Ithat 'domed before the cify:
if it had seemed a difficult task to
Idescend the face of the bowlder Tar-
1/Zan Won found that it would be next
to impossible to get his fifty warriors
to the summit. Finally the feat was
accomplished by dint of herculean ef-
forts upon the part of the ape -man.
Wen spears were fastened end to end,
and with one end of this remarkable
Chain attached to his waist Tarzan at
last succeeded in reaching the summit.
Once there he drew up one of his
• blacks, and in this way the entire par-
ty Was finally landed in safety upon
the bowlder's top. Immediately Tar-
gan led them to the treasure chamber,
where to each was allotted a load of two
angoto, for each about eighty pounds.
By midnight the entire party stood
1011Ce more at the foot of the bowlder,
ibut with their heavy loads it was mid.
forenoon ere they reached the summit
of the Olis. From there on the home-
ward journey was slow, as these proud
lighting men were unaccustomed to the
,cluties of porters. But they bore their
(burdens uncomplainingly and at the
.end of thirty clays entered their own
.country.
Here, instead of continuing on to -
'ward the northwest and their village,
Tarzan guided them almost directly
.west until on the morning of the thir-
ty-third day he bade them break camp
.and return to their own village, leer -
4411g the gold where they had stacked it
' the previous night.
"And you, Waziri?" they asked.
"I shall remain here for:a few days,
,my children," he replied. "Now hasten
hack to your wives and children."
When they had gone Tarzan gath-
.ered up two of the ingots and, spring-
ing into a tree, ran lightly above the
tangled and impenetrable mass of un.-
-dergrowth for a couple of hundred
yards to emerge suddenly upon a cir-
cular clearing about which the giants
of , the jungle forest towered like a
litguardian host. In the center of this
natural amphitheater was a little, ficte
'topped mound of hard earth.
CHAPTER XXV.
The Fifty Frightful Men.
• UNDUEDS of times before had
Tarzan been to this secluded
spot, which was so densely
• surrounded by thorn bushes
;and tangled vines and creepers of huge
;girth that not even Saber, the tiger,
:could worm his sinuous way within,
nor Tenter, with his giant strength,
force the barriers which protected the
council chamber of the great apes
from all but the harmless denizens of
.the savage jungle.
Fifty trips Tarzan made before he
had deposited all the ingots within the
,precincts of the amphitheater. Then
from the hollow of an ancient, light-
.ning blasted tree he produced the very
-spade with which the bad uncovered
..the chest of Professor Archimedes Q.
Porter, which he had once, apelike,
buried In this selfsame spot. With this
he dug a long trench, into which he
laid the fortune that his blacks had
.carried from the forgotten treasure
vaults of the city of Opar.
That night he slept within the am-
tphitheater, and early the next morning
-set out to revisit his cabin before re-
turning to his Waziri. Finding things
•as'he had left them, he went forth into
the jungle to hunt. Intending to bring
this prey to the cabin where he might
feast in comfort, spending the night
upon a comfortable couch.
For7tire miles toward the south Ise
' •• owned, toward the banks of a fair
-sigerl river that flowed into the sea
About six miles from his cabin. He had
zone inland about half a mile, when
there came suddenly to his trained nos-
trils the one seent that sets the whole
•savage jungle aquiver-TarFan smelled
man.
The wind was blowing off the ocean,
:so Tatman knew that the authors of
the scent were west a him. 'Mixed
)1k with the man scent was the scent of
'Numa. Man and lion! "I had better
:hasten," thought the ape -man, for he
bad recognized the scent of' whites.
"Num may be a-htniting."
When he came through the trees to
the edge of the jungle he saw a wo-
Man kneeling in prayer, 'tad before her
etood a wild, primitive looking, white
.man, his face buried in his arms. Be-
hind the Man a mangy lion was ad-
Vancing aloWly toward this easy prey.,
•he rnah's face was averted; the wo-
man's bowed in prayer. He could not
.eee the features of either.
Already Numa was about to spring.
!There was not n second to Spare.. Tar-
zan could not even unSling his bow
:abd fit an arrow in time to OM one of
this deadly polsOned shafts bate the yet.
iloW hide: lie was tee far away to
!reach the beat in time with his knife.
There was but a single hOpe-a lone
„Siternatirs,_ ,And. with the quickness
of thought the ape -man acted:
A brawny arm flew back -for the
briefest fraction of an instant a huge
spear poised above the giant's shoulder
-and then the mighty arm shot out,
and swift death tore through the in-
tervening leaves, to bury itself in the
heart of the leaping lion, Without a
sound he rolled over at the very feet of
his intended victims -dead.
For a moment neither the man nor
the woman moved. Then the latter
opened her eyes to look with wonder
upon the dead beast behind her com-
panion. As that beautiful head went
up Tarzan of the Apes gave a gasp of
Incredulous astonishment Was he
mad? It could not be the woman he
loved: But, Indeed, it was none other.
And the woman rose and the man
took her in his arms to kiss her, and of
a sudden the ape -man saw red through
a bloody mist of murder, and the old
scar upon his forehead burned scarlet
against his brown hide.
There was a terrible expression upon
his savage face as he fitted a poisoned
shaft to his bow. An ugly light gleam-
ed in those gray eyes as he sighted full
at the back. of the unsuspecting man
beneath him.
For an instant he glanced along the
polished shaft, drawing the bowstring
far back, that the arrow might pierce
through the heart for which it was
aimed.
But be did not release the fatal mes-
senger. Slowly the point of the arrow
drooped. the scar upon the brown fore-
head faded, the bowstring relaxed and
Taman of the Apes with bowed head
turned sadly into the jungle toward
the village of the WazirL
* * * * * * *
For several long minutes Jane Porter
and William Cecil Clayton stood silent-
ly looking at the dead body of the
beast whose prey they had so narrowly
escaped becoming.
The girl was the first to speak again
after her outbreak of Impulsive avowal.
"Who could it have been?" she whis-
pered.
"God knows:" was the man's only
reply.
"If it is a friend, why does he not
show himself?" continued Jane.
"Wouldn't it be well to call out to him
and at least thank him?"
Mechanically Clayton did her bid-
ding, but there was no response.
Jane Porter shuddered. "The mys-
terious jungle!" she murmured. "The
terrible jungle! It renders even the
manifestations of friendship terrify-
ing."
"We had best return to the shelter"
said Clayton. "You will be at least a
little safer there. I am no protection
whatever," he added bitterly.
"Do not say that, William," she has-
tened to urge, acutely sorry for the
wound her words had caused., "You
have done the best you could. You
have been noble and self sacrificing
and brave. It is no fault of yours that
. you are not a superman. There is only
one other mail I have ever known who
could have done more than you. • My
words were ill chosen in the excite-
ment of the reaction. I do not wish to
wound you. All that I wish is that we
may both understand once and for all
that I can never marry you -that such
a marriage would be wicked."
"I think I understand," he replied.
"Let us not speak of it again -at least
until We are back in,civilization."
The next day Theron was worse.
Almost constantly he was in a state of
delirium. They could do nothing to re-
lieve him, nor was Clayton overanx-
ious to attempt anything. On the girrs
account he feared the Russinn-in the
bottom of his heart he hoped the man
would die. The thought that solne-
thing might befall him that would
leave her entirely at the mercy of this
beast caused him greater anxiety than
the Probability that almost certain
death awaited her should she be left
entirely alone upon the outskirts of the
cruel forest.
The Englishman had nixtracted the
heavy spear from the body of the lion,
so that when he went into the forest to
hunt that morning he bad a feeling of
much greater security than at any tittle
since they bad been cast Upon the Say -
age shore. The result was that he pen-
etrated farther from the shelter than
ever before.
TO escape as far as possible from the
mad ravings of the fever strieken Rus-
sian, Jane Porter had descended from
the shelter to the foot of the tree -she
dared not venture farther. Here, b0.
side the crude ladder Clayton had coif-
sttucted for her, she sat loOking out to
sea in the always surviving hope that
a vessel might be sighted.
Her back was toward the jungle, and
so she did not see the geneses Pert or
the savage face that peered from be-
tween. Little, bloodshot, close set eyes
scanned her Intently, roving from time
to time about the open beach for fedi-
catioes of the presence of others.
A Paw Covered Her Mouth to Stifle
Her Screams.

then another and another. ,..The man in
the shelter commenced to rave again,
and the beads disappeared as silently
and as suddenly as they had come.
But soon they were thrust forth once
more as the girl gave no sign of per-
turbfition tit the continued wailing of
the man above.
One by one grotesque forms emerged
from the jungle to creep stealthily
upon the unsuspecting woman. A faint
rustling of the grasses attracted her at-
tention. She turned and at the sight
that confronted her staggered to her
feet, with a little shriek of fear. Then
they closed upon her tvith a rush. Lift-
ing her bodilY in his long, gorilitt-like
arms, one of the creatures turned and
bore her into the jungle. A ffithy paw
covered her mouth to stifle her screams.
Added to the w.eelfs of' torture she had
already undergone the shock was more
than she could withstand. Shattered
nerves collapsed. and she lost con-
sciousness.
When she regained her senses she
found herself In the thiek uf the prime-
val fore -t. It was night. A huge fire
burned brightly in the little clearing in -
which she lay. Altout it.squatted ti rt

When they discovered that their cap,
tive had regained consciousness a piece
of this repulsive stew was tossed to
her from the foul .hand of a nearby
feaster. It rolled close to her side, but
she only closed her eyes as a qualm of
nausea surged through her.
leer many days they traveled through
the dense forest. The girl, footsore
and exhausted, was half dragged, half
pushed through the long, hot, tedious
days. Occasionally, when she would
stumble and fall, she was cuffed, and
kicked by the nearest of the frightful
men. Long before they reached their
Journey's end her shoes had been dis-
Carded-the soles entirely gone. Her
clothes were torn to mere shreds and
tatters, and through the pitiful rags
her once white and tender skin showed
raw and bleeding from coutaet svitli the
thousand pitiless thorns and brambles
through which she hod been dragged.
The last two days of the journey
found her in such titter exhaustion that
no amount of kielting and ;these could
force her to her poor. bleeding feet.

of endurance, and the giri was physi•

As the beasts surrounded her, chat-

goaded her with their cudgels and beat
and kicked her with their fists and
feet. she lay with closed eyes praying
for the merciful death that she knew
alone could give her surcease front suf-
fering. But it did not come. and pres-
ently the fifty frightful men realized
that their victim Wits no longer able to
walk, and so they picked her up and
carried her the balance of the journey.
Late one afternoon she saw the ruin-
ed walls of a mighty city looming be-
fore them, but so weak and sick was
she that it inspired not the faintest
shadow of interest. Wherever they
were bearing her there could be but
one end to her captivity among these
tierce half brutes. .
At last they passed through two great
walls and came to the ruined city
within. Into a crumbling pile they bore
her, and here she was surrounded by
hundreds more of the mune creatures
that had brought her, but aniong them
were females who looked less horrible.

As Tarzan of the Apes' moved slowly
through the jungle after casting the
spear that saved Clayton and Jane
Porter from the savage fangs of Numa,
his mind was tilled with all the sorrow
that belonga to a freshly opened heart
wound.
He was glad that he had stayed his
hand in time to prevent the consumma-
tion of the thing that In the first mad
wave of jealous wrath he had contem-
plated. Only the fraction of a second
had stood between Clayton and death
at the hands of the ape -man. In the
short moment that had elapsed after
he had recognized the girl and her
companion and the relaxing of the
taut muscles that held the poisoned
shaft directed at the Englishman's
heart, Tarzan had been swayed by the
swift and savage impulses of brute life.
He had seen the woman he craved -
his woman -his mate -in the arms of
another. There had been but one course
open to him, according to the fierce
jungle code that guided him in this
other existence, but just before it had
become too late the softer sentiment
of his inherent chivalry had risen
above the flaming fires of his passion
and saved him. A thousand times he
gave thanks that they Lad triumphed
before his fingers had released that
polished arrow.
As he contemplated his return to the
Waziri the idea became repugnant. He
did not wish to see a human being
again. At ]east he would range alone
through the jungle for a time, until the
sharp edge of his sorrow had become
blunted. Like his fellow beasts he
preferred to suffer in silence and alone.
That night he slept again in the am-
phitheater of the apes, and for several
days. he hunted from there, returning
Thought She Would Lose
Her Little Girl
From ?Dame Attacks of Summer
Complaint
Mrs. Wm. Hirst, 191 Palmerston
Avenue, Toronto, Ont., writes us under
date of January 23rd, 1914.
The T. Milburn Co,, Limited,

Dear Sirs :—"Last, summer I had grave
tnsiet.y for my little girl, who wag just
one year old in July last. She had con-
stant and severe attacks of summer
complaint, and it seemed to drag on her
so long despite the many remedies I
tried. My neighbors told Inc she had
grown so weak they thought I would
loose her. One night while nursing her
an old friend of mine happened to come
to see me, and after telling her !rsbout my
baby's littgering illness she asked me to
try Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Straw-
berry. I sent a little girl to our drug
store• and bought a bottle, and after
having given the baby one dose I
noticed a retnarkable change, and after
giviag her three or four doses she was
well again, and began to walk, which
she had not been able to do prior to her
attaek. She is new a fine healthy child,
and I owe her life to that kindly advice
of an old frimd. I would advise all
mothers to give "Dr. Fowler's" a prom-
inent place in their medicine chest.
Yours truly,

At -eight, On the afternoon ef the third
day be returned early. fie had lair'
stretched upon the soft grass of 00
drcular clearing for but a few mo•
ments wheu be beard far to the south
a fmnillar sound. It was the, passing
of a hand of great apes through the
jungle. He could not mistake it, For
several minutes lie lay listening. They
were coming in the directieu of the
aznpifitheater.
Tarzau arose lazily and stretched
himself. Ills keen earls followed every
movement of the advancing tribe,
They were upwind, awl presently he
caught their scent, though he had not
needed this added evidence to assure
him that he WaS right.
As they entered the cleared space
Taman of the Apes melted into the
hraneltes upott the other side of the
arena. There lie waited to inspect the
neweomers. Nor had he long to wait.
Presently a fierce, hairy face appear-
ed among the lower branches opposite
him, The cruel, little eyes took in the
clearing at a glance; then there was a
chattered report returned to those be-
hind. Tarzan could hear the words,
The scout was telling the other mem-
bers of the tribe that the coast was
clear and that they might enter the
amphitheater in safety -
First the lender dropped lightly upon
the soft carpet of the grassy floor, and
then, one by one, nearly a hundred an-
thropoids followed him. There were
the huge adults and several young. A
few nursing babes clung close to the
shaggy necks of their savage mothers.
Taman recognized tnany -members of
the tribe. it was the same into which
he had come as a tiny babe. Many of
the adults had been little apes during
his boyhood. He had frolicked and
played about this very jungle with
them during their brief childhood, He
wondered if they would remen3 ber him -
the memory of the ape is not overlong,
and two years is an eternity to them.
From the talk which be overheard he
learned that they, had come to choose
a new king -their late chief had fallen
a hundred feet beneath a broken limb
to an untimely end.
Tarzan walked to the end of an over-
hanging limb in plain view of them.
The quick eyes of a female caught
sight of him first. With a barking gut-
teral she called the attention of the
others. Several huge btills stood erect
to get a better view of the intruder.
With bared fangs and bristling necks.
they advanced slowly toward him with
deep throated, ominous growls.
"Karnath, I am Tarzan of the Apes,"
said the ape -man in the vernacular of
the tribe. "You remember me. To-
gether we teased Numa when we were
still little apes, throwing sticks. and
nuts at him from the safety of high
branches."
The brute he had addressed "gtopped
with a look of half comprehending, dull
wonderment upon his savage face.
."And Binger," continued Tarzan, ad-
dressing another, "do you not recall
your former king -he who slew the
mighty Kerchak? Look at me! Am
not the same Taman -mighty hunter,
invincible fighter --that you all knew
for many seasons?"
The apes all crowded forward now,
but more in curiosity than threatening.
They muttered among themselves for
a few moments.
"What do you want among us now?"
asked Karnath.
"Only peace," answered the ape -man.
Again the apes conferred. At length
Karnath bpoke again.
"Come In peace, then, Tarzan of the
Apes," he said.
And so Tarzan of the Apes dropped
lightly to the turf into the midst of the
fierce and hideous horde -he had com-
pleted the cycle of evolution and bad
returned to be once again a brute
among brutes.
CHAPTER XXVI.
Tarzan to the Rescue.
THBRE1 were no greetings such
as would have taken place
among men after a separation
of two years. The majority of
the apes went en about the little activ-
ities that the advent of the ape -man
had interrupted, paying no further at-
tention to him than as though be had
not been gone from the tribe at all.
One or two young bulls who had not
been old enough. to remember him si-
dled up on all fours to sniff at him, and
one bared his fangs and growled threat-
eningly. He wished to put Taman im-
mediately into his proper place. Had
Tarzan backed off growling the young
bull would quite probably have been
satisfied, but always after Tarzan's
station among his fellow apes would
have been beneath that of the bull
which had made 111111 step aside.
But Tarzan of the Apes did not back
off. Instead he swung his giant palm
with all the foece of his mighty mus-
cles and. catching the young bull along-
side the head, sent him sprawling
across the turf. The ape was up ad
.at him again in it second, and this time
they closed with tearing fingers and
rending fangs, or nt least that had
been the intention of the young bull.
But scarcely had they gone down,
growling and snapping, than the ape -
man's fingers found the throat of his
antagonist.
Presently the young bull ceased to
struggle and lay quite still. Then Tar-
zan released 14s hold' and arose. He
did not wish to kill, only to teach the
yoting ape and others who might be
watching that Taman of the Apes was
still master. •
The lesson served its purpose -the
young apes kept ott of his Way, as
young apes should when their betters
were about, and the Old bulls made no
attempt to encroach upon bit Prerttga-
tires. For Several days the sh* apes.

that also is a eustont alnoug the apes -
only mad bulls will attack a !nether.
But atter awhile even they became ac-
customed to him.
Ile hunted with them as in days gone
by, and %slim they found that his su-
perior reason guided him to the best
food sourees and that his emitting rope
ensnared toothsome game that they sel-
dom if ever tasted, they came again to
look up to 111111 as they had in the past
after he heti become their king. And
so it was dint berore they lert the atn-.
phitheater to return to their wander -
tugs they bad unce more chosen him as
their leader.
The ape•man felt (mite contented
with his new lot. He was not Leippy-
that he never eould he again, but he
' was at least as far trom everything
that might remind him of his past ails-
ery as he could be. Long since he had
given tip every intention of returning
to civilization. and now he had decided
to see no more of his black friends of
the Waziri. He had forsworn Int-
manity forever. He had started fife an
ape -as an ape he would dle.
He could not, however, erdse from
his memory the fact that the woman
he loved was .within a short journey
of the stampiug ground of bis tribe,
nor could he banish the haunting fear
that she might be constantly in danger.
That she was ill protected be had seen
in the brief instant that had wit-
nessed Clayton's inefficiency. The more
Taman thought of it the more keenly
his conscience pricked him.
Finally he came to loathe himself for
permitting his ONVI1 selfish sorrow and
jealousy to stand between Jane Porter
and sarety. As the days passed the
thing preyed more and more upon his
mind, and lie ha(1 about determined to
return to the coast and place himself
on guard over .1a ue Porter and Clayton
when news !welled hint that altered
111 111:: 1111111S :111(1 sent him dashing
madly toward the east 1E1 reckless dis-
regard of aecident and death.
Before Taman had returned to the
tribe a certain young bull, not being
able to secure a mate from among his
own people bad, according to custom,
fared forth through the wild jungle,
like some knight errant of old, to win
a fair lady from some neighboring
community.
He had bit just returned with his
bride and was narrating his adventures
quickly before he should forget them.
Among other things be told of seeing
a great tribe of strange looking Rpes.
