CONTINUED JllOM SATUIIDAY. ,
I HAD dived early In the afternoon, and
It wti night. Instead of finding myelf
till stripped for swimming, I had njoose
robe, around me, and a coverlet drawn up
to njy hrmplts. Tho couch under me was
by no means of hemlock twigs and skins,
like out bunks at home; but soft nnd rich.
I wondered if I htfd died and gone to
heaven; nnd Just then tho Virgin moved
past my head and stood looking clown at
me. I started to Jump out of a window,
but Telt so little power to move that I
only twitched, nnd pretended to bo asleep
nnd watched her as we sighted game,
with eyes nearly shut. Bho had a poppet
of a. child on one arm that eat up Instead
of leaning ngalnst her shoulder, nnd
looked at me. too. The poppet had a cap
on Its head, and was dressed In lace, and
she wortf a white dress that let her neck
nnd arms out, but covored nor to the
ground.
This was remarknble, tho Indian' women
covered their necks nnd arms, and woro
their petticoats short I could see this
Image breathe which was a marvel, and
the color moving under her white skin.
Her eyes seemed to go1 through you and
search all tho veins, 'sending a shiver of
pleasure down your back.
Now I knew after tho first start that
he was a living girl holding a Hying
baby, and when my father, Thomas Wil
liams, appeared at tho door of tho room.
It was certain I could not be In heaven.
It camo over me In a flash that I myself
was changed. In splto of the bandages
my head was: as clear as If all Its facul
ties were washed and newly arranged. I
could look back Into my life and perceive
things that I had only sensed as a dumb
brute. A nsh thawed out after being
frozen, and reanimated through every
sparkling scale and tremulous fin. could
not have felt Its.resurrectlon more keenly.
My broken head gave me no trouble at
all. , -
A little man. that I did not know was
In the room, shuffled across the floor to
keep my father from entering, Aroiind
the base of his head he had a thin curtain
of holr scarcely reaching his shoulders.
HI nose pointed upward. Its tip was tho
shape of n candle extinguisher. Ho wore
horn spectacles; nnd knee breeches, waist
coat and coat of black like the Ink which
fades to brown In a drying Ink-horn. He
put his hands together and took them
apart uncertainly, and shot out, his Jlp
and .frowned? ns If he had anunlvereat
grud&e nnd dared not vent It, .
He said something Jn a language I did
not understand, and my father made no
answer. Then he began a kind of Anglo
JTench, worse than ttie patois we used
at Bt. Regis when we did not speak Iro
quoIs. r made out the talk between the
two. understanding each without hesita
tion. ' '
"Blr, who .are you?"
"The chief, Thomas Williams," an
swered my father. ' ,
"Portion me, sir; 'but you are unmis
takably an Indian."
"Iroquois chief," said my father. "Mo
hawk." "That being the ease, what authority
havo you for calling yourself Thomas
Williams?" challenged the little man.
"Thomas "Williams fa my name." I
"Impossible; sir! Shenedonk, the Oneida',
does not assume eo much. He lays no
claim to William Jones or John SrriltrryVr
some other honest' British name.!, v
The chief maintained silent dignity.
"Come. sir. :let me 'have your -Indian
name! I can hear It If I cannot re
peat it."
Silently contemptuous my father
turned toward me.
'Stop, sir!" the man in tho horn spec
tacles cried. "What do you want?"
"1 want my boy."
"Your boy? This lad la white."
"My grandmother was white," conde
scended the chief. "A white prisoner from
Deertteld Eunice Williams."
"I see. sir. You get your Williams from
the Yankees. And la this lad's mother
white, too?"
"No. Mohawk."
"Why, man, his body la Ilka milk!
He in no. son of yours."
The eljlef inarched toward rne.
"l-el rjlrn n'oneli If you. try to drng

My father ipoke to -me with sharp

"What do you call him?" the little man
Inquired, ambling beside the cldef.
"KU-Hiar Williams la his name. But In

"How old Is her-

MARY HARTWELL CATHERWOOD
'Doctor' Chantry Jumped
at the chief
In rftge.
"For Ood'a sake, shut up and go about
your business!"
It was llko ono of the little doge In
our camp snapping' at tho patriarch of
thorn all and recoiling from o growl.
My father's hand was on his hunting
knife; but ho grunted and said nothing.
Doctor Chantry himself withdrew from
tho room nnd' left tho Indian In posses
sion. Weak ns I was, I felt my insldes
tfinko with laughter. My very "rat ob
servation of the whimsical being tickled
me with a kind .of foreknowledge of all
his weak frqtfulncss.
My father sdt down on tho floor at the
foot of my couch, where tho wax light
throw his shadow, exaggerating It3 un
movlng profile. I noticed one of the chnlrs
ho disdained ns useless; though when
eating or drinking with white men ho sat
nl tnble' with them. Tho chair I saw
waa ono, that I faintly recognized as fur
niture of some previous experience, sllm
Icgged, gracefully curved and brocaded.
Brocaded was the word. I studied It until
I fell nslcep.
The sun, shining through tho protected
windows. Instead of glaring Into our lodge
door, showed my father sitting In the
same position when I woke, and Skene
donk nt my Bide. I liked the educated
IrciuolB. He was about 10 years my
senior. Ho had been taken to Franco
when a" stripling, and was much bound
to the whites, though living with his own'
tribe. Skenedonk had the mildest brown
eyes I ever saw outside a deer's head.
Ho was a bald Indian with one small
scalp lock. Dut tho Just and perfect domo
to which his close-lying cars wcro at
tached needed no hair to adorn It. You
felt glad that nothing shaded tho benovo
lcnco of his nil-over forehead. By con
trast ho emphasized tho sullenness of my
father; yet when occasion1 had pressed
there never waB a readier hand than
Skcnedonk's to kill.
I tossed tho cover back to spring out
of bed with a whoop. But a woman In
a high cap with ribbons hanging down to
her heels and a dress short enough to
show her shoes stepped Into the room and
made a courtesy. Her face fell ,easlly
into creases when she talked, and gave
you, the feeling that It waa too soft of
flesh. Indeed, her eyea wero cushioned
all around. She spoke' and Skenedonk
answered her In French. The meanln
of every word broko through my mind' as
fire breaks through paper.
"Madame de Ferrler sent mo to In
quire how the young gentleman' Is."
Skenedonk lessened the rlma around his
eyes. My father grunted.
"Did s Madame de Ferrler say 'the
young gentleman'?'' Shenedonk Inquired.
"I was told to Inquire. I am her serv
ant Ernestine," said the woman, her face
creased with the anxiety of responding to
questions.
VTell Madame de Ferrler that the young
gentleman Is much better und will go
home to the lodges today." 1
"She said I was to wuit upon him and
give him his breakfast under the doctor's
direction.'
"Say with thanks to Madame de Ferrlr
that I wait upon him,"
Ernestine again courtested, and made
nay for Doctor Chantry,
"We will bring tho wholesome lancet
again Into play, my lad," said Doctor
Chantry. I -waited In uncertainty with
my feet cm the floor and my hands on
the side 'of tho couch, while he carefully
removed coat and waistcoat and turned
up his sleeves,
"Erncotln'e, bring the basin," he com
manded. My father' may have thought the doctor
was about to Inflict a vicarious puncture
on himself. Skenedonk, with respect fpr
civilized surgery, waited. I did not wait
The operator bared me to the elbow and
showed a piece of plaster already Buck
ing on my arm. The conviction of be
ing outraged In ny person came upon me
mightily, and snatching the wholesome
lancet I turned Its spring upon the doc
tor. Ho yelled. I leaped through the
door like a deer, and ran barefooted, the
loose robe curdling above my knees. I
had beet) the fleetest foot among the In
dian races, and was going to throw the
garment away for the pure Joy of feel
ing the air slide past my naked body,
when I saw the girl and poppet baby
who had looked at me during my llrat
consciousness. They were sitting on a
blanxet under the trees pf De Chaumont'a
park, which deepened Into wilderness.
'Give me my mother's book." I
strangled out of the depths of my throat;
nnd repeated, as if torn by a devil
"'Oive me my mother's book!"
tine blanched so white that her llpa
looked seared, and Instead of disputing
my claim, or inquiring about my mother.
or telling me to begone, he was up on
her feet.
Taking her drees In her finger tips and
settling back almost to the ground In tho
most beautiful obeisance l ever saw, she
sald-

Neither In Iroquois nor in Iroquola
Freneh had such a name been given to
rne before. I had a long title signifying
Tree-Cutter, whleh belonged to every

'Slre!" and her deep reverence seemed
to atone In some way for what I had
tost I sat up, quieting myself, still
mated as water 'henvea. She put the
wlfal en the lap of my single garment,
and dNw ba'SV a step, formally standing.
My cea,rrd ankle, at wMeh the Indian

not without some knowledge. The chim
neys nnd roofs of Lo Rny de Chaumont 8
manor often looked at me through troes
as I steered my boat nmong tho Islands.
Ho was a great lahd owner, having moro
than 300.000 acres of wlldorncss. And ho
wns friendly with both Indians nnd Amer
icans, Ills figure did not medn much to
mo when I saw It, being merely a typo
of wealth, and' wealth extends Uttlo
power Into tho wilderness.
Tho poppet of a child climbed up and
held to the glrl'B dross. 8ho stooped over
and kissed It. saying, "Sit down, Paul.

Ho was n man In middle life, but ho
reined up and dismounted with tho swift
agility of a youth, nnd sent his horao
away with the groom, nB soon as he saw
tho girl run across tho grass to meet him.
Taking her hand ho bowed over It nnd
kissed It with pleasing ccromony, of
which I approved. An Iroquois chief In

You never can perceive yourself what

when you think you are tho admired of
all eyes younay bo displaying a. fool;
and vhen llfo seems prostrated In you It
may be that you show as n monument on

In De Clmumont'B opinion of mo. Ho
pointed his whip handle nt me, exclaim
ing "What! that Bcarccrow," rrmdame?"

"-QUT look at him," she urged.
Jj "I recognize first." said Do Chau
mont as ho Bauntcred, "an old robe of my
own." ,
"His mother waa reduced to coarse
serge, I havo been told."
"You speak of an august lady, my dear
Eagle. But this is Chief Williams' boy.
He hus been at the hunting lodges every
summer Blnce'l came Into the wilderness.
There you see hla father, the half-breed
Mohaw.k."
"I saw the dauphin In London, count. I
was n little child, but his scarred ankleB
and wrists nnd forehead are not easily
forgotten."
"The dauphin died in tho Temple,
Eagle." . t
"My father and rhlllppe never believed
that,"
"Your father and Philippe were very
mad royalists."
"And you have gone over to Bonaparte.
They Bald that boy had all the traits of
the Bourbons, even to the (shaping of his
ear."
"A bourbon oar hears nothing but
Bonaparte In these days." said De Chau
mont. "How do you kndw this Is tho
same boy you saw In London?"
"Last night while he was lying uncon
scious after Doctor Chantry had ban
daged Ws head and bled him. I went In
to see If I might be of use.
"He was like some one I hod seen. But
I did not know him until 11 moment ago.
He ran out of the house like a wild In
dian, Then he saw jia Bitting hero, and
came and fell down on his knees nt
Hlcht of that missal. I Baw Ills scars.
He claimed the book as his mother's
and you know, count, It was his moth

It to him, or he claims It. Chief William'
boy wanted your valuable illuminated

The rings on your hands are more to an
Indian's liking."
"But he is not an Indian, count. He
is ns white as we are."
"That signifies nothing. Plenty of white
children have been brought up among the
tribes. Chief WllllamB' grandmother, I
have heard, was a Yankee woman."
My father stopped when he saw Mad
ame de Furrier, and called to me in Iro
quois. It was plain that he and Doctor
Chantry disagreed. 8kenedonk, put out
of countenance by my behavior, and the
stubbornness of the chief, looked ready
to lay his hand upon his mouth In sign
of being confounded before white men;
for his learning had altered none of his
Inherited instinct.
But as for me. 'I was aa De Chaumont

the father's command reminded ids of

and drew the flowered eilk robe around

on burning coals, but I felt obliged to
return the book to Madame de Ferrler.
She would not take It. I closed her giasp
upon It, and, stooping, saluted her hand'
with courtesy a De Chaumont had done.

Tarian of tho Apes needed no second

she put her arms nround hlB nock and

them. It was the girl who first broko the
sweet silence. '
"Where aro wo going, dcarj" sho asked.
"What aro wo going to do?"
"Where would you llko best to go? ha
nsked. "Whut would you. llko best to
do?" -
"To go where you go, my man; to do
whatever seems best to you," sho an
Bwered. "But Clayton?" ho asked. For a mo
ment ho had forgotten that there exl3tcd
upon tho earth other than they two.
"Wo havo forgotten your husband."
"1 nm not married Tarzan of the
Apes," sho cried. "Nor am I longer
promised In marriage. Tho day before
those awful creatures captured me I
spoko to Mr. Clayton of my lovo for you,
and ho understood then that I could not
keep, the wicked promise that I had made.
It wns after wo had been miraculously
saved from an attacking Hon.." 8h.ei paused
suddenly. and looked up at him, a, ques
tioning light in her eyes. "Tnrxan of tho
Apes," sho crlcdf "It was you'who did
that thing? It could havo been no other.'
Ho dropped' his eyes, for ho Was
ashamed,
"How could you have gone away and
left me?" she cried reproachfully.'
"Don't. Jnno!" he pleaded. "Please
don't! You cannot krtow how I havo, Buf
fered for the cruelty of this act, or how
I suffered then,- ilrst, in Jealous rage, and
then In bitter resentment against tho
fate that 1 had not deserved. I went
back , to the apes, after that, Jane In
tending never' again to see a human be
ing." Ho told her then his llfo since ho
had returned to tho Jungle or how he
Mropped like a plummet from a civilized
I'nriRinn in n nnvnern vvnziri warriur. uuu
from there back to tho brute that ho hafl
been raised..
She asked him many questions, and at
last feurfully of tho things Monsieur
Thuran had told her of the' woman In
Paris. He narrated every detail of his
civilized life to her, omitting nothing, for
ho felt no shame, Blnc'e his heart olwaya
had been truo to her, When he finished he
sat looking at her, as though waiting for
her Judgment, and his sentence.
"I knew that he wns not speaking the
truth," she Bald. "Oh, what a horrlblo
creature he is!"
"You are not angry with me, then?"
he- asked.
And her reply, though apparently most
Irrelevant, waa truly fetnlnlne.
"Is Olga de Coude very beautiful?" Bhe
asked.
And Tarzan laughed and kissed her
again. "Not one-tenth so beautiful aa
you, dear," ho said.
She gave a contented little sigh and let
her head rest, against his shoulder. He
knew that ho was forgiven.
ThUt night Tarzan built a snug little
bower high among the swaying branches
of a glint tree, and there the tired girl
slept, while In a crotch beneath her the
ape-man curled, ready, even in sjeep, to
protect her, -
It look them many days to make the
long Journey to the coast. Where the
way was easy they walked hand In hand
beneath tho arching bows of the mighty
forest, as might In a far-gone past have
walked their primeval forbears: When
the underbrush waa tangled he took her
In his great arm and bore her lightly
L through the trees and the day were all
too short, for they were very happy. Had
it not been for their anxiety to reach and
succor Clayton they would have drawn
out the sweet pleasure of that wonderful
Journey Indefinitely.
On the last day before they reached the
coast Tarzan caught the scent qf men
ahead of them the scent of black men.
He told the girl and cautioned her to
maintain silence. "There aro few friends
in the Jungle," he remarked dryly.
In half an' hour they came stealthily
Upon a small party of black warriors
tiling toward the west. Aa Tarzan aw
them he gave a cry of delight It was' a
band of his own Wazlri. Busult waa
there and other who had accompanied
him to Qpar. At sight of hlror they danced
and cried out in exuberant Joy. For
week they had been searching for him,
they told him.
The blacks exhibited considerable- won
derment at the presence of the white girl
'with him. arid when they found that she
was to be hu woman they vied with one
another to do her honor. With the happy
Wailrl laughing and dancing ubout them
tbey came to the rude shelter by the
shore.
There, was no sign of lf, and no re
sponse to their oall. Tarzan otambered
quickly to the Interior of. the little .tree
hut, only to pirge a moment later with
an empty tin, Throwing "It down to

Tarzan forced a fow drops between the
cracked and swollen lips. Ho wetted tho
hot forehead-and bathed the pitiful llmba.
Presently Clayton opened his eyc. .A
faint, shadowy emllo lighted his counto
nonco as ho saw tho girl leaning over
him. At sight of "Tarzan tho. expression
changed toono of wondorment.
"It's nil right, old fellow," Bald tho ape
man. "Wo'vo found you in time. Every
thing will bo nit right now, nnd wo'U havo

it."
Tho Englishman shook his head weakly.
"It's too late," ho whispered. "But it's
Just as well. I'd rather die."
''Where Is Monsieur ThUran?" nBked
the girl,
iHe left me nrter the revar got oaa.
Ho la a devil. When I begged for the
water tlsnt I was too weak to get, he
drank before me, throw the rest out.
and laughed In my face." At tho thought
of It tha man was suddenly animated by
a spark of vitality. Ho raised himself
upon ono elbow. "Yes." he almost shout
ed; "I will live. I will live long enough
to find and kill thdl beast!" But tho
brief effort loft him weaker than before,
and ho sank back again upon tho rotting
grasses that, with Ma old ulster, had
been tho -bed of Jano Porter.
"Don't worry about Thuran," Bald
Tarzan of the Apes, laying a reassuring
hand on Clayton's forehead. "Ho belongs
to .me, and I shall get him In the end,
nover fear."
For n long time Clayton lay very still.
Several times Tarzan had to put hla car
qulto closo to the sunken chest to catch
the faint beating of the wornout heart.
Toward evening he aroused again for a
briof moment
"Jane," ho. whispered. Tho girl bent
her head closer to catch tho faint mes
sage. "I havo wronged, you and him,"
he nodded weakly toward tha ape-man.
"I loved you so It Is a poor excuso to
offer for Injuring you; but I could not
bear to think of giving you up. I do
not nsked your forgiveness. I only wish
to do now the thing I should havo done
over a. year ago," Ho fumbled In tho
pocket of the ulster beneath him for
something that he had discovered there
while ho lay between tho paroxysms of
fover. Presently he found it a crumpled
bit of yellow paper. He handed It to tho
girl, and ns sho took It his arm fell limp
ly across his chest, his head dropped back
and with a Uttlo gasp ho stiffened and
was still. Then Tarzan of the,Apes drew
a fold of the ulster across the upturned
face.
For a moment they remained kneeling
there, the girl's lips movln-j In allcnt
prayer, and as they roso and stood on
either side of the now peaceful form,
tears came to the ape-man's oyes, forj
through the anguish that his own heart
had suffered ho had learned compassion
ror tne suffering of others.
Through her own tears the slrl read the
messago upon the bit of faded yellow
paper, and as -she read her eyes went
very wide' Twice she read those start
ling words before she could fully compre
hend 'their meaning.-
Finger prints prove you Greystoke.
Congratulations. D'AHNOT.
She handed the paper to Tarzan. "And
he has known It all this time," Bhe said,
"and did not tell you?"
"I knew It first, 3an0," replied the man.
"I did not know that ho knew it at all.
I must have dropped this message that
night in the waiting room. It was there
that 1 received It."
"And aft?r.ward you told us that your
mother waa a she-ape, and that you had
never known your father?" she asked ln
creulously. "Tho title and tho estates meant noth
ing to mo without you, dear," he replied.
"And If I had taken them away from
him I should have been robbing the
woman I love-don't you understand.
Jane?" It waa as though he attempted
to excuse a fault.
She extended her arms toward him
across tlia body of the dead man, and
took his hands In hers.
"And I would havo thrown away a
lovo llko that!" she said.

THE PASSING OF THE APE-MAN.
THE next morning trjey set out upon
tho ahort Journey to, Tarzan's cabin.
T"our Wazlri bore the body of the dead
Englishman. It had been the ape-raan'a
suggestion that Clayton bo buried beside,
tho former Lord Greystoke near tho edge
of the jungle against the cabin that the
older man had built
Jane Porter was glad that It waa to be
so. and In her hearf of hearts she won
dered at tho marvelous fineness qf char
acter of this wondrous man, who, though
raised by brutes and among brutes, had
the true chivalry and tenderness which
one only associates with the reflnements
of the nlgheat civilization.
They had proceeded some three mile of
the flvo that had separated them from
Tkrzana own beach when tha Wazlri

Injj in amaiemertt at a atrangs Rgta
approaching them along the beach It
was a man with a hlny silk hat. who
walked slowly with bent head., and hands
clasped behind him underneath the tall
ot W3 long black coat '
At sight of him Jan Porter uttered a
little cry of. surprise and Joy, and ran
quickly ahead to meet him. At the sound
ot her voice th old man looked up. and
when he saw who It was confronting him.
he. too. cried out in Tellef and happiness
