"You Stafford has pride? “An immense amount. I don’t know where she got it nor all the lovely qualities she has, though I always liked Bentwell when he was a boy.” She turned her head to hide the hot tears. „ "I’ve got to 'get’ around this damnable will," Barrett said. "I want you to let me put your boys through college. You will, won’t you?" For the first time, he saw the room and read the need that was apparent everywhere. He must manage to help them somehow! "I don’t know, Mr. Colvin. "I’d have to talk with Jim, my husband. We don't take help very easily. We arent’s—just that kind,” she answered uncertainty. "But this isn't help .Mrs. Thrope. It isn’t my money. It belongs to you and the Staffords!” She shook her head. “Aunt Ella was in her right mind,” she reminded gently. His colorless face stiffened. He was doomed to a fierce battle with pride, he saw. Perhaps his arguments would do no more than strengthen the pride he saw before him in a frayed wash house dress that had cast $2. "Mrs. Thrope,” he confessed, “this whole thing makes me miserable.” “I've no doubt of that, Mr. Colvin,” she agreed in her kind way. "But you couldn't help it and it’s done and over!” "But,” he protested, “one can right a wrong—when it's as simple as this one!” "I don’t know about that, Mr. Colvin,” she said slowly, uncertainly. a a a HE rose. "You’re going to think it over.” he urged, "and the needs of your boys.” Bessie rase, too, a little stilff y. It always “took it out of her Knees” to clean the refrigerator, a household god before which she must kneel. "I never forget the needs of my boys,” she answered. “But, you see, Mr. Colvin—it's difficult to explain • —it's this way. I feel that the boys’ biggest need will be answered by their knowing that we made our own way in the world, that even if we failed, we didn't beg. I’ve seen too much of what taking can do to people—and it isn't a pretty thing to see. It makes lying and cheating and all the things that are so much worse than not having things.” She was thinking of Lida Stafford. Barrett, looking on her, felt humbled. “You’re a fine mother,” he said. She brushed his tribute aside with an embarrassed, “Oh. no!" Because he saw that she had been deeply touched by his words as well as embarrassed by them, he asked quickly if there was any news Bentwell Stafford. How had he passed the night?

The night nad been a bad one. Bessie told him. There could be no encouragement for a few days, if indeed there could be then. ’ It. he goes.” she ended, “we re going to ask Elinor to live with us.” Again he saw, and felt, the room. Again his heart chilled He could not irrfagine Elinor happy in that house, so shabby, dark and depressing! a a r ELINOR had a strong ally, he realized. He thought., “If you weren't so good yourself you'd know her better.” “Well,” he said wearily, “I'll be on my way.” The trip had been useless. "If there’s anything I can do you'll let me know?” He went down the cement steps, covered for the winter with slats of wood. Bessie stood smiling at i the door until Hutten had closed the motor door after Barr°tt. BarI rett waved at her. “God'biess you!” he reflected. “You’re right, but it .makes things worse for .ne!” Hutten chose the bridge over : which Barrett had once ridden with Elinor. Riding across its span again, Barrett thought bitterly of his happiness that day. The look of Bessie’s parlor haunted him, as he looked dismally on the gray stretch of water chilled by floating patches of slush-ice. The look of that room had toid Barrett too much of Bessie Thrope’s needs, her husband’s needs, the boys’ needs. It was a clear and depressing chart. Suddenly, as they reached the other side of the bridge, his eyes became a slit. He saw the way out. The one way out! He had been leaning back in the seat. Now he was suddenly erect and tense. He lighted a cigaret with nervous finI gers, staring ahead w’lth concen- ! trated gaze that took in nothing bej fore him. a a a THE thing had to be planned. He must think it through care- ; fully, then go after it. Yes, it was I the one way out! Bessie Thrope evidently cared deeply for her nice. She was not | the sort of woman who would think | to decorate herself by parading a family affection that was false. And with enough loving, taking was possible. Pride could be surmounted The car had halted before his door and he stepped from it briskly. “Wait,’ he instructed the chauffeur. He ran up the steps and into the house, picked up the librarytelephone without removing his heavy coat. He gave a number and heard the answering voice. He said. “This is Barrett Colvin speaking. I wish to talk to Miss Elinor Stafford. Please ask her to speak with me. Tell her the matter is extremely urgent—” There was a pause that seemed years. Barrett waited restlessly. ! Then Elinor's voice, a trifle unsteady, came over the wire. (To Be Continued)

TARZAN THE UNTAMED

At Olga's sudden cry of alarm Roger Cecil looked quickly in the direction of her gaze to see the massive head of a great lion who was regarding them from a rock projection. The beast advanced slowly now. toward them. "Quick!” cried the man. "Climb aboard!”

He helped the girl over the side of the wrecked airplane, and drew his pistol. Olga laughed. "Small chance,” she said calmly. Numa. the lion, came close to the plane and gazed up at them. "Magnificent, isn't he?” exclaimed the man. "Beautiful,” she commented. “Why, his coat is almost black!”

Suddenly the lion bared his fangs, emitted an angry roar and crouched for a spring. Immediately Roger discharged his pistol into the ground before the beast. Enraged now, with a horrid roar, Numa sprang as man and girl vaulted nimbly to the opposite side of the plane.

—By Edgar Rice Burroughs

The lion’s leap landed han in the forward cockpit. Here, oddly enough, his anger seemed suddenly to leave him for he made no immediate move toward either of them. It was this scene upon which Tarzan of the Apes looked as he rounded the bend of the gorge above the plane.
