Jappy began slowly. "You've got to know this. Jerry Wyman is married and his bee. for three months. “That girl you saw him with last summer—the one he said was his sister— well, she's Mrs. Wyman now. I thought I'd better tell you, but—oh, please, Sheila —don't look like that!" CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE a ''HE waitress brought the codec . and set, it before the two girls. Coffee in green cups on a silver tray. “But you mustn’t take it that way," Jappy said anxiously. "You mustn’t! Why. Jerry Wyman isn't worth your little finger. Please, Sheila—!” “I’m all right,” Sheila said. But her face was pale, her lips trembling. “I'm—l'm, perfectly alt right, Jappy.” Her hands, beneath the table’s edge, were gripped together. That seemed to help her steady herself. • Drink your coffee!" Jappy urged. ,“I didn’t mean to shock you that. Only—well, he is married: And he was engaged to that other girl all the time. The one you saw him with at the night club. That’s why he didn’t introduce you. “Don’t you see? A man would have been glad to introduce his sister to the featured dancer in a place like that, but not the girl he was going to marry. He couldn’t do that very well.” “No—l suppose not. Under the circumstances —” Jappy’s quick look was a question, Sheila laughed bitterly. “I wasn’t engaged to him. No. But he had talked about marriage. We both talked about it. Oh, how melodramatic that sounds! “But he had and, Jappy. I believed him. I thought—well, that he was different from the other men 1 know." Jappy nodded wisely. “Sure. I know. It’s because of this idea of yours about leaving the stage. You thought Jerry Wyman was different because he came from a small town and worked in a factory. "Then when you knew' he had money you still were sure he wasn’t like the rich men in New York. But, Sheila, there are plenty of others. Better men than jerry Wyman! “Why, for half the devotion Dick Stanley has showered your way. I’d dance the length of Broadway with hand springs thrown in!” . "But, Jappy, I love Jerry.” “He's not worth it!” They finished their coffee in silence, then rose, paid the cheek and went out on the street. It was the same street, familiar, noisy, cluttered with little shops, old houses with grimy stone fronts that had at one time housed the city's social elite. Taxis, trucks, private cars milling in the street. The curb was crowded with hurrying men and women, laundry boys, messengers with hands in pockets, whistling. The world w r as just as it had been, but for Sheila how different! a a a SHE walked slowly, her eyes blurred with tears. “There isn’t anything you can do about it,” offered Jappy uneasily. “I wouldn’t have told you. but I was afraid someone else would. The bunch were talking about It at Frances Barton's. “Frances used to live in Spencer. She knew Jerry Wyman when she was a kid. She thought you had been getting a rotten deal." The hot color flooded Sheila’s cheeks. So the “bunch” had been talking about her feeling for Jerry! Sheila herself had not discussed it except with Jappy and Tillie Samper. Tillie. in love with Jim Blaine, Jia<l been an interested listener. Girls in love have to talk about the objects of their devotion. Many an evening, curled up on her bed, Sheila had confided to Tillie. She had told her about the color of Jerry's hair, how blue his eyes were, how sunburned he was and how becoming was that tanned skin. But she had never repeated to Tillie the precious things Jerry had said—words which now she knowhad meant less than nothing to him. Jappy went on trying to make things easier. “Listen, honey," ■ she said. “You weren’t Jerry’s Lkind. Oh, I know that you belong ito one of the best families in the r theater. “You're aristocracy of the stage and all that, But in a town like Spencer, people wouldn't understand about that. They think every girl on the stage wears too much paint and is no better than she should be. Can't you see howjerry's parents would feel about his marrying a dancer? "Jerry isn't to blame for everything, dear. He's been raised that jvay. There's a big difference to him between a girl who lives at home with her parents and is pro-

tected, and a girl like you or me." “He did respect me, Jappy." a a a THE other girl considered this silently. Then she said, “Are you coming with me to Tommy Sloan's? I wish you would. I hate to leave you feeling the way I do. Maybe I'd better call Tillie—” “No, don’t bother,” Sheila Interrupted quickly. "She's working some where anyhow*. I'll go with you to Tommy's and then when I’m feeling more like myself I’ll go home." A few days later Jappy heard the whole story from Frances Barton. “You see it was this way," Frances said. “I’ve known Jerry ever since I was a kid. He was nice enough, but when my folks couldn’t afford to send me to a private school Jerry stopped Inviting me to his parties. Marcia, his sister, never even knew I was alive. “Later I joined a show and when we played in Spencer there was Jerry anxious to be seen with me, to show his friends that he knew a girl in the show. “Maybe he really was in love with Sheila, but he's been engaged to Jean Morgan for years. I guess the match was arranged when they were in their cradles. The Wymans and the Morgans are mixed up together in business. “The Morgan girls and their set are the only ones who count, according to the Wymans. The rest of us who work for a living simply don’t rate. We’re not important enough to be considered. And as for marrying one of us well, that would be completely out of the question!"

CONTRACT BRIDGE BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League WHAT to do with your mother-in-law on the family’s night out no longer is a problem if she plays contract bridge. She makes an ideal fourth to fill up a table, as it is a known fact that she adheres strictly to the “system.” At least this is how it works out in the Stong family at Knoxville, Tenn., where Mrs. Harold Clark, mother of Mrs. Benton J. Stong. plays an exceptionally good hand of bridge. On my way to St. Petersburg I had the pleasure of stopping off at Knoxville and enjoying an evening of bridge with these Knoxville folk, and the following interesting hand came up.

A K-6-5 VA-Q-3 ♦ 6-3-2 A7-6-5-3 A Q-J-8- north A lO-7 4-3 NORTH v9 _ g _ V 7-4 S > 6-2 ♦ K-7-4 to ♦ J-10-AK-J-8 > H 9-5 Doalee JLIO-4-2 SOUTH ‘ A A-9-2 V K-J-10-5 ♦ A-Q-8 AA-Q-9 8

The Bidding: Mrs. Clark was sitting in the South pasition. She had an ideal hand for an opening one no trump bid—every suit stopped, tenace positions and plenty of high card tricks. Therefore, her opening declaration was one no trump. Stong, who was holding the West hand, passed. North, with an ace and a king, had sufficient strength to jump her partner ,to two no trump. Mrs. Clark in the South immediately raised the contract to three no trump. The Play Mr. Stong opened with his fourth best spade—the four. The ten was played from the East hand, and Mrs. Clark won the trick with the ace. Stopping a moment to count up her hand, she found that she had four sure heart tricks, two spade tricks, two aces; but this was only eight, one trick short of her contract. Os course, she could take two finesses, and if she found either one of them right, her contract was made. However, both kings might lie on the wrong .side, and if they did her contract would lose. Therefore. Mrs. Clark decided not to take the doubtful finesses, but to run off her four good heart tricks. On the fourth heart, she discarded the deuce of diamonds from dummy. Stong in the West followed with two hearts and then discarded the seven of diamonds and the eight of clubs. Mrs. Clark's next play was a small spade, which she won in dummy with the king, noting the drop of the three of spades from the West hand, which marked Stong with five spades, originally. Mrs. Clark now returned the six of spades from dummy, playing the nine from her own hand, throwing her son-in-law in the lead. Stong now cashed his two good spades, upon which Mrs. Clark discarded the eight of diamonds and the nine of clubs, leaving her with the ace and queen of diamonds, and the ace and queen of clubs. Stong held the king and four of diamonds and the king and jack of clubs. Stong now was forced to lead directly into Mrs. Clark's tenace positions and. of course, the lead of either a club or a diamond gives Mrs. Clark her contract of three no trump. Do not take what might prove to be a losing finesse, if there is a safer way to play the hand. iCoovrlght. 1933. bv NBA Service. Inc.l

TARZAN THE UNTAMED

Only a moment, however, did Tarzan hesitate. He knew that he could not permit what was about to happen to the girl, and though the acknowledgment shamed him, for he believed it his weakness, it, had to be admitted.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Once again must he save this hated Red spy's life! The leading shes were almost upon the girl when Tarzan leaped among them, and with heavy blows scattered them to right and left. Then the bulls came to share in the kill.

They thought this new ape-t'ning was about to make the kill that he might steal all the flesh for himself. They found him facing them, with an arm thrown about the creature as though to protect her. “This is Tarzan's she," he said, “do not harm her.” •

It was the only way he could make them understand they must not slay her. He was glad the girl could not interpret his words. Forced against his will to protect his enemy, Tarzan growled in excuse to himself: “She is a woman, so it could not be otherwise.”
