CHAPTER XVII-(Continued.)
Ho could not well negotiate the trees
Vlth this nwkward burden, but ho kept
to tho trails, and so made fairly good
time.
For several hours ho traveled a little
north of east jntll ho enmo to nn im
penetrable wall of matted and tangled
vegetation Then ho took to tho lower
branches, and In another 15 minuses ho
emerged Into tho amphitheatre . of tho
apes, where they mot In council, or to
celebrate, tho rites of tho Dum-Dum.
Near tho centre of the clcnrlns, nnd not
for from the drum, or nltar. ho com
menced to dls This was harder work
than turning up the freshly excavated
earth at the Brave, but Tarzan of tho
Apes was persevering nnd so he kept
at his labor until he was rewarded by
seeing a hole sufficiently deep to receive
the chest nnd effectually nldo It from
view.
Why had he gone to all this labor with
out knowing tho valuo of tne contents
of the chest?
I Tarzan of the Apes had a man's figure
and a man's brain, hut ho was an ape by
training and environment. His brain told
Mm that the chest contained something
,' valuable, or the men would not havo
hidden It. his training had taught him
to Imitate whatever was now nnd un
usual, and now the natural curiosity,
which la as common to men as to apes,
prompted him to open tho chest and ex
amine Us contents.
But the heavy lock and mnsslvo Iron
bands baffled both his cunning and his
Immense strength, so that he was com
pelled to bury the chest without havln?
his courlosity satisfied.
By the tlmo Tarzan had hunted his way
back, to the vicinity of the caDin, feeding
as he went, It was quite dnrk.
Within the little building a light was
j i burning, for Clayton had found an un-

CHAPTER XVIII,
TUB JUNGLE TOLL.
Early the following morning Tarzan
nwoke, and the first thought, of the now
uny, as the last of yesterday, was of
he wonderful writing which lay hidden
In his quiver,
.!iHrr!D,dfy ,le brout It forth, hoplmr
against hope that he could rend what tho
beautiful white girl had written there
tho preceding evening.
At the first ftlanco ho suffered tne bit
toreat disappointment of his wholo llfoj
hover before had ho so yearned for any
thing as how ho did for the ability to
interpret a mesnngo from that golden
hatred divinity who had cumo so sud-
vt-i ?1? B0 unexpectedly Into his life..
hat If tho messogo were not lnlendod
ror nlm7 It was an expression of her
thoughts, and that was nil sufficient for
Tarzan of tho Apes.
And now to be baffled by strange, un
couth charactcre the like of which he
inu noyor seen beforel Why, tbey even

Then ho began to mako out a word

for joy. He could rend It, and ho would,

Dearest Hazel: -
It seems foolish to wrlto you n letter

thn fn ?CB, T SalIcd from EurP on
tiio Ill-fated Arrow.
If wo never return to civilization, ns
now seems only too likely, this will nt

which led up to our final fate, whatever
It may be.

mains of which lay burled somewhere in-
.8ii .B0 Vn,ley' But n"er we weJo
wet. under sail tho truth came out.
it seems that an old bookworm who
Si. JLb.?k..a.nd ourio Bhop ln Daltlmoro

n tR-Pa,nlah manuscrlpt n letter written

sound weird and pirnty. -"u.niy
nJw'ff hftd bccn ono of the crew,
and the letter was to his son, who was,
at tho -very tlmo the letter was written,
master of u Spanish merchantman.
Many years had elapsed since the
events the letter narrated had transpired,
and tho old man had become u respected
citizen of an obscure Spanish town, but
tho love of gold was still so strong
upon him that he risked nil to acquaint
his son with the means of attaining
fabulous wealth for them both
Tho writer told how when but a week
out from Spain tho crew had mutinied
and murdered every officer and man who
opposed them; bu they defeated their
own ends by this very act, for there was
none left competent to navigate a ship
at sea.
They were blown hither nnd-thlthcr for
two months until, sick and dying of
scurvy, starvation and thirst, they had
been wrecked on a small Islet.
me gaueon was Washed high upon the
beach whero she went to pieces: but not
before the survivors, who numbered but
ten souls, had rescued one of the great
chests of treasure.
This they burled well un nn fh ii.i
and for three years they lived there In
constant hope of being rescued.
One by one they sickened and died,
until only one man was left, the writer
of tho letter.
The men had built a boat from the
wreckage of the galleon, but having no
Idea where the Island was located they
had not dared to put Ho sea.
When all were dead except himself,
however, the awful loneliness so weighed
upon tho mind of the solo survivor that
ho could endure It no longer, and. choos
lng to risk death upon the open sea
rather than madness on the lonely Isle,
he set sail In his little boat after nearly
a j'ear of solitude.
Fortunately he sailed due north, and
within a week was in the track of tho
Spanish merchantmen plying between the
"West Indies and Spain, and was picked
up by one of these vessels homeward
bound.
The story he told was merely one of
shipwreck In which all but a tew had
perished, the rest, except himself, dying
after they reached the Island. He
did not mention the mutiny or tho cheat
of burled treasure.
The master of the merchantman as
sured him that from the position at which
they had picked him up, and the prevail
ing winds for the past week he could
have been on no other Island than ono
of the Cape Verde group, which lie oTT
the West Coast of Africa In about 16 de
grees or 17 degrees north latitude.
His letter described the Island minutely,
as welt as the location of the treasure.

funniest little old map S'ou ever saws
with trees and rocks all marked hy
scrawly X's to show the exact spot
whero the treasure had been burled.
When papa explained the real nature of
tho expedition, .ny heart sank, for I
know so well how visionary nnd Im
practical the poor dear has always been
that I feared that ho had again been
duped; especially when he told trie tlut
ho had paid a thousand dollars for the
tetter and map.
To add to my distress, I learned that he
had borrowed 110,000 mora from Robert
Cnnler, and had given his notes for ths
amount.
Mr, Canter had asked for no security,
and you know, dearie, what that will
mean for me If papa cannot meet them.
Oh, how I detest thnt maul
We all tried to look on tne bright sldo
of things, but Mr. Philander, nnd Mr.
Clayton ho joined us In London Just for
tho adventure both felt as skeptical as I
Well, to make a long story short, we
found the Island and the treasure a
great Iron bound oak chest, wrappod
In many layers of oiled sail cloth, and n
strong and firm as when It hod been
burled nearly 200 years ago.
It was Blmply filled with gold coin,
and was so heavy that four men bent
beneath Its weight.
The horrid thing seems to bring nothing
but murder nnd mlsfortuno to those who
have to do with It, for three dnya after
we Railed from tho Cape Verde Islands
our own crow mutinied and killed every
ono or tnelr officers.
Oh, It wns tho most terrifying ex
perience ono could imagine I cannot
oven write of It.
They wero going to kill un too, but one
of them, tho leader, a man named King,
would not let them,, nnd so they sallnd
south along tho coast to a lonely spot
where they found a good harbor, nnd
here thoy landed and have loft us.
They sailed avtay with tho treasure to
day, but Mr Clayton says they will meet
with a fato similar to the mutineers of
the ancient galleon, because King, tho
only man aboard who knew nught of
navigation, was murdered on the beach
by ono of the men tho day we landid.
I wish you could know Mr. Clnyton; ho
Is tho dearest fellow imaginable, and
unless I am mistaken ho has fallen
very much In love with poor little me.
Ho Is tho only son of Lord Qreystoke,
and some day will' Inherit the title and
estates In addition, ho is wealthy ln his
own right, but tho fact that ho Is going
to bo an English Lord make mo very
snd-you know what my sentiments havo
always been relative to American girl
who married titled foreigners. Oh, If
he were only a plain Amorlcan gentle
man! But It Isn't his fault, poor fellow, and
In everything except birth ne would do
credit to my darling old country, and
mat is tne greatest compliment I know
how to pay any man.
Wo havo had the most weird experi
ences since wo were landed hero. Papa
and Mr. Philander lost In the jungle, and
chased by a real Hon.
Mr. Clayton lost, and attacked by wild
beasts. Esmeralda and I cornered In aa
old cabin by a perfectly awful man
eating lioness. Oh, It was simply 'terrl
flcal," as Esmeralda would say.
But tho strangest part of It alt Is the
wbnderful creature who rescued us. I
have not seen him, but Mi Clayton and
papa nnd Mr. Philander Ivivo, nnd they
say that ho Is a perfectly god-like white
man tanned to a dusky brown; with the
strength of a wild elephant, tho agility
ui a monitcy, nna tho hravery of a. lion.
He speaks no English nnd vanishes a
quickly and ns mysteriously after he has
performed somo vclorous deed, na though
ho wero a disembodied spirit.
Then we have another weird neighbor,
who printed a beautiful sign In Engllah
nnd tacked It on tho door of hla cabin,
which we have preempted, warning us ta
destroy none of his belongings, and sign
ing himself "Tarzan of the Apes."
.AVe have never seen him, thou.gh we
think ho Is about, for one of tho sailors,
who was going to shoot Mr. Clayton in
tho back, received a spear In his shoulder
from somo unseen hand In tne Jungle.
The sailors left us but a meagre supply
of food, so, as wo have only a single
revolver with but three cartridges left In
It, we do not know how we can procuro
meat, though Mr. Philander says that
we can cxlBt Indefinitely on the will
fruit and nuts which abound In the
jungle.
I nm very tired now, so I shall go to
my funny bed of grasses which Mr.
i-'layton gathered for me, but will add
to this from day to day as thlnss
happen.
Lovingly,
Jane Porter.

Tarzan sat ln a brown study for a lonj
time after he finished reading the letter.
It was filled with so many new and
wonderful things that his brain was In a
whirl as he attempted to digest them all.
So they did not know that he was
Tarzan of the Apes. Ho would tell them
In his tree ho had constructed a rude
shelter of leaves and boughs, beneath
which, protected from the rain, ho had
placed the few treasures brought from
the cabin. Among theso were somo
pencils.
He took one, and beneath Jana Porter's
signature he wrote:
I am Tarzan of the Apes.
He thought that would be sufficient.
Later he would return the letter to the
cabin.
