CHAPTER VII (Continued)).
WHCN It camo analn tho Bltl's turn to
dance sho hovered close to Tanan,
and for the ape-man - alone wero her
cweeteat grnllca. Many an ugly scowl was
cast upon the tall European by swarthy,
tlark-eyed eons of tho desert, but neither
smiles nor scowls produced any outward
ly visible effect Upon him. Again ths girl
cast her handkerchief upon his shoulder,
and again was .he rewarded with a xrano
piece As she was stlcklnff it upon her
forehead, after the custom of her kind
ho bent low toward Tarzan, whispering
n quick word In his car.
"There aro two without In the court,
.hequlckl in okeSrftCinpromrseS
would harm m'sleur. At first IP""
to lire you to them, but you haw been
Wna. and I cannot do It. Go middy, be
Sre they find that I have failed them. I
think that they are very bad men.
Tarzan thanked the f rl. assurine her
that ho would bo careful, and. having "n
lehed her dance, she crossed to the little
dootway and went out Into the court. Dut
Tarzan did not leave tho cafe as she had
ursed.
For another half hour nothing unusual
occurred, then a surly looklnK Arab
entered the cafe from the street. He stood
near Tarzan. where ho deliberately made
Pnsultlng remarks About the European,
but as they wero n his native 'tongue Tar
zan was entirely Innocent of their purport
until Abdul took It upon himself to en
lighten him.
"This fellpw Is looking for trouble,
warned Abdul. "He Is not atone. In fact,
Jn case of a disturbance, nearly every
man here would be against you. It would
ba better to leave quietly, master.
"Ask the fellow what he wants," com
manded Tarzan. . . , .. ,
"Ho says that 'the dog of a Christian
insulted the Oulcd-Nall, who belongs to
him. He means trouble, m sleur.
"Tell him that I did not Insult his or
any other Ouled-Nall. that I wish him to
go away and leave me alone. That I have
no quarrel with him. nor has he any with
frit "
"Ho says." replied Abdul, after deliver
ing this message to the Arab, "that be
aides being a dog yourself that you are
the son of one. and that your grand
mother was a hyena. Incidentally you
are a liar."
The attention of those near by had now
been, attracted by tho altercation, and
the sneering laughs that followed thin
torrent of Invective easily Indicated tnn
trend of tho sympathies of the majority
of the audience.
Tarzan did not like being laughed at,
neither djd he relish the terms applied to
him by tho Arab, but he showed no sign
of nnger as he arose from his seat upon
the bench. A half smile played nbout his
lips, but of a sudden n mighty fist Bhot
Into the face of the scowling Arab, and
back of It wero the terrible muscles of
the ape-man.
At the Instant that the man fell a half
dozen fierce plainsmen sprang Into the
room from where they had apparently
beep waiting for their cue In the street
before tho cafe "With cries of "Kill the
unbeliever!" and "Down with the dog of
a Christian!" they made straight for
Tarzan.
A number of tho younger Arabs In the
audience sprang to their feet to Join In
the assault upon the unarmed white man.
Tarzan and Abdul were rushed back to
ward the end of the room by the very
force of numbers opposing them. The
young Arab remained loyal to his master,
and with drawn knife fought at his side.
"With tremendous blows the ape-man
felled all who came within reaoh of his
powerful hands. He fought quietly and
without a. word, upon hla lips the same
half smile they had worn as he rose to
strike down the man who had Insulted
him. It seemed Impossible J,hat either ho
or Abdul could survive the sea of wicked
looking swords and knives that sur
rounded them, but the very numbers of
their assailants proved the best bulwark
of their safety. So closely packed was
the howling, cursing mob that no weapon
could be wielded to advantnge, and none
of thn Arabs dared use a firearm for fear
of wounding one of his compatriots.
Finally Tarzan succeeded In seizing one
of the most persistent of hla attackers.
With a quick wrench he disarmed the
fellow, and then, holding him before them
as a shield, he backed slowly beside
Abdul toward the little door w.hlch led
Into the Inner courtyard. At the thres
hold he paused for an Instant, and, lifting
the struggling Arab above his head,
hurled him, as though from a catapult,
full In the faces of hla onpresslng fel
lows. Then Tarzan and Abdul Btepped Into
the semldarkneas of the court The
frightened Ouled-Nalls were crouching at
th tops of the Btalra which led to their
respective rooms, the only light In the
courtyard coming from tho sickly candles
which each girl had stuck with Its own
grease, to the woodwork of her door
frame, the better to display her charms
to those who might happen to traverse
the dark Inclosure.
Scarcely had Tarzan and Abdul emerged
from the room ere a revolver spoke close
at their backs from the shadows beneath
one of the stairways, and as they turned
to meet this new antagonist, two
rnufTted figures sprang toward them,
firing as they came Tarzan leaped to
meet these two new assailants The fore
most lay. a seoqnd later, in the trampled
dirt of the court, disarmed and groaning
from a broken wrist Abdul's knife found
tho vital of the second in the instant
that th ftllow'a revolver missed Are as
he held it to tne ittiiniui Araira mreneaa.
The maddened horde within the cafe
wr now rushing out In pursuit of their
BtiA The Ouled-Naila had extln
aulabad their candles At the cry from one
of their number, and the only light within
th yarlt came feebly from the open and
hlf-blockd door of the ca. Tanan

ke stood walUns w the rush of the men

A mighty fist shot into tho
that sho was tho same who had whis
pered tho warning In his ear earlier In
tho evening.
As they reached tho top of tho stairs
they could heur the nngry crowd search
ing the yard beneath.
"Soon they will search here,'' whis
pered the girl. "They must not find you,
for, thouuh you fight with tho strength
of many men, they will kill you In tho
end. Hasten, you can drop from the
farther window of my room to tho street
beyond. Before they discover that you
aro no longer In the court of the build
ings you will be safe within the hotel,"
But even ns she spoke, several men had
started up the stairway at the head of
which they stood. There was a sudden
cry from one of the searchers. They
had been discovered Quickly the crowd
rushed for the stairway. The foremost
assailant leaped quickly upward, but at
the top he met the sudden sword that
he hnd not expected tho quarry had been
unarmed before.
"With a cry, tho man toppled back upon
thoso behind him. Like tenpins they
rolled down tho stalre. Tho ancient and
rickety structure could not withstand the
strain of this unwonted weight and
Jarring. With 'a creaking and rending of
breaking wood it collapsed beneath the
Arabs, leaving Tarzan, Abdul, and tho
girl alone upon tho frail platform at tho
top.
"Cornel" cried the Ouled-Nall. "They
will reach us from another stairway
through tho room next to mine. "We
have not a moment to spare."
Just as they wero entering the room
Abdul heard and translated a cry from
tho yard bolow for several to hasten to
the street and cut off escape from that
Bide.
"We are lost now," said the- girl simply.
"We7" questioned Tarzan.
"Yes, m'sleur," sho responded; "they
will kill me ns well. Have I not aided
you?"
This put a different aspect on the mat
ter. Tarzan had rather been enjoying tho
excitement and danger of the encounter.
He had not for an Instant supposed that
either Abdul or the girl could suffer ex
cept through accident, and he had only
retreated Just enough to keep from being
killed himself. He had had no Intention
of running away until he Baw that he
was hopelessly lost were he to remain.
He crossed to the window which over
looked the street. In a minute there
would be enemies below. Already he could
hear tho mob clambering tho stairway
to the next quarters they would be at the
door beside him In another Instant. Ho
put a foot upon the sill and leaned out,
but ha did not look down. Above him.
within arm's reach, was the low root of
the building. He called to the girl. She
came and stood beside him He put a
great arm about her and lifted her across
his shoulder '
"Walt here until I reach down for you
from above," he said to Abdul. "In the
meantime shove everything in the room
against that door It may delay them long
enough." Then he stepped to the sill of
the narrow window with the girl upon
his shoulders, "Hold tight," he cautioned
her. A moment later he had clambered
to the roof above with the ease and dex
terity ot nn npe. Setting the girl down,
he leaned far over the roof's edge, calling
softly to Abdul. The youth ran to the
window,
"Your hand," whispered Tarzan. The
men In the room beyond were battering
at the door With a suaaen crash it fell
splintering In. and at the same Instant
Abdul felt himself lifted like a feather
on to the roof above. They were not a
moment too soon, for as the men broke
Into the room which they had Just quit
ted a dozen more rounded the corner Jn
the street below and came running to a
spot beneath tho girl's window.
CHAPTER VIII.
THE FIG-HT IN THE DESERT.
AS the three squatted upon the roof
J, above the quarters of ths Ouled-,
Nolls they heard tho angry cursing of
tho Arabs In the room beneath Abdul
translated from time to time to Tarzan.
"They are berating those in the street
below now," sajd Abdul, "for permitting
us to escape so easily Those. In the
street say that we did not come that way
that we are still within tho building, and
that thos shove, bejng too cowardly to
attack us. are attempting to deceive them
Into believing that we have escaped In
u. moment, tby will have fighting of thstr
ayttt to attend to If they continue their
btawlfug "
FrejsMntly those is the building gave up
lb seiatia. and rstMrnsd to tk cafe. A
few remained In the street bslaw, smek
log fttvl talking
Tarxan siWKe to the girl, thanking her
for the sacrifice she bad made for hitn,
a total stranger
"I liked you." she said simply. "You
were unlike the others who come to the
cafe You did not speak coarsely to tne
ths manner in which you gave me
pioi.ey js not an insult
"What shall you do after tonlghtf be
asked- "You cannot return to the cafe.

this or another cafe. I have not re
mained because I wished to; I havo been
a prisoner."
"A prisoner!" ejaculated Tarzan, ln
creduously. "A slave would be tho better word,"
Bhc answered. "I was stolen In tho night
from my father's douar by a band of
marauders. They brought mo hero and
sold me to tho Arab who keeps this cafe.
It has been nearly two years now since
I saw the Inst of mine own people. They
aro very far to tho south. They never
came to Sldl Alssa."
"You would like to return to your peo
ple?"' asked Tarzan. "Then I shall
promiso to see you safely so far as Bou
Snada ut least. Thoro wo can doubtless
arrango with tho commandant to send
you the rest of the way "
"Oh, m'sleur," she cried, "how can 1
ever repay you! You cannot really mean
that you will do so much for a poor
Oulod-N'aU But my father can rownrd
you, nnd ho wilt, fo.r Is he not a great
sheik? He Is Kadou'r ben Saden."
"Kadour ben Saden!" ejaculated Tar
zan "Why, Kadour ben Saden Is In Sldl
Alssa this very night. He dined with
roe but a fow hours since."
"My father In Sldl Alssa?" cried tho
amazed girl. "Allah be praised then,
for I nm Indeed saved "
"Hssh"' cautioned Abdul. "Listen."
From below came the sound of voices,
quite distinguishable upon the still night
air. Tarzan could not understand tho
words, but Abdul and the girl translated.
"They have gone now," said tho latter.
"It Is you thoy want, m'sleur. One of
them said that the stranger who had
offered money for your slaying lay in
tho house or Akmed din Soulef with a
broken wrist, but that ho had offered a
still greater reward If some would lay
in wait for you upon the road to Bou
Saoda and kill you."
"It Is he who followed m'sleur about
the market today," exclaimed Abdul. "I
saw him again within the cafe-hlm and
another; and the two went out Into the
Inner court after talking with this girl
heie. It was they who attacked and
fired upon us as we came out of the cafe
Why do they wish to kill you, m'sleur?"
"I do not know," replied Tarzan, and
then, after a pause, "Unless " But he
did not finish, for the thought that had
come to his mind, while it seemed the
only reasonable solution of tho mystery,
appeared ut the same time quite im
probable. Presently the men In tho street went
away. Tho courtyard and the cafe wero
deserted, Cautiously Tartan lowered
himself to the sill of the girl's window.
The room was empty. He returned to
the roof and let Abdul down, then he
lowered the girl to the arms of the wait
ing Arab.
From the window Abdul dropped the
short distance to the street below, while
Tarzan took the girl In his arms and
leaped down as he had done on eo many
other occasions In his own forest with a
burden in his arms. A little cry of alarm
was startled from the girl's lips, but Tar
zan landed In the street with but an Im
perceptible Jar, and lowered her In safety
to her feet.
She clung to him for a moment.
"How strong m'sleur Is, and how ac
tive," she cried. "El adrea, the black Hon,
himself Is not more so."
Without further mishap they reached
tho hotel. The sleepy landlord objected
strenuously to Instituting a search for
Kadour ben eaaen until the following
morning, but a piece of gold put a differ
ent aspect on the matter, so that a few
moments later a servant had started toJ
make the rounds of the lesser native hos
telrles, where it might be expected that
a desert sheik would find congenial as
sociations. Tarzan had felt It necessary
to find the girl's father that night, for
fear he might start on his homeward
Journey too early In the morning to be
Intercepted. s
They had waited perhaps half an hour
when tne messenger returned with Ka
dour ben Saden. Tho old sheik entered
the room with a questioning expression
upon his proud face.
"Monsieur has done me the honor to
" he commenoed, and then his eyes
fell upon the girl- With outstretched
arms he crossed the room to meet her.
"My daughter!' ha cried. "Allah Is mer
clfull" and tears dimmed the martial eyes
of the old warrior.
When, the story of her abduction and
her Anal rescue had been told to Kadour
ben Saden he extended bis hand to Tar
zan. "All that is Kadour ben Baden's is
thine, my friend, even to his life." he said
very simply, but Tarzan knew that those
were no ide wards.
It was deelded that although three of
them would have u rwe after praotloally
ho sleep, It would be best to make an
early start In the morning, and attempt
to ride all the way to Bou $aada in one
day it weul4 feftve been comparatively
easy for the men. but for the girt it was
sure to be a fatlgvtag Journey
She. however, was the most anxious to
undertake it, for it seemed to her that
Ote could not quickly enough rsah the
family and Meade from whesa site sad

The Daily Story
Gordon's Debutant
She was such n. tiny mite of a child
that when Gordon, the big stage man
tiger, came to the door to speak to hef
ho Involuntarily leaned over as If afraid
that his voice would not reach down to
her unless h did so.
"80 your name's Edith?" ho Bald,
cheerily, as he glanced at the card ftoin
the dramatic agency. "Where's your
mamma?" . .
"Please," tho child answered com'
posediy, "my mamma's sick and she
can't come." , .
"That's bad," he muttered to Harklns,
tho manager, who had Just come out of
his office; "can't have e. little tyko like
that about the shop and no one to look
after her," . .
Tho child's sharp ears caught the
speech, and she tugged at Gordon's coat
to command his attention "Please," she
urged, "Nellie can como with me In the
evenings. Nellie works In a shop day
times, but I'll bo awfully good at the
matinees nnd It won't matter. Wo need
the money so much."
Gordon's face softened. Ho was a
good-hearted fellow, rough at rehearsals,
but as gentle as a woman at other times.
Something In the anxious, pleading face
touched him, nnd he patted the little
cheek.
"Wo can fix it about the matinees," he
said kindly. "You come for rehearsal at
10 In tho morning."
"Will It be very long before the pay
begins?" sho asked eagerly. She had
heard that thore were weeks of rehearsal
when tho nctors were not paid.
"About four wcekB before tho plect
goes on." ho said carelessly, "but you
get paid for rehearsing," he continued,
unable to faoe the mute dismay In the
little face, and deciding thnt he would
be the treasurer for the time being.
"I'm so glnd," she cried, her face
lighting up, "I'll be here tomorrow." And
sho rnn out of the gloomy entrance.
Gordon faced Harklns' quizzical look
defiantly. "You don't havo to pay her
till the show starts," he said, as he saw
that tho other would speak. "I'll stand
that"." And he went back on the stage,
leaving Harklns too astonished to com
ment. ,
Gordon was a good-hearted chap, nc
knew, but even that did not account for
this generous promise that tho child
would be paid for rehearsal. Ho could
not know that In tho secret chnmbers of
Gordon's heart an old wound was bleed
ing afresh, nnd that It was a child's face
that had evoked tho burled memory or
the woman ho had loved and would love
till death. Tho little girl was the Image
of Alice Standlsh, who had been In the
first company in which he had ever
played, and who had given up a 'tnB
man'B lovo for tho graceful wiles of the
leading man, whose passion for hla prettv
v,lfo had turned to dlstasto before they
had been married two years.
Franklyn, used to the homage of hun
dreds of hero worshipers, wna not con
tent with the unselfish lovo of one
woman; there had been a divorce, and
Alice had dropped from the little world
of ,tho stage. It was whispered that she
hud gone to her home, but where that
was none knew, and Gordon had only
tho memory of his love.
All through that day the face of Alice
Standlsh was before htm, and, even In
his dreams that he llvod again, that old
memory of days beforo Franklyn Joined
tho company. In the morning Baby
Edith's face reminded him so strongly of
his lost lovo that he asked her If her
mother's name was not Alice Standlsh
Trnnklyn.
His heart sank ns the child gravely
shook her head. "My mamma's nalno Is
Ashley," sho sold, nnd Gordon turned
away. Somehow ho had hoped that this
was her child. Ho took down the name
for the application for a Children's So
clty permit allowing the child to appear
on tho stage, and turned It over to Har
klns. Then he put from him the hope
which had led him these will-o'-the-wisp
fanclrs, and found at least temporary
iforgetfulness in tho'work of directing tho
rehearsal.
For two days ho was depressed and not
himself when ho was away from his
work, nnd the actors complained at the
feverish onergy with which he conducted
the rehearsals.
It was on the fourth day that rehearsal
was Interrupted by the appearance of an
odlcer of the Children's Society on tho
itage.
"Say," scolded that wrought-up official,
"what do you people mean by sending me
on a wild goose chase? That Mrs. Ashley
says she hasn't any child on the stage.
She says the kid's going to school, and
she Is."
Gordon called Edith. "Didn't you say
your mamma's name was Ashley?" he
asked sharply. "This gentleman says she
only has a little girl going to school."
The child caught a glimpse ot tho badge
on the officer's coat and threw herself
Into Gordon's arms with a frightened
cry. "Don't let him arrest me! Don't let
him arrest me!" sbe walled.
"Why should he arrest you?" asked
Gordon, trying to soothe her.
"I told a story' she sobbed. "I said
I was Effle Ashley so mamma wouldn't
know I was going to be an actress. You
see, mamma was so Blck and needed
money so much, and when a lady asked
mo on the street If I wanted to go on
the stage mamma cried and said I
mustn't ever, but ehe had to have money,
and I went to the lady myself and she
sent me here."
"What Is your mamma's name?" asked
Gordon, gently.
"It Is Franklyn," walled the child
"Just like you said. It was. I was so
afraid you knew, an you did. Oh, now
mamma will know, and Bhe'il cry Just
like she did when the lady came."

PMadelphians "Enlisf ' for
War Department Camp
Granting that we enn mushroom together a miscel
laneously armed, partly efficient, vast body of citizen
soldiers, who's going to do the organizing? Where
can we look for officers? The War Department's
