- "The others are all more ugly t.han the

Tarzan shuddered at her fate, for even

"But how about myself?1' he aaked
suddenly "Are you going to lead mo

"You ha,Ve been chosen by Tho Flaming

And so ahe led him through winding

Across his legs lay Monsieur Thuran. 3f

a. pitiful little heap In the bottom of the

that she was dead.-
After Infinite labor he released himself
from Thuratv's pinioning body, and with
rrnewed strength crawled toward the girl.
Ho raised her head from the rough boards
of the boat's bottom. Thoro mlghtvbo

He could not quite abandon nil hope, and
so he seised a water-soaked rng and
(squeezed tho precious drops between the
swollen lips of the hideous thing that had
but a few short days before glowed with
the resplendent life of happy youth and
glorious beauty. '
For some time there waa no sign of
returning animation, but nt last his ef
forts were rewarded by a slight tremor
of the half-closed lids. He chafed the
thin hands, and forced a few more drops
of water Into the parched throat. The
girl gpened her eyes, looking up at "him
or a long time before she could recall
her surroundings.
"Water?" she whispered, "Aro we

"Jt Is raining-." he explained. "Wa

"Monsieur Thuran?'" she aaked.' "He
did not kill you. "Is he dead?"

Clayton at length. . '

that-he will kill you when tho water
ha.s given him strength. If ho Is dying,

Clayton hesitated. His honor demanded
that he attempt to revive Thuran. and
there waa the possibility, too, that the

Detween the refreshing Water that he
hafl drunk and the stimulus of rone wed

through the shallow water to the ahoro
with a line mftdo fast to the boat's bow.
This he fastened to n. small tree which
grew at the top of a low bank, for tho
tide was at flood, and he feared that tho
boat might carry them all out to sea
again with the ebb, since It was nulto

existence of Iho englishman nnd hla

Jane Porter's thoughts often reverted to
her other experience on this savage shore.
Ah If tho lnvlnclhlo forest god of that
dead past were but with them now. No

Clayton with wli.it Aim mlzht hnv .

a single msyint confronted hy tho sinister
anu menacing attitude of .Monsieur Thu
ran. Once, when Clayton had gone to
tho little stream for water, and Thurnn
had spoken coarsejy to her, alio voiced
her thoughts.
"It Is well for you, Monsieur Thuran,"
sho said, "that tho poor Monsieur Tarzan
who'waa lost from the ship that brought
you nnd Miss Strong to Capo Town Is not
hero now."
"You knew tho pig?" asked Thuran,
with n.sneer.
, "I knew the man," sho replied, "The
only real man. I think. hn i v.-..,, .,,-.

Thero was something In her tone of
voice that led tho Russian to attribute
to her a deoer feellnc for hls'enemv timn
friendship, und he 'grasped at tho sug
gestion tovbe further revenged, upon the
man whom he supposed dead by be
smirching his memory to tho girl.
"He waa worse than a pig," ho cried.
"Ho waa a poltioon and n coward. To
save himself from the righteoua wrath
of the hUBband of a woman ho had

her. Not succeeding In this, he ran away

Jane Porter laughed. "You do not for

known ,both Monsieur Tarzan and you
could ever believe such an Impossible
tale?"
"Then why did he travel under an as
sumed name?" asked Monsieur Thuran.
"I do not believe you," she cried, but,
nevertheless, the seed of suspicion mas
sown, for sho knew that Hazel Strong

td be a pained voice, but In which the
laugh wpuld fuk.
"I know Ananias," Samuel hastened to
explain. "We had hlni at Sunday school
the afternoon I licked Dicky BHggs for
Ktcnlln' mv white mouse."
- "I regret that you should Identify a J
great moral letson by so immoral nn

necessary,. however, to remind you that
A'hnnlaa was a person In whom the truth
was not, and he was burned up."
"I ain't ntrald," scoffed Samuel. "Peo

"But all liars aro punished with
severity," declared ndtnonston. "I think,
ftnmnel. that vou have departed from tho
straight and narrow path of truth-telling,
t'am going to telephone your sis
ter and see If your statement la fully cor

but flight was unavailing. Time had been
when IMmonstdn had gained hla varBlty
leUer In the sprints, and It was a short
efffse. Triumphantly ha gathored tho
year-old In his arms and hailed a pass
ing cab.
Samuel, perceiving his Intent, began
loudly to bewail his misfortune, and it
wos with a feeling or reuer mat j;amoti
ston thrust tho boy Into tho cab nnd fol
lowed nftcr a hurried command to tho
driver.
Samuel was enjoying tho situation Im
mensely. Ever since ho waa nblo to nnvl-
gato without tho nsslstanco of a nurse,
ho had had a mania for running nwny,
and In mpro recent times ho had added
to thli perversity n fertility of Invention
in tho stories he told to evade return that
was llttlo short of uncanny.
Eilmondson regarded the sinnU hoy
severely.
Now ho was quick to perceive theslu
atton and n scries of Ingenious questions
soon established the fact that Kdmonston
was a strangeanan who had several times
made mlm presents of candy and who
had forced him Into the cab and had tried
to stifle his cries. So -well did tho boy
stick to his story that It .was with diffi
culty that tho police were able to get
him out ot the hands bf the mob, and
It was wljh an esctfrt of several hundred
that he was led through the.street'to the
station, house, tho cab., driver follpwing
to give evidence against the abductor.
He glibly related how he had noticed
tho, small boy. It was unusual to see a
child of his age nlono In the business
section nnd ho had watched with admira
tion the nklll with which the youngster
threaded hls.way through tho stream of
pedestrians. Then he hnd seen the man
accost the boy, tho boy had turned to run
and the man pursued. He,had hailed tho
cab and the driver had responded with
the intention of taking ids fare to tho
police station, But the Hoy's cries had
prevented the execution of this bit of
strategy, and the pollcoVhad como nnd he
demanded1 $25 for damage dono to his cab
In the matter. of scratched varnish.
Sampel contributed his account of the
affair, disclaiming acknowledge of Kd
monston and domandlng that he be taken
to his mother, who lived In a nearby
suburb.' In was only after Kdmonston's
repeatcd,objec4ions that the captain, who
had como out of his office to take charge
of the case, revoked the order for a
patrolman to take tho boy Home and con
sented to telephone Ndtalle Torrey.gMost
of Samuel's runaway had been toward
the outlying preclncta and the police of
the! business district were n,ot aa familiar
with (ho boy's record as the-men In the
more remote Btatlons.
Nettle1 promptly described Samuel and
promised to come down to get him, but
the boy so persistently clung to the dec
laration that he had never seen Kdmon
ston before that the latter wos sent to
a cell to wait the coming of tho girl.
This happened, however, after ha pedi
gree had been entered upon the police
blotter and the reporters had made flash
light photographs with which to enliven
their stories of the capttiro of the contain
of the kidnapping band,
It wos a crowded half hour for Kd
