but as women citizens, necessary in or

cal parties, altho the organization gives
them the right to act with other women

The program of the League provides

Children Find Jewelry
While at Play; Owner
Known Advertiser Ad

Little Miss Lima Pickens and Billy
Dale discovered two pieces of lost
Jewelry of great value while playing on
the ditch banks near their homes on
North Carrolton street Saturday. The
articles found We're DORM and brace
let alleged TO have been stolen from the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. W. X. Gwln
several months ago and belonging to
their daughter, Mrs. Robert Townes,
who was visiting in the home at the
time.
The young pair carried their find to
Mrs. W. / Pickens, who recalled an ad-
vertisement appearing in The Adver-
tiser some weeks ago relative to the lost
jewelry and telephoned Mrs. Gwin about
the valuables. Identification was quick
ly made and the two pieces of jewelry
will be sent to a Memphis jeweer for
cleaning and repairs. Search was made
for a pearl necklace also that was in
cluded in the loss but no trace of this
article could be found, altho many aided
in looking over the ditch banks for it.
The jewelry taken by the party was
p esumed to have been thrown in the
ditch shortly after the theft and had
remained there for quite bit as re-
cent rains had covered the articles with
CRIME and dirt of the drainage ditch
until discovered by the children at play.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

TT is amazing what a 500 can do
4 for boys self confidence. For
the next few weeks Howell faced
the world with head up. Unafraid!
Serenely he paid his landlady for
the room over the garage.
Are you intending to keep it,
Mr.. Shef1eld?"
For the time being, yes"
He knew she was consumed with
curiosity, but he offered no ex-
PLANTATION.
He thought her manner was more
respectful, less patronizing than it
had been since his return.
He wasted some time wondering
what Sally was thinking. But when
they met she passed by with her
head in the air like a naughty little
queen, favoring him with a nod
just one degree colder than his. He
told himself he didn't give darn
and kicked at the sidewalk viciously.
Sorry for him, was she? Afraid
he couldn't make the grade? Well,
he'd show her. Now that Mrs.
Granville Matthews was backing
him, he'd show the world. Accept
ing help from a woman with I'M
limited means at her command was
very different from letting a little
newspaper reporter pay for his
room.
That was indeed disgrace which
only time could erase. 1t was one
experience which he was quite sure
would not be included in his Con
fessions." So far the movie maya
zines had no reason for being inter-
ested in any item concerning the
private life of Howell Sheffield, but
he had a ''hunch" than sooner or
later his name was to appear on the
front page of the Los Angeles
papers.
And in this, as in many other
Of his lunches" he was correct.
The hundred dollars "Lambie"
had given him seemed to bring him
luck. Prosperity smiled upon him
those early summer months. His
calls from Central Casting became
more frequent and his checks in
creased from $3.50 day to $3.50
There was only one fly in that
ointment. One increasingly dis
turbing fly! Not once had he been
used as anything but a policeman
He was by now known as ''the cop"
And when he went up to Central
Casting to argue about it they were
smiling unsympathetic.
He was getting more money,
wasn't he? And a lot more calls
than he would have had otherwise.
Eyes, but I don't want to be moth
ing but cop"
You don't know how lucky you
are. Better take anything you can
get"

Quickly Tarzan made the rope fast, and
dropped to the earth beside the Infatuated lion.
The panther tore and rent Numa on one side
while the ape-nan struck home repeatedly upon
the other. Before the nightly claWing OF the

Two hours later he re-entered the
room he had refused to let Sally

money the other woman had given
him. 1t was a 500 bill.

On one occasion as they were dining upon the
carcass of boar that Sheeta had killed, Mona,
the lion, grim and terrible, broke through the
tangled grasses close beside them. With an
angry, warning note, he sprang forward to
chase them from their feast. Sheeta bounded
into a nearby thicket, while Tarzan took to

AS he waited before her door he

He did not explain that he had

"Lambie" would not appreciate

But he underestimate Lambie'S
tenacity of purpose if he thought
she had finished with the subject.
She said, I've been thinking
about this matter of where you're

there it's absolutely essential that
you should pay for your room"
He surprised her by saying meek
ly, 81 guess you're right"
Don't you want to move?
Wouldn't you rather live somewhere
else?"
No, there was no place else he
could be half so comfortable for
so little money. Secretly he told
himself he wanted to stay and prove
to Sally OSbourne that he could
make enough to pay his own ex-
penSeS.
He didn't intend to stink off and
disappear. Lambie, understanding
nothing of these reasons, rather i'm
