Presently the npe-mnn lost patlenco
with their etupld Ignorance. He grasped
tho frightened Mr Phlrandcr by the
ihoulderj and before that worthy Bentle
tnan knew whether he wan beinli killed or
merely maimed for life, Tnrznn had tied
one end at his rope securely about Mr
Phllander's neck.
"Tut, tut. Mr. Philander," remonatrnted
Professor Porter; "It is most unbeseeming
In you to submit to such Indignities "
But scarcely were the words out of his
mouth ere he, too. had been seized and
securely hound by tho neck With the same
rope. Then Tarzan set off townrd the
north, leading, tho now thoroughly
lightened professor nnd his secretary.
In deathly silence they proceed for what
seemed hours to tho two tired nnd nope
less old men; but presently as they top
ped a little rise of ground they were over
joyed to see tho cabin lying beforo them,
not a hundred yards distant.
Here Tarzan released them, and, point
ing toward the little building, vanished
intb tho Jungle beside them.
"Most remarkable, most remarkable! '
gasped the professor. "But you see, Mr.
Philander, that I was quite right, as
usual; and but for your stubborn wilful
ness we should liavo escaped a series of
most humiliating, not to say dangerous
accI'dentB. Pray allow yourself to tie
guided by a more mature and practical
mind hereafter when In need of wise
counsel."
Mr F4amti1 T Philander wan ton much
rMUved. at th hanny outcome of their
adventure to take umbrage at the profes
sor's cruel fling. Instead he grasped hla
friend's arm and hastened him forward
In the direction of the cabin.
It was a much-relieved party of cast
aways that found Itself once more united
Dawn discovered them stilt recounting
their various adventures, and speculating
upon the Identity of the strange guardian
and protector they had found on this
savage shore.
Esmeralda was positive that It was nope
other than an angel of the Lord, sent
down especially to watch over them.
"Had you seen him devour the raw meat
of the Hon, Esmeralda." laughed Clayton

"Ah doan know nuflln' 'bout dat, Marse

'There was nothing heavenly about hid
vojee," aaid Jane Porter, with a tittle,
shudder at recollection of the awful roar
Which had followed tho killing of the
lioness.
"Jfor did It precisely comport with my
preconceived Ideas of the dignity of di
vine messengers," remarked Professor
Porter, "when the-ch-gentleman tied

through ths Jungle as though they had

"Then this must have been Lady Grey

dicating the poor mass of bones upon the
tea.
"The beautiful Lady Ailcc," replied
Clayton, "of whose many virtues nnd re
markablo personal charms I often have
heard my mother nd rather speak Poor,
unhappy lady," he murmured sadly.
With deep reverenco and solemnity tho
bodies of the late Lord and Lady Orey

the tiny skeleton of the bnb of Kala.

As Mr Philander was placing the frnll
bones of the Infant In a bit of sail cloth,
he examined the skull minutely. Then
he called Professor Porter to his side
and the two nrgued In low tones for
several minutes.
"Most remarkable, most remarkable,"
said Professor Porter.
"Bless me, said Mr. Philander, "we
must acquaint Mr. Claton with our dls

so great an Interest In theso people
why he had gone to such pains to save
the three men But ho did not wonder
why he had torn Sabor from the tender
flesh of the strango girl
Surely the men were stupid and ridic
ulous and cowardly. Even Manu, the
monitcy, was more Intelligent than they,
if these were crcaturen of his oun kind
he was doubtful If his past pride In

But tho girl, ah-that was a different
matter. He did not reason here. Ho
knew that she was created to be pro

Ho wondered why they had dug a great

AVhcn the grave had been filled with

toward tho cabin, and Esmeralda, still
weeping copiously for the two she had
never heard of beforo today, and who
had been dead JO years, chanced to
glance toward tho harbor. Instantly her
tears ceased.

And, sure enough, tho Arrow was being
worked townrd the open sea. slowly,
through tho harbor's entrance.
"They promised to leave us firearms
and ammunition," said Clayton. "The
merciless beasts!"
"It Is the work of that fellow they call
Snipes, I am Bure," said Jane Porter.
"King was a scoundrel, but ho had a
little sense of humanity If they had not
killed him I know that he would have
seen that we were properly provided for
before they left us to our fate."
"I regret that they did not visit us

It was but a few minutes later that the

out and lifted the great chest to the
sand. They were on the north aide of

The men nrgued angrily for a moment.

As, It was now .quite light, the party,
none of whom had eaten or slept since
the previous morning, began to bestir
themselves to prepare fond.
The mutineers of the Arrow had landed
a small supply of dried meats, canned
toups and vegetables, craxkern, flour,
t .and coffee for the five they had
marooned, and these were hurriedly
drawn upon to satisfy the craving of
lone-famished appetites.
The next task was to make the cabin
habitable, and to this end It was decided
to at on"e remove the gruesome relics
ef the tragedy which had taken place
there on some bygo.no day

Jane Porter looked at her father sadly
"Ntvcr mind, dear." she said "Tt
wouldn't havo done any good, because It
Is solely for the treasure that they killed
their officers and landed us upon this
awful shore "
"Tutr tut, child, tut, tut!" replied Pro-
icssor t-orter. "rou are a good child,
but Inexperienced In practical matters,"
and Professor Porter turned nnd walked
slowly away toward the Jungle, his
hands clasped beneath his long coattnlls
and his eyes bent upon the ground.
His daughter watched him with a
pathetic smile upon her lips, and then
turning to Mr. Philander she whispered:
"Please don't let him wander off again
as he did yesterday We depend upon
you, you know, to keep a close watch
upon him,"
"He becomes mpre difficult to handle
each day." replied Mr. Philander, with a
sigh and a shake of his head. "I pre
sume he Is now oft to report to the direc
tors of the Zoo that one of their lions
was at large last night. Oh, Miss Jane,
you don't know what I have to contend
with."
"Ye. I do, Mr. Philander; but while we
all love him, you alone are best fitted to
manage hlmj for, regardless of what he
may say to you, he respects your great
learning, and, therefore, has Immense
conflder.ee In your Judgment. The poor
dear cannot differentiate between erudi
tion and wisdom,"
Mr. Philander, with a mlldlv Duzzled
expression on his face, turned to pursue
Professor Porter, and In hla mind he was
revolving tho question of whether he
should feel complimented or aggrieved
at Mlas Porter's rather back-handed
compliment.
Tarzan had seen the consternation de
pleted upon the faces of the little group
as they witnessed the deDarture of the
Arrow; so, aa the ship waa a wonderful
novelty to him In addition, he determined
tJ hasten out to the point of land nt the
north of the harbor's mouth and obtain a
nearer view of the boat, as well as to
learn. If possible, the direction of Its
flight.
Swinging through the trees with great
sretd, he reached the poli.t but a moment
after the ship had passed out of the
harbor, so that he obtained an excellent
view of the wonders of this strange, float
ing house.
There were some M men running hither
and thither about the deck, pulling and
hauling on ropes.
A light land breeze waa blowing and
the ship had been worked through the
harbor's mouth under scant salt, but now
that they had cleared the point every
available shred of canvas waa being
spread that she might stand out to sea
as handily as possible.
Tarzan watched the graceful move
ments of the ship In rapt admiration and
longed to be aboard her. Presently his
keen eyes caught the faintest suspicion
of smoke on the far northern horizon,
awl ke wQBdefed over the aause of ouca
thing out on the great water.
At about the same time the look-out on
the Arrow must hv dtaoemed It, for
in a few minutes Taraan saw the sails
being shifted and shortened. The ship
eam a best and presently he knew that
was tjgMwc back toward land
A nan sraBe bow was constantly heav

The rnt-faced one now called to tho
men who had remained at the boat, and
they came slowly up the bank carrying
picks and shovels.
"Hurry. jou!" cried Snipes.
"Stow It," rotorted ono of the men, in
a surly tone "You're no admiral, you
shrimp."
"I'm Cap'n here, though, I'll havr you
to understand, you swnh," shrieked
Snipes, witli a volloy of frightful oaths.
Steady, bojs," cautioned ono of tho
men who had not spoken before. "It
ain't goln' to get in nothing by flghtln'
amongst oursoUes"
"Illght enough," replied the sailor who
had resented Snipes' uutocrntlc tones;
"but by the samo token It ntn't n-goln
to get nobody nothln' to put on airs In
this bloomln' company, neither."
"You fellows dig here," said Snipes,
Indicating a spot beneath tho tree. "And
whllo jou're dlggln' Peter kin bo
n-mnkln' of a map of the locntlon, so's
wo kin find It again You, Tom, nnd
13111, take a couplo moro down and fetch
up tho chest"
"Wot nro you n-goln to do?" asked ho
of the previous altercation. "Just boss?"
"Olt busy there," growled Snipes "you
didn't think jour Cap'n wns a-goln' to
dig with a shovel, did you?"
The men nil looked up angrily None
of them liked Snipes, and his disagree
able show of authority since he had
murdered King, tho real head and ring
leader of the mutineers! had only added
fuel to the flames of hatred
"Do you mean to say that you don't
Intend to tnko a shovel and lend a hand
with this work? Your shoulder's not
hurted so all-fired bad as that." said Tar
rant, the sailor who had beforo spoken.
"Not by a sight," replied Snipes,
fingering the butt of hlB revolver nerv
ously. "Then, by God," replied Tarrant. "If
you won't take a shovel you'll take n
pick ax "
With the words he raised his plok
above his head, and, with a mighty blow,
burled the point In Snipes' brain.
For a moment the men stood silently
looking at the result of their fellow's
grim humor. Then one of them spoke.
"Served the skunk Jolly well right," ho
said.
Ono of tho others commenced to ply his
pick to the giound. Tho soil was soft
and he threw aside the pick and grasped
a shovel; then the othore Joined htm.
There was no further comment on the
killing, but the men worked In a better
frame of mind than they had since
Snipes had assumed command
When they had a trench of ample size
to bury the chest, Tarrant suggested that
they enlarge It and inter Snipes' body
on top of the chest.
"It might 'elp foot any as 'appened to
be dlggln' 'ereabouts," he explained.
The others saw the cunning of the
suggestion, and so the trench was length
ened to accommodate the corpse, and in
the centre a deeper hole was excavated
for the box. which was first wrapped In
sail cloth and then lowered to Us place,
which brought Its top about a foot below
the bottom of the grave. Garth was
shoveled In and tramped down about the
chest until the bottom of the grave
showed level and uniform
Two of the men rolled the rat-faced
corpse unceremoniously Into the grave,
after first stripping It of Its weapons
and various other articles which the sev
eral members of the party coveted for
their own.
Tbey then filled the grave with earth
and tramped upon it until It would hold
no more.
The balance of the loose earth was
thrown far and Wide, and a mass of
dead undergrowth spread In as natural
manner aa possible over the new-made
grave to obliterate all signs of the
ground having been disturbed.
Their work done the sailors returned,
to tho small boat and pulled oft rapidly
toward the Arrow.
The breeze bad Increased considerably,
and as the smoke upon the horizon was
now plainly discernible In considerable
volume, the mutineers lost no time In
getting under full sail and bearing away
toward the southwest
