The Son of T arzan <By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS Copyrifht, by Prank A. Hnneey Co.

HANSON, THE STRANGER, CAUSES THE DISMISSAL OF BAYNES BY BWANA, BUT HIDES HIS MOTIVE Synopsis.— A scientific expedition off the African coast rescues a human derelict, Alexis Paulvltch. He. brings aboard an ape, Intelligent and friendly, and reaches London. Jack, son of Lord Greystoke, the original Tarzan, has inherited a love of wild life and steals from home to see the ape, now a drawing card In a music hall. The ape makes friends with him and refuses to leave Jack despite his trainer. Tarzan appears and is joyfully recognized by the ape, for Tarzan had been king of his tribe. Tarzan agrees to buy Akut, the ape, and send him back to Africa. Jack and Akut become great friends. Paulvitch is killed when he attempts murder. A thief tries to kill Jack, but is killed by Akut. They flee together to the jungle and take up life. Jack rescues an Arabian girl and takes lier into the forest. He is wounded and Meriem is stolen. The bad Swedes buy her from Kovudoo, the black. Malbihn kills Jenssen fighting for the girl. Bwana comes to the rescue and takes her to his wife. Jack vainly seeks her in the wilds. Meriem mourns Jack for dead and heeds love plea of Morison Baynes, an Englishman.

CHAPTER Xll—Continued. —l4— The wide heavens above her seemed to promise a greater freedom from doubt and questioning. Baynes had urged her to tell him that she loved him. A dozen times she thought that she might honestly give him the answer that he demanded. Korak was fast becoming but a memory. That he was dead she had come . to believe 3 since otherwise he would have sought her out. She did not know that he had even better reason to believe her dead and that it AVas because of that belief he had made no effort to find her after his raid upon the village of Kovudoo. Behind a great flowering shrub Hanson lay gazing at the stars and waiting. He had lain thus and there many nights before. For what was he waiting or for whom? He heard the girl approaching and half raised himself to ids elbow. A dozen paces away, the reins looped over a fence post, stood his pony. Meriem, walking slowly, approached the bush behind which ,the waiter lay. IL ason drew a large bandanna handkerchief from his pocket and rose stealthily to his knees. A pony neighed down at the corrals. Far out across the plain a lion roared. Hanson changed his position until he squatted upon both feet. Again the pony neighed, this time closer. There was the sound of his body brushing against shrubbery. Hanson heard and wondered how the animal had got from the corral, for it was evident that he was already in the garden. The man turned his head in the direction of the beast. What he saw sent him to the ground, huddled close beneath the shrubbery—a man was coming, leading two ponies. Meriem heard now and stopped to look and listen. A moment later the Hon. Morison Baynes drew near, the two saddled mounts at his heels. Meriem looked up at him in surprise. The Hon. Morison grinned sheepishly. “I couldn’t sleep,” he explained, 'and was going for a bit of a ride when tq see you out here, and I tlioqght you’d like to join me. Hipping good sport, you know, night x-iding. Come on.” Meriem laughed. The adventure appealed to her. “All right,” she said. Hanson swore beneath his breath. The two led their horses from the garden to the gate and through It. There they discovered Hanson’s mount. “Why, here’s .the trader’s pony,” remarked Baynes. “He’s probably down visiting with the foreman,” said Meriem. “Pretty late for him, isn’t it?”/remarked the Hon. Morison. “I’d hate to have to ride back through that jungle at night to his camp.” A moment later the two had mounted and were moving slowly across the moon-bathed plain. Their horses were pressed side by side. Baynes was pressing Meriem’s hand as he poured words of love into her ear, and Meriem was listening. “Comfe to London with me,” urged the Hoff. Morison. “I can gather a safari, and we ca* be a whole day upon the way to the coast before they guess that we have gone.” “Why must we go that why?" asked the girl. “Bwuna and My Dear would not object to our marriage.” “I cannot marry you just yet,” explained the Hon. Morison. “I must inform my people, and there are other formalities to be attended to first You do not understand. It will be all right We will go to London. I cannot wait. If you love me you will come.” “You love me?” she asked. “You will marry me when we have reached London?” “I swear it-” he cried. • “I will go with you,” she whispered, “though I do not understand why delay is necessary.” She leaned toward him, and he took lier in his arms and bent to press his lips to hers. * * * * * * * At the bungalow Bwana had met the returning adventurers on the veranda. Returning from, the foreman’s quarters, Bwana had noticed that the corral gate was open, and further investigation revealed the fact that Merlem’s pony was gone and also the one most often used by Baynes. Explanations on the part of the Englishman met a rather chilly reception from his host. Meriem was silent She saw that Bwana was angry with her. It was the first time, and she was heartbroken. “Go to your room, Meriem,” he said. “And, Baynes, If yon will step Into my study I’d like to have a word with you in a moment.” Bwana saw Hanson in the garden and called him to the veranda. .. Hanson paused. Both men were silent for a time. Presently the trader toughed in an embarrassed manner, as there -waa something on his

mind he felt In duty bound to say, but bated to. . “What is It, Hanson?” asked Bwana. “You were about to say something, weren’t you?” “Well, you see, it’s like this,” ventured Hanson. “Bein’ around here evenings a good deal I’ve seen them two together a lot, and, beggin’ your pardon, sir, but I don’t think Mr, Baynes means the girl any good. I’ve overheard enough to make me think he’s tryin’ to get her to run off with him.” Hanson, to fit his own ends, hit nearer the truth than he knew. He was afraid that Baynes would interfere with his own plans, and he had hit upon a scheme both to utilize the young Englishman and get rid of him at the same time:" “And I thought,” continued the trader, “that, inasmuch as I’m about due to move, you might like to to Mr. Baynes that he go with me. I’d be willin’ to take him north to the caravan trails as a favor to you, sir.” Bwana stood in deep thought for a moment. Presently he looked up. “Os course, Hanson, Mr. Baynes is my guest,” he said, a grim twinkle in his eye. “Really I cannot accuse him of planning to run away with Meriem on the evidence that we have, aud as he is my guest I should hate to be so discourteous as to ask him to leave. But if I recall his words correctly it seems to me that he has spoken of returning home, and I am sure that nothing would delight him more than going north with yob. You say you start tomorrow? I think Mr. Baynes will accompany you. “Drop over In the morning, if you please, and now good night, and thank you for keeping a watchful eye on Meriem.” Hanson hid a grin as he turned and sought his saddle. Bwana stepped “I Will Go With You,” She Whispered. from the veranda to his study, where he found the Hon. Morison pacing back and forth, evidently very ill at ease. “Baynes,” said Bwana, coming directly to the point, “Hanson is leaving for the north tomorrow. He has taken a great fancy to you and just asked me to say to you that he’d be glad to have you accompany him. Good night, Baynes!” At Bwana’s suggestion Meriem kept in her room the following morning until after the Hon. Morison Baynes had departed. Hanson had come for him early—in fact, he had remained all night with the foreman, Jervis, that he might get an early start. The farewell exchanges between the Hon. Morison afld his host were of the most formal ,type, and when at last the guest rode away Bwana breathed a sigh of relief. It had been an unpleasant duty, and he was glad that it was over, but he did not regret his action. 1 He did not mention the subject again to Meriem, and in this he made a mistake, for the young girl, while realizing the debt of gratitude she owed Bwana and My Dear, was both proud and sensitive, so that Bwana’s action in sending Baynes away and giving her no opportunity to explain or defend him hurt and mortified her. Also it did much toward making a martyr of Baynes in her eyes aud arousing in her breast a keen feeling of loyalty toward him. CHAPTER XIII. Morison and Hanson. As Hanson and Morison rode toward the former’s camp the Englishman maintained a morose silence. The other was attempting to formulate an opening that would lead naturally to the proposition he had in mind. He rode a neck behind his companion, grinning as he noted the sullen scowl up ji the other’s patrician face. “Rather rough on you, wasn’t he?” he ventured at last, jerking his head hack in the direction of the bungalow

as Baynes turned his eyes upon him at the remark. “He thinks a lot of the girl,” contin- 1 ned Hanson, “and don’t want nobody to marry her and take her away. But Tt looks to me as though he was doin’ her more harm than good in sendin’ you away. She ought to marry sometime, and she couldn’t do better than a fine young gentleman like you.” Baynes, who had at first felt inclined to take offense at the mention of his private affairs by this eommou fellow, was mollified by Hanson’s final remark and immediately commenced to see in him a man of discrimination. “He’s a darned bounder,” grumbled the Hon. Morison, “but I’ll get even with him. He may be the whole thing in central Africa, but I’m as big as he is in London, and he’ll find it out when he comes home.” “If I was you,” said Hanson, “I wouldn’t let any man keep me from gettln’ the girl I want. Between you and me I ain’t got no use for him either, and if I can help you any, why, just call on me.” “It’s mighty good of you, Hanson.” replied Baynes, warming up a bit, “but what can a fellow do here in this Godforsaken hole?” “I know what I’d do,” said Hanson. “I’d take the girl along with me. If she loves you she’ll go all right.” “It can’t be done,” said Baynes. “He bosses this whole blooming country for miles around, He’d be sure to catch us.” “No, he wouldn’t; not with me running things,” said Hanson. “I’ve been trading and hunting here for ten years, and I know as much about the country as he dobs. If you want to take the girl along I’ll help you, and I’ll guarantee that there won’t nobody catch up with us before we reach the coast. “I’ll tell you what —you write her a note, and Til get it to her by my head man. Ask her to meet you to say goodby. She Avon’t refuse that. In the meantime Ave can be movin’ camp a little farther north all the time, and yon can make arrangements with her to be all ready on a certain night. Tell lier I’ll meet her then, while you wait for us in camp. That’ll be better, for I know the country well and can cover it quicker than you. You can take charge of the safari and be movin’ along slow toward the north, and the girl and I’ll catch up to you.” The balance of the long ride to Hanson’s northerly camp Avas made in silence, for both rqen Avere occupied with their OAvn thoughts, most of which Avere far from being either complimentary or loyal to the other.

By a strange twist of circumstances, Jack (Korak) picks up trace of his lost sweetheart— Hanson and Baynes plot.

(.TO BE CONTINUED.) LEARNING TO FORGET BEAUTY Difficult Lesson for Woman, Asserts English Writer, in Describing the Aged Queen Alexandra. “There is no more difficult lesson for n Avoman to learn than that of learning hoAv to forget that she has been beautiful,” Avrites a iftever English woman. “One afternoon I saAV Queen Alexandra driving slowly In her open motor through the gates at Hyde Park corner. For the first time It occurred to me that this rarely lovely queen Is now an old woman nearing four-score years of age. Perhaps she had forgotten to be alert, as is her usual custom, or perhaps the heat-of the day had fatigued her. But at any rate there was a touch of tragedy in the thought that Queen Alexandra Is learning slowly, but surely, that extreme beauty can fade although the charm of personality can challenge the attack of time. “I fancy it must have been the queen mother’s costume that brought this idea most surely before me. She was wearing a mantle or cloak made of some material in shade of Iridescent blue spangles Avith a close frilling of black lace all round the edge., Her hat or bonnet was of the usual royal ehftpp and built of jetted stuff to mateh her cloak, with a small white aigrette standing erect in front “Under ordinary circumstances one would regard this quaint nineteenth century toilet of the queen mother’s as a characteristic conventionality, but somehow on this sunny afternoon It represented to me a-sacrifice to the inevitable.” Expect New Comet. A spectacle In the sidereal heavens of surpassing brilliancy may be expected the coming spring If the predictions of cometary observers are verified. Not since the great comet of 1858, which aroused a vast deal of interest, has an appearance in the sky equaled what is confidently expected for 1918. The return of Halley’s comet in 1910, which had anxiously been did not come up to what had been predicted and expected, and since 1882 there has not been any especially brilliant comet seen. The newcomer is described as a gigantic comet, outclassing in size and brilliancy all those seen in modern times. It will be a thing of glory In the northwestern sky throughout the spring, astronomers say, probably remaining visible for three months, being at Its brightest in June. It Is now speeding toward the sun at an approximate, rate of 1,134,246 miles a day. A cyclometer has been designed for measuring the distances covered by railroad cars. Work and Play.

Silks to the Fore in Suits.

It looks as if j there were about as many silk suits as there are 'wool suits In the displays at the shops. One hears women who have no need to save money, saying and repeating it, that they are not buying avool clothing at all. They intend to look to cotton and silk to supply them with Avhat they need, for this summer ami they are doing this from patriotic motives. Wool suits are being remodeled, freshened Avith neAv collars and cuffs of satin, or garnished Avith flat silk braid in many precise toavs, and Ave are pointing with pride to these made-over possessions. In the meantime those vrho manufacture silks are centering attention on new beautiful and very practical weaves, for all sorts of wear. There are among them some wonderful, distinctive dress fabrics. As silks become more and more practical they will continue to replace

Blouses for the Coming Season.

There is much refinement in the styles appearing in new blouses, both for ordinary and dressy wear, because they are simple and depend upon fine needlework decorations for their finish. The receipt for the artistic in blouses demands simplicity aud simplicity is interesting in proportion to exquisite ftaisk and originality in the design of garments and their garnitures. Women who are gifted Avith fine sense of clothes are charmed Avith thfe return of some of the beautiful, old-time ideas of decorative needlework in the neAv blouses, inspired by work that Avas all done by hand in those distant days when many women occupied much of their time Avith sewing. But it happens that in modern versions of these old ideas machine Avork often takes the place of handwofk. Even at that, considerable handwork in basting as preparation for the machine is necessary. Among the examples of this are blouses in which small cord is introduced between two thicknesses of georgette crepe or other sheer material by fine machine stitching on each side of the cord. This makes

Vests of White Pique. The vests of white pique or other heavy cotton material are not so new, but they always look fresh and attractive with cloth suits of any color. The dainty lingerie fronts are really sleeveless bodices with fronts of varying degrees of elaboration. If they are not made in this way they will not keep their shape well. Some of these have a collar of medium depth turning over the coat, finished with three or four rows of tiny ruffles. This Idea may be carried out in rose, blue

avool . Already there is not much difference In the designs Air street suits between those of silk and those of wool. In the foreground of the picture there is a suit of satin and near enough for comparison one of wool. Their lines and style features are very much alike. The silk suit has a skirt with more fullness at the front than usual; it is plain and hangs straight. The coat, in the mode of today, is uneven in length Avith long points at the front. Its body is extended at one side to form part of a wide girdle where thrJfe fancy buttons finish it. These buttons appear again as a decoration on the sleeve Avhere it flares at ,the hand. In this suit a shawl collar is supplemented by a sailor collar* under it. This order of things Is reversed in the wool snit where a small separate collar on the Avatstcoat, overlays the coat collar.

fine ridges which are arranged in parallel lines, like pintucks at the front of the blouse and on the collar and cuffs. Tiny crepe-covered buttons fastened by loops of the silk cord finish these lovely blouses. There is nothing in them but the material and the Avork, but they bring a high price. The blouse shown in the picture above is somewhat less difficult to make, but not less beautiful. It is ol crepe georgette, but would be as effective in fine French A 7 oile or batiste. A checker-board design is made by basting on small squares of the fabric at the front and on the cuffs ol the blouse and ha\-ing them all outlined Avith hemstitching. At each side of the Whnd of decoration made in this way on the front of the blouse there are groups of very small tucks. A narrow band of bead trimming is ex< tended across the front panel of this model. It Avould not be as appropriate on a blouse of voile or batiste made In this Avay.

or green lawn or any other thin material. A very pretty one is of Avhite lawn with a small pink dot An effective front Is tucked in cross bars. The Use of Tulle. Tulle Is very much in evidence on the new models usually in the form of floating scarfs or as loose panels or draperies over very tight underskirts. Black tulle over black satin is very attractive for a dinner gown. Panels o 4 king’s blue tulle over midnight blue satin is another combination.

ItomeTown ftfelpsf GREATLY REDUCES FIRE RISK Advantage of Standardizing Fire-Hose Couplings Quickly Perceived by Up-To-Date Communities. An association was formed in an j Ohio city recently with the idea of | standardizing the firehose couplings in j the district, and it was found that I some of the odd-size hose couplings j could be changed to standard at small J expense by means of taps and dies j furnished free by the inspection bu- j reau, reports Country Gentleman. It j also was ascertained thij,t by means of j adapters couplings in other cities I could be made; but in some towns the ; size was prohibitive. . Now other cooperative associations are being formed that are reaching out 4nto Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana and West Virginia, and demands for the taps , and dies have come from Texas and New Jersey. The co-operative idea not only takes ■ in the waterworks towns, but also the , smaller places, and the chiefs of the j several co-operative units have can- j vassed their districts so that now they i know not only what equipment to j send in case of urgent call, but the j available water supply, the state of the j roads and the construction and char- j acter of the buildings to be worked up- j on. As most of the Ohio equipment is now motorized, remarkable time is made in getting to towns where there is no fire-fighting equipment at all but Avhere a powerful combination chemical truck could handle a blaze satisfactorily. Many of the chiefs of volunteer organizations are now visiting the headquarters of the city depart- . ments and gaining practical experi- ; enee at first-hand in actually fighting 1 fire, in discipline and in care of equip- : ment. Towns finding that they can- j not .have assistance, by reason,• of i odd-size couplings, are ordering all ! new standard equipment and are, of j course, changing their hydrants to con- j form to the standard code. The value of the city and interurban j co-operative, Avlieel-within-a-Avheel idea is that in many cases the toAvn or rural ; equipment would master the fire; but ! if it could not, the next nearest large | place could rush the proper paraphernalia to the scene, either over good roads or by special train, either steam or electric. The idea of interurban and rural protection is about to take another leap forward, and, the plan is this: Ohio and many other states are spiderwebbed with trolley lines. Suitable tank cars, carrying chemical equipment, pumps and 1,000 or more feet of hose could be held in reserve at terminal points and rushed, day or night, to the nearest point to a fire. In a fire a second lost may make for eternity. * POINTERS ON HOME BUILDING Comprehensive Study of Various Designs Will Be Found Helpful to Prospective Home Owners. The collecting of clippings from the real-estate section of newspapers and magazines is a practice recommended by architects for persons contemplating building a home. The prospective home builder can obtain many \-aluable pointers as to the relath’e style of house Avhich he prefers and is able to compare the advantages of different designs. He is then able to explain to the architect Avhat he Avants and the architect can draw up plans in aeeordarice Avith his wishes. When saving clippings the client is apt to accumulate a lot of irreconcilable details which he wants in his house, but the architect can adapt the principles desired to better effect if he knoAvs Avhat styles and designs are in the owner’s mind. The clipping habit is usually acquired some time before the time to build and in the meanwhile the selective process is continuing. By the time the OAvner is financially ready to build he lias made up his mind as to the details he Avould like to have and the things he Avould rather do without. The illustrations in neAvspapers and architectural magazines are valuable in determining the style of house desired. while the homebuilders’ sections contain many suggestions of use to possible builders. The saving of these illustrations and suggestions will enable one to get a good idea of Avhat other builders are doing and keep in touch Avith recent deA-elopments of interest. Can Overcome Camouflage. An American physicist believes that the advantages of camouflage—or at least certain kinds of camouflage—can be overcome by an opposing army by providing its airmen and other scouts with colored glasses or screens of contrasting colors to use with field glasses, states Popular Mechanics Magazine. When the colors of these screen are properly selected uniforms and other objects may be made to appear in contrast, instead of in harmony, Avith their surroundings, he claims. Camouflage as practiced in many cases is accomplished largely by the use of paint, objects being given shades that blend with the landscape. In spite of certain difficulties that Avould arise, it is believed that such efforts at concealment could be rendered quite ineffectual by the - means stated. It Was a Full Moon. “Does the moon remind you of anything?’’, he asked, sentimentally, thinking of their courtship days. “Yes,” said his wife. “What?” he asked. “You,” she said, “on club nights.”— Boston Transcript. —% ■ - The Way of It. “Did you find your friend in broken spirits?” “From the Avay he Avas putting away brandy smashes.
