TARZAN J- of THE APES By EDGAR R.JCE BURROUGHS

BEGIN HERE After the death In 1800 of John Clayton. Lord Greyßtoke. and his wife. Lady Alice, in the African jungles, a mother ape steals their infant son Taman, and drops her own dead babe in the cradle. At 18 years Tarzan has learned to read English books in hi* father's cabin but can speak only language He finds hii father's S, diary and a locket. As the Is in French Tarzan does not learn the riddle of his strang life. M bong a and his trible of savages Invade territory near Taman's home. A ship bearing white passengers anchors near-by. Tarzan saves the lives of William Cecil Clayton, son of the then Lord Cecil Clayton. lon of the then Lord Greystoke; hi# companion. Jane Porter, and her colored maid. Esmeralda. Prof. Archimedes Q. Porter. Jane's father, and his secretary. Samuel T. Phiilander. bury the skeletons found In the cabin and notice the tiny oce is 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 reads a letter written by Jane to Hazel Strong saying her father has borrowed $lO.000 from Robert Canler and gone in 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’Arrot search the jungle for Jane. Half starved survivors of the Arrow tell of the buried chest. Jane embrances Tarzan ardently when he kills the ape to save her. She notices Tarzan's resemblance to the miniature in his locket. He insists she wear it and carries her to the cabin. Mbonga’s w airier capture D'Amot. Taman secretly rescues him. D’Arnots’ men plan an attack on Mbonga's village. GO ON WITH THE STORY At length the signal came—a sharp rattle of musketry, and like one man, an answering volley tore from the jungle to the west and to the south. > The natives in the field dropped their implements and broke madly for the palisade. The French bullets mowed them down, and the French sailors bounded over their prostrate bodies straight for the village gate. So sudden and unexpected the assault had been that the whites reached the gates before the frightened natives could bar them, and in another minute the village street was filled with armed men fighting hand to hand in an inextricable tangle. They spared the children and "hose of the women whom they were not forced to kill in self-defense, hut when at length they stopped, panting. blood covered and sweating, it was because there lived to oppose them no single warrior of all the savage village of Mbonga. Carefully they ransacked every hut and Corner of the village, but no sign of D’Arnot could they find. The next morning they set out upon the return march. Their original intention had been to bum the village, but this idea was abandoned and the prisoners were left behind, weeping and moaning, but ‘with roofr to cover them and a palisade for refuge from the beasts of the Jungle. Slowly the expedition retraced its steps of the preceding day. Clayton and Lieutenant Carpentier brought up the rear of the column; the .Englishman silent in respect for the other’s grief, for D’Amot and Charpentier had been inseperable friends since boyhood. It was quite late when they reached the cabin by the beach Clayton, exhausted from his five days of laborious marching through the jungle and from the effects of his two battles with the blacks, burned toward the cabin to seek a mouthful of food and then the comparative ease of his bed of grasses, IELLS RHEMIKT 10 BEGjMJN SUITS A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion are nearly always due to acidity—acid stomach—and not, as most folks beTieve, from a lack of digestive juices. He states that an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermentation; then our meals sour like garbage In a can, forming acrid fluids and gases, which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas or have heartburn, flatulence, waterbrash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and Instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, while it Is effervescing, and furthermore, to continue this for one week. While relief often follows the first dose, it \is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices. Jad Salts Is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts Is used by thousands of f toiriach sufferers with excellent remits.—Advertisement .

after two.nights in the Jungle. By the cabin door stood Jane Porter. “The poor lieutenant?” she asked. "Did you find no trace of him?” "We were too late, Miss Porter,” he replied sadly. "Tell me. What had happened?” she asked. “I cannot. Miss Porter, it is too horrible." "You do not mean that they had tortured him?” she whispered. “We do not know what-they did •to him before they killed him,” he answered, his # face drawn with fatgue and the sorrow he felt for poor D’Amot—and he emphasized the word before. “Before they killed him! What do you mean? They axe not ? They are not *■?” She was thinking of what Clayton had said of the forest mans probable relationship to this tribe and she could not frame the awful word. “Yes, Miss Porter, they were cannibals,” he said almost bitterly, for to him, too, had suddenly come the thought of the forest man, and the strange, unaccountable jeadousy he had felt two days before swept over him once more. And then in sudden brutality that was as unlike Clayton as courteous consideration is unlike an ape, he blurted out: “When your forest god left you he he was doubtlessly hurrying.to the feast." , He was sorry ere the words were spoken, though he did not know how cruelly they had cut the girl. His regret was for his -baseless disloyalty to one who had saved the lives of every member of his party, nor ever offered harm to one. -The girl’s head went high. ‘There could ( be but one suitable reply to your assertion, Mr. Clayton,*’ she said icily, "and I regret that I am not a man, that I might make it.” She turned quickly and entered the cabin. Clayton was an Englishman, so the girl had passed quite out of sight before he deduced what reply a mgn would have made. “Upon my word,” he said ruefully, “she called me a liar. And I fancy I jolly well deserved it,” he added thoughtfully. "Clayton, my boy, I know you are tired out and unstrung, but that’s no reason why you should make an ass of 3rourself. You’d better go to bed.” But before he did so he called gently to Jane Porter upon the oposite side of the sail cloth partition, for he wished to apologize, but he might as well have addressed the sphinx. Then he wrote upon a piece of paper and shoved it beneath the partition. Jane Porter saw the little note and ignored It, for she was very angry and hurt and mortified, but—she was a woman, and so eventually she picked it up and read it.My Dear Miss Porter: I had no reason to insinuate what I did. My only excuse Is that my nerves must be unstrung—which is no excuse at all. Please try and think that I did not say it. I am very sorry. I would not have hurt you, above all others In the world. Say that you forgive me. TO. CECIL CLAYTON. “He did think it or he never would have said it,” reasoned the girl, “but It cannot be true—oh, I know it Is not true!" One sentence in the letter frightened her: "I would not have hurt you above all others in the world.” A week ago that sentence would have filled her with delight, now it depressed her. She wished she had never met Clayton. She was sorry that she j had ever seen the 'forest god—no, she was glad. And there was that other note she had found in the grass before the cabin the day after her return from the jungle, the love notev signed by Tarzan of the Apes. Who could be this new suitor? If he were another of the wild denizens of this terrible forest what might he not do to claim her? CHAPTER. XXIII Brother Men When D’Arnot regained consciousness, he found himself lying upon a bed of soft ferns e.nd grasses beneath a little "A” shaped shelter of boughs. He was very lame and sore and weak, and as full consciousness returned he felt the sharp torture of many cruel wounds, and the dull aching of every bone and muscle in his body as a result of the hideous beating he had received. At length he recollected the whole hideous scene at the stake.* and finally recalled the strange white figure in whose arms he had sunk into oblivion. D’Amot wondered what fate lay in store for him now. He could neither see nor hear any signs of life about him. , At length he fell In a quiet slumber, nor did he awake again until afternoon. Once more he experienced the strange sense of utter bewilderment that had marked his earlier awakening, but soon he recalled the recent past, and looking through the (Opening at his feet he saw the figure of a man squatting on his haunches. The broad, muscular back was turned toward him, but, tanned though it was, D’Rnot saw that it was the back of a white man, and he thanked his God. The Frenchman called faintly. The man turned, and, rising, came toward the shelter. His face was very handsoar e—the harsomest, thought D’Amot, that he had ever seen. Stooping, he crawled into the shelter beside the wounded officer and placed a cool hand upon his forehead. D’Arnot spoke to him in French, but the man only shook nis head—sadly, it seemed to the Freeh man. Then D'Amot tried English, but still the man shook his head. Italian, Spanish and German brought similar discouragement. D'Amot know a few words of Norwegian, Russian, Greek and also had a smattering of the language of one of the West Coast negro tribe* —the man denied them all. Suddenly tine man hastened from

utes later with several pieces of bark, and —wonder of wonders —a lead pencil. Squatting beside D’Arnot he wrote for a minute on the smooth inner surface of the bark; then he handed it to the Frenchman. I D’Arnot was astonished to see, in plain print-like characters, a mesage in English; sage in English. "I am Tarzcyi of the Apes. Who are you? Can you read this language?” , D’Arnot seized the pencil—then he stopped. This strange man wrote English—evidently he was ax Englishman. “Yes,” said D’Arnot, "I read English. I speak it also. Now we may talk. First let me thank you for all that you have done for me.” The man only shook his head and pointed to the pencil and the bark ,“Mon Dieu!” cried D’Arnot. “If you English why is it then that you cannot speak English?” Anb then in .a flash it canv to him —the man was a mute, possibly a deaf-mute. So D’Arnot wrote a message on the bark, in English. I am Paul d'Araot, lieutenant in the navy of France. I thank you for what you have done for me. You have saved my life, and ail that I have is yours. May I ask how it is that one who writes English does not speak it? Tarzan’s reply filled D’Arnot with still greater wonder: I speak only the language of my tribe—the great apes who were Kor chak’s; and a little of the languages of Tantor, thfe elephant, and Nuirut, the lion, and of the other folks of the jungle I understand. With a human being I have never spoken, exeept once with Jane Porter, by signs. This is the first tim? I have spoken vlth another of my kincjl through written words.. He looked at Tarzan’s message—. -‘‘except once with Jane Porter.” That was the American girl who had been carried into the jungle by & gorilla. A sudden light commenced to dawn on D'Amot—this then was the "gorilla.” He seized the pencil and wrote: Where is Jane Porter? And Tarzan replied, below. % Back with her people in the cabin of Tarzan of the Apes. She is not dead then? Where was she? What happened to her? She is not dead. She was taken by Terko* to be his wife; but Tarzan of the Apes too* her away from Ter-

It pains ne to write, I will rest a while. And then Tarzan: Yes, rest. When you are well I 'hall take you back to your people. Jopyrigtat, A. C. McClurg & Cos., 1914.
