'Never to return!'" muttered D'Ar-
not and threw himself face downward
upon the cot.
An hour later he started up, listen-
ing.
Something was at the door trying to
'enter.
D'Arnot reached for the loaded cats
bine and placed it to his shoulder,
ready for any emergency that might
-arise.
Gently the door, opened until a thin
,erack showed something standing just
'without
D'Arnot sighted along the blue
barrel at the crack of the door and
then pulled the trigger.
When the expedition returned, fol.
lowing their fruitless endeavor to sue-
.eor D'Arnot, Captain Dufranne was
anxious to steam away as quickly as
possible, and.all save Jane Porter had
•acquiesced.
"No," she said determinedly, "I shall
'not go, nor .should you, for there are
two friends in that jungle who will
,come out of it some day expecting to
.find us awaiting them."
"But poor D'Arnot's uniform and all
rhis belongings were found in that vil-
lage, Miss Porter," argued the captain.
The
natives showed great excitement
when questioned as to the white man's
tate."
"But they did not admit that he was
dead. As for his clothes and accouter-
ments being in their possession, more
civilized peoples than these poor sav•-
•age negroes strip their prisoners of
'every orate of value whether they in-
tend killing them or not."
"Possibly your forest man was cap.
lured or killed by the savages," sug-
.gested Captain Dufranne.
The ,girl laughed:,
irs "You do not know him," she ieplied,
:a little thrill of pride setting her nerves
a-tiugle at the thought that she spoke
-of her own.
"I ndmit that he would be worth
.walting for, this superman of yours,"
• laughed the eft ptain. -I most eertairily
-should dilte to see hint. The cruiser
sbnhl wait a few days longer."
"We can utilize the morrow In re-

, ed Mr. Philander.
"Quite so, quite so, Mr. PhIlanaer.
I had almost forgotten the ti•enstire!"
-exclaimed Frofessor Porter. "Possibly
we eau borrow some tnen to assist us
and some of the prisoners to point out
the location of the vilest"
"Most assuredly, my dear professor.
We are all yours to eomtnand," said
.the captain.
It was arranged that on the next day
Lieutenant Charpentier was to take a
-detail of ten men and one of the muti-
neers of the Arrow as a guide and un-
-earth the treasure; also that the cruiser
would remain for a full week in the
little harbor. At the end of that time
It was to be assumed that D'Arnot was
truly dead and that the forest man

Professor Porter did not accompany
the treasure seekers on the following
day, but when he saw them return-
ing empty handed toward noon he has-
tened forward in meet them; his usual
preoccupied indifference entirely van-
ished, and in its place a nervous and
excited manner.
"Where is the treasure?" he cried to

arated them.

"Gone: It cannot be. Who could
have token it?" cried Professor Porte.
"Heaven only knows, professor," re-
plied Clayton. "We might have thought
the fellow who guided us was lying
about the location, but his surprise and
consternation on finding no chest be-
neath the body of Snipes were too real
to be feigned.
"And then our spades showed us
that something had been buried be-
neath the corpse, for a hole had been
there, and it bad been filled with loose
earth."
"But who could have taken it?" re-
peated Professor Porter.
"Suspicion might naturally fall on
the men &Jim cruiser," said Lieuten-
ant Charpentier, "but for the fact that
Sublieutenant Janviers here assures
me that no men have bad shore leave—
that none has been on shore since we
anchored here except under command
of an officer."
"It would never have occurred to me
to suspect the men to whom we owe
so much," replied Professor Porter.
"I would as soon suspect my dear
Clayton here or Mr. Philander."
"There must have been several in
the party," said Jane Porter, who had
joined thetn. "You remember that it
took four men to carry it." -
"By Jove!" cried Clayton. "That'g
right. It must have been done by a
party of blacks. Probably one of them
saw the men bury the chest and then
returned immediately after with a pat-
ty of his friends and carried it off."
"Speculation is futile," said Profes-
sor Porter sadly. "The chest is gone.
We shall never see it more nor the
treasure that was in it."
Only Zane Porter knew what the
loss meant to her father, and none
there knew wbat it meant to her.
Six days later Captain Dufranne an-
nounced that they would sail early on
the morrow.
Jane Porter would have begged for
a further reprieve had it not been that
she, too, had begun to believe that her
forest lover would return no more.
It was she who suggested that arms,
ammunition. supplies and comforts be
left behind in the cabin, ostensibly
for that intangible personality who
had signed himself Tarzan of the apes
and for D'Arnot should he still be
living, but really. she hoped, for her
forest god.
And at the last minute she left a
message for him, to be transmitted by
l'arzan of the apes.
CHAPTER XIX.
The Outpost of the World.
WITH the report of his gun
D'Arnot saw the door fly
open and the figure of a
man pitch headlong within
on to the cabin floor. It was Tarzan.
With a cry of anguish D'Arnot sprang
to the ape man's side and, kneeling,
lifted the black head in his arms, call-
ing Tarzan's name aloud.
There was no response, and then
D'Arnot placed his ear above the
man's heart. To his joy he head its
steady beating beneath.
The bullet had struck a glancing
blow upon the skull. There was an
ugly flesh wound, but no signs of a
fracture of the skull beneath,
D'Arnot breathed a sigh of relief
and went about bathing the blood from
rarzan's face.
Soon the cool water revived him, and
presently he opened his eyes to look
In questioniug surprise at D'Arnot.
The latter had bound the wound
with pieces of cloth, and as he saw
that Tarzan had regained conscious-
ness he rose and, going to the table,
wrote a message, which be handed to
the ape man, explaining the terrible
mistake he had made and how thank-
ful he was that the wound was not
more serious. Then he handed Tarzan
the two measages that bad been left
for him.
Tarzan read the first one through
with a look of sorrow on his face. The

Tarzan at with gaze upon the floor
fin. nearly 1.n hour. It was evident to
Sim from the notes that they did not
• know that he and Tarzan of the apell
were one and the same.
"I have given my heart to another,”
he repeated over and over again to
himself,
For a week they did little but rest.
Meanwhile D'Aruot coacbed Taman in
French, At the end of that time the
two men could converse quite easily.
One night as they were sitting with-
in the cabin before retiring Tarzan
i turned to D'Arnot.
"Where is America?" he said.
D'Arnot pointed toward the north-
we"Many thousnnds of miles across the
ocean," he replied. "Why?"
"I an, going there."
D'Arnot shook his head.
"It is impossible, my friend," he said.
Tarzan thought for a long dine.
"Do any white nlen live in Africa?"
he asked.
• "Yes."
"We shall go there tomorrow," an-
nounced Tarzan.
Again D'Arnot smiled and shook
his head.
"It is too far. We should die long
before we reached them."
"Do you wish to stay here. then, for-
ever?" asked Tarzan.
"No," said D'Arnot.
"Then we shall start tomorrow. I de
not like it here longer. I should rather
die than remain here."
"Well," answered D'Arnot with a
shrug, "I do not know. my friend, bui

that I also would rather die than re

you.,
"It is settled then," said Tarzan,

"How will yoff get to America with-
out money?" asked D'Arnot
"What Is money?" inquired Tarzan.
It took a long time to make him un-
derstand.
"How do Men get money?" he asked
at loot.
"They work for it."
"Very well, I will work fot it."

For days they traveled north, some-
times finding food in plenty and again
going hungry for days.
They saw no signs of natives, not •
were they molested by wild beasts.
Their journey was a miracle of ease.

Then D'Arnot would expostulate
with him, saying:
"You must not eat like a brute, Tar.
zan, while I am trying to make a gen.
tleman of you."
On the journey he told D'Arnot catgut
the great chest he had seen the sailors
bury and how he had dug it up and
carried it to the gathering place of the
apes and buried it there.
"It must be the treasure chest of
Professor Porter," said D'Arnot "It
is too bad, but, of ,course, you did not
know."
Then Tarzan recalled the letter writ-
ten by Jane Porter to her friend, the
one he had stolen when they first came
to his cabin, and now he knew what
was in the chest and what it meant to
Jane Porter.
"Tomorrow we shall go back after
It," he announced to D'Arnot. "You
may go on toward civilization. and 1 -
will return for the treasure. I can go
very much faster alone."
"I have a better plan, Tarzan," ex.I

inamasIble that the ape, Hahn was

I should say, the offspring of highly
bred and intelligent parents. Have yout
not the slightest clew to your past?"
"Not the slightest," replied Tarzan.
"No writing in the cabin that tuight

"I have read everything that was
In the cabin with the exceptiou of one
book, which I know now to be Written
in a language other than English. Pos-
sibly yon can read it."
Tarzan fished the little black diary
from the bottom of his quiver and
banded it to his companion.
D'Arnot glanced at the title page.
"It is the diary of John Clayton,
Lord Greystoke, an English nobleman,
and it Is written in French," he said.
D'Arnot read it aloud. Occasionally
his voice broke, and he was forced to
stop reading for the hopelessness that
spoke between the lines.
Often he glanced at Tarzan, but the
ape man sat upon his haunches like a
carven image, his eyes fixed upon the
ground.
Only when the little babe was men-
tioned did the tone of the diary alter
from the habitual note of despair
which had crept into it by degrees
after the first twO months upon the
shore.
Then the passages were tinged with
a subdued happiness that's -Was even
sadder than the rest.
One entry showed an almost hopeful
spirit'

gers has placed the seal of his tiny an-
ger prints unon th
Upon the margin of the page were
tbe partially blurred imprints of four
wee fingers and the outer half_ of the
thumb.
When D'Arnot had finished the diary
the two men sat in silence for some
minutes.
"Well, Tarzan of the apes, what
think you?" asked D'Arnot "Does not
this little book clear up the mystery of
your parentage? You 'are Lord Grey-
stoke."
Tarzan shook his head.
"The book speaks of but one child,"
he replied. "Its skeleton lay in the
crib, where it died crying for nourish-.
metat, from the first time I entered the
cabin until Professor Porter's party
buried it, with its father and mother,
beside the cabin."
A week later the two men came sud-
denly upon a clearing in the forest. -
In the distance were several build-
ings surrounded by a strong palisade.
Between them and the inclosure
stretched a cultivated field in which a
number of negroes were working.
Taman started straight across the
field, his head high held and the trots -
teal sun beating upon his smooth,
brown skin.
Behind him came D'Arnot, clothed in
some garments which had been dis-
carded at the cabin by Clayton when
the officers of the Drench cruiser had
ffintstehdionhim out in more presentable
I Presently one of the blneks lOoked
up and, beholding Tar= striding to -
Ward him, turned, shrieking, and made
for the palisade.
i In an instant the air was ailed with
cries of terror from the fleeing garden-
ers, but before any had reached the
palisade a white man emerged from
the inclosure, rifle in baud, to discorer
the cause of the commotion.
D'Agnot cried loudly to him:
"Do not fire! We are friends!"
I "Halt, then!" was the reply,
' "Stop, Tarzan!" cried D'Arnot, halt.

"He thinks we are enemies."
• Tarzan dropped Otto a walk, and
together he and D'Arnot advanced to -

The latter eyed them in puzzled be- 4
wilderment. •
"What manner of wen nre you?" he
asked in Freneli.

An -Other Month brought them to a
little group of buildings at the, mouth
of a wide river, and there Taman saw
many boats and was tilled with the
old timidity by the sight of tunny men.
Gradually he became accustomed to
the strange noises ad the odd ways of
civilisation, so that presently none
might know that two short mouths
before this handsome Frenchman In
itnmaculate white ducks, who laughed
and chatted with the gayest of m,
had been swinging naked tIrrouga
primeval forests to pounce upon seine
unwary victim, which, raw, was to
appease les savage appetite.
The knife—and fork. so coutemptu-
ously flung aside a month before, Tar-
zan now manipulated as exunisitely as
did the polished D'Arnot.
So apt a pupil had be been that the
yawls Freedman had labored assidu-
ously to make of 'Tanen 'a polished
gentleman in so far as nicety of mats
ners aucl speech was concerned.
"Heaven made you a gentleman at
heart, my friend," D'Arnot had seid,
"but we want its work to show upon
the exterior also."
As soon as they had-reaehed the lit-
tle port D'Arnot had cabled his gov-
ernment of his safety and requested
a three months' leave, which had been
granted.
Ile also cabled his bankers for
funds, aud the enforced wait of a
month, under which both chafed, was
due to their inability to charter a ves-
sel for the return to Taman's jungle
after the treasure At last. however,
D'Arnot succeeded in chartering an an-
cient tub for the coastwise trip to Tar-
zan's landlocked harbor,
It was a happy morning for them
both when the little vessel weighed an-
chor and made for the open sea.
The trip to the beach was unevent-
ful, and the morning after they drop-

not were passengers on board a French
steamer bound for Lyons, and after a
few days In that city D'Arnot took
Tarzan to Paris.
