TARZAN J- of THE APES By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS

BEGIN HEBE After the death in 1890 of John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, and his wife. Lady Alice, in the African jungles, a mother ape steals their infant son Tara an. and drops her own dead babe in the cradle. At 18 years Tarzan 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 his Strang 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: his companion. Jane Porter, and her colored maid. Esmeralda. Prof. Archimedes Q. Porter, Jane’s father, and his secretary, Samuel T. Phillander, bury the skeletons found in the cabin and notice the tiny one 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 reads a letter written by Jane saying her father borrowed SIO,OOO from Robert Carder and went in search of buried treasure. After finding it the sailors mutiny and leave Jane and her father in Africa. Half starved survivors of the Atrow tell of hiding the chest, but are unaware that Tarzan has exhumed and reburied it. 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 beaded by Lieut. D’Arnot search the jungle for Jane. Jane embraces Tarzan ardently when he kills the ape to save her. She notices Tarzan’s resemblance to the miniature in his Lcket. He insists she wear it and carries he" to the cabin. MBonga’s warriors capture D’Arnot. Tarzan secretly rescues him. D’Amot’s men attack MBonga’s village, but return without finding their leader. Tarzan nurses D’Arnot and communicates with him by writting on bark. GO ON WITH THE STOBY For many days D’Arnot lay upon his bed of soft ‘ferns. The second day a fever had come and D’Arnot thought that It meant Infection and he knew that he would die. Beauty A Gleamy Mass of Hair 35c “Danderine” does Wonders for Any Girl’s Hair Girls!

He called Tarzan and indicated by signs that he would write, and when Tarzan had fetched the bark and pencil, D’Arnot wrote: Can you go to my people and lead them here? I will write a message that you may take to them, and they will follow you. Tarzan shook his head and taking the bark, wrote: I had thought of that—the first day; but I dared not. The great apes come often to this spot, and if they found you here, wounded and alone, they would kill you. D’Arnot turned on his side and closed his eyes. He did not wish to die; but he felt that he was going, for the fever was mounting higher and higher. That night he lost consciousness. For three days he was in delirium, and Tarzan sat beside him and bathed '•his head and hands and washed his wounds. On the fourth day the fever broke as suddenly as it had copie, but it left D’Amot a shadow of his former self, and very weak. Tarzan had to lift him that he might drink from the gourd.

The fever had not been the result of infection, as D’Arnot had thought, but one of those that commonly attack whites in the jungles of Africa, and either kill or leave them as suddenly as D’Amot’a had left him. Two days after, D’Arnot was tottering about the amphitheater, Tarzaii’s strong arm about him to keep him from falling. They sat beneath the shade of a great tree, and Tarzan found some smooth bark that they might converse D’Arnot wrote the first message: What can I do to repay you for all that you have done for me? And Tarzan, in reply: Teach me to speak the language of men. And so D’Arnot commenced at once, pointing out familiar objects and repeating their names in French, for he thought that it would be easier to teach this man his # own language, since he understood It himself best of all. It meant nothing to Tarzan, of course, for he could not tell, one language from another, so when he pointed to the word man which ha had printed upon a piece of bark he learned from D’Arnot that it was pronounced homme, and In the same way he was Jaught to pronounce ape, singe, and tree, abre. He was a most eager student, and in two more days had mastered so much French that he could speak little sentences such as: “That is a “this is grass,” “I am hungry,” and the like, but D’Amot found that it was difficult to teach him the French construction upon a foundation of English. The Frenchman wrote little lessons for him in English and had Tarzan repeat them in French, but as a literal translation© was usually very poor French Tarzan was often confused. D’Arnot realized now that he had made a mistake, but it seemed too late to go back and do it all over again and force Tarzan to unlearn all that he had learned, especially as they were, rapidly approaching a poilt where they would be able to converse. On the third day after the fever broke Tarzan wrote a message asking D’Arnot if he felt strong enough to be carried back to the cabin. Tarzan was as anxious to go as D’Arnot, for he longed to see Jane Porter again. D’Amot, only too willing to attempt the journey, wrote: But you cannot carry me all the distance thiough this tangled forest. Tarzan lf.ughed. “Mais oui,” he said, and D’Afinot laughed aloud to hear the phrase that he used so often glide from Tarzan’s tongue. Mid-afternoon brought them to the clearing. No one was in sight without the cabin, and D’Arnot was perplexed to note that neither the cruiser nor the Arrow was at anchor in the bay. An atmosphere of loneliness pervaded the spot, which caught suddenly at both men as they strode toward the cabin. Tarzan lifted the latch and pushed’, the great door in upon its wooden hinges. It was as they had feared. The cabin was deserted. The men turned and looked at one another. D’Amot knew that his people thought him dead; but Tarzan thought only of the woman who had kissed him in love and now had fled from him while he was serving one of her people. / A great bitterness aroiie in his

heart. He would go away, far into the jungle and poin his tribe. Never would he see one of his own kind again, nor could he bear the thought of returning to the cabin. He would leave that forever behind him with the great hopes he had nursed there of finding his own race and becoming a man among men. And the Frenchman?, D’Arnot? What of him? He could get along as Tarzan had. Tarzan did not want to see him mere. He wanted to get away from everything that might remind him of Jane Porter. As Tarzan stood upon the threshold, brooding, D’Arnot had entered the Many comforts he saw that had been left behind. He recognized numerous articles from the cruiser—a camp over, some kitchen utensils, a rifle and many rounds of ammunition, canned foods, blankets, two hairs and a cot. —and several books and periodicals, mostly American. “They must intend returning,” thought D’Arnot. He wanked over to the table that John Clayton had built so many years before to serve as a desk, and on it he saw two notes addressed to Tarzan of the Apes. One was in a strong masculine hand and was unsealed. The other in a woman’s hand, was sealed. “H£re are two messages for you, Tarzan of the Apes,” cried D’Arnot, turning toward the door; but his companion was not there. D’Amot walked to the door and

looked out. Tarzan’ was nowhere in sight. He called aloud, but there was no response- ' "Mon Dieu!” exclaimed D’Arnot, "he has left me. I feel it. He has gone back into his jungle and left me here alone.” And then he remembered the look on Tarzan’a face when they had discovered- that the cabin was empty—such a look as The hunter sees in the eyes of the wounded deer he has wantonly brought down. The man had been hard hit— D’Arnot realized it now—but why? He could not understand. The Frenchman looked about him. The loneliness and the horror of the place commenced to get on his nerves—already weakened by the ordeal of suffering and sickness he had passed through. To be left here alone beside this awful Jungle—never to hear a human voice or see a human face—in constant dread of savage beasts and more terribly savage men—a prey to solitude and hopelessness, it was awful. And far to the east Tarzan of the Apes was speeding through the middle terrace back to his tribe. Never had he traveled with such reckless speed. He felt that he was running away from himself—that by hurtling through the forest like a frightened squirrel he was escaping from his own thoughts. But no matter how fast ho went he found them always with him. Copyright, A. C. McClurg & Cos., 1914. (Continued In Next Issue)
