STORY CHAFrER TWENTY-NINE A SMALL night light was burning beside Elinor s bed, and she was sitting up, curling hair framing her oval face and touching her bare shoulders. “Barrett,” she said, as he stood beside her. “I can't stand it!” Her lips trembled on the words. He sank to the edge of her bed and took her hands in his. “I'll do anything you want me to.” she went on, “but i hope you won't want me to take any of Aunt Ella s money!” “I don't want you to, since you | feel as you do about It, but I do want, to provide for you—when the time comes. I don't know how I’d j stand it if you wouldn't let me do that.” “I ran take money from you more j easily.” she admitted. “Well!'' he murmured. His throirt had thickened a little with her confession. His eyes stung. “Suppose,” he said, “we call this matter closed?” “Let’s!** “I know’ I was harsh, child—” “Oh, no! I was obstinate, but—* “Well, It's over now.” He had to stifle the “dear" that was on the tip j of his tongue. She laid her hand on his and! again his heart was beating thickly. “We made rather a mountain out of a molehill,” he said. “I suppose we did, but I couldn't j seem to help it,” she agreed with a deeply indrawn breath and a little smile. He rose quickly, "Better be on my way,” he said. ‘“Peace to you, child.” Stooping suddenly, he kissed her forehead. He did not understand her eyes that were crying, “I love you”; but he knew he could not stifle his, “Good night, dear!” tt tt tt ALONE. Elinor touched her forehead with her hand and j then held the hand to her lips. She j had been less than a week in this house and already she was back where she had been, willing to kneel to him if he would have her. Elinor wakened with a chill start to think. “Philip!” She had not j put his name down—Philip Sexton; who sneered over coins tossed to him in public yet. took anything that was given him where no one could see his acceptance. She had in the excitement—forgotten Philip! She would tell Barrett that, she must have SIOO,OOO which she could not explain. Barrett heard this and thought wearily. “No. you eould hardly explain—after the role you assumed last night!” He was convinced that Elinor was not going to cheat herself In doling out the Sexton millions. For Elinor, the weeks that followed passed swiftly. She sat, for hours each day with her father. Bentwell Stafford seemed to be rerovering but his strength came slowly. Elinor went to sep Marcia, and the tiny son who had at last arrived. She shared Bessie's and .Tim’s tremulous excitement over their new house on Long Island. With Bessie puffing happily on long shopping jaunts, Elinor con- i sidcred chintzes, rugs, schools for | the boys and the tones of radios. I

ELINOR had had a hard battle with her aunt and uncle before persuading them to say they would take a share of the fortune. Before it was settled she admitted a truth she had never voiced even to her aunt who was so close to her. “Aunt Bessie." she said on a day in mid-January when she was almost worn out by her futile argument with proud obstinacy, “I have never said this before. I wouldn’t say it now. but I must. I know. Aunt Bessie, that you and Uncle Jim were remembered substantially in Aunt Ella's will a year ago. “My mother found out about it, and she so cleverly planted suggestions about your inability to handle money that she persuaded Aunt Ella to change her plans. The sum I want you and Uncle Jim and the boys to have is yours. It's exactly what was left you until my mother robbed you of it. “Are you going to burden me all my life with the consciousness of having stolen your money? Barrett and I both know this money is yours and that more might have been yours if you had been willing to do what my mother did. There has been plenty of gossip about mother that you could have told Aunt Ella—” “I never did tell Aunt Ella anything about your mother,” Bessie admitted. "Once I thought of it— I never did, though—and I was so glad even right after Aunt Ella's, death that I didn't.”. Jim Thrope heard all this and considered it. Barrett put in his voice, and at last they were persuaded. After that came the ecstatic hunt for a house with “nice grounds and space around it.” “There’s not a dark room in it!” Bessie would pant, shopping with Elinor. And Elinor would press her aunt’s arm closer to her side, saying, "Barrett thinks it is a marvelous bargain!” u tt i* ■ YET the girl was happy; extremely and patiently happy. She talked of their games of chess, of plays she saw with Barrett, of playing the piano for him. She hurried home toward the close of each afternoon in order to be in for tea. There was anew brightness in her eyes, anew sweetness in her face. She was gentler than ever and she had always been gentle. “But,” Bessie thought, “something about it is—not quite right.” Lida made innumerable new purchases—matching snakeskin purse and shoes, a vibrating machine which she used once, frocks that had seemed attractive and that she discarded after one wearing, Italian pottery, colored glass. She was feverish in her search for diversion— and no diversion helped her to forget that Vance Carter had been locked up as insane in order to escape a less comfortable place of imprisonment. Vance wrote Lida now and again, his letters smuggled out of the asylum to a post box by a bribed guard. The letters were bitter arraignment of her, of his folly in having believed in her. After the “accident.” she had had to deny even the slightest interest in Vance Carter. She had admitted publicly that, he had “annoyed” her for some time. She implied that her nature was a homekeeping one. Seeing her mother’s name in newspaper headlines made Elinor shrink. It was all so sordid. She thought of Vance Carter with hot pity. She knew what her mother had done to add weakness to weakness. “Don't think of it,” Barrett often urged. He was learning by her changing expressions to know the emotions they mirrored. He was learning, too, that he could not bear to have her anything but happy. He supposed as the weeks passed that he was being a fool again, but he could not help it. He tried to steel himself against her, to ignore her natural appeal and he failed. (To Be Continued)

"The girl, whom you believe a spy in the Reds’ cause.” said Colonel Capell to Tarzan, "is really the Hon. Patricia Canby, one of the most valuable members of the British Intelligence Sendee attached to East African forces. Her father and I served in India together. I've known her ever since she was born.”

Tarzan’s face betrayed his amazement as the Colonel continued: “Why, here’s a packet of papers she took from a Red officer. Been guarding it all through her troubles. ~ . Look. I’ve not examined it yet, but as you see, here's a military sketch map. reports, and a diary belonging to one Ivan Karzanoff.” At that Tarzan started. ‘May I see it?” he said.

“Karzanoff was the Red officer who murdered Lady Greystoke.” Quickly the ape-man thumbed the pages, looking for a certain date, the day the horror had been committed—and when he found it he read rapidly. Suddenly a gasp of incredulity burst from his lips. Capell looked at him questioningly. “God!” exclaimed Tarzan. “Can this be true? Listen!”

Then, aloud, he read an excerpt from the closely written page. "Today I played a little joke on the English. When Lord Greystroke—known as Tarzan of the Apes—comes home, he’ll find ht wife’s dead body. But he’ll only THINK it is his wife. We substituted another body for hers. Put Lady G ’s rings on it, then partly burned it ”
