It might be necessary.” “There isn't any reason why you ! can’t marry me, Is there?” he asked quickly. "Uncle didn't specify that you could never marry me—” "Not exactly. He said —” "Then it’s the money!” She nodded agreement and Barry's expression hardened. "You mean if you marry me you’ll forfeit your right to, the fortune?" As the girl did not ipeak he went on again. “Is that what you mean, Mona?" "If I marry any one. Barry.” 1 (To Bp Continued!
