Here he I found one of the oMeers with whom •lhe had had an encounter several weeks ivrevious. The policeman was genuine- !ly glad to see again the man who had •;so roughly handled him.

If you can • direct me to his lodgings I shall appre- • elate it." A few minutes later he bade the po- . liceman adieu and, with a slip of paper In his pocket bearing a certain address in a semirespectable quarter, he walk- • ed briskly toward the nearest taxi stand. Rokoff and Paulvitch had returned to stheir rooms and were sitting talking over the probable outcome of the even- . ing's events. They had telephoned to ;the offices of two of the morning pa- •'pers, from which they momentarily ex- •,pected representatives to hear the first r report of the scandal that was to stir ...social Paris on the morrow.

The stnile of welcome froze upon the . 'Russian's face as he looked into the herd, gray eye § of his visitor. "Name of a name:" he shouted, springing to his feet. "What brings you bere?" "Sit down!" said Tarzan so low that . the men could barely catch the words, but in a tone that brought Rokoff to s his chair and 'Kept Paulvitch in his. "You know what bas brought rne here." he continued in the same low tone. "It should be to kill you, but . because you are Olga de Coude's broth- -ler I shall not do that—now.

Rokoff assumed a truculent air, at- tempting hy bravado to• show how lit- -tie he feared Tarzan's threats.

"Nor ever," he repeated hastily. "It is too bad that monsieur has been troubled," said Tarzan, turning to the newspaper man. "I bid monsieur good evening," and he bowed the dap- per young man out of the room and closed the door in his face. An hour later Tarzan, with a rather bulky manuscript in his coat pocket, turned at the door leading from Re- koff's room. "Were I you I should leave France," he said, "for sooner or later I shall find an excuse to kill you that will not in any way compromise your sister." D'Arnot was asleep when Tarzan en- tered their apartments after leaving Rokoff's. Tarzan did not disturb him, but the following morning be narrated the happenings of the previous even- ing, omitting not a single detail. "What a fool I have been," he con- cluded. "De Coude and his wife were both my friends, Bow have I returned their friendship? Barely did I escape murdering the count. I have cast a stigma on the name of a good woman. It is very probeble that 1 have broken up a happy hope." "Do you love Olga de Coude?" asked D'Arnot, "Were I not positive that she does not love me I could not answer your question, Paul, but without disloyalty to her I tell you that I do not love her, nor does she love me. For an instant we were the victims of a sudden madness—it was uot love—and it would have left us unharmed as suddenly as It had come upon us even though De Coude had not returned. As you know, I have bad little experience of women. Olga de Coude Is very beautiful, that and the dim light and the seductive surrounding and the appeal of the de- fenseless for protection might have been resisted by a more civilized man, but my civilization Is not even skin deep—it does not go deeper than my elothes. "Paris is no place for me. I will but continue to stumble into more and more serious pitfalls. The man-made restrictions are irksome. 1 feel always that I ani a prisoner. I cannot endure It, my friend, and so 1 think that 1 shall go back to my own jungle and lead the life that God intended that should lead when he put me there." "Do not take it so to heart, Jean," responded D'Arnot. "You have acquit- ted yourself much better than most 'civilized' men would have under simi- lar eircumstances. As to leaving Paris at this time, I rather think that Raoul de Coude may be expected to have something to say on that subject before long." Nor was D'Arnot mistaken. A week later on M. Flaubert was announced «bout 11 in the morning as D'Arnot and Tarzan were breakfasting. M. Flaubert was an Impressively polite gentlentou. With many low bows be delivered M. le Count de Coude's chal- lenge to M. Tatman. Would monsieur be so very kind as to arrange to have a friend meet M. Flaubert at as early nit hour as convenient that the details might be arranged to the mutual satis- faction of all concerned? Certainly. M. Tarzan would be de. , lighted to place his Interests unreserv- edly in the hands'of his friend, Lieu- tenant D'Arnot. And so it was ar- ranged that D'Arnot was to call an M. Flaubert at 2 that afternoon. and the polite M. Flaubert, with many hows, left them. When they were again alone IYA.ruot looked quizzieally at 'fatten. "Well?" he said. "Now to my sins I naust add murder, or else myself be killed," said Tarzan. "I am progressing rapidly in the ways of my civilized brothers." "Mat weaeoris shall yen select?" asked D'Arnot. "De Coude is accred- ited with being a master:with the sword and a splendid shot." "I might then choose poisoned ar. rows at twenty paces or spears at the same distance," laughed Tarzan, "Make It pistols, Paul." "He will kill you, Jean," "I have no doubt of it," replied Tar - "X must die some day." "We had better make it swords," anld D'Arnot. "HO will be satisfied with wounding you, and there is less danger of a mortal Wound." "Pistols," said Taman, with finality.

His remark was addressed to D'Arnot, In silence they entered D'Arnot's great car, and in similar silence they sped over the dim road that leads to Etampes. Each man was occupied with his own thoughts. D'Arnot's were very mournful, for he was genu- inely fond of Taman. Tarzan of the Apes was wrapped in thoughts of the past, pleasant memo- ries of the happier occasions of his lost jungle life. He recalled the countless boyhood hours that he had spent cross legged upon the table in his dead fa- ther's cabin, his little brown body bent over one of the fascinating picture books from which unaided he had gleaned the secret of the printed lan- guage long before the sounds of hu- man speech fell upon his ears. A. smile of contentment softened his strong face as be thought of that day of days that be had had alone with Jane Por- ter in the heart of his primeval forest Presently his reminiscences were bro- ken in upon by the stopping of the car. They were at their destination. Tar- zan's mind returned to the affairs of the moment. He knew that he was about to die, but there was no fear of death in him. To a denizen of the cruel jungle death is a commonplace. The first law of nature compels them • to cling tenaciously to life—to fight for it—bit it does not teach them to fear • death. D'Arnot and Tarzan were first upon the field of honor. A moment later De Coude, M. Flaubert and a third gentle- man arrived. The last was introduced to D'Arnot and Tarzan. Be was a phy- sician. D'Arnot and M. Flaubert spoke to- gether in whispers for a brief time. The Count de Coude and Tarzan stood apart at opposite sides of the field. D'Arnot and M. Flaubert had exam- ined both pistols. The two men who were to face each other a moment later stood silently while M. Flaubert re- cited the conditions that they were to observe. They were to stand back to back. At a signal from M. Flaubert they were to walk in opposite directions, their pistols banging by their sides. When each had proceeded ten paces D'Arnot was to give the final signal—then they Were to turn and fire at will until one fell or eacla had expended the three shots allowed. While M. Flaubert spoke Tarzan se- lected a cigarette from his case and lighted it. De Coude was the personi- fication of coolness—was not he the • best shot in France? Presently M. Flaubert nodded to D'Arnot and each man placed his prin- cipal in position. "Are you quite ready, gentlemen?" • asked M. Flaubert. "Quite," replied De Coude. Tarzan nodded. M. Flaubert gave the signal. He and D'Arnot stepped back a few paces to be out of the line of fire as the men paced slowly apart. Six! Seven! Eight! There were tears In D'Arnot's eyes. He loved Tarzan very much. Ninel Another pace and the poor lieutenant gave the signal he so hated to give. To him it sounded the dbom of his best friend. Quickly De Ceude wheeled and fired. Tarzan gave a little start. His pistol still dangled at his side. De Conde hesitated, as though waiting to see his • antagonist crumple to the ground. The Frenchman was too experienced a marksman not to know that be had icored a bit. Still Tarzan made no move to raise his pistol. De Coude fired once more, but the attitude of the ape-man—the utter indifference that was so apparent in every line of the nonchalant ease of his giant figure and the even, unruffled puffing of his ciga- rette—bad disconcerted the best marks- man in France. This, time Tarzan did not start, but 'Again De Coude knew that he had hit. i Suddenly the explanation leaped to his mind—his antagonist was coolly taking these terrible chances in the hope that he would receive no stagger - trig wound from any of De Coude's three shots. Then he would take his own time about shooting De Coude down deliberately, coolly and in cold blood. A little shiver ran up the Frenchman's spine, It was fiendish— diabolical. What manner of creattire was this that could steed complacently with two bullets in him, waiting for the third? And so De Coude took careful aim this time, but his nerve was gone, and he made a clean miss. Not once had Tarzan raised his pistol hand from where it bung beside his leg. For a moment the two stood looking ' straight Into each other's eyes. on Tarzan's face wits a pathetic expres- sion of disappointment. On De Coudel a rapidly growing expression of horror terror.

But the time was soon over and be- fore he realized -it Tarzan found him- self abroad again. Several times De Coude had called and when he found that Tarzan was anxious for employ- ment of some nature he Promised to see what could be done to find a berth' for bun. It was the first day that Tarzan was permitted to go out and he received a message from De Coude requesting him to call at the count's office that after- noon. He found De Coude awaiting him with a very pleasant welcome and a sincere congratulation that be was once more upon his feet. Neither bad , ever mentioned the duel or the cause of it since that morning upon the Geld of honor. j "1 think that I have found just the thing for you. M. Tarzau," said the count.

It was tliis information which the government suspected the great power was bartering for with the officer. And so it was that Taman had come to A.Igeria in the guise of an American hunter and traveler to keep a close eye upon Lieutenant Gernols. At Sidi bel Abbes he presented his let- ters of Introduction to both civil and military authorities—letters which gave no clew to the real significance of his 10 ission. Tarzan possessed a • sufficient com- mand of English to enable him to pass among Arabs and Frenchmen as an American, and that was all that was required of it. He met Gernois, whom. he found to be a taciturn, dyspeptic looking tuau of about forty, having lit- tle or no social intercourse with his fel- lows. • For a month nothing of moment oc- purred. Taman was beginning to hope that. after all, the rumor about Ger- nois might have been false when sud- denly the latter was ordered to Bou Saada, in the Petit Sahara, far to the south. A company of spahis and three offi- cers were to relieve another company* already stationed there. Fortunately one of the officers, Captain Gerard, had become an excellent friend of Tarzan's, and so when the ape -man suggested that he should embrace the opportu- ' nity of accompanying him to Bon Saa- .da, where be expected to find hunting, It caused not tlae slightest suspicion. .
