CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE

ELLEN was overwhelmed with re-
Il lief. Stevens question struck
the chains from her very spirit. To
postpone this marriage, to defer it
until Stevens return from London
that would give her five blessed
weeks in which to conquer her
problem.
She need not go ahead The man
who loved her had himself set her
free.
Then she looked at Steven and
saw in his eyes the despair he could
not hide. She knew she could not
take advantage of such quixotic
generosity.
She understood Steven had made
the offer because he was the person
he was, understood that she must
refuse it because she was the per-
son she was. She saw Steven again
as a beloved friend. He was not a
stranger whom she could hurt.

that night.
1t was not so many miles from
Manhattan, just a pleasant drive
through the still, breathleSs evening.
When they were clear of traffic and
on the long, silver road, Steven
pulled her close to him. She
dropped her head to his shoulder.
Strange that she never had be-
fore thought of Steven driving a
car. She felt safe and secure as
she watched his hands, steady at
the wheel. Would life with him be
always safe?
Suddenly she knew that she was
hungry.

The palace official halted before the ape
man. Who are you?" he demanded What
is your business with the king?" IT am a
friend" replied Tarzan. IT come from the
land of your god to visit Ko-tan, king of Pal

impressed. They whispered among themselves.
Again the spokesman turned to Tarzan, say

want with Ko-tan?" Tarzan drew himself to
his full height and assumed a stern, command

The ape-man was not sure how far this show

Ellen did her best to repair the
ravages of her grief and terror
while her sister watched.
They were in the living room
again and then on their way down
the stairs. They stepped out into
the glorious day. The limousine
swept them out of the shabby
neighborhood, out of New York
and on to the smooth road that
led to Haley, Conn.
They had chosen this small town
in the hills because Steven knew
o clerk who would withhold report
ing the ceremony until he and his
bride we're far away on the ocean.
No one spoke of Ellen's long abb
sence in the bedroom. There had
been no time. But as they swept
down the tree-lined, shady streets
of the little village Ellen sensed that
Steven meant to mention it.
When they alighted from the car,
he drew her away from the others.
L believe you were crying before
we started" he said gently. "If you
want to stop right here, there's no
reason for going on.
Perhaps you would rather have
more time to decide. Shall we wait

y Bottomley, first sacker traded today
to the Cincinnati Reds, has been
one Of the mainstays of the st. Louis
Cardinals since 1922. He was the

Never once in his 13 seasons with the
club has Bottomley batted under 800.
In 1881, Bottomley, injured early in the
season, was forced to the bench. Upon
his recovery he was one of the chief
cogs in the pennant victory. and in the
world series with the Athletics it was
his great defensive play which helped
the Redbirds to victory.
Last season, playing in 80 games,
Bottomley batted to an average Of 1902

place his main reliance on Jim Collins,

was hindered by the lack of modern
