TARZAN 1 of THE APES By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS
BEGIN HERE After tae death tn 1890 of John Clayton. Lord Greystoke, and his wife. Lady Alice, .in the African jungles, a motha* ape steals their infant sou Tarzan. and drops her own dead babe in the cradle. At 18 years Tarzan has learned to read English books p his father's cabin, but can speak only ape language. He finds his fathers photo, diary and a locket. As the diary is in Freneh Tarzan does not learn the riddle of his strange life. Mbonga and his tribe of savages invade territory near Tarzan’s home. A Bhip bearing white passengers anchors near-by. Tarzan saves the lives of William Cecil Clayton, son of the then Lord Greystoke; his companion, Jane Porter, and her colored maid. Esmeralda. 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 ia not human. They ascertain from a crest ring 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 and reburies it. He steals a letter written by Jane to Hazel Strong saying her father has borrowed $lO,000 from Robert Canler and gone m search of buried treasure. After finding it the sailors mutiny and leave Jane and her father in Africa. Tarzan leaves a love note for Jane, but she is stolen by Terkoz. an ape. before finding it. Signal fires bring a rescue boat and the crew, headed by Lieut. D’Amo. search the jungle for Jane. Half starved survivors of the Arrow tell of the buried chest. Jane embraces Tarzan ardently when he kills the aoe to save her, but on second thought repulses him- so ho carries her forcibly into the jungle.
GO ON WITH THE STORY. Now he discovered himself speculating upon the fate which would have fallen to the girl had he not rescued her from Terkoz. He knew why the ape had not killed her, and he commenced to compare his intentions with those of Terkoz. True, it was the order of the jungle for the male to take his mate by force but could Tarzan be guided by the laws of the beasts? Was not Tarzan a Man? But how did men do? He was puzzled; for he did not know. He wished that he might ask the girl, and then it came to him that she had already answered him in the futile struggle she had made to escape and to repuise him. But now they had come to their destination? and Tarzan of the Apes with Jane Porter in his strong arms, swung lightly to the turf of the arena where the great apes held their councils and danced the wild orgy of the Dum-Dum. Though they had come many mil&s, it was still but mid-afternoon, and the amphitheater was bathed in the half light which filtered ‘hrough the maze of encircling foliage. A feeling of dreamy ‘peacefulness stole over Jane Porter as she sank down upon the grass where Tarzan had placed her, and as she looked up at his great figure towering above her. there was added a Strang3 sense of perfect security. As she watched him from beneath half-closed lids, Tarzan crossed 'the little circular clearing toward the trees upon the further side. She noted the graceful majesty of hjs carriage, the perfect symmetry of his magnificent figure and the poise of his well-shaped head upon his broad shoulders. What a perfect creature! There could be naught of cruelty or baseness beneath hat god-like exterior. Never, she thought, had such a man strode the earth since God created the first in His own image. With a bound Tarzan sprang into the trees and disappeared. Jane Por ter wondered where he . had gone. Had he left her there to her fate in the lonely jungle?

How different now that he had left her! She almost prayed for the cruel teeth that would give her unconsciousness and surcease from the agony of fear. She heard a sudden, slight sound behind here. With a shriek she sprang to her feet and turned to face her end. There stood Tarzan, his arms filled with ripe and luscious fruit. Jane Porter reeled and would have fallen, had not Tarzan, dropping his burden, caught her in his arms. She did not lose consciousness, but she clung tightly to him, shuddering and trembling like a frightened deer. Tarzan of the Apes stroked her soft hair, and tried to comfort her at Kala had him, when, as a little ape, he had been frightened by Sabor, the lioness, or Histah, the snake. Once he pressed his lips lightly upon her forehead, and she did not move, but closed her eyes and sighed. She could not analyze her feelings, nor did she wish to attempt it. She was satisfied to feel the safety of those strong arms, and to leave her future so fate; for the last few hours had taught her to trust this strange wild creature of the forest as she would have trusted but few of the men of her acquaintance. As she thought of the strangeness Os it, there commenced to dawn upon her the realization that she had, possibly, learned something else which she had never really known before—love. She wondered and then she smiled.
And still smiling, she pushed Tarzan gently away, and looking at him with a half-smiling, half-quizzical expression that made her face wholly entrancing, she pointed to the fruit upon the ground, and seated herself ppcm the edge of the earthen drum of the anthropoids, for hunger was asserting itself. Tarzan quickly gathered up the fruit, and, bringing it, laid it at her feet; and then he, too, sat upon the drum beside her, and with his knife opened and prepared the various viands for her meal. Together and in silence they ate, occasionally stealing sly glances at one another, until finally Jane Porter hroke into a merry laugh in which Tarzan joined. "I wish you spoke English,” said the girl. Tarzan shook his head, and an expression of wistful and pathetic longing sobered his laughing eyes. Then Jane Porter tried speaking to him in French, and then in German; but she had to laugh at her own blundering attempt at the latter tongue. “Any way,” she said to him *in English, “you understand my German as well as they did in Berlin.” Tarzan had long since reached a decision as to what his future procedure should be. He had had time to recollect all that he had read of the ways of men and women in the books at the cabin. He would act as he imagined the men in the books would have acted were they in his place. Again he arose and went into the trees, but first he tried to explain by means of signs that he would return shortly and he did so well that Jane Porter understood and was not afraid when he had gone. Only a feeling of loneliness came over her and she watched the point where he had disappeared, with longing eyes, awaiting his return. As before, she/ was appraised of his presence by a soft sound behind her, and turned to see him coming across the turf with a great armful of branches.
Then he went back again into the jungle and in a few minutes reappeared with a quantity of soft grasses and ferns. Two more trips he made until he had quite a pile of material at hand. Then he spread the ferns and grasses upon the ground in a soft flat bed, and above it he legned many branches together so that they met a few feet over its center. Upon these he spread layers of huge leaves of the great elephant’s ear, and with more branches and more leaves he closed one end of the little shelter he had built. Then they sat uuwn together again upon the edge of the drum and tried to talk by signs. The‘magnificent diamond locket which hung about Tarzan’s neck, had been a source of much wonderment to Jane Porter. She pointed to it- now, and Tarzan removed it and handed the pretty bauble to her. She saw that it was the work of a skilled artizan and that the diamonds were of great brilliancy and superbly set, but the cutting of them denoted that they were of a former day. She noticed too that the locket opened, and, pressing the hidden clasp, she saw the two halves spring apart to reveal in either section an ivory miniature. One was of a beautiful woman and the other might have beei a likeness of the man who sat beside her, except for a subtle difference of ex-

pression that was scarcely definable. She looked up at Tarzan to find him leaning toward ther gazing on the miniatures with an expression of astonishment. He reached out his hand for the locket and took it away from her, examining the likenesses within with unmistakable signs of surprise and new interest. His manner clearly denoted that he had never before seen them, nor imagined that the locket opened. This fact caused Jane Porter to indulge in further speculation, and it taxed her imagination to picture how this beautiful ornament came ir.to the possession of a wild and savage creature of the uuexplored jungles of Africa. Still more wonderful, how. it contained .the likeness of one who might be a brother, or, more likely, the father of this woodland demi god who was even ignorant of the fact that the locket opened.
Tarzan was still gazing with fixity at the two faces. Presently he re moved the quiver from his shoulder, and emptying the arrows upon the ground, reached into the bottom of the bag-like receptacle and drew forth a flat object wrapped in many soft leaves and tied with bits, of long grass. Carefully he unwrapped It, removing layer after layer of leaves until at length he held a photograph in his hand. \ Pointing to the miniature of the man within the locket he handed the photograph to Jane Porter, holding the open locket beside it. The photograph only served to puzzle the girl still more, for it was evidently another likeness of the same man whose picture rested in the locket beside that of the beautiful young woman, * Tarzan was looking at her with an expression of puzzled bewilderment in his eyes as she glanced up at him. He seemed to be framing a question with his lips. The girl pointed to the photograph and then to the miniature and then to him, as though to indicate that she thought the likenesses-, were of him, but he only shook his head, and then shrugging is shoulders, he took the photograph from her and having carefully rewrapped it, placed it again in the bottom of his quiver. For a few moments he sat in silence, his eyes bent upon the ground, while Jane Porter held the little locket in her hand, turning it over and over in an endeavor to find some further clew that might lead to the identity of its original owner. At length a simple explanation occurred to her.

Greystoke, and the likenesses were of himself and Lady Alice. This wild creature had simply found it in the cabin by the beach. How stupid of her not to have hought of that solution before. But to account for the strange ikeness between Lord Greystoke and his forest god—that was quite beyond her, and it is not strange that she did not Imagine that this naked savage was indeed an English lobleman.
