Tarzan l 1 of THE APES By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS ■ "

BEGIN HEBE John Clayton. Lord Greystoke, i appointrd to a British post in Africa. May, 1888. he and Lacy Alice Rutherford. his wife, sail from Dover. During mutiny all officers on the Fuwalda are killed and the Claytons are landed with their possessions on isolated jungle shores. Clayton records their strange life. A year after their sou is bom, Lady Alice dies. Clayton is killed by Kerchak, an ape. Kala, a mother ape, steals the Clayton child and drops her own dead babe in the cradle. Kala nurses the white babe, and at 10 years Tarzan i meaning white skin) climbs as well as the ape 8. Tarzan gains access to the .Clayton hut and from pictures in a child’s primer learns that he is a man a different trible than the apes; that the tittle apes are monkeys, Sabor a lioness. Ten tor an elephant, eta He copies letters with pencils found in an old drawer. At 18 he understands nearly all he reads in the many books, but never having seen a human being cannot speak the English language. Savages escaping from white officers invade territory a few miles from Tarzan's home and build a village. Kulonga, son of Mbonga, their king, kills Kala with a poisoned arrow. Tarzan pursues Kulonsra and from a high tree watches him Jtill and cook a boar. At the edge of Mbonga’s village Tarzan strangles Kulonga with a lasso and strips him of his belongings. GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER X The Fear-Phantom From a lofty perch Tarzan .viewed the village of thatched huts across tile intervening plantation. He saw that at one point the forest touched the village, and to this spot he made his way, lured by a fever of curiosity to behold animals of his own kind, and to learn more < f their ways and view the strange lairs in which they lived. His savage life among the fierce wild brutes of the jungle left no opening for any thought that these could be aught else jthan enemies. Similarity of form led him Into no erroneous conception of the welcome that would be accorded him should he be discovered by these, the first of his own kind he had ever seen Tarzan of the Apes was no sentimentalist. He knew nothing of the brotherhood of man. All things outside his own tribe were his deadly enemies, with the few exceptions of which Tantor, the elephant, was a marked example. And he realized all this without malice or hatred. To kill was the law of the wild world he knew. Few were his primitive pleasures, but the greatest of these was to hunt and kill, and so he accorded to others the right to cherish the same desires as he, even though he himself might be the object of their hunt. His strange life Had left him neither morose nor bloodthirsty. That he joyed In killing, and that he killed with a joyous laugh upon his handsome lips betokened no Innate cruelty. He killed for food most often, but, being a man, he so.netimes killed for pleasure, a thli g whleh no other animal does; for it has remained for man alone amo.ig all creatures to kill senselessly an 1 wantonly for the mere pleasure of inflicting suffering and death. And vhen he killed for revenge, or In self-defense, he did that also without hysteria, but it was a very businesslike proceeding which admitted of no levity.

So it was that now, as he cautiously approached the village of Mbonga, he was quite prepared either to kill or be killed should be be discovered. He proceeded with unwonted stealth, for Kulonga had taught him great respect for the little sharp splinters/ bf wood which dealt death so swiftly and unerringly, length he came to a great tree, neavy laden with thick foliage and loaded with pendant loops of giant creepers. From this almost impenetrable bower above the village he crouched, looking down upon the SIOIIiCN DISORDERED? Take Haley’s Magnesia-Oil—-milk of magnesia and mineral oil combined There is a cause for disordered stomach. And that cause will most often be found in the lower bowel, the Beat of most so-called ‘‘stomach ’rouble.” Acids from fermenting, accumulating waste matter must be neutralized and waste matter eliminated.

scene below him, wondering over every feature of this new, strange life. There were naked children running and playing In the village street. There were women grinding dried plantain in crude stone mortars, while others were fashioning cakes from the powdered flour. Out In the fields he could see still other women hoeing, weeding, or gathering. All wore strange protruding girdles of dried grass about their hips and many were loaded with brass and copper anklets, armlets and bracelets. Around many a dusky neck hung curiously colled strands of wire, while several were further ornamented by huge nose-mgs. Tarzan of the Apes looked with growing wonder at these S strange creatures. Dozing In the shade he saw several men, while at the extreme outskirts of the clearing he occasionally caught glimpses of armed warriors apparently guarding the village against surprise from an attacking enemy. He noticed that the women alone worked. Nowhere was there evidence of a man tilling the flleds or performing any of the homely du ties of the village. Finally, his eyes rested upon 8 woman directly beneath him. Before her was a small cauldron standing over a low fire and in it bubbled a thick, reddish, tarry mass. On one side of her lay a quantity of wooden arrows, the points of which she dipped into the seething substance, then laying them upon a narrow rack of boughs which stood on her other side.

Tarzan of the Apes was fascinated. Here was the secret of the terrible destructiveness of The Archer’s tiny missiles. He noted the extreme care which the woman took that none of the matter should touch her hands, and once when a particle spattered upon one of her fingers he saw her plunge the member into a vessel of •water land quickly rub tjhe tiny stain away with a handful of leaves. Tarzan of the Apes knew nothing of poison, but his sshrwed reasoning told him that it was this deadly stuff that killed, and not the little arrow, which was merely the messenger that carried it into the body of its victim. How he should like to hare more of those little death dealing silvers. If the woman would only leave her work for -n Instant he could drop down, gather up a handful, and be back in the tree again before she drew three breaths. As he was trying to think out some plan to distract her attention he heard a wild cry from across the clearing. He looked and saw a black warrior standing beneath the vhry tree in which he had killed the murderer of Kala an hour before. The fellow was shouting and waving his spear above his head. Now and again he would point to something on the ground before him. The village was In an uproar instantly, Armed men rushed from the Interior of many a hut and raced madly across the clearing toward the excited sentry. After them trooped the old men, and the women and children until. In & ifaoment, the village was deserted.

Tarzan of the Apes knew that they had found the body of his victim, but that interested him far less than the fact that no one remained in the village to prevent his taking a supply of the arrows which lay below him. Quickly and noiselessly he dropped to the ground beside the cauldron of poison. For a moment he stood motionless, his quick, bright eyes scanning the interior of the palisade. No one was in sight. His eyes rested upon the open doorway of a nearby hut. He would take a look within thought Tarzan, and so, cautiously, he approached the low thatched building. For a moment he stood without, listening Intently. There was no sound, and he gllded_into the semidarkness of the interior. Weapons hung against-the walls—long spears, strangely shaped knives, a couple of narrow center of the room was a cooking pot, and at the far end a litter of dry grasses covered by woven mats which evidently served the owners as beds and bedding. Several human skulli lay upon the floor. Tarzan of the Apes felt of each article, hefted the spears, smelled of them, for he *‘saw” largely through his sensitive and highly trained nostrils. He determined to own one of these long, pointed sticks, but he could not take one on this trip because of the arrows he meant to carry. One by one, as he took each article from the walls, he placed them in a pile in the center of the room, and on top of all he placed the cooking pot, inverted, and on top of this he laid one of the grinning skulls, upon which he fastened the headdress of the dead Kulonga. Then he stood back and surveyed his work, and. grinned. Tarzan of the Apes was a Joker. But now he heard, without, the

sounds of many voices, and long mournful howls, and mighty walling. He was startled. Had he remained too long? Quickly he reached the doorway and peered down the village street toward the village gate. The natives were not yet In sight, though he could plainly hear them approaching across the plantation! They must be very neat. Like a flash he sprang across the opening to the pile of arrows. Gathering up all he could carry, under one arm, he overturned the seething cauldron with a kick, and disappeared into the foliage above Just as the first of the returning natives entered the gate at the far end of the village street. Then he turned to watch the proceeding below, poised like some wild bird ready to take swift wing at the first sign of danger. The natives filed up the street, four of them bearing the dead body of Kulonga. Behind trailed the women, "uttering strange cries and weird lamentations. On they came to the portals of Kulonga’s hut, the very one in which Tarzan had wrought his depredations. Scarcely had half a dozen entered the building ere they came rushing out in wild, Jabbering confusion. The others hastened to gather about. There was much excited gesticulating, pointing and chattering;

then several of the warriors approached and peered within. Finally, an old fellow with many ornaments bf metal about his arms and legs, and a necklace of dried human hands depending upon his chest, entered the hut. It was Mbonga, the king, father of Kulonga. For a few moments all was silent. Then Mbonga emerged, a look of mingled wrath and superstitious fear iWrit upon his hideous countenance. He spoke a few words to the assembled warriors, and in an instant the men were flying through the little village searching mlmltely every hut and corner within the palisade. Scarcely had the Bearch commenced than the overturned cauldron was discovered, and with it the theft of the poisoned arrows. Nothing more they found, uid it was a thoroughly awed and frightened group of savages which huddled around their king a few moments later. Mbonga could explain nothing of the strange events that had taken place. The finding of the still warm body of Kulonga—on the very verge of their fields and within easy earshot of the village—knifed and stripped at the door of his father’s home, was in itself sufficiently mysterious, but these last awesome discoveries within the village, within the dead Kulonga’s own hut, filled their hearts with dismay, and conjured in their poor brains only the most frightful of superstitious explanations. They stood in little groups, calking in low tones, and ever casting affrighted glances behind them from their great rolling eyes. Tarzan of the Apes watched them for a while from his lofty parch in the great tree. There was much In their demeanor which he could not understand, for of superstition he was Ignorant, and of fear of any kind he had but a vague conception. The sun was high in the heavens. Tarzan had not broken fast this day, and it was many miles to where lay the toothsome remains of Horta the boar. So he turned his back upon the village of Mbonga and melted away into the leafy fastness of the forest. CHAPTER XI "King of the Apes” It was not yet dark when he reached the tribe, though he to exhume and devour the remains of the wild boar he had cached the preceding day, and again to take Kulonga’s bow and arrows from the

tree top in which he had hidden them. It wits a well-laden Tarzan who dropped from the branches into the midst of the tribe of Kerchak. With swelling chest he narrated the glories of his adventure and exhibited the spoils of conquest. Kerchak grunted and turned away, for he was jealous of this strange member of his band. In his ht.le evil brain he sought for some excuse to wreak his hatred upon Tarzan. The nerft day Tarzan was practicing with his bow and arrows at the first gleam of dawn. At first ’ e lost nearly every bolt he shot, but finally he learned to guide the little shafts with fair accuracy, and ere a month had passed he was no mean shot; but his proficiency had erst him nearly his entire supply of i throws.

With the new year in and axes sharpened, the question of removing Truly W. Nolen, superintendent of city ash and garbage collection, is before the sanitary board. Nolen, under fire for some time, has weathered every storm. On Dec. 18, the last move to oust him failed. Now, with O. C. Ross taking the place of Jay A. Craven on the board the question is expected to be up again. Insubordination among Nolen’s employes is charged. In return Nolen charges politics. A changed attitude has been evidenced among sanitary board members, however, in favor of retaining Nolen. John F. "Walker, superintendent of street cleaning, and Frank Graham, employe of the sanitary board, have been suggested for Nolen’s place. Here is the solution to Monday’s cross-word puzzle:
