She had not turned the key in the lock, he realized, and by that small omission had made plain her trust In him. He dallied long over his rigaret. He would make her as comfortable in his home as she could be, he vowed She must have all the pretty things she had lacked. She might pay the bills for her father's illness, decide SI,OOO was enough for the Thropes and keep the rest for herself. That, however, was not his business. He had done all he could to return the fortune to Miss Ella’s relatives. And sure enough, there was trouble about the money, but not the trouble he had expected. Three days later, Barrett arrived home toward the close of the afternoon to find Elinor waiting for him in the hall. She said, “Barrett, will you help me? I’m sorry to trouble you but I’ve worked and worked and nothing comes right. I’m so stupid!” “What am I here for?” he questioned. slipping from his coat with unusual haste. “It’s about Aunt Ella’s money,” she explained. She sighed, "I never was at all clever about figures.” “We won't worry about that,” he comforted her. “We'll fix it in no time.” The gratitude in her glance made him look away. “I wish you knew,” she said, “how fine I think you are—how wonderful you’ve been about all this!” She was twisting a handkerchief, staring at him with eyes not yet world-wise enough to be able to veil any tragedy. “You're an adorable child,” he said, "and you’re talking nonsense. Now suppose we go to the library and look over your problem?” a a a 'T'HEY settled side by side before his big desk. Humbly and with some embarrassment, Elinor gave him a paper on which she had written very carefully large figures under the names, “Bessie,” “Mother,” “Father.” He considered these as his brows tightened. “But you’ll have nothing left for yourself!” he objected. < “Why, I don't need anything! I couldn’t, really, take it. I’d feel as if I’d been small, scheming, working for myself—” He turned to face her. “Os course," he said slowly, “you'll have your alimony—” “Oh, no! I couldn't take—anything from you!” “Look here, child!” He moved, speaking, to face her more fully. “We should have had this out before we were married but since we didn’t, here goes. Do you think I would let any woman—or stubborn youngster—be my wife without seeing to it that she was provided for adequately when the time and circumstance makes her cease to be my wife?” “I don't know.” He had never seen her more feminine—mad-

The only mistake he made on the entire job was in the laying of six shingles, which were put on wrong side out. Mr. Burdett was not a carpenter before he became blind, but a jeweler. The construction of the house required two years. Next: What name did the ancients have for the planet Venus?

deningly, alluringly so. “But I can’t," Eiinor went on, “I really can't take any money from any one —as things are. Don't you see?” “No, I don't see!” “But—” “How are you planning to care for yourself?” he broke in. “Well,” she explained slowly, “I can give music lessons.” “Yes?” he queried grimly. He would see her doing it, he reflected satirically. “Yes, really. And at night I could play in a restaurant.” BBS HE laughed shortly. “But it happens,” he pointed out. his lowered eyelids making his gaze a condensed slit, “that I won’t have that! You playing in some damned restaurant!” ■ I could clerk or be a social secretary—if you preferred that,” she offered meekly. “I could do almost anything you thought to be suitable. I'm very strong—” “My God!” he flung out. “Excuse me, Elinor—” He pushed back his chair, arose and crossed the room He had not dreamed that she could be so obstinate. The girl sat still, crushed by his disapproval. “It's a year ahead,” she pointed cut timidly. “Perhaps by then we can come to some arrangement that will satisfy us both.” ,“I won’t do anything you don't want me to do!” she promised. There were tears in her eyes. The thawing moment was gone. Hp laughed mirthlessly. “I'm going to keep enough to support myself while I'm here,” Elinor went on. He flushed deeply. “That,” he said, “is the first really unkind thing I've heard you say.” “But Barrett—” “Elinor!” Again he sat down beside her. "I am going to support you while you are in this house and you're going to be suitably garbed. You’re not going to ride on busses—” She smiled at that a little, but his face did not change. “Your allowance will be adequate and I don’t want you to hoard it.” “Oh, dear,” she murmured. “And, what's more. I can’t see you give away all Miss Ella's fortune without a protest,” he added. “You aren’t!” she stated with her first and last attempt at humor that day. 808 AN hour later their voices had grown a bit shrill from strain. She was nervous and thoroughly upset. Elinor realized, as she dressed for dinner. She had not dreamed he could lie so belligerent. He had insisted she must buy twice as many frocks as any woman could need. He spoke of her allowance and the amount staggered her. Higgins, serving their dinner, was depressed. They had been married less than a week and obviously they had had their first quarrel. They hardly spoke when he was in the room but when he was out of it they went on with their discussion. Entering softly, Higgins heard her saying, “I'm not a mule. I only—,” and Barrett’s response, “If you’re not a mule just what do you think you are?” After dinner. Barrett sat In the library, and Elinor in the drawing room, played wistful tunes. At 10, she went upstairs without saying good night. Barrett called for a whisky and soda and a little later for another whisky and soca. He mounted the stairs wearily at 11. But in his room he forgot weariness. The door was open. “Barrett—?" he heard. “Yes!” He neared .he door with a few eager strides. "I want to speak with you a moment—if you’ll come in?” (To Be Continued)

rarzan was standing some distance away when Colonel Capell arrived. He saw that officer greet his junior in command; then he saw him turn toward Olga. The ape-man wondered how the Red spy felt in this situation, especially when she must knew that Tarzan was watching' and knew her for a traitor. He saw the Colonel greet her cordially.

He could not hear their words, but all seemed on the best of terms. Tarzan turned away scowling. If any had been close by they might have heard a low growl rumble from his chest. Knowing his country was at war with the Reds. Tarzan also knew it was his duty to expose the girl's perfidity. And yet he hesitated. He did not see her before she left.

Already had he spoken farewell to Roger. Now he stood watching until the plane disappeared, a tiny speck high in the eastern sky. The Tommies were waiting orders to begin the return march. Colonel Capell. ready to go with them, sought out Tarzan. "I wish you'd come with us, Greystoke,” he said. “Lieutenant and the young woman want you to.”

“No,” replied Tarzan, “I shall go on my way. alone. Cecii and Olga Baresch were only prompted by a sense of gratitude in considering my welfare.” “Olga Baresch?” exclaimed Capell. Then he laughed. “You know her, then, as Olga, the Red spy? Is that ALL you know 9 ' “Yes,” answered Tarzan, “and that’s enough.” “You're mistaken,” said Capell.
