TANAR OF PELLUCIDAR By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS “TARZAN OP THeT APES"

CHAPTER FORTY ACROSS the waters came commands for Tanar to lay to. The pursuing boats, which had set out under sail and already had acquired considerable momentum, appeared to be rapidly overhauling the smaller craft. But presently, as the speed of the latter increased, the distance between them seemed not to vary. The shouts of the pursuers had attracted the attention of the sailors on board the anchored raiders, and presently Tanar and Stellara heard the deep boom of a cannon and a heavy shot struck the water Just off their starboard bow. Tanar shook his head. “That is too close," he 6ald. “I had better come about." "Why?" demanded Stellara. “I do not mind risking capture," he said, “because in .that event no harm will befall you when they discover your identity, but I can not risk the cannon shots, for if one of them strikes us, you will be killed.” “Do not come about,” cried the girl. “I would rather die here with' you than be captured, for capture would mean death for you and then I should not care to live. Keep on, Tanar, we may outdistance them yet And as for their cannon shots, a small, moving boat like this is a difficult target and their marksmanship is none too good.” Again the cannon boomed and this time the ball passed over them and struck the water just beyond. “They are getting our range,” said Tanar. The girl moved close to his side, where he sat by the tiller. “Put your arm around me, Tanar," she '<ald. “It we must die, let us die together." THE Sarian encircled her with his free arm and drew her close to him, and an instant later there was a terrific explosion from the direction of the raider that had been firing on them. Turning quickly toward the ship, they saw what had happened—an overcharged cannon had exploded. “They are too anxious,” said Tanar. It was some time before another shot was fired and this one fell far astern, but the pursuing boats were clinging tenaciously to their wake. “They are not gaining,” said Stellara. "No,” said Tanar, “and neither are we.” •“But I think we shall after we reach the open sea,” said the girl.

“We shall get more wind there and this boat is lighter and speedier than theirs. Fate smiled upon us when it led us to this boat rather than to a larger one." As they approached the sea, their pursuers, evidently fearing precisely what Stellara had suggested, opened fire upon them with arquebuses and pistols. Occasionally a missile would come dangerously close, but the range was Just a little too great for their primitive weapons and poor powder. On they sailed out into the open Korsar Az, which stretched onward and upward into the concealing mist of the distance. Upon their left the sea ran inward forming a great bay, while almost directly ahead of them though at so great a distance that it was barely discernible, rose the dim outlines of a headland, and toward this Tanar held his course. * # a THE chase had settled down into a dogged test of endurance. It was evident that the Korsars had no intention of giving up their prey, even though the pursuit led to the opposite shore of the Korsar Az, and it was equally evident that Tanar entertained no thought of surrender. On and on they sped, the pursued and the pursuers. Slcwly the headland took shape before them, and later a great forest was visible to the left of it—a forest that ran down almost to the sea. “You are making for land?” asked Stellara. “Yes," replied the Sarian. “We have neither food nor water, and if we had I am not sufficiently a sailor to risk navigating this craft across the Korsar Az." “But ft we take to the land they will be able to trail us," said the girl. “You forgot the trees, Stellara,” the man reminded her. “Yes, the trees," she cried. “I had forgotten. If we can reach the trees I believe that we shall be safe.” As they approached the shore inside the headland, they saw great combing rollers breaking among the rocks and the angry, sullen boom of the sea came back to their ears. “No boat can live in that,” said Stellara. Tanar glanced up and down the shore-line as far as he could see and then he turned and let his eyes rest sadly upon his companion. “It looks hopeless,” he said. “If we had time to make the search we might find a safer landing place, but

within sight of us one place seen'; to be as good as another.” “Or as bad,” said Stellara. “It can not be helped,” said the Sarian. “To beat back now around that promontory in an attempt to gain the open sea again, would so delay us that we should be overtaken and captured. We must take our chances in the stuff, or turn about and give up." Behind them their pursuers had come about and were waiting, rising and falling upon the great billows.

50 Years Ago In Legislature

By United Press So-called “quack” doctors came In for their full share of criticism when the 1881 legislature considered a measure for regulating and improving the practice of medicine. A bill creating a board'of examiners and requiring practitioners to obtain certificates of qualifications was passed in the senate. A powerful lobby of druggists and traveling physicians worked against the measure. There was a great amount of quibbling and quarreling among the senators over exact terms of the bill and Senator A. A. Shaffer, Huntington, told the senate that “if the Ten Commandments were brought before this body they would be amended before finally passed.”

CROOKS TO BE CURBED Wisconsin Proposes Identification Bureau as an Aid. By United Press MADISON, Wis., March 2.—Wisconsin crooks may have to contend with a state bureau for identification and detection of criminals. Before the present legislature adjourns, it will have considered a bill appropriating $50,000 for 1932 and $25,000 annually in succeeding years for the establishment and maintenance of a bureau which will keep necords of criminals by finger and palm measurements and photographs, and have the power to establish schools for training peace officers in apprehension and detection of criminals. BOTTLE AFLOAT 4 YEARS Journey of 6,000 Miles Estimated From Note Enclosed. Bu Science Service WASHINGTON, March 2.—Four years afloat is the record of a bottle tossed overboard by Captain G. Gellanders of the British steamer Burmese Prince, Dec. 8, 1926, and recently picked up among the Bahamas. The paper in the bottle gave the latitude and longitude of its launching, which showed that it had drifted probably about six thousand miles. The find was reported by the hydrographic office of the United States navy.

TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN L

‘ I have been trying to fir ’ out what your party is doing here,” Tarzan said sharply to the Russian, ‘‘but they insist that lam someone whom I am not.” “We are a party of scientists sent out to gather new specimens of African fauna,” glibly lied Kraski, “we are lost—deserted by our guides. Perhaps you can help us? Tell me, please, who are you?” “I am Tarzan of the Apes,” replied the ape-man, “no hunters enter this part of Africa without my permission. TTiat fact is well known. How could you have passed the coast without being told so? Give me an explanation—and be quick!”

Kraski then proceeded to enlarge upon his false story and pretended anew that it was lucky they had encountered Tarzan, who could help them out of their frightful dilemma. He was profuse in his apologies for crossing the apeman's territory. In the end Tarzan was somewhat mollified by the evidently friendly intentions of the suave Carl. Yet he only half-be-lieved him. Why had they called him “Esteban”? Something sounded rather suspicious to the apeman. “Well,” he decided, “I will soon get at the truth of this matter 1” i.

Ending his account of their supposed mission, Kraski invited the ape-man to Join them all in drinking coffee. Tarzan accepted, refusing the camp-stool proffered him and squatting apefashion before the flickering beast-fires. The light played upon his bronzed hide and brought into relief the gracefully contoured muscles of his god-like frame. The two Englishmen, ezprize fighters as they were, gazed at him in spell-bound fascination, envying him the mighty muscles and the strength that lay in them.

Kraski now went to the cook-fire to make the coffee. From the dark shadows of the tent's interior Flora Hawkes looked nervously out upon the scene before her. Only she fully realized their peril—that their very lives were in danger. She knew if she were discovered, never would the gold of Opar be theirs. “Why,” she thought, “even at this moment Esetban is pilfering' from the hidden vaults.” She was terrified beyond measure by the possibility of discovery, for she was positive in that event the ape-man would remember ~er.
