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 k British post in Africa. During: mutiny all officers on the Fuwalda are killed and the Claytons are landed on isolated jungle shoes. A year after their son is horn. Lady Alice dies. Clayton is killed by an ape. A mother ape steals the Clayton child and drops her own dead babe in the cradle. She nurses the white child* and at 10 years Tarzan (meaning white skin) ellmbe like an ape. He gains access to the Clayton nut and from pictures in a child’s primer learns that he is 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’s home. He strangles Kulonza. son of Mbonga, their king. Tarzan kcepes the savages alarmed with his secret pranks. Tarzan renounces kingship of the apes, and dons ornaments of vanquished savages. GO ON WITH THE STORY Tarzan dispatched his prisoner quickly and silently; removed the weapons and ornaments, and—oh, the greatest Joy of all--a handsome doeskin breechcloth, which he quickly transferred to his own person. Now indeed was he dressed as a man should be. None there was who could now doubt hia high origin. How he should liked to have Returned to the tribe to parade before their envious gaze this wondrous finery. Taking the body across his shoulder, he moved more slowly through the trees toward the little palisaded village, for he again needed arrows. As he approached quite close to the lnclosure he saw an excited group surrounding the two fugitives, who, trembling with fright and exhaustion, were scarce able to recount the uncanny details of their adventure. Mirando, they said, who had been ahead of them a short distance, had suddenly come screaming toward them, crying that a terrible white and naked warrior was pursuing him. The three of them had hurried toward the village as rapidly as their legs would carry them. Again Mirando’s shrill cry of mortal terror had caused them to looK back, and there they had seen the most horrible sight—their companion’s body flying upwards into the trees, his arms and legs beating the air and his tongue protruding from his open mouth. No other sound did he utter nor was there any creature in sight about him. The villagers were worked up into a state of fear bordering on panic, but twice old Mbonga affected to feel considerable skepticism regarding the tale, and attributed the tohole fabrication to their fright In the face of some real danger. “You tell us this great story,” he COLDSTHAT (DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious rouble. You can stop them now with Creomnlsion, an emulsified creosote that Is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is anew medical discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heals the Inflamed membranes and kills the germ.

said, '‘because you do not dare to speak the truth. You do not dare admit that when the lion sprang upon Mirando you ran away and left him. You are cowards.” Scarcely had Mbonga ceased speaking when a great crashing of branches in the trees above them caused the blacks.to look up in renewed terror. The sight that met their eyes made even wise old Mbonga shudder, for there, turning and twisting in the air, came the dead body of Mirando, to sprawl with a sickening reverberation upon the ground at their feet. With one accord the blacks took to their heels; nor did they stop until the last of them was lost In the dense shadows of the surrounding Jungle. Again Tarzan came down into the village and renewed his supply of arrows, and ate of the offering of food which the blacks had made to appease his wrath. Before he left he carried the body of Mirando to the gate of the village, and propped it up against the palisade In such a way that the dead face seemed to be peering around the edge of the gate-post down the path which led to the jungle. Then Tarzan returned, hunting, always hunting, to the cabin, by the beach. It took a dozen attempts on the part of the thoroughly frightened blacks to re-enter their village, past the horrible, grinning face of their dead fellow, and when they found the food and arrows gone they knew, what they had only too well feared, that Mirando had seen the evil spirit of the Jungle. That now Beamed to them the logical explanation. Only those who saw this terrible god of the Jungle died; f<Jr was it not true that none left allvd'ln the village had ever seen him? Therefore, those who had died at his hands must have seen him and paid the penalty with their lives. As long as they supplied him with arrows and food he would not harm them unless they looked upon him, so It was -ordered by Mbonga that In addition-to the food offering there should also be laid out an offering of arrows for this Munango-Keewflitl, and this was done from then on. If you ever chance to pass that tax off African village you will still see before a tiny thatched hut, built Just without the village, a little Iron pot in which is a quantity of food, and beside it a quiver of welldaubed arrows. When Tarzan came In sight of the beach where stood his cabin, a strange and unusual spectacle met his vision. On the placid waters of the landlocked harbor floated a great ship, and on the beach a small boat was drawn up. But, most wonderful of all, a num- ■ ber of white men like himself were moving about between the beach and his cabin. Tarzan saw that in many ways they were like the men of his picture books. He crept closer through the trees until he was quite close above them. There were ten men. Swarthy, sun-tanned, villainous looking fellows. Now they had congregated by the boat and were talking in loud, angry tones, with much gesticulating and shaking of fists H Presently one of them, a little, mean-faced, black-beared fellow with a countenance which reminded Tarzan of Pamba, the rat, laid his hand upon the shoulder of a giant who stood next him, and with whom all the others had been arguing and quarreling. The little man pointed inland, so that the giant was forced to turn away from the others to look in the direction indicated. As he turned, the little, mean-faced man drew 'a revolver from his belt and shot the giant in the back. The big fellow throw his hands above his head, his knees bent beneath him, and without a sound he tumbled forward upon the beach, dead. The report of the weapon, the

first that Tarzan had ever heard, filled him with wonderment, but even this unaccustomed sound could not startle hla healthy nerves Into even a semblance of panic. The conduct of the white strangers it was that caused him the greatest perturbation. He puckered his brows into a frown of deep thought. It was well, thought he, that he had not given way to his first Impulse to rufch forward and greet these men as brother:?. They were evidently no different from the black men—no more civilized than the apes—no less cruel than Sabor. For a moment the others stood looking at (the little, mean-faoed man and the giant lying dead upon the beach. Then one qf them laughed and slapped the little man upon the back. There was much more talk and gesticulating, but less quarreling. Presently they launched the boat and all jumped into it and rowed away toward the great ship, where Tarzan, could see other figures moving about upon the deck. When they had clambered aboard, Tarzan dropped to earth- behind a great tree and crept to his cabin, keeping it always between himself and the ship. Slipping In at the door he found that everything had been ransacked. His books and pencils strewed the floor. His weapons and shields and other little store of treasures were littered about. As he saw what he had done a great wave of anger surged through him, and the new made scar upon his forehead stood suddenly out, a bar of Inflamed crimson against his tawny hide. Quickly he ran to the cupboard and searched In the far recess of the lower shelf. Ah! He breathed a sigh of relief as he drew out the little tin box, and, opening It, found his greatest treasurers undisturbed. The photograph of the smiling, strong-faced young man, and the little bladk puzzle book were safe. What was that? His quick ear had caught a faint but unfamiliar sound. Running to the window Tarzan looked toward the harbor, and thef-e he saw that a boat was being lowered from the great ship beside the one already In the water. Soon he saw many people clambering over the sides of the larger vessel and dropping into the boats. They were coming back in full force. For a moment longer Tarzan watched while a number of boxes and bujpdtes were lowered into the

waiting boats, then, as they shoved off from the ship’s side, the ape-man snatched up a piece of paper, and with a pencil printed on it for a few moments until it bore several lines of strong, well made, almost letter-perfect characters. This notice he stuck upon the door with a small sharp splinter of wood. Then gathering up his precious tin box, his arrows, and as many bows and spears as he could carry, he hastened through the door and disappeared into the forest. When the two boats were beached upon the silvery sand it was a strange assortment of humanity that climbed ashore. Some twenty souls in all there were, If the fifteen rough and villainous appearing seamep could have been said to possess that Immortal spark, since they were, forsooth, a most filthy and bloodthirsty looking aggregation. The others of the party were of different stamp. One was an elderly man, with white hair and large rimmed spectacles. His slightly stooped shoulders were draped in an 111-fltting, though immaculate, frock-coat; a shiny silk hat added to the Incongruity of his garb in an African jungle. The second member of the party to land was a tall young man in white ducks, While directly behind came another elderly man with a very high forehead and a fussy, ex citable manner. - • After these came a huge negress clothed like Solomon as to colors. Her great eyes rolling In evident terror first toward the Jungle and then toward the cursing band of Bailors who were removing the bales and boxes from the boats. The last member of the party to disembark was a girl of about 19, and It was the young man who stood at the boat’s bow to lift her high and dry upon land. She gave him a brave and pretty smile of thanks, but no words passed between them. In silence the party advanced toward the cabin. It was evident that whatever their Intentions, all had been decided upon before they left the ship; and so they came to the door, the sailors carrying the boxes and.bales, followed by the five who were of so different a class. The men put down their burdens and then one caught sight of the notice which Tarzan had posted. “Ho, mates!" he cried. "What’s here? This sign was not posted, an hour ago or I’ll eat the cook." i The others gathered about, cran

those before them, but as few of them could read at alj, and then only after the most laborious fashion, one finally turned to the little old man of the top hat and frock-coat. "HI, perfesser," he called, "step for’rd and read the bloomin’ notis." Thus addressed, the old man came slowly to where the sailors stood, followed by the other members of his party. Adjusting his spectacles he looked for a moment at the placard and then, turning away, strolled off muttering to himself: “Most remarkable—most remarkable!" “HI, old fossil,” cried the man who had first called on him for assistance, “did je think we wantetd of you to read the bloomin’ notis to yourself? Come back here and read it out loud, you old barnacle'." The old man stopped and, turning back said: "Oh, yes, my dear sir, a thousand pardons. It was quite thoughtless of me, yes —very thoughtless. Most remarkable —most remarkable!” Again he faced the notice and read It through, and doubtless would have turned off again to ruminate upon It had not the sailor grasped him roughly by the collar and howled into his ear. “Read It out loud, you blistering, old Idiot.” "Ah, yes indeed, yes indeed," replied the professor softly, and adjusting his spectacles once more he read aloud: \ THIS IS THE HOUSE OF TARZAN, THE KILLER OF BEASTS AND MANY BLACK MEJf.
