CHAPTER XXI.
Out of the Fire.
SUDDENLY out of the northeast
a groat black car came careen
ing down the road.
With a jolt It stopped before
the cottage, and a black haired plant
leaped out and ran up on to the iorch.
"Without a pause he rushed into the
house. On the couch lay Clayton. The
man started in surprise, but with a
lound was at the side of the sleeping
man.
Shaking him roughly by the shoul
der, he cried:
"Are you ail mad here? Don t yon
know yon are nearly surrounded by
fire? Where is Miss Torter?"
Clayton sprang to his feet. He did
not recognize the man, but he under
stood the words and was upon the
veranda la a bound.
lie cried out in consternation, then,
dashing back into the house, called:
"Jane! Jane! Where are you?"
In an instant Esmeralda, Professor
Porter and Mr. Fhilander had joined
the two men.
"Where is Miss Jane?" demanded
Clayton, seizing Esmeralda by the
shoulders and shaking her roughly.
"Oh, Marse Clayton, she done gone
for a walk."
"Hasn't she come back yet?"
And without waiting for a reply Clay
ton dashed out Into the yard, followed
by the others.
"WhicTi way did she go?" cried the
black haired giant to Esmeralda.
"Down dat road." cried the fright
ened black. iointing toward the south,
where a mighty wall cf roaring flames
shut out the view.
"Put these people in the other car!"
shouted the stranger to Clayton. "I
saw one as I drove up. Get them out
of here by the north road.
"Leave mv car here. If I find Miss
Porter we shall need it.
one will need it. Do
Clayton hesitated.
Thev saw the lithe

as I say," as
figure bound
away across the clearing toward the
northwest, where the forest still stood,
untouched by tlame.
In each 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. f
"I don't know," replied Clayton. "He
called me by name, and he knew Jane,
for he asked for her, and he called Es
meralda by name."
"There was something most star
tlingly familiar about him." exclaimed
Mr. Philander. "Yet. bless me, I know
I never saw him before."
"Tut, tut!" cried Frofessor Forter.
"Most remarkable! Who could it have
been, and why do I feel that Jane is
safe now that he has set out in search
of herr
"I can't tell you, professor," said
Clayton soberly, "but I know I have
the same uncanny feeling."
"But come," he cried; "we must get
out of here ourselves or we shall be
shut off." And the party hastened to
ward Clayton's machine.
When Jane Pvrter turned to retrace
her steps homeward she was alarmed
to note Low 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 hr way to the west in an effort
to circle around the fianies and regain
her home.
In a short time the futility of her at
tempt became apparent, and then her
one hope lay in retracing her steps to
the road and Hying for Ler 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 had been
cut off before. Jane Torter knew that
it was useless to attempt to force her
way again through the undergrowth.
She had tried it once and failed.
Now she realized that-4t would be but
a matter of minutes ere the whole
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 heard her name being
called aloud through the forest:
"Jane! Jane Porter ! it rang strong
and clear, but in a strange voice.
"Here!" she called in reply. "Here!
In the roadway!"
Then through the branches of the
trees she saw a figure swinging.
A veering of the wind blew a cloud
of smoke about them, and she could no
longer see the man who was speeding
toward her, but suddenly she felt a
great arm about her. Then she was
era-nAo

About Her.
lifted up, and she felt the rushing of
the wind and the occasional brush of
a branch as she was borne along.
She opened her eyes.
Par below her lay the undergrowth
and the hard earth.
About her was the waving foliage of
the forest.
Prom tree to tree swung the giant
figure which bore her, and it seemed
to Jane Porter that she was living
over In a dream the experience that
had been hers in that far African
jungle.
She stole a sudden glance at the
face close to hers, and then she gave
a little frightened gasp. It was he.
"My man!" she murmured. "No; It
is the delirium which precedes death."
"Yes. your man. Jane Forter your
savage, primeval man come out of the
jungle to claim his mate the woman
who ran away from him," be added al
most fiercely.
"I did not run away. she whispered.
"I would only consent to leave when
they had waited a week for you to re
turn." They had come to a point beyond
the fire now. and he had turned back
to the clearing.
Side by side they were walking to
ward the cottage. The wind had
changed once more, and the fire was
burning back upon itself. Another hour
like that and it would be burned out.
"Why did you not return?" she
asked.
"I was nursing D'Arnot. lie was
badly wounded."
"Ah, I knew it!" she exclaimed.
"They said you had gone to join the
blacks that they were your people."
He laughed.
"But you did not believe them?"
"No what shall I call your' she
asked. "What is your name?"
"I was Tarzan of the apes when you
first knew me," he said.
"Tarzan of the apes!" she cried.
"And that was your note I answered
when I left?"
"Yes. Whose did you think it was?"
"I did not know, only that it could
not be yours, for Tarzan of the apes
had written in English, and you could
not understand a word of any lan
guage." Again he laughed.
"It Is a long story, but it was I who
wrote what I could not speak. And
now D'Arnot has made matters worse
by teaching me to speak French in
stead of English.
"Come." he added; "jump into my
car. We must overtake your father.
They are only a little way ahead."
As they drove along he said:
"Then "when you said in your note to
Tarzan of the apes that you loved an
other you might have meant me?"
"I might have." she said simply.
"But in Baltimore oh. bow I have
searched for you they told me joa
would possibly be married by now;

that a man named Canler had coin
tip here to wed you. Is that true?"
"Ye"
, "Do you love him?" " -
i "No."
' "Do you love meT
She buried her face in her hand3.
"I am promised to another. I cannot
answer you. Tarzan of the apes," she
cried.
"You have answered. Now toll me
why you would marry one you do not
love."
"My father owes him money."
Suddenly there came back to Tarzan
the memory of the letter he had read
and the name of Hubert Canler and
the hinted trouble which he had been
unable to understand then.
He smiled.
"If your father had not lost the
treasure you would not feel forced to
keep your promise to this man Cun
ler?" "I conld ask him to release me."
! "And if he refused?"
I "I have given my promise."
"Suppose I should ask him?" ven
tured Tarzan. "Jane Porter, if you
were free would you marry me?"
She did not reply at once, but he
waited ratiently. The girl was trying
to collect her thoughts.
What did she know of this strange
creature at her side? What did he
know of himself ? Who was he? Wh j
were his parents?
Why, his very name echoed his mys
terious origin and his savage life.

husband whose life bad been spent in
the treetops of an African wilderness? i
Could he ever rise to her social sphere?
Could she boar to think of sinking to

"You do not answer." he said. "Do
you shrink from wounding me?"
"I do not know what answer to
make," said Jane Torter sadly. "I do
not know my own mind."
"You do not love me, then?" he asked
In a level tone. ,
i "Do not ask me. You will be hap
pier without me. You were never
meant for the restrictions and conven
tionalities of civilization. It would
become irksome to you. In a little
while you would long for the freedom
of your old life, to which I am as to
tally unfitted as you to mine."
"I think I understand you," he re
plied quietly. "I shall not urge yon.
for I would rather see 30U happy than
to lie happy myself. And I see now
that you could not be happy with an
ape."
There was the faintest tinge of bit
terness in his voice.
"Don't," she remonstrated "don't
say that. You don't understand."
But ere she could go on a sudden
turn in the road brought them into the
midst of a little hamlet.
Before them stood Clayton's car, sur
rounded by the party he had brought
from the cottage.
At the sight of Jane cries of relief
and delight broke from every lip, and
as Tarzau's car stopped beside the
other Professor Porter caught his
daughter in his arms.
For a moment no one noticed Tarzan
sitting silently in his seat.
Clayton was the first to remember
and. turning, held out Lis hand.
"How can we ever thank you?" he
exclaimed. "You have saved us all.
You called me by name at the cottage,
but I do not seem to recall yours,
though there is something very famil
iar about you.
"It is as though I had known you
well under very different conditions a
long time ago."
Tarzan smiled as he took the prof
fered hand.
"You are quite right. M. Clayton." he
said in French. "You will pardon me
if I do not speak to you in English. 1
am just learning it. and, while I un
derstand it fairly well, I speak it very
poorly."
"But who are you?" insisted Clay
ton, speaking in French this time him
Belf. "Tartan of the apes."
Clayton started back in surprise.
"By Jove!" he exclaimed. "It is
true."
Professor Forter and Mr. Philander
pressed forward to add their thanks
to Clayton's and to voice their sur
prise and pleasure at seeing this jungle
friend so far from his savage home. .
The party now entered the modest
little hostelry, where Clayton soon
made arrangements for their enter
tainment. They were sitting in the little, stuffy
parlor when the distant chugging of
an approaching automobile caught
their attention.

the window, looked ont as the- ma-

"Bless me:" said Mr. Philander, a

should be that he was not caurrht in

Is the clerical looking gentleman with
him?"
Jane Forter blanched.
Clayton moved uneasily in his chnir.
Professor Porter moved his spec
tacles nervously and breathed upon
them, but replaced them on his nose
without wiping.
The ubiquitous Esmeralda grunted.
Only Tarzan did not comprehend.
Presently Robert Canler burst into
the room.
"Thank heaven!" he cried. "I fear
ed the worst until I saw your car.
C!ayt.u. I was cut off on the south
road and had to go r.way back to town
and then strike oast to this road. I
thought we'd never reach the cottage."
No one seemed very enthusiastic.
Tarzan eyed Robert Canler as Sabor
eyed his prey.
Jane Porter glanced at him and
coughed nervously.
".Mr. Canler." .she said, "this is M.
Tarzan, an o!d friend."
Canler turned and extended his
hand. Tarzan rose and bowed as only
D'Arnot could have taught a gentle
man to do it. but he did not seem to
ee Canler's hand.
Nor did Canler appear to notice the
oversight.
"This is the Rev. Mr. Tousley, Jane,"'
paid Canier, turning to the clerical par
ty behind him. "Mr. Tousloy, Miss For
ter." Mr. Tousley bowed and beamed.
Canler introduced him to the others.
"We can have the ceremony at once,
Jane," said Canler. "Then you and
I can catch the midnight train in
town."
The girl hesitated. The room was
tense with the silence of taut nerves.
All eyes turned toward Jane Porter,
awaiting her reply.
"Can't we wait a few days?" she
asked. "I urn all unstrung. I have
been through so much today."
Canler felt the hostility that ema
nated from each member of the party.
It made him angry.
"TVe have waited as long 'as I in
tend to wait." he said roughly. "You
have promised to marry me. I shall be
played with no longer. I have the li-

But scarcely had he taken a single
step ere a heavy hand closed upon his
arm with a grip of steel.
Another hand shot to his throat and
in a moment he was being shaken
high above the Coor as a cat might
