"But know that I am always your

luiw sat with gaze fixed upon the

in him from the notes that they did not

claimed D'Arnot. "Wo shall go on to
gether to tho nearest settlement, and
there wo will charter a boat and sail
back down the coast for the treasure nnd
so transport It easily.
"That will be safer and quicker and
""l0."01 rea-u're us to be separated.
What do you think of that plan?"
"Very well." said Tarzan. "The treas
ure will be there whenever we go for It;
nnd while I could fetch It now, and catch
up with you in a moon or two, I shall
feel safer for you to know that you are
not alone on the trail.
"When I see how helpless you are,
D'Arnot, I often wonder how tho human
raco has escaped annihilation all these
ages which you tell me about. Why,
Sabor, single handed, could exterminate
a thousand of you."
D'Arnot laughed.
"You will thJnk more highly of your
genus when you have seen Its armies
and navies, Its great cities, and Its
mignty engineering works. Then you
will realize that It Ib mind, and not
muscle, that makes the human animal
greater than the mighty beasts of your
junme.
"Alone and unarmed, a single man Is
no match for any of the larger beasts;
but If ten men were together, they would
comblno their wits and their muscles
against their savage enemies, while the
beasts, being unable to reason, would
nover think of combining against tho
men.
"Otherwise, Tarzan of tho Apes, how
long would you have lasted In the savage
wilderness?"
"You are right, D'Arnot," replied
Tarzan. "for If Kerclmk had come to
Tublat's aid that night at the Dum
Dum. there would have been an end of
me. But Kerchak could never think far
enough ahead to take advantage of any
such opportunity.
"Even Kala, my mother, could never
plan ahead. She simply ate what she
needed whpn she needed It, and If the
supply was very scarce, even though she
found plenty for eeveral meals, she would
never gather nny ahead.
"I remamber that she used to think It
very bIIIj- of me to burden myself with
extra food upon the march, though she
was quite glad to eat It with me. If the
way chanced to be barren of sustenance."
"Then you knew your mother, Tar
zan?" asked D'Arnot, In surprise.
"Yes. She was a great, fine ape,
larger than I, weighing twice as much,"
"And your father?" asked D'Arnot.
"I did not know him. Kola told me he
was a white ape, and hairless like my
self. I know now that he must have
been a whlto man."
D'Arnot looked long and earnestly at
his companion.
"Tarzan," he spld at length, "It Is Im
possible that the ape, Kala, was your
mother. If such a thing can be, which I
doubt, you would have Inherited some
of the characteristics of the ape, but you
have not you are pure man, and, I
should say, the offspring of highly bred
and Intellgent parents.
"Have you not the slightest clue to
your past?"
"Not the slightly." replied Tarsan.
"No writings In the cabin that might
have told something of the lives of Its
original Inmates!"
"I have read everything that was In
the oabln with the exception of one book
which I know now to be written In a
language oiher than English, Possibly
you can read It,
Tarzan flihd the little black diary
from the bottom of his quiver and hand
e4 It to his companion.
D'Arnot glanced at the title page.
"It Is the diary of John Clayton, Lord
Greysteke, an Knglish nobleman, and It
U writn la Frnch," he said.
Then he proedad to rsad the diary
that had tn written over SO years be
fore, and which recorded the details of
the tW which we already know the
story af adventure, hardship and sor
row of Joha Clayton and his wife Alice.
from the day they left England until an
hour btw b w "truck down by Ker
chak. D'Arnot read aloud. At tlnue his voice
haojlu, and he was forced to stop re?d
SeTo tb pitiful, noDelewnesa that
socke btwn the line.
Occ"ailow"r be glanced at Tarzan; but
th ase-man iA upon bis haunch, like
a carven Image, hi w fixed upon the
ground-
Only wbn the Uttl babe was man
tinned did the ton of th diary altar from
tb aabitu! not of despair which bad
crept Into It by degrees after the first
two months upon tho shore.
Then the pAss&ges were tinged with a
jubdued happiness that was even sadder
than the rest.
One entry showed an almost hopeful
spirit.
"Today our little boy Is 6 months old.
He Is sitting In Alice's lap beside the
able where 1 am wrltlng-ft happy,
healthy, perfect child.
"Somehow, even ngalnst all reason, I
feem to see him a grown man, taking
nis father's place In the world-the sec
ond John Clayton-nnd bringing added
ho"0" to the house of Oreystoke.
,. There-as though to give my prophecy
tne weight of his endorsement-he has
grabbed my pen In his chubby net and
with his Inkbegrlmcd little fingers has
Placed the seal of his tiny linger prints
upon tho page."
And there, on the margin of the page,
woro the partially blurred Imprlnta of
four wee fingers and the outer naif of the
thumb.
,.Whn D'Arnot had finished the diary
tne two men sat In silence for some
minutes.
"Weill Tarzan of the Apes, what think
mi v n"kc1 D'A"iot. "Does not this
little book clear up the mystery of your
Parentage?
"Why, man, you nre Lord Oreystoke."
Tarzan shook his head.
"The book speaks of but one child," ho
roplled. "s little skeleton lay in tho
crib, where It died crying for nourish
ment, from the first tlmo I entered tho
cabin until Professor Porter's party
burled It, with its father nnd mother, be
side the cabin.
"No. that was thc babe the book speaks
of-and the mystery of mv origin is
deeper than before, for I have thought
much of late of thc possibility of that
cabin hnvlng been my birthplace.
"I am nfrald thnt Knla spoke the
truth," he conrludpil nwilv.
D Arnot shook his head. Ho was un
convinced, nnd In his mind hnd sprung
tho determination to nrovn Hie rnrrppi.
ncss of his theory, for he hnd discovered
mo Key which alone could unlock tho
mystery, or consign It forever to tho
realms of tho unfathomable.
A week later the two men came sud
denly upon n clearing In the forest.
In tho distance were sovcrnl buildings
surrounded by a strong pnllsade. Be
tween them nnd the Inclosuro stretched
a cultivated field In which a number of
negroes were working.
The two halted at the edge of the
Jungle.
Tnrzan fitted his bow with a poisoned
arrow, but D'Arnot plnced a hand upon
his arm.
"Whnt would you do, Tnrzan?" he
nsked.
"They will try to kill us If they see
us," replied Tnrzan. "I prefer to be tho
killer."
"Mnybo they are friends," suggested
D'Arnot.
"They are black," was Tarznn'H only
reply.
And again he drew back his shaft.
"You must not, Tarzanl" cried D'Arnot.
"Whlto men do not kill wantonly. Mon
Dlcu! But you have much to learn.
"I pity the ruffler who crosses you, my
wild man, when I take you to Paris. I
will have my hands full keeping your
neck from beneath tho guillotine."
Tarzan lowered his bow and smiled.
"I 'do not know why I should kill the
blacks back there In my Jungle, yet not
kill them here Suppose Numa, tho lion,
should spring out upon us, I should sny,
then, 1 presume: Good morning Mon
sleuer Numa, how Is Madame Numa!
eh'"
"Walt until the blacks spring upon
you," replied D Arnot, "then you may
kill them. Do not assume that men are
your enemies until they prove It."
"Come," said Tarzan, "let us go and
present ourselves to be killed," and he
stnrled straight across the Held, his head
high held and the tropical sun beating
upon his smooth, brown skin.
Behind him came D'Arnot, clothed In
some garments which had heon discarded
at tho cabin by Clayton when the of
ficers of the French cruiser had fitted
him out in more presentable fashion.
Presently one of tho blacks looked up,
and behlding Tarzan, turned, shrieking,
toward the palisade.
In an instant the air was filled with
cries of terror from the fleeing garden
ers, but before any had reached the palis
ade a white man emerged from the In
closure, rifle in hand, to discover the
cause of the commotion.
What he saw brought his rifle to his
shoulder, and Tarzan of the Apes would
have felt cold lead once again had not
D'Arnot cried loudly to the man with
the leveled gun:
"Do not fire! Wo are friends!"
"Halt, then!" was the reply.
"Stop, Tarzan!" cried D'Arnot. "He
thinks we are enemies."
Tarzan dropped Into a walk, and to
gether he and D'Arnot advanced toward
the white man by the gate.
The latter eyed them in puzzled be
wilderment. "What manner of men are you?" he
asked. In French.
"White men," replied D'Arnot. "Wo
have been lost In the Jungle for a long
time."
The man had lowered his rifle and now
advanced with outstretched hand.
"I am Father Constantino of the
French Mission her," he said, "and I
am glad to welcome you."
"This is Monsieur Tarzan, Father Con
stantino," replied D'Arnot, Indicating the
ape-man; and as the priest extended his
Hand to Tarzan, D Arnot added: "and I
am Pnul d'Arnot, of tho French Navy."
Father Constantino took tho hand which
Tarzan extended In Imitation of the
priest's act, whllo the latter took in the
superb physique and handsome face In
one quick, keen glance.
And thus came Tarzan of the Apes to
the first outpost of civilization.
For a week they remained there, and
the ape-man, keenly observapt, learned
much of the ways of men; while black
women sewed upon white duck garments
for himself and D'Arnot that they might
continue their Journey properly clothed.

YONKERS HAS $9 TOO MUCH
Hunt for Inefficiency Shows Surplus
in 'City Treasury.
YONKEBS. N. Y., June 12. This city
now knows the exact difference between
the cash on hand In the City Trensury
and what ought to be there.
Expert accountants, after working for
several months, found that there was ex
actly $D too much cash on hand. They
found also that this was because City
Clerk Joseph E. O'Brien had turned IntJ
the City Treasury 9 In license fees he
should have put Into his own pocket. Ex
cept for that discrepancy the city's finan
cial records were kept perfectly.
Critics of Mayor Lennon's administra
tion caused the investigation, and a high
priced firm of expert accountants was put
to work. The nccountants have not yet
put in their bill for finding the 10 discrepancy.

PEPPER SAYS BllYAN"
"WALKS BOTH WAYS"
Prominent Philadelphian Criti
cises Ex-Secretary of State
for Inconsistencies of Actions
William J. Bryan has again attempted
the dimcult feat of walking In two
divergent ways, In the opinion of George
Wharton Pepper. He was asked today to
express himself In regard to the Presl
dent'B second note to Germany, and the
resignation of the Secretary of Stale.
"The sinking of the Lusltanla was one
of those events which serve to bring
Inconsistent theories Into vivid contrast
with one another." said Mr. Pepper,
"If the German theory Is correct, the
act needed no explanation. Upon this
Hypothesis the President should have
ignored tne Incident altogether. When,
In fact, he decided to take ofllclal cog
nizance of It, he wns really committing
himself to thc proposition that thc act
was one not susceptible of explanation.
"Having mode this decision he was
ncccssailly confronted with the choice
between two Inconsistent courses. He
; wns required liv the logic nf tho sllua-
Hon either to content himself with ver-
llfll hwvtii.l .... ,. .. . . ...
I ... ......v... ui I,, Uirauc a course wnicn,
wiiiio not inviting war, might lead to
It In the end. In other words, he had
to choose (ns Mr. Bryan puts It) between
pcrsunslon nnd force, or (as most of us
would express It) between talk and ac
tion. "Fortunntely ho chose to act; but one
cannot fail to be a little apprehensive
lest he make the mistake of tnlklng too
much nbout his nctlon. The only Justin
cation for correspondence with Ger

FAVORABLE RJ5PLY TO
NOTE EXPECTED FROM
GERMANY BY WILSON
Washington Believes Kai
ser Will Accept Terms of
United States and Offer
of Mediation on "Starva
tion Policy."
WASHINGTON, Jun 1.
That Germany's acceptance of the
American demand that he guarantee the
safety of the United States citizens from
submarine attack may open tho way to
peace parleys eventually, wag a wide
spread belief In ofllclal circles today.
President Wilson, In his efforts to make
a demand thnt Germany could with honor
accept, suggested that this Government
waa willing to transmit exchanges be
tween thc belligerents that would tend to
remedy conditions now complained of.
This was the first time, since the early
suggestions Immediately after the out
break of tho wor, thnt tho President has
lined the United States up squarely as a
distinct mediation force.
Tho effect hns been to lay the founda
tion for a distinct forward step should
the difference brtween Germany nnd tha
united States now be satisfactorily ad-
Justed. Representatives of this Govern
ment at tho belligerent capitals may now
sound out the officials to nnd If there Is
nny common ground to frame a complete
suggestion of mediation.
In this connection President Wilson wit.
have much first-hand Information avail
able next week.
His personal envoy, Colonel E. M.
House, Is due to arrive here from London.
Colonel Houso hns been to every belliger
ent capltnl nnd has talked with tho men
who know the hopes and beliefs of the
wnrrlng countries, Ho will bo able to
tell the President whether, behind the
mask of readiness for a war of years,
there Is In reality a hope for nri Immedi
ate pence.
Tho Presldont was waiting In the mean
while. He docs not expect any reply from,
Berlin for a week or ten days.
Naturally, he Is hopeful, but yet thero
has been no Intimation from Ambassador
Gerard of what the outcome Is likely to
be. The Ambassador cabled that tho note
had been presented. His reception was
courteous, but this has been the case
with all his visits, as ho Is popular with
most of tho German Foreign OrTlco offi
cials. It Is not expected that there will
bo any formal conference of thc Ger
man officials regarding the reply for tho
present.
WHAT GERMANY MAY ACCEPT.
Diplomatic circles here believed that
Germany would accept the general prin
ciples laid down by the United States
that she should take steps to safeguard
the citizens of this country.
Whether she will at tho same time sug
gest that a means should be determined
whereby her submarine commanders may
know just what vessels are carrying
American citizens Is not yet ascertained.
The gcnernl spirit everywhere was hope
ful. The President spent all of today rest
ing, and It was stated that he would not
do any hard work for the next few days
Ho Is keeping himself free to meet any
serious crisis that may arise or any un
expected demand that may be made on
him, nnd only such callers as cannot be
sidetracked are permitted to see him.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRL ELOPES
WEEK BEFORE COMMENCEMENT
Miss Fielder Third of Class to Make
Runaway Match.
A marriage certificate Is far preferable
to a high school diploma, according to
the views of Mrs. Joseph McAdams, 18
years old, of 1133 Wolf street. Until
Thursday Mrs. McAdams was Miss Grace
Mildred Fielder, a member of the grad
uating class of the Girls' High School,
17th and Spring Garden streets.
Although commencement was only u
week away, Miss Fielder decided that
ono wedding certificate this week would
be worth more than one high school
diploma and one wedding certificate next
week. Accordingly on the pretext that
she was going to visit a friend in Logan,
she took a quick trip to lEkton. Md., and
returned home today to Introduce her
husband, Joseph McAdams, of Angora.
As soon as the young couple have se
cured the parental forgiveness and bless
ing they will leave for the Panama Ex
position for a wedding tour. Tho former
Miss Fielder, who Is the daughter of
Charles A. Fielder, Is also n member of
the choir of the Trinity Lutheran Church,
18th and Wolf streets. She Is the third
member of the graduating class of th'
Girls' High School to elope since Jan
uary 1.

And, best of all. Mayor and Mrs. Blank
enburg were there, sitting In a box, and.
the Mayor made a speech. He said:
"One Of the most beautiful signs of the
times Is that we In America have Boy
Scouts, and Camp Fire girls, too," he
was prompted by Mrs. Blankenburg and
every one cheered.
"This Is fortunate for you and you can
do so much to help your nation. We are
having a great deal of trouble now, but
we can settle everything by peaceful
means. You don't want to fight We
don't want to fight. God speed you In
tho good work you nre doing"
Cheers, first respectful and then en
thusiastic, greeted each successive film
until "The Adventure of a. Boy Scout"
was shown. Then the roof nearly came
oft the house. It was exciting to see a
real troop of Scouts In action, savinir nf.
wigwagging signals, applying first aid
and reclaiming a boy who had "gone to

some scenario writer pull hla hair before
he finished.
The bugle corps of Troop 3, of Logan,
Scoutmaster Yoder, took part in the pro
