CHAPTER XJX The Call of the Primitive From the time Tarzan left the tribe of great anthropoids In which he had been raised, it was torn by continual strife and discord. Terkoz rvved a cruel and capricious king, so that, one by one, many of the older and weaker apes, upon whom he was particularly prone to vent hig brutish nature, took their families and sought the quiet and safety of the far Interior. But at last those who remained were driven to desperation by the continued truculence of Terkoz, and It so happened that one of them recalled the parting admonition of Tarzan: “If you have a chief who la cruel, do not aa the other apes do, and attempt, any one of you to pit yourself against him alone. But, Instead, let two or three or four of you attack him together. Then, If you will do this, no chief will dare to I>e other than he should be, for four (,f you can kill any chief who may ever be over you.” - And the ape who recalled this wise ounsel repeated it to several of his fellows, so that when Terkoz ret urned to the tribe that day he found a warm reception awaiting him. There were no formalities. As Terkoz .reached the group, five huge.

Mr. John B. Hill, Indianapolis, Ind., Rooming House Proprietor, Regains Steady Nerves Through Use of Todd’s Tonic.

My nerves were raw and “edgy” .1 when I went to bed they wouldn't relax for several hours, ■nsequently I lost sleejf that I eeded badly. My entire system was rn down. My stomach was out of rder and my food disagreed with -ne. After eating, it was all I could i to retain my food. Almost in operation over my condition of ealth I consulted a druggist—a very iso friend. “John, why don’t you ry Todd’s Tonic—it’s exactly suited > your case," he said to me. I did

hairy beasts sprang upon him. At heart hie was an arrant coward, which is the way with bullies among apes as well as among men; so he did not remain to fight and dia, but tore himself away from them as quickly as he could and fled Into the sheltering boughs of the forest. Two more attempts he made. to rejoin the tribe, but on each occasion he was set upon and driven away. At last he gave it up, and turned, foaming with rage and hatred, into the Jungle. For several days he wandered aimlessly, nursing his spite and looking for some weak things on which to vent his pent anger. It was in this state of mind that the horrible, man-like beast, swinging from tree to tree, came suddenly upon two women in the Jungle. He was right above them when he discovered them. The first Intimation Jane Porter had of his presence was when the great hairy body dropped to the earth beside her, and she saw the awful face and the snarling, hideous mouth thrust within a foot of her. One piercing scream escaped her lips as the brute hand clutched her arm. Then she was dragged toward those awful fangs which yawned at her throat. But ell they touched that fair skin another mood claimed the anthropoid. The tribe had kept his women. He must find others to replace them. This hairless white ape would be the first of his new household, and so he threw her roughly across his broad, hairy shoulders and leaped back Into the trees, bearing Jane Porter away toward a fate a thousand times worse than death. , But Jane Porter did not once lose consciousness. It is true that that awful face, pressing close to hers, and the stench of the foul breath paralyzed her with terror; but her brain was clear, and she comprehended all that transpired. With what seemed to her marvelous rapidity bore her through the forc9Pbut still she did not cry out or struggle. The sudden. advent of the ape had confusedher to such an extent that she thought now that he was bearing her toward the beach. For this reason she conserved her energies and her voice until she could see that they had approached near enough to the camp attract th 6 attention she craved. Poor child! Could she but have known it, she was being J>orn farther and farther into the impenetrable jungle. The scream that had brought Clayton and the two older men stumbling through the undergrowth had led,Tarzan of the Apes straight to whdre Esmeralda lay*, but It was not Esmeralda In whom his interest centered, though pausing over her he saw that she was unhurt. For a moment he scrutinized the ground below and the treees above, until the ape that was in him by virtue of training and environment, combined with the intelligence that was his by right of birth, told his wondrous woodcraft the whole story as plainly as though he had seen the thing happen with his own eyes. And then he was gone again in*o the swaying trees, following the high-flung spoor which no other human eye could have detected, much lass translated. Almost silently the ape-man sped on In the track of Terkoz and his prey, but the sound of his approach reached the ears of the fleeing beast and spurred it on to greater speed. Thr e miles were covered before Tarzan overtook them, and then Terkoz, seeing that further flight was futile, dropped to'the ground In' a small open glade, that he might turn and fight for his prize, or be free to escape unhampered if he saw that the pursuer was more than a match for him. He still grasped Jane Porter In one great arm as Tarzan bounded like a leopard into the arena which nature had provided for tMp prlrieval-llke battle. When Terkoz saw that it was Tarzan who pursued him, he Jumped to the conclusion that this was Tarzan’s woman, since they were of the same kind—white and hairless—and so he rejoiced at this opportunity for double revenge upon his hated enemy. To Jane Porter the strange apparition of this god-like man was as wine to sick nerves. t From t£e description which- Clayton and her father sjid Mr. Philander had given her, she knew that It must be the same wonderful creature who had saved them, and she saw Flappec Fanny You’D Adore Her Watch The limes

in him only a protector and a friend. But as Terkoz pushed her roughly aside to meet Tarzan's charge, and she saw the great proportions of the ape and the mighty muscles and the fierce fangs, her heart quailed. How could any animal vanquish such a mighty antagonist? Like two charging bulls they came together, and like two wolves sought each other’s throat. Against the long canines of the ape was pitted the thin blade of the man’s knife. Jane Porter—her lithe, young form flattened against the trunk of a great tree, her hands tight pressed against her rising and falling bosom, and her eyes wjde with mingled horror, fascination, fear, and admiration—watched the primordial ape battle with the primeval man for possession of a woman—for her. As the great muscles of the man’s back and shoulders knotted beneath the tension of his efforts, and the huge bioeps and forearm held at bay those mighty tusks, the Veil of centuries of civilization and culture was swept from the blurred vision of the Baltimore girl. When the long knife drank deep a dozen times of Terkoz’ heart's blood, and the great carcass rolled lifeless upon the ground, it was a primeval woman who sprang forward with outstretched arms toward the primeval*man who had fought for her and won"* her. And Tarzan? He did wh&t no red-blooded man needs lessons in doing. He took his woman in his arms and smothered her upturned, panting lips with kisses. For a moment Jane Porter lay there with half-closed eyes. For a moment—the first In her young life —she knew the meaning of love. But as suddenly as the veil had been withdrawn it dropped again, and an outraged conscious suffused her face with its scarlet mantle, and a mortified woman thrust Tarzan of the Apes from her and burled her face in her hands. Tarzan had been surprised when he had found the girl he had learned to love after a vague and abstract mannerV a willing prisoner in his arms. Now he was surprised that she repulsed him. He came close to her once more and took hold of her arm. She turned upon him like a tigress, strikr s Watch £,l i aHMr e;

ing his great breast with her tiny hands. Tarzan could not understand it. A moment ago and it had been his intention to hasten Jane Porter back to her people, but that little moment was lost now in the dim and distant past jf things which were but can never be again, and with it the good intention had gone to join the Impossible. S|nce then Tarzan of the Apes had Telt a warm, lithe form close pressed to his. Hot, sweet breath against his cheek and mouth had fanned anew lame to life within his breast, and perfect lips had clung to his in burning kisses that had seared a deep brand into his soul —a brand which marked anew Tarzan. Again he laid his hand upon her arm. Again she repulsed him. And then Tarzan of the Apes did just what his first ancestor would have done. He took his woman In his arms and carried her into the Jungle. Copyright, A. C. McClurg & Cos., 1914.
