when d'Arnot regained consciousness,
fc. found himself lying upon n. bed of
tolt ferns and grasses beneath a little
A-shaped shttsr of boughs.
At hli feet an opening looked out upon
. trecn sward, and at a little distance
Jyond u the dense wall of Junglo and
'"l" was very lamo and soro and weak.
ndia full consciousness returned ho felt
the sharp torture of many cruel wounds,
and the dull aching of every bono and
" 1 i v,i hodv- as a result of the
SSu beating ho had received.
P Sen the turning of his head caused
I Mm auch excruciating agony that he lay
,U11 with closed eyes for a long time.

hi ndtenture prior to the time he lost con
s' icloumcss to see If they would explain
vj hli present whereabouts he wondered If
fj he were among menus ur .u,
-,, it i.nsth he recollected the whole
hideous scene at the stake, and finally
recalled the strange uhlto figure In whose
arma he had sunk Into oblivion
D'Arnot wondered what fate lay In
itore for him now. He could neither see
nor hear any signs of Hfo about him.
1 The Incessant num oi me jungie me
rustling of millions of -leaves, the buzz
of IngcctB, the voices of the birds and
monkeys-seemed blended Into a strangely
ioothlng purr, as though he lay opart,
i fir from the mjilad life whose sounds
i came to him only n3 a blurred echo.
At length he fell In n quiet slumber,
sordid he awake again until afternoon.
', Once mora he experienced the strange
JL lenso of utter bewilderment that had
B marked his earlier awakening, but soon
. w he recalled the recent past, and looking
through the opening at his feet ho saw
i the figure of a man squatting on his
i haunches
& c The broad, muscular back was turned
r toward him. but. tanned thouch It was.
d'Arnot saw that It was the back of a
white man, and he thanked his God.
The Frenchman called faintly. The
nan turned, and, rising, came toward the
shelter. His face was very handsome
the handsomest, thought d'Arnot, that he
had ecr seen.
Stooping, he crawled Into the shelter
healde the wounded officer, and placed a
cifol hand upon his forehead
D'Arnot spoke to him In French, but
the man only shook his head sadly, It

THE GIRL WHO
BY
MARY ROBERTS RINEHART
An Unusual Story of Unusual People
Begins in the Evening Ledger
on Saturday
two moi dayi had mastered so much
French that ho could speak little sen
tences such ns- "That Is a tree, ' "this
Is grass," "I am hungry," nnd tho like,
bul D'Arnot found that It was difficult
to teach him tho French construction
upon a foundation of English.
Tho Frenchman wrote little lessons for
him In Ensl'sli nnd had Tarzan repeat
theni In French, but as a literal transla
tion was usually veiy poor French Tar
zan was ofU'n contused.
D'Arnot icallzcd nDv mat he had made
a mistake, out f. seemed too late to go
back and do it all over again and force
Turzan to unlearn all that he had learned,
especially is they wcro rapidly approach
ing a point where they would be able to
converse
On the third day after the feverbroke
Tarzan wrote a message asking D'Arnot
If he felt i,trong enough to bo carried
back to the cabin Tarzan was as anx
ious to go a"s D'Arnot, for he longed to
see Jane Porter again.
It had been 1 nrd for him to icmaln with
the Trenchmai all theso days for that
very reason, end that ho had unselfishly
rfnn. on nnkn mhro glowingly for his
nobility of character than oven did his
rescuing 01 ine '"'
Mbonga'o clutches.
D'Arnot, only too willing to attempt the
JdUrney, wroto: -
"But you cannot carry me all the dis
tance through this tangled forest.
Tarzan laughed.
"MalB oul," he said, and D Arnot
laughed alo-td to hear the phrase that he
ussd so often ede from Tarzan's tongue
So they let out. D'Arnot marveling as
had ClaMon and Jane Porter at the won
drous strength and agility of the ape-
mjlld-afternoon brought them to the
clearing, and as Tarzan dropped to earth
from the branches of the last tree h s
heart leaped and bounded against hU
ribs in anticipation of seeing Jane Porter
ENooneawasn'ln sight without the cabin,
and D'Arnot was perplexed to note that
neither the cruiser nor the Arrow was at
anchor In the bay.
An atmosphere of loneliness pervadej
the spot, which caught suddenly at both
men an they strode toward the cabin
Neither spoke, yet both knew before
they opened the closed door what they
would nnd beyond.
Tarzan lifted the latch and pushed the
great door ln upon Its wooden hinges. It
was as they had feared. The cabin was
deserted.
The men turned and looked at one an
other, D'Arnot knew that his people
thought him dead, but Tarzan though
only of the woman who had kissed him
In love and now had fled from him while
. , carvlnir one of her people.
A great bitterness rose In his heart.
Ho would go away, far Into the Jungle
and join his tribe, Never would he see
one of his own kind again; nor could ha
bear the thought of returning to the
cabin. He would leave that forever be
hind him with the great hopes he had
nursed there of finding his own race and
Vtnenmlng a man among men
And the Frenchman? D'Arnot? What
of htm? He could get along as Tarzan
had Tarzan did not want to see him
more. He wanted to get away from
everything Jbat might remind him of
JTaJ Tarzan stood upon the threshold,
brooding. D'Arnot had entered the cabin.
Many comforts he saw that had been
left behind. He recognized numerous
artleles from the crulser-a camp oven,
wine kitchen utensils, a rifle and many
rounds of ammunition, canned foods,
blankets, two ehalre nnd a cot-and se
eral two and periodicals, mostly
TThey wust Intend returning," thought
D'Arnot. . ....... t
He walked over to the table that John
Clayton had built so many years before
to serve a a deek, and on It lie saw
two notea a,Mre4 to Tarzan oi the
Apea
One wa in a. tron- masculine hand
nd M unhealed The other, In a. woo
to s hand, we sealed
"Here are two me for you, Tar- ,
zan of tnt Ao. ' -rte4 D'Arnot, turnja
EVENINO LEDGEB-PHILADELPIIIA, THrilKDAY. JUNE
toward the door; but his companion wan
not there.
D'Arnot walked lo the door and looked
out Tarzan was nowhere In sight He
catted aloud, but there was no response.
"Mon Dleu!" exclaimed D'Arnot "he
has left me. I feel It. He has gone
back Into his Jungle and left me here
alone."
And llien he remembered the look on
Tarran's face when they had discovered
that the cabin was empty such a look
as the hilntcr sees In the ejes of the
wounded Vteer he has wantonly brought
down
The mnn had been hard hit D'Arnot
realized It now but why? He could not
understand.
The Frenchman looked about him The
loneliness nnd the horror of the place
commenced to get on his nerves already
weakened by the ordeal of suffering nnd
sickness ho hnd passed through.
To be left here alone bpslde thh awful
Jungle ner to hear a human voice or
sen a human face In constant dread of
savnge beasts and moro terribly savage
men a pley to solitude and hopelessness
It wni nwful.
And far to the east Tarran of the Apes
wni speeding through the middle terrace
back to his tribe Never had he traeled
with such reckless ipeod. He felt that
he was running away from himself that
oy nuruing tnrough tho forest like a
frightened squirrel he was escaping from
his own thoughts Hut no matter how
fast he went he found them always with
him
He passed aboe the sinuous body of
Snbor, the lioness, going In the oppoMte
direction, townrd the cabin, thought Tnr
znn What could d'Arnot do ngnlnst Sabor
or If tlolgnnl, the gorilla, should come
upon him oi Xuma, the lion, or cruel
Sheeta?
Tnr7an paused In his flight
' What nro 5011, Tnrzan?" he asked
aloud. "An ape or a man?
"tf 5011 nro an npo. you will do as the
apes would do leave ono of your kind to
die In the Jungle If It suited ur whim
to go elsewhere.
"If you are a man, 5ou will return to
protect your kind. You will not run nwav
rrom one of our own peoplo because one
of them has run nwav from you "
D'Arnot closed the cabin door. He was
ery nervous Even brave men, nnd
d'Arnot was a brave man, are sometimes
frightened by solitude.
He 1 ended ono of the rifles and placed
II within ensy reach. Then he went to
tho desk and took up the unsealed letter
addressed to Tar7an.
Possibly It contained word that his peo
ple hnd but lefttho bench temporarily.
Ho felt that It Would bo no birach of
othles to rend this letter, so he took the
Inclosurc from the envelope and read
"To Tarran of the Apes
"Wo thank ou for the use of our
cabin, and are sorry that you did not
permit us the pleasure of seeing ind
thanking out In person
"We have harmed nothing, but have
left mnny things for vou which mny add
HAD NO GOD
to jour comfort nnd safetj here In jour
lonely home.
"If you know the strange white man
who saved our lives so many times, and
brought us food, and If you can con
verse with him, thank him, also, for his
kindness.
"We sail within the hour, never to re
turn: but we wish you nnd that olher
Jungle friend to know that we shall al
waja thank jou for what jou did for
strangers on our shore, and that we
should have done infinitely more to re
ward jou both had jou given us the op
portunity. "Very respectfully,
"WM. CECIL CLAYTON."
" 'Never to return,' " muttered D'Arnot,
and threw himself face downward upon
the cot.
An hour later he started up, listening
Something was at the door trying to
enter.
D'Arnot reached for the loaded rlfln and
placed It to his shoulder.
Dusk was falling, and the Interior of
the cabin was ery dark; but the man
could see the latch moving from its place
Ho felt hla hair rising upon his scalp
Oently tho door opened until a thin
crack showed something standing Just
without.
D'Arnot sighted along the blue barret
at the crack of the door and then he
pulled the trigger.

VOYAGE OF VESSEL
OF THRILLS
Boat From India Docks Here
After Dodging Typhoons and
BulletsCrew Gives Trouble
Brimful of excitement was the 67-day
Vojage of" the British steamship Mansurl,
which arrived here today from Calcutta
Ma Colombo, Suex and Oran The vessel
brought In a large cargo of atuable
East Indian merchandise. Dodging ty
phoons In the Indian Ocean and Turks'
bullets In the Sues Canal and a fuss with
members of the Chinese crew were a few
of the events that prevented the vojnge
from becoming one of absolute monotony
Shortly after leaving Colombo the
steamship ran Into a fierce tropical ty
phoon, which was prevented from making
a wreck of the craft by the expert navi
gation on the part of the officers.
Behind and bags on the bridge the of
ficers directed tho course of tho vessel
when passing through the Suez. On tin
shores Turk snipers kept up a continuous
fire, but tho Intrenchments of the ship's
otllccrs were Impregnable
May 22 the superstitious Chinese in
the crew beheld the strnnge hnlos around
the sun and became pnnlc-strlckcti They
refused to work and Insisted on standing
and gazing Into the sky In nn nued
manner or In prostrating themselves on
the decks while the rent the air with
weird Incantations
When Chief Engineer "Bill" Murrav
tried to convince the Chinese by the use
of "moral lunslon" that their presence
wns Imperative In the flrerooni. ho win
attacked bj I.lng Fung The cclestl.il
rushed at his chief with a knife Things
looked bad for Murray when the unet
pectcd Interference of Captain Turner
prevented bloodshed The captain hnd
only a few sceontls In which to net after
he took In the situation lie established
a new record ln running from the bridge
to tho deck, according to his subordinates
and knocked the knife from Ling Tung's
hand.
Tho Chinaman was placed In Irons
He's repentant now, however, nnd will
not be prosecuted unless he shows
further evidence of nn ugly disposition

Common Sense For
Commonwealths
By GEORGE H. HODGES
Former Governor of Kansas
WHAT'S the Matter With Our Legislatures? is the ques
tion asked and answered by Former Governor Hodges.
In compact, vigorous fashion he sums up the case of his peo
ple against the average State Legislature, with its notorious
incompetence, its prodigal extravagance, its ill-considered,-slap-dash
legislation and all the shortcomings of the system
based on the fallacy that mistakes mere numbers for democ
racy. Mr. Hodges believes in one House and a small one at that;
well-trained, well-paid legislators and a Governor shorn of
the veto power. He would concentrate power in a few
strong, capable hands and would require of them efficiency,
economy and common sense.
