TARZAN 1 of THE APES By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS

BEGIN HERE May. 1888. John Clayton. Lord Greystoke. and Lady Alice Rutherford, his wife, sail from Dover for a British post In Africa. Durlnsr mutiny all officers on the Fuwalda are killed and the Claytons are landed on isolated jungle shores. A year after their son is born. Lady Alice dies. Clayton is killed by an ape. A mother ape steals the Clavton child and drops her own dead babe in the cradle. She nurses the white child and at 10 years Tarzan (meaning white skin) climbs like an ape. He grains access to the Clayton nut and from pictures in a child’s primer learns that he ia a man. At 18 he understands nearly all he reads in his father's books, but cannot speak English. He finds his father’s photo, diary and a locket. As the diary is in French Tarzan does not learn the riddle of his strange life. Savages escaping white officers invade territory near Tarzan'a home. He strangles Kulonga. son of Mbonga, their king. Tarzan keeyea the savages alarmed with his secret pranks. The apes acknowledge Tarzan as their leader. He Is forced to fight Terkoz, a fierce ape. But so far the young’Englishman had been able to keep those horrible fangs from his jugular and now, as they fought less fiercely for a moment, to regain their breath, Tarzan formed a cunning plan. He would work his way to the other’s back and, clinging there with tocth and nail, drive his knife home until Terkoz was no more. | The jnaneuver was accomplished more easily than he had hoped, for the stupid beast, not knowing what Tarzan was attempting, made on particular effort to prevent the accomplishment of the design. But when, finally, he realized that his antagonist was fastened to him where his teeth and fists alike were useless against him, Terkoz hurled himself about upon the .'ground so violently that Tarzan could but cling desperately to the leaping, turning, twisting body, and ere he had struck a blow, the knife was hlirled from his hand by a heavy Impact against the earth, and Tarzan found himself defenseless. _ During the rollings and squirmlngs of the next few minutes, Tarzan's hold was loosened a dozen times until finally an accidental circumstance of those swift and everchanging evolutions gave him anew hold with his right hand, which he soon realized was absolutely unassailable. His arms was passed beneath .?erkoz’s arm from behind and his hand and forearm encircled the back of Terkoz’s neck. It was the halfNelson of modern wrestling which the untaught ape-man had stumbled upon, but divine reason showed him in an instant the value of the thing he had discovered. It was the difference to him between life and death. And so he struggled to encompass a similar hold with the left hand, and in a few moments Terkoz’s neck was creaking beneath a full-Nelson. There was no more lungirg about now. The two lay perfectly still upon the ground, Tarzan upon Terkoz’s back. Slowly the bullet head of the ape was being forced lower and lower upon.his chest. Tarzan knew what the result

would be. In an Instant the neck would break. Then there came to Terkoz’s rescue the same thing that had put him in these sore straits—a man’s reasoning power. “If I kill him,’’ thought Tarzan, “what advantage will It be to me? Will it not but rob the tribe of a great fighter? And If Terkoz be dead, he will know nothing of my supremacy, while alive he will ever be an example to the other apes.” “Ka-goda?” hissed Tarzan in Terkoz’s ear. which, in ape tongue, freely translated, means, “Do yoil surrender?” For a moment there was no reply, and Tarzan added a few more ounces of pressure, which elicited a horrified shriek of pain from the, great beast. \ “Ka-goda?” repeated Tarzan. "Ka-goda!” cried Terkoz. “Listen,” said Tarzan. easing up a trifle, but not releasing his hold. “I am Tarzan, King of the Apes, mighty hunter, mighty fighter. In all the jungle there is none so great. m "You have said *Ka-goda’ to me. All the tribe have heard. Quarrel no more with your king or your people, for next time I shall kill you. Do you understand?” “Huh,” assented Terkoz. “And you are satisfied?” “Huh,” said the ape. Tarzan let him up, and In a few minutes all were back at their vocations, as though naught had occurred to mar the tranquillity of their primeval forest haunts. But deep in the minds of the apes was rooted the conviction that Tarzan was a mighty fighter and a strange creature. Strange, because he had had it In his power to kill his enemy, but had allowed him to live—unharmed. That afternoon as the tribe came together, as was their wont before darkness settled on the jungle, Tarzan, his wounds washed In the limpid waters of the little stream, called the old males about him. “You have seen again today that Tarzan of the Apes Is the greatest among you,” he said. "Huh,” they replied with one voice, “Tarzan is great.” t ‘Tarzan,” he continued, 'ls not an ape. He Is not like his people. His ways are not their ways, and so Tarzan Is going back to the lair of his own kind by the waters of the great lake which has no further shore. You must choose another to rule you, for Tarzan will not return.” And thus young Lord Greystroko took the first step toward the goal which he had set—the finding of other white men like himself. CHAPTER XIII His Own Kind TANARUS" HE following morning, Tarzan, lam-3 and sore from the wounds of his battle with Terkoz, set out toward the west and the sea coast. He traveled very slowly, sleeping in the jungle at night, and reaching his cabin late the following morning. For several days he moved about but little, only enough to gather what fruit and nuts he required to satisfy the demands of hunger. In ten days he was quite sound again, except for a terrible, halfhealed scar, which, starting above his left eye ran across the top of his head .ending at the right ear. It was the mark left by Terkoz when he had torn the scalp away. During his convalescence Tarzan tried to fashion a .mantle from the skin of Sabor, which had lain all this time in the cabin. But he found the hide had dried as stiff as board, and as he knew naught of tanning, he was forced to abandon his cherdlshed plan. Then he determined to filch what few garments he could from one of the black men of Mbonga’s village, for Tarzan of the Apes had decided to mark his evolutions from the lower orders in every possible, manner, and nothing seemed to him a more distinguishing badge of manhood than ornaments and clothing. To this end, therefore, he collected the various arm and leg ornaments he had taken from the black warriors who had succumbed to his swift and silent noose, and doomed them all after the way he had seen them worn. About his neck hung the golden chain from which depended the diamond encrusted locket of his mother, the Lady Alice. At his back was a quiver of arrows slung from a leathern shoulder belt, another piece of loot from some vanquished black. _ . About his waist was a belt of tiny strips of rawhide fashioned by himself as a support for the home-made scabbard in which hung his father’s hunting knife. The long bow which had been Kulonga’s hung over his left shoulder. The young Lord G’reystoke was indeed a strange and warlike figure, his mass of black hair falling to his shoulders behind and cut with his hunting knife to a rude bang upon his forehead, that it might not fall before his eyes. His straight and perfect figure, muscled as the best of the ancient

Roman gladiators must have been muscled, and yet with the soft and sinuous curves of a Greek god, told at a glance the wondrous combination of enormous strength with suppleness and speed. A personification, was Tarzan of the Apes, of the primitive man, the hunter, the warrior: With the noble poise of his handsome hdad upon those broad shoulders, and the fire of life and intelligence in those fine, clear eyes, he might readily have typified some demi god of a wild and warlike bygone people of his ancient forest. But of these things Tarzan did not think. He was worried because he had no clothing to indicate to all the jungle folks that he was a man and not an ape, and grave dopbt often entered his mind as to whether he might not Vet become an ape. Was not hair commencing to grow upon his face? AH the apes had hair upon theirs, but the black men were entirely hairless, with very ,few exceptions. True, he had seen pictures in his books of men with great masses of hair upon lip and 1 cheek and' chin, but, nevertheless, Tarzan was afraid. Almost daily he whetted his keen knife and scraped and whittled at his young beard to eradicate this degrading emblen\ of apehood. And so he learned to shave—ly and painfully, it is true—but, nevertheless, effectively. When he felt quite strong again, after his bloody battle with Terkoz, Tarzan set off one morning toward Mbonga's village. He was moving carelessly along a winding jungle trail, instead of making his progress through the trees, -yhen suddenly he came face to face with a black warrior. / , The look of surprise on the savage face was almost comical, and before Tarzan could unsling his bow the fellow had turned and fled down the path, crjing out in alarm as though to others before him. Tarzan took to the trees in pursuit, and in a few monents came in view of the men desperately strive ing to escape. There were three of them, and they were racing madly in single file through the dense undergrowth. Tarzan eaily distanced them, nor did they see his silent passage above their heads, nor note the crouching , figure squatted upon a low branch ahead of them beneath which the trail led them. Tarzan let the first , two pass beneath him, but as the third came swiftly on, the quiet noose dropped about the black throat. A quick jerk drew it taut.
