CHAPTER XVIII.
Lost Treasure.
ON the third day after tbe fever
broke Tarzan wrote a uiessape
asking D'Arnot if be felt strong
enough to be carried back to
tbe cabin. Tarzan was as anxious to
go as D'Arnot. for be longed to see
Jane Torter again.
It bad been bard for bim to remain
with tbe Frenchman all these days.
That be bad done so spoke more glow
ingly for bis nobility o( character than
even did bis rescuing of the French
officer from Mbouga's clutches.
D'Arnot was only too willing to at
tempt the Journey.
"Jiut you cannot carry me all the
distance through this tangled forest."
he wrote.
Tarzan laughed.
"Mais oui." he said, and D'Arnot
laughed aloud to hear the phrase that
he. used so often glide from Tarzan's
tongue.
So they set out, D'Arnot marveling;
as bad Clayton and Jane Porter, at
the wondrous' strength and agility of
the ape man.
Slidafternoon brought them to the
Clearing, and as Tarzan dropped to
earth from tbe branches of the last
tree Lis heart leaped and bounded
against his ribs In anticipation of see
ing Jaue Porter so soon again.
No one was in sight without the cab
in. D'Arnot was rerplexed to note
that neither the cruiser nor the Arrow
was at anchor In the bay.
An atmosphere of loneliness pervad
ed the spot which caught suddenly r.t
both men as they strode toward the
cabin.
Tarzan lifted the latch and pushed
the great door in upon its wooden
hinges. It was as they had feared.
The cabin was deserted.
The men turned and looked at one
another. D'Arnot knew that bis peo
ple thought bim dead, but Tarzan
thought only of the woman who had
kissed him in love and now had fled
from him while be was serving one of
her people.
A great bitterness rose in bis heart.
He would go away, far into the Jungle,
and Join his tribe. Never would he
see one of his own kind again, nor
could he bear the thought of returning
to the cabin.
And the Frenchman, D'Arnot. what
of him? He could get along as Tarzan
"No, I shall not go, nor should you."
had. Tarzan did not want to see him
more. He wanted to get away from
everything that might remind him of
Jane Porter.
As Tarzan stood upon the threshold
brooding D'Arnot had entered the cab
in. Many comforts he saw that had
been left behind.
He recognized numerous articles
from the cruiser a camp oven, some
kitchen utensils, a carbine and many
rounds of ammunition, canned foods,
blankets, two chairs and a cot and
several books and periodicals, mostly
American. "They must Intend return
ing." thought D'Arnot.
Ho walked over to the table that
John Clayton had built so many years
before to serve as a desk, and on it he
saw two notes addressed to Tarzan of
the apes.
One was in a strong masculine band
er troa unsealed. The other, in a
woman's hand, "was sealed.
"Here are two messages for yon,
Tarzan of the apes," cried D'Arnot,
turning toward the door, but bis com
17 n
panion was not there.
D'Arnot walked to the door and look
ed out. Tarzan was nowhere In sight,
lie called aloud, but there was no re
sponse. "Mon DIeu!" exclaimed D'Arnot.
"He has left me. I feel It He has
gone back to his Jungle and left me
Lore alone."
Far to the east Tarzan of the apes
was speeding through the middle ter
race back to his tribe. Never had he
traveled with such reckless speed.
He passed above the sinuous, striped
body of Sabor, the tiger, going in the
opposite direction toward the cabin,
thought Tarzan.
What could D'Arnot do against Sa
bor, or If Dolganl, the gorilla, should
come upon him, or Numa, the lion, or
cruel Sheeta?
Tarzan paused in his flight.
"What are you, Tarzan?" he asked
aloud, "an ape or a man?
"If you are an ape you will do ns
the apes would do leave one of your
kind to die In the Jungle If it suited
your whim to go elsewhere.
"If you are a man you will return to
protect your kind. You will not run
away from one of your own people be
cause one of them has run away from
you."
D'Arnot closed the cabin door. lie
was very nervous. Even brave men
and D'Arnot was a brave man are
sometimes frightened by solitude.
He loaded one of the carbines and
placed it within easy reach. Then he
went to the desk and took up the un
sealed letter addressed to Tarzan.
Fosslbly it contained word that his
people had but left the beach tempo
rarily. He felt that It would be no
breach of ethics to read this letter, so
he took the Inclosure from the envel
ope and read:'
To Tarzan of the Apes:
We thank you for the use of your cabin
and are coiry that you did not permit us
the pleasure of seeing and thanking you
in person.
We have harmed nothing, but have left
many things for you which may add to
your comfort and safety here in your
lonely home.
If you know the strange white man who
saved our lives eo many times and brought
us food and If you can converse with him
thank him also for his kindness.
We sail within the hour, never to re
turn, but we wish you and that other
Jungle friend to know that we shall al
ways thank you for what you did for
strangers on your shore and that we
should have done Infinitely more to re
ward you both had you given us the op
portunity. Very respectfully.
WiL CECIL. CLAYTON.
" '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 car
bine and placed it to bis shoulder,
ready for any emergency that might
arise.
Gently the door opened until a thin
crack 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 suc
cor 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
And us awaiting them."
"But poor D'Arnot's uniform and all
his belongings were found In that vil
la ere. Miss Porter," argued the captain.
"The natives showed great excitement
when questioned as to the white man's
fate."
"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 article of value whether they In
tend killing them or not"
"Possibly your forest man was cap
tured or killed by the savages," sug
gested Captain Dufranne.
The girl laughed.
"You do not know him," she replied,
a little thrill of pride setting her nerves
a-tingle at the thought that she spoke
of her own.
"I admit that he would be worth
waiting for, this superman of yours,"
laughed the captain. "I most certainly
should like to see him. The cruiser
shall wait a few days longer."
"We can utilize the morrow in re
covering the chest, professor," suggest
ed Mr. Philander.
"Quite so, quite so, Mr. Philander.
I bad, almost forgotten the treasure!"
Duimughs
Copyright, 1912, by the Frank A.
Munsoy company.
exclaimed Professor Porter. "Possibly
we can borrow some men to assist us
and some of the prisoners to point out
the location of the chest"
"Most assuredly, my denr professor.
We are all yours to command, 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
would not return while they remained.
Then the two vessels were to leave
with all the party.
Professor Porter did not accompany
the treasure seekers on the following
day, but when be saw them return
ing empty banded toward noon be has
tened forward to meet them, bis usual
preoccupied indifference entirely van
ished, and in its plce a nervous and
excited manner.
"Where is the treasure?" be cried to
Clayton while yet a hundred feet sep
arated them.
Clayton shook his head.
"Gone," he said as be neared the
professor.
"Gone! It cannot be. Who could
have taken It?" cried Professor Porter.
"Heaven only knows, professor," re
plied Clayton. "We might have thought
the fellow who guided us was lying
about tbe location, but bis surprise and
consternation on finding no chest be
neath the body of Suipes were too real
to be feigned.
"And then our spades showed us
that something had been buried be
neath the corpse, for a hole bad been
there, and It had been Glled with loose
earth."
"But who could have taken it?" re
peated Professor Porter.
"Suspicion might naturally fall on
the men of the cruiser," said Lieuten
ant Charpentier, "but for the fact that
Sublieutenant Janviers here assures
me that no men have had shore leave
that none has been on shore since we
anchored here except under command
of an officer."
"It would never have occurred to mo
to suspect the men to whom we owe
so much." replied Professor Porter.
"I would as soon suspect ray dear
Clayton here or Mr. Philander."
"There must have been several in
the party." said Jane Porter, who had
Joined them. "You remember that it
took four men to carry it."
"By Jove!" cried Clayton. "That's
right It must have been done by a
party of blacks. Trobably one of them
saw the men bury the chest and then
returned Immediately after with a par
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 Jane Porter knew what tbe
loss meant to her father, and none
there knew what 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. bad 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 tbe last minute she left a
message for him. to be transmitted by
Tarzan of the opes.
