Tarzan bade Jane goortby In America.
CHAPTER XH-(Contlnued).
"rpHERB Is no danger of that, dear,"
JL he answered. "I wlah to heaven that I
might forget. It would be so much easier
to go through life always remembering
what might have been. You will bo happy,
though; I am sure you shall you must
be You may tell tho others of my decis
ion to drive my car on to New YorkI
don't feel equal to bidding Clayton good
bye. I want always to remember htm
kindly, but I fear that I am too much of
a wild beast yet to bo trusted too long
with tho man who standa between mo and
the one person In tho world I want."
As Clayton stooped to pick up his coat
In the waiting room his eyes fell on a
telegraph blank lying face down upon tho
floor. Ho stooped to pick It up, thinking
It might be a message of Importance
which some one had dropped. Ho glanced
at It hastily, and then suddenly ho forgot
his coat, the approaching train every
thing but that terrible little pleco of yel
low paper In his hand. Ho read It twice
before he could fully grasp the terrific
weight of meaning that It bore to him.
When ho had picked It up he had been
an English nobleman, the proud and
wealthy possessor of vast estates a mo
ment later he had read It, and ho knew
that he was an untitled and penniless
beggar. It was D'Arnot's cablegram to
Tarzan, and It read:
Finger prints prove you Greystoke.
Congratulations. D'AItNOT.
He staggered as though ho had received
a mortal blow. Just then he heard the
others calling to him to hurry the train
was commlng to a stop at the ltttlo plat
form Like a man dazed he gathered up
his ulster. He would tell them about tho
cablegram when they were all on board
the train. Then ho ran out upon the
platform Just as the engine whistled
twice In the final warning that precedes
the first rumbling Jerk of tho coupling
pins. The others were on board, leaning
out from the platform of a Pullman, cry
ing to him to hurry. Quite Ave minutes
elapsed before they were settled in their
seats, nor was It until then that Clayton
discovered that Tarzan was not with
them
"Where Is Tarzan7" ho 'asked Jane
Porter. In another car?"
"So," she replied; "at the last minute
he determined to drive his machine bock
to New York. He Is anxious to see more
of America than Is possible from a car
window. He Is returning to France, you
know."
Clayton did not reply. He was trying
to find the right words to explain to Jane
Porter the calamity that had befallen
htm and her. He wondered Just what the
effect of this knowledge would be on her.
Would she still wish to marry him to
be plain Mrs. Clayton? Suddenly the aw
ful sacrifice which one of them must
makd. loomed large before his Imagination.
Then came the question: Will Tarzan
claim his own? The ape-man had known
the contents of the' message before he
calmly" denied knowledge of his parentage.
He had admitted that Knlo, the ape, was
his mother! Could It have been for the
love of Jane Porter?
There waa no other explanation which
seemed reasonable. Then, having ignored
the, evidence of the message, waa it
not reasonable to assume that he meant
never to claim his birthright? If this
were so, what right had ho, William Cecil
Clayton, to thwart the wishes, to balk
the self-sacrifice of this strange man? J
If Tarzan of the Apes could do this thing
to save Jane Porter from unhapplness,
why should he, to whose care she was In
trusting her whole future, do aught' to
Jeopardize her Interests?
And so he reasoned until the first gener
ous Impulse to proclaim the truth and
relinquish hla titles and his estates to their
rightful owner was forgotten beneath the
mass of sophistries which self-interest
had advanced. But during the balance
of the trip, and for many days there
after, he was moody and distraught. Oc
casionally the thought obtruded Itself
that possibly at some later day Tarzan
would regret his magnanimity, and claim
his rights.
Several days after they reached Bal
timore Clayton broached the subject of
An early marriage to Jane.
"What do you mean by early?" aha ask
ed. "Within the next few days. I must
return, to England at once I want you to
return with me, dear."
"I can't get ready so soon as that."
replied Jane. It will take a whole month,
at least "
She waa glad, for she hoped that what
ever called him to England might still
further delay the wedding. She had made
a bad bargain, but she Intende4 carrying
her Hart loyally to the bitter endif Bhe
could manage to secure a temporary re
prieve, though she felt that she was war
ranted In doing so. Hla reply disconcert
ed her
"Very well, Jane," he said. "I am dis
appointed, but I shall let my trip to Eng
land wait a month; then we can go back
together."
But when the month waa drawing to a
cosa she found still another excuse upon
whtoh to hang a postponement, until at
last, discouraged and doubting, Clayton
was forced to go back to England alone-
The several letters that passed be
tween them brought Clayton no nearer to
a consummation of his hopes than he had
been before, and so It was that he wrote
directly to Professor Porter, and enlisted
his ssrvlces. The old man had always
favored the match He liked Clayton,
and ,tnong of an old Southern family, be
put rather an exaggerated valuo on the
advantages of a title, which insaHt Utile

Clayton urged that the professor accept

an Invitation which included the profss

consume a year at least, for they were to
slop for Indefinite periods at various
points of Interest, Clayton mentally
nnnthematlzed Tennlngton for ever sug
gesting such a ridiculous trip.
It was Lord Tcnhlngton's plan to cruise
through the Mediterranean and the Hed
Sea to the Indian Ocean, and thus down
the East Const, putting in nt every port
that was worth the seeing.
And so It happened Ihat on a certain
any two vessels passed In the Strait of
Gibraltar The smaller, a trim while
yacht, was speeding toward the east, and
on her deck eat a young woman who
pa7td with sad ryes upon a dlamohd-stud-ded
locket which sho Idly fingered. Her
thoughts were far away. In the dim, leafy
fnstnesi of a tropical Jungle and her
heart was with her thoughts.
Hhe wondered If the man who had given
her the beautiful bauble, that had meant
so much more to him thnn the tho intrin
sic value which he had not even known
could ever hnve meant to him. was back
In his Bavage forest.
And upon the deck of the larger vessel,
a passenger steamer passing toward the
cast, the man sat with another young
woman, and tho two Idly speculated upon
tho Identity of the dainty craft gliding so
gracefully through the gentle swell of the
lazy sen.
When the yacht had passed tho man re
sumed the conversation that her appear-
nnco had broken off,
"Yes," ho said. "I like America very
mush, and thnl mrans, of course, that I
like Americans, for a. country Is only
wlml Its Dtonle make It, I met some very
dcllshttul pcoplo whllo I was there. I,
rccan ono iamuy virom your own city,
Miss Stronr, wlom I liked particularly
Professor Porter and his daughter."
"Jano Porter!" exclaimed tho girl. "Do
you mean to tell me that you know Jane
Porter? Why she Is the very best friend
I have In the world, Wo wero llttlo chil
dren together we have known each other
for ages."
"Indeed!" ho answered, smiling. "You
would have difficulty In persuading any
one of the fact who had seen either of
you."
"I'll qualify tho statement, then," sho
answered, with a laugh. "Wo have known
each othor for two ages hers and mine.
But seriously we are as dear to each
other as sisters, and now that I am going
to lose her I am almost heartbroken."
"Going to loso her?" exclaimed Tarzan.
"Why, what do you mean? Oh, yes, I
understand. You mean that now that she
Is married and living In England, you
will seldom If ever see her."
"YeB," replied she; "and the saddest
part of it all Is that she Is not marrying
tho man she loves. Oh, it is terrible.
Marrying from a sense of duty! I think
it Is perfectly wicked, and I told her so:
I have felt so strongly on the subject
that, although I was tho only person out
Bide of blood relations who was to have
been asked to the wedding, I would not
let her Invite me, for I should not have
gone to witness the terrible mockery. But
Jnno Porter Is peculiarly positive. She
has convinced herself that sho Is doing
the only honorable thing that Bho can do,
and nothing- In the world will ever pre
vent her from marrying Lord Greystoke
except Greystoko himself, or death."
"I am sorry for her," said Tarzan.
"And I nm sorry for the man she loves,"
said tho girl, "for he loves her. I never
met him, but from what Jane tells me
he must bo a very wonderful person. It
seems that he was born in an African
Jungle, and brought up by fierce, anthro
poid apes He had never seen a white
man or woman until Professor Porter and
his party were marooned on the coast
right at the threshold of his tiny cabin.
He saved them from all manner of terri
ble beasts, and accomplished the most
wonderful feats imaginable, and then to
cap the climax he fell In love with Jane
and she with him, though Bhe never really
knew It for sure until she had promised
herself to Lord Greystoke."
"Most remarkable," murmured Tarzan,
cudgeling his brain for some pretext upon
which to turn the subject. Ho delighted
In hearing Hazel Strong talk of Jane, but
when he was the subject of the conversa
tion he was bored and embarrassed. But
he was soon given a respite, for the girl's
mother Joined them, and the talk became
general.
The next few days passed uneventfully.
The sea was quiet. The sky was clear.
The steamer plowed steadily on toward
tho south without pause. Tarzan spent
quite a little time with Miss Strong and
her mother. They whlled away their
hours on deck reading, talking, or taking
pictures with Miss Strong's camera.
When the sun had set they watked.
One day Tarzan found Miss Strong in
conversation with a stranger, a man he
had not Been on board before. Aa 'he ap
proached the couple the man bowed to
tho girl and turned to walk away,
"Walt, Monsieur Thuran." said Miss
Strong; "you must meet Mr, Caldwell.
We are all fellow passengers, and should
be acquainted."
The two men shook hands. As Tarzan
lcoked Into the eyes of Monsieur Thuran
ha was struck by the strange familiarity
of their expression.
"I have had the honor of monsieur's
acquaintance In the past, I am sure," said
Tarzan, "though I cannot recall the cir
cumstances," Monsieur Thuran appeared 111 at ease.
"I cannot say, monsieur," he replied.
"It may bo so, I have had that Identical
sensation myself when meeting a
stranger."
"Monsieur Thuran has been explaining
some of the mysteries of navigation to
me." explained the girl.
Tarzan paid little heed to the conver
sation that ensued he was attempting to
recall where he had met Monsieur Thu
ran before. That It had been under pe
culiar circumstances he was positive.
Presently the sun reached them, and the
girl asked Monsieur Thuran to move her
chair farther back into the shade. Tar
zan happened to be watching the man
at the time, and noticed the awkward
manner in which he handled the chair
his left wrist waa stiff. That clue was
eulllelent a sudden train of associated
Ideas did the rest.
Monsieur Thuran had been trylmj to
find an excuse to make a graceful de
parture. The lull in tho conversation
following the moving -of their position
gave him an opportunity to make his ex
cures Bowing: low to Mlsa Strong, and
Inclining his head to Tarzan, he turned to
leave them.
"Just a. minute." said Tarzan. "If Mlsa
Strong will pardon me I will aeeompany
you I shall return In a moment. Miss
Strong."
Monsieur Thuran looked uncomfortable.
When the two nien had passed out of the
girl's sight, Tarzan stopped, laying a
heavy hand on the other's shoulder.
"What Is your game now, Rokoff ?" ha
asked.
"I am leaving France, as I promised
you," replied the other, in a surly voioe,
"I see you are," said Tarzan; "but X
know you so well that I can scarcely
believe that your being on the same boat
with me 1 purely a coincidence. It, I
eoald believe It the fact that you are
In disguise weuld Immediately disabuse
my mind of any such idea."
"Well." growled Rokoff, with a shrug,
"I cannot see. what you are going to do
about It Ttya vessel flies the Bngllth
fits I have m nueh right on board her
as you, and from lb (act that you are
booked under aa aseWDved name I t
agiou that I have mere right."
"We will not discuss It, RokeH, Ail I
wanted to say to you is that you Hiuet
kap away from Miss Strong she J a
decent woman."
Hokoet turned scarlet

with Paulvltch he fumed and swore,
threatening the most terrible of revenges.
"I would throw him overboard tonight,"
he ctled, "were I sure those papers aro
not on his person. 1 cannot chance pitch
ing them Into the ocean with him. -If you
wero not such a stupid coward, Alexis,
you would find a way to enter his state
room and search for the documents."
Pnulvlteh smiled, "You are supposed to
bo the brains of this partnership, my dear
Nikolas," he replied. "Why do you not
find the means to search Monsieur Cald
well's stateroom eh?"
Tno hours later fate wan Wnd to them,
for Paulvltch, who was ever on the
watch, saw Tarzan leave his room with
out locking the door. Five minutes later
Rokoft was stationed where ho could glvo
the alarm In case Tarzan returned, and
Paulvltch was deftly searching the con
tents of the ape-man's luggage.
He waa about to give up In despair
when ho saw a coat which Tarzan had
Just removed. A moment later he grasped
an olllclal envelope in his hand A quick
glance at its contents brought a broad
smile to' the Russian's face.
When he left the stateroom Tarzan him
self could not havo told that an article In
It had been touched since ho left It Paul
vltch was a master in his chosen field.
When he handed tho packet to Rokoff
in the seclusion of their stateroom the
larger man rang for n Bteward, and or
dered a pint of champagne,
"We must celebrate, my dear Alexis,"
he said.
"It was luck, Nikolas," explained Paul
vltch. "It Is evident he carries these
papers always upon his persqn Just by
chance ho neglected to transfer them
when he changed his clothes a few min
utes since. But there will bo the deuce to
pay when he discovers his loss. I am
afraid that he will Immediately connect
you with it. Now that he knows that you
aro on board ho will suspect you at once-"
"It will make no difference whom he
suspects-after tonight," said Rokoff, with
a nasty grin.
After Miss Strong had gone below that
night Tarzan stood leaning over.the rail
looking far out to sea. Every night he
had dono this since ho had come on board
somotimea he stood thus for an hfiur.
And the eyes that had been watching hla
every movement since ho had boarded tho
ship at Algiers knew that this was his
habit.
Even as he stood there this night thoso
eyes wero on him. Presently the last
straggler had left tho deck. It was a
clear night, but there was no moon ob.
Jects on deck were barely discernible.
From the shadows of tho cabin two
figures crept stealthily upon the apo-man
from behind. Tho lapping of the waves
against tho ship's sides, the whirring of
the propeller, the throbbing of the en
gines, drowned tho almost soundless ap
proach of tho two.
They were quite close to him now, and
crouching low, like tacklers on a gridiron.
Ono of them raised his hand and lowered
It, as though counting off seconds one
two three! As one man the two leaped
for their victim. Each grasped a leg, and
before Tarzan of the Apes, lightning
though he was, could turn to save himself
he had been pitched over a low rail and
was falling Into tho Atlantic,
Hazel Strong was looking from her
darkened port across the" dark sea.
Suddenly a body shot past her eyes from
the deck above. It dropped so quickly
Into the dark waters below that she could
not be sure of what It was It might have
been a man, she could not say. She list
ened for some outcry from above for the
always-fearsome call, "Man Overboardl"
but It did not come. All was silence on
the ship above all was silence In the sea
below.
The girl decided that sho had but seen a
bundle of refuse thrown overboard by one
of the ship's crow, and a moment later
sought her berth.
CHAPTER XIII.
THC WRECK OF THE LADY ALICE.
T
HE next morning, at breakfast Tar-
zan's place was vacant1. Miss Strong
was mildly curious, for Mr. Caldwell had
always made It a point to wait that he
might breakfast with her and her mother.
Ab Bhe was sitting on the deck later Mon
sieur Thuran paused to exchange a half
dozen pleasant words with her. He
seemed In most excellent spirits his
manner was the extreme of affability. As
he passed on Miss Strong thought what
a very delightful man was Monsieur
Thuran. :
The day dragged heavily. She missed
the quiet companionship of Mr. Caldwell
there had been something about him
that made the girl like him from the first;
he had talked so entertainingly of the
places he had seen the peoples and their
customs the wild beasts; and he had al
ways had a droll way of drawing striking
comparisons between animals and civi
lized men that showed a considerable
knowledge of the former, and a keen,
though somewhat cynical, estimate of
the latter.
When Monsieur Thuran stopped again
to chat with her In the afternoon she wel
comed the break In tho day's monotony.
But she had begun to become seriously
concerned In Mr. Caldwell's absence;
somehow she constantly associated it
with the start she had had the night be
fore, when the dark object fell past her
port Into the sea. Presently sho broached
the subject to Monsieur Thuran. Had he
seen Mr. Caldwell today7 He had not.
Why?
"He was not at breakfast as usual, nor
have I seen him once since yesterday,"
explained the girl.
Monsieur Thuran was extremely solici
tous. "I did not have the pleasure of Intimate
acquaintance with Mr, Caldwell," he said.
"He seemed a most estimable gentleman,
however. Can It be that he la indisposed,
and has remained In his stateroqm? It
would not be strange."
"No," replied the girl, "It would not be
strange, of course; but for some Inex
plicable reason I have one of those foolish
feminine presentiments that all is not
right with Mr. Caldwell. It Is the Strang,
est feeling It Is as though I knew that
he was not on board the ship."
Monsieur Thuran laughed pleasantly.
"Mercy, my dear Miss Strong," he said;
"where in the world could he be then?
We have not been wlthiq eight of land for
days."
"Of course. It Is ridiculous of me," she
admitted. And then: "But I am riot
going to worry about It any longer; I am
going to find out where Mr Caldwell Is,"
and she motioned a passing steward.
"That may be more difficult than you
Imagine, my dear girl." thought Monsieur
Thuran. but aloud he said: "By all
means."
"Find Mr. Caldwell, please," she said
to the steward, "and tell hlra his friends
are worried by his continued absent,"
"You are very fond of Mr- Caldwell?"
suggested Monsieur Thuran.
"I think he Is splendid." replied the girl.
"And. mamma. Is perfectly Infatuated with
htm. He Is the sort of a man Willi wtjom
one has a feeling of perfect security no
one could help but have oonfldeqee in
Mr. Caldwell."

FRANtf B. RUTHERFORD
"You will havo to start at 8 o'clock
overy day and work until you're
through."
This was the Instruction given a boy
who applied for a position at tho office of
the Pennsylvania Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals, 1627
Chestnut street Tho youngster never
flinched. He said he was ready to start
right away.
After ho had hung up his hat and coat
ho saw thero wero lots of things to be
straightened out around the office, and he
waded Into this work without orders.
"I gticss you'll do," said the boss. That
was 26 years ago. Tho boy has been
there ever since. He paid attention to
details, and the boss, who was the late
Martin V, B. Davis, paid attention to
him. That's why Frank B. Rutherford
Is now secretary of tho society and Its
work has increased to such nn extent
that 18 agents and two clorks ore re
quired to keep pace with It. Mr. Ruther
ford was elected secretary of tho society
in 1903 after the death of Mr. Davis.
ON JOB EARLY AND .LATE.
"You will have to work until you're
through " This sentence has been im
bedded in the secretary's mind ever since
he applied for the Job as Office boy, way
bfijt in 1SS9. Long ago he gave up the
Idea of working a certain number of
hours a day. He starts early and works
late. Just as conditions warrant. Tho of
fice is open day and night. Sunday 'in
cluded, and every agent 1 always In
touch with the secretary.
It was largely through the efforts of
Mr. Rutherford that "union" hours were
established for horses. He contended that
no horse should be worked longer than
15 hours In 21 and not more than 90 hours
In any week. Thero now Is an animal
labor law to that effect. Proof that he Is
a friend of animals at heart is shown by
his constant activity to better their con
dition. He was instrumental In obtain
ing the passage of an act which pro
hibits the sale or offering for sale of
horses which cannot be worked because
of physical disability.
ECONOMIC SIDE OF KINDNESS.
In the course of anti-cruelty cam
paigns throughout the State he has
shown the economic side of kindness to
animals. A horse treated well will work
harder, and he contends that a man
should be as diplomatic In the treatment
of his horse as in other things pertain
ing to his business.
The dog which Is down and out and
kicked about from pillar 'to post has a
truo friend In Mr, Rutherford. To arouse
sympathy in the "stray's" behalf, the
secretary started a ''Plain Dog Show,"
It was heldn Horticultural Hall, and
prizes were given (or th? very worst dogs
of all species. Fancy society dogs, which
dwelt amid marble halls and velvet car
pets, were not admitted. Other cities sub
sequently held similar shows,
Some time ago the secretary wrote a
catechism concerning tho disposition of
cruelty cases and a copy was given to
evory policeman in the city. In addition
to explaining first-aid treatment for
suffering horses, the book tells what to do
In cases of cruelty.
Mr. Rutherford also addresses the po
licemen at their training school from
time to time regarding cruelty preven
tion. MUSIC IN THE PARK

The porter smiled pityingly nt Lam
bert's ignorance. "Dlnlh' kyar?" ho
echoed. "Why, boss, 'taln't been a year
since dey put on his hyer parlor kyar

Lambert looked at tho car occupied only

A diner would havo been n, useless lux

Ihey were supposed to do It In five hours.
He went Into the forward cars, crowded
with a miscellaneous assortment of men
and women, but most of them had lunch
baskets that had been emptied soon after

MEEK CHIDES VARES
FOR THEIR AMBITION
Former Democratic State
Chairman Says "Bill's" Fit
ness for Mayor Proven.-
Sympathy for the Vares in their ambi
tion to selzo tho government of Phila
delphia Is expressed by P. Gray Meek,
former Demotrotlc State chairman, In
his newspaper, the Democratic Watch
man. Up In Bellefonte, Pa., where the
paper is published, the sympathetic slate
metn of Mr. Meek caused much comment,
and the consensus of opinion seemed to
bo that he was right.
After reminding tho peoplo that "Ed
nnd "Bill" had managed to draw several
millions of dollars out of tho municipal
treasury and hold ofTlco almost contin
uously for mnny years, the Watchman
dwells upon the statement made by
'Brother Ed," In which he declared that
thorough knowledge of contracts and
contractors was one of the qiialincatlons
for the oHltio of Mayor.
Regarding this announcement of tha
Senator, the Watchman Bays: "That is
candid, to say tho least, nnd possibly it
may be true, also. And In that event
Bill's bank account Is proof of fitness."
In order thnt tho voters may not for
get the progress made by the Vares,
tho Watchman then goea on to say!
"Four years ago the 'vaulting ambi
tion' of the Vares to seize tho govern
metn was revealed when Senator Vare,
which Is Ed, announced that then Reg
ister of Wills and Blnco Congressman
Vare, who Is Bill, would take tio Re
publican nomination for Mayor. In Jus
tification of his claim upon tho party,
brother Ed recalled tho fact that Gov
ernor Tener was elected and the party
saved from overlastlng smash by tho
fraudulent voto cast for the candidates
in South Philadelphia at tho election of
1910"
Police Court Chronicles
A report that there was a spy In their
midst caused the pollco to move cautious
ly In Kensington. They spoke In sup
pressed tones and tried to appear uncon
cerned, which any one will admit Is a
difficult task for a normal cop, That
there was a spy at large was generally
admitted, but, who or what kind oj.a
spy he was no one kfiew definitely. Tho
fact that he was a spy and wandering
around loose was enough,.
The Germans declared ho was an Eng
lish spy nnd the Englishmen said he was
German, and when some of them met In
compromising attitude on the subject they
decided he was a Mexican. Rumors had
reached a rather serious stage when sud
denly the spy himself was discovered. He
was armed with a "disappearing" cam
era, according to reports, and was seen
photographing trolley cars nnd large
buildings. When Policeman McDougall
was put on the trail he brought for.th
brand now deductions. On Beelng he sus
pect photograph trolley cars he concluded
that ho was a spy for the "Jitneyltes" and
figured that the stranger was getting a
lino on the number of trolloys in order
to report to the Jitney generals,
These suspicions became somewhat con
fused when the photographer "snapped"
several large mills. "I see," the cop fig
ured, "he's taking places that'll make
good garages." Aa the spy wore a long
black duster which looked as though It
might have concealed a couple of bombs,
McDougall approached him from the
rear und ordered "hnnds up!" Tho man"
muttered something which sounded like
a Russian curse, and shuffled along some
what mutinously with the cop.
When commanded by Magistrate Scott
to open tho camera, the prisoner did so
reluctantly and disclosed a flat-looking
glass object of brownish hue. It bore the
letters "PURE RYE."
The spy admitted that his name was
George Adolphus Jones and said that he
could prove by the assessors' lists .that
he was an American. "I found the cam
e'ra out in the park," he said, "and I
decided to make some money taking, pic
tures, I was practicing a little when the
cop squelched me." '
"Such ambition should not be. arrested,"
said the Judge. On promising to practice
photography in another district Jones was
discharged.
