Ttl IL ' i m m w "T -w sf Copyright. 1913. ppnr nnTTTT- Readers of Tarzan of the Apes" there were millions of them have been awaiting with ,"Thn Ppnrr, nf Teir- ten." They need no introduc tion to the ape-man, who was an English lord by ancestry and an inhabitant of the treetops by fate until the same fate brought him out 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. i'Jow we have "The Return of Tarzan," as thrilling as its fore runner. In it are told the fur ther adventures cf the splendid 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 "Tcrzan 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 XXIX. The Passing of the Ape-Man. THAT niulit Tarzau built a snus little bower hiidi among the swaying branches of a giaLt tree, aud there the tired girl i-'.ei't. while in a croteli beneath her the ape-man curled, ready, even in sleep, to protect her. It took them many days to make the loijjr journey to the coast- Where the way was easy thev walked hand in hand beneath the arching bows of the mighty forest, as miLt in a far gone last have walked their primeval for bears. Where the unJt rbrusli was tai.lcd he took her in his great arms and bore her lightly through the trees, and the days were all too short, for they v ere very happy. Had it not been for thir anxiety to reach and succor Clayton they would have drawn out the sweet pleasure of that wonder ful journey inde'iniuly. On the lat day before they reached he coast Tarzan caught the scent of men ahead of them the scent of black let u. He told the girl and cautioned her to maintain silence. "There are few friends in the jungle,' he remark ed dryly. In half an hour they came stealthily upon a small party of black warriors Cling toward the west. As Tarzan saw theui he gave a cry of delight. It was a band of his own Waziri. Husuli was there and others who had accom panied him to Upar. At sight f him they danced and cried out in exuberant joy. For weeks they had been search ing for hitn they f'd him. The blacks exhibited considerable wonderment at the presence f the white girl with him. and when they found that she was to be his woman they vied with one another to do her honor. With the happy Waziri laugh ing and dancing about them, they dime to the rude shelter by the shore. There was no sign of life and no re sponse to their calls. Tarzan clam bered quickly to the interior of the lit tle tree hut, only to emerge a moment later with an empty tin. Thowing it down to Husuli, he told him to fetch water and then he beckoned Jane Por ter to come up. Together they leaned over the ema ciated thing that once had been an Ilnglish iiobleinan. Tears came to the girl's eyes as she saw the pour, sunken cheeks and hollow eyes and the lines of suffering upon the once young and handsome face. "lie still lives." said Tarzan. "We will do all that can be done for him. but I fear that we are too late." When Pusuli had brought the water Tnrzan forced a few drops between the cracked and swollen lips. He wetted the hot forehead and bathed the piti ful limbs. Presently Clayton opened his eyes. A faint, shadowy nmile lighted his countenance as he saw the girl leaning over him. At sight of Tarzan the ex pression changed to one of wonder uier.t. "it's all right, old fellow." said the rpe-mau. "We've found you in time. Ilre.rythjrg will 'be all right now. and we'll have you on your feet again be- fore you know it." The Englishman shook Lis head 1 weakly. "It's too late," he whispered, j 4 Hut it's just as well. I'd rather die." "Where is M. Thnrau?" asked line girl. . "lie left me after the fever got bad. He l& a devil. When I beaded for the U A A K M ill o. u EDGAR RHFM? by W. G.

At the thonslit of it the man was suddenly cniiunted ly a spark of vitality. lie ni.sed Limwlf iijmu one pir.ow. "les he almost shouted; "I will live! I will Jive long enough to find and kill that beast!" P. ut the brief effort left him weaker than before, and he sank back again upon the rotting grasses that. wi:h his old ulster, had been the bed of Jane Porter. "Don't worry about Thuran." said Tarzan of the Apes, laying a reassur ing hand on Clayton's forehead. "lie belongs to me, and I shall get him in the end. never fear." Tor a long time Clayton lay very still. Several times Tarzan had to put his c ar iuite close to the sunken chest to cutch the faint beating of the worn out heart. Toward evening lie aroused again for a brief moment. "J:; ne." he whispered. The girl bent her head closer to catch the faint mes 5 ice. "I have wronged yon and him." he nodded weakly toward the ape-man. "I loved you so. It is a poor excuse to ofi'er for injuring you. but I could not tear to think of giving you up. I d- not ask your forgiveness. I only wish to do now the thing 1 should have done oer a year ago." He fumbled in the pocket of the ulster beneath him tor something that he had discovered there while he lay between the paroxysms of fever. Presently he found it a crumbled bit of yellow paper. lie handed it to the girl, and as she took It his arm fell limply across his chest, his head dropped back, and v-.tli a lit tle gasp he stiffened and was still. Then Tarzan of the Apes drew a fold of the ulster across the upturned face. As they rose and stood on either side if the no v.- peaceful form tears came to the ape-man's eyes, for through the anguish that his own heart had suf fered he had learned compassion for the suffering of others. Through her tears the jrirl read tb message upon the bit of faded yellow paper, and as she read her eyes went very wide. Twice she read those star tling words before she could fully com prehend their meaning. J. C. Tarran. Tlaltimort-, MJ.: Flnr rrints prove you GreyFtoVo. "on ETatulotioTis. IVAItN'OT. She handed the paper to Tarzan. "And he has known it all this time." she sai l, "and did not tell you?" - "I "-.new ft first. Jane." replied Tar zau. "I did not know that he knew It at all. I must have dropped thL? message that night in the waiting room. It was there that I received it." "And afterward you told us that yc-ur mother was a she-ape and that jou had never known your father?" she asked incredulously. "The title and the estates meant nothing to me without you, dear." he replied. "And if I had taken them away from him I should have been lobbing the woman I love don't you understand. Jane?" It was as though he attempted to excuse a fault. She extend'Hl her arms toward him across- th body of the dead man and took his hands in hers. "And I would have thrown away a love like that!" she said. The next morning they set out upon tlie short journey to Tarzan's cabin. Four Waziri bore the body of the dead Kiig'.ishman. It had been the ape man's suggestion that Clayton be bur fed beside the former Lord CJreystoke near the edge of the jungle against the cabin that the older man had built. Jane Porter was glad that it vfas to lie so. and in her heart of hearts she wondered at the marvelous fineness of character of this wondrous man, who, though raised by brutes and among brutes, had the true chivalry and ten derness which one ouly associates with the refinements of the highest civiliza tion. They had proceeded sonie three miles of the live that had separated them from Tarzan's own beach when the Waziri who were ahead stopped sud denly, pointing in amazement at a strange figure approaching them along the beach. It was a man with a shiny f.ilk hat. who walked slowly with bent head and hands clasped behind him underneath the tails of his long black coat. At sight of him Jane Porter uttered a little cry of surprise and joy and ran j quickly ahead to meet him. At the souuu or ner voice the old man looked up, and when lie saw who it was con fronting him he, too. cried out in relief and happiness. As Professor Archi medes y. Porter folded his daughter in his arms tears streamed down his seamed old face, and it was several minutes before he could control hiru- self sufficiently to speak. When a moment later he recognized Tarzan it was with difficulty that they could conTince Lim that his sorrow had not unbalanced his mind, for with the other memlers of the party he had l,,en so thoroughly convinced that the ape-man was dead it was a problem fo"rec6ucTle the conviction with the very lifelike appearance of Jane's "for fait pod." The old man was deeply touched at the news of Clayton's death. "I cannot understand it," he said. "M. Thuran assured us that Clayton passed away many days ago." "Thuran Is with you?" asked Tar zan. "Yes. lie but recently found us and led us to your cabin. We were camped but a short distance north of it. Rless me. but he will be delighted to see you both." "And surprised." commented Tar zan. A short time later the strange party came to the clearing in which stood the ape-man's cabin. It was filled with people coming and going, and almost the first whom Tarzan saw was D'Ar not "Paulf he cried. "In the name of sanity, what are you doing here? Or are we all insane?" It was quickly explained, however, as were many other seemingly strange things. D'Arnot's ship had been cruis ing along the coast on patrol duty when, at the lieutenant's suggestion, they had anchored off the bttle land locked harbor to have another look at the cabin and the jungle in which many of the officers and men had ta ken part iu exciting adventures two years before. On landing they had found Lord Tennington's party, and arrangements were being made to take them all ou board the following morn ing and carry them back to civiliza tion. Hazel Strong and her mother. Es meralda, and Samuel T. Philander were almost overcome by happiness at Jane Porter's safe return. Her escape seemed to them little short of miracu lous, and it was the consensus of opin ion that it could have been achieved by no other man than Tarzan of the Apes. They loaded th 'ir.comfortable ape-man with eulogies and attentions until he wished himself back iu the amphitheater of the apes. All were interested in the savage Waziri. and many were the gifts the black men received from these friends of their king, but when they learned that he might sail away from them upon the great canoe that lay at an chor a mile o3f shore they became very sad. As yet the newcomers had seen nothing of Lord Teunington aud M. Thuran. They had gone out for fresh meat early in the day and had not yet returned. "How surprised this man. whose name you say is Kokoff, will be to see you." said Jane Porter to Tarzan. "His surprise will be short lived replied the ape-man grimly, and there was that in his tone that made her look up into his face in alarm. What she read there evidently confirmed her fears, for she put her hand upon his arm and pleaded with him to leave the Russian to the laws of France. "In the heart of the jungle, dear." she said, "with no other form of right or justice to appeal to other than your own mighty muscles, you would be warranted in executing upon this man the sentence he deserves, but with the strong arm of a civilized government at your disposal it would be murder to kill him r:ow. Even your friends would have to submit to your arrest, or if you resisted it you would plunge us all into misery and unhappiness again. I cannot bear to lose you again, my Tarzan. Promise me that you will but turn him over to Captain Du franue und let the law take its course. The beast is not worth risking our happiness for." He saw the wiJom of her appeal and promised. A fcalf hour later lio kolT and Teuningtcti emerged from the jungle. They were walking side by side. Tennington was the first to note the presence of strangers in the camp. He saw the black warriors palavering with the sailors from the cruiser, aud then he saw a lithe, brown giant talk ing with Lieutenant D'Arnot and Cap tain Dufranne. "Who is that I wonder." said Tea nlngton to Kokoff. and as the Russian raised his eyes and met those of the npe-inan full upon him he staggered and went white. "Sapristi."' he cried, and before Ten nington realized what he intended he had thrown his gun to his shoulder and, aiming point blank at Tarzau. pulled the trigger. But the English man was close to him so close that his hand reached the leveled barrel a fraction of a second before the hammer fell upon the cartridge, and the bullet that was intended for Tarzan's heart whirred harmlessly above his head. P.efore the Russian could fire again the ape-man was upon him and had wrested the firearm from his grasp. Captain Dufranne. Lieutenant D'Arnot and a dozen sailors had rushed up at the sound of the shot, and now Tarzan turned the Russian over to them with out a word. He had explained the matter to the French commander be fore Rokoflf arrived, and the officer gave Immediate orders to place the Russian in irons aud confine him ou board the cruiser. Just before the guard escorted the prisoner Into the small boat that was to transport him to his tern, crary pris on Tarzan asked permission to search him and to his delight found the stolen papers concealed upon his person. The shot had brought Jane Porter and the others from the cabin, and a moment after the excitement had died down-gbe greeted; the surprised Lord Tennington. t Tarzau joined them after he had taken the papers from RokofT. and as be approached Jane Porter in troduced him to Tennington. "John Clayton, Lord Greystoke. my lord," she said. The Englishman looked his astonish ment in spit; of his most herculean efforts ;tpr arpear courteous,. and it re- The Entire Party Assembled Within the Little Cabin. quired ma uy repetitions" of the strange story of the ape-man as told ty him self, Jane Torter and Lieutenant D'Ar uot'to convince Lord Tennington that they were not all quite mad. At sunset they buried William Cecil Clayton beside the jungle graves of bis uncle and his aunt, the former Lord and Lady Greystoke. And it was at Tarzan's request that three volleys were fired over the last resting place of "a brave man. who met his death bravely." Professor Porter, who in his younger days had been ordained a minister, conducted the simple services for the dead. About the grave, with bowed heads, stood as strange a company or mourners as the sun ever looked down upon. There were French officers and sailors, two English lords. Americans and a score of savage African braves. Following the funeral Tarzan asked Captain Dufranne to delay the sailing of the cruiser a couple of days while Le went inland a few miles to fetch his "belongings." and the officer gladly granted the favor. Late the next afternoon Tarzan and his Waziri returned with the first load of "belongings." and when the party saw the ancient ingots of virgin gold they swarmed upon the ape-man with a thousand questions, but he was smil ingly obdurate to their appeals he de clined to give them the slightest clew as to the source of his immense treas ure. "There are a thousand that I left behind." he explained, "for every one that I brought away, and when these are spent 1 may wish to return for more." The next day he returned to camp with the balance of his ingots and when they were stored on board the cruiser Captain Dufranne said he felt 'ike the commander of an old tim Spanish galleon returning from the treasure cities of the Aztecs. "I don't know what minute my crew will cut my throat and take over the ship. ' he added. The nest morning, as they were pre paring to embark upon the cruiser, Tarzan. ventured a suggestion to Jane Porter. "Wild beasts are supposed to be de void of sentiment" he said, "but. nev ertheless, I should like to be married in the cabin where I was born, beside the graves of my mother and my fa ther and surrounded by the savage jungle that always has been my Lome." "Would it be quite regular, dear?" she asked. "For if it would I know of no other place In which I should rath er be married to my forest god than beneath the shade of his primeval for est" And when they spoke of it to the others they w -e assured that it would be quite regular, and a most splendid termination of a remarkable romance. So the entire party assembled within the little cabin and about the door to witness the second ceremony that Pro fessor Porter was to solemnize within three days. D'Arnot was to be best man and Hazel Strong bridesmaid until Ten nington upset all the arrangements by another of his marvelous "ideas." "If Miss Strong is agreeable," he said, taking the bridesmaid's hand in Lis. "Hazel and I think it would be ripping to make it a double wedding." The next day they sailed, and as the cruiser steamed slowly out to sea a tall man. Immaculate in white flannel and a graceful girl leaned against her rail to watch the receding shore line upon which danced twenty naked, black warriors of the Waziri. waving their war t-pears above their savage heads and shouting farewells to their de parting king. "I should hate to think that I am looking upon the jungle for the last time, dear." he said, "were it not that I know that I am going to a new world or happiness' with 3ou forever." and. bending down. Tarzan of the Apes kissed his mate upon her lips. TUE E5D. How the Trouble Starts... Constipation is the cause of many ailments and disorders that make life miserable.
