She pointed to it now, and Tarzan removed It and handed It -to her. She saw that it was the work of a skilled artisan and that the diatnonds were of great brilliancy and superbly riet, but the cutting of them denoted that they were of' a former day. She noticed that the locket opened, .and; pressing the hidden clasp, she saW the two halves spring apart to reveal in either section an ivory miniature. One was of a beautiful woman, and the other might hare been the likeness .of the man who sat beside her except for a 'difference of expression that was scarcely definable. • She looked up at Tarzan to find itim leaning toward her, gazing on the min- iatures with an expression of tiston- ishment. fle reached out his hand for the locket and took it away from her, examining the likenesses within with unmistakable signs of surprise and new interest. His manner clearly denoted that he had never before seen them nor imag- hied that the locket opened. This fact caused Jane Porter to In- dulge in still more speculation, and it taxed her imaginationato picture how this beautiful ornament came into the possession of a wild and, savage crea- ture of the unexplored jungles of Af- rica. Still more wonderful. how did it con- tain the likeness of one who might be . a brother or, more likely, the father of this woodland demigod, Who was • even ignorant of the fact that the locket opened?

The photograph only served to wiz- zie the girl still more, for it was k, evidently another likeness of the saute Ilan whose picture rested in the locket \ieside that of the beautiful young ,1Yorrian.

At length a simple explanation oc- -tarred to her. , The locket had belonged to Lord 'Greystoke, The likenesses were those Her HEART and NERVES - Were So Bad She Could Not Sleep.

She noticed that he was watching her, and, thinking that he wished his .emainent again, she held It out to him. He took it from her, and, taking the chnin in his two hands, he placed it nbout her neck, smiling at her expres- sion of surprise. Jane Porter shook her head vehe- mently and would hare removed the golden links from about her throat, but Tarzan would not let ber. Taking her hands in his. he held them tightly to prevent her. At last she desisted and with a little laugh raised the locket to her lips and, rising, dropped him a little courtesy. Tarzan did not know precisely what she meant, but he guessed correctly that It was her way of' acknowledging the gift, and so he rose, t6o, and, tak- ing the locket. in his hand, stooped gravely like some courtier of old and pressed his lips upon it where hers had rested. It was a stately and gallant little compliment, performed with the grace and dignity of utter unconsciousness of self. It was the ball mark of his aristocratic birth. It was growing dark now, and so they ate again of the fruit which was both food and drink for them, and then Tarzan rose and, leading Jane Porter to the little bower he had erected, mo- tioned' her to go within. For the first time in hours a feeling of fear swept over her, and Tarzan felt her draw away as though shrink- ing from him. To reassure her Tarzan did the only thing he knew. He removed his hunt- ing knife from its sheath and handed It to her hilt first, again motioning. her into the bower. The girl understood, and, taking the long knife, she entered and lay down upon the soft grasses, while Tarzan of the apes stretched himself upon the ground across the entrance. . And thus the rising sun found them in the morning. When Jane Porter awoke, slowly the eircumstances of her position crept one by one into her mind. Then a great wonderment rose in her heart, a mighty wave of thankfulness and gratitude that, though she had been in such terrible danger, yet she was un - ;lamed. She moved to the entrance of' the shelter to look for Taman. He was gone. But this time no fear assailed her, for she knew that he would re- turn. In the grass at the entrance to her bower she saw the imprint of his body where he had lain all night to guard :ter. She knew that the fact that he had been there was all that had per- mitted her to sleep in such peaceful security. She looked up to see his lithe form drop softly from a nearby tree. As he taught her eyes upon him his face lighted with that frank and radiant smile that had won her confidence the day before. As be approached her Jane Porter's heart beat faster and her eyes bright- ened as they had never done before at the approach of any man. He had again been gathering fruit, which he laid at the entrance of her bower. Onto more they sat doven to- gether to eat. Jane Porter commenced to wonder what his plans Were. Would he take her back to the beach, or woUld he keep her here? Suddenly she realized that the matter did not seem to give her much concern. Conid it be that she did not care! She could not understand it. Her reason told her that she should be torn by wild nnxieties. Instead, her heart was singing, When they had finished their break- fast Tarzan Went to her bower end recovered his knife. Motioning her to follow.

There was but one thing to do--rnake camp where they were until daylight. This work was not completed until long after dark, the men building a huge fire in the center of the clearing to give them light to work by. When all was as safe as could be made from the attack of wild beasts and savage men Lieutenant Charpen- tier placed senttdes about the little camp, and the tired and hungry men threw themselves upon the ground to sleep. The groans of the wounded, min- gled with the roaring and growling of the great beasts, kept sleep except in its most fitful form from the tired eyes. It was a sad and hungry party that lay through the long night pray- ing for dawn. The blacks who had seized D'Arnol had not waited to participate in the fight. They hurried their prisonet along, the sounds of battle growing fainter and fainter as they drew away from the contestants until there sad• clenly broke upon D'Arnot's vision a good sized clearing, at one ' end of which stood a thatched and palisaded village. A cry went up within the palisade, A great throng of women and children rushed out to meet the party. And then began for the French offi- cer the most terrifying experience Which Man can eucounter upon earth— the reception of a white prisoner into a village of African cannibals. They fell upon D'Arnot tooth and nail, beating him with sticks and stones and tearing at him witb claw- like hands. Every vestige of clothing was torn from him, aud the merciless blows fell upon his bare and quivering flesh. But not once did the Frenchman cry out in path. A silent prayer rose that he be quickly delivered from his tor- ture. Tbe death he prayed for was not to be so easily had. Soon the warriors hnm. eat.the women away from their pris- oHe was to be saved for nobler sport than this, and, the first wave of their passion having subsided, they content- ed themselves with crying out taunts and insults and spitting upon him. Presently they gained the ("enter of the village. There D'Arnet was bound securely to the great post from whicli no live man had ever beep released. A number of the women scattered to their several bets to fetch pots and water, while others built a row of Gres on which portions of the feast were to be boiled. The festivities were delayed. await- ing the return of the warriors who had remained to engage in the skirmish with the white men, so that it was quite late when all were in the village and the dance of' death commenced to circle around the doomed officer. Half fainting from pain and exhaus- tion, D'Arnot watched what seemed but a vagary of delirium or some hor- rid nightmare from which be must soon awake. He closed his eyes and held his teeth firm set. Ile would not cry out.. He was it soldier of France, and he would teach these beasts how an offi- cer and a gentleman died. Tarzan of the apes needed no inter- preter to translate the story of those distant shots, With JanePorter's kisses still warm upon his lips he was swinging with incredible rapidity through the forest trees straight to- ward the village of Mbonga. He *as not interested in the loca- tion of the encounter, for he judged. that that would soon be over. Those who were killed he could not aid; those who escaped would not need his as- sistance. It was to those who had neither been killed nor escaped that he hastened. And he knew that he could find them by the great post in the center of Mbonga's village. Many times had Tarzan seen Mbon- ga's black raiding parties return from the northward with prisoners, and al- ways were the same scenes enacted about that grim stake, beneath the flaring light of many fires. Tarzan had looked with complacency upon their former orgies, only occa- sionally Interfering for the pleasure of baiting the blacks. But heretofore their victims had been men Of their own color. Tonight it was different. White men, men of Tarzan's own race, might be even now Wafering the agonies of tortUre. On he sped. In a few minutes .he swung into the trees above Mbonga's village.

Tama o coiled his rope. Then there rose suddenly above the fiendish cries of the dancing demons the awful challenge of the ape man. The dancers halted as though turned to stone. The rope sped with it sing- ing whir high above the heads of the blacks. It was quite invisible in the flaring lights of the campfires. D'Arnot opened his eyes. A huge black, standing directly be- fore him, lunged backward as though felled by an invisible hand. Struggling and shrieking; his body, rolling from side to side, moved quick- ly toward the shadows beneath the trees. The blacks, their eyes protrud- ing in horror, watched spellbound. Once beneath the trees the body rose straight into the air, and as it disap- peared into the foliage above the ter- rified neg.roes, screaming with fright, broke into a mad race for the village gate. D'Arnot was left alone. He was a breve man, but he had felt the short hairs bristle upon the nape of his neek wheu that uncanny cry rose iipon the nir.

Some new creature of torture and destruction doubtless. D'Arnot waited. His eyes never left the face of the advancing man. ; The frank, clear eyes did not waver beneath his fixed gaze. D'Arnot was reassured, but still without much hope, though he felt that that face could not mask a cruel heart Without a word Tarzan of the apes cut the bonds which held the French. man.

There himself lifted from the There was a sensation as of flying, and then he lost consciousness. * * * * * * When dawn broke upon the little camp of Frenchmen in the heart of the jungle it found a sad and disheart. ened g,roup. As soon as it was light enough to see their Surroundings Lieutenant Char- pentier sent men in groups of three in several directions to locate the trail, and In ten minutes it was found, and the expedtion was hurrying back to- ward the beach. It was slow work, for they bore the bodies of six dead men, two more hav- ing succumbed during the night, and iseveral of those who were wounded required support to metre even very slowly. Charpentier had decided to rettirn to catnp for re-enforeenients and then make an attempt to track down the natives and rescue D'Arnek It was late in the afternoon when the exhausted men rertvlied the clear, Mg by the beaeh, but for two of them the return brought so great a happi- ness that all their suffering and heart- breaking grief were forgotten oh the Jostent.
