Praeclarus ordered the other servants to

As Taizan’s eyes fell upon the black, a
possible means of communication occurred to
him. “Are you a Bagego?" Tarzan asked.
“Yes," he said. And so Tarzan found an

woman who he was when there was loud

Celia will be rather busy. Good

“Good night."
Evelyn’s hand closed over the
young man’s and clung for an in-

that though his eyes were on hers,
he did not really see her. Quickly
he turned and left the apartment. |
It was an hour later that John
Mitchell and his daughter arrived.
Mrs. Parsons greeted them cor-
dially, kissed Celia and assured
the girl she was delighted to see
her. There was a little talk and
then Mitchell departed. Celia went

MODERN SOCRATES
LONDON—When Serge Vast-
lanki was sentenced to death in
Estonia, a republic on the Gulf of
Finland, he was given his choice
of dying by hanging or poison.
He chose the latter. He took a
big dose of poison and suffered
for three weeks without dying. He
finally recovered and the govern-
ment wanted him again to take his
choice. But he claimed that he
had taken his chance of death and
that it was not willed that he
should die, so he refused both the
noose and poison.

"Oh, but Mrs. Parsons, you’re

sincere. “Why, you ean’t be—well
more than a year or two older

“My dear boy! Certainly I must

—do you think she’d marry me?"
"Oh!" The exclamation was
sharp, high-pitched.
“She must have said something
to you about the way she feels,”
Shields persisted. "You’ve seen
her with these other fellows. Tell
me! Do you think I have a
chance?".
"But didn’t you know?" Evelyn
exclaimed: "Oh, I’m so sorry!
My dear boy, I thought of course
you knew—
"Knew what?"
"Why—oh, I don’t know what
to say! I supposed of course she
had told you. Cella assured me
you and she were such close
friends!"
"What is it she didn’t tell me?
What do you mean?”
Evelyn Parsons took the young
man’s hands in hers. "This hurst
me deeply,’ she said in a moving
voice. "I do think Celia should
have told you-herself. Of course
it’s not announced generally yet,
but Celia’s to be married. I sup-
posed you knew!"
"Married? You mean Celia’s
promised. someone else? They’re
engaged? Oh, I suppose it’s that
