BCG IN HF.Rr TODAY CVE BAYLESS prttv assistant to CAP.IE BARNES *4verUlr. manager of Blxbr's department store, marries DICK RADER a construction superintendent temporarily *or;n* in Lake City. Dick wants Ere to give up working, but she refuses.

Rve Is annoyed bv the attentions of THERON REECE whom she met In New York. Reece takes her home when Dick falls to come for her HOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER NINETEEN 'Con.) To Eve’s intense relief, however, he did not become cheaply familiar. His attempts at conversation met with silence from her and she sprang from the cab as soon as it stopped before her home. Reece followed her. Whether or not this was for her protection she did not know, but he saw her safely inside the hall. Dick opened the door and nodded curtly to Reece who turned and went his way. “I waited and waited for you!" Eve said accusingly. Tm sorry I was late,” Dick said, "but I couldn’t help It. When I got to Freda’s you had just gone. But I’ve been waiting a long while since I got home" There was no use putting up a d*f 'nse. Eve thought. She was tired and an argument would lead nowhere. Let Dick think what he might about her coming home with Theron Reece! 9 CHAPTER XX AT 10 the next morning Eve answered her desk phone to find Theron Reece on the line. “How about luncheon at my hotel this noon?" he asked. “That would be impossible," Eve answered curtly. “Let’s make it the Music Box then.’’ he urged. "We can dance.” “No—a thousand times, no!" Eve answered and hung up the receiver. Arlene looked over with a grin. ‘‘For whom were those cold, cruel words?” she teased. “That man Reece.” answered Eve with contempt in her voice. “As though I would go to lunch with him!” In a few moments Mona received a telephone call which she answered in monosyllables. Later she surprised Eve by asking her to have lunch with her at a fashionable Italian restaurant. Inasmuch as this was the first overture of its kind Mona had made toward her Eve felt that she should accept. When they reached the street at noon they found the snow dazzling In the February sunshine. Within the entrance to the New Arcade stood a boy with a tray of violets. Eve stopped and bought a bunch which she pinned high on her fur collar so that they nestled close to her chin. As she breathed their fragrance a feeling of sweet contentment came over her. The feeling persisted as she and Mona entered the revolving doors of the restaurant. Mona tripped before Eve. her extreme French heels sinking into the deep pile of the carpet as she led the way up the short flight of iron steps to a little balcony. She said something to the waiter which Eve did not catch and they were seated at a table near the rail where they could see the diners below. ,The waiter removed a card marked “Reserved” and took their order. a a a EVE glanced about her and nodded to three girl acquaintances. Then she happened to catch ■w the eye of Earle Barnes who was seated at a small table with a strikinly pretty woman, fashionably dressed. Barnes nodded. “Who's the lady friend Barnes has out to lunch?” asked Mona. “That,” responded Eve, “is Mrs. Barnes. She comes to the office only on rare occasions. She really

is very sweet and always dresses beautifully.” “She ought to be able to do a lot for herself,” Mona went on. "There would be no excuse for Barnes’ wife looking like the year before last—with the salary he makes!” Eve said nothing. “How much do you suppose he gets?” Mona persisted. "I'm sure I haven’t the slightest idea,” Eve told her. “But every one knows he’s a highly valued employe of Bixby's.” “Think of all you could do on a salary like his!” Mona said dreamily Eve looked at the other girl curiously. Surely Mona did not aspire to Barnes’ job—or did she? It was difficult to tell what went on behind that baby face. Eve was surprised to see Dick enter the restaurant with three other men. They took a table on the main floor and Eve could watch them easily from her place on the balcony. She said nothing about it to Mona. After their order was given the men bent their heads over a blueprint which one of them spread on the table and they became engrossed in conversation, Suddenly Mona smiled brightly, “Oh. there you are!” came a masculine voice from behind Eve. She turned and saw Theron Reece. Anl still it took a while before Eve realized she had fallen into their trap. The telephone call for Mona after Eve had refused to go o lunfch with Reece had been from him, of course! Soon Mona and Reece were engaged in a gay conversation. Eve said very little. Now and then she glanced down at Dick but never met his eye. a a a C'URELY Mona would prefer to be alone with Reece. Why then had she plotted with him unless she enjoyed causing Eve vexation? Reece’s bantering remarks seemed to touch upon all the activities of the times. Thus it was not long before he mentioned the market. “I dropped around to the stock exchange this morning,” he was saying. “Quite a little activity!” “Was there?” Eve asked, hoping he would explain in detail. “Yes,” he answered, glad for an attentive audience. He named several stocks which had advanced and others which had shown a decline. Eve nodded, listening. She tried to imitate Dick’s poker face when Reece mentioned Pure Soap, Inc. “Pure Soap took a slide,” he said authoritatively. "That will hit a lot of fellows. Pure Soap is a popular number.” Eve noted that Dick and the men he was with were leaving. “I think I’ll leave you,” she said, slipping into her fur jacket before Reece could assist her. “I have an errand to do before going back to the office—and there is no need for you to hurry.” She managed to smile at Mona. At the desk she signaled the waiter and paid her check. Then she boarded a trolley to ride the ten blocks to the bank. The car seemed to be forever stopping for traffic lights. Finally it arrived at the square and impatiently Eve hurried out. The usual calm atmosphere pervaded the stock and bond department of the bank. Eve asked for Mr. Brown but he was out. His assistant offered to help her. "Pure Soap, Inc.—has it gone down?” she asked. “Well, it dropped two points this morning,” he answered calmly. “But it’s gone up again within the last hour.” Eve’s knees were weak, and she sank gratefully into a chair. Eve turned to her office slowly and thoughtfully. (To Be Continued)

“Yes, Bwana," answered the head-man as his boys frantically leaned on the poles. They were making good headway when they were attracted by a splashing and a shriek on the other side of the raft. They saw a man desperately making for their raft, closely followed by a great crocodile.

Parker yeliea to the boys: “Get him!’’ The terrified swimmer reached the raft and started to climb aboard. Two of his fellows rushed to help him, but before they could reach him the crocodile grabbed its victim by the leg. Uttering a piercing scream, the boy was dragged off by the scaly monster.

Witnessing the horrid affair, Jean screamed and her father turned away from the sight. *No use, Riano. The shore," he ordered. Riano urged his men on—men who were already frantic with fear. Just as they were within a few yards of the river bank another gruesome thing awaited them.
