; ; Tarzan A of THE At>ES By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS

BEGIN HERE After the death in 1890 of John Clayton, Lord Greystroke. and hi wife. Lady Alice, in the Africa jungles, a mother ape steals their infant son Tarzan. and places her own dead babe in the cradle. At 18 years Tarzan has learned to read English books in his father's cabin, but can ppeak only ape language. He finds his fther's photo, diary and a locket. As the diary is m French Tarzan does not learn the riddle of his strange life. A ship bearing white passengers anchors near-by. Tarzan saves the live* of William Cecil Clayton, son of the then Lord Greystoke; his companion, Jane Porter, and her colored maid. Es-m-alda. Prof. Achimedes Q. Porter. Jane’s father, and his secretary. Samuel J. Philander, 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 Canler 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 Aroow tell Professor Porter where they hid the chest, but he fails to find it. Tarzan has exhumed and reburied it. Jane is stolen by an ape. Signal fires 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 it and carries her to the cabin. Savages capture D'Arnot. Tarzan secretly rescues him. D'Arnot's men attack the savages, but return without finding their leader. Tarzan nurses D’Arnot during his illless 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 party has sailed. Jane leaves two messages. Her departure hurts Tarzan deeply. D’Arnot shoots at something in the dark, GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXV The Outpost of the World With the report of his gun D'Arnot saw the door fly open and the figure of a man pitch headlong within onto the cabin floor. ■The Frenchman, in his panic raised his gun to fire again into the prostrate form, but suddenly in the half dusk of the open door he saw that the man was white and in another instant realized that Ifc had shot his friend and protector, Tarzan of the Apes. With a cry of anguish D'Arnot sprang to the ape-man’s side, and kneeling, lifted the black head in his arms—calling Tarzan’s name aloud. There was no response, and then D'Arnot placed his ear above the man’s heart. To his joy he heard its steauy beating beneath. Carefully he lifted Tarzan to the cot, and then, after closing and bolting the door, he lighted one of the lamps and examined the wound. The bullet had striick a glancing blow upon the skull. There was an ugly wound, but no signs of a fracture of the skull. D’Arnot breathed a sigh of relief, and went about bathing the blood from Tarzan’s face. Soon the cool water revived him, and presently he openeod his eyes to look in questioning surprise at D’Arnot. The latter had bound the wound with pieces of cloth ,and as he saw that Tarzan had regained - consciousness he arose and going to the table wrote a message, which he

handed to the ape-man, explaining the terrible mistake he had made and how thankful he was that the wound was not more serious. Tarzan, after reading the message, sat on the edge of the couch and laughed. , “It is nothing,*’ he said in Flinch, and then, his vocabulary failing him. he wrote: You should have seen what Bolgani did to me, and Kerchak, and Terkoz, before I killed them—then you would laugh at such a little scratch. D’Arnot handed Tarzan the two messages that had been left for him. Taiwan read the first one through with a look of sorrow on his face. The second one he turned over and over, searching for an opening—he had never seen a sealed envelope before. At length he handed it to D’Arnot. The Frenchman had been watching him, and knew that Tarzan was puzzled over the envelope. How strange it seemed that to a- fullgrown white man an envelope was a mystery. D’Arnot opened it and handed the letter back to-Tarzan. Sitting on a camp stool the apeman spread the written sheet before him and read: 1 To Tarzan of the Apes: Before I leave let me add my thanks to those of Mr. Clayton for the kindness you have shown in permitting us the use of your cabin. That you never came to make friends with us> has been a great regret to us. We should have liked so much to have seen and thanked our host. There is another I should like to thank you, but he did not come back, though I cannot believe that he is dead. I do not know his name. He is the great white giant who wore the diamond locket upon his breast. If you know him and can speak his language carry my thanks to him, -and tell him that I waited seven days for him to return. Tell him, also, that in my home in America, in the city of Baltimore, there will always be a welcome for him if he cares to come. I found a note you wrote me lying among the leaves beneath a tree near the cabin. I do not know how you learned to love me, who hdve never spoken to me, and I am very sorry if it is true, for I have already given my heart to another. But know that I am always your friend. JANE PORTER. arzan sat with gaze fixed upon the floor for nearly an hour. It was evident to him from the notes that they did not know that he and .Sarzan of the Apes were one and .:he same. “I have given my heart to another,’’ he repeated over and over again to himself. Then she did not love him! How could she have pretended love, and raised him to such a pinnacle of hope only to cast him down to such utter depths of despair! Maybe her kisses were only signs of friendship. How did he know, who knew nothing of the customs of human beings? Suddenly he arose, and, bidding D’Arnot good night as -he had learned to do, threw himself > upon the couch of ferns that had been Jane Porter’s.

D’Arnot extinguished the lamp, and lay down upon the cot. For a week they did little but rest; D’Arnot coaching Tarzan in French. At .the end of that time the two men could converse quite easily. One night, as they were sitting within the cabin before retiring, Tarzan turned to D’Arnot. “Where is America?’’ he said. D’Arnot pointed toward the northwest. Many thousands of miles across the ocean,” he replied. “Why?” “I am going there.” D’Arnot shook his head. “It is impossible, my friend,” he said. Tarzan rose, and, going to one of the cupboards, returned with a well thumbed geography. Turning to a map of the world, he said: “I have never quite understood all this; explain it to me, please.” D’Arnot did so. Now point out America,” said Tarzan. And as D’Arnot 'placed his finger upon North America, Tarzan smiled and laid his palm upon the page, spanning the great ocean that lay between the two continents. “You see it is not so very far,” he said; “scarce the width of my hand.” D'Amot laughed. How could he make the man understand? Then he took a pencil and made a tiny point upon the shore of Africa. This little mark,” he said, “is many times larger upon this map than your cabin is upon the earth. Do you see now how very far it is?” Tarzan thought for a long time. Do any white men live in Africa?'.’ he asked. “Where are the nearest?” D Arnot pointed out a spot on the shore just north of them. “So close?” asked Tarzan, in surprise. "Yes,” said D’Arnot; ‘'but it is not close.” “Have they big boats to cross thp ocean?” “Yes. ’ “We shall go there tomorrow,” announced Tarzan. Again D’Araot smiled and shook his head. “It is too far. We should die long before we reached them." “Do you wish to stay here then forever?” asked Tarzan. “No,” said D’Arnot. “Then we shall start tomorrow. I do not like it here longer. I should rather die than remain here.” “Well,” answered D’Arnot, with ja shrug, “I do not know, my friend, but that I also would rather die than

remain here. If you go, I shall go with you.” “It is settled then,’ said Tarzan. “I shall start for America tomorrow.” “How will you get to America without money?” asked D’Amot. “What is money?” inquired Tarzan. It took a long time to make him understand even imperfectly. “How do men get* money?” he asked at last. “They work for it.” “Very well. I will work for it, then.” “No, my friend,” returned D’Arnot, “you need not worry about money, nor need you work for it. I have enough for two—enough for twenty. Much more than is good for one man, and you shall have all you need if ever we reach civilization.” --A'.' ■ ,/Y- * So on the following day they started north along the shore. Each man carrying a rifle and ammunition, beside bedding , and some food and cooking utensils. The latter seemed to Tarzan a most useless encumbrance, so he threw his away. “But you have to learn to eat cooked food, my friend,” remonstrated D’Arnot. “No civilized men eat raw flesh.” “There will be time enough when I reach civilization,’’ said Tarzan. “I do not like the things and they only spoil she taste of good meat.” For a month they traveled north. Sometimes finding food in plenty and again going hungry for days. They saw no signs of natives nor were they molested by wild beasts. Their journey was a miracle of ease. Tarzan asked questions and learned rapidly. D’Arnot taught him many of the refinements of civilization—even to the use of knife and fork; but sometimes Tarzan would drop them in disgust and grasp his food in his strong brown hands, tearing it with his molars like a wild beast. On the journey he told D’Arnot about the great chest he had seen the sailors bury of how he had dug it up and caxried it to the gathering place of the apes and buried it there. “It must be the treasure-chest of Professor Porter,” said D’Arnot. “It

is too bad, but of course you did not know.” Then Tarzan recalled Jhe letter written by Jane Porter to her friend—tjie one he had stolen whsc they first came to his cabin, and now he knew what was in the chest and what It meant to Jane Porter. "Tomorrow we shall go back after it,” he announced to D’Amot. “Go back?” exclaimed D’Amot. “But, my dear fellow, we have now been three weeks upon the march. It would require three more to return to the treasure, and then, with that enormous weight which required, you say, four sailors to carry, it would be months before we had again reached this spot.” "It must be done, my friend,” insisted Tarzan. “You may go on toward civilization,' and I will return for the treasure. I can go very much faster alone.” "I have a better plan, Tarzan,” exclaimed D’Amot. “We shall go on together to the nearest settlement, and there we will charter a boat and sail back down the coast for the treasure and so transport it easily. “That will be safer and quicker and also not require us to be separated. What do you think of that plan?” “Very well,” said Tarzan.- “The treasure will be there whenever we go for It; and while I could fetch it now, and catch up with you In a moon or two, I shall feel safer for you to know that you are not alone on the trail. “When I see how helpless you are, D’Arnot, I often wonder how the human race has escaped annihilation all these ages which you tell me about. Why, Sabor, single handed, could exterminate a thousand of you.” “You will think more highly of your genus when you have seen its armies and navies, its great cities, and Its mighty engineering works. Then you will realize that it Is mind, and not muscle, that makes the human animal greater than the mighty beasts of your jungle.. “You are right, D’Amot,” replied Tarzan, “for It Kerchak had come to Tublat’s aid that night a* the Dum-Dum, there woOld have been an end of me But Kerchak could never think far enough ahead to take advantage of any such opportunity. “Even Kala, my mother, could never plan ahead. She simply ate what she needed when she needed it, and if tie supply was very scarce, even thgh she found plenty for

mNSTEAD of crossswords—cross-numbers! Here is something new in the fad that has gripped the nation. Numbers instead of letters, numbers that add to a definite sum, reading either way. You need no dictionaries to look up sticklers, not even an arithmetic. For these numbers are just the first nine digits and each group totals fifteen. The puzzle form and numbering of the squares are similar to crossword puzzles. But instead of definitions you get a group of number.; which are to be rearranged in the squares designated so that they will add up to fifteen either horizontally or vertically, when the other groups are properly arranged. Try it and see how you like it.

several meals, she would never gather any ahead. “Then you knew your mother, Tarzan?” asked D’Amot, in surprise. “Yes. She was a great, fine ape, larger than I, : and weighing twice is much.” “And your father?” asked D’Arnot. / “I did not know him. Kala told me he tyas a white ape, and hairless like myself. I know now that he must have been a white man.” D’Arnot looked long and earnestly at hie companion. Copyright, A. C. Mcdurg & Cos., 1914. (Continued- in Next Issue;
