CHAPTER III

HI ing herself against the impact
of dancing couples. She was toe
dismayed to speak. What had she
done, what had her impetuous words
meant to her guardian, to cause
him to end their dance abruptly and
speak so SternIy to her?
While she searched her mind for
an answer Brent led her back to
their table. She sat Imply in her
chair, waiting for him to explain
his admonition.
He started to speak, but the
waiter arrived with the melon and
Brent held his tongue. But the in
slant they were alone the words
came quick and precise.
Interference he said, ''iS one
thing that I will not tolerate"
Interference" Helen whispered
the word with difficulty.
"You must never question me"
Brent went on relentleSsly.
but Leno, I didn't"
please, Helen. You must listen
to me. You have been groomed at
Miss Spann'S for a role that re-
quiraS implicit faith in my decisions.
1t will be necessary at all times for
you to accept my word and my judg-
ment without question. Your own
wishes will be secondary to mine. -
He paused and regarded her in
tently. Helen sat quite still.
posSible-that you cannot submerge
your own opinions and desires-we
will not go on. You may choose
your own path. But you must de-
eide now"
1t was brutla. No one, not even
the girl before him, knew so well as
he what her answer would be. For
years he had taken an evil SatiSfac-
ton in his domination of her; evil
because he knew it was based on
her tremendous capacity for loving,
her inability to curb or limit her af-
lection.
1t seemed to her that he ques-
toned her loyalty even to give her
the choice he named. Why, she be-
longed to him. Her life was his.
She lived for no one or nothing else.
I'm sorry" she said simply.
Then please remember what
have told you. And now eat your
melon like a good girl"
DUT Helen could not eat it. The
- very strength of her that sent
her devotion out to him in whole
hearted measure refused the hui
initiation of being treated like a
child. 1t wounded her, but she for
gave it. though the melon remained
untouched.
Brent was too selfish to notice. He
ate his own melon with relish. Be-
fore they were served again he sug-
geSted another dance. Helen de-
clined and he did not urge. He
could read her mind as though it
were book. Best to turn the whole
incident of lightly, make her for

So he set himself to entertain her,
and when they arrived back at the
school Helen was again in a rap

go away with Leno-Somewhere-to
be with him every day.
1t would be sweet to have nothing
to do but live for him, nothing else
to think of but ways to delight him,
to keep him with her always. And
perhaps, some day, he would dis
cover that she was a woman and
not o child any longer.
Brent drove back to New York,
satisfied that he could pull the
strings of her heart as he wished.
But the heart itself. There he was

His brain told him the chest con-

it, but the iron lock and bands bafled
even his strength. So he buried il.
Darkness settled before he was back in
the cabins vicinity. Astonished, he saw
the interior Of the cabin appear as
bright as day.

The smoke on the horizon increased,
and the sailors lost no time in getting
under full sail. Tarzan, an interested
spectator, sat specializing on the
strange actions. He wondered what the
chest contained. Dropping to the
ground he found spade and began
digging until he uncovered the body.

He dragged it from the grave, then
unearthed the chest, replacing the body
and the earth. -Four sailors had

chest. Tarzan of the Apes picked it
up easily and carried it into the
densest part of the jungle. He travelled
for several hours.

constitutes what the boys might
call problem.
Loughran Is nobody's toy. The
man who beats him must be good
fighter to begin with and secondly
he must be in superb condition. IL
Sharkey hasn't done any fairly
hard training from February until
now, and IL he fights Loughran in
September, Jack will have to do
plenty Of hustling to get into
shape.
For a fight Of the kind that he
..oust put up to beat the master
SSNSer, Sharkey, idle since his
Stribling battle might need two
months OF mighty hard work. And
there's hardly month left, with
no word from the Boston district
to lead anyone to believe that Jack
is really tuning up.
It's all Greek to me. / cant
figure out that Sharkey, or
that smart manager of his,
would permit complete lOafing
until now.
Therefore, the guess must be
that Jack has been training se.
cretly for some months, that he
has caused all those ''in-on-the-
know" to keep quiet about It so
that he can pull surprise on any
opponent IL Loughran hooks onto
the notion that Jack isn't trained.
A canny sort of fellow. this Jack
Sharkey with plenty of cunning
and a bagful of tricks. All this
silence concerning him and his
doings may be only a cover to
conceal the fact that, when he does
take on Loughran, lack of eondi-
tion never can be attributed as the
basic cause for failure.

Those who aspire to the amateur

they learned the Georgian played
a leisurely round over the Pebble

a neat 73, one over par for the

Shooting one over par. on the
