1 of THE APES By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS

BEGIN HERE May. IPBB. John Clayton. lord Greystoke,. and Lady Alice Rutherford. his wife, sail from Dover for a British post In Africa. During mutiny all officers on the Fuwalaa are killed and the Claytons are landed on isolated jungle shores. A year alter their son is born. 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) climbs like an ape. He grains access to the Clayton hut and from picture# 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 Engrlish. 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. Savagres escaping l white officers invade territory near Tarzan’s home. He strangles Kulo.rza. son of Mbong-a, their lung. Tarzan keeps the savages a'armed with his secret pranks. He renounces kingship of the apes, and dona ornaments of vanquished savages. A ship anchors near Tarzan's home. On his cabin Tarzan poets t, notice forbidding destruction of his treasures. When Snipes, a sailor, attempts to shoot William Cecil Clayton, son of the then Lord Greystoke, Tarzan. unseen throws a spear at him from a tree. Jane Porter and her coloied maid. Esmeralda, wait in the cabin while Clayton searchei for Prof. Archimedes Q. Porter, her father, and his secretary, who are lost In the forest. CHAPTER XIV At the Mercy of the Jangle * After Clayton had plunged Into the Jungle, the sailors —mutineers of the Arrow—fell into a discussion of their next step; but on jne point all were agreed—that' they should hasten to put off to the anchored Arrow, where they could at least be safe from the spears of their unseen foe. And so, while Jane Porter and Esmerelda were barricading themselves within the cabin, the cowardly crew of cutthroats were pulling rapidly for their ship in the two boats that had brought them ashore. Bo much had Tarzan seen that day that his head was In a whirl of wonder. But the most wonderful sight of all, to him, was the face of tho beautiful white girl. Here at last was one of his own kind; of that he was positive. And the young man and the two old men, they, too, were much as he had pictured his own people to be. But doubtless they were as ferocious and cruel as other men he had seen. The fact that they alone of all the''party were unarmed might account for the fact that they had killed no one. They might De very different if provided with weapons. Tarzan had seen the young man

How to Make Pine j Cough Syrup at Home j Km m equal for prompt result*. 1 Takes bat a moment to prepare, l and saves 70a about It. j Pino Is used In nearly all prescriptions and remedies for coughs. The reason is that pine contains several elements that have a remarkable effect In soothing and healing the membranes of the throat and chest. Pine cough syrups are combinations of pine and syrup. The “syrup” part is usually plain sugar syrup. To make the best pine cough remedy that money can buy, put 2% ounces of Pinex in a pint bottle, and fill up with home-made sugar syrup. Or you can use clarified molasses, honey, or com syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, you make a full pint—more than you can buy ready-made for three times the money. It is pure, good and tastes very pleasant. You can feel this take hold of a congh or cold in a way that means Jmslness. The cough may be dry, agarse and tight, or may be perslstentyfcloose from the formation of phlegm. Tn*£ause is the same—inflamed mem-branthp-and this Pinex and Syrup combination will stop it—usually in 24 hours or leap. Splendid, too, for hoarseness, or any ordinary throat ailPinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, and is famous the world over for its prompt effect ufren coughs. Beware of substitutes. Ask your druggist for “2% ounces of Pinex” with directions, and don’t accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or money refunded. The Pinex Cos., Ft.

pick up the fallen revolver of the woundd Snipes and hide it away In his breast; and he had also seen him slip it cautiously to the girl as she entered the cabin door. He did not understand anything of the motives behind all that he had seen; but, somehow, intuitively he liked the young man and the two old men, and for the girl he had a strange longing which he scarcely understood. As for the big black woman, she was evidently connected in some way to the girl, and so he liked her, also. For the sailors, and especially Snipes, he had developed a great hatred. He knew by their threatening gestures and by*the expressions upon their evil faces that they were enemies of the others of the party, and so he decided to watch them closely. Tarzan wondered why the men had gone Into the jungle, nor did it ever occur to him that one could become lost In that maze of undergrowth which to him was as simple as is the main street of your own home town to you. When he saw the sailors row away toward the ship, and knew that the girl and her companion were safe in MS cabin, Tarzan decided to follow the young man into the jungle and learn what'his errand might be. He swung off rapidly in the direction taken by Clayton, and in a short time heard faintly in the distance the now only occasional calls of the Englishman to his friends. Presently 1 Tarzan came up with the white man, who, almost fagged, was leaning against a tree wiping the perspiration from his forehead. The ape-man, hiding safe behind a screen of foliage, s&t watching this new specimen of his own race intently. At Intervals Clayton called aloud and Anally It came to Tarzan that he a searching for the old man. Tarzan was on the point of going ofT to look for them himself, when he caught the yollew glint of a sleek hide moving cautiously through the jungle toward Clayton. It was Sheeta, the leopard. Now, Tarzan heard the soft bending of grasses and wondered why the young white man was not warned. Could it be he had failed to note the loud warning? Never before had Tarzan known Sheeta to be so clumsy. No, the white man did not hear. Sheeta was crouching for the spring, and then, shrill and horrible, there rose upon the stillness of the jungle the awful cry of the challenging ape, and Sheeta turned, crashing into the underbrush. Clayton came to his feet with a start. His blood ran cold. Never In all his life had so fearful a sound smote upon his ears. He was no coward; but if ever man felt the icy Angers of fear upon his heart, William Cecil Clayton, eldest son of Lord Greystoke of England, did that day in the fastness of the African jungle. The noise of some great body crashing through the underbrush so close beside him, and the sound of that blood-curdling shiek from above, tested Clayton’s courage to the limit; but he could not know that It was to that very voice he owed his life, nor that the creature who hurled it forth was his own cousin —the real Lord Greystoks. The afternoon was Ara Vin g to a close, and Clayton, disheartened and discouraged, was in a terrible quandary as to the proper course to pursue; whether to keep on in search of Professor Porter, at the almost certain risk of his own death in the jungle by night, or to return to tho cabin where he might at least serve to protect Jane Porter from the perils which confronted her on all sides. He disliked to return to camp without her father; still more, he shrank from the thought of leaving her alone and unprotected In the hands of the mutineers of the arrow, or to the hundred unknown dangers of the jungle. Possibly, too, he thought, ere this the professor and Philander had returned to camp. Yes, that was more than likely. At least he would return and see, before he continued what bade fare to be a most fruitless quest. And bo he started, stumbling back through the thick and matted underbrush In the directipn that he thought the cabin lay. To Tarzan's surprise the young man was heading farther Into the jungle in the general direction of Mbonga’s village, and the shrewd young ape-man was convinced that he was lost. To Tarzan this was scarcely comprehensible; but his judgment told him that no man would venture toward the village of the cruel blacks armed only with a spear which, from the awkward way in which he carried It, was evidently an unaccustomed weapon to this white man. Nor was he following the trail of the old men. Thafc they had crossed and left long since, thought it had been fresh and plain before Tarzan’s

headache (when due to bowel inaction), a single spoonful of Adlerika often produces surprising and gratifying results. In cases or obstinate constipation or atomach trouble, if Adlerika does not bring relief in 34 to 36 hours the advice of a reputable physician should be secured. Reports from Physician* “I congratulate you on the gbod effect from Adlerika since I prescribed it.” (Signed) Dr. L. Langlois. “Adlerika is the best in my entire 37 years’ experience.”* (Signed) Dr. G. Eggers. “I prescribed Adlerika with highly satisfactory results.” (Signed) Dr. A. C C.

eyes. Tarzan was perplexed. The fierce jungle would make easy prey of this unprotected stranger In a very short time if he were not guided quickly to the beach. Yes, there vas Numa, the lion, even now, stalking the white man a dozen paces to the right. Clayton heard the great body paralleling his course, and now there rose upon the evening air the beast’s thunderous roar. The man stopped with upraised spear and faced the brush from which issued the awful sound. The shadows were deepening, darkness was settling in. God! To die here alone, beneath the fangs of wild beasts; to be torn and rended; to feel the hot breath of the brute on his face as the gzaat paw crushed down upon his breast! For a moment all yas still. Clayton stood rigid, with raised spear. Presently a faint rustling of the bush apprised him of the stealthy creeping of the thing behind. It was gathering for the spring. At last he saw it, not twenty feet away —the long, lithe, muscular body and awny head of a huge black-maned lion. The beast was upon its belly, moving forward very slowly. As its eyes met Clayton’s it stopped, and deliberately, cautiously gathered its hind quarters beneath it. In agony the man watched; feared to launch his spear; powerless to fly. He heard a noise in the tree above him. Some new danger, he thought, but he dared not take his from the yellow green orbs before him. There was a sharp twang as of a broken banjo-etring, anfl at the same instant an arrow appeared in thy yellow hide of the crouhching lion. "With a roar of pain and anger the beast sprang; but, somehow, Clayton stumbled to one side, and as he turned again to face the infuriated king of beasts, he was appalled at the sight which confronted him. Almost simultaneously with the Hop’s turning to renew the atack a naked giant dropped from the tree above squarely on the brute's back. With Ughtnlng speed an arm that was banded layers of iron muscle encircled the huge neck, and the great beast was raised from behind, roaring and pawing the air—raised as easily as Clayton would have lifted a pet dog. The scene he witnessed there In the twiUght depths of the African jungle was burned forever into the EngUshman’s brain. The man before him Iras the embodiment of physical perfection and giant strength, yet it wma not upon these he depended in hLabattie with the great cat, for ,mlg*y as were

his muscles, they were as nothing by comparison with Numa’s. To bis agility, to his brain and to his long, keen knife he owed his supremacy. His . right arm encircled the Uon’s neck, while the left hand plunged the knife time and again Into theunprotected side behind the left shoulder. The infuriated beast, pulled up and backward until he stood upon his hind legs, struggled lmpotently in this unnatural position. Had the battle been of a few seconds’ longer duration the .outcome might have been different, but it %as all Accomplished so quickly that the lion had scarce time to recover from the confusion of Its surprise ere it sank Useless to "the ground. Then the strange figure which had vanquished it stood erect upon the carcass, and, throwing back the wild and handsome head, gave out the fearsome cry which a few moments earUer had so Btartled Clayton. Before him he saw the figure of a_ young man, naked except for a loin cloth and a few barbaric ornaments about arms and legs; on the breast a priceless diamond locket gleaming against a smooth brown skin. The hunting knife had been returned to Its homely sheath, and the man was gathering up his bow and quiver from where he had tossed them when he leaped to attack the' <#• Clayton spoke to the stranger In English, thanking him for his brave rescue and compUmenting him on the wondrous strength and dexterity he had displayed, but the only answer was a steady stare and a faint shrug of the mighty shoulders, which might betoken either disparagement of the service rendered, or ignorance of Clayton's language. "When the bow and quiver had been slung to**hls back the wild man, for such Clayton now thought him, once more drew his knife and deftly carved a dozen large strips of mept from the lion’s carcass. Then, squatting upon his haunches, he proceeded to eat, first motioning Clayton to Join him. The strong white teeth sank Into the raw and dripping flesh In apparent relish of the meal, but Clayton could not bring himself to share the uncooked meat with his strange host; Instead he watched him, and presently there dawned upon him the conv.ctlon that this was Tarzan of the Apes, whose notice he had seen posted upon the cabin door that morning. If so he must speak English. Copyright, A- C. McCSurg & Cos., 1914. (Continued in Not Usne)
