Instead of beme sympathetic Dick Was plainly irritated bv the affair. Nor was he properly sympathetic next morning when Eve, feeling tk retched, refused to remain at home In bed. "Don’t you see,” she urged, "how e*per*ially necessary it is for me to be at mv de-k today in rase Mr Bixbv find* out tnat I had to call the night watchman to let me into the office last night?” Dick did not answer. He left the apartment, shuting the door behind him with unnecessary emphasis. Arrived at the office. Eve was still Unable to account for the fact that j she had found the copy for the Times’ advertisement underneath the blotter on her desk the night before. "I have it!” exclaimed Arlene | after puzzling over the mystery, j "Mona Allen!” "But, why should she do a thing like that?" asked Eve. "Because you and I had time off to go to Marya s wedding and she had to stay here and work.” “Oh. Id hate to think any one could be like that!’’ Eve protested. "Have it your own way then." declared Arlene, "but I’ve got that girls number!” “I could annihilate the person who caused all that trouble last night.” said Eve. Dick was furious about it and I was almost scared to death for fear we wouldn’t get to the Times office in time. a a a ARLENE returned to her type- . writer when Mona Allen entered and there was no sound except the rapid clicking of !*eys until Mona left on an errand to some other department. Then Arlene looked at Eve. "Do you suppose.** she asked, “that any one with Mona Allen's disposition would be likely to go to* for fashion art? I was wondering what sort of person we will draw in Maryas place. I hope it isn't another prize package like Mona. Who'd ever expect that fluffy, purring kitten of having such claws?” Eve was reading letters of application from artists who wished to be considered for the place. "I didn't dream there were so many •foot-loose and fancy-free,” she commented. She selected a dozen letters and telephoned for those artists to come for an interview with Mr. Barnes. That afternoon they began arriving, laden with samples of their work It took Barnes but a short time to decide each was unsatisfactory. Eve rounded up another half dozen the next day. but rone suited Barnes. By Thursday his temper was crisp and Eve's nerves were on edge. Twice he snapped at her in answer to questions. "Why do I suffer such indignities?" she asked herself as she returned to her desk with lowered eyes. It isn't necessary for me to stay here and let Barnes work off his sarcasm on me.” The advertising manager's irritation had transferred itself to Eve and that night, because she was tired, she gave vent to her discontent before 'Dick. As she took off her French heeled slippers to put on a pair of mules, she flung one slipper across the room. It was unintentional. but the slipper knocked over a delicate amethyst glass perfume bottle, spilling its contents on the

rug. Afterward whenever Eve inhaled that fragrance the scene came back to her. Dick made no comment. He wiped up the perfume and picked up the broken bits of glass as Eve burst into hysterical tears. Then he asked. What s the matter with you. Eve?" ; "I'm just tired,” she sobbed. "Tired to death!” "Um-m! I was afraid you'd get this way. Well—we'll see that this doesn't happen again.” What did he mean, Eve asked herself wildly. She was not going *o give up her career just because Earl Barnes had worked himself into a frenzy over a disruption of the office routine. a a a epHE next morning Eve left for ' * work with a heavy heart. The jostling of other passengers on the trolley irritated her and she used' both elbows to keep her from being crowded too closely. At the Fifty- , fifth street intersection a score or ■ more left the car and Eve sank with relief into a vacant seat ; Immediately she raised the window to let in the spring morning air and just as quickly someone behind asked her to close it because of the draft. Eve shot the person a meaning look, then closed the window. Dick had complained that she was "trying to do the work of two women.” What if hp realized that her ambition led her to picture herself doing the work of a man, she thought. More and more, as the weeks i passed. Eve had gained new under- j standing of the importance and re-! spossibility of Barnes’ position. There were times, too, w hen Eve : suspected that Barnes kept in mind the possibility that she might succeed him. Although his temper often made him disagreeable she had to credit Barnes with being fair on the whole. Arlene mentioned the possibility more than once and seemed genuinely glad for Eve. That the same thought must have i occurred to Mona and that Mona would stop at nothing to prevent Eve's promotion Eve was equally sure. * * * A DAY came, however, when Eve approached her work with lack of enthusiasm. Her special column, after the first, few weeks, had become more a burden than a pleasure. This was partly because the novelty had worn off and partly because her increased duties and responsibilities left her less time. -I haven't a single idea this morning!” she admitted to herself, and then found her entire outlook changed by a note on her desk. Barnes had taken an early morning train and would be absent for two days, leaving Eve responsible for the advertising department during that time. "He didn't take me into his confidence,” Arlene said. "So I don't know where his highness has gone. Eves spirits lifted and she went about her duties with new interest. After the early morning routine was dispatched she went to look at some rugs that had just come in. The buyer was busy when she appeared and referred her to one of the salesmen. il George Bliss can tell you all about them,” he assured her. "He knows more about rugs than any one else in Lake City. He's read everything that's been written about them. I think he even dreams about rugs when he’s asleep!” Bliss smiled. "Yes, I'm interested in rugs," he admitted. "Why not? There's a lot to know about them, and it's a fascinating subject. Forty years ago my father was rug buyer for Bixby's. and every year he went abroad and selected a year's supply. "That was before I was born, but some of the most thrilling hours I've ever spent w’ere when he told me about his trips to the near east and China. To me those stories rivaled the Arabian Nights.’ (To Be Continued)

The apes swung away through the trees, paying no attention to the people on the ground. Only the one remaining with Tarzan—for it was he—looked quizzically from the ape-man to the strange beings below. The ape chattered, volubly, as if asking some explanation.

Tarzan stood, quietly looking down on the safari, Jean was first to spy him. “Look!" she cried, recovering from her amazement. “White, too!" exclaimed her father as he saw the man in the tree. After steadily regarding them a moment, Tarzan suddenly uttered a blood-curdling cry.

It was the cry the safari had been hearing across the river. Coming from human lips, it fairly made Jean's flesh creep! “Father! That noise!" she cried, recognizing the weird call that had so mystified and unnerved them all. The wild cry trailed echoing away.

The whole party stood still, looking up at the tree-man. Uncomfortable, Parker after a few moments shouted up: “Hello, there! Come down! Tarzan did not move. Parker said: “Try to make hifn understand, Riano.” Riano then spoke a few sentences in Swahili.
