BFC.IN HF.Hr TODAT EVF BAYLRBB, preltv Ml*tnt to EARLE BARNES. *<Jrertlsin* manager ot BilbT s department atore. marries DICK rtADER. a conatrurtlon auperlntenden" temporarily working In Lake City Dick wants Eve to give up working but ahe refuses. ARLFNT SMITH, lenographer In the advertising office, fancies herself In love With GEORC.E BLISS but he 1* vamped fcv MONA ALLEN, trouble-making copy Writer Eve receive* a letter from IRENE PRENTISS former schoolmate, who Is playing he stock market Eve decide* to do the same thing. Without Dick s knowledge she borrows money from her mother and with It buys stock. Eve goes to a party given by FRED CARTER buyer at Bixby s. There she aees THERON REECE whom she met in Nw York Reece takes her home when Dick fail* to come for her Eve dislike* him Mon* slyly plo's with Reece, taking Eve to lunch at a restaurant where he loin* them Eve sees Dick th*re. lunching with a group of men. She hears that the stock she bought has dropped and hurries to the bank She la told that the atock did drop but has gone up again. NOW CiO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTR TWENTY <Con> ARLENE u interested in Eve's account of the luncheon. “I thought Mona was playing up to Reece at Freda's party last night,” Arlene commented. "I felt sorry for Mr. Bliss He's so nice. And to think he fell for Mona, only to be hurt by her! I suppose he's so Infatuated, though, that he can't *ee her tactics.” •'Well have to watch out for that girl ” declared Eve. “She's the worst traffic jam this office has even been mixed up With!" added Arlene. But Eve scarcely heard her. She wondered if Dick had seen her with Mona and Reece at the restaurant. What would he think after what had occurred the night before? Perhaps it would be better for her not to mention the luncheon. However, Eve was worried. CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE EVE ignored Mona Allen for the rest of that day. She was so annoyed by the other girl's trickery that she felt she could not trust herself to speak to Mona. Mona entered Barnes’ office the middle of the afternoon and did not reappear for almost an hour. Arlene, glancing up from her type-< writer during Mona's absence, said, *T wonder what Lorelei’s game is?” Eve said, “Don’t be foolish, Arlene.” Arlene answered flippantly. “Don’t be so gullible, Eve! That girl is no saint*” Marya, from her comer by the window, merely looked up at them and smiled. When Mona returned to her desk nhe did not glance at either of the other girls. Her features were without expression as she folded a few sheets of fresh copy paper, picked up a pencil and left the office. “She's probably gone to see George Bliss on the pretense of asking what's new in the rug department.” commented Arlene. a a a EVE was tempted to tell Dick about the luncheon with Theron Reece and explain how it had come about, but she decided that to do so would be to attach Importance to the incident. It did not occur to her to discuss her venture on the stock market with Dick. Hence she encouiaged him to talk about his work. "I'll take you out to see the theater Sunday morning,” he told her. “It's going to be ready for the public in two weeks. There will be quite a staff working Sunday because of the time limit for the opening.” a a m ON Sunday morning, as he had promised, Dick tucked Eve into the roadster and drove the short distance to the new building. The white brick and terracotta structure loomed up seventeen stories high. They passed through the auditorium where the seats were being installed. The silver screen was ftlready in place. Dick toook Eve up in the dressing room elevator and she saw modern conveniences In almost luxurious form for the comfort of the actors and actresses. “Now I'll show you the ‘green room’, ” Dick told her as they stepped into the elevator again

Its irregular nesting habits, coupled with the fact that only one egg is laid, and that the young requires three years to grow up. makes the future of this bird very uncertain. NEXT—Do we know much about the moon's surface?

They* descended to a room opposite the wings, beautifully decorated in white and gold. In the center was a billiard table, and great, soft, easy chairs were grouped about. “No matter what its color scheme may be this room Is called the green room,” Dick explained. “It Is the actors' sitting room. Later on you will see It in use.” An organ had been Installed and was being tested. Snatches of melodies filled the air. Dick glanced about and saw no one observing them. He gathered Eve close in the shadow of the wings, for a brief instant. ; “The first kiss on the new stage,” he murmured. a a a EVE was always to remember that Sunday. It gave her her first insight into the romance of building Dick's employers, she knew, specialized in the construction of threaters, but it was not until that morning that she appreciated the extreme skill required for this branch of work. The day meant more than that to Eve. The uneasy feeling she had know’n for the past week seemed to slip away from her. Dick was all kindness and conslfleration and Eve was ashamed of the fact that she had doubted him, even for a moment. She curled up in a lounge chair that afternoon with anew book. She made it a point to bring home a book from the circulating library each week-end. After she finished reading the book Eve always entered its title and the name of its author in a tiny notebook she carried in her purse. She had begun this system when she was in high school and had followed it faithfully ever since. a a a TkJ'ONDAY morning Eve returned to her work as though inspired. She thought of the actresses soon to come to Lake City for the opening of the theater and decided to make an especial bid for their patronage in the store advertising she wrote. Barnes commended her for her foresight. That noon Eve accompanied Marya to a Scottish tearoom where a twinkling-eyed Highland lassie told their fortunes by reading the leaves in their teacups. Eve attached no significance to the prophecies made for her, but Marya was apparently overjoyed because the seer ess predicted she would soon be married. a a a WHEN the home edition of the evening newspaper was delivered to the office Eve turned to the financial pages. Strange, she thought, how light-hearted she had been but an hour before and now her world was plunged into gloom.’ Pure Soap, Inc., had gone down a point. It was hard for her to concentrate on her work for the next hour. As soon as the stock edition was due she sent Charles down to the corner to purchase a copy for her. Her hopes returned as she noted that Pure Soap, Inc., had regained its loss and closed at the same figure it had been maintaining for a week. The next day, however, there was much trading in Pure Soap, Inc., and it gained three points. Eve’s hopes soared. She walked about the office as though entranced. “Why the effervescence?” asked Arlene. ! Eve merely smiled and did not ■ answer. Dick was glad to find her so I cheerful that evening. | The next day Pure Soap, Inc., gained two points. It seemed to Eve that this was too good to be I true. Thursday the stock gained three Tnore after a day of brisk trading. It fluctuated a bit then and closed Friday exactly 10 points above the price at which Eve had made her I initial investment.

TARZAN THE APE MAN

The survivor of the two natives attempting to swim ashore, suddenly turned back. A hippo was coming toward him. Seeing it, the black boy, confused, darted back into the brush to escape the water beast. And as he did so he tripped and fell to the marshy ground.

At once a lurking crocodile slid from its hiding place. There came a scream from the native, heard by the people on the nearing raft. They heard the cry suddenly muffled, but could see nothing. “What was that?” asked Jean. No one answered.

They were too intent on keeping ahead of the many hippos coming behind the raft. With a last great effort Riano's men beached the raft and all scrambled to get off. ... A dozen yards away in the marsh, a crocodile dragged the hapless youth its jaws had crushed.

—By Edgar Rice Burroughs

As they landed safely on shore, Jean exclaimed: “Thank heaven, we’ve made it.” Holt, turning round, said: “They're still coming.” The others saw the hippos advancing toward them. “Don’t shoot, they'll stampede,” cried Holt. Tensely the party waited, uncertain what to do. _
