CHAPTER FORTY-THREE ♦Continued) Bannister laughed. “And haw he hated it!” he said. Poor Jordan! By the way. where is he?" "He'* gone." Kate Hewlett told him crisply. I told him to report to Chief Henley that we didn’t need any more policemen around here and if he sent out another one Id complain to the mayor. The man Just sort of gulped and said. Yes. j maam.’ and made for the door.” "Aunt Kate, you should have been, a policeman yourself'” "Well. I think I could make a better job of it than some of them we've got aroupd.” Juliet said, “Don’t let him tease you. Mrs. Hewlett. You're the sweetest person I've ever met—and the kindest ” Kate Hewlett shrugged off the compliment. Well.” she said, "I try to use the common sense the good Lord gave me So that was your sister, was it, Juliet? Pretty little thing Not as pretty as you are though. Is she older?" "Yes. Two years. Helen was married when she was 19." “I can't say I took to her hus- . band much. Oh. I could see how he'd want you to come home. I don't blame him for that. But he didn't need to talk to you the way he did." * Elbert likes to have his own way.” Juliet told her. "Os course j he works hard and he's been very successful as a lawyer. But he does j take himself terribly seriously! I don't think he's ever really approved of me.” • "Well. I wouldn’t worry about that. Do you suppose hell be out j here tomorrow morning?” “I'm afraid so. But Elbert won't stay long. When any one refuses to do as he says he doesn't waste much time on them.” It was an hour later that Bannister entered the living-room and found Juliet alone. She was sitting at the piano, but turned away from the keyboard She looked up, smiling. "Well." she asked, “are you glad I’m going to stay?” "Why. yes,” he said stiffly, “if that’s what you want to do.” CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR A FEW hours earlier they had talked in more friendly fashion than ever before. Now that was changed, and Juliet France thought she knew the reason. "Perhaps," she said quickly, "I shouldn't stay. Perhaps it would be better if I didn't —” "I'm sorry," Bannister apologized. “I didn't mean what I said to sound the way it did. I didn't mean to be rude. It’s only that it migftt be easier for you if you went with your sister and brother-in-law.” "I won t do that," she told him. ‘‘l ll see this through to the finish.’' There was silence for several moments. Juliet leaned back, resting one arm on the piano. She had never looked lovelier and Bannister had never seemed less aware of it. "I don't know what Elbert told you.”" the girl said slowly, "But I do know him! I hope you don’t think I’ve done anything too foolish—” "Not at all." he assured her. But it wasn't the truth. He did think she had been foolish. He couldn't for the life of him understand how a girl like Juliet France could let herself become involved in a flirtation with Tracy King. “I'd like to tell you about it." she said, "only I don't suppose it makes any difference now.” No, of course, it didn’t make any difference. Not the slightest. Bannister said, “If I were you I wouldn't think any more about it.” Her fingers touched the piano keys. She played a few notes of the oriental love song she had sung one evening before. "Do you like 'that?" she asked. “Very much.” She played the melcdy. began singing softly when she came to the etiorus. When she glanced around again he was reading the

evening newspaper, apparently oblivious to everything else. “What's in the paper?” she asked. 'Nothing much. They've had a bad storm on the east coast. And another pair of movie stars are getting a divorce." Over the newspaper only the top of Bannister's head was visible. The girl waited for him to continue, but he did not. Suddenly she got to her feet. ■ I think I'll go to my room.” she said, and disappeared. a a a BANNISTER put down the newspaper and stared at the fire. Ke thought. ’T've made a mess of everything. I don't know any more about who killed Tracy King than I did the day I heard he’d been murdered. What did I ever get into this for?” He knew the answer, though he refused to recognize It. He had gone into it because he was interested in Juliet France. He looked across the room where she had sat. Did she expect him to listen to the songs she had sung to Tracy King? Irritably he got to his feet and walked to a window, looking out. His aunt, coming into the room, asked. "Where's Juliet?” "I think she went upstairs." Mrs. Hewlett picked up her knitting basket. Her nephew paused in the doorway. “I’m going out.” he said. "Be back in an hour or so.” But it was later than that when he returned. Head down, his coat collar turned up about his neck, Bannister strode along the dark, cold streets. He gave no thought to the direction he took, passed buildings without seeing them. He walked rapidly but the tormenting thoughts pursued him. “You’ve made a fool of yourself," they informed him. "You’ve pretended you were trying to solve a murder when all the time it was the girl you were interested in. Well, you know the truth about her at last. She's like' the rest>—vain, silly, empty-headed.. Why, you couldn't be in love with a girl like that ” ana IN love? Ah. but he was. Bannister knew it now. He knew he had been in love with her almost from the first, only he had been too blind to realize it. Because Adele Allen had hurt his pride he had believed himself broken-heart-ed He had never loved Adele really. That was clear to him, too, now. No. he wasn't in love with Adele. Her place had been taken by a slender girl with spun-gold hair and gray eyes. "And a girl.” the imps of torment reminded him. "who carried on a cheap affair tfith Tracy King.” When Bannister reached his aunt’s home the house was quiet and only a single light was burning. He fastened the door for the night and went upstairs to his room. At breakfast he and Juliet France scarcely spoke to each other. It was the same during the evening meal and again the next morning His aunt tried to question him. "David.” she said, “aren’t you feeling well?” “Why. yes. I’m all right.” “Well, you don't look it. And you barely touched your food. Why don't you stop in and see Dr. Porter on your way downtown?” “Aunt Kate, there's no reason for me to see a doctor! ‘l’m perfectly all right. I tell you." Kate Hewlett eyed him shrewdly. “Well, maybe. But if you don’t eat more thus evening I’ll know something's wrong.” (To Be Continued) Before farmers began using Bordeaux spray or dust on their potatoes. says a University of New Hampshire agriculturist, the ,osses late blight costs 75 per cent of a crop

As the lion turned toward her, La realized what had happened. The lion had been stalking her, and seeing a leopard about to seize his prey, he had leaped to battle in its defense. She had been saved, but only to fall victim immediately to a more terrible beast.

She wondered why the lion did not charge. She did not know that within that little brain her scent had aroused the memory of another day, when Tarzan had lain bound upon the sacrificial altar of Opar with Jad-bal-ja, the golden lion, standing guard above him.

A woman had come, this same woman, and Tarzan, his master, had told him not to harm her, and she had approached and cut the bonds that secured him. Jad-bal-ja remembered, too, that if he was not to harm her, then nothing must harm fc>r.

—By Edgar Kice Burroughs

But all this Laos Opar did not know, for sh® had not yet recognized Jad-bal-ja. She still meant to fight, yet there was something in the lion's attitude she could not understand. He was not charging—he was merely walking toward her!
