He does not want Miss Ella's money and hopes to find some wav to Rive it back to the rightful Inheritors. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE THE lfJit thing Elinor wished that morning was the further strain of seeing Barrett Colvin. He had, with a blunt, inconsiderate strength she had not dreamed he possessed, overridden her suggestion that he should wait for the interview until her father was better. As she said those last words her voice caught. “I must see you,” Barrett repeated. “It Is important for both of us—” ‘‘l don’t see how it could be, Mr. Colvin.” There was a silence. He broke it by saying, ‘ I'm coming to see you immediately. I’ll only stay a few moments. Will you see that I am admitted? I’m only asking because It's really necessary—" ‘‘Yes, I’ll see you for a few moments, Mr. Colvin,” she promised after another brief silence. "Thank you.” she heard. She put down the telephone. Benson stood waiting and she knew by his dejected look that something else of a troublesome nature had come up. “It’s the druggist, Miss Elinor," Benson stated miserably. “He won’t leave the medicine unless It is paid for—’’ Purse in hand, she hurried to the foyer where the delivery boy waited, a trifle insolent because of his instructions. She could still settle those small charges. But the two nurses, the doctor, the endless needs made by a critically sick patient—how would she manage to pay such bills? She had talked that morning to the ono clerk in her father’s decaying brokerage office. He had stammered that he needed his salary. tt a HOW are things at the office, Mr. Gerould?” she had asked. “Bad,” he told her bluntly, though his eyes were sympathetic. "You see,” he stammered, "so many people were waiting with the expectation that Mr. Stafford would be remembered rather generously in Miss Sexton's will. The place is alive now with folks trying to collect what they can.” "Yes, I know,” she answered dully. She moistened her stiffened, drying lips. "How much did my father owe you?" she asked. She could not let that go. The man had worked faithfully for her father for years. Besides, there were his two small daughters and his ailing wife. She paid him his salary with a ring worth twice the amount and S2O from her purse. "I'm awfully sorry for you, Miss Stafford,” said the clerk, leaving. Her answering smile was a trifle twisted despite her effort to keep it genuine. "Thank you,” she answered. Barrett Colvin’s telephone call had come just after that. She received him in the drawing room. She had not been able to step into the library since she had seen the blood stains on a Chinese rug that, light in hue. showed them clearly. "Miss Stafford.” she heard Barrett say and saw him bow. She murmured something vague. “I'm going to sit down just a moment, please.” She settled after his words and he dropped to a chair facing her. “I have a business proposition to make to you,” he began bluntly. “Yes?” she prompted. "A proposition that is—will be—-

entirely one of a business nature. Will you keep that in mind, please?’’ "Yes.” "I know, Miss Stafford—l have made a point of learning that your credit is almost exhausted and that your father's business was on the verge of collapse before this—accident.” an a HER rounded chin went up with a little jerk. He saw this and went on swiftly, smoothly. "I know and you know that Miss Ella Sexton’s will was unfair to your father and your relatives, the Thropes!” “Yes, but I don’t blame you—” “That doesn't matter. What you and I feel about blame—or anything—can’t matter in this affair we must discuss. It's entirely a cold-blooded, emotionless affair which has to do with the righting of that unjust will. I want to give back to the Thropes the money they should have had and need. I want to give your father the money that will help him in his chance to get well. I shall never touch a cent of the money left by Miss Sexton. Unless you help me it will go to charities in no particular need of it. The money really belongs to the Thropes and your father.” She said nothing. “You can help me right a tragic wrong,” Barrett went on. “How?" “By marrying me,” he said slcwiy. She lost color and he went on hastily. "I’m asking you to live in my house as my guest for one year. In that way, I can turn over to you and the Thropes the money that is morally, if not legally, yours and theirs. It's the only way to rectify the mistake of your aunt who unfortunately was sound of mind, if not of heart, when she made her will.” "But why for a year?” Elinor asked brokenly. She was oddly dizzy and disconcerted. “Because,” he answered, “a year will quiet any idle talk there may be. I don't want any one to know the reason for our marriage. The world would misunderstand. It might possibly see me as a hero instead of a man who merely happens to be honest enough not to want to rob others. u a a TIE paused. He saw her draw a deep breath. She looked remarkably like a little girl who Is balked at her lessons. She whispered, "I don’t know—” She held a finger against her lips, and he noticed that her hand was trembling. For a fleeting space, and against his reason, the old tenderness for her returned. “All I'm asking,” he said, "is that for a year you will, in public, conduct yourself as my wife. You will have to forego, lor the rime, the admiration to which you have been accustomed——” She smiled a little at that, but he did not understand her smile. "And in turn,” he continued more weightily, "I give you my word that I will never raise my hand to touch you except before others. We may have to masquerade a little before others. You can have my word that you will be safe. He saw her moisten her lips, hesitate. Benson appeared in the broad doorway. “It's that Mr. Streeter again, Miss Stafford,’ he said apologetically. “He pushed past me and refuses to go. He says he must see you. He won't wait ” “A collector?” Barrett asked. Elinor nodded and his gaze followed a swallow on the rounded, soft column of her throat. For a moment she closed her eyes. “I'll deal with him.” said Barrett as a small, rotund man appeared in the door. (To Be Continued'

Lieutenant Cecil and the girl were so intent in keeping out of the lion’s reach tha? they had not noticed the silent approach of the ape-man. It was Numa who first became aware of the intruder. The lion immediately evinced his displeasure by a series of warning cries.

This called the attention of the two behind the airplane to the newcomer,, They saw Numa leap from the cockpit and advance upon Tarzan. The ape-man, carrying his stout spear in readiness, moved deliberately onward. They saw the man and lion slop simultaneously not more than a yard apart.

The beast's tail whipped from side to side as deep-throated growls rumbled from his cavernous chest. And then the great black-maned lion charged. To have attempted to meet the full shock of a lion's charge would have been suicidal. Instead. Tarzan resorted to methods of agility and cunning.

—By Edgar Rice Burroughs

With outspread, raking talons and bared langs, Numa sprang for the naked yhesp of the ape-man. Throwing up his left arm as a boxer might ward off a blow, Tarzan struck upward beneath the left forearm of the lion at the same time rushing in with his shoulder beneath the animal's body.
