an English lord by ancestry and

him out and made him a civilized
man after twenty . years of life
among the great apes of Africa.
Ms adventures, as wonderful and
interesting as any set forth in
words, have been the center of
interest in a story that is unique
in its originality.
l'Jow we have "The Return of
Tarzan," as thrilling as its fore

ape-man, who at last wins his
way to the side of his true love
after facing countless perils by
land and sea.

CHAPTER XIII.
Ships That Pass.
CLAYTON staggered as though he
had received a mortal How.
Just then he heard the others
calling to him to hurry the
train was coming to a stop at the little
p!alfrin. Like a man dazed he path-
red up his ulster. He would tell them
;ihout the cablegram when they were
on the train. Then he ran out upon
the platform just as the enprir.e whis
tled twice in the final warning that
precedes the first rumbling jerk of coup
ling pins. The others were on board.
Jeanir.s cut from the platform of a
1'uliman, crying to him to hurry. Quite
live minutes elapsed before they were
srttled in their seat, nor was it until
then that Clayton discovered that Tar
zan was not with them.
"Where is Tarzan?" he asked Jane
I'orter. "In another car?"
Xo." she replied; "at the last min
ute he determined to drive his machine
back to New York. He is anxious to
.e more of America than is possible
from a car window, lie is returning
to France, you know."
Clayton did not reply. He was try
ing to find the ritrht words to explain
to J;ine I'orter the calamity that had
befallen him and her. He wondered
jut what the effect of this knowledge
would be on her. Would she still wish
to marry him to be plain Mrs. Clay
ton? Suddenly the awful sacri5ce
whi h one of them must make loomed
lare before his imagination. Then
came the question. Will Tarzan clsim
Lis own? The ape-man had known the
-ontents of the message before he calm
ly denied knowledge of his parentage.
He had admitted that Kala. the ape,
was his mother. Could it have been
for love of J:ine Torter?
Was it not reasonable to nssume that
be meant never to claim his birthright?
If this were so. what right had he,
William Cecil Clayton, to thwart the
wishes, to balk the self sacrifice of this
strange man? If Tarzan of the Apes
could d this thins to save Jane Tor
tor from unhappiness. why should lie.
to whose care she was intrusting her
whole future, do nnht to jeopardize
her interests?
And so he reasoned until the first
prne:-o!is impulse to proclaim the truth
and relinqni-h his titles and his estates
to thMr rightful owner was forgotten
l-ne:it!i the mass of sophistries which
e!f ifiterest had advanced. But during
the balance of the trip and for many
days hereafter lie w as moody and dis
traught. Vca-ional!y the thought ob
truded itself that possibly at some later
Iay Tarzan would recret bis magna
ri "ity and claim his rights.
Several .days after they reached Bal
timore Clayton broached the subject of
mi early marriage to Jane.
What do you mean by early?" she
asked.
"Within the next few days. I must
return to Knzland at once I want you
to return with me. dear."
I can't pet ready so soou ns that."
replied Jane. "It will take a whole
mouth at least."
She, was glad, for she hoped that
w-fiat ever called him to Ku gland might
MiM further delay the wedding. She
had made a bad bargain, but she in
tended carrying her part loyally to the

disappointed, but I shall let my trip to
England wait a month. Then we can
p) baok to?ctuer."
But when the month was drawing to
n close she found still another excuse
U'-" .
1 until at last, discouraged and doubting.
Clayton was forced to go back to Eng
land alone.
The several letters that passed be
tween them brought Clayton no nearer
to a consummation of his hopes than
he had been before, and so it was that
he wrote directly to Trofessor I'orter
and enlisted his services. The old
man had always favcred the match,
no liked Clayton, and. being of an old
southern family, he put rather an ex
eggerated value on the advantages of
a tiile. which meant little or nothing
to his daughter.
Clayton i.rged that the professor ac
cept his invitation to be his guest in
London, an invitation which included
the professor's entire little family
Mr. I'hilander. Lsmeralda and all.
The Englishman argued that once
Jane was there and home ties had
been broken she would not so dread
the step which she had so long hesi
tated to take. So the evening that he
received Clayton's letter Professor
Porter announced that they would
leave for London the followinp week.
But once In London Jane Porter was
no more tractable than she had been in
Baltimore. She found one excuse after
another, and when finally Lord Teu
nington invited the party to cruise
around Africa in his yacht she ex
pressed the greatest delight in the
idea, but absolutely refused to be mar
ried until they had returned to Lon
don. As the trip was to consume a
year at least, for they were to stop for
indefinite periods at various points of
interest, Claytou mentally anathema
tized Tennington for ever suggesting
such a ridiculous trip.
It was Lord Tennington's plan to
cruise through the Mediterranean and
the Ued sea to the Indian ocean and
thus down the east coast, putting in at
every port that was worth the seeing.
And so it happened that on a certain
day two vessels passed in the strait of
Gibraltar. The smaller, a trim white
yacht, was speeding toward the east,
and on her deck sat a young woman
who gazed with sad eyes upon a dia
mond studded locket which she idly
fingered. Her thoughts were far away
in the dim, leafy fastness of a tropical
jungle, and her heart was with her
thoughts.
She wondered if the man who had
given her the beautiful bauble, that had
meant so much more to him than the
intrinsic value which he had i:ot even
known could ever have meant to him,
was back in his savage forest.
And upon the deck of the larger ves
sel, a passenger steamer, also passing
toward the east, the man sat with an
other young woman, and the two idly
speculated upon the identity of the
dainty craft gliding so gracefully
through, the gentle swell of the lazy
sea.
When the yacht had passed the man
resumed the conversation that her ap
nea ranee had broken off.
"Yes," he said. "I like America very
much. I met some very delightful peo
ple while I was there. I recall one
family from your own city. Miss
Strong, whom 1 liked particularly
Professor Torter and bis daughter."
"Jane Porter!" exclaimed the girl.
"Do you mean to tell me that you
know Jane Porter? Why. she is the
very best friend I have in the world.
We are as dear to each other as sis
ters, and now that 1 am going to lose
her I am almost heartbroken."
"Going to lose her!" exclaimed Tar
zan. "Why. what do you mean? Oh.
yes. I understand. You mean that
now that she is married and living in
England you will seldom, if ever, see
her."
"Yes." replied the girl. "And the
saddest part of it all is that she is not
marrying the man she loves. Oh. it is
terrible! Marrying from a sense of
duty! I thiuk it is perfectly wicked,
and I told her so. But Jane Porter has
convinced herself that she is doing the
only honorable thing that she can do.
and nothing in the world will prevent
her from marrying Lord Greystoke ex
cept Greystoke himself or death."
"I am sorry for her." said Tarzan.
"And I am sorry for the man she
loves." said the girl, "for be loves her.
I never met him. but from what Jaue
tells me he must be a very wonderful
person. It seems that he was born in
an Africau Jungle and brought up by
fierce, anthropoid apes. He had never
seen a white man or woman until Pro
fessor I'orter and his party were ma
rooned on the coast rlgtit at the thresh
old of his tiny cabin. He saved them
from all manner of terrible beasts and
accomplished the most wonderful feats
imaginable, and then to cap the climax
he fell In love with Jane and she with
him. though she never really knew it
for sure until she had promised herself
to Lord Grejstofce."
"Most remarkable," murmured Tar
zan. cudgeling his brain for some pre
text upon which to turn the subject.
He delighted in hearing Hazel Strong
talk of Jane, but when he was the
subject of the conversation he was
bored and embarrassed. But he was
soon given a respite, for the girl's
mother joined them and the talk be
came general.
The next few days passed unevent
fully. The sea was quiet. The sky
was clear. The steamer plowed stead
ily on toward the south without pause.
One day Tarzan found Miss Strong in
conversation with a stranger, a man
he had not seen on board before. As
he approached the couple the man bow-t-d
to the girl and turned to walk away.
"Wait. M. Thuran." said Miss Strong.
ou must meet Mr. Caldwell. We are
all fellow passengers and should be ac
quainted." The two men shook hands. As Tar
zan looked into the eyes of M. Thuran
he was struck by the strange familiar
ity of their expression.
M. Thuran appeared ill at east. Tar
zan paid little heed to the conversation
that ensued he was attempting to re
call where he had met M. Thuran be
fore. That it had been under peculiar
rircumstances he was positive. Pres
ently the sun reached them and the
girl asked M. Thuran to move her
chair-further back into the shade. Tar
zan happened to be watching the man
at the time and noticed the awkward
manner in which he handled the chair
-his left wrist was stiff. That clew
was sufficient a sudden train of asso
ciated ideas did the rest.
M. Thuran had been trying to find an
excuse to make a graceful departure.
1 he lull in the conversation following
the moving of their position gave him
an opportunity to make his excuses.
Bowing low to Miss Strong and in
clining his head to Tarzan. be turned
to leave them.
"Just a moment.' said Tarzan. "If
!is Srrong will pardon me 1 will ac
company you. I shall return in a mo
ment. Miss Strong."
M. Thuran looked uncomfortable.
When the two men bad passed out of
the girl's sight. Tarzan stopped, laying
a heavy hand on the other's shoulder.
"What is your game now, Rokoff?"
he asked.
"I am leaving France as I promised
you." replied the other in a surly voice.
"I see you are," said Tarzan, "but I
1 know j-ou so well that I can scarcely
believe that your beiug on the same
boat with me is purely a coincidence.
If I could believe it the fact that you
are in disguise would immediately dis
abuse my tuiud of any such idea."
"Well," growled IJokoff with a shrug.
"I cannot see what you are going to
do about it. The vessel flies the Eng
lish flag. I have as much right on
board her as you. and from the fact
that you are booked under an assumed
name I imagine that I have more
right."
"We will not discuss it. Rokoff. All
I wanted to say to yon is that you must
keep away from Miss Strong she is a
decent woman."
Kokoff turned scarlet
"If you don't I shall pitch you over
board," continued Tarzan. "Do not
forget that I am just waiting for some
excuse." Then he turned on his heel
and left Bokoff standing there trem
bling with suppressed rage.
He did not see the man again for
days, but Rokoff was not idle. In his
stateroom with Paulvitch he fumed
and swore, threatening the most terri
ble of revenges.
"I would throw him overboard to
night." he cried, "were I sure that
those papers were net on his person. I
cannot chance pitching them into the
ocean with him. If you were not such
a stupid coward. Alexis, you would
find a way to enter his stateroom and
search for the documents."
Paulvitch smiled. "You are supposed
to be the brains of this partnership, my
dear Nikolas." he replied. "Why do
you not find the means to search M.
Caldwell's stateroom, eh?"
Two hours later fate was kind to
them, for Paulvitch. who was ever on
the watch, saw Tarzan leave his room
without locking the door. Five min
utes later Itokoff was stationed where
he could give the alarm in case Tarzan
returned, and Paulvitch was deftly
searching the contents of the ape
man's luggage.
He was about to give up in despair
when he saw a coat which Tarzan had
just removed. A moment later he
grasped an official envelope in his
hand. A quick glance at Its contents
brought a broad smile to the Russian's
face.
When he left the stateroom TarztrtT
himself could not have told that an ar
ticle in it had been touched, because
Paulvitch was a past master In his
chosen field.
After Miss Strong had gone below
that night Tarzan stood leaning over
the rail looking far out to sea. Every
night he had done this since he had
come on board. Sometimes he stood
thus for an hour. And the eyes that
had been watching his every move
ment since he bad 1oarded the ship at
Algiers knew that this was his habit.
Even as be stood there this night
those eyes were on him. Presently the
last straggler bad left the deck. It was
a clear night, but there was no moou
objects ou deck were barely discern
ible. From the shadows of the cabin two
figures crept stealthily upon the ape
man from behind. The lapping of the
waves against the ship's sides, the
whirring of the propeller, the throbbing
of the eugiues. drowned the almost
soundless approach of the two.
They were quite close to him now

gridiron. Ooe of theui raised his hand

the two leapeoTfor their victim. Each
grasped a leg and before Tarzan of the
Apes, lightning though he was. could
turn to save himself he had been pitch
ed over the low rail and was falling
into the Atlantic.

"If you don't I shall pitch you over
board."
CHAPTER XIV.
Drowned at Sea!
THE next morning at breakfast
Tarzan's place was vacant.
Miss Strong was mildly curi
ous, for Mr. Caldwell had al
ways made it a point to wait that he
might breakfast with her and her
mother. As she was sitting on deck
later M. Thuran paused to exchange a
half dozen pleasant words with her.
He seemed in most excellent spirits
his manner was the extreme of affabil
ity. As he passed on Miss Strong
thought what a very delightful man
was M. Thuran.
The day dragged heavily. When M.
Thuran stopped again to chat with her
in the afternoon she welcomed the
break in the day's monotony. But she
had begUH to become seriously con
cerned about Caldwell's continued ab
sence. Presently she broached the sub
ject to M. Thuran. Had he seen Mr.
Caldwell today? He had not. Why?
"He was not at breakfast as usual,
nor have I seen him once since yester
day," explained the girl.
M. Thuran was extremely solicitous.
"I did not have the pleasure of inti
mate acquaintance with Mr. Caldwell."
he said. "He seemed a most estimable
gentleman, however. Can it be that
he is Indisposed and has remained in
his stateroom? It would not be
strange."
"No," replied the girl; "it would not
be strange, of course, but for some in
explicable reason I have one of those
foolish feminine presentiments that all
is not right with Mr. Caldwell. It is
the strangest feeling. It is as though
I knew that be was not on board the
ship."
M. Thuran laughed pleasantly. "Mer
cy, my dear Miss Strong!" he said.
"Where in the world could he be then?
We have not been within sight of land
for days."
"Of course it is ridiculous of me,"
she admitted. And theD: "But I am
not going to worry about It any longer.
Iam going to find out where Mr. Cald
well is." And she motioned to a pass
ing steward.
"That may be more difficult than you
imagine, my dear girl," thought M.
Thuran. but aloud he said. "By all
means."
"Find Mr. Caldwell, please," she said
to the steward, "and tell him that his
friends are much worried by his con
tinued absence."
"You are very fond of Mr. Caldwell?"
suggested M. Thuran.
"I thiHk he is splendid." replied the
girl. "And mamma is perfectly infat
uated with him."
A minute later the steward returned
to say that Mr. Caldwell was not In his
stateroom. "I cannot find him. Miss
Strong, and" he hesitated "I have
learned that his berth was not occu
pied last night. I think that I had bet
ter report the matter to the captain."
"Most assuredly," exclaimed Miss
Strong. "I shall go with you to the
captain myself."
It was a very frightened young wo
mau and an excited steward who pre
sented themselves before the captain a
few moments later. He listened to
their stories in silence, a look of con
cern marking his expression as the
steward assured him that he had
sought for the missing passenger In
every part of the ship that passengers
might be expected to frequent.
The captain ordered an Immediate
and thorough search of the entire ship
from stem to stern no nook or cranny
was to be overlooked. It was a full
hour later that the first officer returned
to report the outcome of the search.
"Mr. Caldwell Is not on board, sir."
he said.
"I fear that there is something more
serious than accident here. Mr. Brent
ly," said the captain. "I wish that you
would make a personal and very care
ful examination of Mr. Caldwell's ef
fects, to ascertain if there is any clew
to a motive either for suicide or mur
dersift the thing to the bottom."
"Aye, aye. sir!" responded Mr. Brent
ly. utid left to commence his investiga
tion. Hazel Strong was prostrated. For
two days she did not leave her cabin,
and when she finally ventured ou deck
she was very wau and white, with
great, dark circles beneath her eyes.
. Shorter after ber first appearance on
deck following the tragedy, M. Thuran
joined her with many expressions of
kindly solicitude.
"Oh. but it is terrible. Miss Strong."
he said. "I cannot rid my mind of it."
The girl could not help but feel grate
ful to him for his kind words. He was
with her often almost constantly for
the remainder of the voyage and she
grew to like him very much indeed.
M. Thuran had learned that the beauti
ful Miss Strong of Baltimore was an
American heiress a very wealthy girl
In her own right, and with future pros
pects that quite took his breath away.
It had been M. Thuran's intention to
leave the ship at the first port they
touched after the disappearance of Tar
zan. Did he not have in his coat
pocket the thing he had taken passage
upon this very boat to obtain? There
was nothing more to detain him here.
He could not return to the continent
fast enough that he might board the
first express for St. Petersburg.
But now another idea had obtruded
Itself and was rapidly crowding his
original intentions into the background.
That American fortune was not to be
sneezed at. nor was its possessor a whit
less attractive.
"Sapristi! but she would cause a sen
sation in St. Petersburg." And he
would, too, with the assistance of her
Inheritance.
After M. Thuran had squandered a
few million dollars, he discovered that
the vocation was so entirely to his lik
ing that he wouid continue on down to
Cape Town, where he suddenly decided
that he had pressing engagements that
might detain him there for some time.
Miss Strong had told him that she
and her mother, were to visit the lat
ter's brother there. They had not de
cided upon the duration of their stay,
and it would probably run into months.
She was delighted when she found
that M. Thuran was to be there also.
"I hope that we shall be able to con
tinue our acquaintance." she said. "Yon
must call upon mamma and me as soon
as we are settled."
M. Thuran was delighted at the pros
pect and lost no time In saving so
Mrs. Strong was not quite so favorably
impressed by him ns her daughter.
"I do not know why I shor.ld dis
trust him." she said to Hazel one day
as they were discussing him. "He
seems a perfect gentleman in every re
spect, but sometimes there is some
thing about his eyes a fleeting expres
sion which I cannot describe, but
which when I see it gives me a very
uncanny feeling."
The girl laughed. "You are a silly
dear, mamma," she said.
"I suppose so, but I am sorry that
we have not poor Mr. Caldwell for
company instead."
"And I, too." replied her daughter.
M. Thuran became a frequent visitor
at the home of Hazel Strong's uncle
in Cape Town. At length, feeiing the
moment propitious, he proposed. Miss
Strong was startled. She did not know
what to say.
"I had never thought that you cared
for me in such a way," she told hiui.
"I have looked upon you always as a
very dear friend. I shall not give you
my answer now. Forget that you have
asked me to be your wife. Let us go
on as we have been then I cau con-
Ksider you from an entirely different
angle for a time. It may be that I
shall discover that my feeling for you
is more than friendship. I certainly
have not thought for a moment that I
loved you."
This arrangement was perfectly sat
Isfactory to M. Thuran. He deeply re
gretted that he had been hasty, but he
had loved her for so long a time and
bo devotedly that he thought that every
one must know it.
"From the first time that I saw you.
Hazel." he said. "I have loved you. I
am willing to wait, for I am certain
that so great and pure a love as mine
will be rewarded. All that I care to
know is that you do not love another.
Will you tell me?"
"I have never been in love in my
life," she replied and he was quite sat
isfied. On the way home that night he
purchased a steam yacht and built a
$1,000,000 villa on the Black sea.
The next day Hazel Strong enjoyed
one of the happiest surprises of her
life she ran face to face upon Jane
Porter as she was coming out of a
jeweler's shop.
"Why, Jane Porter!" she exclaimed.
"Where in the world did you drop
from? Why, I can't believe my own
eyes."
"Well, of all things!" cried the equal
ly astonished Jane. "And here I have
been wasting whole reams of perfectly
good imagination picturing you in Bal
timorethe very idea!" And she threw
ber arms about Ler friend once more
and kissed her a dozen times.
By the time mutual explanations had
been made Hazel knew that Lord Ten
nington's yacht had put In at Cape
Town for at Jeast a week's stay and at
the end of that time was to continue
on her voyage, this time up the west
coast, and so back to England, "where,"
concluded Jane, "I am to be married."
"Then you are not married yet?"
asked Hazel.
"Not yet." replied Jane, and then
quite irrelevantly. "I wish England
were a million miles from here."
Visits were exchanged between the
yacht and Hazel's relatives. Dinners
were arranged and trips into the sur
rounding country to entertain the vis
itors. M. Thuran was a welcome guest
at every function. He gave a dinner
himself to the men of the party and
managed to Ingratiate himself in the
ood will of Lord.Tennington by many
little acts of hospitality.
M. Thuran had heard dropped a hint
of something which might result from
this unexpected visit of Lord Tenning
ton's yacht, and he wanted to be count
ed in ou it. Once when he was aloue
with the English man he took occasion
to make it auiteplain that his engage-
nierit "to 'Miss Strong "was lo T.e an
nounced immediately upon their return
to America. "But not a word of it. my
dear Tennington; not a word of it."
The next day it came. Mrs. Strong.
Hazel and M. Thuran were Lord Ten
nington's guests aboard his yacht. Mrs
Strong had been telling them how
much she had enjoyed her visit at
Cape Town and that she regretted that
a letter just received from her attor
neys in Baltimore had necessitated her
cutting her vUit shorter than they bad
intended.
"When do you sail?" asked Tenning
ton. "The first of the week. I think." she
replied.
"indeed?" exclaimed M. Thuran. "!
am very fortunate. I, too. have found
that I must return at once, and now I
shall have the honor of accompanying
and serving you."
"That is nice of you, M. Thuran." re
plied Mrs. Strong. "I am sure that
we shall be glad to place ourselves un
der your protection." But in the bot
tom of her heart was the wish thai
they might escape him. Why, she
could not have told.
"By Jove!" ejaculated Lord Tenning
ton a moment later. "Bully idea, by
Jove!"
"Yes. Tennington. of course." ventur
ed Clayton. "It must be a bully idea
if you had it, but what is it?"
"It's to take Mrs. Strong and Miss
Strong, and Thuran. too, if he'll come,
as far ns England with us on the
yacht. Now. isn't that a corker? And
we'll sail the first of the week, or any
other time that suits your convenience.
Mrs. Strong."
"Mercy. Lord Tennington. yon
haven't even given us an opportunity
to thank you. much less decide wheth
er w e shall be able to accept your gen
erous invitation." said Mrs. Strong.
"Why. of course you'll come.' re
sponded Tennington. "We'll make as
good time as any passenger boat, and
you'll be fully as comfortable, and any
way, we all wart you and won't take
no for an answer."
And so it was settled that they should
sail the following Monday.
Two days out the girls were sitting
in Hazel's cabin looking at some prints
she had had finished in Cape Town.
They represented all the pictures she
had taken since she had left America.
"And here," said Hazel suddenly,
"here's a man you know. Poor fellow,
I have so often intended asking you
about him, but I never have been able
to think of it when we were together."
She was holding the little print so that
Jane did not see the face cf the man it
portrayed.
"His name was John Caldwell," con
tinued Hazel. "Do you recall him? He
said that he met you in America. He is
an Englishman."
"I do not recollect the name." replied
Jane. "Let me see the picture."
"The poor fellow was lost overboard
on our trip down the coast," she said as
she handed the print to Jane.
"Lost over Why. Hazel. Hazel
don't tell me that he is dead drowned

at sea!" And before the astonished
Miss Strong could catch her Jane Por
ter h id slipped to the floor in a swoon.
After Hazel had restored her chum
to consciousness she sat looking at her
for a long time before either spoke.
"I did not know. .lane." said Hazel
in a constrained voice, "that you knew
Mr. Caldwell so intimately that his
death should prove such a shock to
you."
"John Caldwell?" questioned Miss
Porter. "You do not mean to tell me
that you do uot know who this man
was. Hazel?"
"Why. yes. Jane: I know perfectly
well who lie was his name was John
Caldwell: he was from London."
"Oh. Hazel. I wish I could believe it."
moaned the girl. "I wish I could m.
lieve it. but those features are Mimed
so deep into my memory and my hear
that I should recognize them anywhere
In the world from among a thousand
others who might appear Identical t
iiiy one i:;t me."
"What do you mean. Jane?" cried
Hazel, now ! !ii ifi!i;hly alarmed. "Who
do you think it is?"
"1 don't think. Ilazil ? know t.hui
that is a pii tuiv "f Tarzan of tlo

A merchant should not do e
acting tlie same kind of advertis
ing ill July that lie dues in Octo
ber, but lie shnulil by no means
expect to keep up hlsje-s in the
summer becauc be advertised in
the winter, or without current
publicity. The merchant who ad
vertises liberally all -uminer is
the merchant who gets the busi
ness because be u-ually is the
one who has .-omi'thing worth

anil thereby makes his advertis
ing just as pertinent and profit
able a al any other season of the
