so the cruiser had steamed slowly along
within sight of land, firing occasional
signal guns and scanning every Inch of
the beach with glasses.
They had anchored by night so as
ui. iu negiect a particle of the shore
line, and It had happened that the pre
ceding night had brought them off the
very beach where lay the little camp
they sought
The signal guns of the afternoon be
fore had not been heard by those on
shore, It tvas presumed, because they
had doubtless been In the thick of the
Jungle searching for Jane Porter, where
the noise, of their own crashing through
the underbrush would have drowned the
report of a far distant gun.
By the time thn twn nartlea via nar
rated their several adventures, the
cruisers boat had returned with supplies
and arms for the expedition
Within a few minutes tho little body
of sailors and tho two French offlcers,
together with Professor Porter and Clay

lu-fated quest Into the untracked Jungle.

Immediately a boat's crew was ordered

None of the living was conscious when

was filled with consternation to see that
W the Arrow was making sail nnd that tha
S cruiser was already under way.
3k Quickly 'lighting the pyre In a dozen
V. places, he hurried to tho extreme point
"S1 of the promontory, where he stripped off
his shirt, and, tying It to a fallen branch,
stood waving It back and forth abovo

But still the vessels continued to stand

were leveled on the beach.
Presently Clayton saw the two ships
ccme about again; and while the Arrow
lay drifting quietly on the ocean, the
cruiser steamed slowly back toward
shore.
At some distance away she stonned. and
boat was lowered and dispatched to-
ard the beach.
A As It was drawn up a young officer

commander selected twenty men

of any description.
Ho Immediately signaled to the cruiser
to send water, medicine and provisions,
and another boat made the perilous trip
to tho Arrow.
When restoratives had been applied
Boveral of the men regained conscious
ness, and then the whole story was told.
That part of It we know up to the sail
ing of the Arrow after tho murder of
Snipes, and the burial of his body above
the treasure-chest.
It seemed that the pursuit by the cruiser
had so terrorized the mutineers that they
had continued out across the Atlantic
for several days after losing her; but on
discovering the meagre supply of water
and provisions aboard, they had turned
back toward tho east.
With no one on board who understood
navigation, discussions soon arose as to
their whereabouts; and as three days'
sailing to tho east did not raise land,
they bore off to the north, fearing that
the high north winds that had prevailed
had driven them south of the southern
extremity of Africa,
They kept on a north-northeasterly
course for two days, when they wero
overtaken by a calm which lasted for
nearly a week. Their water was gone,
and In another day they would be with
out food.
Conditions changed rapidly from bad
to -worse. One man went mad and
leaped overboard. Soon another opened
ins veins ana aranK nis own blood.
When he died they threw him over
board also, though there were thoso
among them who wanted to keep tha
corpse on board. Hunger was changing
them from human beasts to wild beasta.
Two d.is before they had been picked
up by the cruiser they had become too
weak to handle the vessel, and that same
day three men died. On the following
morning It was seen that one of the
corpses had been partially devoured.
All that day the men lay glaring at

... 011U11B arms, mat neld her as easily
as though sho had been but a day-old
oane, only pressed a little more tightly,
bo presently she gave up the futile ef

half-closed lids at tho fnco of tho man
who strode easily through the tangled
"ndergrowth with her.

arordlnary beauty.

rare occasions when he had killed for

lts own with hideous linos.
When Tarzan killed he moro often
smiled than scowled, and smiles aro the
foundation of beauty
Ono thing tho girl had noticed particu
larly when sho had seen Tarznn niBhing
upon Torkoz-tho vivid scarlet band upon
ms forehead, from above the left eye to
tho scalp; but now na she scanned his
features sho noticed that It was gone, and
only a thin white lino marked tho spot
"iiciu it nan nnpn.
As sho lay moro quiet In his arms Tar
zan slightly relaxed his grip upon her.
One he looked down into her eyes nnd
smiled, and the girl had to closo her own
to shut out tho vision of that handsome,
winning face.
Presently Tarzan took to tho trees, and
Jano Porter, wondering that she felt no
fear, began to realize that in many re
spects sho had never felt moro Becuro
in her wholo life than now as she lay In
the arms of this strong, wild creature.
Being borne, God alone knew whero or to
what fate, deeper and deeper Into tho
"Yfge fastness of the untamed forest.
When, with closed eyes, she com
menced to speculato upon tho future, and
terrifying fears were conjured by a vivid
Imagination, sho had but to ralso her lids
and look upon that noble faco so closo to
hers to dissipate the last remnant of
apprehension.
No. he could never harm her; of that
she was convinced when sho translated
the fine features and the frank, brave
eyes abovo her Into tho chivalry which
they proclaimed.
On and on they went through what
seemed to Jane Porter a solid mass of
verdure, yet ever there appeared to open
beforo this forest god a passage, as by

passed.
Scarce a branch scraped against her.

Mnce.God created the first In his own

With a bound Tarzan sprang Into tho
trees and disappeared. Jane Porter won

her there to hor fate In the lonely Jungle7
Sho glanced nervously about. Every
vino and bush seemed but tho lurking
placo of some huge and horrible beast,
waiting to bury gleaming fangs In her
soft Mesh. Kvcry sound sho magnified
Into the Btenlthy creeping ot a. sinuous
and malignant body.

For a few minutes, tha seemed hours to
tho frightened girl, sho sat with tense
nerves walling Tor tha spring of the
crouching thing that wag to end her
misery of npprehenslon.
.She almost prayed for the cruel teeth
that would give her unconsciousness and
surcease from tho agony of fear.
She heard a sudden, slight sound be
hind her. With ft hilk she sprang to
her feet and turned to face her nd.
There stood Tarirl, his arms filled with

Jane Portci leeled and would have
fallen, had not Tarzan, dropping his bur
den, caught her In his arms. She did
not lose consciousness, but she clung
tightly to him, shuddering and trembling
llko a frightened doer.
Tarzan of tho Apes stroked her soft
hair, and tried to comfort and quiet her
as Kala had him, when, as a little ape,
he had been frightened by Sabor, the
lioness, or Hlstah, the snake
Once he pressed his lips lightly upon
her forehead, and she did not move, but
c!oed her eyes and sighed,

wondered and then sho smiled
And still smiling, sho pushed Tarzan
gently away; and looking at him with a
half-smlllng, half-quizzical expression
that made her faco wholly entrancing,
sho pointed to tho fruit upon the ground,
and seated herself upon the edge of the
earthen drum of the anthropoids, for
hunger was asserting itself.
Tarzan quickly gathered up tho fruit,
and, brlncinc lt. l.if,l 11 nf i.i- ,. .,.,
then he, too. sat upon tho drum beside
her, and with his knifo opened and pre

a merry laugh In which Tarznn Joined.

girl.
