AUTHOR OP "TAHZAN OP THE APES"
CHAPTER X-(Contlnued).
AM-BEN AHMED tells me," he aald,
A "that this man sat alone) In the
mountains and slew el adren. What the
business of the stranger who sent us after
him may he, I know not, and what he
mAy do with this man when we turn him
over to him, I caro not; but tho prisoner
la n. brave man, and while he Is In our
hands he shall bo treated With the re
spect that be due one who hunts tho lord
with tho large head alono and by night
and slays him."
TttrzKii had heard of tho respect In
tvhlch Arabs held a llon-klllcr, and he
wa not sorry that chanco had played
Into his hands thus favorably to relieve
him of the petty tortures of. tho tribe.
Shortly after this he was taken to a
goatskin tent upon the upper side of the
dottar Thero he wns fed, and then, se
curely bound, was left lying on a piece
of native carpet, alono In the tent.
He could seo a guard sitting before tho
door of his frail prison, but when he at
tempted to force the stout bonds that
held him he realized that any extra pre
caution on the part of his captors Was
qulto unnecessary; not oven his slant
muscles could part thoso numerous
stratids
Just before dusk several men ap
proached tho tent whero he lay and en
tered It. All were In Arab dress, but
presently one of tho number advanced
to Tarzan'B side, and as he lot the folds
of cloth that had hidden tho lower half
of his face fall away tho ape-man saw
the malevolent features of Nicholas Ito
ltoff Thero was a naBty smllo on tho
bearded lips.
"Ah, Monsieur Tarzan," he said, "this Is
tndecd a pleasure. But why do you not
rise and Erect your truest" Then, with
an uitly oath, "Got up, you dog!" and,
drawing back his foot, he kicked Tarzan
heavily In the side. "And hero Is another,
and another, and another," he continued,
as he kicked Tarzan about the face and
Ido. "One for each of the Injuries you
have done me."
The ape-man made no reply he did
not even deign to look upon the Itusslan
again after the first glance of recogni
tion. Finally the sheik, who had been
standing a mute and frowning witness of
the cowardly attack. Intervened.
"Stop!" he commanded. "Kill him If
you will, but I will see no bravo man
subjected to such Indignities In my pres
ence. I have, half a mind to turn him
loose, that I may see how long you would
kick him then."
This threat put a sudden end to
Hokoft's brutality, for he had no craving
to see Tarzan loosed from his bonds
while he was within reach of those
powerful hands.
"Very well," he replied to the Arab,
"I shall kill him presently."
"Not within the precincts of my douar,"
returned the sheik. "When ho leaves
here he leaves alive. What you do with
him In the deserfls none of my concern,
but I shall not have the blood of a
Frenchman on the hands of my tribe on
account of another Irian's quarrel they
would send soldiers here and kill many
of my people, and burn our tents and
drlvo away our flocks."
"As you say," growled Itokoff. "I'll
take him out Into the desert below the
douar and dispatch him."
"You will take him a day's ride from
my country," said the sheik, firmly, "and
some of my children shall follow you to
eeo that you do not disobey mo other
wise there mny be two dead Frenchmen
In tho desert."
nokoff shrugged. "Then I shall have to
wait until the morrow It Is already
dark."
"As you will," said the sheik. "But by
an hour after dawn you must be gone
from my douar. I have little liking for
unbelievers, and none at all for a
cow ard "
nokoff would have made some kind of
retort, but he checked himself, for he
realized that It would require but little
excuse for the old man to turn upon him.
Together they left the tent. At the door
Itokoff could not resist the temptation to
turn and fling a parting taunt at Tarzan.
"Bleep well, monsieur," he eald, "and
do not forget to pray well, for when you
die tomorrow It will be In such agony
that you will bo unable to pray for blas
pheming." No on) hid bothered to bring Tarzan
either food or water since noon, and con
sequently he suffered considerably from
thirst Ife, wondered If It would be worth
while to ask his guard for water, but
after making two or three requests with
out receiving any response he decided
that It would not.
Far up In the mountains he heard a
lion roar. How much safer one was, he
eollloqutaed. In the haunts of wild beasts
than In the haunts of men. Never In all
his Jungle life hod he been more relent
lessly tracked xlown than In the past few
months of hla experience among civilized
men. Never bad bo been any nearer
death.
Again the Hon roared. It sounded a
little nearer. Tarzan felt the old, wild
Impulse to reply with the challenge of
his kind. He had almost forgotten that
he was a man and not an ape. He
tugged at hla bends. God, if he could
but get them near those strong teeth of
his. He felt a wild wave of madness
eweep over him as his efforts to regain
his liberty met with failure.
Numa was roaring almost continually
now It was quits evident that he wai
coming down into the desert to hunt. It
waa the roar of a hungry Hon. Tarzan
envied him, for he was free. No ono
would tie him with ropes and slaughter
him like a. sheep It waa that which
gulled the ape-man. He did not fear
to die. no It was the humiliation of do
feat before death, without even a chanco
to battle for bis llfe.
It mutt be near midnight, thought Tar
zan He haiL several hours to live. Pos
sibly h would yet find a way to take
Itokoff with him on the long Journey. Ho
could hear the savage lord of the desert
quite clot by now. Possibly he eousiit
his meat from among the penned ani
mals within the dotiar.
For a long tltne alienee reigned, then
Tarsan'a trained aawi aauaht the sound
of a Healthily rnrtiB body. It aama
from the side of the tout aeafaet tba
nuiuiitaJos the back Nearer and aaarer
it came tit wulid, listening Intently, for
It to pas Fur a time there waj alienee
without, such a teratbi silence that Tar
awa was surprised that he did not boar
ibe broaching of Ih aahnal he felt auia
mnl be irourhtas date to the back
wall of hla tent
There! " ' moving again Closer It

more merciful than he could have hoped
for at the hands of the Itusslan.
Now the back of tho lent drops Into
place, and all Is darkness again what
ever It la la Insldo tho tent with him. Ho
hears It creeping close to him now It
Is beside him. He closes his eyes nnd
waits for tho mighty paw. Upon his up
turned face falls the gentle touch of a
soft hand groping In the dark, and then
a girl's voice In n scarcely audible whjs
per pronounces his namo.
"Tea, It la I," ho whispers In reply
"But In the name of Heaven who nre
ou?"
"The Ouled-Nall of Sldl Altsa." came
the answer. While sho spoke Tarzan
could feel her working about his bonds.
Occasionally the cold steel of a knife
touched his flesh. A moment later he
was free.
"Cornel" Bho whispered.
On hands and knew ho followed hsr
out of the tent by the way she had
come. Sho continued crawling thus flat M
tno ground until ane rencneu n intio
patch of shrub. Thero sho halted until
he gained her side. For a moment he
looked at her before he spoke.
"I oannot understand," ho said at last
"Why are you hero? How did you know
thnt I was a prisoner In that tent? How
docs It hnppcn that It Is you who have
saved mo?"
Bhe smiled, "I have come a long way
tonight," she said, "and we have a long
way to go beforo we shall be out of dan
ger. Come: I shall tell you all about It
as wo go,"
Together they rose and set off across
tho desert In tho direction of tho moun
tains. "I was not qulto suro that I should
ever reach you," sho said at last. "El
nurea is abroad tonight, and after I left
tho hones I think he winded mo and
wns following I wns terribly fright
ened." "What a brave girl," ho said. "And
you ran all that risk for a stranger an
alien an unbeliever?"
Sho drew herself up very proudly.
"I am the daughter of the Sheik Ka
bour ben Snden," she answered. "I
should be no lit dnughter of his It I
would not risk my lifo to savo that of
the man who saved mine while ho yet
thought I was' but n common Ouled
Nall." "Nevertheless," he Insisted, "you are
a very bravo girl. But how did you
know that I was a prisoner back there?"
"Achrret-dln-Tnleb, who Is my cousin
on my father's side, was visiting some
friends who belong to tho tribe that cap
tured you. He was at the douar when
you were brought In. When ho reached
home he was telling us about tho big
Frenchman who had been captured by
All-ben-Ahmed for another Frenchman
who wished to kill him. From tho de
scription I knew that it must be you.
My father was away. I tried to persuade
somo of the men to come and save you,
but they would not do It, saying: "Let
tho unbelievers kill one another If they
wish. It Is none of our affair, and if wo
go and Interfere with Alt-ben-hmed's
plans we shall only stir up a fight with
our own people.'
"So when it was dark I came alone,
riding one horse and leading another for
you. Tiicy are tcincrca not far rrom
hero. By morning wo Bhall bo within my
father's douar. He should be there him
self by now then let them come nnd try
to take Kadour ben Saden's friend."
For a few moments they walked on In
silence.
"We should be near tho horses," she
said. "It Is strange that I do not see
them here,"
Then a moment later ohe stopped, with
a little cry of consternation,
"They aro gone!" she exclaimed. "It Is
here that I tethered them."
Tarzan stooped to examine tho ground.
He found that a large shrub had been
torn up by tho roots. Then he found
something else. There was a. wry smllo
on his face as he rose and turned to
ward tho girl.
"'El adrea has been here. From tho
signs., though, I rather think that his
prey escaped him. With a little start
they would be safe enough from him in
tho open."
Thero was nothing to do but continue
on foot. The way led them across a low
spur of the mountains, but the girl knew
the trail ns. well ns sho did her mother's
face. Thoy walked In easy, swinging
strides, Tarzan keeping a hand's breadth
behind the girl's shoulder, that she might
set the pace, and thus be less fatigued.
As they walked they talked, occasionally
stopping to listen for sounds of pursuit.
It was now a beautiful, moonlit night
The air was crisp and invigorating. Be
hind them lay the Interminable vista of
trie desert, dotted hero and there with nn
occasional oasis. The date palms of the
little fertile spot they had Just left and
the circle of goatskin tents, stood out
in sharp relief against the yellow sand a
phantom paradise upon a phantom sea.
Before them rose the grim and silent
mountains. Tarzan's blood leaped In his
veins. This was life! He looked down
upon tho girl beside him a daughter of
the desert walking across the face of a
dead world with a son of the Jungle, He
smiled at the thought. He wished that ha
had had a sister, and that she had been
like this girl. What a bully chum she
would havo been!
They had entered the mountains now,
nnd were progressing more slowly, for the
trail was steeper and very rocky.
For a few minutes they had been silent.
The girl was wondering If they would
reach her father's dcuar before the pur
suit had overtaken them. Tarzan was
wishing that they might walk on thus for
ever. If the girl were only a man they
might. He longed for a friend who loved
the same wild life that he'loved. Ho had
learned to crave companionship, but It
was his misfortune that most of the men
he knew preferred Immaculate linen and
their clubs to nakedness and the Jungle.
It was, of course, difficult to understand,
yet it was very evident that they did.
The two had Just turned a projecting
rock around whtoh the trail ran when
they were brought to a sudden stop.
There, beforo them, directly In tho middle
of the path, stood Numa, el adrea, the
black lion. His green eyes looked very
wicked and he bared his teeth and lashed
his bay-black sides with his angry tall.
Then he roared the fearsome, terror-inspiring
roar of the hungry lion which la
also angry.
"Your knife, said Tarzan to the girl, ex
tending his hand Bhe slipped the hilt of
the weapon Into his waiting palm. As his
fingers closed upon It he drew her back
and pushed her behind him- "Walk back
to the desert as rapidly as you can. It
you hear me pall you will know that all
Is wall and you can return."
"It is useless," she replied, resignedly.
"This Is the end."
"Do as I tell you." he commanded.
"Qulcklyl He Is about to charge " Tha
eril dropped back a Jew paoee, where she
stood watching for (be terrible sight that
she knew she should soon wit nana.
The Han was advancing slowly toward
Taraen. hla none to the ground, like a
challenging bull, his tail extended now
and quivering as though with intense ex
citement The ape-man stood, halt crouching, the
long Arab knife glistening In the moon
light Behind him tbe tense figure of taw
girl, motionless as a caren statue She
lean-id slightly forward, her ilea parted,
her wld Her only conscious thought
was wonder at the braver) of the man
who Jured face with . puny knife the lord
with U. large heed A aiaa of bar own

she uoutd not retpese s thrill of jJiuua
lUw a her eyas rested uva the berate
figure before her. Not tremor1 in the
wholo giant frame his attitude ns men
acing and defiant as that of el adrea
himself.
Tho Hon was quite close to him now
hut s fiw paces Intervened he crouched,
nnd Ihcn, With a deafening roar, he
sprang. . i
The Daily Story
GiiAPTnn xi.
AS NUMA el adrea launched himself
Xjl. with widespread paws and bared
fangs he looked to find this puny man as
easy prey as the scoro who had gone
dawn beneath him In tho past To htm
man was a clumsy, slow-moving, defense
less creatureho had Httlo respect 'or
him.
But this time he found that ho was
pitted against n creature ns agile and
quick ns himself. When hla mighty frame
struck tho spot where the man had been
he wns no longer thro.
The watching girl was transfixed by
astonishment at tho case with which tho
crouching man eluded the great paws.
And now, 0 Allah) Ho had rushed in be
hind el adrea's Bhoulder even beforo tho
beast could turn, and had grasped him by
tho mane. Tho Hon reared upon hla hind
legB like a horse Tarzan had known that
he would do this, and ho waR ready. A
giant arm encircled tho black-mancd
throat, nnd once, twice, a dozen times a.
sharp blado darted In and out of tho bay-
black sldo behind tho left shoulder.
Frnntlo wore tho leaps of Numa awful
hla ronra of rage and pain: but tho slant
upon hla back could not bo dislodged or
brought within reach of fangs or talons
In tho brief Interval of Ufa that remained
to the lord with the large hend. Ho was
qulto dead when Tarzan of tho Apes re
leased his hold nnd arose. Then the
daughter of the desert witnessed a thing
thnt terrified her oven moro than had tho
prcsenco of cl adrea. Tho man placed a
foot upon the carcass of his kill, and,
with his handsomo faco raised toward
tho full moon, gavo voice to the most
frightful cry that ever had Emote upon
her ears.
With a little cry of fear sho shrank
away from Ills sho thought that tho fear
ful strain or tho encounter had driven him
mad. As the last note of that fiendish
challenge died out In tho diminishing
echoes of tho distance tho man dropped
his eyes until they rested upon the girl.
Instantly his race was lighted by the
kindly smllo that was ample nssuranco
of his sanity, nnd tho girl breathed freely
once again, smiling In response
"What manner of man are you?" sho
asked. "Tho thing-you havo dono Is un
heard of. Even now I cannot believe that
It Is posslblo for n lono man armed only
with a knife, to havo fought hand-to-hand
with cl ndrca and conquered him, un
scathedto havo conquered him at all.
And that cry It was not human. Why
did you do thnt?"
Tarzan flushed. "It la because I for
get," ho said, "sometimes, that I am a
civilized man. When I kill It must bo
that I nm another creature." He did not
try to explain further, for It always
seemed to him that a woman must look
with loathing upon ono who was yet so
nearly a beast
Together they continued their Journey.
The nun wns an hour high when thoy
camo out into tho desert again beyond
tho mountains Beside a little rivulet they
found tho girl's horses grazing. They had
come this far on their wny home, and
witn tnit cause or their fear no longer
present had stopped to feed.
With Httlo trouble Tarzan nnd the girl
caught them, nnd, mounting, rode out
Into tho desert toward tho douar of Sheik
Kadour-bcn-Snden.

"Jones of Arlc"
In the northwest part of the country
thero was a gwAmp of 160 neres In ex
tent, and though tho land all around was
settled tip by thrifty farmerg the swamp
was still Stttte land. For a store of years
tho question of draining It had come up
at Intervals, nnd It had become the burn-
Ins question In the country, A legisla
ture had granted permission for the work
to be done, but there was tho question
of expense. The farmers who would be
assessed objected and the matter passed
through Beveral phases and was tho
cause of much Ill-feeling and trouble.
There had been two years of peae when
a thunderclap' came.
From farmer to fnrmer the news was
passed thnt a young lawyer In Bcotts
ville had bought the land of tho State
and was going to push things. In othtr
words, a drainage ditch five miles lotig
waa lo bo dug through farms and the
farmers compelled to pay the cost, Tho
news of the uklrmlsh at Lexington didn't
produce greater excitement, -to one
knew tho name of tho lawyer, but he
waa characterized ns a shark, nnd there
wns talk of tar and feathers If he dared
to show hla face in tho locality. No one
was familiar with the drainage laws, but
It wao resolved to oppose them with force,
of arms, If necessary. Meetings were
called at schoo:htuses nnd fiery speeches
mntle, nnd the only thlnn; lacking to
bring on a war was a leader.
Miss Fnnnlo Melton, daughter of the
widow Melton, through whose farm tho
ditch would first pass, arrived home from
a distant school on her summer vacation
ns the excitement had becomo Intense.
For years sho had heard tho question de
bated, and now was Immediately Inter
ested. Her watchword was fight. Her
attitude made an Impression gn two or
threo of the nearest neighbors, nnd when
they had reported It to others Farmer
Gray, old but full of fight, called to talk
the matter over with her.
"Whnt I wanted to ask you Is did you
study law at that school you -went to?"
he naked.
"No, not exactly," wag the reply, "but,
of course, I heard moro or less about
law."
"I see. In this case we'd llko to know
whether tho law Is for us or agin us,
but wo don't want to go to town nnd pay
some lawyer 25 to find out. I was In
hopes you might know, havtn' been to n
school where they charge 1200 a year for
tcachln' nnd boardln',"
"Did tho patriots of 1776 ask about
law?" demanded tho girl, aB her eyes
flashed. "Did they ask about law or get
up nnd do thlngs7"
"By thunder, they did things!"
"Then let us do the same."
"By thunder, wo will I"
"Wo must rally and fight for our rights
-fight until the last man falls I"
"By thunder, we must and Willi"
"Finding us determined, the enemy may
not appear, but If he docs "
"Wo'II bust his suspenders in great
shape! Say, I want you to come over to
school houso No. 2 tomorrow and talk to
us. Wo are goln' to have a big moctln'.
Wasn't there a gal once called Jones of
Ark who led soldiers and did big things?"
"You mean Joan of Arc".
"Yes; Jones of Ark. The schoolmaster

OBITUARIES
Young Master U. S. A. Please, Mr. Bull, may I let Wilhelm get
somo cotton to blow you up with 7
John Bull Oh, do what you like, only don't como bothering.
Can't you seo I'm busy on a great masterpiece ? London Opinion.
English scientists havo told tho Allies that cotton, shipped from America,
Is ono of the chief Ingrcdlcnto In tho high explosives of which Germany
seems to have an Inexhaustible supply. Thero is much agitation in favor
of putting cotton on the contraband list. Tho work nt which John Bull
Is seen Is that of making up a national register of all able-bodied persons,
with details of their posslblo employment It Is estimated that this work
cannot be put to practical use until tho'Tmddle of next year.
About noio many muskets can Jones of
Ark make use oft
was tellln' about her last winter. You
come right along and be our Jones of
Ark. You can talk big words and we
can't. You come and tell us all about
Bunker Hill and all that and get a thrill
goln'."
Tho girl of-19 would have declined any
such leadership had the matter been a
new one and the caso any other. Bhe
was encouraged by her mother to "do
something to scare that pesky lawyer,"
and, after much hesitation, sho appeared
at the meeting. There she was hulled
and Introduced as Jones of Ark, and
Farmer Gray concluded his Introduction
with:
"And by thunder she's the pel to make
the splinters fly!"
"Jones" was embarrassed and frus
trated, but she said enough to bring the
thrill hoped for, and It was decided to
guard that swamp day and night with
shotguns. The first Hessian to stick a
spade into the sacred soil must die, and
it tho lawyer appeared It would be a bad
day for him. Tho county papers pub
lished the news next .day and the fray
was on.
For two weeks the farmers waited for
the enemy to appear, but as nothing hap
pened they went back to their corn and
potato fields. They hod put up a bluff
to scare the lawyer and tho county, and
It had not been called, Jones of Ark
lost her job.
One day, as peace reigned over the
land and tho shotguns had been unloaded
and put away in corners, MIzs Fannie
Melton sat on the shady veranda reading
a book. It had nothing to do with Lex
ington or Bunker Hill or Joan of Arc.
In fact, It was a cavalier story of other
days, and the cavalier rode up to the
gate In a buggy just at tlw proper mo
ment. He wasn't In armor, but In H
business suit His visor wasn't dawn, but
very much up, and Miss Fannie noted
that he was a smart-looking young man
and had a business air about him. He
was also smiling as he opened the gate
and came up the path.
Our traveling; cranes do a
deal of work in our lumber
yard.
They my only have ono
groove but they stick to It.
And thoy deliver tho goods.

"It this is Miss Melton, 1 should llko to
tnlk with you a fow minutes."
"Yes, sir."
"My namo Is Winchester. I am a law
yer over at "
"Why why, you you !"
"Yes, I am tho owner of tho big
swamp,"
f "Then I will call mother."
"Not a bit of need of It I think I can
mako Jones of Ark understand the situ
ation." "They misunderstood nnd got it that
way," she explained with blushes.
"Of course, but It rather pleased me to
have such a leader rlso up. We must not
let patriotism languish in this country.
Wo must bo prepared to offer our lives
any time the country wants them."
Miss Fannie blushed some moro and
half rose from her chair.
"When King George oppressed us," con
tinued the lawyer, "wo arose In our patri
otic wrath and drove his minions into tho
sen. When a lawyer buys a swamp we
must do the same thing. Permit mo to
offer you, as leader of this Just revolu
tion, arms and ammunition. About how
many muskets can Jones of Ark mako
use of?"
His words were cutting, but his smile
pleasant. The girl wns so taken by sur
prise that she sat still.
"And the tar and feathers, you know.
You should figure on a wholo barrel of
tar and at least one feather bed. Shall
I send them out hero in your care?"
"Sir!" almost Bhouted tho gtrl, as she
sprang to her feet
"But I'm a bit sorry for Jones," said
the lawyer, as he shook his head. "The
swamp Is not to be drained, nor have I
had such a plan in view. I givo her all
credit for patriotism, but her efforts havo
been wasted. A part of the swamp Is to
be set aside for a frog farm and tho re
mainder will be a cranberry and huckle
berry ranch. Respects to your mother.
Good day!"
And when Miss Fannie told Fnmer
Gray of it, and added that she should
always hato the sight of tho lawyer, he
shouted out:
"By thunder, but of course you will!"
But she didn't. He not only drained
the swamp at his, own expense, and
thereby gained a valuable farm, but he
called at tho Merlon farm so often that
the gossips said thero must be something
doing, and no one was surprised when
the engagement was announced not .even
Farmer Gray, who said:
"By thunder, but of course they'll get
married! Ain't everybody in love with
Jones of Ark?"

Pasturing Ono Person
How much land does It take to support
a cow, or a horse, or a hog? Rather Im
portant questions to every one of us, but
not so important as the query:
How much land does it take to sup
port a person?
A recent survey made by the United
(Hates Government In Ohio seems to show
that it costs on the average $197 to board
and house each person on the farm.
That Is, the husband, wife and three
children must have nn income of J3S5 If
they live as well as the overage.
This Is the Income In dollars, and the
examination on H farms Indicates that
It takes i0 acres to "pasture" a person.
