Haven't 1 sheltered you and guarded you? Haven't I kept you away from evil, end évil away from you?” ‘At this point the daughter began ‘to be personified. She was called by her name. “Helen, Helen, Helen,” said the yolce, “how could y How could you run away from the mother that Toves you so, and stay away three days and nights?” Here it seemed as if Helen must have made some remonstrance. If #0, the sounds of it were inaudible to Bowers, ‘Naw Sariall by Gourerneun Mernia. Bowers, she nad the ook of a young woman who knew her way about and who had been hardened and sharpened in the school of experl- ence which is the result of econoni | Pressure. She was dressed in one of those showy uniforms which, unknown to the armies Of the world, are affected by animal trainers. It was white and Profusely decoratec with gold but- tons and gold braid. The well-cut breeches and boots were also white. The boots had gold tcps. Her subconscious mind had prob- ably made some record of the s!ap- ping on the canvas and Bowers’ re- quest for admission, for she now turned her head slowly and looked at him. The young man, who was by no means shy, chose to interpret this look of blank non-recognition as an invitation, and he entered the tent, begging her pardon, as he did | so. Knowing what is to be expected from the average young white man in the tropics, and from the old ones too, for that matter, the young wo- man’s attitude, if not belligerent, was cool and noncommittal. “Looking for someone?” asked. Bowers, respectful, charming and disarming, came closer. Where wo- men were concerned, he always took she 4l've a cargo of animals wished on me,” Bowers. said “What's that you say?” said the mother. “Innocent? Guilt is written tw every feature of your depraved » Wittle face. What have you done with your clothes?” During this harangue Bowers had formed a mental image of Helen. Her uame attracted him. The face ofa young wonmn by the same name ‘was said to have iaunched a thou- sand ships. “Now don’t stand there.” said the Voice, “and tel] me that you've been Tobbed.” Bowers choked down a laugh. And il at once the cold, hard voice be- ame tender and beseeching and forgiving. “There, there, honey, don’t cry! Come to Mother. Mother forgives You. Now then,” the voice had taken on a playful, coaxing quality, “tell Mother ati about everything. .. . Yes, darling . . . | understand ... ‘Well, | guess that’s nature .. . flea ature, monkey nature and human mature!” ‘Then there was silence. It seemed as if the silence was going to last indefinitely. Surely, thought Bowers, ‘the young woman has had time to faim down. He struck the tent flap i ly a number of times with his pen hand. Then he said loudly: \: "May | come in?” ‘HERB was no immediate an- swer; and thinking that neither “is voice nor his hand-slappings on the canvas had caught the attention of those within, he pulled the flap Gingerly aside and poked his head Cautiously into the tent. The tent did cortain a pretty Young woman, or should we say, & Beautiful young woman; and she Was fully and even elaborately Glothed. For the rest, the tent con- tained great animal cages which Were empty. The fron-barred doors Were ajar. Some pieces of cheat and gaudy Juggage formed a group. A doll-sized tia trunk was open. A red suitcase, Bo bigger than a woman's vanity . bag, stood beside the trunk. The pretty, or perhaps beautiful Young woman, stood in the midst of the tent with a small female mon- Key of the Rhesus species in her rms, The young woman had hair of the color or quality known as plati- ‘Bum; and to the experienced eye of e THE SANDINGS AMERICAN LEAGUE LS One W. be Pet aa W.

Can you put me in touch with him?” Again, before her answer came, there was hesitation. Then she said slowly: “Yes, can; but | won't.” She could hardly have made the statement more rudely. If Bowers was quick to be attracted, he was equally quick to take offense. He felt a little as if his face had been slapped. “If you won't, you won't,” he said coldly; “and thank you very much for practically nothing.” And he turned on his heel. “Just a minute,” said the young woman. “] didn’t mean to be rude.” Bowers affected amazement. “What,” he said, “you didn’t!

To a keen nose this might bave been true; and Bowers, turning to the big cages, | sniffed and said: “Tigers. What's become of them?” { (Copyright, 1934, by Gouverneur Morris) The trainer makes an offer to Bowers, tomorrow.
