Barrett to promise he all! never tea any one the truth of the affair. NOW .0 ON WITH THE STORY WHEN Barrett arrived home that afternoon, he heard music. Someone w,;s playing the piano beautifully. Elinor, of course. Listening, he forgot the promise Marcia had exacted from him—a vow which, if kept, might cause untold difficulties. Barrett knew that, and yet he knew that he would kr“p it. What was Elinor playing? Something lifting, banting. He slipped from his coat in the slow, fumbling manner of the preoccupied. From the rear of the hall. Higgins came forward, his voice reduced to a whisper. "Mr. Barrett, the cook and the maids wanted to hear the music. I left the doors open to the rear of the house. I hope it was all right?” "Perfectly all right. I’m sure Mrs. Colvin would be glad to have them listen if they enjoy it." Higgins took Barrett’s hat and coat and Barrett pushed open the drawing room door. Elinor rose, seeing him. She flushed slightly. "I wasn’t expecting you,so soon,” she confessed. He crossed the room quickly. ‘‘lt’s been years,’ he said, “since there has been any music in this house.” The tone of his voice told her that he had missed it. "What was that you were playing as I came in?” he asked. He was so absorbed that she forgot to be self-conscious. Oh, that? Something by Kevin. I’ve forgotten what it’s called.” She seated herself again and began to finger the melody. He leaned his arms on the piano, looking down at her as she repeated the strain that had captured him. “That’s it,” he murmured. “It is sweet.” “Very!” tt a a HER hands grew still, and he said quickly: "Please don't stop." “What do you want me to play?” "Anything you like ” he told her. Higgins entered silently with the tea tray to the strains of Victor Herbert’s "Gypsy Sweetheart.” I hadn't realized how much I’ve missed hearing music," he commented. as he moved across the room, h She sat in the chair behind the tea table, and he took his place near her in a low chair that elbowed the fire. “Music malu's you forget your troubles." he went on. "Yes. if they aren’t too deep. This is the first time I’ve played since father was hurt.” It was true, but it was not the whole truth. She had hot, until an hour ago, touched a piano since Barrett Colvin had kissed her to ride away. "We must try to be friends.” he said abruptly, “for the time that we are to be together—” tt a a IT chilled her definitely, though she did not know why. Certainly, she reflected, she had not dreamed that hi? arrangement could become permanent. She had said again and again to the unruly mind chamber that housed her dreams, “You mustn’t consider that for a second!” She was too inexperienced to know that dreams denied sometimes thrive lustily while those indulged frequently may wear thin.

KEEPS FRESH INEXPENSIVE SATISFYING

* "You know.” she said slowly, "that you can have your freedom whenever you want it. I’ve been | terrified by the thought of your—falling in love with someone darting this time " ' I am not going to fall in love," he assured her almost harshly. Then he laughed ■ Isn’t it quite the modern touch to have a wife speak of giving her : husband his freedom on the afternoon of their wedding day?” She, too, laughed, but the words wife’ and hustfand” had made her ; cheeks flush. "Besides. I don’t happen to want —freedom," he stated next. "You’re very gallant," -he mur--1 mured. He denied that with a somewhat stern, “No. I’m afraid you will have : to look elsewhere for gallantry. I’ve never been able to do anything | more interesting than telling the : truth Ido —that.” "So do I,” she said. The words ' sounded flatly definite. Barrett refleeted that unless one knew her very well, knew her as well as he did. it would certainly have been easv to be deceived by those words. "There's one thing,” Barrett saxl i heavily "While we are, at least to j the world, married, we’ll both have ; to play fair. No flirtations on either side. I am afraid I would be rather ugly about—such affairs.” Her eyes were on his, w*ide and wondering. "Os course not," she agreed bluntly. "Do you think I would take all you've given me without doing all I Can to deserve it?” He stared at her steadily, measuringly. She was really a marvel, he decided. The world had lost ; an actress when he had gained a wife. tt tt a A MOMENT later he sat back, his tea finished, to realize that he had completely forgotten the disagreeable hour with Marcia and the menace it had left. "I think,” he heard Elinor saying, "that I’ll go up to my room.” “Must you?” he broke out. "No, but—” "Look here,” he said. ‘We’re not going to dodge one another, are we? Can’t we be friends as I suggested? I was just thinking how thundering it is to have you pouring my tea and sitting here.” "I don’t want to bother you when you'd rather be alone.” “When a man wants to be alone he has pressing business that must be done,” he pointed out. “And when a woman wants to be alone, hasn't she a headache?” "I guess that’s true,” she admitted, smiling. "Well, have you a headache?” “No. Have you any business you must attend?” They both laughed as he said his definite, “No.” It was so easy to laugh. “Do you play chess?” she asked uncertainly. “Yes. Would you like to play?” “I’d enjoy it. if you would.” A moment later Higgins brought the chess table and the men. Bari rett knew* he played a fair game, | but after a half-hour of concentraj tion and complete silence she looked up at him to laugh impishly and i say, “Your move, Mr. Colvin, and ; where do we go from here?” He hadn’t anywhere to go. “I’ll be darned!” Barrett said, frowning ;at the board. Then he smiled un- | willingly. “I’ll get you next time.” “You lost your queen,” she said j severely, “and there really wasn't i any reason for it.” (To Be Continued) WEEKLY PAPER BOUGHT Ex-Congressman and Son Purchase Fairmount News.

As Tarzan of the Apes drew himself over the topmost ledge the two watchers below him heard a chorus of shouts. And Tarzan. scrambling erect, was astonished to see a British Tommy leveling his l'ihe at him. Just in time, the ape-man cried: "Dent shoot: we are friends.” Hearing English spoken by this naked giant, the soldier ran forward.

Soon the British sergeant in command of the advance guard approached. Explanations followed as the main body of the expedition sent out to trace Lieutenant Cecil came into view. Followed many hours of arduous work before Roger and the girl spy were brought from the gorge's depths. First aid was given, but joy did mct to revive the two.

By sundown all were on the way to the camp of their rescuers. It arranged that next morning Lieutenant Cecil and she. whom Tarzan knew as the Red spy. should be transported by plane to British headquarters. The ape-man declined the offer to accompany them, explaining that his objective lay westward. “You are not going with us?” asked the girl.

‘No,” replied the ape-man. “I continue my journey alone.” She gave him an appeaung glance. "You will go back into that terrible jungle?" she asked. “We shall never see you again?" He locked at her a moment in silence. “Never," he replied, and without another word turned and walked away. Just then Colonel Capell arrived by airplane.
