■PARZkfSf 11 of THE APES By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS

BEGIN HEBE After the death in 1890 of John Clayton, Lord Greygtoke. and his wile. Lady Alice, in the Africa Jungle*. a mother ape gtealß their infant son Tarzan, and drops her own dead babe *n the cradle. At 18 years Tarzan has learned to read English boohs in his father's cabin, but can speak only ape language. He finds his father's Shoto. diary and a locket. As the lary is in French Tarzan does not learn the riddle of his strange life. A ship bearing white passengers anchors near-by. Tarzan saves the lives of William Cecil Clayton, son of the then Lord Greystone: his companion. Jane Porter, and her colored maid. Esmeralda. Prof. Archimedes Q. Porter, Jane’s father, and his secretary. Samuel T. Phillander. bury the skeltons 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 Greystok-*. Tarzan reads a letter written by Jane saying her father borrowed SIO,OOO from Robert Canler and went in search of buried treasure. After finding if the sailors mutiny and leave Jane and her father In Africa. Half starved survivors of the Arrow tell of hiding the chest, but are tinware that Tarzan has exhumed and reburied it. Jane is stolen by an ape. Signa lflres bring a rescue boat and the crew headed by Lieut> D’Arnot search for her. Jane embraces 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 tt and carries her to the cabin. Savages capture D'Araot. Tarzan secretly rescues him. D’Arnot’s men attack the savages, but return without finding their leader. Tarzan nurses D’Arnot during his illness and communicates with him by writing on bark. D’Arnot teaches Tarzan to speak French. When the two return to the cabin they find the entire pariy has sailed. Tarzan is so deeply hurt he leaves before findnig two notes left for him. GO ON WITH THE STOIi He passed above the sinuous body .of Sabor, the lioness, going in the opposite direction; toward the cabin, thought Tarzan. What could D’Arnot do against Sabor—or If Bolgani, the gorilla, should come upon him—or Numa, the lion, or cruel Sheeta? Tarzan paused In his flight. “What are you, Tarzan?” he asked aloud. “An ape or a man?” “If you are an ape you will do as the apes would do—leave one of your kind to die in the jungle if it suited your whim to go elsewhere. “If you are a man, you will return to protect your kind. You will not run away from one of your own people, because one of thfem has rup away from you.” D’Arnot closed the cabin door. He was very nervous. Even brave men, and D’Arnot was a brave man, are sometimes frightened by solitude. He loaded one of the rifles and placed It within easy reach. Thne he went to the desk and took up the unsealed letter addressd to Tarzan. Possibly It contained word that his people had but left the beach temporarily. He felt that It would be no breach of ethics to read this letter, so he took the enclosure from the envelope and read: TO TARZAN OF THEE APES: We thank you for the use of your cabin, and are sorry that you did A THREE DAYS’ COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL Chronic coughs and persistent cold* feed to aerlou* trouble.

not permit us the pleasure of seeing and thanking you In person. We have harmed nothing, but have left many things for you which may add to your comfort and safety here in your lonely home. If you know the strange white man who saved our lives so many times, and brought us food, and if you can converse with him, thank him, also, for his kindness. We sail within the hour, never to return; but we wish you and tfcat other Jungle friend to know that wo shall always thank you for what you did for strangers on your shore, and that we should have done infinitely more to reward you both had you given us the opportunity.' Very respectfully, WM. CECIL, CLAYTON. “ ‘Never to return,’ ” muttered D’Arnot, and threw himself face downward on the cot. An hour later he started up. listening. Somebody was at the door trying to enter. D’Arnot reached for the loaded rifle and placed It to his shoulder. Dusk was falling, and the interior of the cabin was very dark; but the man could see the latch moving from its place. He felt his hair rising upon his scalp. • Gently the door opened until a thin crack showed something stana ing just without. D’Amot sighted along the blue barrel at the crack of the door—and then he pulled the trigger. CHAPTER XXIV Lost Treasure When the expedition returned, following their fruitless endeavor to succor D’Arnot, Captain Dufranne was anxious to steam away as quickly as possible, and all save Jane Porter had acquiesced. “No,” she said, determinedly, “I shall not go, nor should you, for there are two friends in that jungle who will come out of it some day expecting to And us awaiting them. “Your officer, Captain Dufranne, is one of them, and the forest man who has saved the lives of every member of my father’s party is the other. “He left me at the edge of the jungle two days ago to hasten to the aid of my father and Mr. Clayton, as he thought, and he has stayed to rescue Lieutenant D’Arnot; of that you may be sure. “Had he been too late to be of service to the lieutenant he would have been back before now—the fact that he Is not back is sufficient proof to me that he is delayed because Lieutenant D’Amot is wounded, or he has had to follow his captors further than the village which your sailors attacked.” “But poor D’Arnot’s uniform and all his belongings were found in that village, Miss Porter,” argued the captain, “and the natives showed great excitement when questioned as to the white man’s fate.” “Yes, Captain, but they did not admit that he was dead, and as for his clothes and accoutrements being in their possession—why more civilized peoples than these poor savage negroes strip their prisoners of every article of value whether they Intend killing them or not. “Even the soldiers of my own dear South looted not only the living but the dead. It is strong circumstantial evidence. I will admit, but it is not positive proof.” * "Possibly your forest man,' himself,” was captured or killed by the savages,” suggested Captain Dufranne. The girl laughed. “You do not know him,” she replied, a little thrill of pride setting her nerves a-tingle at the thought that she spoke of her owng|f "I admit that, he would be worth waiting for, this super-man of yours*” laughed the captain. “I most certainly should like to see him.” “Then wait for him, my dear captain,” urged the girl, “for I intend doing so.” The Frenchman would have been a very much surprised man could he have Interpreted the true meaning of the girl’s words. They had been walking from the beach toward the cabin as they talked, andw now they Joined a little group sitting on camp stools In the shade of a great tree beside the cabin. Professor Porter was there, and Mr. Philander and Clayton, with Lieutenant Charpentier and two of his brother officers, while Esmeralda hovered In the background, ever and anon venturing opinions and comments ■with the freedom of an old and much indulged family servant. The officers arose and saluted as their superior approached, and Clayton surrendered his campstool to Jane Porter. “We were just discussing poor Paul’s fate,” said Captain Dufranne. “Miss Porter insists that we have no absolute proof of his death— nor have we. And on the other hand she maintains that the continued absence of your omnipotent jungle friend indicates that D’Arnot is still in need of his services, either because he is wounded, or still is a prisoner in a more distant native village." “It has been suggested," ventured Lieutenant Charpentier, “that the wild man may have been a member of the tribe of blacks who attacked our party—that he was hastening to aid them—his own _ : Colds o,r;;.

Jane Porter shot a quick glance at Clayton. “It seems vastly more reasonable,” said Professor Porter. “I do not agree with you,” objected Mr. Philander. “He had ample opportunity to harm us himself, or to lead his people against us. Instead, during our long residence here, he has been uniformly consistent in his role of protector and provider.”“That is true,” Interjected Clayton, “yet we must not overlook the fact that except for himself the only human beings within hundreds of miles are savage cannibals. He was armed precisely as are they, which indicates' that he has maintained relations of some nature with them, and the fact that he is but one against possibly thousands suggests that these relations could scarcely have been other than friendly.” “It seems Improbable then that he is not connected with them," remarked the captain; “possibly a member of this tribe.” “Or,” added another of the officers, “that otherwise he could even have lived a sufficient length of time among the savage denizens of the jungle, brute and human, to have become proficient in wood craft, or in the use of African weapons.” “You are judging him according to your own standards, gentlemen,’’ said Jane Porter. “An ordinary white man such as any of you—pardon me, I did not mean just that—rather, a white man above the ordinary in physique and intelligence could never, I grant you, have lived a year alone and naked in this tropical jungle; but this man not only surpasses the average white man in strength and agility, but as far transcends our trained athletes and ‘strong men’ as they surpass a day old babe; and his courage and ferocity in battle are those of the wild beast.” “He has certainly won a loyal champion. Miss Porter,” said Captain Dufranne, laughing. “I am sure that there be none of us here but would willingly face death a hundred times in its most terrifying forms to deserve the tributes o one even half so loyal—or so beautiful.” “You would not wonder that I defend him,” said the girl, “could you have see-A him as I saw him, battling in my behalf with that huge hairy brute. “And could you have seen the chivalrous treatment which he acj corded a strange girl of a strange i race, you would feel the same absolute confidence la him that I feel.” "You have won your suit, my fair

cried the captain. “This court finds the defendant not guilty and the cruiser shall wait a few days longer that he may have an opportunity to come and thank the divine Portia.’' “We can utilize the morrow In recovering the chest, Professor," suggested Mr. Philander. “Quite so, quite so, Mr. Philander, I had almost forgotten the treasure,” exclaimed Professor Porter. “Possibly we can borrow some men from Captain Dufranne to Assist us, and one of the prisoners to point out the location of the chest.” “Most assuredly/ my dear professor, we are all yours to command,” said the captain. And so It was arranged that on the next day Lieutenant Charpentier was to take a detail of ten men, and one of the mutineers of the Arrow as a guide, and unearth the treasure; and that the cruiser would remain for a full week in the little harbor. At the end of that time it was to be assumed that D’Arnot was truly dead, and that the forest man would not return while they remained. Then the two vessels were to leave with all the party. Professor Porter did not accompany the treasure-seekers on the following day, but when he saw them returning empty-handed toward noon, he hastened forward to meet them—his usual preoccupied • indifference entirely vanished, and in Its place a nervous and excited manner. , "Where is the treasure?” he cried to Clayton, while yet a hundted feel sepa,rted them. Clayton shook his head. “Gone,” he said, as he neared the professor. “Gone! It cannot be. Who could have taken It?” cried Professor Por ter. “God only knows, Professor,” replied Clayton. “We might have thought the fellow who guided us was lying about the location, but his surprise and consternation on finding no chest benath the body of the murdered Snipes were too real to be feigned. “Ant’ then our spades showed us that something had burled beneath the corpse, for a hole had been there and it had been filled with loose earth.” “But who could have taken It?” repeated Professor Porter. “Suspicions naturally might fall on the men of the cruiser,” said Lieutenant Charpentier, “but for the fact that sub-Lieutenant Jaqviers here assures me that no man have had short leave—that none has been on shore since we anchored here,

except under command of an officer. “There must have been several in the party,” said Jane Porter, who had joined them. “You remember, that it took four men to carry it.” “By Jove!” cried Clayton. “That’s right. I must have been done by a party of blacks. Probably one of them saw the man bury the chest, and then returned Immediately after with a party of his friends and carried It off.” Only Jane Porter knew what the loss meant to her father, and none there knew what it meant to her. Six days later Captain Dufranne announced that they would sail early on the morrow. Jane Porter would have begged for a furthbr reprieve, had It not been that she, too, had begun to believe that her forest lover would return no jnore. That he was a cannibal she would not believe, but that he was an adopted member of some savage tribe at length seemed possible to her. It was she, though, who suggested that arms, ammunition, supplies and comforts be left behind in the cabin, ostensibly for that Intangible personality who had signed himself Tarzan of the Apes, and for D’Amot should he still be living, but really, she hoped, for her forest god—even though his feet should prove of clay. And at the last minute she left a message for him, to be transmitted by Tarzan of the Apee. Copyright, A- C. McClurg & Cos., 1914. (Continued in Next Issue)

KIDNEYS MUST HAVE PLENTY OF IB Kidney and bladder irritations often result from acidity, says a noted authority. The kndneys help filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder. Bladder weakness, most folks call it. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is often one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Begin drinking lots of soft water, also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast. Continue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs, which then act normal again. Jad Salts is Inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithH and is used by thousands of folVoP who are subject to urinary disorders caused by aoid irritation. Jad Salts causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, efferves cent lithla-water drink which may quickly relieve your bladder Irritation. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.—Advertisement.
