"Do finger prints show racial char- acteristics?" he .asked. "Could you de- , ,•terraine, for example, solely from finger prints whether the subject was negro or Caucasian?" "I think not," replied the officer, "though some claim that those of the •negro are less complex." "Could the finger prints of an ape be detected from those of a man?" "Probably, because tbe ape's would be far simpler than those of the higher -organism." "But a cross between an ape and a man might show the characteristics of either progenitor?" continued Tarzan. "I should think likely," responded the official. "Bot the science has not • progressed sufficiently to render it ex- act enough in such matters. I should hate to trust its findings further ,than - to differentiate between individuals. "There it is absolutely definite. No two people born into the world prob- ably have ever had identical lines upon • all their digits." "Does the comparison require much tirne or labor?" asked D'Arnot. "Ordinarily but n few moments, if the impressions are distinct." D'Arnot drew a little black book -from his pocket and eommene,ed 'turn- ing the pages. Tarzan looked nt tbe book in sur- prise.

A man of about forty, well built and with strong, regular features, stepped out and paying the chauffeur dismissed ann. A moment later the passenger was entering the library of the old home, "Ala Mr. Canler!" exclaimed an old man, rising to greet him). "Good evening, my dear professor," cried the man, extending a cordial hand, "I have come this evening to speak with you about jape. You know mY aspirations, and you have been gen- erous enough to approve my suit" Professor Arebimedes Q. Porter fidgeted in his armchair. The subject always made him uncomfortable. He could not understand why. Canler was a splendid match. "But Jane," continued Canter, "I cannot understand her; She puts me off arst on oue ground and then an- other. I always have the feeling that she breathes a sigh of relief every time I bid her goodby." "Tut tut," said Professor Porter.' "Tut tut, Mr. Canter. Jane is a most obedient daughter. She will do pre- cisely as I tell her." "Then 1 can still count on your sup- port?" asked Canter, a tone of relief marking his voice. "Certainly, sir, certainly," exclaimed Professor Porter. "How could you doubt it?" "There is young Clayton, you know," suggested Calder: "He has been hanging about for Months. I don't know that Jane cares for him. But betides his title they say he has in- terited a very considerable estate from his father. It migat not be strange If he finally won her unless" - Canter paused. , • "Tut, tut. alr..Canier.

"Unless you see fit to request that lane and I be parried at once," said Canter slowly and distinctly. al have already suggested to •Jane :hat It would be desirable." said Pro- n'esor Porter sadly, "for we can no longer afford to keep up this house and ere ns her associations demand." "What was her reply?" "She WO she was not ready to altirry oily one yet." replied Professor Porter: "that we eould go and live mon the farm in northern Wisconsin which her mother left her. It is a lit- tle more than self supporting. Th a ten :tilts have always made a living front it and have been able to send Jane s Mlle each year. "Sbe is planning our going up there the first of the week. • Pbilander and Mr. Clayton have already' gone to get things in readiness for us." "Clayton has gone there!" exclaimed Cattier, visibly chagrined. "Why was tot 1 told? I would gladly have gone aId seen that every comfOrt was pro- Vided." "Jane feels that we are already -too much in your debt, Mr. Canler," said Professor Porter. Cattier was about to eeply when the sound of footsteps came from the hall without, aud Jane Porter eutered the room. "Oh, I beg your pardon!" she ex- ert:tined, pausing ou the threshold. "I thought you were alone, Papa," "It is only I, Jane," said Canter, who had risen, "Won't you come in eta join the group? We were inst speak- , lug of you." "Thank you," said Jane, entering and taking the chnir Canter placed for her. "I only wanted to tell papa that Tobey lins come down from the college to pack his beaks." "I ninst see him at once," cried the professor. "Excuse Inc just a moment." And the old man hastened from the room. AS soon as he was out of earshot Cattier turned to Jane Porter, "See here, Jane," he Said bluntly, "Imw long is this thing to go on like this? You haven't refused to marry .111e, but you haven't promised either. "I Want to get the license tomorrotv so that we can ho married quietly be- fore you leave for WiSeonsin. don't care fot any fuss or feathers, and I'm sure you don't either." The girl turned 001d, but she held het bead bravely. "YOnr father Wishes it, you know," added Carder. "Yes; I 'know." She spoke scarcely above a whisper, "Do you realize that you are buying Me, lafr. Calder," she asked dually and In a cold, level voice -"buying nie fot a fete paltry dollars? Of course you do. And the hope or just such a con- tingency was In your mind when you loaned papa the money for that hare. !gained escapade,. which bu Ofl most mysterious circumstaace would have been successful. "But you, Mr. Cauler, would have been the most surprised. You had no idea that the venter° would -succend, You knew that without security you Ltd a greater hold on the honor of the Porters than with it. You knew the one best way to force me to marry you without seeming to force me. "You have never mentioned the loan, In any other man I should have thongtt that the prompting of a nag. naulanotts and noble character. But you are deep. "I know you better than you think know you. I shall certainly roarry you • if there is no other way, but let us tm derstand each ether once and for all," "You surprise me, Jane," said Can lea "I thought you had more self con- trol,• more pride. Of course you are right. I am buying you, and I knew that you knew it. But I thought you would prefer to pretend that it was otherwise. But bate it your own way," he added lightly. "I nm going to have you. and that is all that inter. ests inc." Without a Word the girl turned and left the room. But Jane Porter W.£1$ not tnarried be- fore she left with her father and Es- meralda for her little Wisconsin farm, As see coldly bade Robert Cattier good - by while the train pulled mit he called to her that he would join them in a week nr two.

"I don't love you, Cecil," she said, "but I respect you. If I must disgrace myself by such a bargain with any man I prefer that it be one I already despise. I should loathe the man to whom I sold myself without love, who- soever he might be. "You will be happier," she conclud. ed, "alone, with my respect and friend- ship, than with tne and My eontempt." Fie did not press the matter further, but if ever a man had mtirder in his heart It Was 'William Cecil Clayton, Lord Greystoke, when, a Week later, Robert Calder drew up before the farmhouse In his purring six 'cylinder. A week passed -a tense though un- eventful week for all. Canler was insistent that Jane marry him at once. At length she gave in from sheer loathing Of the continued and hateful Importuning, ' It Wee agreed that on the morrow Cattier was to drive to town and bring back the license and a clergyman. Clayton had wanted to leave as soon as the plan was announced, but the girl's tired, hopeless look kept Mtn. He cOttid not desert her. Something might happen yet, he tried to console himself by thinking. In his heart he knew that It Would re- quire but a tiny spark to turn his hatred for Cattier into the blood lust of the killer. Early the net Mornitig Caplet Set mit for town. In the east sneak° coald be seen lug low over the forest, for a lire had been raging for a Week not far from them, but the wind still lay in the West and no danger threatened them.

Esmeralda dozed iu the kitchen, and Clayton. heavy eyed after a sleepless night, threw himself doxvn upon the coach in the living room and soon droppea into a RN! slumber. To the east the black smoke clouds rose higher into the heaven. Suddenly. they eddied and then commenced to drift rapidly toward the west. On and on they came. The inmates of the tennnt house were gone, for it was market day, and none there was to see the rapid approach of the fire. Soon the flames had spanned the road to the south and cut off Canter's return. A little fluctuation of the wind now carried the path of the forest fire Slightly to the north, then blew back, and the flames nearly stood still as though held in leash by some master hand. CHAPTER XXI. Out of the Fire. UDDENLY out of the uorthertst a great black car came careen- ing down the road. 'With a jolt it stopped before the cottage, and a black haired giant leaped out and ran up on to the porch. Without a pause he rushed into the house. On the couela lay Clayton. The man started in surmise, but with a bound was at the side of the sleeping man. Shaking him roughly by the shoul- der, he cried: "Are you ail mnd here? Don't you know you are nearly surrounded by fire? Where is Miss Porter?" Clayton sprang to his feet. He did not recognize the man, but he under- stood the words and was upon the veranda in a bound. He cried out in consternation, then, Coughed AlmostAU Night With That Dry Tick - Ring Serisntiora the Tivaat.

Vhey "saw the lithe figure bound away across the clearing toward the northwest, where the forest still stood, untouched by &me. In eacb rose the unaccountable feel- ing that a'great responsibility had been raised from their shoulders, a kind of implicit confidence in the power of the stranger to save the girl if she could be saved, "Who was that?' asked Professor Porter. "I don't know," replied Clayton. "He called me by name, and he knew Jane, for he asked for her, and he called Es- meralde, by name." "There was something tnost star- tlingly familiar about him," exclaimed Mr. Pttlia.nder. "Yet, bless me, I know I never saw Mm before." "Tut, tut!" cried Professor Porter. "Most remark-els/et! Who could ft have been, and why do I feel that Jane is safe now that he has set out in search of her?" "I can't tell you, professor," said Clayton soberly, "hut I 'wow I have the same uncanny feeling." - "But come," he cried; "we must get out of here ourselves or we Shall be shut oft." And the party hastened to- ward Clayton:a machine. When Jane Porter turned to retrace her steps homeward she was alarmed to note how near the smoke of the for- est fire seemed, and as she hastened onward her alarm became almost a. panic when she perceived that the rushing flames were rapidly forcing their way between herself and the cot- tage. At length she was compelled to turn Into the dense thicket and attempt to force het' way to the west in an effort to circle around the fianses and regabh her home. In a short time the futility of her at- tempt becarae apparent, and then hes one hope lay in retracing her steps to the road and flying for her life to the south toward the town, The twenty minutes that It took her to regain the road was all that had been needed to cut off her retreat as effectually as her advance bad been cut off before. Jane Porter knew that It was useless to attempt to force her way again througit the undergrowtb. She had tried it once and failed. Now she realized that it would be but a matter of minutes ere thewhole space between the enemy on the north and the enemy on the south would be a Seething mass of flames, Calmly the girl kneeled down in the dust of the roadway and prayed for strength to meet her fate bravely and to deliver her father and her friends from death. She did not think to pray for deliverance for herself; she knew there was no hope. Suddenly she beard ber IMMO being called aloud through the forest: "Jane! Jane Porter!" it rang strong and clear, but in a strange voice. "Hever" she called in reply. "Here! In the roadway!" Tien through the branches of the trees she saw a figure swinging.

"I can't tell you, professor," said Clayton soberly, "hut I 'wow I have the same uncanny feeling." - "But come," he cried; "we must get out of here ourselves or we Shall be shut oft." And the party hastened to- ward Clayton:a machine. When Jane Porter turned to retrace her steps homeward she was alarmed to note how near the smoke of the for- est fire seemed, and as she hastened onward her alarm became almost a. panic when she perceived that the rushing flames were rapidly forcing their way between herself and the cot- tage. At length she was compelled to turn Into the dense thicket and attempt to force het' way to the west in an effort to circle around the fianses and regabh her home. In a short time the futility of her at- tempt becarae apparent, and then hes one hope lay in retracing her steps to the road and flying for her life to the south toward the town, The twenty minutes that It took her to regain the road was all that had been needed to cut off her retreat as effectually as her advance bad been cut off before. Jane Porter knew that It was useless to attempt to force her way again througit the undergrowtb. She had tried it once and failed. Now she realized that it would be but a matter of minutes ere thewhole space between the enemy on the north and the enemy on the south would be a Seething mass of flames, Calmly the girl kneeled down in the dust of the roadway and prayed for strength to meet her fate bravely and to deliver her father and her friends from death. She did not think to pray for deliverance for herself; she knew there was no hope. Suddenly she beard ber IMMO being called aloud through the forest: "Jane! Jane Porter!" it rang strong and clear, but in a strange voice. "Hever" she called in reply. "Here! In the roadway!" Tien through the branches of the trees she saw a figure swinging. A veering of the wind blew it dotal of smoke about them, and she could no longer see the man wbo was speeding toward her, but suddenly she felt a great arm about her.
