DArnot remembered Clayton's descrip
tion of the awful ronr with which Tarznn
had announced his kills, and he halt
smiled In spite of the horror which filled
him to think that tho uncanny sound
could have Issued fiom a human throat
from tho lips of his friend.
as the party stood finally near the edge
of the Jungle, debating n3 to the best dis
tribution of their forces, they were start
led by u low laugh near them, and turn
Ing beheld advancing toward them a
giant figure bearing a dead lion upon its
broad shoulders.
Even D'Arnot was thunderstruck, for It
seemed Impossible that the man could
have so quickly dispatched a lion with
the pitiful weapons he had taken, or that
alone he could have borno tho huge car-
caaa mrougn mo tangled jungle.
Tho men crowded about Tarzan with
many questions, but his only answer was
a laughing depreciation of his feat.
To Tarzan It waa as though ono should
eulogize a butcher for his heroism In kill
ing a cow, for Tarzan had killed so often
for food and for self-preservation thnt tho
act seemed anything hut remarkable to
him. But ho was Indeed a hero In tho
eyes of these men men accustomed to
hunting big gamo.
Incidentally, ho had won ten thousand
francs, for D'Arnot Insisted that he keep
it all.
This was a very Important Item to Tar
zan, who was Just commencing to realize
tho power which lay behind the little
pieces of metal and paper which always
changed hands when human being rode,
or ate, or slept, or clothed themselves, or
drank, or worked, or played, or sheltered
themselves from tho rain or cold or sun.
It had become evident to Tarzan that
without money ono must die. D'Arnot
had told him not to worry, since he had
moro than enough for both, but the ape
man was learning many things and ono
of them was that pcoplo looked down
upon ono who accepted money from an
other without giving something of equal
value In exchange.
Shortly aftur tho episode of tho Hon
hunt, D'Arnot succeeded in chartering
an ancient tub for the coastwiso trip to
Tarzan's land-locked harbor.
It was a happy morning for them both
whon the little vessel weighed anchor
and made for tho open sea.
The trip to the beach was uneventful,
and the morning after they dropped an
chor before the cabin, Tarzan, garbed
once more in nis jungle regaua, anu
carrying a spade, set out alone for the
amphitheatre of the apas where lay the
treasure.
Late the next day he returned, bearing
the great chest upon his shoulder, and at
sunrise tho little vessel was worked
through the harbor's mouth and took up
her northward journey.
Three weeks later Tarzan and D'Arnot
were passengers on board a French
Bteamer bound for Lyons, and after a
few days In that city D'Arnot took Tarzan
to Paris.
The ape-man was anxious to proceed
to America, but D'Arnot insisted that he
must accompany him to Paris first, nor
woild he divulge, the nature of the ur
gent necessity upon which he based his
demand.
One of tho first things which D'Arnot
accomplished after their arrival was to
arrange to visit a high oftlclal of the
polke department, an old friend, and to
take Tarzan nun mm.
Artroltlv D'Arnot led the conversation
from point to point until the policeman
had explained to the Interested Tarzan
many of the methods In vogue for appre
hending and Identifying criminals.
Not the least interesting to Tarzan was
the part played by finger prints in this
fascinating science.
"But of what value are these imprints,"
asked Tarzan, "when after a few years
the llfl upon the Angers are entirely
changed by the wearlnsf out of the old
tissue and the growth of new?
The line ver change," replied the of
fiotel. "Prom infancy to senility the fin.

' Is marvelous," exclaimed D'Arnot
I wonder what the lines upon my own

''Wo can soon see," replied the police
orricer, and ringing a bell he summoned
an assistant to whom he Issued a fow
directions.
Tho man left the room, but presently
returned with a little hard-wood box
which he placed on his puporlor's desk.
"Now," said the officer, "you shall have
your finger prints In a second."
He drew from the little case a. square
of rlnte alass. a little tuba of thick Ink,
a riiboer roller and a few snowy white
cards.
Squeezing a drop of Ink on to the glass,
no ipread It back and forth with the

the glass was covered to his satisfaction
with a very thin and uniform layer of Ink.

Tarznn complied readily, asking many
questions of the ofllcer during the opera
tion, r.Do..nn.eer Prln's show racial character

for example, solely from finger prints

"Could tho finger prints of an ape bo

"Probably, becaueo tho ape's would bo

tho olllclal, "but tho science has not

any finger other than tho ono which origi
nally made It"
"Does tho comparison rcqulro much
tlmo or labor?" asked D'Arnot
'Ordinarily but a few moments, If the
Impressions aro distinct."
D'Arnot drew a llttlo black book from
nis pocket and commenced turning tho
pages.
Tarznn looked at tho book in surprise.
How did D Arnot como to have his book?
Presently D'Arnot stopped at a page on
which wcro flvo tiny llttlo smudges.
Ho handed tho open book to tho police
man. "Aro these Imprints similar to mlno or
Monsieur Tarzan's. of can you soy that
they are Identical with cither?"
The officer drow a powerful glass from
Mb desk and examined all thrco speci
mens carofully, making notations mean
while upon n pad of paper.
Tarzan realized now what was tho
meaning of their visit to tho police officer.
Tho answer to his life's rlddlo lay in
theso tiny marks.

The policeman looked up In astonish
ment. "Go ahead, captain, with your exam

Tarzan nodded his head.
"But you aro mad, my denr D'Arnot,"
ho Insisted. "Those llttlo fingers are

"Good evening, my dear Professor,"

"Who admitted you?" asked the pro

"Then she will acquaint Jane with the

"No, Professor," replied Canler, "for I

"Ah, I am honored," said Professor

with grent deliberation, ns though care
fully weighing his words, "I havo como

Professor Archimedes Q. Porter fidgeted

"But Jane," continued Canler, "I can

Narbcrth Autos in Crash
Tho automobile of W. P. G. Hall, of
Narbcrth, was wrei'ke.1 today In a col
lision with the automobile of A. G. Coxe,
of Narborth. when the machines met on
Valley road, opposite tho Wllllstown
School. Hall nnd his wife were thrown
from tho iar, but not seriously Injured.
Coxe's car la said to have been driven
by his chauffeur, Patrick Caesldy. It
pioceedcd to the Coxo estate after the
collision. Hall's machine was towed to
n Narborth ga'age.
A fireman who escaped deutn by a
halrbrendth 15 years ago gavo up his
life early today an hour after plunging
Into a smoko and flame filled house at
tho northeast corner of 15th nnd Mc
Kean streets. Ho was John McGownn.
hoseman of Engine Company No. 15, of
16th and Snyder avenue.
McGowan waa one of tho three fire
men severely burned at tno Point Brerzn
oil works flro of 1900. Ho was expected
to dlo. For weeks ho lay In agony on
a hospital cot, but finally he recovered
nnd went back to flre-flghtlng.
Early today Sergeant Mllburn. of tho
16th street and Snyder avenuo station,
was aroused by Harry Slcnsky, who
runs a poolroom and cigar storo In the
burned building. Mllburn, half dressed,
ran Into tho engine company adjoining
and notified them of the fire.
The sergeant, with Policemen Murphy
and Osterholt, then ran Into tho burn
Ing dwelling and carried out six persons
who hnd been ovcrromo with smoke.
A few seconds later tho engino company
arrived. McGowan was ono of tho first
to enter tho building. He got to the
eocond floor beforo ho wns forced back.
A moment later McGowan staggered
to tho street and collapsed. He was
taken to the hospital. Physicians used
the pulmotor, but apparently McGownn
hnd Inhaled somo fire, and he died at 2
o'clock. Ho had no children. His wife
survives McGownn hnd been connected
with tho engine company slnco Its or
ganlzatlon IS years ngo. He was 50
years old.
Thoso rescued from the burning build
Ing aro Mrs. Hesslo Slcnsky, Martin
Slensky, 4 years old; Caroline Carlln,
Pauline, Otto nnd Mary Flnktesteln. All
will recover. Most of tho Interior of the
building was destroyed.
Pica for Lemon Hill Meeting
Members of tho Presbyterian Ministers'
Association at a meeting In Westminster
Hall, Wltherspoon Building, today were
urged to appeal to the members of their
congregations to obtain potltlons request
ing tho Falrmount Park Commissioners
to rescind their order prohibiting the
Lemon Hill Association from using the
Park pavilion as a place of religious
meeting. Tho Rev. Horace C. Stanton
was tho speaker who mado the sugges
tion. The principal speaker was Dr.
Thomas J. Maya, who addressed the
members on "Tho Care and Cure of Consumption."
But tho sergeant could wait for no more.
Ho learned that the scene of the crime
was In a yard at Front and Reed streets.
He sent two cops thero Immediately,
rruo enough, there was a man In the
yard on his back. Another man was
standing over him with a hatchet-and
he didn't move whw he saw tho cops,
"What's the matter?" asked thn vie.
tltn on the ground.
"Why, wo'vo come to save your life,"
said tho cops.
"Loavo us alone," said the victim, "and
mind your own business."
"That's what I git for doln' a good
turn," said tho fetlow with the hatchet.
"Good turn!" gasped the cops.
"Sure," said he with tho weapon. "Me
frcn" Johnny Daly hero went out fcr a
little time las' night and ho fell In a box
of cement nt a building Job. He corns In
this yard an' fell down, nn' the cement
got hard and glued him to the yard. Ho
tried to git up I found him here an' I'm
trying to dig him loose."
