"HE famous banker. Jason whitehead
had two sons whom he loved de-
vOtedly. They were healthy lads and
handsome He showered impartially
affection on both, but subconSiousy
realized that his favorite was Charles, the
younger.
Charles was joyous he was debonair he was
active, he was e1ervescent Every one was his
friend; his conviviality was contagious. Jokes
were always on his lips, and bright banter.
Good nature and audacity cleaned in his black
eyes. He was the exemplihcation of youth.
Nothing was too good for him. nothing was
impossible to him.
Jason Whitehead had never had any youth;
responsibilities, almost from the cradle had
been his-hard work and Worries and in
Charles he lived Vicariously the golden Spring
time he had been denied
In Frank, the elder boy, he realized he also
lived again. Frank had his conservatism his
diligence, his taciturnity his stability to con-
quer. Though him the great and unsullied
name Of Whitehead would continue to grow in
power and magic In the marts of trade and
commerce.
Charles 1oyable Charles, liked to play, which
required money! fond parent providing this

Betdjune Taylor
Bettiune was beautiful, cultured intelligent

Frank, and the two attended quite often the
opera, lectures and art exhibitions. They felt
somehow, vaguely comfortable in each others
presence.
Infrequently Charles dashed up with his
smart geldings and blithely demanded that Bet

acknowledged the fact, young heads admired
it. Some conjectured to Franks attitude
toward his brothers easy placement but the
object of their curiosity deigned to give no
satisfaction Jason Whitehead himself was
immeasurably pleased at it ALL
"You have been my anchor, my boy" he
said affectiOnately to Frank one day, "and
Charles has been my sail With you have
enjoyed security, the calm and peace Of life
With him : have enjoyed the tumult Of storms
the hue of fat-on sunsets and the allnrement
Of wide spaces. Now he has come to port:

you both"
Soon the last chink Of time closed over him.
the last chink, and he passed peacefully away
leaving his two capable sons at the head Of the
. temple Of gold he had 80 successfully estab-
hshed. Both seriously addressed themselves to
their responsibilities

months afterward 10 his older brother would

It was his ambition for us to carry on in every
phase, and now it's time we were thinking of

Prank agreed, ahstrusely, and he was the
best man when Charles married Bettijune

years from her slender shoulders dropped Oh,

his dad and to that person he In time more
than compensated for the loss Of the ador-
able Bettijune. He became the ruling passion

flushed contented1y. He wished more ardently

had never married. pitied him for the things
he had missed He had never been anywhere
or done anything Frank was an odd fellow
Yeah.
The boy grew rapidly, and was the pet of all
with whom he came in contact. His antics
tickled the servants although inexplicably, they
mildly annoyed the father; he slid down the
stairway bannisters, put salt in the breakfast
coffee and once brought o dead goldfish to the
kitchen for the cook to fry. Some kid, Ell!
He was great one, they ali said-just like
appended the other help, his daddy.
A warm bond seemed to spring between the
uncle and nephew; they romped much together
devising, Secretively, new games, cunning little
tricks.
Jason was smart in school, a favorite With
his fellows. His teachers adored him. although
one principal did write confidential note to
Mr.. Whitehead suggesting timorously it might
be feasible to seek to less the mischief motif
in his sons makeup.

CHAPTER FOuRTEEN

XXTOULDN'T Tommy believe,
wv now that she'd got a contract
to sing at the broadcasting station
where Irene had hoped to trill
her soprano notes, that she had
robbed her sister of her chance?
This was the thought that marred
Beryls joy. Wouldn't it look as if
there might be something in the
charges Irene had brought against
her? Tommy might be fair, but he
was infatuated
Yes, that was just what he was,
Berry, thought angrily. Simply in
fatuated. And an infatuated man
could believe anything that had a
semblance Of truth in it.
She was more disappointed in
having her satisfaction with the
days events lessened than she
cared to own. She couldn't take
lightly the possibility that Tommy
would misjudge her.
But 1t did seem that something
in life ought to be perfect. And if
she couldn't be blindly, joyously
EIdbCA dh tllLO JAlIlts
She arrived home eXasperated
with her depression. What do I
care what any one thinks?" she had
said TO herself over and over before
she got there. Tommy Wilson is
nothing to mel"
But it did no good. She said
nothing to any one about the pre-
cious contract until the family we're
at dinner. Then she spoke of it
quietly, looking across the table at
her mother.
Il don't suppose Dad told you
that I went to town today" she re-
marked. And then, before her
mother could reply, she hurried on:
II was called in to sing again at
RKG for Mr.. Gaylord, the soap
man. He's putting on an advertis-
ing campaign to popularize Velve-
tan-his new summer soap-and he
wanted some one who wasn't either
a singer or crooner- and. :"
Good heavensl Stop and get
your breath" her mother exclaimed.
What are you talking about?"
J We'll, if you hadn't stopped me
I'd have told you. 1t seems that
I'm like that-neither a singer nor a
crooner-and he liked my voice and
I'm to sing on his radio hour.
They're going to call me the Vel
vetan Girl with the velvet voice. -
She could not resist a glance at
Irene, who, had she been troubled
with high blood pressure, undoubt-
edly would have been threatened
with apopleXy
Il don't believe It'll" Irene
shrieked after a struggle to get her
breath. Thereafter there was much
commotion at the Everett family
dinner table for a good half-hour.
Beryl lost her depression and
enjoyed her trump. They'd been
treating her pretty shabbily and
she was intensely human.
XXTHEN it was all over Irene was
w upstairs, declaring she wouldn't
stand for it. She'd leave home if
her mother allowed Beryl to make
a laughing stock out of her like
that.
Every one knew she'd had q voice
test and hadn't got anything out
of it. That was humiliation enough
without this
And Mrs. Everett was on the liv-
ing room couch trying to ward of
sick headache with an ice pack.
She didn't want Beryl near her, so
the girl whose good news had
caused a volcanic eruption in the
family drove disconsolately away
from the house in her old car to

the journey for a half dozen eggs
that Mr. Everett had donated.
A male quartet brought forth
hearty applause, as did some fancy
tap dancing, but the act of the eve
ming, in the principal actors opin-
ion at any rate, was the one entitled
"A Newsboys Dream"
Conceived, staged and acted by
Michael Dorgan, it was a master
piece Of propaganda. Mike was, in
real life, the boy who delivered pa
pers in the neighborhood.
He wanted a bicycle on which to
make his rounds, but because of
something in the past his father
would not get him one.
And so Mixes act (his father, he
saw to it, had first row seat
showed the suffering Of lad who
was forced to walk miles each day
to deliver his papers.
Then he went to sleep when he
stopped to rest a moment from his
weary burden "a large paper box
wrapped in newspaper and
dreamed that he had bicycle.
He got up (still dreaming) and
found it where it had been con-
cealed on the stage beneath a pile
of gunny sacks that were supposed
TO look like tree stumps.
AS he mounted the bicycle and
rode happily around the stage, Gill
bert Walter, to whom it belonged,
thought maybe he hadn't appreci-
! ated it enough. Mike certainly
seemed thrilled.
He whistled and rode and twirled
his bundle Chat a moment before
had been so heavy lightly around
his head and generously refrained
from looking at his father.
Mr.. Dorgan became decidedly I'M
comfortable as ding
laughter broke loose around him.
1t was, however, the remark of a
girl sitting behind him that stirred
his anger.

Eagerly he dragged his steps toward it. He
heard a womans voice raised in anger and the
deep tones of man replying. The mans voice
was that of the supposed dead Esteban and the
wonans voice belonged to Flora Hawkes. Kraski
called Estehan by name and the false Tarzan,
followed by the girl, came from the hut. Had
Krasd not heard his voice, he would have
thought it was Tarzan of the Apes, SO remark
able was the resemblance.

crotch Of great tree while the hunting carni-
vora roared and growled through the blackness

he would start to wakefulness as the long hours
