CHAPTER XXII.
Lord Apeman.
AXE rORTER turned in horrified
surprise toward Tarzan.
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.

In the distant African forest and again

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."
