NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FOUR TWO days later Barrett Colvin, in Connecticut, stepped into his low roadster. His ward, who at 9 years was beginning to stretch to the lamed Colvin height, stood near by. looking at Barrett wistfully. "I do wish you could stay longer!” he said. Then, with an effort, he forced a smile, adding, “It was nice of you to come. I'm glad you came!” Barrett leaned from the car to take the boy’s hand. “I'm coming hack!’" he promised, “and we’re going to have some good times!” He was tremendously attracted to Gerald, who was clever without being too serious, who was, in short, the reassuringly normal, healtyminded fabric for a man. “It was fine of you to come, Mr. Barry 7, and to send me all those cards when you were away. I’d pretty nearly forgotten what you looked like. You see it was a long time ago that you went away.” “That’s true,” Barrett agreed, contritely. “Are you going to stay here a while now?” the boy asked. He tri"d, without success, to make his question casual. “I will, I promise, Gerald, until It’s easy for you to let me go ” “Gee whiz, I don’t see how you can ever go then!” Jerry commented, smiling. “We all freckle that way,” Barrett thought. He tightened his hand on the boy’s. Nice youngster! Deserving of everything square and good! Odd how it made you feel to see family traits intensify . . . rather melted a heart and made you humble. “I wish I could take you back with me, Jerry,” said Barrett without knowing that he had meant to say it. “Gee whiz, v.'ouldn’t that be great!” Gerald answered. His eyes brightened. “I will—some day!” Barrett stated. and his chin squared. “And I keep my word,” he thought, looking down on Jerry; “I wonder whether you know that?” a u MRS. COOK, in whose house Gerald made his home, appeared at the doorway. “You’ll catch cold without your hat, Gerald!” she called sharply. Gerald's face changed; Barret* frowned, pulling on his thick gloves. He was not at all satisfied about the situation. Gerald had admitted that he would like anew tutor, that he had not ‘‘exactly liked” Mr. Dexter. Playing checkers with Barrett, he had said, “This is fine. I like to playcheckers, but, you see, nobody ever has time to play with me.” Rolling toward New York, Barrett wondered perplexedly where he was to find the new, right home for Gerald, a home ruled by some comfortably portly soul who would know that a small boy's needs are not entirely answered by a full dinner plate and who would see to it that he was fed in all ways. He hated rich men’s idle sons; he could not be one. Archeology was not his hobby but his work, and a work to which he devoted his entire

i energy. It was absurd, he realized, i to reproach himself with the fact ; that he had not stayed at home to ; play nursemaid to his sister's child. Yet. he had known his sister, and ! his compunction persisted. Marcia had promised that through ! old Annie, a maid who knew of the affair, she would watch over the ! boy. So far as Barrett could dis--1 cover Annie had not made even one trip to Mrs. Cooke's farm house. He felt increasing resentment, reminding himself that he was a fool to have placed the slightest trust in any of Marcia's easy promises. 000 ''TMFE boy was appealing, too. Engagingly unspoiled, obviously a truth-teller and softened so easily by kindness. It was all too evident that kindnesses were not common for him. “Damn!” said Barrett, half-aloud but feelingly. He could not remember being more shamed and irritated. Shamed at having had part in an arrangement so patently unsatisfactory and irritated by Marcia's running true, as she always did, to her selfish type. Civilization? The devil with it! Allowing such tangles to be hidden, making them things to hide! Barrett was weary of lies, evasions, unfairness to those who could not declare their rights. He mused unhappily for some time on these and other dark facts. The sting of the first hard frost was in the air. A few neglected pumpkins, puckered and shrunken by the bitter night, gleamed between shocks of corn. Ahead, in a hollow which was j severed by the twisting, silvered | macadam road, was a wood where modest oaks, clinging tenaciously to summer garb, made brown patches in the grey of blended boughs and tree trunks. Yes, it was good to be alive and to have a go at the old world in spite of everything, Barrett decided. Suddenly again he saw Elinor Stafford's young face raised to his. The vision disconcerted him. He never had had the least use for “old fools hovering around spring flowers”—men with thinned locks, thick waist lines and shortened breath who danced attendance on pretty young girls. 000 TT was true that he was not in that class physically. He had kept remarkably fit. A man can not wield a pick under a desert sun without some return in hardness! He tried to visualize her as she had looked four years ago but the new vision covered and dimmed the old. When Barrett reached home, he found Higgins waiting with several messages. Mrs. Radnor had telephoned and asked Mr. Barrett to telephone her between 6 and 7. A young gentleman named Dexter had called. He had not been willing to his mission to Higgins but had promised to call another time. Barrett’s square chin became dangerously set. He did not know what Gerald’s erstwhile tutor, Dexter, could want of him, but he knew r exactly what he wanted from Dexter if he intruded—or tried to intrude. Barrett would enjoy the solace of pitching him out and he had not seen the man he could not deal with in this way if he wished to. Higgins waited. Quite obviously he had something else to say. “Well?” Barrett prompted ft little shortly. He had been put out by Dexter’s daring to call. The matter was closed; he had dismissed Dexter. “Miss Ella Sexton sent you a note at noon, sir,” Higgins said. “I went over to tell her you were gone from town and she sent back word through Craven that she would like you to read her note as soon as you returned.” (To Be Continued)

The girl tried to voice her thanks to the apeman, but he silenced her with a gesture. “You saved yourself,” he insisted, "for had you been unable to pilot the plane, I could not have helped you. Now you two have the means of returning to the settlements.

‘‘Go at once,” commanded the ape-man. ‘‘Neither of you belong in the jungle.” "It is no place for us, at least.” smiled Roger, “nor any other white man. Why don’t you come with us back to civilization?” Tarzan shook his head. "I was bom in the jungle. I do not wish to live or elsewhere.

“The quicker you go the quicker you will reach safety,” said the ape-man. They walked to the plane together. Roger grasped Tarzan’s hand, then clambered into the pilot’s seat. “Good-bye,” said the girl as she extended her hand to Tarzan. “Before I go won’t you tell me that you don't hate me any more?” face clouded.

Without a word he picked up Oiga and lifted her to her place behind the Englishman. An expression of pain crossed the girl's beautiful face. A moment later the two were being borne rapidly toward the east. In the center of the meadow stood the ape-man watching them. “It is too bad that she ja a Red and a spy,” he said, "for she is very harej to hate.”
