The Daily Story
Adopting Chubby
chubby sat dlsconsolato on the- iront
stoop. On the other side or tho street a
lot of boys were playing fire engine play
ing It with his express wagon, too, but
Chubby was not permitted to lcavo tho
yard, and they had grown tired of a llro
district conllncd to a solemn circuit of the
flower-bordered path.
Chubby had vaguely Intimated that
presently Jane might come nlong with her
gingerbread, but they had not listened to
tho suggestion. If they saw Chubby cut
Ins gingerbread, they were prepared to
swarm back again, but, In tho meantime,
they preferred the opposite Bide of tho
street, whore Brown'a empty atablo mado
a splendid tlrehouse, and they could raco
clear to tho corner and back In answering
an alarm.
Chubby'a plump face was drawn Into
tho suggestion of a whimper as he con
templated their treachery. But he was
too game to cry and presently tho linos
relaxed, and Sue Sanderson, coming down
the street, received a smile In answer to
her greeting.
"What are you doing here, all alono7
eho cried, briskly. "Why don't you play
with tho other little boys. Chubby?"
His under lip quivered a little. "They
won't play In tho yard and ma won't
let mo play on the street," ho explained.
"They wore here, but they took my
wagon and went away."
Suo's face grow soft. Chubby's mothei
was a woman famous" In tho club world
Bho was too busy to play with her llttlo
boy. It was enough that ho had plenty
of toys. She did not realize that an
express wagon is no good In a yard so
small that ono cannot run with It. It
was enough that ho had it. Sue rescued
tho wagon from tho boys, but tho de
sertion of his playmates still grieved
Chubby, and she took tho dlsconsolato
little fellow in her arms and, sitting
down on the steps, proceeded to tell him
a fairy otory.
All her latent maternal Instinct was
brought out by this forlorn llttlo fellow.
Bur's ace grto aojt.
and so Interested did they grow In the
romance she was weaving- that neither
noticed that some one had stopped out
side of the gate until, with a shout.
Chubby wriggled out of her arms and
bumped down the steps to greet his Uncle
Ha.rry.
I came to see if Chubby wanted to go
for a drive," he explained, as be cams
up the steps with his small nephew on
hta shoulder. "I don't like to Interrupt
your visit"
"I just stopped because he seemed so
lonesome." she explained.
"The boya had taken his wagon ana
were playing with It on the other side
of the street. I waa sorry for hlra and
J was telling him a story."
"Tell It to us both," the man pleadea
as ho looked toward the buggy. "It will
b a fine drive over to the lake and back."
For a moment she hesitated, but
Chubby added hla plea, and presently
they were In the buggy, hla mother
regarding Chubby'a departure with de
cided relief. She had an Important paper
to write and the house would be quiet all
the afternoon-
"I'm sorry for tho little fellow," sale
Harry Kinsman as they drove slowly
homeward. "I suppose if any one told
Nell that she was not a good mother
there would be a mighty row, but she
is so occupied with her club affairs that
Chubby gets little mothering. I come
around as often as I wn and take him

Chubby stirred uneasily and opened
his sleepy eyes.
"Kiss me, too," ho commanded. "1

Police Court Chronicle
Any man can be happy If ho has a
vivid imagination. Albert HIcklo believes
so, and to prove It ho lay down in a
pile of sand at a building operation near
East Olrard avenue and Norrls street
and thought ho was at the seashore.
Near him there was a little pond made
by the workmen, and, as the flickerlngs
of a nearby red light darted over it.
HIcklo thought he was at sea sura
enough. But he realized that craft which
might pass In the night would probably
not see things so vividly and. to avoid
collisions while sleeping, tied the lantern
around hla neck.
A Jitney pilot, who was chugging along
rapidly, saw the feet of Hlckle sticking
through tho darkness and shifted the bow
of his gasoline launch Just In time. Ha
dragged the sleeper a little to the "star
board," and was about to sail away
when Hlckle awoke. He thought tho Jit
ney Jehu was going to torpedo hint and
showered hlra with sand. As Hlckle did
not move tho light from hla necK xno
pilot waa afraid to strike him for fear of
starting' a tire.
Policeman Smith saw the moving red
light and was attracted to tho seene. He
took Hlckle to the East Qlrord avenue
station.
" havo been yearning for tho sea
shore." said Hlckle. when arraigned bo
fore Magistrate Stevenson, "and I saw a
chance to have a little happiness when I
discovered the sand. It made, me think
of thoso happy days when I was a waiter

CHAPTCH VI (Continued).
WHILE Monsieur Flaubert spoko Tar
zan selected a clgarotto from his
case, and lighted it Do Coudo was tho
personification of coolness was ho not
tho best shot In Franco?
Presently Monslour Flaubert nodded
to D'Arnot, and each man placed his
principal In position.
"Aro you quite ready, gentlemen 7"
asked Monsieur Flaubert.
"Quite," replied Do Coudo.
Tarzan nodded. Monslour Flaubert
gavo the signal. Ho and D'Arnot step
ped back 'a few paces to bo out of tho
lino of flro ns tho men paced slowly
apart. Six I Seven! Elghtl Thcro were
toara In D'Arnot'a eyes. Ho loved Tarzan
very much. Nino! Another pace, and
the poor Heutcnnnt gavo tho signal ho so
hated to give. To him it sounded tho
doom of his best friend.
Quickly Do Coudo wheeled and fired.
Torzan gavo a llttlo start. His pistol
still dangled at his side. Do Coudo hesl
tated, ns though waiting to seo his an
tagonist crumplo to tho ground. The
Frenchman was too experienced a marks
man not to know that ho had scored a
hit. Still Tarzan made no movo to ralso
hla ptstol. Do Cqude fired onco more, but
the nttltudo of the ape-man tho utter
Indifference that was so apparent In
every line of tho nonchalant easo of his
giant figure, and the even, unruffled puff
ing of his clgarotto had disconcerted the
best marksman In France. This tlmo
Tarzan did not start, but ngaln Do Couda
knew that ho had hit.
Suddenly tho explanation leaped to his
mind his antagonist was ccolly taking
theso terrlblo chances In tho hope that ho
would receive no staggering wound from
"any of Do Coudo's three shots. (Then ho
would take his own tlmo about shooting
Dt Coudo down deliberately, coolly, and
In cold blood. A llttlo shiver ran up tho
Frenchman's spine. It was fiendish dia
bolical. What manner of creaturo was
thla that could stand complacently with
two bulletB In him, waiting for the third?
Ami so Do Coudo took careful aim this
time, but his nerve was gone, and ho
mado a-clean miss. Not onco had Tarzan
rplfcd his plBtol hand from where It hung
bcsldo his leg.
For a moment the two stood looking
straight Into each other's eyes. On Tar
zan's face was a pathetio expression of
disappointment. On Do Coude's a rapidly
growing expression of horror yes, of
torror.
Ho could endure It no longer.
"Mother of God! Monsieur shoot!" ho
screamed,
nut Tarzan did not raise, his pistol. In
stead, he advanced toward De Coudo, and
when D'Arnot and Monsieur Flaubert,
misinterpreting his Intention, would havo
rushed between them, he raised his left
hand in a sign of remonstrance.
"Do not fear," he said to them, "I shall
not harm him."
It was most unusual, but thoy halted.
Tarzan advanced until he was quite close
to Do Coude.
"There must havo been something
wrong with monsieur's pistol." ho said.
"Or monsieur Is unstrung. Take mine,
monsieur, and try again," and Tarzan
offered his pistol, butt foremost, to tho
astonished De Coude.
"Mon Dleu, monsieur!" cried tho latter.
"Are vou mad?"
"No. my friend," replied tho ape-man;
"but I deservfi to die. It Is tho only way
fn which I may atono for tho wrong I
have done a very good woman. Tako my
pistol and do as I bid."
"It would be murder," replied De Coude.
"Ilut what wrong did you do my wife?
She swore to me that"
"I do not moan that," said Tarzan,
quickly. "You saw all the wrong that
passed between us. But that was enough
to cast a shadow upon har name, and to
ruin the happiness of a man against
whom I had no enmity. .The fault was
all mine, and so I hoped to die for It this
morning. I am disappointed that mon
sieur is not so wonderful a marksman as
I had basn ltd to bsllevs,"
"You say that the fault was all yours?"
asked De Coude, eagerly.
"AU raloe, monsieur. Your wife U a
vary pure woman. She loves only you.
Tba fault that you saw was all mine.
The thing that brought ma there was
no fault of either the Countess de Coude
or pysslf. Hare is a paper which will
guile poltlvly dstaoastrato that," and

ihea he looked uu t Tj-zii.
"You nro a very bravo nnd chivalrous
gentleman," ho said. "I thank God I
did not kill you."
Do Coude was a Frenchman. French
men nro Impulsive. Ho threw his arms
about Tnrzan nnd embraced him. Mon
sieur Flaubert embraced D'Arnot. Thcro
was no one to cmbraco tho doctor. So,
possibly, It was plquo which prompted
him to Interfere, nnd demand that ho bo
permitted to dress Tarzan's wounds.
"This gentleman was hit once, at least,"
ho said. "Possibly thrlco."
"Twice," said Tarzan. "Onco In tho
left shoulder, nnd again In tho left Bide
both flesh wounds, I think." Dut the doc
tor Insisted upon stretching him upon
tho sward, and tinkering with him until
tho wounds wcro cleansed and tho flow
of blood checked.
Onto result of the duel was that they
nil rodo back to Paris together, In D'Ar
not'a car, tho best of frlonds. Do Coudo
was so relieved to havo had this doublo
assuranco of his wlfo's loyalty that ho
felt no rancor at all toward Tarzan. It
Is truo that tho latter had assumed much
moro of the fault than was rightly
his, but If ho lied a llttlo ho may bo
excused, for ho lied In tho servlco' of a
woman, nnd no lied llko" a gentleman.
Tho ape-man was confined to his bed
for sovcral days. Ho felt that it was
foolish and unnecessary, but tho doctor
and D'Arnot took tho matter bo to heart
that ho gave in to please them, though
It mado him laugh to think of' It.
"It Is droll," ho said to D'Arnot "To
Ho abed becauso of a pin prick!' Why,
when Bolgaul, tho king gorilla, tore me
almost to pieces, whllo I was still but a
llttlo boy, did I have a nlco soft bed to
llo on? No, only the damp, rotting vego
tation of the Jungle. Hidden beneath
Boma friendly bush I lny for dayB and
weeks with only Knla to nurso me
poor, faithful Kala, who kept tho Insects
from my wounds and warned off tho
beasts of prey.
"When I called for water Bho brought
It to me In her own mouth tho only way
sho knew to carry It. There was no
sterilized gauze, thcro was no antiseptic
bandage there was nothing that would
not havo driven our dear doctor mad to
havo seen. Yet I recovered recovered to
llo in bed because of a tiny Bcratch that
ono of tho Junglo folk would Bcarco realize
unless It wero upon the end of his nose."
But tho tlmo was Boon over, and before
ho realized It Tarzan found himself
nbroad again. Several times Do Coude
had called, and when ho found thnt Tar
zan waa anxious for employment of somo
nature ho promised to seo what could be
dono to find a berth for him.
It was the first day that Tarzan waa
permitted to go out that ho received a
message from Do Coudo requesting him
to call at the count's office that after
noon. He found De Coude awaiting him with
a very pleasant welcome, and a sincere
congratulation that ho was once moro
upon his feet Neither had ever men
tioned tho duel or tho cause of It since
that morning upon the field of honor.
"I think that I have found Just the
thing for you, Monsieur Torzan," Bald the
count. "It Is a position of much trust
and responsibility, which also requires
considerable physical courage and
prowess. I cannot Imagine a man better
fitted than you, my dear Monsieur Tnr
zan, for this very position. It will neces
sitate travel, and later It may lead to a
very much better post possibly In tho
diplomatic service,
"At first, for a Bhort time only, you
will be a special agent In the service of
tho ministry of war. Come, I will tako
you to the gentleman who will bo your
chief. He can explain tho duties better
than I, and then you will bo in a posi
tion to Judge If you wish to accept or
no."
Do Coude himself escorted Tarzan to
the office of General Itochere, tho chief
of the bureau to which Tarzan would be
attached If he accepted the position. There
the count left him. after a glowing de
scription to the general of tho many at
tributes possessed hy the ape-man which
should fit him for the work of the service.
A nan nour later Tarzan walked out
of the office the possessor of the first
position he had ever held, On the morrow
he was to return for further Instructions,
though General Itochere had made it quite
plain -that Tarzan might prepare to leave
Paris for an almost indefinite period, pos
sibly on the morrow.

good news to D'Arnot. At laBt ho was

was to cam money, and, best of all, to
travel and seo tho world.
Ho could scarcely wait to get well In
side D'Arnot's sitting room beforo ha
burst out with tho glad tidings. D'Arnot
was not so pleased.
"It seems to delight you to think that
you nro to leave Paris, and that wo shall
not seo each other for months, perhaps.
Tarzan, you aro a most ungrateful

"No, Paul; I am a llttlo child. I havo

And so It camo that on tho following
day Tarzan loft Paris en routo for Mar

CHAPTER. VII.
THE DANCING GIRL OF SIDI AISSA.
TARZAN'S first mission did not bid
fair to bo cither exciting or vastly Im
portant Thero wob a certain lieutenant
of spahls whom the Government had rea
son to suspect of Improper relations with
a groat European Power. This Lieu
tenant Gernols, who wns at present sta
tioned at Sldl-bel-Abbes, had recently
been attached to tho General Staff, where
certain Information of great military
valuo had come Into his possession In tho
ordinary routine of bis duties. It was
this Information which tho Government
suspected tho great Power was bartering
for with tho officer.
It was at most but a vaguo hint
dropped ly a certain notorious, Farlslcnno
in a Jeiious mood that had caused sus
picion to rest upon tho lieutenant But
General Staffs aro Jealous of their se
crets, and treason so serious a thing that
oven a hint of It may not be safely neg
lected. And so It was that Tarzan had
come to Algeria In tho guise of an Amer
ican hunter and traveler to keep a close
cyo upon Lieutenant Gernols.
He had looked forward with keen de
light to again seeing his beloved Africa,
but this northern aspect of It was so
different from his tropical Jungle homo
that he might as well have been back In
Paris for all tho heart thrills of home
coming that he experienced. At Oran he
epent a day wandering through tho -narrow,
crooked alleys of the Arab quarter
enjoying tho strange, new sights. Tho
next day found him at SIdl-bel-Abbcs,
where he presented his letters of Intro
duction to both civil and military authori
tiesletters which gavo no clew to the
real significance of his mission.
Tarzan possessed a sufficient command
of English to enable him to pass among
Arabs and Frenchmen as an American,
and that was all that waa required of It
AVhcn he met an Englishman ho spoko
French In order that ho might not betray
himself, but occasionally talked in Eng
lish to foreigners who understood that
tongue, but could not note the slight Im
perfections of accent and pronunciation
that wero his.
Here he became acquainted with many
of the French officers, and soon became
a favorite among them. He met Gernols,
whom he found to be a taciturn, dyspep-tlc-Iooklng
man of about 40, having little
or no social Intercourse with his fellows.
For a month nothing of moment oc
curred. Gernols apparently had no visit
ors, nor did he on his occasional visits to
the town hold communication with any
who might oven by the wildest (light of
imagination be construed Into secret
agents of a foreign power, Tarzan was
beginning to hope that, after all, the
rumor might have been false, when sud
denly Gernols was ordered to Bou Saada
In the Petit Sahara far to the south.

offlcers, Captain Gerard, had hmo
excellent friend of Tarzan'. nnd so, when
tho npo-man suggested that ho should
embrace tho opportunity of accompany
ing h'm to Bou Bandn. where he expected
to find hunting, It caused not the slightest
suspicion. , , , .
At Boulra the detachment detrained,
and the balance of the Journey was made
In tho saddle. Ah Tarzan Was dickering
at Boulra for a mount he cnughl a brief
gllmpfe of n mnn In European clothes
evelng him from the doorway of A native
coffeehouse, but as Tarzan ookcJ. e
man turned and entered thb little, low
celled mud hut, and but for a haunting
Impression that there had been something
familiar about the faco or figure of the
Wlow, Tarzan gave the matter no further
thought. , .,,,
The march to Aumnlo was fatiguing to
Tnrzan, whose equestrian experiences
hitherto had been confined to a courso of
riding lessons In ft Parisian academy,
and so It was that ho quickly sought the
comforts of a btd In the Hotel Grossat,
while tho officers nnd troops took up their
quarters nt the military post.
Although Tarzan was called early tho
following morning, tho company of spahls
was on tho march before ho had finished
his breakfast. Ho was hurrying through
hla meal that tho soldiers might not got
too far In advanco of him when he
glanced through the door connecting tho
dining room with tho bar.
To his surprise, ho saw Gernols stand
ing thero In conversation with the very
stranger he had seen In tho coffeehouse
at Boulra the day previous. He could
not bo mistaken, for there was tho samo
strangely familiar nttltudo and figure,
though tho man's back wao toward him.
Afl his eyes lingered on tho two, Ger
nols looked up nnd caught tho Intent ex
pression on Tarzan's face. The stronger
.was talking In a low whisper nt tho time,
but tho French officer Immediately Inter
rupted him, nnd the two at onco turned
away and passed out of tho range of Tar
zan's vision.
This was tho first suspicious occurrenco
that Tarzan had ever witnessed In con
nection with Gernols' actions, but he was
posltlvo that tho men had left tho Bar
room solely becauso Gernols had caught
Tarzan's eyes upon them! then thero waa
tho persistent Impression of fnmlllarlty
about tho stranger to further augment
the npo-mnn's belief that hero at length
was something which would bear watch
ing. A moment later Tarzan entered the bar
room, but the men had left, nor did ho seo
aught of them In tho street beyond,
though ho found a pretext to rldo to vari
ous shops beforo ho set out after tho
column which had now consldcrablo start
of him. Ho did not overtako them until
ho reached Sldl Aissa shortly after noon,
whora tho soldiers had halted for an
hour's rest. Horo ho found Gernols with
tho column, but thcro was no sign of the
etraifger.
It was market day at Sldl Aissa, and tho
numberless caravans of camels cpmlng In
from tho desert, nnd tho crowds of bick
ering Arabs In tho market place, filled
Tarzan with a consuming desire to remain
for a day that he might seo more of
theso sons of tho desert. Thus It was
thnt the company of spahls marched on
that afternoon toward Bou Saada without
him. Ho spent the hours until dark wan
dering about tho market in company with
a youthful Arab, ono Abdul, who had
been recommended to him By tho Inn
keeper as a trustworthy servant and in
terpreter. iicro Tarzan purchased n better mount
than tho ono ho had selected at Bourta.
nnd. entering Into conversation with tho
stntely Arab to whom the animal had be
longed, learned that tho seller was Ka
dour Ben Saden, ehclk of a desert tribe
far south of DJelfa. Through Abdul, Tar
zan invited his new acquaintance to dine
with him. As the three wero making
their way through tho crowds of mar
keters, camels, donkoys and horses that
filled tho market placo with a confusing
babel of sounds, Abdul plucked at Tar
zan's sleeve.
"Look, master, bclnd pa," and ho
turned, pointing at a figure which disap
peared behind a camel as Tarzan turned.
"He has been following us about all after
noon," continued Abdul.
"I caught only a glimpse of an Arab In
a dark-blue burnooso and white turban,"
replied Tnrzan. "Is It he you mean?"
"Yes. I suspected him because he seems
a stranger here, without other business
than following us, which Is not the way
of the Arab who Is honest, and also be
cause he keeps tho lower part of his face
hlddon, only his eyes showing. He must
bo a bad man, or he would have honest
business of his own to occupy his tlmo."
"Ho Is on tho wrong scent then, Ab
dul," replied Tarzan, "for no ono here
can have any grievance against me. This
Is my first visit to your country, and
none knows me. He will soon discover
his error and cease to follow us."
"Unless ho bo bent on robbery," re
turned Abdul.
"Then all wo can do is wait until he is
ready to try his hand upon us," laughed
Tarzan, "and I warrant that he will get
his bellyful of robbing now that we aro
prepared for him," and so he dismissed
tho subject from his mind, though he was
destined to recall It before many hours
througn a most unlooked-for occurrence.
Kadour Ben Saden having dined well,
prepared to take leave of his host With
dignified protestations of friendship he
Invited Tarzan to visit him in his wild
domain, where the antelope, the stag, the
boar, the panther and the lion might Btlll
be found in sufficient numbers to tempt
an ardent huntsman.
On his departure the ape-man, with Ab
dul, wandered again Into the streets of
Sldl Aissa, where ho was Boon attracted
by the wild din of sound coming from tho
open doorway of one of the numerous
cafes maures. It was after 8, and the
dancing was In full 'swing as Tarzan en
tered. The room was filled to repletion
with Arabs, All were smoking and drink
ing their thick hot coffee.
Tarzan and Abdul found seats near the
centre of the room, though the terrific
nolao produced by the musicians upon
their Arab drums and pipes would have
rendered a seat farther from them more
-a
acceptable to the qulet-lovmg npe man. a
rather good-looking Ouled-Nall was .
