two TUiMlan spies, nokoft end Paulvltch,
h fermsf twlng- brother of the Countess
Tartan Joins the Foreign Office of ths
French CJovernnwnt and Is sent to Africa,
to watch a ertaln Lieutenant Oernols,
During an attempt upon his life Tarian
saves an Arab Rlrl. restores her to her
father and travels with the latter into the
desert, following Oernols. The latter la fre
quently met by sueplclous persons, and
Tartan has reasons for believing that those
Jfha seek his Ufa are friends of Oernols.
In the desert Tarian Is left behind, fights
and kills an enormous lion, and Is then
shot from ambush. He Is captured and
taken Into an Arab village.
, Itnkorr. illsirulscd as An Arab, comes to
taunt him. and threatens death on ths
morrow. But that night the girl whom
Tarzart hss saved, whom ho knows as ths
Ouled-Nall of Sl'il Alsaa, sets him free.
Together they leave the village and In
the desert pistes meet a lion. Tartan
kills the lion and, after they recover their
hemes, the two set oft for tho girl's father's
home. ,,
CHAPTER Xl-(Contlmied).
NO SIGN of pursuit developed nnd they
came In safety about 9 o'clock to
their destination. Tho sheik had but just
returned. Ho was frantic with grief at
tho absenco of his daughter, whom ho
thought had been again abducted by the
marauders. With CO men, ho was already
mounted to go In search of her when the
two rode Into tho dollar.
Ills joy at tho safe return of his daugh
ter was only equaled by his gratltudo to
Tnrzan for bringing her safely to him
through tho dnngers of the night, and his
thankfulness that she had been In tlmo
to save the man who had once saved her.
No honor that KadoUr-bcn-Saden could
heap upon tho ape-man In acknowledg
ment of his esteem and friendship was
neglected. When tho girl had recited tho
story of tho slaying of el adrea Tarzan
was surrounded by a mob of worshiping
Arabs It was n sure road to their ad
miration and respect.
The old sheik Insisted that Tarzan re
main Indefinitely as his guest. Ho oven
wished to adopt him as a member of tho
tribe, and thero was for somo tlmo a
half-formed resolution In tho ape-irian's
mind to accept nnd remain forover with
theso wild people, whom he understood
and who seemed to understand him. His
friendship and liking for tho girl were
potent factors In urging him toward an
affirmative decision.
Had she been a man, hi argued, ho
should not havo hesitated, for It would
have meant a. friend after his own heart,
with whom ho could ride and hunt at
will; but as It was thoy would be hedged
by tho conventionalities that are even
more strictly observed by tho wild nomads
of the desert than by their more civilized
brothers and sisters. And in a llttlo
whllo she would be married to one of
these Bwarthy warriors, nnd thero would
bo an end to their friendship, So he de
cided against tho sheik's proposal, though
he remained a week ns his guest.
IB I1SW When he left, Kadour-ben-Baden snd
W iJn W white-robed warriors rode with him to
ou oaaaa. wnue iney were mounting
In tho douar of Kadour-ben-Saden tho
morning of their departure, the girl enmo
to bid farewell to Tarzan.
"t have prayed that you would remain
with us," she said simply, as he leaned
from his saddle to clasp her. hand In
farewell, "and now I shall pray that you
will return." .
Thero was an expression of wIstfulneBS
In her beautiful eyes, and a pathetic
droop at tho corners of her mouth. Tar
zan was touched.
"Who knows?" and then ho turned and
rode after the departing Arabs.
Outslda Sou Saada lie bade Kadour-ccn-Snden
and his men good-by, for
thero Wero .reasons which made htm wish
to make his entry Into the town as secret
as possible, and when he had explained
them to the sheik tho latter concurred In
his decision, The Arabs wero to enter
Bou Saada ahead of him, saying nothing
aa to his pre&enco with them. Later Tar
zan would come in alone, and go di
rectly to an obscure native Inn.
Thus, making his entrance after dark,
as he did, he was not seen by any one
Who knew him, and reached the Inn un
observed. After dining with Kadour-ben-Baden
as his guest, ho went to his former
hotel by a roundabout way, and, coming
in by a rear entrance, sought the pro
prietor, who seemed much surprised to
see him alive.
Yes, there was mall for monsieur: he
would fetch It. No, he would mention
monsieur's return to no one. Presently
he returned with a packet of letters. One
was an order from his superior to lay
off on his present work, and hasten to
Capo Town by the first steamer he could
get. His further Instructions would be
awaiting him there In the hands of an
other agent whoso name and address wero
given. That was all brief but explicit.
Tarzan arranged to leave Bou Saada
early next morning. Then he started for
the garrison to see Captain Gerard, whom
the hotel man had told him had returned
with his detachment tho previous day.
He found the officer In - his quarters.
He was filled with surprise and pleasure
at seeing Tarzan alive and well.
"When Lieutenant Gernols returned
' and reported that he had not found you
at the spot that you had chosen to re
main wnlle tho detachment was scouting,
I wan filled with alarm. We searched the
mountains for days. Then came word
that you had been killed and eaten by a
lion. As proof your gun was brought to
us. Your horse had returned to camp
the second day after your disappearance.
We could not doubt Lieutenant Oernols
was grief-stricken he took all tho blame
upon himself. It was herwho Insisted on
carrying on the search himself. It was
he who foilnd the Arab with your gun.
He will be delighted to know that you
are safe."
"Doubtless," said Tarzan, with a grim
mile.
"He Is down in tho town now, or I
should send for htm," continued Captain
Gerard. "I shall tell him as soon as he
returns."
Tarzan let the officer think that he had
been Ioat, wandering finally Into the
douar of Kaoour-ben-Saden, who had es
corted him back .to Bou Saada. ' As soon
as pesMtble be bade the.good'oftlcor adieu,
and hastened back into town. At the
native inn he had learned, through Ka-dour-bea-Saden,
a piece of Interesting In
formation. It told of a blaok-bearded
white man who went always disguised
ib an Arab. For a time he had nursed
a. .broken, wrist Most recently be had
been away from Bou Saada, but now ho
was back, and Tarzan knew bis place of
concealment. It wss for there he headed.
Through narrow, stinking alleys, black
as Srebua, he groped and then up a
rickety stairway, at the end of wbloh
was a elosad door and a tiny, unglazed
window. The window was high under
the low eaves of the mud building. Tar
san could Jus reach the sill. lie raised
lumaelf slowly until his eyes topped it.
Ttte room within was lighted, and at a
tuble sat Rokoff and Gemots, Gwaols
' speaking.
'Bokoff, you are a dvtl!" be was say
ing. "You have hounds nw until I have

AUTHOR OF "TAItZAN OF THE APES"
and you have my word of honor that I
(hall never ask another cent from you,
or further Information."
. "And a good reason why," growled
uernols. "What vou risk will take mv
last cent, and the only valuable military
secret I hold. You ought to be paying
me for the Information Instead ot taking
both It nnd money, loo."
"I am paying you by keeping a still
tongue In my head," retorted ItokofT. "But
let's havo done. Will you, or will you
not? I give you three minutes to decide.
If you are not agreeable I shall send a
notq to your commandant tonight that
will end In the degradation that Dreyfus
suffered the only difference being that he
did not deserve It"
For a moment Gernols sat with bowed
head. At length he arose. He drew two
pieces of paper from his blouse,
"Here," he said hopelessly. "I had them
ready,. for I know that there could bo but
one outcome." Ho held them toward the
Itusslan.
Itokoira cruel faco lighted In malignant
gloating. He seized the bits of paper.
"You have done well, tlernols," ho said.
"1 rhnll not trouble you igatn Unless you
happen to accumulate somo moro money
or Information," nnd ho grinned.
"You never shall again, you dogl"
hissed Gernols. "The next tlmo I shall
kill you, I camo near doing It tonight.
For an hour I sat with these two pieces
or paper on my tablo before me cro I
came here beside them lay my loaded
revolver. I was trying to decide which
1 should bring, Next tlmo the choices shall
bo easier, for I already have decided. You
had a close call tonight, Bokoff; do not
tempt fato a second time."
Then Gernols rose to leave. Tarzan
barely had tlmo to drop to the landing and
shrink back Into tho shadows on tho far
sldo of the door. Even then ho scarcely
hoped to eludo detection. The landing
was very small, and though ho flattoned
himself against tho wall at Its far edge
he was Bcarcoly more than a foot from
tho doorway. Almost Immediately It
opend, and Gernols stepped out Bokoff
was behind him. Neither spoke. Gernols
had taken perhaps threo steps down the
stairway when ho halted nnd half turned
as though to retrace his steps.
Tarzan knew that discovery would be
Inevitable. Bokoff still stood on the thres
hold a foot from him, but he was looking
In tho opposite direction, toward Gernols.
Then tho officer evidently reconsidered his
decision, and resumed his downward
course. Tarzan could hear Bokoff's sigh
of relief. A moment later the Busstan
went back Into the room and closed tho
door.
Tarzan waited until Gernols bad had
time to get well out of hearing, then he
pushed open the door and stepped into the
room. He was on top of Bokoff before the
man could rise from tho chair where he
sat scanning the paper Gernols had given
him. Ab his .eyes turned and fell upon
the ape-man's face his own went livid.
"Youl" he gasped.
"I," replied Tarzan.
"What do you want7" whispered Bo
koff, for the look in the ape-man's eyes
frightened him. "Havo you come to kill
me? You do not dare. They would guil
lotine you. You do not dare kill me."
"I dare kill you, Bokoff," replied Tar
zan, "for no ono knows that you aro here
or that I am here, and Paulvltch would
tell them that It was Gernols. I heard
you tell Gernols so. But that would not
Influence me, Bokoff. I would not care
who knew that I had killed you; the
pleasure of killing- you would more than
compensate for any punishment they
might Inflict upon me. You are the most
despicable cur of a coward, Bokoff, I
have evpr heard of. You should bo killed.
I should love to kill you," and Tarzan
approached closer to the man.-
Bokoff's nerves wero keyed to the
breaking point. With a shriek he sprang
toward an adjoining room, biit the ape
man was upon his back while his leap
was yet but half completed. Iron fin
gers sought his throat the great coward
squealed like a stuck pig, until Tarzan
had shut oft his wind. Then the ape
man dragged him to his feet, stilt chok
ing him. The Russian struggled futllely
he was like a babe In the mighty grasp
of Tarzan of the Apes.
Tarzan sat him In a chair, and long
before there was danger of the man's
dying he released his hold upon his
throat When the -Russian's coughing
spell had abated Tarzan spoke to htm
again.
"I have given you a taste of the suf
fering of death," he said. -"But I shall
not kill this time, I nm sparing you
solely for the sake of a very good woman
whose great misfortune It was to have
been born of the same woman who gave
birth to you. But I shall spare you only
this once on her account. Should I ever
learn that you have again annoyed her
or her husband should you ever annoy
me again should I hear that you have
returned to n ranee or to any French pos
session, I shall make It my sole business
to hunt you down and complete the chok
ing I comenced tonight." Then he
turned to the table, on which the ' two
pieces of paper still lay. As he picked
them up Bokoff gasped In horror.
Tarzan examined both the check and
the other. He was amazed at the Infor
mation the latter contained. Bokoff had
partially read It. but Tarzan knew that
no one could remember the salient faots
and figures It held which made It of real
value to an enemy of France.
"These will Interest the chief of staff."
he said, as he slipped them into his
pocket
Bokoff groaned, He did not dare curse
aloud.
The. next morning Tarzan Tode north
on his way to Boulra and Algiers. As
ho had ridden past the hotel Lieutenant
Gernols was standing on the veranda.
As his eyes discovered Tarzan he went
white as chalk. The ape-man would have
been glad had tho meeting not occurred,
but he could not avoid It. Ho saluted
the ofneer aa he rode past. Mechanlcaly
Gernols returned the salute, but those
terrible, wide eyes followed the horse
man, expressionless except tor horror.
It was as though a dead man looked upon
a ghost.
At Sldl Alssa Tarzan met a French
officer with whom he had become ac
qualnted on the occasion of his recent
sojourn in the tpwn.
"You left Bou Saada early?" que,
tloned the officer. "Then you have not
heard about poor Gernols,"
"Ho was the last man I saw as I
rode away," replied Tarzan. "What
about hlra?"
"He Is dead. He shot himself abouH
S o'clock this morning."
Two days later Tarzan reaehed Al
giers. There, he found that he would
have a two days' wait before he eould
catch a ship bound for Cape Town, lie
oeoupltd his time In writing out a full
report of his mission. The seret papers
he had taken from Bokoff he did not In
close, for he did not dare trust them out
of bis own possession until he had bn
authorized to turn )hen over to another
agent, or himself returned to Paris with
them.
Aa Tarsan boarded his ship after what
seemed a most tedious watt to him, two
men watched him from an upper deck.
Both were faahIooabldrssed and smooth
shJ-vaij The taller of the two had aaftdy
hair, but bis eyebrows wero very btaek.
Later in tho day thy chanced' to meet

really becoming so civilized that presently
I shall develop a set of nerves. He would
give them to me If any one could, for
he does not right fair. One never knows
through what new agency he Is going
to strike. It Is as though Numit, the
lion, had Induced Tantpr, the elephant,
nnd Hlstah, the snake, to Join him 'in at

have known what minute, or by whom,
I was to be attacked next. But the

Miss Strong I Where had he heard the
name before? It was very fomllian And
then tho girl's mother gave him the
clue, for when sho addressed her daugh

Hazel Strongt What memories the name
Inspired. It had been a letter to' this girl,
penned by tho fair hand of Jnno Porter,
that had carried him tho first message
from tho woman ho loved. How vividly
he recalled the night ho had stolen It from
the desk In the iabln of his long-dead
father, where Jane Porter had sat writing
It lato Into tho night while he crouched
In the darkness without. How terror
stricken she would havo been that night
had sho known that tho wild Junglo beaBt
sqatted outsldo her window, watching
her every move.
And this was Hazel Strong Jane

IET us go back a few months to the
J little, wind-swept platform of a rail
way station In northern Wisconsin. The
smoko of forest fires hangs low over the
surrounding landscape, Its acrid fumes
smarting tho eyes of a little party of six
who stand watting the coming of the
train ahat Is to bear them away toward
tho south.
Professor Archimedes Q. Porter, his
hands" clasped' beneath tho tails of his
long coat, paces" back and forth under the
over-watchful eyo of hla faithful secre
tary, Mr. Samuel T. Philander. Twice
within tho past few minutes he has
started absent-mindedly across tho tracks
In tho direction of a nearby swamp, only
to bo rescued nnd dragged back by the
tireless Mr. Philander.
Jano Porter, the professor's daughter,
Is In strained and lifeless conversation
with William Cecil Clayton nnd Tarzan
of tho Apes. Within tho little waiting
room, but a bare moment before, a con
cession of love nnd a renunciation had
taken place that had blighted tho lives
and happiness of two of tho party, but
William Cecil Clayton, Lord Greystoke,
was not one of them.
Behind Miss Porter hovered the motheriy
Esmcrnlda. She, too, was happy, for was
she not returning to her beloved Mary-
nina? Already she could una dimly
through the fog of smolto the tnurky
headlight of the Incoming engine. Tho
men began to gather up the hand bag
gage. Suddenly Clayton exclaimed:
"By Jove! I've left my ulster In the
waiting room," and he hastened off to
fetch It
"Good-bye, Jane," said Tnrzan, extend
ing his hand. "God bleBS you!"
"Good-bye." replied tho girl faintly.
"Try to forget me no, not that I could
not bear to think that you had forgotten
me."

Police Court Chronicles
To travel at the rate of a mile a min
ute, or even faster, is the ambition ot
George Gager. For many years he was a
bareback rider in numerous circuses. He
fell many times, but admits that he was
thrown by rurn mor often than by the
horses. In those days George was billed
as "The Speed King," for he used to jump
from a horse's back to a whizzing motor
cycle, which was ridden abreast of the
flying steed.
He is still full of speed and declares
that he can go faster now than ever be
fore, athough time has grayed his skimpy
locks. To prove that he lis still "The
Speed King." Gager Jumped a number of
automobiles while thoy were in motion to
day, in the neighborhood of 2d street
and Glrard avenue. Sometimes he alighted
In the front seat, and often in the rear,
and before the astonished occupants could
realize what had happened he was aft
again, quick aa a wink
In some cases be rode a block, arguing
with the chauffeur, until he saw an op
portune moment to make a flying exit.
Word of bis daring feats soon circulated
and brought an enthusiastic audienc. in

just as George took a Uyiag leap at a
four-seated machine. The bai-baek auto

The Daily Story
Her Domestic Tyrant
Borne folks wondered at the marrlago
between Blephen Roberts and Clara Colby,
and others admitted that 'it might bo a
good thing. Some folks wondered be
cause Stephen was an old bachelor nnd
set in his ways, while the yoUng lady
was known to be rather nighty and flirt.
Some apprbved, because they thought an
old bachelor was Just the husband to
make a frivolous wife settle down.
There was one thing .Miss Clara bragged
of as a girl, and that was that nobody
could manage her. Whatever she wanted
to do she would do. Her marriage wftsjt't
going to make a bit of difference about
that She said so to Stephen. His an
swer is not recorded, but whatever It waa
he probably did some thinking, and per
haps he made up his mind to pursue a.
certain policy.
It was weeks after the wedding before
thero was a lash. Tho husband made a
suggestion now and then. Instead of com
manding or nagging. While they were
only suggestions, the young wlfa found
herself following them without opposi
tion, and this plensant state of affairs
might have continued but for an oven
moro frivolous wife who dropped in one
afternoon to say:
"Clara Roberts, do you now that all
the folks are talking about the'way you've
been humbled since your marriage?"
"What I humbled!" was the exclama
tion. "Yes. Everybody notices It. You used
to have a mind of your own, but now
you are as humble as a cat. We all say
It's a shamo ton your husband to lay
the law down, to you as ho does."
'But ho doesn t. Ho has never tried to
boss me one single time."
"You used to bo out every afternoon."
"He Just thought It was a llttlo too
much."
"You haven't been to the club In four
weeks."
"Stephen said he'd rather -stay homo."
"You didn't ride out all last week."
"But wo haven't a carriage of our own,
you know, and the hired ones are very
expensive."
"Just so. Everybody said Stephen Rob
erts would put an end to your extrava
gances. Oh, he's bossing you, all right!"
When the visitor hnd departed Mrs.
Roberts sat. dewn and reviewed tho sit
uation. Was her husband bossing her?
Was ho humbling her to tho dust? Was
he Insidiously curtailing her privileges?
Nol Yes! Coma to think of It, ho was
actually playing the Domestic tyrant and
wearing a mask while doing It. Other
folks hnd noticed It right along, but she
had been foolish and blind. Sho had
given up this and given up that, and
now peoplo were calling her a humble
cat!
And did that domestic tyrant of a
Stephen ..Roberts think nny more of her
for her sacrifices, as aho named them?
Not a bit. Ho would simply go on de
manding more. He had asked her to give
up hired carriages, but had he given, up
cigars? He had asked her to eliminate
her club", but wasn't ho riding the goat
at his Masonic lodge one night a week?
Mrs.. Clara Roberts had three hours to
think things over before her husband
came up to dinner. That was plenty of
time to arouse her obstinacy, and when
he entered tho house she was ready for

eyes. There was a red spot on either
cheek. Sho waited five minutes for him.
to ask what the matter was, and as he
didn't do It she boldly declared:
"Stephen, I want to ride out every
afternoon next week!"
"You know what my salary is at the
bank," he replied.
"And I ahall go to tho club!"
"I-hope riot"
"And I want a new suit at Once!"
"Yes?';
"I didn't marry "you" to be ground
down!"
"No?"
"Mother said I could come 'home-to her
uny time."
"Yea7"
"And If things don't change at once I'll
go! I want It decided high here and now."
"60 do I!" -r k'
Mrs. Roberts lett the tablo and went
over to the east window. She changed
to the west one. Then she sat down.
Then she stood up again. Mr. Roberts
refused to be drawn Into an argument to
spoil his appetite. He refused to say
what he would do. and.lt was for her-to,
give In or carry out her threats. Give
In? Neverl She walked upstairs and be
