TARZAN 1 of THE APES By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS

BEGIN HERE After the deatl in 1890 of John 0! art on. T.ord Greystoke and his wife Lady Alice in the African junalee. their infant son. Tarzan. is reared by an ape. which placed her own dead babe in the cradle. At 18 years Tarzan has learned to read Enelieb books in his father’s cabin, but can •peak 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. Hbogna and his tribe of savages invade territory near Tarzan’s home. He keeps them alarmed with his secret pranks. A ship bearing wl te passengers anchors near by. On his cabin Tarzan posts a notice forbidding destruction of his treasures. Without revealing his identity. Tarzan saves the lives of William Cecil Clayton, •on of the then Lord Greystoke: his companion. Jane Porter, and her colored maid. Esmerelda. from death by lions. Prof. Archimedes Q. Porter. Jane s father, and his secretary. Samuel T. Philander, bury the skeletons found in the cabin and notice the tiny one Is not human. A ring on one’bears the crest of the house of Greystoae. They ascertain from this. and John Clayton’s name in his books that the bones are of Lord and Lady Greystoke. Tarzan watches mutineers of the Arrow bury a treasure chest. He secretly unearths the chest and reburies it. He steals a letter written by Jane to Hazel Strong saving her father has borrowed SIO,OOO from Robert Canler and gone in search of buried treasure. After finding it the sailors mutiny and leave her and her father’s company in Africa. She states that Clayton loves her and describes the bravery of an unknown godlike white man of the jungle. Tarzan sat in a brown study for a long: time after he finished reading the letter. It was filled with so many new and wonderful things that his brain was in a whirl as he attempted to digest the mall. So they did not know that he was Tarzan of the Apes. He would tell them. In his tree he had constructed a rude shelter of leaves and boughs, beneath which, protected from the rain, he had placed a few treasures brought from the cabin. Among these were some pencils. He took one, and beneath Jane Porter’s signature he wrote: I AM TARZAN OF THE APES. The next morning Jane Porter found her missing letter In the exact spot frlm which it had disappeared two nights before. She was mystified; but when she saw the printed words beneath her signature, she felt a cold, clammy chill run up her spine. She showed the letter, or rather the last sheet with the signature, to Clayton. "And to think," she said, “that uncanny thing was probably watching me all the time that I was writing—o! It makes me snudder just to think of it.” "But he must be friendly,” reassured Clayton, “for he has returned your letter, nor did he offer to harm you, and unless I am mistaken he left a very substantial memento of his friendship outside the cabin door last night, for I just found the carcass of a wild boar there as I came out.” Tarzan derived the greatest pleasure of his life in hunting meat for these strangers. It seemed to him that no pleasure on earth could compare with laboring for the welfare and protection of the beautiful white girl. Some day he would venture Into the camp in daylight and talk with these people through the medium of the little bugs which were familiar to them and to Tarzan. Scarcely a day passed that did not find Professor Porter straying in his preoccupied indifference tom STOMACH IS aura By as

Stay off the damp ground, avoid exposure, keep (eet dry, eat no sweets of any kind for a while, drink lots of water and, above all, take a spoonful'of Jad Salts occasionally to help keep down uric and toxlo acids. Rheumatism Is caused by poison toxins, called acids, which are generated In the bowels and absorbed Into the bfood. It Is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast It out In the urine. The pares of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this Impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and sluggish and i .11 to eliminate this poison, whi-jh keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling; In the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain, called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful In a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity, remove body waste, also to stimulate' the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons. Jad* Salts- is inexpensive and Is made from the acid, of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with Uthla, and Is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.—Advertisement. | Makes a Family Sapply § of Cough Remedy Dj S Bestir better then resdy-nmde { nj eeagh yrup, and eaves a bent ft. ru In Easily and quickly prepared. m If you combined the curative properties of every kno-vn •‘ready-made' 1 cough remedy, you probably could not get as much real curative power as there la in this simple home-made cough syrup, which is easily prepared in a few minutes. & t from any druggist ounces of i’inex, pour it into a pint bottle fnd fill the bottle with lyrup, using either plain granulated sugar syrup, clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, as desired.

ward the jaws of death. Mr. Samuel T. Philander, never what one might call robust, was worn to the shadow of a shadow through the ceaseless worry and mental distraction resultant from his Herculean efforts to safeguard the professor. A month passed. Tarzan had finally determined to visit the camp by daj'light. It was early afternoon. Clayton had wandered to thp point at the harobr’s mouth to look for passing vessels. Here he kept a great mass of wood, high piled, ready to be ignited as a signal should a steamer or a sail top the far horizon. Professor Porter was wandering along the each south bf the camp with Mr. Philander at his elbow, urging him to turn his steps‘back before the two became again the sport of some savage beast. The others gone, Jane Porter and Esmerelda had wandered into the Jungle to gather fruit, and in their search were led farther and farther from the cabin. Tarzan waited In silence before the door of the little house until they should return. His thoughts were of the beautiful white girl. They were always of her now. He wondered if she would fear him, and the thought all but caused- him to relinquish his plan. While he waited he passed the time printing a message to her; whether he Intended giving It to her he himself could not have told, but he took Infinite pleasure In seeing his thoughts expressed In print—in which he was not so uncivilized after all. He wrote:

I am Tarzan of the Apes. I want you. I am yours. You are mine. We will live here together always In my house. I will bring you the best fruits, the tenderest deer, the finest meats that roam .the Jungle. I will hunt for you. I am the greatest of the jungle hunters. I will fight for you. I am the mightiest of the jungle fighters. You are Jane Porter, I saw In your letter. When ypu see this you will know that It Is for you and that Tarzan of the Apes loves you. As he stood, straight as a young Indian, by the door, waiting after he had finished the message, there came to his keen ears a familiar sound. It was the passing of a great ape through the lower branches of the forest. For an'instant he listened Intently, and then from the jungle came the agonized scream of a woman, and Tarzan of the Apes, dropping his first love letter upon the ground, shot like a panther into the forest. Clayton, also, heard ;the scream, and Professor Porter and Mr. Philander, and in a few minutes they came panting to the cabin, calling out to each other a volley of excited questions as they approached. ’A glance within conflrme4 their worst fears. Jane Porter ahd Esmeralda were not there. Instantly, Clayton, followed by the two old men, plunged Into the Jungle, calling the girl’s name aloud. For half an hour they stumbled on, until Clayton, by merest chance, came upon the prostrate form of Esmerelda. He stooped beside her, feeling for her pulse and then listening for her heart beats. She lived. He shook her. "Esmerelda!” he shrieked in her ear. "Esmerelda! For God’s sake, where is Miss Porter? What has happened? Esmerelda!” Slowly the black opened her eyes. She saw Clayton. Shtf saw the Jungle about her. "Oh, Gaberelle!” she screamed, and fainted again. , By this time Professor Porter and Mr. Philander had come up. “What shall we do, Mr. Clayton?” asked the old professor. “Where shall we look? God could not have been bo cruel as to take my little girl away from me now.”

"We must arouse Esmeralda first,” replied Clayton. “She can tell us what has happened. Esmerelda!” he cried again, shaking the black woman roughly by the shoulder. "O Gabrelle, Ah wants to die!” cried the poor woman, but with eyes fast closed. "Lemme die, deah Lawd, but doan lemme see date awrful face again. Whafer yo' sen de devil ’roun’ after po ole Esmerelda? She ain’t done nuffln’ to nobody, Lawd; hones’ she ain’t. She's pufflckly Indecent, Lawd; yas’m. deed she is.” “Come, come, Esmerelda,” cried Clayton. “The Lord Isn’t here; It’s Mr. Clayton. Open your eyes.” Esmerelda did as she was bade. “O Gabrelle! T'ank de Lawd,” she said. "Where’s Miss Porter? What happened?” questioned Clayton. “Ain’ Miss Jane here?” cried Esmerelda, sitting up with wonderful celerity for one of her bulk. "Oh, Lawd, now Ah ’members! It done must have tooked £er away,” and the negress „ commenced to sob, and wall her lamentations. “What took her away?” cried Professor Porter. "A great big gi’nt all covered with hair.” ”A gorilla, Esmerelda?” questioned Mr. Philander, and the three men scarcely breathed as he voiced the horrible thought. “Ah done thought it was de devil; but Ah guess It mus’ a-been one of dem gorilephants. Oh, my po baby, my po li’l honey,” and again Esmeralda broke into uncontrollable sobbing. All the balance of the day they sought through the jungle; but as night drew on they were forced to give up in despair and hopelessness, for they did not even know in what direction the thing had borne Jane Porter. It was long after dark ere they reached the cabin, and a sad and grief-stricken party it was that sat silently within the little structure. ' Professor Porter finally broke the silence. ”1 shall lie down now,” said the old man, “and try to sleep. Early tomorrow, so soon as it is light, I shall take what food I can carry and continue the search until I have found Jane. I will not return withlout her.” His did not reply at At arose and laid

his haid gently upon Professor Porter’s bent old shoulder. “I shall go with you, of course,” he said. "Do not tell me that I need even have said so.” “I kno,w that you would offer — that you would wlshto go, Mr. Clayton; but you must not. Jane is beyond human assistance now. I simply go' that I may face my Maker with her, and know, too, that what was ones my dear little girl lies not alone and friendless in the awful jungle. “No; it is I alone who may go, •for she was my daughter—all that was left on earth for me to love,” “I shall go with you,” said Clayton simply. The old man looked up, regarding the strong, handsome face of William Cecil Clayton intently. Perhaps he read there the love that lay in the heart beneath —the love for his daughter. “As you wish," he said. "You may count no me, also,” said Mr. Philander. “No, my dear old friend,” said i.Professor Porter. “We may not all go. It would be cruelly wicked to leave poor Esmeralda here alone, and three of us would be no more successful than ono. "There be enough dead things in the cruel forest as It Is.
