the wind. The anchor was lowered;
down came the sails. There was great
Scurrying about on deck.
'A boat was lowered. and into the
boat a great eliest was placed, Then a '
dozen sailors bent to the onrs and pull-
ed rapidly toward the point where Tar-
zan crouched in the branches of a
great tree.
In the stern of the boat, as it drew
nearer, Tamen saw the rat rimed man
It was but a few minutes later that
the boat touched the beach, The men
jumped out and lifted the great chest
to the sand. They were on the north i
side of the point, so that their presence
was concealed from those at the cabin. ,
The men argued angrily for a mo-
ment. Then the rat faced one, with
several companions. ascended the low
bluff on which stood the tree that con-
cealed Tarzan. They looked about for
several minutes.
"Here is a good pitice," said the rat
faced sailor, indicating a spot beneath
•Tarzan's tree.
"It is as good as any," replied one
•of his companions. "If they catch as
with the treasure aboard it will be con-
fiscated anyway. We might as Well
bury it here on the chance that some
of es will escape the gallows to enjoy
it later."
The rat faced one now called to the
men who had remained at the boat,
and they Came slowly up the bank
carrying picks and shovels.
"Hurry—you!" cried Snipes.
"Stow It!" retorted one•of the men
in a surly tone. "You're no admiral,
you shrimp!"
"I'm ettp'n here, though, I'll have
you to understand„you swab!" shriek-
ed Snipes with a volley of oaths.
"Steady, boys," enutioned one of the
men who had not spoken before. "It
ain't goin' to get us nothin' by fightin'
among ourselves."
"Right enough," replied the sailor
who bad resented Snipes' autocratic
tones, "But by the same token it ain't
a-goin' to get nobody nothinto pet on
nirs in this bloomin' eompany neither."
"You fellows dig here," said Suipes.
Indicating n spot beneath the tree.
"'And while you're diggin' Peter kin
be a-makin' of a map of the loeation
so's we kin fInd it ngain. You, Tom
and Bill. take a couple more down and
tetcb up the chest."
"Wot are you a-goin' to do?" asked
he of the previous altercation. "Just
'boss?"
"Git busy there!" growled Snipes.
"You didn't think your cap'n was
a-goin' to dig with n shovel, did you?"
The men all looked up angrily. None
of them liked Snipes, and his disagree-
able show of authority since he had
murdered Xing, the real head and ring-
leader of the mutineers, had only add-
ed fuel to the flames of their hatred.
"Do you mean to say that you don't
intend to take a shovel and lend a hand
with this work?" asked Tarrant, the
•sailor who had before spoken.
"No," replied Snipes simply, finger-
ing the butt of his revolver.
"Then," shouted Tarrant, "If you

For a moment the men etteni silently

humor. Then oue of tueiu spoke.
".siorvM the rat jolly well right," be
ettid,
One of tile others comineuced to ply
his plek to the ground. The soil was
soft, and be threw aside the pick and
grasped a shovel; then the others join-
ed him. There was no further comment
on the killing, but the men worked. In
a better frame of mind than they had
since Snipes had asstuned command.
When they had a trench of ample
s;ze' to bury the chest Tarrant suggest-
ed that they enlarge it and inter
Snipes' body on top of the chest.
"It might 'elp fool any as 'appened
to be diggin"erabouts," he explained.
The others saw the cunning of the
suggestion, and so the trench was
lengthened to accommodate the corpse,
and in the center a deeper hole was
excavated for the box, which was first
wrapped in sailcloth and then low-
ered to its place, which brought its
top about a foot below the bottom of
the grave. Earth was shoveled in and
tamped down about the chest until
the bottom of the'grave showed level
and uniform.
Two of the men then rolled the rat
faced corpse unceremoniously into the
grave after first stripping it of its
weapons and various other articles
which the several members of the
party coveted.
They then filled the grave with earth
and tramped upon it until it would
bold no -more.
The balance of the loose earth was
thrown far and wide and a mass of
dead undergrowth spread in as natural
a manner as possible over the new
made grave to obliterate all signs of
the ground having been disturbed.
Their work done, the sailors returned
to the small boat and pulled off rapidly
toward the Arrow.
The breeze had increased consider-
ably. end as the smoke upon the hori-
zon was now plainly discernible in
considerable volume the mutineers lost
no time in getting under full sail and
hearing away toward the southwest.
Tarzan wondered what the chest
they had buried contained. If they
did not wish it why did they not mere-
ly throw It into the water? That would
have been much easier.
Ah, he thought. but they do wish it.
They have hidden it here because they
intend returning for it later.
Ile dropped to the ground and com-
menced to examine the earth about the
excavation. Ile was looking to see if
these creatures had dropped anything
whielt he might Ilke to own. Soon he
diseovered a spade hidden by the un-
derbrush ivhich they had laid upon the
grave.
He seized it and attempted to use it
as be had seen the sailors do, It was
awkward work and hurt his bare feet.
but he persevered until he had partial-
ly uncovered:the body. This he drag-
ged from the grave and laid to one
side.
Then he continued digging until he
had unearthed the chest. This also he
dragged to the side of the corpse.
Then he filled in the smaller hole be-
low the grave, replaced the body and
the earth around and above it, covered
It over with underbrush and returned
to the chest.
Four sailors had sweated beneath
the bnrden of its weight Tarzan of
the apes picked it up as though it had
been etnpty and, with the spade slung
to his back by a piece of' rope, carried
It off into the densest part of the jun-
gle.
He could not well negotiate the trees
with his aWkward burden. but he kept
to the trails and so made fairly good
time.
For several hours he traveled until
be came to an impenetrable wall of
matted and tangled vegetation. Then
he took to the lower branches, and in
another fifteen minutes he emerged
into the amphitheater of the apes.
where they met in council or to cote-
brate the rites of the dtimdUra.
Near the center of the clearing and
not far from the drum, or altar, be
commenced to dig, This was harder
work than tufting up the freshly ex.
melted oath at the grave. but Tarzan
of the apes was persevering. and so be
kept at his labor until he was reward-
ed by seeing a hole enflIciently deep to •
receive the chest and effectually bide
it from viete.

By the time Taman .had hunted his
way back to the vicinity of the cabin,
feeding as he went, it was quite dark.
Within the little building a light was
burning, for Clayton had found an en.

were still ee.able.

CONFIDENCE
Merchants Spend Money

Ely HOLLAND.
VOTIR confidence is an as-
set that every manufac-
turer of reputable goods
seeks. He spends money to
gain it and will tate all nec-
essary Paine to retain it. Your
confidence in the integrity a
a manufacturer, your belief
that goods bearing a certain
brand are always up to stand-
ard, is one of the intangible ;
assets known as "good will"
and which is regarded by a
business man as essential to
his success.
Manufacturers spend mil-
lions telling you about their
goods. They (menet hope to
get this money back by the
first transactions. They must
make you a customer and
keep you a customer. To do
this they,, must make. honest
goods at an honest price.
This accounts for the fact
that advertised goods are al-
ways of high class, It would
not pay to advertise goods
that will not bear rigid test.

West coast of Africa, about 10 degrees
south latitude. (So Mr. Clayton says.)
Febuary 5(7), 1909.
Dearest Teazel—It seems foolish to write
you a letter that `you may never see, but I
simply must tell somebody of our awful
experiences since we sailed from Europe
on the ill fafed Arrow.
If we never return to civilization, as
now seems only too likely, this will at
least prove a brief record of the events
which led up to our fate, whatever it
may be.
As you know, we were supposed to have
set out upon a scientific expedition to the
Kongo. Papa was presumed to entertain
some wondrous theory of an unthinkable
ancient civilization, the remains of which
lay buried somewhere in the Kongo val-
ley. But after we were well under sail
the truth came out.
It seems that an old bookworm who has
a book and curio shop in Baltimore dis-
covered between the leaves of a very old
Spanish manuscript a letter written irt
1750, detailing the adventures of a crew of
mutineers of a Spanish galleon bound from
Spain to South America with a east treas-
ure of "doubloons" and "pieces of eight,"
I suppose, for they certainly sound weird
and piraty.
The writer had been one of the crew,
and the letter was to his son, who was at
the time the letter was written master of
a Spanish merchantman.
Many years had elapsed since the events
the letter narrated had transpired, and the
old man had become a respected citizen of
an obscure Spanish town, but the love of
gold was still so strong upon him that he
risked all to acquaint his son with the
means of attaining fabulous wealth for
them both.
The writer told how when but a week
out from Spain the crew bad mutinied and
murdered every officer and man who op-
posed them. They defeated their own
ends by this very act, for there was none
left competent to navigate a ship at sea.
They were blown hither and thither for

The master of the merchantman as -
eared him that from the poeition at which
they picked him up and the prevailing
winds for the past week he could have
been onno other island than one of the
Cape Verde group, which lie off the west
coast of Africa in about 10 degrees or 17
degrees north latitude.
His letter described the island minutely,
as well as the location of the treasure,
and was accompanied by the crudest, fun-
niest little old map you ever saw, with
trees and rocks all marked by scrawly
X's to show the emiet epot where the
treasure had been buried.
