"I suppose pa’ is lying awake with a shotgun thinking he’s harboring a suspicious character. - ' The next morning she found she had walked miles in a direction away from Lake City. She hired the farmer to drive her home. When she reached there Mrs. Brooks appeared ”Oh, Mrs Rader!” she said. “I couldn't help worrying about you. Your telephone was ringing most of the night.’’ It rang again shortly. Eve answered and heard Theron Reece's voice. "You little fool!” he said. 'Do you think I'd let any harm come to you? Can't you see that I'm mad about you? Why can’t we be friends? Your husband isn't above a little flirtation when the occasion offers. Why not give him a taste of his own medicine?” Abruptly Eve hung up the receiver. B<ie was terrified. Terrified at the threat of danger in Reece's persistent attentions and terrified at his insinuations about Dick.

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE ALL day Sunday Eve stayed in the apartment. She felt tired and spent after the nerve-wracking experiences of the night before. There was no doubt in her mind that Mona Allen was responsible for what had happened—Mona, whose Invitation to Eve to take dinner with her had seemed so friendly! At first, angrily, Eve tried to think how she could make the other girl pay for her tricks. It was time for Mona to learn that two could play the same game, Eve told herself. Her slippers had been ruined by the rough roads and her dress was torn. Gradually, however. Eve came to consider the matter more calmly. By Monday morning she had decided that it would be best to ignore the whole affair. “I'm not going to be put on the defensive for an attack she made on me.” Eve told Arlene, after relating all that had happened Saturday night. But it was Mona herself who brought up the subject. She entered the office, removed her hat and a moment later was beside Eve's desk. "Whatever became of you Saturday night?” she demanded. “I was so worried! The boy friend and I met a man he knew who invited us to have a drink. We were in a booth at the opposite end of the room and when we came back Reece told us you had gone. In a way I don't blame you. That place is an awful frost. I'd never had gone there if I'd known what it was like!” “I went home.” Eve told her. and that was the last word she said on the subject. m m n BUT such resolutions were easier made than kept. In the days that followed. Eve was constantly facing petty annoyances—small matters that became increasingly irritating because apparently tnere was no explanation for them. Objects would be missing from Eve's desk—her fountain pen, the vanity case she kept in a desk drawer, leaves

SNAIL RAISING is an important industry on the European continent. The demand for these so-called delicacies is so great that the supply is not able to keep pace, and in some sections closed seaeons have been proclaimed, so the snail population may not become too scarce.

from her calendar pad on which she had Jotted memoranda, or bits pf copy not yet seen by Mr. Barnes. "What would you do?” one day Eve asked Arlene. "I'd go to Barnes about it," Arlene advaised. “Oh. I couldn't! He wouldn't 'ike it and he'd only think me catty.” “I don t see why! You'd merely be protecting yourself—asserting your rights. Do you think for one minute that a man would let another man get away with what Mona's doing?” As it happened. Eve did not find it necessary to complain to Barnes about Mona. Two days later Arlene returned unexpectedly to the office for something she had forgotten when leaving to go to lunch and found Mona going through the drawers of her desk. The situation was too much even for one of Mona's impudence to carry off with nonchalance. “I—l was just—” she began with a nervous laugh. “Yes, I see,” Arlene said. “You were just going through my desk, weren’t you? Now listen, I understand your racket and the next time anything is mislaid in this office I’m going straight to Earle Barnes and tell him who's responsible.” “I was only looking for—some copy paper,’ Mona tried to defend herself. “What's wrong with that stack of copy paper over there in its usual place?” “Oh! There is some, isn’t there? I didn't see any this morning. Charles must have brought down a new supply.” “There was plenty there this morning. He brought it down yesterday.” HUH WITH this Arlene tumbled things back into the desk drawers and locked them. Mona forced an amused smile, retreated to her desk and began to type with the appearance of great industry. Arlene hastened out to join Eve at a belated luncheon. Eve shared her elation over the proof of Mona’3 treachery, “You’ll not be annoyed by her again!" Arlene promised. Eve wished she could be as certain. Let's celebrate tonight,” proposed Arlene. “We haven’t eaten at that new Italian restaurant on Twelfth street yet. We could see the early show at the Palace afterwards.” "I’d love to,” agreed Eve. “I haven’t been to a movie since Dick left. It’s no fun to go alone. But what about Sam? I thought he monopolized all your time these days.” “He's giving a talk before the City Club tonight," said Arlene with evident pride. “Sam’s smart, Eve. He could go a long way if he really wanted to.” “Os course he’s smart. And of course he could go a long way. Can't you make him want to, Arlene?” “Sometimes I think I could. Oh, I don’t know what I want, Eve! I I liked George Bliss, you know. A lot, I guess. But I had sense enough to see that he didn’t care. I've seen too many girls waste years on a man who wasn’t interested. Sam’s been grand to me. He thinks of things to do for me almost before I’ve wished for them. “It means everything,” admitted Eve. "Dick's like that, too.” n a NOVEMBER came. Sometimes Eve ate dinner downtown, dreading to go home to the lonely apartment. Sometimes she stopped at the delicatessen shop for sandwiches and cookies to carry home with her. These, with a cup of hot chocolate, would serve for a meal. After dinner she would curl up in Dick's favorite chair and read—or try to read. Dick’s work kept him out in all kinds of weather. Eve worried for fear he might become ill and no one would let her know. Suppose he would not want her to know! After all, Dick had seemed willing enough to go away and leave | her. (To Be Continued)

TARZAN THE APE MAN

Fearlessly, Tarzan dropped from the tree. With his hunting knife he quickly dispatched the first leopard and drove the other away. He found Jean’s sleeve where it had floated to the ground. At last he had a use for it. He wiped off his bloody knife.

Then he swung into the tree again and sat on the branch beside the girl. She was more afraid of him than ever now that she had seen him kill the leopard. Tarzan looked off through the trees as though the appearance of the leopards called to his mind that night was upon them.

The sun was setting. Tarzan looked toward the west and then in another direction. The girl followed his glance and a look of terror came to her face. She dared not think of the night! She stared at him as he looked back at her. Then with his eyes still upon her, he rose slowly.
