among the great apes of Africa.
His adventures, as wonderful and
interesting as any set forth in
vjords, have been the center of
interest in a story that is unique
in its originality.
i'iow we have "The Return of

ape-man, who at last wins his
way to the side of his true love
after facing countless perils by
land and sea.
Whoever read "Tarzan of the
Apes" needs no invitation to

was John Caldwell of London. He said
that he had been born in Africa and
educated in I ranee."
"Yes: thac would be true." murmured
Jane Porter dully.
"The first "dicer, who searched his
In:;:;?1, for.nd nothing to identify John
Caldwell of Iudjr:. Practically all his
Ifiourincs had been made or purchas
ed in Paris. Everything that bore an
initial was marked either with a "T"
alone or with "J. C. T.' We thought
that lie was traveling ineoruito under
his first two names, the J. C standing
for John CaidweM."
"Tarzan of the Apes took the name
Jean C. Tarzan." s:;id Jane in the same
lifeless mcnute.no. "And he is dead!

fdiou'd be the prey of slimy, crawling
things; that" Uut she could ;;o no
further, and. with a little moan, she
buried her head in her arms and sank
Bobbins to the tloor.
For days Miss Porter was ill and
would see no tine except Hazel and the
faithful i:sm ralda. When at last she
came on dock all were struck by the
sad chancre that had taken place in her.
She was no lonuer the alert, vivacious
American beauty who had charmed
iw:d delighted all who came in contact
with her. Instead she was a very
quiet and sad little jjirl. with an ex
pression vf hopeless wistfulness that
roro but llasel Strong could interpret.
The entire party strove their utmost
to cheer and amuse her. but all to no
avail Occasionally the jolly I.oid Ton
ninston would wrinc a waii'snule from
her. but for the most part she sat with
wid- cars looking out across the sea.
With Jane Porter's illness one inls
forttrne after another seemed to attack
the yacht. First an engine broke
down, and they drifted for two days
while temporary repairs were beins
made. Then a squall struck them un
awares that carried overboard nearly
every thin? alove deck that was port
able. Later two of the seamen fell to
fish tin? in the forecastle, with the re
sult that one of them was badly wound
ed with a knife and the other had to be
put in irons. Then, to cap the climax,
the male fell overboard at mbt and
was drowned before help could reacu
him. The yacht cruised about the spot
for ten hours, but no siu of the man
vns seen after he disappeared from
the deck into the sea.
Every member of the crew and fruests
was gloomy and depressed after these
series of misfortunes. AH were appre
hensive of worse to come and this was
rsliecially true of the seamen who re
called all sorts of terrible omens ami
warnings that had occurred during the
early part of the voyage and which

stopped. For a moment she hur.g
there with her de; ks at an ngle of
forty-five degrees then, with a sullen,
rending sound she slipped back into
the sea and righted.
Instantly the men rushed upon deck,
followed closely by the women. The
night was densely black, though there
was little or no sea. Just of! the part
Low n dim black mass cculd he dis
cerned floating low in the water.
"A derelict." was the terse explana
tion of the ollicer of the watch.
Presently the engineer hurried on
deck in search of the captain.
"That patch we put on the cylinder
head's blown out. sir."' he reported,
"and she's makin water fast for'ard on
the port bow."
An instant later a seaman rushed up
from below.
"My Gawd:" lie cried. "Tier whole
blec-din' bottom's ripped out. She can't
float twenty minutes."
"Shut up:' roared Tennington. "La
dies, go below and get some of your
things together. It may uot be so bad
as that, but we may have to take to
the boats. It will be safer to be pre
pared. Go at once, please. And. Cap
tain Jerrold. send some competent man
below, please, to ascertain the exact
extent of the damage. In the mean
time 1 might suggest that you have
the boats provisioned."
The calm low voice of the owner did
much to reassure the entire party, and
a moment later all were occupied with
the duties he had suggested. F.y the
-1
time the ladies had returned to the deck
the rapid provisioning of the boats had
been about completed, and a moment
later the ollicer who had gone below
had returned to report. But his opin
ion was scarcely needed to assure the
huddled group of men and women that
the end of the Lady Alice was at hand.
"Well, sir?" said the captain as Lis
officer hesitated.
"I dislike to frighten the ladies, sir."
he said, "but she can't float a d07.cn
minutes, in my opinion. There's a hole
in her you could drive a bally cow
through, sir."
For five minutes the Lady Alice had
been settling rapidly by the bow. Al
ready her stern loomed high in air. and
foothold on the deck was of the most
precarious nature. She carried four
boats, and these were all filled and
lowered away in safety. As they pull
ed rapidly from the stricken little ves
sel Jane Porter turned to have one
last look at her. Just then there came
a loud crash and an ominous rumbling
and pounding from the heart of the
ship her machinery had broken loose
and was dashing its way toward the
bow. tearing out partitions and bulk
heads as it went. The stem rose rapid
ly high above them. For a moment she
seemed to pause there, a vertical shaft
protruding from the bosom of the
cx-ean. and then swiftly she dove head
foremost beneath the waves.
In one of the boats the brave Lord
Tennington had wiped a tear from his
eye. He had not seen a fortune in
money go down forever into the sea.
but a dear, beautiful friend whom he
had loved.
At last the long night broke and a
tropical sun smote down upon the roll
ing water. Jane Porter had dropped
into a fitful slumber the fierce light
of the sun upon her upturned face
awoke her. She looked about her. In
the loat with her were three sailors.
Clayton and M. Thuran. Then she
looked for the other boats, but as far
as the eye could reach there was noth
ing to break the fearful monotony of
that waste of waters they were alone
in a small boat upon the broad At
lantic. As Tarzan struck the wafer his first
impulse was to swim clear of the ship
and possible danger from her vopel
lers. He knew whom to thank, tur his
present predicament, and as he lay in
the sea. just supporting himself by a
gentle movement of his hands, his
chief emotiou was one of chagrin that
he had been so easily bested by Kokoff.
He lay thus for some time, watching
the receding and rapidly diminishing
lights of the steamer without it ever
once occurring to him to call for help
He never had called for help in his
life, and so it is not strange that he did
not think of it now. Always had he"de
pendod upou his own prowess :ind re
sourcefulness, nor had there ever been
sine the days of Kala any to answer
an appeal for succor. When it did oc
cur to him It was too late. There was.
thought Tarzan, a possible cue chance
I in a hundred thousand that he might

ena." e that Ee would "reach land, ao he
determined that to combine what slight
chances there were he would swim
slowly in the direction of the coast
the ship might have been closer in than
he had known.
His strokes were long and easy It
would be many hours before those
giant muscles would commence to feel
fatigue. As he swam, guided toward
the east by the stars, he noticed that
lie felt the weight of his shoes, and
m) he removed them. His trousers
went next, and he would have remov
ed his coat at the same time but for
the precious papers iu its pocket. T
reassure himself that he still had them
he slipped his hand in to feel, but to
his consternation they were gone.
Now he knew that something more
than revenge had prompted ltokoff to
pitch him overboard. The ape-man
wore softly and let his coat and shirt
sink into the Atlantic, llefore many
hours he had divested himself of his
remaining garments and was swim
ming easily and unencumbered toward
the east.
The first faint evidence of dawn was
paling the stars ahead of liim when
the dim outlines of a low lying black
mass loomed up directly in his track.
A few strong strokes brought him to
its side it was the bottom of a wave
washed derelict. Tarzan clambered
upon it he would rest there until day
light at least. lie curled up upon the
slimy timbers and was soon asleep.
The heat of the sun awoke him early
in the forenoon. His first conscious
sensation was of thirst, which grew
almost to the proportions of suffering
with full returning consciousness, but
a moment later it was forgotten in the
joy of two almost simultaneous discov
eries. The first was a mass of wreck
age floating beside the derelict, in the
midst of which, bottom np. rose and
fell an overturned lifeboat. The other
was the faint, dim line of a far distant
shore showing on the horizon in the
east.
Tarzan dove into the water and
swam around the wreck to the life
boat. The cool ocean refreshed him
almost a much as would a draft of
water, so that it was with renewed
vigor that he brought the smaller boat
alongside the derelict and after many
herculean tffur;s succeeded in drag
ging it on to the slimy ship's bottom.
There he righted and examined it.
The boat was quite sound and a mo
ment later floated upright alongside
the wreck. Then Tarzan selected sev
eral pieces of wreckage that might an
swer him as paddles and preseutly was
making good headway toward the far
off shore.
It was late in the afternoon by the
time he came close enough to distin
guish objects on land or to make out
the contour of the shore line. Before
him lay what appeared to be the en
trance to a little, landlocked harbor.
The wooded point to the north was
strangely familiar. Could it be possi
ble that fate had thrown him up at
the very threshold of his own beloved
jungle! But as the bow of his boat en
tered the mouth of the harbor the last
shred of doubt was cleared away, for
there before him upon the farther
shore, under the shadows of his prime
val forest, stood his own cabin built
before his birth by the hand of his
long dead father, John Clayton. Lord
Greystcke.
With long sweeps of his giant mus
cles Tarzan sent the little craft speed
ing toward the beach. Its prow had
scarcely touched when the ape-man
leaped to shore his heart beat fast in
joy and exultation as each long famil
iar object came beneath his roving
eyes the cabin, the beach, the little
brook, the dense jungle, the black, im
penetrable forest. The myriad birds
in their brilliant plumage: the gorgeous
tropical blooms upon the festooned
creepers falling in great loops from the
iriant trees.
Tarzan of the Apes had come into
his own again, and that all the world
might know it he threw back his
young head and gave voice to the
fierce, wild challenge of his tribe. For
a moment silence reigned upon the
jungle, and then, shrill and weird,
came an answering challenge. It was
Sabor, the tiger, find the deep roar of
Numa. the lion, and from a great dis
tance faintly the fearsome answering
bellow of a bull ape.
Tarzan went to the brook first and
slaked his thirst. Then he approach
ed his cabin. The door was still closed
and latched as he and D'Arnot Lad left
it. He raised the latch and entered
Nothing had been disturbed. There
were the table, the bed and the little
crib built by his father: the shelves
and cupboards just as they had stood
for over twenty-three years: just as he
had left them nearly two years be
fore. His eyes satisfied. Tarzan's stomach
began to call aloud for attention. The
pangs of hunger suggested a search for
food. There was uothiug in the cabin,
nor had he any weapons: but upon a
wall hung one of his old grass roies.
It had been many times broken and
spliced, so that he had discarded it for
a better one long before. Tarzan wish
ed that he had a knife. Well, unless
he was mistaken he should Lave that

meantime it inuM: be made to procure
food for him. He coiled it carefully,
and, throwing It about his shoulder,
went out. closing the door behind him.
Close to the or bin the jungle com
menced, and into it Tarzan of the Apes
plunged, wary and noiseless, once more
a savage least hunting its food. For
a time he kept to tha ground, but final

nearby meat, he took to the trees.
With the first dlz:jy swing froin tree to
tree all the old joy of living swept
oxer him. ain regrets aud dull -heart

ing. Now indeed was the true happi
ness of perfect freedom his. Who
would go back to the stifling, wicked
cities of civilized man wLen The
mighty reaches of the great jungle of

While It was yet light Tarzan came
to a drinking place by the side of a
jungle river. There was a ford there,
and for countless ages the beasts of
the forest had come down to drink at
this spot Here of a night might al

Here came Horta. the boar, to water,
and here came Tarzan of the Apes to
make a kill, for he was very empty.
On a low branch he squatted above
the trail. For an hour he waited. It
was growing dark. A little to one side
of the ford in the densest thicket he

and the brushing of a huge body

and translated. It was Numa. the
lion, on the same errand as himself.
Tarzan smiled.
CHAPTER XVI.
In the Jungle.
PRESENTLY Tarzan heard an
animal approaching warily
along the trail toward the
drinking place. A moment
more and it came in view. It was
Horta, the boar. Here was delicious
meat, and Tarzan's mouth watered.
The grasses where Numa lay were
very still now. ominously still. Horta
passed beneath Tarzan. A few more
steps and be would be within the
radius of Nnma's spring. Tarzan
could Imagine how old Numa's eyes
were shining, how he was already
sucking in his breath for the awful
roar which would fiec::e his prey for
the brief instant between the moment
of the spring and the sinking of terri
ble fangs into splintering bones.
But as "Numa gathered himself a
slender rope flew through the air from
the low branches of a nearby tree. A
noose settled about Uorta's neck.
There was a frightened grunt, a squeal,
and then Nutn.i saw his quarry drag
ged backward up the trail, and as he
sprang Horta, the boar, soared upward
beyond his clutches into the tree
above, and a mocking face looked
down and laughed into his own.
Then indeed did Numa roar. Angry,
threatening, hungry, he paced back
and forth beneath the taunting ape
man. Now he stopped and. rising on
his hind legs against the stem of the
tree that held his enemy, sharpened
his huge claws upon the bark, tearing
out great pieces that lay bare the white
wood beneath.
And in the meantime Tarzan had
dragged the struggling norta to the
limb beside bim. Sinewy lingers com
pleted the work the choking noose had
commenced. The ape-man had no
knife, but nature had equiped him
with the means of tearing his food
from the quiveriLg flank of his prey,
and gleaming teeth sank into the suc
culent flesh while the raging lion lqok
ed on from below as another enjoyed
the dinner that be had thought al
ready his.
It was quite dark by the time Tar
zan bad gorged himself. Ah. but it
had been delicious! Never had he
ijuite accustomed himself to the ruined
flesh that civilized men had served
him, and in the bottom of his ravage
heart there had constantly been the
craving for the warm meat of the
fresh kICed and the rich, red blood.
He wiped his bloody hands upon a
bunch of leaves, slung the remains of
his kill across his shoulder nud swung
off through the middle terrace of the
forest toward, his cabin, and at the
same instant Jane Porter and William
Cecil Clayton arose from a sumptuous
dinner upon the Lady Alice, thousands
of miles to the east iu ' the Indian
ocean.
Beneath Tarzan walked Numa. the
Hon. and when the ape-man deigned to
glance downward he caught occasional
glimpses of the baleful green eyes fol
lowing through the darkness. Numa
did not roar now. Instead he moved
Stealthily. li!tethesbadow of jl great
cut. but yet ue took uu step that did
not reach the sensitive ears of the ape
man. Tarzan wondered if he would stalk
him to his cabin door. He hoped not,
for that would mean a night's sleep
curled in the crotch of a tree, and he
much preferred the bed of grasses
within his own abode. But he knew
just the tree and the most comfortable
crotch if necessity demanded that he
sleep out. A hundred times in the past
some great jungle cat had followed him
home and compelled him to seek shel
ter in this same tree until another
mood or the rising sun had sent his
enemy away.
But presently Numa gave up the
chase and, with a series of bloodcur
iliug moans and roars, turned angrily
back in search of another and easier
dinner.
A few moments later Tarzan was
curled up in the mildewed remnants of
what had once been a bed of grasses.
Thus easily did M. Jean C. Tarzan
slough the thin skin of his artificial
civilization and sink happy and con
tented into the deep sleep of the wild
beast that has fed to repletion. Yet a
woman's "yes" would have bound bim
to that other life forever and made the
thought of this savage existence repul
sive. Tarzan slept late into the following
forenoon, for he had been very tired
from the labors and exertion of the
loug night and day upou the ocean and
the jungle jaunt that had brought into
play muscles that he had scarce used
for nearly two years. When he awoke
he ran to the brook first to drink.
Then he took a plunge into the sea.
swimming about for a quarter of an
hour. Afterward be returned to his
cabin and breakfasted off the flesh of
Horta. This done, he buried the bal
ance of the carcass in the soft earth
outside the cabin for his evening meal.
Once more he took his rope and van
ished into the jungle. This time he
hunted nobler quarry man. although,
had you asked him his own opinion, he
could have named a dozen other deni
zens of the jungle which he considered
far the superiors In nobility of the
men he hunted. Today Tarzan was iu
quest of weapons. He wondered if the
women and children had remained in
Mbonga's village after the punitive ex
pedition from the French cruiser had
massacred all the warriors in revenge
for IVArnot's supposed death. He
hoped that he should find warriors
there, for he knew not how long a
quest lie should have to make were
the village deserted.
The ape-inan traveled swiftly through
the forest and about noon came to the
site of the village, but to his disap
pointment found that the jungle had
overgrown the plantain fields and that
the thatched huts had fallen in decay.
There was no sign of man. He clam
bered about among the ruins tor half
an hour, hoping that be might discover
some forgotten weapon, but his search
was without fruit, and so he took np
his quest once more, following up the
stream, which flowed from a south
easterly direction. He knew that near
fresh water he would be most likely
to find another settlement.
As he traveled he hunted as he had
hunted with his ape people iu the past,
as Kala. his ape foster mother, bad
taught bim to bunt, turning over root
ed logs to find some toothsome vermin,
running high into the trees to rob a
bird's nest or pouncing upon a tiny
rodent with the quickness of a cat.
There were other things that he ate.
too, but the less detailed the account
of an ape's diet the better and Tarzan
was again an ape. the same tierce,
brutal anthropoid that Kala had
taught him to be and that he had been
for the first twenty years of his life.
Occasionally he smiled as he recall
ed some friend who might even at the
moment be sitting placid and immacu
late within the precincts of his select
Parisian club j:tst as Tarzan had sat
but a few months tefore and then he
would stop, as though turned sudaen
ly to stone as the gentle breeze car
ried to his trained nostrils the scent of
some new prey or a formidable enemy.
That night he slept far inlaud from
his cabin, securely wedged into the
crotch of a giant tree, swaying a hun
dred feet above the ground. He had
eaten heartily again this time from
the flesh of Bara, the deer, who bad
fallen prey to his quick noose.
Early the next morning he resumed
his journey, always following the
course of the stream. For three days
lie coutinued his quest until he had
come to a part of the jungle in which
he never before had been. Occasional
ly upon higher ground the forest was
much thinner, and iu the far distance
through the trees he could see ranges
of mighty mountains, with wide plains
in the foreground. Here in the open
sp ices were new game countless ante
lope and vast herds of zebra. Tarzan
was entranced. He would make a
long visit to this new world.
On the uiorniug of the fourth day his
nostrils were suddenly surprised by a
faint, new scent. It was the scent of
man. but yet a long way off. The ape
man thrilled with pleasure. Every
sense was on the alert, as with crafty
stealth he moved quickly through the
trees, upwind, in the direction of his
prey. Presently he came upon it a
lone warrior treading softly through
the jungle.
Tarzan followed close above bis
quarry, waiting for a clearer space in
which to hurl bis rope. As he sfalked
the unconscious man new thoughts
presented themselves to the ape-man-thoughts
born f the refining ' influ
ences of civilization and of its cruel
ties. It camp to him that seldom if
ever did civilized man kill a fellow
being without some pretext, however
slight It w-aa true that Tarzan wished
this man's weapons and ornaments.
but- -:-sit necessary to take his life
to obtain tbemT
The 5nge he thought about it tbt-
I more repugnant "became the thought
of taking human life needlessly, and
thus it happened that while he was
trying to decide just what to do they
had come to a little clearing, at the
far side of which lay a palisaded vil
lage of beehive huts.
As the warrior emerged from the
i forest Tarzan caught a fleeting glimpse
i cf a tawny hide worming its way
through the matted jungle grasses in
his wake. It was Sabor. the tiger. He,
too. was stalking the black man. With
the instant that Tarzan realized the
native's danger his attitude toward his
erstwhile prey altered completely.
Now he was a fellow man threatened
by a common enemy.
Sabor was about to charge. There
was little time in which to compare
various methods or weigh the proba
ble result of any. And then a number
of things happened almost simultane
ously. The tiger sprang from his am
bush toward the retreating black; Tar
zan cried out in warning, and the black
turned just in time to see Sabor halt(d
in mid flight by a slender strand of
grass rope, the noose end of which had
fallen cleanly about his neck.
The ape-man had acted so quickly
that he had been unable to prepare
himself to withstand the strain and
shock of Sabor's great weight upon the
rope, and so it was that though the
rope stopped the beast before bis
mighty talons could fasten themselves
in the flesh of the black, the strain
overbalanced Tarzan. who came tum
bling to the ground not six paces from
the infuriated animal. Like lightning
Sabor turned upon this new enemy and
defenseless as he was. Tarzau of the
Apes was nearer to death that instant
than be ever before had been. It was
the black who saved him. The war
rior realized in an instant that he
owed his life to this strargo white
man, and he also saw that otdy a mir
acle could save his preserver from
those fierce yellow fangs that had been
so near to his own flesh.
With the quickness of thought his
s ear arm flew bar k, and then shot for
ward with all the force of the sinewy
muscles that roiled beneath the shim
mering ebon hide. True to its mark
the iron' shod weapon flew, transfix
ing Sabor's sleek carcass from the
right groin to beneath the left shoul
der. With a hideous scream of rage
and pain the brute turned again upon
the black. A dozen paces he had gone
when Tarzan's rope brought him to a
stand once more. Then he wheeled
again upon the ape-man. only to feel
the painful prick of a barbed arrow as
it sauk half its length in his quiver
ing flesh. Again he stopped, and by
this time Tarzan had run twice around
the stem of a great tree with his rope
and made the end fast.
The black saw the trick and grinned,
but Tarzan knew that Sabor must be
qnickly finished before those mighty
teeth had found and parted the slender
cord that held him. It was a matter
of but an instant to reach the black's
side and drag his long knife from its
scabbard. Then be signed the warrior
to continue to shoot arrows into the
great beast while he attempted to close
in upon him with the knife, so as one
tantalized upon one side the other
sneaked cautiously in upon the other
Sabor was furious. He raised his voice
in a perfect frenzy of shrieks, growls
and hideous moans, the while he rear
ed upon his hind legs in futile attempt
to reach first one and then the other
of his tormentors.
, But at length the agile ape-man saw
Lis -chance and rushed in upon the
least's left side behind the mighty
shoulder. A giant arm encircled the
white throat and a long blade sank
once, true as a die. into the fierce heart
Then Tarzan arose and the black man
oud the white looked into each other's
eyes across the liody of their kill, and
the black made the sign of peace and
friendship, and Tarzan of the Apes an
swered it in kind.
The noise of their battle with Sabor
had drawn an excited horde of sav
ages from the nearby village, and a
moment after the tiger's death the
two men were surrounded by lithe,
ebon warriors, gesticulating and jab
bering a thousand questions that
drowned each ventured reply.
And then the women came and the
children eager, curious, and at sight
of Tarzau more questioning than ever
The ape-man's new friend finally suc
ceeded in making himself heard, and
when he had done talking the men an 1
women of the village vied with one
another in doing honor to the strange
creature who had saved their fellow
and battled single handed with fierce
Sa bor.
At last they led him back to their
village, where they brought b in guts
of fowl and goats and cooked food
When lie pointed to their weapons the
warriors hastened to fetch spear,
shield, arrows and a bow. His friend
of the encounter presented bim with
the kidfe with which he had kil'ed
Sabor. There was nothing in all the
villflie be could not have bad for the
asking.
Tarzan's first nisht with the savages
was devoted to a wild orry in his hon
or. There was feasting, for the hun
ters tiad brought :n u antelope jind a
zebra as trophies of their skill, and
gallons of trie weak native beer were
