audiences of Philadelphia housewives,
since these audiences aro made up of a
larjje' percentage of women who are more
leenly Interested In the Held of domestlo

Bhe attributes this to the fact that the
housewifely spirit has taken hold of
Philadelphia women to a greater extent
than the women of most other cities, the

"BILLY" SUNDAY NOW
ON HIS WAY WEST
Evangelist Bids Good-by to
City After Address in Beth
any Church.
Somewhere out between Pittsburgh, and
Winona Lake, Ind., a tired and worn
little man is lying back In the cushioned
seats of the Pennsylvania Limited today
In an effort to get some rest and recover
some strength after having fought the
stlffest fights during the last winter and
spring that man ever fought for the
cause of right. This little man is
"Hilly" Sunday.
And that the admirers of the evangelist
and those persons who had seen the light
of salvation in his great wooden taber
nacle appreciated tho opportunity to start
him on his well-deserved rest was Indi
cated by the thousands who assembled at
Broad Street Station last night and
cheered and sang him on his way. That
"Billy" appreciated the demonstration
was shown by the tears on his wrinkled
cheeks, while his heavy Jaw dropped and
a smile spread across his face as he heard
the throng sing "God Bo With Vou Till
We tMeet Again." When they had finish
ed he waved a farewell and then hurried
to his car.
Almost 6000 men and women, all who
were fortunate enough to have tickets of
admission, were In Bethany Presbyterian
Church, 22d and Balnbrldge streets, last
night to hear Sunday In his farewell ad
dresses. He had stopped over in Philadel
phia long enough to have dinner with his
good friend, John Wanamaker, and. at
Mr. Wanamaker's request, to speak to
tho members of the congregation of Beth
any, Bethany Temple and the John
Chambers Memorial churches, all Wana
maker organizations, last night.
"Billy" Is now on his way to his West
ern home, where he Intends to spend th
summer In complete rest. His home Is
a bis apple ranch In the Hood River sec
tlon of Oregon, riot far from Portland, On
his way there he will stop over for a-brlef
period at his bungalow at Winona Lake
but It was his expectation that , he would
reach the mountains of the Far West by

Somewhere, perhaps In Germantown, or

around without a destination.
Its name la. Tlllic, and tho bird Is
patriotic, which 1b evident by tho color
of Its plumage. The parrot has a red
breast, white head and blue wings, and
what's moro Is decidedly Independent,
which shows that It is thoroughly Ameri

antly from Its cage, suspended from the
limb of a tree, when the cage fell and
the bottom fell out.
After extricating herself from the
wreckage, Tlllle (lew away, and her
owner, Alfred Waterfall, of A3 Manhelm
street, Germantown, has received no clue
as to her whereabouts, His two little
children, who were Tlllle's playmates,
are greatly distressed.
They miss the bird greatly, because she
used to fly upstairs and call them every
morning for breakfast. In fact, she
would not eat until they appeared at the
table, Unlike other birds, Tlllle had a
wonderful appetite. Sho could eat any
thing from Yorkshire pudding to a Yar
mouth bloater and was also- very fond of
potato chips and lamb chops.
All the children In the. neighborhood
liked Tlllle, She was pretty and proud
and she knew, too, when others praised
her. On such occasions her chest went

CHAPTER ix-(Contlnucd).
When Kulonga nwoke ho found that
his bow and arrows had disappeared. Tho
black warrior was furious and fright
ened, but more frightened than furious.
Ho searched the ground below the tree,
nnd ho searched tho tree above tho
ground; but there was no sign of either
bow or arrows or of the nocturnal
mnrauder.
Kulonga was patilc-strickon. His spear
he had hurled at Kala and had not re
covered, and, now that his bow and ar
rows were gone, he was defenseless ex
cept for n single knife. His only hope
lay In reaching tho village of Mbonga
ns quickly as his legs would carry him.
Thalt he was not far from home he was
certain, so he took tho trail nt a rapid
trot.
From n great nfass of Impenetrable foll
ago a few yards away emerged Tarzan
of tho Apes to swing quietly In his wnki,
Kulonga's bow nnd nrrows wore se
curely tied high In the top of a giant
tree from which a patch of bark hnd
been removed by n sharp knife near to
the ground, nnd a branch hnlf cut
through and left hanging nbout fifty
feet higher up. Thus Tarzan blazed the
forest trails and marked his caches.
As Kulonga continued his Journey Tar
zan closed up on him until he traveled
almost over tho black's head. His rope
ho now held colled In his right hand; lie
waB almost ready for the kill.
Tho moment was delayed only because
Tarzan was nnxlous to nscertoln tho
black warrior's destination, and pres
ently he was rewarded, for they came
suddenly In view of a great clearing,
at one end of which lay many strange
lairs.
Tarzan was directly over Kulonga ns
he made the discovery. The forest ended
abruptly and beyond lay two hundred
yards of planted fields between tho Jun
gle and the village.
Tarzan must act quickly or his prey
would be gone; but Tarzan's life training,
loft so little space between decision and
action when nn emergency confronted
him that there was not even room for
the shadow of a thought between.
So it was that ns Kulonga emerged
from tho snadow of the Jungle a slender
coll of rope Bped sinuously nbavo him
from the lowest branch of a mighty tree
directly upon the edge of the fields of
Mbonga, nnd ere tho king's son had
taken a half dozen steps Into the clear
ing a quick noose tightened about his
neck.
So quickly did Tarzan of the Apes
drag back his prey that Kulonga's cry of
alarm was throttled In his windpipe.
Hnnd over hand Tarzan drew the strug
gling black until he hnd him hanging by
his neck In midair; then Tarzan climbed
to a larger branch, drawing the still
threshing victim well up Into the shelter
ing verdure of the tree.
Here he fnstened tho rope securclv to
a stout branch nnd then, descending,
plunged his hunting knlfo Into Kulonga's
heart. Kala was avenged.
Tnrzan examined the black minutely;
never had he seen nny other human
being. The knife with Itr, sheath and
belt cnught his eye: he appropriated them.
A copper anklet nlso took hli fancy, and
this he transferred to his own leg.
He examined nnd admired the tattooing
on the forehead and breast. He marveled
at the sharp-filed teeth. He Investigated
and appropriated the feathered head
dress, and then he prepared to get down
to business, for Tarzan of tho Apes wns
hungry, and here was meat meat of the
kill, which Jungle ethics permitted him
to eat.
How may we Judge hlm.by what stand
ards, this ape-man with the heart and
head and body of an English gentleman
and tho training of a wild beast?
Tublat, whom he had hated and who
had hated him, he had killed In fair
fight, and yet never had the thought of
eating of Tublat's Mesh entered his head
It would have been as revolting to him
as Is cannibalism to us.
nut who was Kulonga that he might not
be eaten as fairly as Hprta, the boar,
or Bara, the deer? Was he not simply
another of the countless wild things of
the Jungle who preyed upon one another
to satisfy the cravings of hunger?
Of a sudden a strange doubt stayed his
hfnd Had not his books taught him
that he was a man? And was not The
Archer a man also?
Did men eat men? Alas, he did not
know. Why, then, this hesitancy! Once
more he essayed the effort, but of a
sudden a qualm of nausea overwhelmed
him. He did not understand,
All he knew was that he could not eat
tho flesh of this black man, and thus
hereditary Instinct, ages old, usurped the
functions, of his untaught mind and saved
him from transgressing a world-wide law
of whose very existence he was Ignorant.
Qujckly he lowered Kulonga's body to
the ground, removed the noose and took
to the trees again.

THE APES
touched Ihe village, nnd to thl-i spot he
made his 'way, lured by a fever of curi
osity to behold animal of his own kind,
nnd to learn more of their ways and
xlew the strange lairs In which they
lived.
His navage life among the fierce wild
brutes of the Jungle left no opening for
miy thought that these could bo nught
else than enemies. .Similarity of form led
him Into no erroneous conception of the
welcome that would be accorded him
should he be discovered by lhc?e, the first
of his own kind he hnd ever teen.
Tarzan of the Apes was no sentimental
ist. He knew nothing of the brotherhood
of man. All things outside bin own tribe
were hlc deadly enemies, with the few
exceptions of which Tnntor, the elephant,
wan a marked example.
nd he renllzcd all this without malice
or hatred To kill was the law of the
wild world he knew Few were his
primitive pleasures, but the greatest of
these wns lo hunt and kill, and so he
ot corded to others tho right to cherish
the snme tlcnlres ns he, even though he
himself might be the object of their
hunt.
Ilia straiigp te had left him neither
morose nor bloodthirsty. That he Jovetl
In killing, and that he killed with a Joy
ous lnugh upon his handsome lips be
tokened no Innate cruelty. He killed for
food most often but, being a man, he
sometimes killed for pleasure, a thing
which no other animal does; for It has
remained for nun alone among all crea
tuics to kill soiu-elcksly and wantonly
fot tho mere pleasure of Inflicting suffer
ing nnd death.
And when he killed for revenge, or In
self-defcnre, ho did that nlso without
hsterla, but It wa3 a very business-like
proceeding which ndmltted of no levity.
So It was tint no.v, ns he cautlouslv
approached the vlllnge of Mbonga, he
wns quite prepared cither to kill or be
killed should ho be discovered. Ho pro
ceeded with unwonted stealth, for Ku
longa had taught him great respect for
the little Rhnrp splinters of wood which
dealt death so swlftl and unerringly.
At length he came to a great tree,
heavy lnclcn with thl;k foliage nnd loaded
with pendant loop3 ot plant creepers.
From this almost Inpenctrnblo bower
above the vlllngo ho crouched, looking
down upon the sceno bolow him, wonder
ing over every feature of this new,
strnngc life.
Thcro were naked children running and
playing In tho vlllngo street Thcro
v.cro women grinding dried plantain In
crude stone mortnrs, while others wcro
fashioning cakes from the powdered flour.
Out In tho fields he could sec still other
women hoeing, weeding or gathering.
All worn strange protruding girdles of
dried grass about their hips nnd many
wro loaded with brass nnd copper nnk
lets, armlets and bracelets. Around
many n dusky neck hung curiously
cnlltd strands of wire, while several were
further ornamented by hugo nose rings.
Tnrznn of the Apes looked with grow
ing wonder nt these strange crcntures.
Dozing In the shade he saw several men,
while nt the extreme outskirts of the
clearing he occasionally caught glimpses
of nrmed warrlots apparently guarding
tho village against surprise from an at
tacking enemy.
Ho noticed that tho women alone
worked. Nowhere wns theio evidence of
a man tilling the Holds or performing
nny of tho homely duties of the village.
Finally his eyes rested upon n woman
directly beneath him.
Itcfore her was a smnll cauldron
standing over a low lire and In It bub
bled a thick, reddish, tnrry mass. On
ono sldo of her lay n quantity of wooden
nrrows tho points of which she dipped
into tho seething substnncc, then Inylng
them upon a narrow rack of boughs
which stood upon tier other side
Tarzan of the Apes was fascinated.
Here was the secret of the terrible de
slructlveness of The Archer's tiny mis
slles. He noted the extreme care which
tho woman look that none of the mntlcr
should touch her hands, nnd once when
a particle spattered upon ono of her
fingers he saw her plunge the member
Into a vessel of water and quickly rub
the tiny stain away with a handful of
leaves,
Tarzan of tho Apes knew nothing of
poison, but his shrewd rensonlng told
him that It was this deadly stuff that
killed, and not the little arrow, which
wag merely the messenger that carried
It Into the body of Its victim.
How he should like to have more of
those tittle death-dealing slivers, If the
woman would only leave her work for
an Instant he could drop down, gather
Up a handful, nnd be back In the tree
again beforo she drew three breaths,
As lie was trjlng to think out some
plan to distract her attention he heard
n wild cry from across the clearing. He
looked and saw n black warrior stand
ing beneath tho very tree In which he
had killed tho murderer of Kala nn hour
before.
Tho fellow wns shouting and waving
his spear above his head. Now and
again he would point to something on
tho ground beforo him.
Tho vlllnge was In an uproar Instantly.
Armed men rushed from tho Interior of
many a hut and raced madly ncross the
clearing toward the excited sentry.
After them trooped the old men, nnd the
women and children, until, In a moment,
the vlllnge was deserted.
Tarrnn of the Apes know that they had
found the body of his victim, but that
Interested him far less than the fact that
no one remained In the vlllago to prevent
his tnklng a supply of the arrows which
lay below him.
Quickly and noiselessly ho dropped to
the ground beside the cauldron of poison.
For n moment he stood motionless, his
quick, bright eyes scanning the Interior of
the palisade.
No one was In sight. His eyes rested
upon the open doorway of a nearby hut.
Ho would take a look within, thought
Tnrzan, and so, cautiously, he approached
the low thatched building.
For a moment he stood without, listen
ing Intently. There was no sound, and he
glided Into the seml-dnrkness of tho In
terior. Weapons hung against tho walls long
spears, strangely shaped knives, n couple
of narrow shields. In the ccntro of the
room was a cooking pot, and nt the fnr
end a. litter of dry grasses covered by
woven mats which evidently served the
owners ns beds and bedding. Several hu
man skulls lay upon tho floor.
Tnrzan of the Apes felt of each article,
hefted the spears, smelted of them, for he
"saw" largely through his sensitive nnd
highly trained nostrils. He determined to
own one of these long, pointed sticks, but
he could not take ono on this trip be
cause of the arrows he meant to carry.
One by one, as he took each artlclo from
the walls, ho placed them In n pile In the
ccntro of the room, and on top of nil he
plnced the cooking pot. Inverted, and on
top of this he laid one of the grinning
skulls, upon which he fastened the head
dress of the dead Kulouga.
Thon he stood back and surveyed his
work, and grinned. Tarzan of the Apes
was a Joker.
But now he heard, without, tho sounds
of many voices, nnd long mournful howls,
and mighty walling. Hi- was stnrtlcd.
Had ho remained too long?1 Quickly ho
reached the doorway and peered down tho
vlllngo sticet toward the village gate.
The natives were not yot in sight,
though ho could plainly hear them np
proachlng ncross the plantation. They
must be very near.
Llko a flnsh he sprang ncross the open
ing to the pile of nrrows. Gathering up
nil he could carry under one arm. he over
turned the seething cauldron with a kick,
and disappeared Into tho foliage nbovt,
Just as the first of the returning natives
entered the gate at the far end uf the
vlllago street. Then he turned to watch
the proceeding below, poised like some
wild bird ready to take swift wing at tho
first sign of danger.
Tho nntlvcs filed up the street, four of
them bearing the dead body of Kulonga.
Behind trailed the women, uttering
strange cries nnd weird lamentation. On

They are cured without free sulphur. For that
reason they are free from that rapid deteriora

The springy RED RUBBER contracts on cuts
and keeps them from spreading. The extra

they came to the portals of Kulongi'
hut. the vefy one In -which Tarzah haI
wrought lils depredations.
Scarcely had half a dozen entered the
building ere they came rushing out In
wild, jabbering confusion. The others
hastened to gather nbout There was
much excited gesticulating, pointing and
chattering; then several of the warriors
approached and peered within
Finally an old fellow with many ornft
menls of metnl about his Arms and legs,
nnd a nccktaco of dtloU human hands de
pending Upon his chest, entered the hut
It wns Mbonga, the king, father of
Kulonga.
For n few moments all were silent,
Then Mbonga emerged, a look ot mingled
wrath and superstitious fear writ upon
his hideous countennuce. He spoke a few
words to the assembled warriors, and In
an Instant the men were flying through
the llttlo village searching minutely every
hut nnd corner within the palisade
Scarcely had the search commenced
than the overturned cauldron was discov
ered, and with It the theft of the poi
soned arrows. Nothing more they found,
nnd it was a thoroughly awed and fright
ened group of savages which huddled
around their king a few moVnents Inter
Mbonga could explain nothing of tho
strange events that had taken place. The
finding of the stilt warm body of Ku
longa on the very vergo of their fields
and within easy earshot of the village
knifed and stripped at the door of his
father's home, was in Itself sufficiently
mysterious, but these last awesome dis
coveries within the village, within the
dead Kulonga's own hut, filled their
hearts with dismay, and conjured In their
poor brains only the most frightful of
superstitious explanations.
Thoy stood In little groups, talking lri
low tones, nnd ever casting affrighted
glances behind them from their great
rolling eyes.
Tarzan of the Apes watched them tor
awhile from his lofty perch In the great
tree. There was much In their demeanor
which he could not understand, for o
superstition he wns Ignorant, nnd of feau
of any kind he had but a vague concep
tion. Tho sun wns high In the heavens. Tar
zan had not broken fast this day, and It
waB many miles to whore lay the tooth
some remains of Horta the boar.
So he turned his back upon the village
of Mbongn and melted away Into the
leafy fastness of tho forest.
It was not yet dark when he reached
the tribe, though he stopped to exhume
and devour the remains of the wild boar
he had cached tho preceding day, and
again to take Kulonga's bow and arrows
from the treo top In which he had hidden
them.
It was a well-laden Tnrzan who dropped
from the branches Into the midst of the
tribe of Kercliak,
AVIth swelllnc chest he narrated the
glories of his adventure nnd exhibited the
spoils of conquest.
Kercliak grunted and turned away, forea!
ho was Jealous ot this strange member
of his band. In his little evil brain he
Bought for some excuse to wreak hjs
hatred upon Tarznn.
The next day Tarzan was practicing
with his bow and arrows at the first
gleam of dawn. At first ho lost nearly
every bolt ho shot, but finally he learned
to guide the little shafts with fair ac
curacy, and era a month had passed he
was no mean shot; but his proficiency had
cost him nearly his entire supply of ar
rows. The tribe continued to find the hunting
good In the vicinity of the bench, and so
Tnrzan of the Apes varied his archery
practice with further Investigation of hli
father's choice though little atore of
books.
