Also, why the black wurrior had ruined his delielous repast by Wang- ing It into the blighting liven was quite beyond hint. Possibly the fire Was a friend with whom the archer was sharing his food. Taman would not ruin good meat in any such foolish manner, so he gobbled down a great quantity of the -raw flesh, bree:drig the balance of the carenss be- side 'the trail where he could find it upon his return. And then fiord Greystoke wiped his -greasy fingers upon his naked thighs And took up the trail of Kulonga, the son of Mbonga, the king; while in far- off Loudon another Lord Greystoke, the younger brother of the real Lord Greystoke's father, soft back Ills chops to the club's chef because they were underdone, and when he had finisbed bls repast he flipped his finger ends Into a silver bowl of scented water and ;dried them upon a piece of snowy dam - 'ask. All day Tarzan followed Eulonga, hovering above him in the trees like some malign spirit, TWiee more he saw him hurl his arrows of destruc- tion -once at Dango, the hyena, and again at Mane, the monkey. In each . instance the animal died almost in- )iftantly, for Kulonga's poison was very " resh and very deadly. There was -something mysterious connected with these tiny slivers of wood which could bring death by a mere scratch, thought 'Tarzan. He must -look into the matter. That night Kulonga slept in the crotch of a mighty tree and far above 'Lim crouched Taman of the apes. When Kulonga awoke be found that *his bow and arrows had disappeared. The black warrior MIS furious and *frightened, but more frightened than furious. His spear be had hurled at - la and had not recovered, and. now bat his bow and arrows were gone, he was defenseless exeept for nes-Ingle knife.

From a great nines of impenetrable foliage a few yards away 'emerged Tarzan or the apes to swine .quietly in his wake. Kulonga's bow and arrows were ee -curely tied high in the top of a gidin tree, from which a patch of kbarit had been removed ley a sharp knife neer to the ground and a branch half cut through and left henging about fifty feet higher up. Thus Tarzan innzed the forest trails and marked his caches. As Kulonga continued his journey Tarzan closed up on him until he trav- eled almost over the black's head. His •rope he now held coiled in his right hand. He was almost ready for the The moment was delayed only be- cause Tarzan was anxious to ascertain the black warrior's destination, and presently he was rewarded, for they -came suddenly in view of a great clear- ing, at one end of which lay many strange lairS. Tarzan was directly over Kulonga .tis he made the discovery. The forest ended ainemtly, and beyond lay 200 ,yards of planted fields between the jungle and the village. As Kulonga emerged. from the shad- ow of the jungle the quick noose tight- ened about his neck. 'se So rapidly did Tarzan of the apes drag back his prey that Kulonga.'s cry of ,alarni ,was throttled in his winft- To &icier From Headaches MAKES LIFE MISERABLE. NsifcIt takes a person who has had and is e subject to headache to deeeribe the suffer- ing which attends it. The dull throbbing, the intense pain, sometimes in one part elf the head, sometimes in another, and then again over the whole head, varying in its severity by the cause which brings it on, purely indicates that there is sometlimg amiss with the system. The het that Burdock Blood I3itters reaches the seat of the trouble is due to its success ;in relie.ving and permanently curing the -cause of the headache. Mn. Andson, 416 16th Ave. East, Cal- ,gary, Alta., writes: "For three years I was troubled ell the time with sick headaches, .and suffered ale) with constipation, and keet brealthig out in enemies and sores on my face. 1 tried ever) thin till at last a •tiend told me of Burdock Blood Bitters.

Then rarzan. elimbing to a larger branch, ptille.1 the till thrashing vietim well nil into the sheltering verdure of the tree. He fastened the rope securely to a stout branch and then, descending, plunged his hunting knife Into Ku- longa's heart. Kale was avenged. Tarzan examined the black minutely. Never bad he seen any other human being. The knife, with its sheath and belt. eaugbt his fancy. He appropriat- ed them. A copper anklet also took, hie fancy, and this he put on his own leg. Thep quickly he lowered Ku - lunge's hotly to the ground, removed the noose and took to the trees again. From n lofty perch Tarzan viewed the village of thatched huts across the intervening plantation. He saw that at one point the forest touched the village, and to this spot he made his way, lured by a fever of curiosity to behold animals of his own kind aud to learn more of their ways and view the strange lairs in which they lived. His life among the brutes of the jungle left uo opening for any thought that these could be other than enemieS. Similarity of form led him to no er- roneous conception of the welcome that would be accorded him should he be discovered. Kis strange life had left him neither morose nor bloodthirsty. That he joy - ed in killing and that he killed with a laugh npon his handsome lips betoken- ed no innate cruelty. So it was that now, as he cautiously approached the village of Mbonga he was quite prepared either to kill or be killed should he be discovered. Fre proceeded with unwonted stealth, for Kulonga had taught him great respect for the little sharp splinters of wood which dealt death so swiftly and un- erringly. At length he came to n great tree, heavy witli thick foliage and loaded with pendnnt loops of giant creepers. From thie almost impenetrable bower above the vilinge he crouched, looking down npon the scene below him. There were naked children running and playing in the street. There were women grinding driedplantain ertule stone niortars, whilplantain in others were fashioning cakes from the powdered flour. Out In the fields he could see kill other women hoeing. weeding or gathering. Dozing in the shade he saw several men, While at the extren1e outskirts of the clearing he occasion- ally caught glimpses of armed war- riors apparently ou guard. He noticed that the women alone worked. Filially his eyes rested Van it woman directly beneatb him. Before her was a small caldron standing over a low tire, and in it bub- bled a thick, reddish, tarry mass. On one side of her lay a quantity,. of wood en arrows, which she dipped into the seething substance and then laid them 00 n narrow rack of bows which stood at her other side. Tarzan of the apes was fascinated. Dere was the secret of the destructive. uess of "the archer's" tiny missiles. Ile noted the extrezne care which the woman took that none of the matter should touch her hands. now he should like to Wive more of those little' death dealing slivers! If the woman would only leave her work Lor an Instant he could drop down, gather up a handful and be beck in the tree again before she drew three breaths. As he was trying to think out some plan to distract her attention he beard a wild ery frotn across the clearing, Ite looked and saw a black warrior standing benenth the very tree in which he had killed the murderer of KAM an hour before. The fellow was shouting and waving his spent* above his head. Now and again he would point to something on the ground before him. The village was in an uproar in- stantly. Armed men rushed from the interferer many a hut and raced mad- ly across the clearing toward the ex- cited sentry. After them trooped the old men and the women and children, until, In a mordent, the village was de- serted: Tarzau of the apes knew that they had found the body of his victim. but that interested him far less than the fact that no one remained In the vil- lage to prevent his taking a supply of the nrreWs which lay below him. , CHAPTER vi.

No one was In sightiiis eyes rested upon the open doorway of a nearby fle would take a look within, thought Tarzan, and so cautiously he approached the low thatched building. Poe n amient he hesitated without, listening intently. There was no sound, and he glided into the semi- darkness of tbe interior. Weapons hung against the wails - long spears, strangely shaped knives, couple of narrow shields. In the cen- ter of the room was a cooking pot and at the far end a lathr of dry grasseff covered by woven mats, which evident- ly served the owners as beds and bed- ding. Several human skulls lay upon the floor. Tarzan of the apes felt of each arti- fee, hefted the spears, smelled of them. for he "saw" largely through his sensi- tive and highly trained nostrils. He determined to OW11 One of these long pointed sticks, but be could mit take one on this trip because of the arrows he. meant to carry: Otte by one as he took each article from the walls he placed thetn in rt pile in the center of the room, and on lop of all he placed the cooking pot, invertedand ow top of this lie laid ant, of the grinning skulls, upon whloh he fastened the headdress of the dead K hinge. Then he stood back and surveyed his work and grinned. Taman of the apes was 11 joker. ilut now he heard without the sounds of many voices and long. mournful howls and mighty wailing. He was startled. Had he retnnluecl too long? Qnickly Ile reached the doorway and peered down the village street toward the village gate.

Ile turned to watch the proceedings below, poised lIke some wild bird ready to take swift wing at the first sign of danger. The natives filed up the street, four of them boo ring the body of Kulonga: Behind trailed the women, uttering strange cries and weird lainentation. On they came to the portals of the very hut in which Tarzan had wrought his &timely had half a dozen entered the building ere they came rushing out in wild, jabbering confusion. The others hastened to gather about. There was much excited gesticulating, point- ing and chattering. Several of the warriors approached and peered within. Finally an old fellow with many or- naments of metal about his arms and legs and a necklace of dried human hands depending upon his chest, en- tered the hut. It was Mbonga, the king, father of Kulonga. For a few moments all were silent. Then Mbonga emerged, a look of min- gled wrath And fear writ upon his hideous countenance. He spoke a few words to the assembled warriors, and in an Instant the men were flying through the little village searching minutely every hut and corner within the palisade. Seareely had the search commenced than the overturned caldron Was dis- covered and with it the theft of the polsoned arrows. Nothing more they foUnd, and it was a thoroughly awed and frightened group of savages whieb huddled around their king a few me- ments later. They stood in little groups, talking In low tones and casting affrighted glances behind theM from their great rolling eyes.

The brilliant stones gleamed etrangely against Ids smooth, brown hide. The lettere he could scarcely deci- pher, for he bad leaned little or noth- ing of script, so he put there back in the box with the photograph and then. ed. his attention to the little book. This was almost entirely filled with* fine script; but, while the little bugs were all familiar to him, their arrange- ment and the combinations in which they occurred were strange and entire- ly incomprehensible. Tarzan had long since learned the use of the dictionary; but, much to his sorrow and perplexity, it proved of no avail to him in this emergency. Not a word of all that was written in the lit - tie book could he find, and so he put it bach in the little nietal box, but with a determination to work out the nays- teties of it later on. It was the diary of John Clayton, Lord Greystoke,.. kept in French, as had always been his custom. Tarzan replaced the box in the cup- board, but always thereafter be car- ried the features of the strong, smiling face of his father in his heart and in his head a fixed determination to solve the mystery of the strange words in the little black. book. At present he had more important business in hand, for his supply of ar- rows was exhausted, and he must needs journey to the black men's vil- lage and renew it. Early the following morning he set out, and, traveling rapidly, be came before midday to the little clearing. Once more he took up his position in the great tree, and, as before, he saw the women in the fields and the village street and the little caidron of bub- bling poison directly beneath hint For hours he lay awaiting his oppor- tunity to drop down unseen and gather up the nrrows for which he had come. But ft was not until night fell that Tarzan saw his chance. This time he took all of the arrows. for he had brougbt a number of long fibers to bind them into a bundle. When the savages discovered that once more their arrows had been pil- fered. It seemed to them that they had offended some great god who ruled this part of the jungle, From then on an offering of food ‘11113 daily placed beneath the great tree from whenee the arrows had disapPearecl, in an effort to conciliate the mighty one. But the seed of fear was deep sown, and had he but known it Tarzan of the apes had laid the foundation for much future misery for himself and his trlbe. That night he slept In the forest not for from the village, and early the next morning set out slowly on hid homeward march, hunting as he trav- eled. Only a few berries and an oc- casional grubworm rewarded his Search, and he was half famished when, looking up from a log he had been rooting benesth, he saw Sabor, tbe tiger, stafiding in the center of the trail not twenty paces from him. The great yellow eyes were fixed upon bin3 with a wicked and baleful gleam, and the red tongue licked the longing lips as Sabor crouched, worm- ing his stealthy way with belly flat- tened against the earth. Tarzan did not attempt to escape. lie welcomed the opportunity for which, in fact, be had been searching. Quickly he wishing his bow and fit- ted a well daubed arrow, and as Saber sprang the tiny missile leaped to meet him in midair. At the same instant Tarzan of the apes jumped to one side, and as the tiger struck the ground be- yond another death tipped arrow Sank deep into his loin. With a mightat roar the beast turneti and charged once more, only to be met with a third arrow full in one ate but this time he was too close upon the ape man for the letter to sidestep, Tarzan of the apes went down be • the body of his enemy, but with gleaming knife drawn and strikbag ortieFor a nsontent they lay there and then Tarzari realized that the inert mass lying upon him was beyond poet- er to injure. With difficulty he wriggled from be- neath the great weight, and as he deed erect and gazed down upon the trophy of his skill a mighty wave of exulta- tion swept over him.

IGuelph Herald The majority o'.! the • farmers in the vicinity of Guelph are generally considered to be honest, but once in a while human nature leops out in an endeavor to put something over on the unsophisticated city man. He usually gets caught at it, however, and in the instance following he was nipped properly. One day last week a well known citi- zen went down to the market to pur- chase a load of hay for his horse. There were several loads on hand, and he picked out what he thought looked to be good hay, and it was good hay, too. The price was $16.60, a pretty stiff mice, by the way. The farmer drove on the scales and weighed the 1 .ad, after which he started off for the purchaser's barn to unload it. The latter thought he would assist in the operation, and followed it up with his herse and cutter. He had not gone far b .fore he noticed a big stone coming f ern the top of the load. Ile got out a id picked it up and for the next 2C0 yards he was the busiest man on the road, except the man on top of the 13ad of hay, who kept throwing off the stones, while he picked them up end pat them in the cutter. He had a cutter load when he got them all, and when they were weighed were found to weigh over 300 pounds. What followed be- t veen the two men is only heresay, but the matter was satisfactorily adjt.sted.
