TARZANBI 1 of THE APES By EDGAR RICE -BURROUGHS /

BEGIN HERE After the death in 1890 of John Clayton, Lord Greyßtoke. and hi* wila. Lady Alice, in the African Jungle®, a mother ape steals their Infant son Tarzan. and drops her own dead babe In the cradle. At 18 years Tan an 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 hit strange life. Mbonga and his tribe of savages invade territory near Tarzan’s home. A ship bearing white passengers anchors near-by. Tarzan saves the lives of 'William Cecil Clayton, son of the then lord Greystoke: hi* companion. Jane Porter, and her colored maid. Esmeralda. Prof. Archimedes Q. Porter. Jane’s father, ar.d his secretary. Samuel TANARUS, Philander, bury the skeletons found in the cabin and notice the tiny one is not human. They ascertain irom a crest ring and John Clayton’s in his books that the bones are of Zord and Lady Greystoke. Tarzan wxtcH-is mutineers of the Arrow bury a treasure chest. He secretly unearth i and reburies it. He steals a lettei written by Jane to Hazel Strong ■ her father has borrowed $lO,000 from Robert Canler and -gone in search of burled treasure. After finding it the sailors mutiny and leave Jane and her father in Africa. TarBan leaves a love note for Jane, but ehe is stolen bv Terkoz. an ape. before finding it. When Tarzan kills the ape to save Jane, she embraces him ardently, but on second thought repluses him. so he carries her forcibly into the Jungle. A party seaich for her.

Early the following morning the four within the little cabin by the beach were awakened by the booming of a cannon. Clayton was the first to rush out, and there, beyond the harbor’s mouth, he saw two vessels lying at anchor. One was the Arrow and* the other a small French cruiser. The sides of the latter were crowded with men gazing shoreward, and it was evident to Clayton, as to the others who had now joined him, that the gun which they had heard had been fired to attract their attention if they still remained at the cabin. Both vessels lay at a considerable distance from shore, and it was doubtful if their glasses would locate the waving hats of the little party far in between the harbor’s points. Esmeralda had removed her red apron and was waving it frantically above her head, but Claytoh, still fearing that even this might not be 6een, hurried off toward the northern point where lay his signal pyre ready for the match. As he broke from the dense wood and came in sight of the vessels again, he was filled with consternation to see that the Arrow was making sail and that the cruiser was already under way. QuickC lighting the pyre in a dozen places, he hurried to the extreme point of the promontory, where he stripped off his shirt, and, tying it to a fallen branch, stood waving it back and forth above him. Precently Clayton saw the two ships come about again; and while the Arrow lay drifting quietly on the ocean, the cruiser steamed slowly back toward shore. At some distance away she stopped and a boat was lowered and dispatched toward the beach. As it was drawn up a young officer stepped out. “Monsieur Clayton, I presume?” he asked. “Thank God, you have comer 1 was Clayton's reply. “And it may be that It is not too late even now.”

WASH YOUR KIDNEYS BY DRIB WATER F)ush your kidneys by drinking a quart of water each day, also take salts occasionally, says a noted authority, who tells us that too much rich food forms acids which almost paralyze the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. To help neutralize these irritating acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body’s urinous waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here. Take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days, and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made frcm the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithla, and has been used for years to Ijelp flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not injure and makes a delightful effervescent lithla-water drink. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year. —Advertisement. %

“What do you mean, Monsieur?” asked the officer. Clayton told of the abduction of Jane Porter and the need of armed men to aid in the search for her. “Mon Dieu!” exclaimed the offidfcr, sadly. “Yesterday and it would not have been too late. Today and it may be better that the poor lady were never found. It Is horrible, Monsieur. It is too horrible.” Other boats had now put off from tlje cruiser, and Clayton, having pointed out the harbor’s entrance to the officer, entered the boat with him an<! its nose was turned toward the little land-locked bay, Into which the other craft followed. Soon the entire party had landed where stood Professor Porter, Mr. Philander and the weeping Esmeralda. Among the officers In the last boats to put off from the cruiser was the commander of the vessel; and when he had heard the story ot t Jane Porter’s abduction, he generously called for volunteers to accompany Professor Porter and Clayton In their search. The commander selected twenty men and two, officers, Lieutenant d’Arnot and Lieutenant Charpentier, A boat was dispatched to the cruiser for provisions, ammunition, and carbines; the men r.ere already armed with revolvers. Then, to Clayton’s inquiries as to how they had happened to anchor off shore and fire a signal gun, the commander, Captain Dufranne, explained that a month' before they had sighted the Arrow bearing southwest under considerable canvas, and that when they had signaled her to come about she had but crowded or more siil.

They had kept her hull-up until sunset, firing several shots after her, but the next morning she was nowhere to be seen. They had then continued to cruise up and down the coast for several weeks, and had about forgotten the Incident of the recent chase, when, early one mom ing a few days before, the lookout had descried a vessel laboring in the trough of a heavy sea and evidently entirely from under control. As they steamed nearer to the derelict they were surprised to note that it was the same vessel that had run from them a few weeks earliei\ Her fore-stay-sall and mizzen-spank-er were set as though an effort had been made to hold her head up into the wind, but the sheets had parted, and the sails were rearing to ribbons in the half gale cf wind. In the high sea that was running it was a difficult and dangerous task to attempt to put a prize crew aboard her; and as no signs of life had been seen above deck, it was decided to stand by until the wind and sea abated; but just then a figure was seen clinging to the rail and feebly waving a mute signal of despair toward them. Immediately - a boat’s crew was ordered out and an attempt was successfully made to board the Arrow. The sight that met the Frenchmen’s eyes* as they clambered over the ship’s side was appalling. A dozen dead and dying men rolled hither and thither upon the pitching deck, the living intermingled with the dead. It did not take the French officer long to learn what had caused the terrible condition aboard; for when water and brandy were sought to restore the men, it was found that not only was there not any of either, but not a vestige of food of any description.

When restoratives had been applied several of the men regained consciousness, and then the whole story was told. That part of it we know up to the sailing of the Arrow after the murder of Snipes, and the burial of his body pbove the treasure chest. It seems that the pursuit by the cruiser had so terrorized the mutineers that they had continued out across the Atlantic for several days after losing her; but on discovering the meager supply of water and provisions aboard, they had turned back toward the east. When those who could had recovered, the entire story had been told to the French commander, but the men were too ignorant to be able to tell him at Just what point on the coast the professor and his party had been marooned, so the cruiser had steamed slowly along within sight of land, firing occasional signal guns and scanning every inch of the beach with glasses. They had anchored by night so as not to neglect a particle of the shore line, and it had happened that the preceding night had brought them off the very beach where lay the little camp they sought. The signal guns of the afternoon before had not been heard by those on shore, it was presumed, because they had doubtless been in the thick of the jungle searching for Jane Porter, where the noise of their own crashing through the underbrush would have drowned the report of a far distant gun. By the time the two parties had narrated their several adventures, the cruiser’s boat had returned with supplies and arms for the expedition. Within a few minutes the little body of sailors and the two French officers, together with Professor Porter and Clayton, set off upon their hopeless and ill-fated quest into the untracked jungle.

CHAPTER XX Heredity When Jane Porter realized that she was being borne away a captive by the strange forest creature who had rescued her from the clutches of the ape she struggled desperately to escape, but the strong arms, that held "her as easily as though she had been but a day-old babe, only Pressed a little more tightly. So presently she gave up the futile effort and lay quietly, looking through half closed lids at the face of the man who strode easily through the tangled undergrowth withh er. * / The face above her was one of extraordinary beauty. A perfect type of the strongly masculine, uninsured by dissipation, or brutal or degrading passions. For, though Taiwan of the Apes was a killler of men and of beasta, he

slons when he had killed for hate — though not the brooding, malevolent hate which marks the features of its own with hideous lines. When Tarzan killed he more often smiled than scowled, and smiles are the foundation of beauty. One thing the girl had noticed par ticularly when she had seen Tarzan rushing upon Terkoz—the vivid scarlet band upon his forehead, from above the left eye to the scalp; but now as she scanned his features she noticed that it was gone, and only a thin white line marked the spot where it had been. Once he looked down into her eyes and smiled, and the girl had to close her own to shut ©it the vision ot that handsome, winning face. Presently Tarzan took to the trees and Jane Porter, wondering.that she felt no fear, begfan to realize that in many respects she had never felt more secure in her whole life than now as she lay in the arms of this strong, wild creature, being borne, God alone knew where to or to what fate, deeper and deeper Into the savage fastness of the untamed forest. When, with closed eyes, she commenced to speculate upon the future, and terrifying fears were conjured by a vivid imagination, she had but to raise her lids and look upon that noble face so close to hers to dissipate the last remnant of apprehension. No, he could never harm her; of that she was convinced when she translated the fine features and the frank, brave eyes above her into the chivalry which they proclaimed. As Tarzan moved steadily onward his mind was occupied with many strange and new thoughts. Here* was a problem the like of which he had never encountered, and he felt' rather than reasoned that he must meet it as a man and no" as an ape. Copyright, A. C. McClurg & Cos., 1914.
