Philander grasped Professor Archimedes Q. Porter firmly by the arm and hurried the weakly protest- ing old gentlenian off in the direction of Cape Town, 1,500 miles to the south.

Quickly, with an impatient stamp of Mg foot, elle endeavored to shake off the gloomy forebodings. and turning to Esmeralda bade her cease her wall. lug. "Stop, Esmeralda; stop it this tmu- lite!" she cried. "You are only making Its worse. I never saw such a big ba by." Soon the girl found that the door was equipped with a beavy wooden bar upon the inside. After several efforts the combined strength of tbe two enabled them to slip it into place -the first tine in twenty years. After Clayton had plunged into the jungle, the sailors -mutineers of the Arrow -fell into a discussion of their next step, but on one point all were agreed -that they should hasten to put off to the authored Arrow, where they could at least be safe from the spears of their unseen foe. So much had Taman seen that day that Ids head was in a whirl of wonder. But the most wonderful sight of all to him was the face of the beautiful white girl. Here at last was one of his own kind; of that he was positive. And the young man and the two old men, they, too, were much as he had pic- tured his own people to be. He did not understand anything of the motives behind all that he had seen, but somehow intuitively he liked the young man and the two old men, and for the girl be had a strange longing which he,scarcely understood. As for the big black woman, she was evidently connected in some way with the girl, and so he liked her also. For the sailors, however, and espe- cielly Snipes, he had developed a great hatred. Fie knew by their threaten- ing gestures and by the expressions upon their evil faces that they were enemies of the others, and so he de- cided to watch tbem very closely. Tarzan wondered why the men had gone into the jungle. Never did it occur to him that one could become lost in that maze of undergrowth which to him was as simple as the main street of your owe home town. When he saw the sailors row away toward the ship and knew that the girl and her companion were safe in his cabin he decided to follow the young man into the jungle and leap what his errand might -be. Ele swung.' off rapidly in the direction taken by Clayton and in a short time heard faintly in the distance tbe now only occasional calls of the Englishman to Itis friends. Presently Tar= came up with the white man, who, almost fagged, was leaning against a tree wiping the per- epiration from his forehead. The ape man, hiding safe behind a screen of foliage, sat watehing this new speci- men of his own race intently. At letervols Clayton called aloud, and fleally it came to Taman that he was smirching for the old men. Tarzan on the point of going off to look for them himself when he eaught the yellow apt of a sleek bide moving cautiously through the jungle toward Clayton. It was Sheeta. the leopard. He heard the sol't bending of grasses and wondered why the young white man was not warned. Could It be be had failed to note the loud warning? Nev. er before had 'Fermin known Sheeta to be so clumsy. No, the white man did not hear. Sheeta was (Teething for the spring, and then. shrill and horrible, there rose upon the stillness of the jungle the awful cry of the challenging ape, and Sheeta turned, crashiug into the underbrush. Clayton came to his feet with a start. Ms blood ran cold. Never bad so fearful a sound stnote upon his ears. He was no coward, but if ever man felt the Icy fingers of feet. upOn his heart Cecil Clayton, eldest son of Lord Greystoke of England, did thnt day in the fastness of the African jungle.

That scene lie witnessed in the twi- light depths of an African jungle was burned forever into the Englishman's brain. The man before Mw was the em- bodiment of physical perfection and giant strength, yet it was not on this he had depended in his battle with the great cat, for, mighty as were his mus- cles, they were as nothing by compari- son with those possessed by Numa. To his agility, to his brain and to his long, keen knife he owed his su- premacy. • His right arm encircled the lion's neck, while tbe left hand plunged the knife time and time again into the unprotected side behind the left shoul- der, while the infuriated beast, drawn upward and backward until he stood on his hind legs, struggled impotently in tbis unnatural position. Had the battle continued a few sec- onds longer the outcome might have been different, but all was aecom- Wished so quickly that the lion had scarce time to recover from its sur- prise before it sank lifeless to the ground. Then the strange figure which had vanquished it stood erect upon tbe cer- eass and, thrOwing back the wild, handsome head, geese the fearsome cry which a few moments earlier had so startled Clayton. Before him he saw the figure of a young Man naked eieept for a loin cloth and a few barbaric ornamente on arms and lege and en the breast a priceless diamond locket gleaming against a smooth brown skin. The bunting knife had been returned to its homely sheath, and the man was gathering up his botv and quiver from where he had tossed them when he leaped to attaek the lion. - Clayton spoke to the man bit Etiglish, thanking him for his brave rescue and eOniplimenting hite on his Wondrons strength and delterity. The only answer was it steady stare and 0 faint shrug Of the Mighty shout - dors, Which may have betokened either disparagelnent of the service rendered or, ignorance of the litegeage, _ PROSPERITY 1 Advertisements Are the Guideposts Showing Way By HOLLAND.

Then. squatting upon his hatiethes, he proceeded to eat, motion ing Clayton to join him, The strong white teeth sank into the raw and dripping flesh in apparent rel- ish, but Clayton could not brim; him self to . share the uncooked meat with his strange host. Instead he watched Mw. and presently there dawned upon him the convictioutlfat tbis was Tar- zan of the apes, whose notice he bad seen posted upon the cabin door that morning. if so he must speak English. Again Clayton essayed speech with the ape man, but the replies were in a strange tongue, which resembled the, chattering of monkeys mingled with' the growling of some wild beast. CHAPTER X. The Forest God. WHEN Tarzan had finished his repast he rose and, pointing in a very different direction from that which Clayton had been pursuing, started through the jurigle toward the point he had in- dicated. ' Clayton, bewildered and confused, hesitated to follow him, for he thought he was but being led more deeply into the mazes of the forest, but the ape man returned and, grasping him by the coat, dragged him along until he was convinced that Clayton understood what was required of him and then left him to follow voluntarily. The Englishman finally concluded that be was a prisoner and saw no al- ternative but to accompany his.captor, and thus they traveled slowly through the jungle while the sable mantle of the impenetrable night of the forest fell about them. Suddenly Clayton heard tbe faint re- _ _ . Severe Cold Settleti On Her Lungs. Mrs. Geo.

Site feared not more for herself than for the three men whom elle knew to be watelering in the abysmal depths of the jungle, front which now iesned the Incessant shrieks and roars, barkings and growl - legs of Its terrifying and fearsome in- mates, Now came the sound of a heavy body brushing against the side of the cabin She 001110 hear the great pad- ded paws upon the ground without Then for an instant :111 was silence. "Hush!" the girl whlepered. "Muth, F.smeralda!" for the woman's sobs and groans seemed to base attracted the thing that stalked there just beyond tile tide well. A. gentle scratching sound was heard on the door. The beide tried to force an entrance, but presently this ceased, and again she heard the great padded paws creep stealthily around tbe cabin. Again they stopped -beneath the win- dow, on which the terrified eyes of the girl now glued themselves. "Deavens!" she naurinurea, for, sil- houetted against the moonlit sky be- yond, she saw framed In the tiny square of the latticed window the head of a huge tiger. The gleaming eyes were fixed upon her in tense ferocity. "Look, Esmeralda!" she whispered. "What shall we do? Look! 'Quick! The window!" Esmeralda cowered still closer to her mistress and glanced affrighted toward the little square of moonlight just as the tiger emitted a low, savage snarl. The sight that met the poor black's eyes was too much for the already omvaesrs.strung nerves. "Oh, Gabriel!" the shrieked and slid to the floor, an inert and senseless For what seemed an eternity the great brute stood with its fore paws upon the sill, glaring into the little room. Presently it tried the strength of the lattice with its great talons. The girl had almost ceased to breathe when to her relief the head disappeared and she heard the brute's footsteps leaving the window. But now they came to the door again, and once more the scratching commenced, but this time with increasing force until the great beast was tearing at the massive panels in a perfect frenzy of fury. Could Jane Porter have known the immense strength of that door, builded piece by piece, she would bare felt less fear of the tiger reaching her by this avenue. For fully twenty minutes the brute alternately sniffed and tore at the door, occasionally giving voice to a cry of baffled rage. At length, however, he gave up the attempt, and .lane Porter heard Mw returning toward the win- dow, beneath which he paused for an instant and then laiinched his great weigbt against the time worn lattice. The girl heard the wooden rods groan beneath the impact, but they held, and the huge body dropped back eo the ground below. Again and again the tiger repeated these tactics until dually the horrified prisoner within saw a portion of the lattice give way, and in an instant one great paw and the head of the animal were thrust within the room. Slowly the powerful neck and shoul- ders were spreading the bars apart, and the lithe body came farther and farther into the room. As in a trance the girl rose, her hand upon her breast, wide eyes star- ing horror stricken into the snarling face of the beast scarce ten feet from her. At her feet lay the prostrate form of' the negress. The girl, standing pale and rigid. against the farther wall, sought with increasing terror for some loophole of escape. Suddenly her hand, tight pressed against her bosom, felt the hard outlines of the revolver that Clayton had left with her earlier in the day. Quickly she snatched it from 10 hiding place and, leveling it full at the tiger's face, pulled the trigger. There was a flash of flame, the roar of the discharge and an nnswering roar of pain and anger from the beast :Sane Porter saw the great form dis- appear from the window, and then she, too, fainted. But the tiger was not killed. The bill - let had but inflicted a painful wOund in one of the great shoulders. In an- other instant he was back at the lat- tice and with renewed fury was claw- ing at the aperture, but With lessened effect, since the wounded member was almost useless. Ile saw his prey -two woreen-lying senseless upon the floor. There was no longer any resistance to be over - vitae. Sitbor had Only to worm his way through the lattice to claim it. Slowly he forced his greet bulk, Inch by inch, throueth the opening. Now his head was through, now one great fore le,g and shoulder. Carefully he drew up the wounded member to insinuate it gently beyond the tight pressing bars. A Moment More and both shoulders through, the long, eintunie body and the narrow hips would glide quickly after. It was on this sight that Jane Per- t& again opened Iter eyes. * * When Clayton heard the repert Of the firearm he fell Into all agony of fear and apprehension.
