CltAPTim IV
THI'3 APES
In tho forest of tho tnblelnnd a mllo
back from tho ocean old Kenphnk the
Ape wns on a rampngo of rngo nmong his
people.
Tho younger and lighter members of his
tribe scampered to tho higher branches
of tho great trees to cscnpo his wrath;
risking their lives upon branches that
scarco supported their weight rather than
face old Kerchak In ono of his fits of
uncontrolled nngcr
Tho other males scnttcred In all direc
tions, but not bcfoio the Infuilnted bruto
hnd felt tho vertebra ot ono snap be
tween his grent, foaming Jaws.
A luckless young female slipped from
an Insecure hold upon a high brnnch
nnd enmo crnshlug to the ground almost
nt Korchak'n feet.
With n wild scream ho was upon her,
tearing a great plcco from her sldo with
his mighty teeth, and striking her vi
ciously upon her head nnd shoulders
with a broken tree limb until her skull
wns crushed to a Jelly.
And then ho spied Knln, who, returning
from a search for food with her youiifi
babe, wns Ignorant of tho stnto of tho
mighty malo's temper until suddenly the
shrill wnrnlugs of her fellows caused her
to scamper madly for safety.
But Kcrclink wns close upon her, so
close that ho had almost grasped her
nnklo had sho not mndo n furious lenpi
far InCo spnee from one tree to another
a perilous chance which npes seldom If
over tnke, unless so closely, pursued by
danger thnt thero Is no alternative.
Sho made tho leap successfully, but ns
sho grasped tho limb of tho further tree
tho sudden Jar loosened tho hold of tho
tiny bnbo where It clung frnntlcally to
her neck, and sho saw tho llttlo thing
hurled, turning nnd twisting, to tho
ground 30 feet below.
With a low cry of dismay Kala rushed,
headlong to Its sldo, thoughtless now oC
tho dnnger from Kerchak; but when eho
gntherud tho wee, mangled form to her
bosom llfo had left It.
With low moans sho sat cuddling the
body to her; nor did Kerchak attempt
to molest her. With tho death of tho
liabo his flt of demoniacal rago passed
its suddenly as It had seized him.
Kerchak was a hugo king npc, weigh
ing perhaps 330 pounds. His forehead
wns extremely low nnd receding, his eyes
bloodshot, Binnll and close set to his
coarse, flat nose; his earn lnrge nnd thin,
but smaller than most of his kind.
His awful temper nnd his mighty
strength mado him supreme among tho
llttlo trlbo Into which ho had bcen born
some M years before.
Now thnt he was In his prime, thero
was no slmlnn in all tho mighty forest!
through which he roved that dared con
test his right to rulo, nor did tho other
nnd larger animals molest him.
Old Tantor, tho elephant, alono of all
tho wild savogo life, feared him not
nnd, ho alone did Korchak fear. When
Tantor trumpeted, tho great apo scurried
with his fellows high among tho trees
of tho second terrace.
Tho trlbo of anthropoids over which
Korchnlt ruled with nn Iron hand and
bared fnngs, numbered some six or eight
fnmllles, each family consisting ot an
adult male with his wives and their
young, numbering In all some 60 or "0
apes.
Kala was tho youngest wllo of a malo
called Tublat, meaning broken nose, nnd
tho child sho had seen dashed to enrth
was her ilrst; for she was but nine or ten
years old.
Notwithstanding her youth, she wns
large and powerful a splendid, clean
limbed animal, with a round high fore
head, which denoted more Intelligence
than most of her kind possessed. So. also,
eho had a greater capacity for mother
love and mother sorrow.
But she was still an ape, a huge, fierce,
terrlblo beast of a species closely allied
to tho gorilla; yet moro Intelligent;
which, with tho strength of their cousin.
mndo her kind tho most fearsome of
those awe-inspiring progenitors of man.
When the trlbo saw that Kerchak's
rago had ceased they camo slowly down
from their arboreal retreats and pursued
again the various occupations which ho
had Interrupted.
Tho young played and frolicked about
among tho trees and bushes. Some of
the ndults lay prone upon tho soft mat
of dead and decaying vegetation which
covered the ground, while others turned
over pieces of fallen branches and clods
of earth In search of tho small bugs
and reptiles which formed a part of their
food.
Others, again, searched the surround
ing trees for fruit, nuts, small birds and
eggs.
They had passed an hour or so thus
when Kerchak called them together, and,
with a word of commnnd to them to fol
low him, set off toward tho sea.
Thnv traveled for tne most part upon
tho ground, whero It was open, follow
ing -the path of the great elephants
whose comings nnd goings break the only
roads through those tangled mazes of
bush, vine, creeper and tree. When they
walked It was with a rolling, awkward
motion, placing the knuckles of their
closed hnnds upon tho ground nnd swing
ing their ungainly bodies forward.
But when the way was through the
lower trees they moved more swiftly,
swinging from branch to brnnch with the
agility of their smaller cousins, the mon
keys. Anjl all tho way Kala carried her
little dead baby hugged closely to her
breast. m .
It was Bhortly after noon when they
reached a ridge overlooking the beach
where below them lay the tiny cottage
which was Kerchak's goal.
He had seen many of his kind go to
their deaths before the loud noise made
by the little black stick In the hands at
tho strnnge white ape who lived In that
wonderful lair, and Kerchak had mado
up his brute mind to own that death
dealing contrivance, and to explore tho
Interior of that mysterious den.
He wanted, very, very much, to feel
his teeth Blnk Into the neck of the queer
animal that he had learned to hate and,
fear, and because of this, he came often
with his tribe to reccnnolter, waiting for
a time when the white ape should be off
his guard.
Of late they had quit attacking, or
even showing themselves; for every time
they had dona so ln the past, the little
stick had roared out Us terrible message,
of death to some member of the tribe.
Today (here was no sign of the man
about, and from where they watched
they could see that the cabin door was
open. Slowly, cautiously and noiselessly
they crept through the Jungle toward the
little cabin.
There were no growls, no fierce screams
of rage the little black stick had taught
them to come quietly lest they awaken
it.
On, on they came until Kerchak hlm
Belf slunk stealthily to the very door and
peered within. Behind him were two
males, and then Kala, closely straining
the little dead form to her breast.
Inside the den they saw the strange
white ape lying hajf across. a table, his
head buried In his-arms; and on the bed
lay a figure covered by a sailcloth, while
from a tiny rustic cradle came the plain
tive walling of a babe.
Noiselessly Kercb.a,lt entered, crouching
THE APES
for the charge; nnd then John Clnyton
rose with a sudden start nnd faced them.
The sight that met his eyes must havo
froicn him with horror, for there, within
tho door, Btood three great bull npes,
whllo behind them crowded many more;
how many ho nevel knew, for his re
volvers wcro hanging on tho far wnll be
side his ride, and Kerchak was charging.
When tho king npo released tho limp
form which hnd been John Clnyton, t,ord
Grcystoke, ho turned his attention toward
tho llttlo cradle; but Kala was there be
fore him, nnd when ho would havo
grnsped tho child sho snatched It herself,
and before he could Intercept her sho bait
boltctl through tho door and taken rctiiga
In n high tree.
As Bho took tip the llttlo live baby oil
Allco Clnyton sho dropped tho dead body
of her own Into tho empty cradle; for
the wall of the living had answered tho
cnll of universal motherhood within her
wild brcnBt which the dead could not still.
High up among tho branches of a
mighty tree she hugged the shrieking
Infnnt to her bosom, nnd soon tho Instinct
thnt was ns domlnnnt In this floico fc
malo ns It had been In tho brenst of his
tender nnd beautiful mother tho Instinct
of mother love reached out to the tiny
man-child's hnlf-fomted understanding,
nnd ho heenmo quiet.
Then liuiiKcr closed tho gap between
them, and tho son of nn English lord
nnd nn English lndy nursed at the breast
of Kala, the great npc.
In the meantime, tho beasts within the
cnbln were warily examining the con
tents of this strnnga lair.
Onco satisfied that Clayton wns dead,
Kerchak turned his attention to tho
thing which lay upon tho bed, covered
by a plcco of sailcloth.
Gingerly ho lifted ono corner of tho
shroud, but when ho saw the body of
tho womnn beneath he tore tho cloth
roughly from her form nnd seized the
still, white, throat In his huge, hairy
luiuds.
A moment ho let his lingers sink deep
Into tho cold flesh, nnd then, rcnllzlug
thnt sho was already dead, ho turned
from her to cxnmlno tho contents of the
room; nor did ho again molest the body
of cither I.ndy Alice or Sir John.
Tho rlllo hanging upon the wnll cnught
his Ilrst attention; It wns for this strange,
death-dealing thunder-stick that ho had
learned for months; but now that It
was within his grasp ho Bcaicely had
tho temerity to seize It.
Cautiously lie approached the thing,
ready to flee precipitately should It
speak In Its deep roaring tones, nR lio
hnd heard It speak before, the last words
to those of his Kind who, throiiRh Ig
norance or1 rashness had attneked tho
wonderful white ape that hud borno It.
Deep In the beast's Intelligence wna
something which assured him that tho
tliundor-stlck wns only dangerous when
In tho hands of one who could nianlpiilato
It, but yet It was Bcveral minutes cro
ho could bring himself to touch It.
Instead, ho wnllted back nnd forth along
tho floor beforo It, turning his head so
that never once did his eyes leave tho ob
ject of his desire.
Using his long nrms as a man uses
crutches, and rolling his huge enrenss
from sldo to side with each stilde, the
great king npc paced to and fro, uttciing
deep growls, occasionally punctuated
with that ear-plcrcing scream, thnn which
there is no more terrifying nolso In all
the Jungle.
Presently he halted beforo the rifle.
Slowly ho raised a huge hand until It
nlmost touched the shining barrel, only to
withdraw It once und continue, his hurried
pacing.
It wns as though tho great brute by this
show of fearlessness, nnd through the
medium of his wild voice, were endeavor
ing to bolster up his courage to the point
which would permit him to tako tho rlflo
In his hntfd.
Agnln he stopped, and this tlmo suc
ceeded tn forcing his reluctant hand to
the cold steel, only to snatch It away
almost Immediately and resume his rest
less bent.
Time after time this strange ceremony
was repeated, but on each occasion with
Increased confidence, until, Anally, the
rifle was torn from its hook and lay in
the grasp of tho great brute.
Finding that It hnrmed him not. Ker
chak began to examine It closely. Ho felt
of It from end to end, peered down tho
black depths of the muzzle, lingered tha
sights, tho breech, the stock and flnnlly
the trigger.
During all these operations tho npes
who had entered sat huddled near tho
door watching their chief, whllo those
outside strained and ctowded to catch
a glimpse of what transpired within.
Suddenly Kcrchnk's finger closed upon,
the trigger. There was a deafening roar
In the llttlo roam nnd the apes at and
beyond the door fell over one another
In their wild anxiety to escape,
Kerchak was equally frightened; so
frightened, In fact, thnt he quite forgot
to throw nsldo tho author of that fear
ful noise, but bolted for tho door with
It tightly clutched In one hnnd.
As he passed through tho opening, tha
front sight of tho rlflo caught upon the
edge of the Inswung door with sufll
clent force to close It tightly after the
fleeing npe.
When Kerchak came to a halt a short
distance from the cabin and discovered
that he still held the rifle, ho dropped
It as he might have dropped a red-hot
Iron, nor did he again essay to recover
It the noise was too much for his brute
nerves; but he was now quite convinced
that the terrible stick was quite harm
less by Itself If lefy alone.
It was an hour Before tho apes could
again bring themselves to approach the,
cbln to continue their investigations,
and when they finally did so, they found
to their chagrin that tho door was closed
and so securely fastened that they coujd
not forco It.
Tho cleverly constructed latch which
Clayton had mafle for the door had
sprung as Kerchak passed out; nor could
tha apes find means of Ingress through
the heavily barred windows.
After roaming about- the vicinity for n
short time, they started back for the
deeper forests and the higher land from
whence they had come.
Kala had not once come to earth with
her little adopted babe, but now Ker
chak called to her to descend with tho
rest, and ns there was no note of anger
In his voice sho dropped lightly from
branch to branch and JoTfied the others
on their homeward march.

When they assured her that they meant
the child no harm, she permitted them to
como close, but would not allow them to

It was n though sho knew that her
baby was frail and dellcnto and feared
lest tho rough hnnds of her fellows might

Another thing sh did, nnd which mndo

memborlng tho death of her own llttlo

whllo their legs were locked beneath
their mothers' nrmplts.
Not so with Knln; she held tho smnll
form of tho little Lord Oreystoko
tightly to her brenst, whero the dainty
hands clutched the long black hair which
covered that portion of her body. Sho
had seen ono child fall from her back
to n terrlblo death, nnd she would tako

CHAPTER V
THE WHITE APE
Tenderly Kala nursed her llttlo wnlf,
wondering silently why It did nut gain'
strength and ngltlty as did the little apes
of other mothers. It wns nearly a year
from tho tlmo tho llttlo fellow camo Into
her possession before ho would walla
alone, and ns for climbing my, but how
stupid ho wns!
Kala sometimes talked with tlm olden
females nbout her young hopeful, but'
nono of them could understand how n,
child could bo so slow and backward In,
learning to earn for Itself. Why. It could
not even find food nlonc, and more thniii
12 moons had passed since Knln had
come upon It.
Hnd they known thnt the child had seen
13 moons before It had como Into Kaln'a
possession, they would hnvo considered
Its case ns absolutely hopeless, for tho
llttlo apes of their own trlbo wero as far
advanced In two or three moons ns was
this llttlo stranger after 25.
Tublnt. ICnla's husband, wns sorely
voted, nnd but for the femnlo's careful
watching would hnvo put the child out
of tho way.
"Ho will never ho n great ape," ho
argued. "Always will you have to carry
him and protect him. What good will ho
bo to tho lrlbo7 Nono; nntv n burden.
"I.ct us leTivo him quietly sleeping
nmong tho tail grasses, that you may
bear other and stronger npes to guard
us In our old ngc.''
"Never. Hiokcu Noso," replied Knln.
"If I must carry him forever, so bo It."
Anil then Tublnt went to Kerchak to
urgo him to use his nuthorlty with Kuln,
nnd forco hor tn give up little Tnrznti,
which was tho nnmo they hnd given to
tho tlnv t.oid nroystoke. nnd which
meant "Wlilte-Skln."
But when Kercliak snoko to her nbout
It, Knla threatened to run away from tho
tribe If they illd not leave her In peaco
with the child, and ns this Is one ot the
Inallcnnblo rights nf the Juuglo folk. Id
they bo dissatisfied nmong their own peo
ple, they hothcied her no more, for Knln
was n lino, clenn-llmbcil young female,
and they did not wish to lose her.
As Tnrzan Krew he made more rapid
strides, so that by the time he was 10
years old ho wsw an excellent climber,
and on the ground could do many wonder
ful things which were beyond tho powers
of his llttlo brothers nnd sisters.
In many ways did ho differ from them,
nnd they often marveled at his superior
cunning, but In strength nnd hIzo he wns
deficient; for nt 10 tho great nnthropolds
wcro fully grown, somo ot them tower
ing over six feet In height, while llttlo
Tarzan was still hut a half-grown boy.
Yet such a boy!
From early Infancy lie had used hln
hands to swing fiom branch to branch
nftcr tho manner of his giant mother,
and ns he glow older he spent hour upon

"Tl, turn, tee, tat, tat, tn, turn, turn'"
said Wnlly HelBton.
"Box," chimed In Joe Kcegnn.
Whereupon Blanche Woodhull planed nn
nlr from "Fifty Mites From Boston." a
Cohan musical farce, nnd tho l.ubln
chorus sidestepped, pirouetted nnd
pranced. For you see, nil l.ublnland Is

l.ubln Beneficial Association to be given
Its premiere nt the Broad Street Thcatio
nn Juno 2, when the Inrgest cast In cap
tivity will disport Itself that the bene
llclnl fund may prosper.
And hero bo It said In strictest secrecy
thnt tho Luhln chorus, or rather tho
fcrrlliiltio portion of It, Is of surpassing
loveliness, an nssemblago of beauteous
pulchritude mich never beforo has been
assembled under one roof. Doliatd C
Scott, secretary of tho association, snld
f.o, and ho Is a past master, n confirmed
expert, when It comes to feminine sweet
ness and looks.
Hut, lenlug nsldo nny opinion Mr
Scott may hnve. tho I.ubtn chorus Is a
delight to the eye and a rehearsal Is well
worth tho prlco of 10 admissions. If only
to henr Mr. llclston sing "Tl, turn, etc.,"
and do a dance tho like of which was
never beforo seen on this or nny other
world And then, too, thero Is Dotiglns
Slbold. Mr. Slbold is not a rogulnr chorus
man. Ho ranks nearer to the stnr grade,
but, just to help out olid to be n regular
fellow, ho tied a white cloth about his
fevered blow, doffed his coat and danced
nnd sang a cross between Tetrazzlnl nnd
Mrs Vernon Castle, If Bitch perfection
could reside within one liiimnn being.
By the way, havo you over seen Lillian

But let's glvo tho fellows a chance, too.

one, splendidly photographed, and the rolo
of the Insane wito is portrayed by Mill
vine I.oebel with stnrtllng realism and
tremendous power. The play Is far above
the averngo of photoplays and should
cause a bcnsntlon when shown to tho pub

has held nloof from them. '"
Harry J, Sllpp, 6121 Arch street, dne of
tho men Interested In minimizing" the coit
of Tula latest transit method ahd Jhof
dentally popularizing It to Buch an extent
that Jitneys will become lndespensable, is
tcsponslble for tho statement
"Wo havo had several meetings aU
ready," said he, "out at Wagner's Hall
nnd In Iho homes of some of the boys
nnd so soon ns wo got 150 men to agree
to the i eduction tho 3-cent rate will be
put into effect." . s-
According to Sllpp, the 6-cent Jitney
rale Is moro expensive than the trolley
r.ito because of tho transfer, but Wlt'n
tho price reduced thero will bo rlo logical
excuse, In his opinion, for any one slight
lug tho Jitney.
"It Is quicker, moro direct and pleas
inter becauso thero is no tandlng," said
he, "and I havo figured out that tho busi
ness, even on a 3-ccnt basis, can bo
operated at a good profit. My dally
expenses are 65 cents for gas, 30 certta
for oil, 75 for wear and tear and 50 fot
garage. A total of $2.M. Working eight
hours a day I can easily clear from S to
n nt 3 cents per passenger. I consider
this a fnlr enough return."
To make tho Jitney a permanent factor
In Philadelphia's transit facilities, SllptJ
nsscrted thnt reckless driving will have
to cease and Jitney drivers, ono and nil,
will have to seo the practicability of the
three cent fare.
"Wo enn't expect to get tho street car
trade," he explained, "If our prices are
higher or If wo aren't safe. Personally
I don't believe thero have been nny more
Jitney nccidents proportionately than
tiolioy accidents, but there Is no reasqn
why thero nhould be any."
Alicady ono 3 cent Jitney has made Its
appearance on Chestnut street. But this;, ,
Slipp asserted, was an independent Tho
nbsoolallon Is expected to act In about a
