Bluefish Arriving in Abundant Quantity and Will Replace Shad Next Week Vegetables and Strawberries in Good Supply. Thrifty housewives are much chagrined over the continual advance of meat prices, which within the laBt week havo taken mother leap, bringing tho figures up to the highest records In many years. Beet has advanced 2 cents and lamb 4 cents, veal remains stationary, but pork also 1b expected to make a new high mark In the near future. Even at tho advanced prices somo dealers In tho lo cal markets complain of dlmculty In get ting all the meat thoy need for their trade John T. Strickland, of the South Street Market, declared today that ho had never known beef so high In price beforo In his CO years' experience, whllo lamb has reached Its highest price In 10 yenrs. Tho reason for tho high prices, it Is said, Is tho shipping to Europe of virtually alt tho Argontlno beef which formerly enmo to this country, thus causing a shortage In tho Bupply here. ,...,, A feature of tho meat market this week Is the appearance of spring lamb which Is coming In plentifully and 13. therefore, expected to relieve the strin gency In that commodity. The price of new lamb Is no higher than It was laut year, selling at 35 cents a pound. Abundant supplies of fresh bluoflsh nro arriving dally now, and will provo a good substitute for shad, which will see tho last of Its run next week. They nro sell ing at 15 cents a pound.

Instead of killing the ape, demands his surrender. CHAPTER. XII-Cont!nued). "Ka-goda?" repeated Tarzan. "Ka-goda!" cried Terltoz. "Listen," said Tarzan, casing up a trifle, but not releasing his hold. "I am Tarzan, King of tho Apes, mighty hunter, mighty fighter. In all tho Jungle there Is none so great. "Tou have said: 'Ka-goda' to mc. All the trlbo havo heard. Quarrel no moro with your king or your people, for next time I shall kill you. Do you under stand?" "Huh," assented Terkoz. "And you are satisfied?" "Huh," said tho apo. Tarznn let him up, and in a few min utes nil were back nt their vocations, as though naught had occurred to mar the tranquillity of their prlmoval forest haunts. But deep In the minds of tho opes was rooted the conviction that Tarzan was a mighty fighter and a strange creature Strango because ho had had it in his power to kill his enemy, but had allowed him to live unharmed. That nfternoon ns tho tribe came to gether, as was their wont before dark ness settled on the Jungle, Tarzan, his wounds washed In the limpid waters of tho Httlo stream, called the old males about him. "You havo seen again today that Tarzan of the Apes Is the greatest arnong jou," ho said. "Huh," they replied with ono voice, "Tarzan Is grcnt." "Tarzan," he continued, "Is not an ape. He Is not like his people. His ways are not their ways, and so Tarzan Is going back to the Inlr of his own kind by the waters of the great lake which has no further shore. You must choose another to rule you, for Tarzan will not return." And thus young Lord Greystoko took the first step toward the goal which he had set tho finding of other white men like himself. chapter xnr. HIS OWN KIND. The following morning, Tarzan, lame and sore from the wounds of his battle with Terkoz, set out toward the west and the sea coast. He traveled very slowly, sleeping In the Jungle at night, and reaching his cabin late the following morning. For several days he moved about but little, only enough to gather what fruit and nuts he required to satisfy the de mands of hunger. In ten days he was quite sound again, except for a terrible, half-healed scar, which, starting nbove his left eye run across the top of his head, ending at tho right ear. It was the mark left by Terkoz when he hod torn the scalp away. During his convalescence Tarzan tried to fashion a mantle from the skin of Babor, which had Iain all this time In the cabin. But he found the hide had dried as stiff aB a board, and as he knew naught of tanning, he was forced to abandon lite cherished plan. Then he determined to filch what few garments he could from one of the black men of SIbonga's village, for Tarzan of the Apes had decided to mark hl3 evolution from the lower orders In every possible manner, and nothing seemed to him a moro distinguishing badge of man hood than ornaments and clothing. To this end, therefore, he collected the various arm and leg ornaments he haj taken from the black warriors who had succumbed to his swift and silent noose, and donned them all after the way he had seen them worn. About his neck hung the golden chain from which depended the diamond en crusted locket of his mother, the Lady Alice. At his back was a quiver of ar rows slung from a leatnern snoumer Deit, another piece of loot from some van quished black. About his waist was a belt of tiny strips of rawhide fashioned by himself as a support for the home-made scabbard In which hung his father's hunting knife. The long bow which had been Kulonga a hung over his left shoulder. The young Lord Greystoke was Indeed a strange and warlike figure, his mass of black hair falling, to his shoulders be hind and cut with his hunting knife to a rude bang upon his forehead, that It might not fall before his eyes. His straight and perfect figure, muscled as the best of the ancient Itoman gladia tors must havo been muscled, and yet with the soft and sinuous curves of a Greek god. told at a glance the wqn drous combination of enormous strength with suppleness and speed. A personification, was Tarzan of the Apes, of tho primitive man, the hunter, the warrior. ..,,. , With the noble poise of his handsome head upon those broad shoulders, and the Ore of Ufa and intelligence in those fine, clear eyes, he might readily have typified some deral-god of a, wild and warlike by gone people of his ancient forest. But of these things Tarzan did not think. He was worried because be had no clothing to Indicate to all the Jungle folk that he was a man and not an ape. and grave, doubt often entered his mind as to whether he might not yet become an ape. Was not hair commencing to grow upon. bis face! All tie ape had hair upon THE APES theirs, but tho black men were entirely hairless, with very few exceptions. True, he had seen pictures In his books of men with great masses of hnlr upon lip and cheek nnd chin, but, nevertheless, Tarznn was afraid. Almost dally he whetted his keen knife and scrnped nnd whittled at his ounp beard to eradicate this degrading emblem of npehood And so he learned to shave rudely and painfully, It Is true but, nevertheless, effectively. When he felt qulto strong again, after his bloody battle with Ter07, Tarzan Bet off ono morning towards Mbonga's village. He was moving carelessly along a winding Jungle trail, Instead of making his progress through tho trees, when suddenly he came face to face with a black warrior. The look of surprise on the savage faco was almost comical; and before Tarzan could unsllng his bow the fellow hnd turned and fled down tho path crying out In alarm ns though to others beforo him. Tarznn took to the trees In pursuit, and In a few moments enme In view of thu men desperatoly striving to escape There were threo of them, and they wero racing madly In slnglo file througn the dense undergrowth. Tarzan easily dlatnnced them, nor did they sco his silent passage above their heads, nor noto tho crouching figure squatted upon a low branch ahead of them beneath which tho trail led them Tarzan let the first two pass beneath him, but ns tho third came swiftly on, tho quiet noose dropped about tho black throat. A quick Jerk drew It taut. Thoro was an agonized scream from tho victim, and his fellows turned to sco his struggling body rise as by maglo slowly Into tho dense follago of tho trees above With affrighted shrieks they wheeled once more nnd plungod on In their effort to escaoe. Tarzan dlspntched his prisoner quickly and silently! removed tho weapons and ornnments, nnd oh, tho greatest Joy of all a handsomo doeskin breechclolh, which ho quickly transferred to IiIb own person. Now Indeed was he dressed ns a man should be. None there was who could now doubt his high origin. How ho should liked to havo returned to tho ttlbc lo parado beforo their envious gazo this wondrous finery. Taking the body across his shoulders, ho moved moro slowly through the treos toward tho little palisaded village, for ho again needed arrows. As he approached qulto close to the cn closuro ho saw an excited group surround Ing the two fugitives, who, trembling with fright and exhaustion, were Bcarco able to recount tho uncanny details of their adventure. Mlrnndo, they said, who had been ahead of them a short distance, had suddenly come screaming toward them, crying that a terrible white nnd naked warrior was pursuing him. The threo of them had hurried toward tho village as rapidly as their legs would carry them Again Miranda's shrill cry of mortal terror had caused them to look back, and thero they had seen the most horrible sight their companion's body flying up wards Into tho trees, his arms and legs beating the air and his tongue protruding from his open mouth. No other sound did ho utter nor was there any crcaturo In sight about him. The villagers wero worked up Into a Btato of fear bordering on panic, but wlso old Mbonga affected to feel considerable skepticism regarding tho tale, and attrib uted the whole fabrication to their fright In the fnce of some real danger. "You tell us this great story," he Bald, "because you do not dnro to speak the truth. You do not daro admit that when tho Hon sprang upon Mlrando jou ran away and left him. You are cowards." Scarcely had Mbonga ceased speaking when a great crashing of branches In the trees above them caused the blacks to look up In renewed terror. The sight that met their eyes made even wise ol I Mbonga shudder, for there, turning and twisting In the air, came the dead body of Mlrando, to sprawl with a sickening reverberation upon the ground at their feet. With one accord tho blacks took lo their heels; nor did they stop until the last of them was lost In tho dense shadows of the surrounding Jungle. Again Tarzan came down Into the vil lage and renewed his supply of arrows, and ate of the offering of food which the blacks had made to appease his wrath. Before he left he carried the body of Mlrando to tho gato of the village, and propped It up against the palisade In auch a way that tho dead race seemed to be peering around the edge of the pate-post down the path which led to the jungle. Then Tarzan returned, hunting, nlwajj hunting, to tho cabin by the beach, It took a dozen attempts on the part of tho thoroughly frightened blacks to re enter their village, past the horrible, grin ning face of their dead fellow, and whe'i they found the food and arrows gone they knew, what they had only too well feared, that Mlrando had seen the evil spirit of the Jungle. That now seemed to them the logical explanation. Only those who saw this terrible god of the Jungle died; for was It not true that none left alive In the village had ever seen him? Therefore, those who had died at his hands must have seen him and paid the penalty with their lives, A long as they supplied him with ar rows and food he would not harm them unless they looked upon him, so It was ordered by Mbonga that In addition to the food offering thero should also be laid out an offering of arrows for this Munango-Keewatl, and this was done from then on. If you ever chance to pars that far off African village you will still see beforo a tiny thatched hut, built Just without the village, a little Iron poTIn which Is a quantity of food, and beside It a quiver of well-daubed arrows. When Tarzan came In sight of the beach where stood his cabin, a strange and unusual spectacle met his vision.

DORAN COMPANY, New VorH harbor floated n great ship, and on tho beach a smalt boat 'was drawn up. But, most wonderful of alt, a number of white men like himself were moving about between the beach nnd his cabin. Tarzan saw that In many ways they wero like the men of his picture books. Ho crept closer through the trees until he was quite close above them. Thero were ten men. Swarthy, sun tanned, vlltanlous looking fellows. Now they had congregated by tho boat nnd were talking In loud, angry tones, with much gesticulating nnd shaking of flats Presently one of them, a little, mean faced, black-bearded fellow with a countenance which reminded Tarzan of Pamba, the rat, laid his hand upon the shoulder of a giant who stood next him, and with whom all the others had been arguing and quarreling. The little man pointed Inland, so that tho giant was forced to turn away from the others to look In the direction Indi cated. As ho turned, the little, mean faced man drew a revolver from his belt nnd shot the giant In the haek. The big fellow threw his hands nbove Ills head, his knees bent beneath him, nnd without n sound ho tumbled forward upon the beach, dead Tho report of tho weapon, the first that Tarzan had ever heard, filled him with wonderment, but even this unaccustomed sound could not startle his hentthy nerses Into even n semblance, of panic. The conduct of the white strangers It was that caused him the greatest per turbation He puokered his brows into a fronn $t deep thought. It was well, thought he, that he had not given way to his first Impulse to rush forwnrd nnd greet theso whlto men as brothers They wero cvldentl1, no dlfforent from the black men no moro civilized than tho npes no less cruel than Sobor For n moment the others stood looking at tho little, mean-faced man nnd tho giant lying dead upon tho beach. Then ono of them laughed and slapped tho ltttlo man upon tho bnck. Thoro was much moro talk nnd gesticulating, but less quarreling. Presently thoy launched tho boat and alt Jumped Into It nnd rowed away toward the great ship, whore Tarzan could see other figures moving about upon tho deck. When they had clambered aboard, Tar zan dropped to enrth behind a great treo nnd crept to his cabin, keeping It always between himself and tho ship. Slipping In nt tho door ho found tint everything had been ransacked. HH books and pencils strewed the floor. Hit weapons and shields and other Httlo store of treasurers wero littered about. As ho saw what had been done a great wave of anger surged through him, and the new irmdo scar upon hli forehead stood suddenly out, a bar of Inflamed crimson against Mb tawny hide. Quickly ho ran to tho cupboard nnd searched In the far recess of tho lower shelf. Ah! Ho breathed a sigh nf lellcf as ho drew out tho little tin box, nnd, opening It, found his greatest treasures undisturbed. Tho photograph of tho smiling, strong faced young man, nnd tho Httlo black puzzle book wero safe. What wna that? Ills quick car had caught a faint but unfamiliar sound. Running to tho window Tarznn looked toward the harbor, nnd there ho saw that a boat was being lowered from tho great ship beside the ono already In the water Soon ho saw many people clambering over the sides of tho larger vessel and dropping Into tho boats. They wero com ing back in full force. For n moment longer Tarzan watched while a number of boxes nnd bundles were lowered Into the watting boats, then, as thej- Bhoved o-r rrom trie ship's sldu, tho ape-man snatched up a piece of paper, and with a pencil printed on It for a few moments until It bore several lines of strong, well made, nlmost letter-perfect characters. This notice he stuck upon the door with a small sharp Bpllnter of wood. Then gathering up his precious tin box, his arrows, and as many bows nnd spears ns ho could carry, ho hastened through tho door nnd disappeared Into tho forest. When the two boats were beached upon the silvery sand It was a strango assort ment of humanity that clnmbcred ashore. Some SO bouIs In all there were, If tho 15 tough and vlllianoux appearing sea men could have been Bald to possess that Immortal spark, since they wore, forsooth, a most filthy and bloodthirsty looking aggregation The others of the party were of differ ent stamp. One was an elderly man, with white hair and large rimmed spectacles. His slightly stooped shoulders were draped In an Ill-fitting, though Immaculate, frock coat; a shiny silk hat added to the In congruity of hlB garb in an African Jungle. The Becond member of tho party to land was a tall young man tn whlto ducks, while directly behind came another elderly man with a very high forehead and a fussy, excitable manner. After these came a huge negress clothod like Solomon na to colors. Her great eyes rolling In evident terror first toward the junglo nnd then toward tho cursing band of sailors who were removing the balej and boxes from the boats. The last member of the party to dis embark was a girl of about 13, and It was the young man who stood at the boat's bow to lift her high and dry upon ilnnd. She gave him a brave and pretty smile of thanks, but no words passed be tween them. In Bllence the party advanced toward Submarine Monsters for American Navy It Is fitting that the United States, where the submarine torpedoboat was designed and first built, should have the latest thing in these underseas monsters. So the naval architects in Washington have designed a fighting ship that will prove the most formidable that ever patrolled the seas, as it will be the largest.

U was evident that, whatever their Intentions, all had been decided upon before they left the shlpi and so they came to the door, the sailors carry ing the boxes and bales, followed by the five who were of so different a class. The men put down their burdens, and then one caught sight of the notice which Tarzan had posted. "llo, mates!" he cried, "What's here? This sign was not posted an hour ago or I'll eat the cook." The others gathered about, craning their necks over the ihotilders of, those before them, but ns few it them could read at all, and then only after the most laborious fashion, one finally turned to the Utile old man of the top hat and frock-coat "HI, perfesser," he called, "step forrd and rend tho bloomln' notls." Thus addressed, the old man camo slowly to where the sailors stood, fol lowed by the other members of his party. Adjusting his spectacles he looked for a moment at the placard nnd then, turning Away, strolled off muttering to himself "Most remarkabte most remnrkablel" "HI, old fossil," cried the man who had first oalled on him for assistance, "did Jo think we wanted of you to read tho bloomln' notls to yourself? Come back here and read It out loud, you old barnacle." The old man stopped and, turning back, said: "Oh, yes, my dear sir, a thousand pardons. It was qulto thoughtless of me, yets very thoughtless. Most remarkable most remnrkablel" Again he faced the notice and read it through, and doubtless would have turned oft again to ruminate upon It had not the sailor grasped him roughly by tho colUr and howled Into his ear. "Read It out loud, you blithering, old Idiot." "Ah, yes Indeed, yes Indeed," replied the professor softly, and adjusting his spectacles onco more ho rend aloud: THIS IS TUB HOUSE OF TARZAN, THE KILLnR OF BEABTS AND MANY BLACK MEN. DO NOT HARM Thu THINGS WHICH ARE TAR ZAN'S TAnZAN WATCHES. TARZAN OF THE APES. "Who tho devil Is Tarzan?" cried the sailor who hnd beforo spoken. "He eWdontly speaks English," said tho young man "But what does 'Tarzan of the Apes' mean?" cried tho girl. (CONTINUED TOMORROW.) NEBRASKAN'S CAPTAIN GOT TRAINING HERE Took Seaman's Course at Gi rard College, Where Rudi ments of Navigation Were Taught. The will of Stephen Glrard was the first link In a chain of circumstances which made John S Green, of this city, captain of tho American ship Nebraskan, which is attracting world-wide attention because a holo was blown Into her off the const of Iroland, with tho strong possibility that the damage was caused by a German tor pedo. When tho famous philanthropist's pro vision for Glrard Collego wob put Into effect. It wob found that navigation was ono of tho "various cranchcB of a sound education" which his will declared should bo taught Officials of the college suy a complete course Is not offered to students of the Institution, but that tho subject Is taught In order to comply with tho terms of the foundor's will. But when. In December, 1S74, Jonns S. Green, a Philadelphia boy, entered tho collego, ho found enough navigation In the coureo of study to give him a strong deslro to follow the sea ns a calling. Nine years later, when he left Glrard, ho had been graduated from tho college proper, nnd Btnycd for a post graduate courso In navigation, In which he gained nil tho school could teach him Immediately ho started on his chosen course, sailing on tho old American clip per with J. r. Oaks. Ho rose In the mercantile marlno. When he visited this city and his collego last September, ho had JUBt ended a voyage on the American Hawaiian ship Honolulan, the first pas senger ship to sail through the Panama Canal, "If there had not been a course In navi gation In Glrard College it is probable Captain Green would never have gone Into tho mercantile marine," an official of the school said today. The captain's name Is John now, but when he entered the school he was Jonas Green, records of the Institution show, lie changed the name when he decided to become a seaman, because Jonas sounded too much llko Jonah, which Is the most unpopular name In a sailor's lexicon.

A new Invention which dance enthusi asts will greet with sighs of relief nnl with, perhaps, shouts or at least mur murs, of gratitude, has Just been put on the market for tho benefit of those who dance by phonograph, It Is a. repealer. The hostess who has felt It her duty to stand by and watch the machine or who has snatched a paltry few minutes of dancing between records will appreciate the Invention most So also will the dancers who "happen to bo nearest the machine" and so are expected to rush madly to Its rescue while tho Irritating buzz of tho needle on tho ungrooved spaces goes on. Tho mechanism Is not too complicated and its value Is obviously high. Moreover It In capable of a variety of uses. It will stop tho machine after the first flaying or after tho second, or It will keep tho same record going as long as tho machine Is wound up. Tho Perils of Fanaticism "Without desiring to criticize any one personally," said tho man who had on nod a machine for five years, "and not ad dressing mself particularly to you, Stalnforth, I would make the Irresponsi ble assertion that the man who has Just bought a phonograph Inst week Is an un mitigated pest. He knows so many things about machines and records which aro absolutely and undeniably right. He never gets even a pronunciation wrong. Now what, I ask you, Ifl the plcasuro of talk ing to n, man like that7 Yes, of courso, I passed through It. Most of us do." And then tho old-timer went on to tell about his early days. First his friends flocked to I1I3 house except those who had machines of their own to keep them at homo. But after the first few weeks ho found that this friends wero avotdlns him. Then Bushnell, v. ho used to come out frequently enough, said apropos of a business deal, "Como to lunch with mo Tuesday and we'll talk It over." "Why not como out to the house?" uas the reply. And then a great light broko on the poor fnnatlc, when Bushnell said, "But you sco I really want to talk about this." Still, most of tho conversation ono hears between phonograph records Isn't worth tho tenth part of a record Itself. Or Is It?
