And as she looked into his face she saw the crimson band upon forehead that she had seen that other day in far distant Africa when Tarzan of the apes had closed in mortal combat with the great anthropoid. Ter koz. She knew that murder lay in that savage heart, and with a little cry of horror she sprang forward to plead with the ape man. lint her'fears were more for Tarzan than for Canier. She : She Sprang Forward to Plead With the Ape Man. realized the stern retribution which Justice metes to the murderer. She laid a firm white hand upon Tarzan'3 wrist and looked up into his eyes. "For my sake." she said. The grasp upon Canler's throat re laxed. Tarzan looked Into the face before him. -Do you wish this to live?" he asked in surprise. "I do not "wish him to die at your hands, my friend." she replied. "I do cot wish you to become a murderer." Tarzan removed his hand from Can ler's throat. "Do you release her from her prom ise? he asked. "It is the rriee of your life." Canler, gasping for breath, nodded. "Will you go away and never molest her further?" Again the man nodded his head, his face distorted by fear of the death that had been so close. Tarzan released him. and Canler staggered toward the door. In another moment he was gone and the terror stricken preacher with him. Tarzan turned toward Jane Porter. "May I speak with you for a moment alone?" he asked. The girl nodded and started toward the door leading to the narrow veranda of the little hotel. She passed out to await Tarzan and so did not hear the conversation which followed. "Wait!" cried Trofessor "Porter as Tarzan was about to follow. The professor had been stricken dumb with surprise by the rapid devel opments of the past few minutes. 44 Before we go further, sir, I should like an explanation of the events which have Just transpired. T.y what ritrht. sir, dil you interfere letween my daughter and Sir. Canler? I tad promised him her hand. sir. and regardless of our personal likes or dis likes, sir, that promise must be kept. "I interfered Professor Porter." re plied Tarzan, "because your daughter does not love "Mr. Canler. She does not wish to marry Lim. That is enough for me to know." "You do not know what you have done," said Trofessor Torter. "Now he will doubtless refuse to marry her." "lie most certainly will," said Tar zan emphatically. '.'And further." ad.'.ed Tarzan. "you Deed not fear that jftur pride will suf fer. Professor Torter, for you will be able to pay Canler what you owe him the moment you reach home." "Tut, tut. sir!" exclaimed Professor) Porter. "What do you mean?" "Your treasure has been found," said Tarzan. r - . r - IB "What what is that you are say ing?" cried the professor. "You are mad. It cannot be." "It is. though. It was I who stole it, not knowing either its value or to whom it belonged. I saw the sailors bury it, and apelike I had to dig it up and bury it again elsewhere. rWheu I?Arnot toi J me what it was and what it meant to you I returned to the jungle and recovered it. It had caused so much crime and suffering and sorrow that D'Arnot thought It best not to attempt to bring the treas ure itself on here, as had been my in tention, so I have brought a letter of credit instead. "Here it is. Trofessor Forter." Tar zan drew an envelope from his pocket and handed it to the astonished pro fessor. "Two hundred and forty-one thousand dollars." "To the already great burden of the obligations we owe you, sir." said Pro fessor Porter with trembling voice, "is now added this greatest of all services. You have given me the means to save my honor." Clayton, who had left the room after Canler, now returned. "Pardon me," Le said. "I think we had better try to reach town lefore dark and take the first train out of this forest. A native just rede by from the north, who reports that the fire is mov ing slowly in this direction." This announcement broke up further conversation, and the entire part" went out to the waiting machines. Clayton, villi Jane Porter, the pro fessor and Esmeralda, occupied Clay ton's car. while Tarzan took Mr. Phi lander with him. "Mr. Philander, do you recall the do tails of the finding and burying of three skeletons found in my cabin be side that African jungle?" asked Tar zan. 'Very distinctly, sir: very distinct ly." rep'.ied Mr. Philander. "Was there anything peculiar about any of those skeletons? It means a great deal to me to know." said Tar zan. "Your answer may clear up a mystery. It can do no worse, at any rate, than to leave it still a mystery. 1 have been entertaining a theory con cerning those skeletons for the past two months, and 1 want you to answer my question to the best of your knowl edgewere the three skeletons you buried all human skeletons?" Mr. Philander eyed Tarzan narrowly. "Xo." said he. "the smallest one. the one found lu the crib, was the skeleton of an anthropoid ape." "Thank you." said Tarzan. In the car ahead Jane Torter was thinking fast and furiously. She had felt the purpose for which Tarzan had asked a few words with her, and she knew that she must be prepared to give him an answer In the very near future. He was not the sort of person one could put off. and somehow that very thought made her wonder if she did not really fear him. Could she love where she feared? She realized the spell that had been upon her in the depths of that faroJT Jungle, but there was no spell of en chantment now in prosaic Wisconsin. Nor did the immaculate young Frenchman appeal to the primal wo man in her, as had the stalwart forest god. Did she love him? She did not know now. She glanced at Clayton out of the corner of her eye. Was not here a man trained in the same school of en vironment in which she had been train ed, with position and culture such as she had been taught to consider as the essentials to congenial association? Did not her best judgment point to this young English nobleman whose love she knew to be of the sort a civi lized woman should crave as the logical mate for such as she? Could she love Clayton? She could see no reason why she could not. She was not calculating by nature, but training, environment and heredity had all combined to teach "her to reason even In matters of the heart.

Munsey company. feet bv the strensrth of tlie younir slant when his great arms were about her In the distant African forest and again today, in the Wisconsin woods, seemed to her only attributable to a temporary mental reversion to type on her part, to the appeal of the primeval man to the primeval woman in her nature. If b should never touch her atrain. she reasoned, she would never feel at tracted toward him. She had not loved him, then. It had been nothing more than a hallucination induced by excite ment and by personal contact. Excitement would not always mark their future relations should she marry him. and the power of personal contact would be dulled by famili.iri?-. Again she glanced at Clayton. He was very handsome and every inch m gentleman. She should be very pr-o -1 of such a husband. And then he spoke a minute soorn-i or a minute later might have made a!! the difference in the world to threi lives. Rut chance stepped ia nur pointed ot to Clayton the psychologi cal moment. "You are free now. Jane," he said. "Won't you say 'Yes? I will devote my life to making you very happy." "Yes." she whispered. That evening, in the little waiting room at the station. Tarzan caught Jane Porter alone for a moment. "You are free now, Jane," he said, "and I have come across the ages out of the past from the lair of the prime val man to claim you. For your sake I have become civilized for your sake I have crossed oceans and continents for your sake I will be whatever you will me to be. I can make you happy. Jane, in the life you know and love best. Will you marry me?" For the first time she realised the depths of the man's love all that lie had accomplished in so short a time solely for love of her. Turning her head, she buried her face in her arms. What had she done? Decause she had been afraid she might succumb to the pleas of this giant she had burned her bridges behind her. In hor ground less apprehension that she might make a terrible mistake she had made a worse one. And then she told him the truth, word by word, without attempting to shield herself or condone her error. "What can we do?" he asked. "You have admitted that you love me. You know that I love you. but I do not know the ethics of society by which you are governed. I shall leave the decision to you, for you know best what will be for your eventual wel fare." "I cannot tell him. Tarzan," she said. "He. too. loves me. and he is a good man. I could never face you nor any other honest person if I re pudiated my promise. "I shall have to keep it. And you must help me bear the burden, though we may not see each ether again after tonight." The others were entering the room, and Tarzan turned toward the little window. With the ethers came the station agent, who entered, asking If there was a gentleman of the name of Tarzan in the party. "I am Tarzan," said the ape man. "Here is a message for you, for warded from Baltimore. It is a cable gram from Paris." Tarzan took the envelope and tore it open. The message was from D'Arnot. It read: Flnper prints rrove you Greystoke. Con gratulations. D'ARNOT. As Tarzan finished reading Clayton entered and came toward him with extended hand. Here was the man who had Tarzan's title and Tarzan's estates and was go ing to marry the woman whom Tar zan loved the woman who loved Tar xan. A single word would make a great difference in this man's life. It would take away his title and his lands and his castles, and it would take them away from Jane Porter also. "1 say. old man." cried Clayton, "I haven't had a chance to thank you for all you've done for us. It seems as though you had your hands full saving our lives in Africa an J here. "I'm awfully glad you came on. We must get better acquainted. I often thought about you. you know, and the remarkable circumstances of your en vironment If it's any of my business, how did yon ever get Into that jun gle?" "I don't know." said Tarzan quietly. "1 was born there. My mother was an ape. and. of course, she couldn't tell me anything about it. I never knew who my father was." THE E?CD.
