Penns’, lvania Dutch The open shelves above would display plates aci bric-a-brac as well or better than the what-not and the cupboard below would provide useful storage Rpace " “But it's so frightfully shabby," Fte objected. "It could be painted any color you'd like, answered Dick simply. ‘ Well, it would be nice," agreed Eve "Nicer than the what-not. But vou needn t be so sniffy about that. Corner shelves are fashionable again " Dirk was unperturbed “Some of these things are graceful and pretty.’ he conceded. "Aunt Sophronia had one with spool turnings. Probablv has it slowed away in the aitir We ll see sometime when we are down east." "And do look at this. Dirk.” Eve tugged at his arm and drew him to a corner of the shop to look at a chest of drawers. “Oh, Dick, we ought to have this. You can't say it s not old." Dick surveyed the piece, but without enthusiasm. "Knobs fastened on with wood screws. Put together with wood pins. About a hundred years,” lie estimated its age. "Perhaps more. And a good job of veneering. The bracket feet and the carved acanthus leaves on the |>osts are rather unusual. And it has a serpentine lop drawer. Not bad.” "Not bad,” Eve mocked him. "Is that the most praise you can give it? Don't you think we might buy it, Dick? This and the water bench and that cute little stand over there—the one with two drawers and drop leaves.” Dick looked. "The ‘cute ltttle stand' is burled apple wood," he said. "It probably would set us back the price of two months' lent." But Eve would not let her enthusiasm be dampened. She pounced upon a pair of candlesticks in sparkling yellow glass. The stall was in the form of a fish, balancing itself gracefully on its chin. “Oh— " she exclaimed, "aren't these simply darling. Dick?" Dick grinned tolerantly. "Can't say that they are. he returned. "Never could see anything particularly darling about a dolphin—or any other fish, for that matter." He picked up one of the pair, looked at the price mark and set it down with great care. "Fifty dollars for the pair!" he ejaculated. "Well, anyway, we simply must get that little spinning-wheel for the bay window. I've always wanted a spinning-wheel," Eve coaxed. He purchased the spinning-wheel for Eve and they loaded it in the rumble seat. Eve had jotted down prices and the name of the shop. It was the fashionable thing now to have at ieast one room with antique furnishings or reproductions of antiques. "I'll just send for some of those pieces I admired a little later." she whispered to the proprietor as she left. CHAPTER FOURTEEN (CHRISTMAS fell on Tuesday J that year and Eve was overjoyed when Mr Barnes said that

she could have Monday as a holiday and thus be able to spend Christmas with her parents iOO miles away. Saturday, with the last task completed, Eve sa:d goodby to the others In the office, wished them a Merry Christmas, and left to meet Dick On the way to the train they posted their marriage announcements to Eve's friends in Lake City. Those for the home folks had been sent a week earlier. Eve felt a mixture of apprehension and relief after the announcements were mailed. But at least there was nothing to worry about for the present and she boarded the train with a light heart. Henry Bayless met them at the station Sunday morning. Eve spied her father first and gulped as her eves filled with tears. Then she hurried forward and kissed him while he struggled for composure. Partings and meetings after long separation always effected Henry Daviess. His eyes were blurry and he swallowed hard. Then he welcomed Dick with a hearty handshake and felt a glow of friendship in that firm clasp. Hank trusted few men until they proved themselves but his instinct told him Dick Rader was all right. It had snowed heavily overnight and Hank drove carefully. He was proud of his new car and boasted to Dirk of the number of years he had driven the old one. The bayless home was in an old section of the city on a tree-lined street. Nice here in the summer." said Hank as he drove into the yard, j Dick saw a modest house of the seven-room variety with side porch and a low attic over the kitchen. Eve’s mother, rosy and smiling, beamed a welcome from the doorway. „ mam I'ylCK felt the spirit of Christmas for which he had long been home-sick He accompanied his father-in-law to the woodshed and helped him nail together a stand for the Christmas tree. Later he helped i Eve trim the tree. He put extra leaves in the dining room table to accommodate the guests and when Eve’s sister Esther arrived with her husband and child the baby held out her arms to Dick and seemed to prefer him to any one else. Later, to the child's intense delight, Dick mace a snow i man. Eve's grandmother, accompanied oy the son with whom she lived, came for dinner. Grandmother Bayless, little spry and yet always complaining, enjoyed the day enormously. After dinner they all gathered in the old parlor and Esther played the piano while the others sang Christmas carols. Then the gifts were distributed. Dick, who had been alone at Christmas for the last ten years, was amazed at the unselfish generosity displayed. Grandmother Bayless, in particular. amused him. She brought Eve a handsome quilt of intricate "log cabin " design which she had made herself and then grumbled i when she saw the exquisitely colored rag rugs which Eve's mother i had given to Dirk. "H-m:" Grandmother declared. "Now I know why Kate was so everlastingly busy dyeing and sewing all those rags that she couldn't even take time to visit with a person!" - . . DICK surprised Eve with his gift —a beautifully designed dinner ring set with diamonds. "We were engaged and married all in one breath." Eve explained to her mother, "and I asked to have only the wedding ring." Tliat evening the whole family bundled into heavy wraps and rode out to ' Cousin Myrtle's" in Beachwood. There, in a modern suburb. Cousin Myrtle and her family lived in a house of Normandy type. (To Be Continued!

TARZAN THE APE MAN

As the two hippos thrashed through the water, bent on attacking the safari, Jean's father pushed her protectively toward Riano. The black man grabbed the girl and put her behind him as Holt and Parker fired. Cries of pain came from the hippos.

Evidently they had been hit. for the water about them churned furiously. Curiosity impelled Jean to come forward. “Gently. Jean.” admonished her father. Cautiously they started for a better view. “The river’s alive with tlem!" exclaimed Parker.

Turning to Holt, he said. “Rafts?" Holt nodded, calling: “Riano!” “Yes, Bwana,” answered the head man. “Cut rafts—two.” ordered Holt. “Yes. Bwana,” replied Riano. and in Swahili he ordered the safari to cut small trees for making rafts.

Riano went w,.h ms Sv,ahiii. explaining they were to cut the rafts and cross the river. The safari murmured and protested. Riano shouted at them and laid his whip on some. Still murmuring protests, their axes started on the trees.
