HPARZAN 1 of THE APES ByEDGAtR RICE BURROUGHS

BEGIN HERE After tbe death m 1890 of John Claytoa. Lord Greystoke. and his wife. Lady Alice, in the African 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 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 strange life. A ship bearing white passengers anchors near-by. Tarzan saves Jhe lives of William Cecil Clayton, son of the then Lord Greystoke; his companion. Jane Porter, and her colored maid, Esmeralda. Prof. Achlmedes 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 Arrow 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'Amot. search for her. Jane embraces Tarzan ardently when he kills the ape to save her. Tarzan secretly rescues D'Amot from savages. His men return without him. Tarzan nurses D'Arnot and communicates with him by writing on bark. D’Arnot teaches Tarzan to speak French. When the two return to the cabin the entire party has sailed. Jane leaves a note for Tarzan. Her departure hurts him. deeply. Tarzan's finger prints are taken to be compared with the infant's in •he diary. He sails for America leaving D'Amot and the treasure chest in Paris. Tarzan arrives at Jane's country home. She promises to marry Canler to gratify her father's wish. -but Tarzan forces Canler to release her. She refuses Tarzan’s marriage proposal because of their different social standing. Tarzan gives Pirof. Porter a check for the contents of the treasure chest. “Pardon me," he said, “I, think we had better try to reach town before dark and take the first train out of this forest. A native just rode by from the north, who reports that the fire is moving slowly in this direction.” This announcement broke up further conversation, and the entire party went out to the waiting machines. Clayton, with Jane Porter, the professor and Esmeralda, occupied Clayton's car, while Tarzan took Mr. Philander in with him. “Bless me!” exclaimed Mr. Philander, as the car moved off after Clayton's machine. "Who would ever have thought it possible! The last time I saw you you were a veritable wild man. skipping about among the branches of a tropical African forest, and now you are driving me along a Wisconsin road in a French automobile. Bless me! But it is most remarkable.” “Yes,” assented Tarzan, and then, after a pause, “Mr. PHilander, do you recall any of the details of the finding and burying of three skeletons found in my cabin beside that African jungle?” “Very distinctly, sir, very distinctly,” replied Mr. Philander. “Was there anything peculiar about any of those skeletons?” Mr. Philander eyed Tarzan narrowly.

"Why do you ask?” “It means a great deal to me to know,” replied Tarzan. "Your answer may clear up a mystery. It can do no worse, at any rate, than to leave it still a mystery. “I have been entertaining a theory concerning those skeletons for the past two months, and I want y.ou to answer my question to the best of your knowledge—were the three skeletons you burled all human skeleton^?" “No,” said Mr. Philander, “tbe smallest one, the one found in the crib, was the skeleton of an anthropoid ape.” “Thank you,” said Tarzan. In the car ahead, Jane Porter was thinking fast and furiously. She had felt the purpose for which Tarzan had asked a few words with her, and she knew that she must be prepared to give him aji answer in the very near future. He was not the sort of person one could put off, and somehow that very thought made her wonder if she did not really fear him. And could she love where she feared?

She realized the spell that had been upon her in the depths of that far-off jungle, but there was no spell of enchantment now in prosaic Wisconsin. Nor did the immaculate young Frenchman appeal to the primal woman in her, as had the stalwart forest god. Did she love him? She did not know—now. She glanced at Clayton out of the corner of her eye. Was not here a man trained in the same school of environment in which she had been trained—a man with social position and culture such as she had been taught to consider as* the prime essentials to congenial association? Did not her best judgment point to this young English ncbleman, whose love she knew to be of the sort a civilized woman should crave, as the logical mate for such as herself? Could she love Clayton? She could see no reason why she could not. That she had been carried off her feet by the strength of the young giant when his great arms were about her in the distant African forest, and again today in the Wisconsin woods, seemed to her only attributable to a temporary mental reversion to type on her part—to the psychological appeal of the primeval man to the primeval woman in her nature. If he should never touch her again, she reasoned, she would never feel attracted toward him. She had not loved him, then. It had been nothing more than a passing hallucination, superinduced by excitement and by personal contact.

Excitement would not always mark their future: relations, should she marry him, and the power of personal contact eventually would be dulled by familiarity. Again she glanced at Clayton. Me was very handsome and every inch a gentleman. She should be very proud of such a husband. And then he spoke—a minute sooner or a minute later might have made all the difference in the world to three lives—bui chance stepped in and pointed out to Clayton the psychological moment, '‘You are free now, Jane.” he said. ‘‘Won’t you say yes—l will devote my life to making you very happy.” “Yes,” she whispered. That evening in the little waiting room at the station Tarzan caught, Jane Porter alone for a moment. “You are free now, Jane,” he said, "and I have come across the ages out of the dim and distant past from the lair of the primeval man to claim you—for your sake I have become a civilized man—for your sake I have crossed oceans and continents—for your sake I will be whatever you will me to be. I can make you happy, Jane, in the life you know and love best. Will you marry me?”

For the first time she realized the depths of the man’s love—all that he had accomplished in so short a time solely for love of her. Turning her head she buried her face in her arms. ' What had she done? Because 3he had been afraid she might succumb to the pleas of this giant, she had burned Jier bridges behind her—in her groundless apprehension that she might make a terrible mistake, she had made a worse one. And then she told him all—told him the truth word by word, without •attempting to shield herself or condone her error. "What can we do?" he asked. “You have admitted that you love me. You know that I love you; but I do not know the ethics of society by which you are governed. I shall leave the decision to you; for you know best what will be for your eventual welfare.” ‘‘l cannot tell him, Tarzan,” she said. “He, too, loves me. and he is a good man. I could never face you nor any other honest person if I repudiated my promise to Mr. Clayton. "I shall have to keep it—and you must help me bear the burden,

though we may not see each other again after tonight.” The others were entering the room now and Tarzan turned toward the little window. But he saw nothing without—witlv in he saw a patch of greensward surrounded by a matted mass of gorgeous tropical plants and flowers, and, above, the waving foliage ofmighty trees, and, over all, the blue of an equatorial sky. N In the center of the greensward a young womdn sat upon a little mound of earth, and beside her sat a young giant. They ate pleasant fruit and looked into each other’s eyes and smiled. They were very happy, and they were all alone. His thoughts were broken in upon by the station agent who entered, asking if there was a gentleman by the name of Tarzan in the party. “I am Monsieur Tarzan,” said the ape-man. “Here is a message for you, forwarded from Baltimore; it is a cablegram from Paris.” Tarzan took the envelope and tore it open. The message was from D’Aarnot. It read: Finger prints prove you Greystoke. Congratulations. D’ARNOT. As Tarzan finished reading Clayton entered and came toward him with- extended hand. Here was the , man who had Tarzan’s title, and Tarzan's estates, and was going to marry the woman whom Tarzan loved—the woman

who loved Tarzan. A single word from Tarzan would mftke a great difference in this mans’ life. It would take away his title and his lands and his castles, and—it would take them away from Jane Porter also. “I say, old man,” cried Clayton, “I haven't chad a chance to thank you for all you’ve done for us. It seems as though you had your hands full saving our lives in Africa and here. “I’m awfully glad you came on hero. Me must got better acquainted. I often thought about you, you know, and the remarkable circumstances of your environment. “If it’s any of my business, how the devil die'you ever get into that bally jungle?” “I was born there,” said Tarzan. ffuietly. “My mother was an Ape, and of course she couldn’t tell me much about It. I never knew who my father was.” THE END.
