THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1914. PLATTSKIOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. PAGE 5. CHAPTER XIX. The Outpost of the World. WITII the report of his pun D'Arnot saw the door fly open and the fijrtire of a man pitch headlong within on to tho cabin floor. It was Tarznn. With a cry of anguish D'Arnot sprang to the npe man's side and., kneeling, lifted the black head In his anus, call ing Tarzan's name aloud. There was no response, and then D'Arnot rlaced his ear above the man's heart. To his Joy ho heard its steady beating beneath. The bullet had struck a glancing blow tJjon the skull. There was an usly flesh wound, but no signs of a fracture of the skull beneath. D'Arnot breathed a sien of relief and went about bathing the blood from Tarzan's face Soon the cool water revived him, and presently he opened his eyes to look in questioning 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 he 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 messages that had been left for him. Tarzan read the first one through with a look of sorrow on his face. The second one he turned over and over, searching for an opening. lie had nev er seen a sealed envelope before. At length he handed it to D'Arnot- The latter opened It and handed the letter back to Tarzan. Sitting on a camp stool, the npe man 1 spread the written sheet before him ! and read: To Tarzan cf the Ar.es: Before I leave lot lit ad J my thanks to those of Mr. Clayton for the kindness you have shown In permitting us the use of your cabin. That you never came to make friends with us has been a gTeat regret to us. We ehouM have liked so much to see and thnnk our host. There Is another I shouM lke to thank also, but he did not come bock, though I cannot bc-Jieve that he is dead. I do not knotv Lis name. He Is the great white plant who wore the diamond locket uron his Ir-renst. If you know him and can Epeak his lan guage carry my thanks to him and tell Mm that I waited seven Cays for him to return. Tell him a!so that in my home in Amer ica. In the city of Baltimore, there will always be a welcome for him If he cares to come. I found a note you wrote me lyir.g among the leaves beneath a tree near the cabin. I do not know how you learned to love rne who have never Fpoken to me, and I am very sorry If it is true, for I have already given my heart to another. Hut I know that I am always your friend. JAXE POUTER. Tnrz.m sat with gaze upon the floor for nearly .un hour. It was evident to him from the notes that they did not know that he and Tarzan ot the upes were one and the saiue. "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'Arnot coached Tarzan 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 beforo retiring Tarzan turned to D'Arnot. "Where is America?" he said. D'Arnot pointed toward the north-west- "Many thousands of miles across the ocean," he replied. "Why?" "I am going there." D'Arnot shook his bead. "It is impossible, my friend." he said. Tarzan thought for a long time. "Do any white men live in Africa?" he asked. "Tes." "We shall go there tomorrow," an nounced Tarzan. Again D'Arnot smiled and 6hook 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 do 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, but that I also would rather die than re main here- If you go I shall go, with you." T'lt is settled then," said Tarzan- "I shall start for America tomorrow." "How will you get to America vith out money?" asked D'Arnot.' "What is money?' inquired Tarzan. It took a long time to make Lira un derstand. "How do men get money?" he asked at last. Q For Days They Traveled. "They work for it." "Very well. 1 will work for it" "Xo. my friend." returned D'Arnot. "you need not worry about money, nor need you work for it. I have enough for two. enough for twenty, much more than is good for one man, and you shall have all you need if ever we reach civilization." So on the following day they start ed north along the shore. Each man carried a carbine and ammunition, be siJes bedding and some food and cook ing utensils. The latter seemed to Tarzan a most useless encumbrance, so he threw his away. "Hut you must learn to eat cooked food, my friend." remonstrated D'Ar not. "No civilized men eat raw flesh." "There will be time enough when I reach civilization." said Tarzan. "I do not like the thlugs. and tbey only sioll the taste of good meat." For days they traveled north, some times finding food in plenty and again going hungry for days. They saw no signs of natives, nor were they molested by wild beasts. Their journey was a miracle of ease. Tarzan asked questions and learned rapidiy. D'Arnot taught him many of the refinements of civilization, even to the use of knife and fork, but some times Tarzan would drop them in dis gust and grasp his food In his strong brown hands, tearing it with his mo lars like a wild beast. 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 about 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 I will return for the treasure. I can go very much faster alone." "I have a better plan, Tarzan," ex claimed D'Arnot. "We shall go on to gether to the nearest settlement, and there we will charter a boat and a!l back down the coast for the treasure. That will be safer and auicker and itlso not require us to be separated. What (io you think of that plan?" "Very well," said Tarzan. "The treasure will be there whenever we go for it. and while I could fetch it now and catch up with you in a moon or two I shall feel safer for you to know that you are not alone on the trail." In one of his talks with D'Arnot Tar zan mentioned Kala, libs ape "mother." "Then j ou' knew your mother,' Tar zan?" asked D'Arnot, in surprise.- "Yes. She was a great, fine ape, larger than I and weighing twice as much." "And you also knew your father?" atked D'Arnot. "I did not know him. Kala told me he was a white ape and hairless like mvself. I know now that he must DC Burroughs Copyright, 1912, by th Frank Am Munsey company. have been a white man. D'Arnot looked long and earnestly at his companion. "Tarzan," he said at length, "it is impossible that the ape, Kala. was your mother. You are pure man and. I should say, the offspring of highly bred and intelligent parents. Have you not the slightest clew to your past?" "Not the slightest," replied Tarzan. "No writing in the cabin that might have told something of the lives of its original inmates?" "I have read everything that was in the cabin with the exception of one book, which I know now to bo written in a language other than English. Pos sibly you can read it." Tarzan fished the little black diary from the bottom of his quiver and handed 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 hfs voice broke, and he was forced to stop reading for the hopelessness that spoke between the lines. Often lie glanced at Tarzan, but the ape man sat upon his haunches like a carven Image, his eyes fixed upon the ground. Only when tho little babo 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 mouths npon the shore. Then the passaces were tintrol with a subdued happiness that was even sadder than the rest. One entry showed an almost hopeful npirlt: Today our little boy is six months old. ITe has grabbed my pen In his chubby fist and with his Ink twgrlmt-d little An gers has placed the seal of his tiny fin ger print3 upon tho page. Upon the margin of the page were the 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 ares, what think your asked D'Arnot. "Does n t 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 ment, from the first time I entered the cabin until Professor Toiler's party buried it. with its father and mother, beside the cabin." A week later the two men came sud denly uion 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. Tarzan started straight across the field, his head high held and tho trop ical sun beating upon his smooth, brown skin. I.ehind hlui came D'Arnot, clothed in some garments which had been dis carded at the cabin by Clayton when the officers of the French cruiser had fitted him out in more presentable fashion. Presently one of the blacks looked up and, beholding Tarzan striding to ward him, turned, shrieking, and made for the palisade. In an instant tho air was filled with cries of terror from the fleeing garden ers, but before any had reached the palisade a white man emerged from the inclosure, ritle in hand, to discover the cause of the commotion. D'Arnot cried loudly to hlra: "Do not fire! We are friends!" "Halt, then!" was the reply. "Stop, Tarzan!" cried D'Arnot, halt ing the ape man in his tracks. "He thinks we are enemies." Tarzan dropped Into a walk, and together he and D'Arnot advanced to ward the white man by the gate. The latter eyed them in puzzled be wilderment. "What manner of men are you?" he asked in French. "White men," replied D'Arnot. "We iave been lost In the jungle for a long time." "I am Father Constantin of the French mission here," said the other. "I am glad to welcome you." ."This is . M. j Tarzan, . Father . Con stantlu," t replied ; D'Arnot. indicating the ape man, and as the priest extend ed his hand to Tarzan D'Arnot added, "And I am Paul d'Arnot of the French navy." Father Constantin took the band which Tarzan extended In imitation of the priest's act, while the latter took in the superb physique and handsome fav in one quick, keen glance. Thus came Tarzan of theapes to the first outpost of civilization. For a week they remained there, and the ape man, keenly observant, learn ed much of the ways of men. while black women sewed upon white duck garments for himself and D'Arnot that they might continue their journey properly clothed- Another month brought them to a little group of buildings at the mouth of a wide river, and there Tarzan saw many boats and was filled with the old timidity by the sight of many men. Gradually he became accustomed to the strange noises and the odd ways of civilization, so that presently none might know that two short months before this handsome Frenchman in Immaculate white ducks, who laughed and chatted with tho gayest of them, had been swinging naked through primeval forests to pounce upon some unwary victim, which, raw, was to appease his savage appetite. The knife and fork, so contemptu ously flung aside a month before, Tar ean now manipulated as exquisitely as did tho polished D'Arnot. So apt a pupil had he been that the young Frenchman had lalored assidu ously to make of Tarzan a polished gentleman in so far as nicety of man ners and speech was concerned. "Heaven made you a gentleman at heart, my friend," D'Arnot had said, "but we want its work to show upon the exterior also." As soon as they had reached the lit tle port D'Arnot had cabled his gov ernment of his safety and requested a three months leave, which had been granted. He also cabled his bankers for funds, and the enforced wait of a month, under which both chafed, was due to their Inability to charter a ves sel for the return to Tarzan'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 ped anchor before the cabin Tarzan. garbed once more in his Jungle regalia and carrying a spade, set out alone for the amphitheater of the apes where lay the treasure. Late the next day ho returned, far ing the great chest upon his shoulders, and at sunrise the little vessel was worked through the harbor's mouth and took up her northward journey. Three weeks later Tarzan and D'Ar not werejiassencers on ltoard n French steamer bound for Lyons, and after a few days in that city D'Arnot took Tarzan to Paris. The npe man was anxious to proceed to America, but D'Arnot insisted that ho must accompany him to Paris first, nor would he divulge the nature of the urgent necessity upon which he based his demand.
