"Tarzan Of The Apes"

"If it had been just you, believe me, I wouldn't have done it, for I knew from the start that it would only hurt me in your eyes, but I couldn't think of that dear old man living in the hole we found here. Won't you please believe that I did it just for him and give me that little crumb of pleasure at least?"

? ? ? ? "I do believe you, Mr. Clayton," said the girl, "because I know you are big enough and generous enough to have done it just for him--and, oh Cecil, I wish I might repay you as you deserve--as you would wish."

? ? ? ? "Why can't you, Jane?"

? ? ? ? "Because I love another."

? ? ? ? "Canler?"

? ? ? ? "No."

? ? ? ? "But you are going to marry him. He told me as much before I left Baltimore."

? ? ? ? The girl winced.

? ? ? ? "I do not love him," she said, almost proudly.

? ? ? ? "Is it because of the money, Jane?"

? ? ? ? She nodded.
