PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, Pane 7. EDGAR Copyright, 1913. PROLOGUE. Readers of " Tarzan of the Apes" there were millions of them have been awaiting with eagerness "The Return of Tar zan." They need no introduc tion to the ape-man, who was an English lord by ancestry and an inhabitant of the trectops by fate until the same fate brought him oat and made him a civilized man after twenty years of life among the great apes of Africa. His 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. IVow we have "The Return of Tarzan," as thrilling as its fore runner. In it are told the fur ther adventures of the splendid ape-man, who at last wins his way to the' side of his true love after facing countless perils f land and sea. Whoever read "Tarzan of the Apes" needs no invitation to peruse this story. Others ' are warned that after they read this sequel to "Tarzan of the Apes" they won't be satisfied until they have read that story also, CHAPTER XXVII!. Love In the Wilderness. X through tbe passageways be trotted, past the lirat dour and through the treasure vault; past the second uxr and into th- lr.?. straight tunnel thflt led to the lofty bidden exit beyond the city. Jane I'orter was still unconscious. At the crest of the jrrcat bowldurrhe lisltvd to cast a backward jrlaiieet wanl the city. Cumins; across the plain he saw a baud of the hideous men of Opar. Fit a moment he hesi tated. Should he de.-cend ...ind make a race for the distant cliffs, or should he hide here until uiht? And then a pdance at the irirl'.s white face deter mined him. He could not keep her here and permit her enemies to g'-t between tLem and liberty. For auht lie knew they miaht have been follow ed through the tunnels, and to have foes before and behind would result in almost certain capture since he could not fisht his way through the enemy burdemd as lie was with the unconscious irirl. To descend the Fteep ace of the bowlder with Jane I'orter wiu-noeasy task, but by binding her across his shoulders with the grass rope Le suc ceed ?d in reaching the ground iu safe ty before the Oparians arrived at the great rock. As the descent had been made upon the side away from the city, the searching party saw ntliiug of it. nor did they dream that their prey was so close lefore them. Dy keeping the kopje between them and their pursuers Tarzan of the Aps mauaged to cover nearly a mile before the men of Opar rounded th granite sentinel and saw the fugitives before them. "With loud cries of savage de light they broke into a mad run. think ing doubtless that they would soon overhaul the burdened runner, but they both underestimated the jowers of the ape-man nid overestimated the possibilities of their own short, crook ed legs. l.y inaintainin:; an easy trot Tarzan kept the distance between them al ways the same. Occasionally he would glance at the face so near his own. Had it not lx eu for the faint beating of the heart pressed so close against his own he would net have known that she was alive, so white and drawn v as the poor, tired face. Ami thus they came to the flat top ped mountain and the barrier cliffs. I hiring the last mile Tarzan had let himself out. running like a deer that ho might have ample time to descend the face of the cliffs before the Opari ans could reach the summit and hurl rocks down upon them. And so it was that he was half a mile down the mountainside ere the fierce little meu came panting to the edge. With cries of rage and disappoint ment they ranged along the cliff top. shaking their cudgels aud dancing up mid down in a perfect passion or au--er. IJut this time they did not pur ple lKyond the boundary of their owu country. Whether it was because tbey rp.-alled the futility of their former long and Irksome search or after wit ncssfug the ease with which, the ape man swung along lie fore them aud the last burst of speed they realized the utter hopelessness of further pursuit it is diliier.lt to say. but. as Tarzau reac hed the woods that begau at-the Vae of the foothill which-skirted the barrier cliffs they turned their faces ciice more toward Opar . PJCE by W. G. Ch&pmra Just within tbe fi rest's edge, where he could vet watch the cliff tops, Tar- laid his burden upon the grass and. going to the nearby rivulet, brought water with which he bathed her face and hands, but even' this did not revive her. and. greatly worried, he gathered the girl into his strong arms on e more and hurried on toward the west. Late in the afternoon Jane Porter regained consciousness. She did not open her eyes at once. She was trying to recall the scenes that she had last witnessed. Ah I She remembered now. The altar, the terrible priestess, the de scending knife. She gave a little shud der, for she thought that either this was death or that the knife had buried itself in her .heart and she was exe riencing the brief delirium preceding death. And when finally she mustered cour age to open her eyes the sight that met them oiUirnied her fears, for she saw that she was being borne through a leafy paradise in the arms of her dead love. "If tics oe death," she murmur ed, -thank Cod that 1 am dead!" 'You spoke. Jane!" cried Tarzan. "You are regaining consciousness!"' "Yes. Tarzan of the Apes." she re plied. And for the first time in months a smile of peace and happiness lighted her face. "Thank- Jod!" cried the nne-man, coming to the ground in a little grassy clearing beside the stream. "I was in time after all." "In time? What da you mean?" she questioned. "in time to save you from death upon the altar. tV:ir." he replied. 4-Io ! von not remember?" "Save me from death!'" she asked in a puzzled tore. "Are we not both dead, my Tarzan?" He had placed her upon the crass by now. her back resting against the stem of a huge tree. ,At her question he stepped back "wh'ere he could the bet ter see her face. "lead!" -hf- 'repealed. and then he laughed. "You are not. Jau and if you will return r the city of Opar and ask them who dwell there they will tel! yoi that. I was -not dead a few short holies ago. No. dar: we are both very inn -h alive." "IJut both Hazel and M. Thuran told me tli.it you had fallen into the oean a hundred miles from land." she urged as though trying to convince him that he must indeed le de.nL "They said that there was n question hut that it must have been you and less that you could have survived or been picked "How can I convince you that I am U" spirit?" Le asked, with a laugh. "It was I whom the delightful M. Thuran pushed overboard, but I did not drown 1 will tell you. all about it alter awhile and here I itin very much the same wild man 7"3u tirst knew. Jane I'orter." The girl rose slowly to her feet and came toward him. "I cannot even jet believe it,' she murmured. "It cannot le that such happiness cn be true after all the hideous things that I have passed through these awful mouths since the Lady Alk-e went down." She came close to him and laid a ha nil, soft and trembling, upon his arm. "It must be that I am dreaming, and that I shall awaken in a moment to see that awful knife descending toward my heart. Kiss me, dear, just once before I lose my dream forever." Tarzan of the Apes needed no second invitation. He took the girl he loved in his strong arms and kissed her not Took the Girl He Loved In Hi Strong Arm end Kitted Her. V aTWA 1, He once, but a hundred times, until she lay there panting for breath. Yet when he stopped she put her arms about his neck and drew his lips down to hers once more. "Am I alive and a reality, or am I but a dream?" he asked. , "If you are not alive, my man." she answered, "I pray that I may die thus before I awaken to the terrible reali ties cf my last wakicg moments." ' For awhile both were silent, gazing into each others' eyes as though each still questioned the reality of the won derful happiness that had come to them. The past, with all its hideous disappointments and horrors, whs for gotten, the future did not belong to them, but the present ah, that was theirs. None could take that from them. It was the girl who first broke the sweet silence. "Where are we going, dear?" she asked. "What are we going to do?" "Where would you like best to go?'' he asked. "What would you like best to do?" "To go where you go. my man; to do whatever seems best to you," she an swered. "But Clayton?!' he asked. For a mo ment he bad forgotten that there ex isted upon the earth other than they two. "We have forgotten your hus band." "I am not married, Tarzan of tbe Apes!" she cried. "Nor am I longer promised in marriage. The day before those awful creatures captured me I spoke to Mr. Clayton of my love for you. and he understood then that 1 could not keep the wicked promise that I had made. It was after we had been miraculously saved from an attacking lion." She paused suddenly and looked up at him, a questioning light in her eyes. "Tarzan of the Apes." she cried, "it was you who did that thing! It could have been no other." He dropped his eyes, for he was ashamed. "How could you have gone away and left me?' she cried reproachfully. "Don't. Jane!" he pleaded. "Please don't! You cannot know how I have suffered since for the cruelty of that act or how I suffered then, first in jealous rage and then in bitter re sentment against the fate that I had not deserved. I went back to the aies after that. Jane, intending never again to see a human being." He told her then of his life since he had returned to the jungle of how be had dropped like a plummet from a civilized Parisian to a savage Waziri warrior and from there back to the brute that he had been raised. She asked him many questions, and he nar rated every detail of his civilized life to her, omitting nothing, for he felt no shame since his heart alvrays bad beet true to her. When he hnd finished he sat looking at her as though waiting for her judgment and his sentence. "I knew that he was not speaking the truth," she said. "Ob, what a hor rible creature he Is!" "You are not angry with me, then?" he asked. And her reply, though apparently most irrelevant, was truly feminine. "Is Olga de Coude very beautiful ?"j she asked. j And Tarzan laughed and kissed her again. ".Not one-tentli so oeautiiui as you. dar." he said. She gave a contented little sigh and let her head rest gainst his shoulder, lie knew that he was forgiven.
