The girls had worked together for several years Marya was blessed with a tranquil disposition that often served as oil on the troubled waters of office trials. For a while Marya had been watching sales and making purchases for her hope chest, for it was a tradition among Maryas people that a bride should go to her bridegroom with a complete equipment of linens, cooking utensils and silver. Marya and Ray had spent many Sundays driving about the city, stopping now and then to look at houses in new allotments. Marya always had maintained that she wanted a little gray bungalow when she married, but a red brick house completely captured her fancy. There was a beamed ceiling in the story-and-a-half living room The dining room was elevated a trifle with a wrought iron bannister beside its three steps Colorful floral wall paper adorned the breakfast room The recreation room in the basement appealed to Ray. There was a nursery upstairs with cunning Mother Goose figures on the wall and light pink woodwork and beside it was another well-lighted room which would serve as Marya s studio. It really seemed to be an ideal home. For Ray s parents it was the culmination of years of thrift to know that their son could purchase such a house. Ever since he had received his first earnings Ray’s father and mother had coached him to prepare for a future home of his own. Hence, though only in the middle twenties. Ray and Marya were to start married life with no debts except the monthly payments arranged to complete- the purchase of their home. Marya and Ray had asked Eve and Dick to drive out to see the house before the final papers were signed. Dick declared it to be well built and. according to the prevailing market, a good buy. Eve thought the house was perfect and she came back to the apartment with a wistful longing for such a home of her own. “Never mind, sweetheart!" Dick told her. "You’ll probably get everything you want some day but you can’t expect it all at once.” “Yes. and now I have my career,” Eve answered, instantly optimistic. “Besides they say everything comes to him who waits.” “That’s right,” Dick agreed “ —if he keeps busy while he’s waiting!” And so Eve helped Marya shop during their noon hours. Arlene never accompanied them on these shopping trips. “Honestly,” Arlene confided to Eve. “I can’t work up much excitement over household doowhackets.” The week before Easter Marya met Ray daily for luncheon. Eve and Arlene attended Lenten services each noon. On Good Friday they met Mr. Bixby coming from the church and Eve’s heart warmed toward the white-haired old man as he bowed to them with dignity. “The old lamb!" said Arlene "To think I usually tremble in my boots when he enters the office!” Saturday Marya spent her last day at the store. She had worked industriously to prepare advance drawings so that the advertising office could run smoothly for a week, in case they found no one to take her place immediately.

HE DIED IN PRISON, AND WORE THE MASK TO HIS GRAVE. TO THIS DAY HIS IDENTITY IS A SECRET/ THAN A SINGLE "THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK" first started serving time on the Isle Samte Marguerite, in the Mediterranean, 1661. For twentynine years he remained there, and was then removed to the Bastille, in Pans. Only once did he try to reveal himself to the outside world. He scratched a message on a plate and threw it out the window, but it was picked up by a man who could not read, who turned it over to a guard. NEXT: What is the world's largest Spanish speaking city?

Marya s eyes were misty when she finally cleared her desk and packed her personal belongings. Several girls from other departments came in to bid her good-bv and Barnes called hpr into his private office for a brief session. Then it was closing time and Marya made a last survey of the familiar room. “Oh. Eve!” she cried. "I’m going to miss you dreadfully! What shall Ido without this office?” Eve put firm arms about Marya and led her to the locker room. • v a AFTER lunch Sunday, Eve and Dick joined the Easter parade on the avenue The sun shone brightly and here and there before a pretentious home yellow and lavender crocuses raised their heads from the green grass. They saw Mona Allen wearing a newblack coat lavishly trimmed w r ith black fox. Framing her face was' the hat with the halo of white violets w’hich Eve had wanted to buy Eve and Dick ate a late dinner | and then strolled through the park to the art museum where they enjoyed the organ recital. Marya’s wedding took place next day. Eve felt that she would never forget the lovely picture Marya made as she came down the aisle of the church on the arm of her white-haired father. Eve brushed her eyes with a wisp of lace handkerchief while Arlene let the tears roll frankly down her cheeks. Marya wore a severely simple w’hite satin frock with long tight j sleeves and a long train. Her veil j was arranged cap fashion above her broad white forehead. She carried a sheaf of ealla lilies. After the ceremony there was a reception. Later that evening Marya changed into a dove gray traveling costume trimmed with fluffy gray fox And before any one was aware of it she and Ray had slipped away from the others and fled in a taxi to the Union Station where they boarded a train for New York. Marya s wedding was the sort Eve had once planned for herself. She knew she would always remember that wedding as one of the loveliest she had attended. She knew, too, that she would miss Marya from the office but that their friendship was the sort that would last. Later as Eve and Dick went lip the steps of Mrs. Brooks’ house they heard their telephone ringing. "Wonder if something is wrong on the job.” Dick said as he fitted the key into the lock. Eve was amazed to hear that the call was for her. “This is the Times advertising department," came the voice over ihe wire. “We are calling about the Bixby advertisement for tomorrow. Mr. Barnes said he left the copy with you this afternoon. We’ve been trying to get you all evening. Our deadline is 10:15, and it’s nearly that now. What shall we do?” Eve’s knees seemed to go limp. “How dreadful!” she exclaimed. “I left the copy in an envelope on my desk adressed to the Times. Are you sure it wasn’t there?” “The boy said he and Barnes looked all over for it and then decided you must have taken it with you.” the voice answered. “Heavens! I’ll have to try to get into the office and then call you back from there!” Eve answered. “Dick. Dick!” she cried. “We’ve got to go to the store right away to see if I can find the copy for tomorrow's Times. Oh. this is terrible! There’s a special sale scheduled and if that ad isn’t in the morning paper I'll lose my job! We've got to hurry—the deadline is at 10:15 and there isn't a minute to spare!” Dick got out the car and they drove without a word until he made an abrupt stop at the side entrance to Bixby's. To Eve it seemed forever before the night watchman arrived in answer to her frantic summons. (To Be Continued)

Riano called out several sentences in Swahili but the savages continued grinning stupidly. “Not understand, Bwana," explained Riano. Starting after them, Parker said: “I'll make 'em understand.” the pin heads continued to retreat. But now most of the safari boys had recovered from their fear.

They ran forward to join Parker and Jean. When they were quite close to the pin head savages. the pin heads suddenly began listening and sniffing. There came the sound of monkeys howling and chattering, seemingly approaching rapidly through the treetops.

“What’s that?” cried Jean, sharply, startled by rhe noise. “A'fres,” replied her father. A great herd of apes appeared, leaping through the treetops. And in their midst, swinging from branch to branch with the most agile of them, was the bronzed, muscular and supple figure of a giant man.

—By Edgar Rice Burroughs

The man's face was handsome, his figure like a young Greek god s. His shock of black hair blew in the breeze, as swinging high to a branch, he caught it lightly, like a trapeze artist. Poising a moment, he looked down while all but one of the apes went on.
