JUDITH CAMERON marries ARTHUR
KNIGHT, executive of a New York pub
lishing house in which she Is employed.
Thev sail for a six weeks’ honeymoon in
Bermuda. Knight is a widower with an
18-vear-old daughter. TONY, who is in
Europe, and a son, JUNIOR, 16, at
school. . .
In hla Infatuation he overlooks the
fact that Judith is not communicative
about her past life. She does not tell
him about her frequent meetings with
a voung man known as “DAN.”
After the first week In Bermuda, a
cablegram arrives announcing that Tony
Knight is coming home. Arthur tells
Judith thev must return at once to
•neet her. Since neither of the children
nows of the father’s remarriage.
Judith is skeptical of her welcome. The
fear proves well founded.
Arthur and Judith reach the Long
Island home lust one day before Tony s
boat docks. Next morning Knight meets
:.;s daughter but when thev arrive at
he house Tonv Ignores Judith and
rushes to her own room.
Knight tries to reason with the girl
and later assures Judith the difficulty
ill be soon settled. He goes to his
office. Late that afternoon Tony eon
onts her stepmother and exclaims.
“Yon’re going to get out!”
NOW CO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER TWELVE (Continued)
She saw a scarlet whirlwind en
tering the room. The whirlwind was
Tony Knight, clad in vivid satin
lounging suit, her dark hair touseled
about her head.
The girl walked directly in front
of Judith’s chair, planted her feet
firmly, rested her hands on her hips
and then spoke:
“Now then,” said Tony Knight
determinedly, "you’re going to get
out!”
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
TONY KNIGHT, infuriated and
in action, was a sight to make
strong men quail. Her eyes flashed.
The vivid, petulant lips were
drawn with rage. Tony stamped
one foot as she cried:
"You’re going to get out of here
—you gold digger! You cheap,
scheming, money grabber, you!
Don’t think you can stay in this
house and get av.ay with your
tricks! I won’t have it. I—!”
Judith was her feet too now’.
Judith’s eyes ...,d narrowed. There
was a dangerous light smoldering
in their blue depths. No one had
ever said that Judith Knight could
not defend herself.
For & moment she hesitated, and
In her perfect silence there was
strength. Tony, spent with the
tempestuous outcry, stood quiver
ing and glaring at the older girl.
Judith’s lips moved—but before the
words came she had checked her
self.
She was remembering this w’as
Arthur's daughter with whom she
had to deal.
"I, am not a gold digger.” she said
calmly. "I'm your father’s wife and
there is no reason why you should
dislike me so. I want to be friends
with you—”
The blazing Tony had recovered
her voice again.
"But I won’t be friends!” she
screamed and her voice rose to a
higher, louder pitch. "You're no
body! You’re nothing but a sneaky,
designing shop girl and you want
my father’s money.
"Well —you won't get It, do you
hear that? You fooled him into
marrying you, but he'll get rid of
you all right. He'll do exactly as I
<av and I won't have you here! Do
you get that?”
Someone else had come into the
living room. Neither of the two
;irls had heard the third person's
.ootsteps. Both turned at the sound
jf his voice.
"You are to apologize at once,
rony!”
Arthur Knight, coat over his arm
ind holding his hat, stood in the
ioorway. He had come into the
nouse just in time to hear his
daughter's last tirade. Knight’s face
was flushed and his chin (of which
Tonys was an exact replica) was
set in a hard line.
"Apologize to Judith!” he com
manded his daughter the second
time. “You are to do it at once.”
"I won’t.”
non
THE air of the room was electric.
One spark—and the fuse would
be lit. Judith glanced from her
husband to Tony, then back again.
What would happen next? It was
terrifying.
"But you mustn't!” she protested.
• You mustn't. Arthur—”
"Stay out of this. Judith." Knight
told her curtly. "Tony is going to
obey me. She is going to ask you
10 forgive the outrageous things she
hu been saying and tell you she
is sorry for them. All right, Tony.”
He turned toward the girl. “Let
me hear your apology.”
Judith never had seen her hus
band in a mood like this. There
was anger in his voice to match
Tony’s own. In addition, there was
determination to brook no resist
ance.
The decisive figure in this drama
of clashing wills was Tony Knight.
She met her father’s gaze sullenly
and rebelliously. Then, as though
his unflinching disapproval was too
much, she sank into a little heap
on the davenport, hid hat face in
her hands and began to weep.
Ruddy circles of embarrassment
shone in Judith’s pale cheeks. What
a scene for her Introduction to the
Knight household! And what gos
sip for the servants!
Both the father’s and daughter’s
voices must have carried far enough
for them to hear. Judith had taken
no part in the controversy and yet
she knew she was the guilty cause
of it all.
She looked at Arthur and thought
his obdurate mood was weakening.
Tony’s shoulders rose and fell. Her
quick, gasping sobs made the only
sound in the room.
"Exuse me, ma’am!”
Frightened, apparently in doubt
about the intrusion, Harriet ap
peared in the doorway.
"What is it, Harriet?”
"It’s—some one on the telephone.
A message for Miss Knight, ma’am.”
"Thank you.”
The maid turned to leave. Tony
raised her head, seeking her father
with tearful, accusing eyes. Then
she arose, brushed back her disor
dered hair and called to Harriet in a
quavering, unsteady voice:
"I —I’ll take the call in the
i study.”
Tony Knight, disappearing through
\ the study door, gave the impres
-1 sion of a forced and hasty retreat.
| Temporarily, Tony's guns were low
ered.
Judith placed a hand on Knight’s
arm.
"I don’t mind about what she
said,” Judith told him. "Don’t be
severe with her, Arthur, on my ac
count.”
He shook her hand off.
"Tony defied me,” he said. " I will
not have defiance. Why, she w’as
talking like a—like a little vixen.
It was outrageous!”
"But I don’t think it’s going to
help any to antagonize the child,”
Judith pleaded.
Knight made no answer. There
seemed nothing for Judith to do
but wait dismally for the outcome.
non
rwas a good five minutes before
Tony reappeared. She had to
pass through the living room to
reach the stairs. Otherwise she
certainly would not have returned.
Tony looked as though she had
; recovered from her temper. The
small face was petulant and sullen
■ still, but the look of wildness was
; gone.
| Some word had come to her over
’ the telephone which had proved
quieting. She was ad odd-looking
j little creature as she entered the
1 living room. The scarlet loung
ing suit she wore had a blouse and
loose trousers, the top part of the
garment very gay with appliqued
figures in black.
Tony wore her dark hair in a low
' knot at the back of her neck. It
I curled becomingly about her face,
but just now the curls were un
kempt and the knot was disordered.
lOn the girl's feet were frivolous
I pumps which shrieked "Paris! ”
Tcny gave her father an appre
i hensive glance and started across
the room. Knight stopped her.
"Tony,” he said, "who was that on
the telephone?”
"Why, father—just—a friend. A
friend who crossed on the same ship
I took.”
j "Was it a man?”
"Y—es. He—asked to take me to
, the theater.”
"You're not leaving this house to
night until you apologize to Judith
for what you said to her.”
Surely Arthur Knight had never
used that tone with his daughter
before. She stared at him for an
instant, as though studying the man.
Suddenly Tony looked toward Ju
dith.
”1 apologize,” she said In a low,
grudging voice, “since my father
insists.”
1 With that Tony Knight fled- She
—Bv William?.
ran out of the room and up the
stairway.
The restraint was broken and
Judith made the most of it. Her
face lit with a smile and she turned
quickly.
“Time Is flying, Arthur. It’s
nearly 6 o'clock and neither of us is
dressed for dinner. With a treasure
like Cora in the kitchen it would
never, never do to keep the meal ,
waiting. Shan’t we go up?”
Knight picked up the hat and i
coat he had dropped into a chair, j
He looked tired.
“Yes,” he agreed. "Here, I’ve got j
to get rid of these things.”
Judith took the hat and coat,
from him. She hung them away j
in a closet for wraps. Then they
mounted the stairs.
Dinner had been ordered for 7
o’clock. Fifteen minutes before
that time Judith was downstairs,
nervously assuring herself that
there could not be another scene.
Such things did not happen. Two
affairs like that in a row were
impossible!
non
WOULD Tony appear for din
ner?
Arthur came down, looking very
handsome in his dinner clothes. The
hour had refreshed him and he
seemed to have forgotten his anger.
"I sent off a note to Junior this
afternoon,” he told her. “By the
way, he’ll be here Saturday. Can’t
decide what to buy the young ras
cal for Christmas.
"You know, to really please him it
ought to be the Graf Zeppelin.
Think you could wrap it in an at
tractive package, Judith?’
She was glad to hear him joke.
Just then Judith’s heart lifted, for
down the stairs came Tony.
“Dinner is served. I think,” said
Judith Knight. “Let’s go into the
dining room.”
Tony spoke only once or twice
throughout the meal, but was civil
toward her stepmother. The girl
had dressed for the theater in a
dazzling white frock which com
bined the crispness of taffeta with
tulle.
It was sophisticated, low-cut, and
a great bow on the skirt suggested
its French origin. Tony wore coral
jewelry, no more flaming than her
lips.
The dinner passed more comfort
ably than Judith had expected.
Tony asked to be excused when cof
fee was served. She went up to
her room, and fifteen minutes later
when Harriet announced a young
man was waiting, Tony descended.
Judith saw that the girl was
wrapped in white fur. Without any
word for the two in the living room,
Tony and her escort left the house.
An hour or so had passed before
Judith Knight said hesitantly to
Arthur:
"Do you know whom Tony is with
tonight?”
He shrugged his shoulders.
"Good Lord, no! I can't keep
trace of her admirers. Never could!”

to the stake, and the huge beast seemed not to
understand its master’s helplessness. Now the
warriors, realizing that it was a flesh and blood

upon them, their huge forms exaggerated by the
play of moonlight and camp fire—came the
hideous apes of Akut Now the ape-man’s sav

In answer to it, Sheets and the apes leaped
growling after the fugitives Some of the war
riors turned to battle with their enraged antag

beasts they went down to death. Others were
pounced upon in the act of flight. Soon the
village was empty. Only then was Tarzan able
to recall his savage pack to his side.
