TARZAN, 1 of THE APES J L By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS

BEGIN HERE Aftr the deaths In 1890 of John Clayton. Lord Gieystoke and his wife. Lady Alice, in the African jungles, their infant son Tarzan (meaning white skini is reared by an ape. At 18 years he has learned to read English books in his father's cabin, but can speak only ape language. 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. Mbonga and his tribe of savages, escaping white officers. Invade territory near Tarzan s cabin. Tarzan keeps them alarmed with his secret pranks. A ship bearing white passengers anchors near by. On his cabin Tarzan posts a notice forbidding destruction of his treasures. Jane Porter and her colored maid, Esmeralda, -valt in the cabin while William Cedi Clayton, son of the then Lord Greystoke. searches for Prof. Archimedes Q. Porter, the girl s father, and his secretary. Samuel T. Philander, who are lost in the forest. Tarzan saves Clayton from the claws of a lion. GO ON WITH THE STORY Again Clayton essayed speech with the apenian; but the replies, now vocal, were In a strange tongue, which resembled the chattering of monkeys mingled with the growling of some wild beast. No, this could not be Tarzan of the Apes, for It was very evident that he was an utter stranger to English. When Tarzan had completed his repast he rose and, pointing in a very different direction from that which Clayton had been pursuing, started off through the Jungle toward the point he had indicated. Clayton, bewildered and confused, hesitated to follow him, for he thought he was but being led more deeply Into the mazes of the foreat; but the ape-man, seeing him disinclined to folow, returned, and, grasping him by the coat,, dragged him along until he was convinced that Clayton understood what was required of him. Then he left him to follow voluntarily. The Englishman, finally concluding that he Was a prisoner, saw no alternative open but to accompany his captor, and thus they traveled slowly through the Jungle while the sable mantle of the inpenetrable forest night fell about them, and the stealthy footfalls of padded paws mingled with the breaking of twigs and the wild calls of the savage life that Clayton felt closing in upon him. Suddenly Clayton heard the faint report of a firearm —a single shot, and then silence. In the cabin by the beach two thoroughly terrified women'clung to RED PEPPERS STOP BACKACHE, LUMBAGO The heat of red peppers takes the “ouch” from a sore, lame back.

each other an they crouched up&i the low bench in the gathering darkness. The negress sobbed hysterically, bemoaning the evil day that had witness her departure from her dear Maryland, while the white girl, dry-eyed and outwardly calm, was' torn by inward fears and forebodings. She feared not more for herself than for the three men whom she knew to be wandering in the abysmal depths of the savage jungle, from which she now heard issuing the almost incessant shrieks and roars, barkings and growl!ngs of its terrifying denizens as they sought their prey. , And now there came the sound of a heavy body brushing against the side of the cabin. She could hear the- great padded paws upon the ground without. Then, for an instant, all was silence; even the bedlam of the forest died to a faint murmur; then she distinctly heard the beast without sniffing at the door, not two feet from where she crouched. Instinctively, the girl shuddered and shrank closer to the black woman. "Hush!” she whispered. "Hush, Esmeralda,” for the woman's sobs and groans seemed to have attracted the thing that stalked there Just beyond the thin walL A gentle scratching sound was heard on the door. The brute tried to force an entrance; but presently this ceased, and again she heard the great pads creeping stealthily around the cabin. Again they stopped—benetath the window on which the terrified eyes of the girl now glued themselves. "God!" she murmured, for now, silhouetted against the moonlit sky beyond, she saw framed In the tiny square of the latticed window the head of a huge lioness. The gleaming eyes were fixed upon her in intert ferocity. “Look, Esmeralda!’’ she whispered. “For God’s sake, what shall we do? Look! Quick! The window!” Esmeralda, cowering still closer to her mistress, took one affrighted glance .toward the little square of moonlight. Just as the lioness emitted a low, savage snarl. The sight that met the poor black’s eyes was too much for the already overstrung nerves. “Oh, Gaberelle!” she cried, and slid to the floor an inert and senseless mass. For what seemed an eternity the great brute stood its fore paws upon the sill, glaring into the little room. Presently it tried the strength of the lattice with its great talons. The girl had almost ceased to. breathe, when, to* her relief, the head disappeared and she heard the brute’s footsteps leaving the window. But now they came to the door again, and once more the scratching commenced; this time with increasing force until the great beast was tearing at the massive panels in a perfect frenzy of eagerness ta seize Its defenseless victims. Could Jane Porter have known the lmense strength of that door, bullded piece by piece, she would have felt less fear of the lioness reaching her by this avenue. Littlfe did John Clayton imagine when he fashioned that crude but mighty portal that one day, twenty years ago, it would shield a fair American girl, then unborn, from the teeth and talons of a man-eater. For fully twenty minutes the brute alternately sniffed and tore at the door, occasionally gfving voice to a wild, savage cry of baffled rage. At length, however, she gave the attempt, and Jane Porter heard her returning toward the window, beneath which she paused for an Instant, and then launched her gyeat weight against the timeworn lattice. The girl heard the wooden rods groan beneath the impact; but they held, and the huge body dropped back to the ground below. Again and again the lioness repeated these tactics, until finally the horrified prisoner within saw a portion of the lattice give away, and in an instant one great paw and the head of the animal were thrust within the room. Slowly the powerful neck and shoulders spread the bars apart, and the little body protruded farther and farther Into the room. - As in a trance, the girl rose, her hand upon her breast, wide eyes sarin g horror-stricken Into the snarling face of the beast scarce ten feet from her. At her feet lay the prostrate form of the negress. If she could but arouse her, their combined efforts might possibly avail to beat back the fierce and blood-thirsty intruer. Jane Porter stooped to grasp the black woman by the shoulder. Roughly she shook her. “Esmeralda! Esmeralda!" she cried. "Help me, or we are lost.”, Esmeralda slowly opened her eyes. The “first object they encountered was the dripping fangs of the hungry lioness. With a horrified scream the poor woman rose to her hands and knees, and in this position scurried across the room, shrieking: “O Gaberelle! 6 Gaberelle!" at the top‘of her lungs. Esmerelda weighed some 280 pounds, which enhanced nothing the gazelle-like grace of her carriage

"With the subsidence of Esmerelda the lioness renewed her efforts to wriggle her huge bulk through the weakening lattice. The girl, standing pale and rigid against the further wall, sought with ever-increasing terror for some'loophole of escape. Suddenly her hand, tight-pressed against her bosom, felt the harcf ortline of the revolver that Clayton had left with her earlier in the day. Quickly she snatched it from its hiding-place, and, leveling it full at the liosenss’s face, pulled the trigger. There was a flash of flame, the roar of the discharge, and an answering roar of # pain and anger from the beats. a Jane Porter saw the great form disappear from the window, and then , she, too, fainted, the revolver falling at her side. But Sabor was not killed. The bullet had but Inflicted a painful wound in one of the great shoulder^.

It was the surprise at the blinding flash and the deafening roar that had caused her hasty, though but temporary, retreat. In another instant she was back at the lattice, and with renewed fury was clawing at the aperture, but with lessened effect, since the wounded member was almost useless. She saw her prey—the two women —lying senseless upon the floor, there was no., longer any resistance HL'.'i to be overcome. Her meat lay before her, and Sabor had . only to worn# her way through the lattice to claim it. Slowly she forced, her great bulk, inch by inch, through the opening. Now her head was through, now one great forearm and soulder. Carefully she drew up the wounded member to insinuate it gently beyond the tight pressing bars. A moment more and both shoulders through, the long, sinuous body -and the narrow hips would glide quickly after. It was on this sight that Jane Ported again opened her eyes. CHAPTER XV The Forest God . J HEN Clayton heard the reYY/ port of the firearm he fell into an agony "of fear and apprehension. He knew that one of the sailors might be the author of it; but the fact that he had left the revolver with Jfijie porter, together with the overwrought condition of his nerves, made him morbidly positive that she was threatened with some great danger; perhaps even now attempting to defend herself against some savage man or beast. What were the thoughts of his strange captor or guide Clayton could only vaguely conjecture; but that he had heard the shot, and was in some manner affected by it was quite evident, for he quickened his pace so appreciably that Clayton, stumbling blindly in his wake, was down a dozen times in as many minutes in a yain effort to keep pace with him! and soon was left hopelessly behind. Fearing that he would again be irretrievably lost, he called aloud to the wild man ahead of him, and in a moment had the satisfaction of seeing him drop lightly to his side from the branches above. For a 'moment Tarzan looked at the young man closely, as though undecided as to just what was best to do; then, stooping down before Clayton, e motioned him to grasp him about the*>ne*, and with the

took to the trees. The next few minutes were such as the young Englishman never forgoJJ. High into bending and swaying branches he was borne with what seemed to him Incredible switness, while Tarzan chafed at the slowness of his progress. From one lofty branch the agile creature swung with Clayton through a dizzy arc to a neighboring tree; then for a hundred yards maybe the sure feet threaded a maze of interwoven limbs, balancing like a tightrope walker high above the black depths of verdure beneath. From the first sensation of chilling fear Clayton passed to one of keen admiration and envy of those giant muscles and that wondrous instinct or knowledge which guided this forest god through the inky blackness of the night as easily and safely as Clayton could have strolled a London street at high noon. Occasionally they would enter a spot where the foliage above was less dense, and the bright rays of the moon lit up before Clayton’s wondering eyes the strange path they were traversing. At such times the man fairly caught his breath at sight, of the horrid depths below them, for Tartan took the easiest way, 'which often Jed over a hundred feet above the earth. And yet with all his seeming speed, Tarzan was in reality feeling his waj? with comparative slowness, searching constantly for limbs of adequate strength for the maintenance of this double weight Copyright, A.
