THE BEASTS OF TARZAN
By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS
ANOTHER STORY ABOUT THE FAMOUS "APE-MAN"
Why 1$ "Tarzan of the Ape" the moil popular figure in the fiction
of today? Why should a character who is half man, half brute to ingroin
the reading public? Why thould the primitive impuhee of thit creature
awahen auch an inexhaustible interest, and project into popular favor this
highly imaginative personality as he is understood by Edgar Rice Bur'
roughs, the novelist who is responsible for him?
Probably the thing that makes Tarzan bin to ua all is the fact that
in his powerful breast a heart pulsed with a passion stirred by ferocity
and tenderness. If you would go again with Tarzan into the jungle,
begin-this story,
Tarzan crept into public notice through the pages of the Evening
Ledger where thousands of readers have followed him in his adventures
through the jungle. The story which begins Saturday, in these columns,
is a fitting sequel to this Ape-man's former extraordinary exploits in
"Tarzan of the Apes," and "The Return of Tarzan" which preceded.

"No, Ancient."
"So 'ere be I, a-standln In the Valley

"Oh, Peter! It be that theer old atapll

"I mean that, although It had no heart,
the staple waa tired and worn out Just as
you are, and so I brought It to you," and
I "lipped the rusty bit of Iron into the
old man's trembling palm.
"O Lord!" he began in a fervent voice,
"O dear Lord! I got it. Lord th' owd
stapll-I be ready to come to Thee, an'
J'yful J'yfull an' for this mercy, an' bene

He lay very quiet for a while, with the
broken staple clasped to his breast, and
his eyes closed.
"Peter," said he suddenly, "you won't
'ave ro one to bring you noos no more
why, Peterl be 'ee cryin' for me? 'T Is
true 't were me as found ye, but I didn't
think as you'd go to cry tears for me I

"Yes, Ancient?"
"Be you quite sure as you aren't a

"Quite sure."
"Nor a earl?"
"No, Ancient."
"Not even a barrynet?"
"No, Ancient'
"Ah, welll you be a man. Peter, n

And now he feebly beckoned us all
nearer.
"Children," said he, "I be a old an
ancient man I be goln on across the
river to wait for you my blessln' on ye.
It be a dark, dark road, but I've got t'

Bo, the Ancient sighed, and crossed the
dark Illver Into the Land of Light
Eternal.
CHAPTER XXXVII.
NIGHT, with a rising moon, and over
alt things a great quietude, a! deep,
deep silence- Air, close and heavy, with
out a breath, to wake the slumbering
trees; an oppressive atlllneM, la which
small soun magnified themselves, and
seemed disproportionately loud,
Apd presently, as I went upon my way,
I forgot the old man sleeping so peaceful
ly with the rusty staple clasped to his
shrunken breast, and thought only of the
proud woman who had given her lift
Into my keeping, and who, henceforth,
would walk with me. hand in hand, upon
tat rwA UUh-V, over rtugh sIam

and smooth even unto the end. So I
strode on, ."ull of a deep and abiding Joy,
and with heart that Mirobbed and hands
that trembled because I knew that shs
watched and waited for my coming,
A sound broke upon the stillness sud
den and sharp like the cnapplng of a
stlcK. I stopped and glanced about me
but It had come and gone lost In tho
all'pervadlng alm.
And presently, reaching the leafy path
that led steeply down Into the Hollow,
I paused a moment to look about me and
to listen again; but the deep silence was
all unbroken, save for the slumberous
song of the brook, that stole up to me
from the shadows, and I wondered Idly
what that sudden sound might have been.
So I began to descend this leafy path,
and went on to meet that which lay
waiting for me in the shadows.
It wai dark here among the trees, for
the moon was low as yet. but every now
and then she sent a kindly ray through
some opening amid the leaves, so that
as I descended the path I seemed to be
wading through small, limpid pools of
radiance.
But all at once I stopped staring at
something which lay at the edge of one
of these pools-a white claw-a hand
whose fingers, talon-like, had sunk deep
and embedded themsclveB In the turf.
And beyond this gleaming hand was an
?u"l' L.ai?d "Wond that again something
that bulked acrosB my path, darker than
the shadows.
Running forward, I stood looking down
.... l which lay at my feet-eo very
still; and stooped auddenly, and turned
it over that I might see the face; and,
seeing It, started back. In shuddering hor

blood, stained and blackened with pow
der I recognized my cousin, Sir Maurice
Vibart. Then, remembering the stick
inai naa snapped, I wondered no more,
but a sudden deadly falntners came upon
me so that I leaned weakly against a
tree near by.
A rustling of leaves a 6hudderlng
menu., ana, mougn I am not raise my
head, I knew that Charmlan was there.
"Oh. Peter!" she whispered, "oh.
Peter!" and that was all: but, moved
by something In her tone, I glanced up.
Her eyes were wide and staring not at
me, but at that which lay between us
her face was pallid: even her lips had
lost their color, and she clasped one hand
upon her bosom the other was hidden
In the folds of her gown hidden as I
remembered to have seen It once before,
but now It struck me with a horrible
significance. Wherefore I reached out
and caught that hidden hand and drew
the weapon from her nerveless fingers,
holding It where the light could play
upon It. She started, shivered violently
and covered her eyes, while I, looking
down at the pistol in my hand, saw that
it had lately been discharged.
"He has kept his word!" she whispered;
"he has kept his word!
"Yes, Charmlan he has kept hla
world!"
"'Oh, Peter!" she moaned, and stretched
out her hands toward me, yet she kept
ner face turned from that which lay
across the path between us, and her
nanaa were snaking pitifully. "Peter?"
sne cnea with a sudden break In her
voice: but I went on wlnlnc the aont
from the pistol barrel with the end of
my neckerchief. Then, all at once, she
was beside me, clasping my arm, and
she was pleading with me, her words
coming In a flood.
"No, Peter, no oh, God! you do not
tnink it you can t you mustn t. I was
alone waiting for you, and the hours
passed and you didn't come and I was
nervous and frightened and full of awful
fancies. I thought I heard some one
creeping round the cottage. Once I
thought some one peered In at the lat
tice, and once I though some one tried
the door. And so because I was fright
ened, Peter I took that that, and held
It In my hand, Peter. And while I sat
there It seemed more than ever that
somebody was breathing softly outside
the door. And so, Peter, I couldn't bear
It any more and opened the lattice and
fired In the air I swear It was In the
air. And I stood there at the open
casement sick with fear and trying to
pray for you because I knew he had
come back to kill you, Peter, and, while
I prayed, I heard another shot not
close, out faint like the snapping of a
twig, Peter and I ran out and oh.
Peter! that Is all brut you believe oh!
you believe, don t you, Peter?"
While she spoke I had slipped the pis
tol Into my pocket, and now I held out
my hands to her and drew her near, and
gazed Into the troubled depths of her
eyes.
"Charmlan!" said I, "Charmlan I love
you! and God forbid that I should ever
doubt you any more."
So, with a sigh, she sank In my em
brace, her arms crept about my neck
and our lips met and clung together.
But even then while I looked upon her
beauty, while the contact of her lips
thrilled through me even then, in my
mind, I saw the murderous pistol In her
hand as I had seen it months ago. In
deed, It almost seemed that she divined
rny thought, for she drew swiftly back
ana looxea at me wun naggara eyes.
"Peter?" she whispered, "what Is It
what la it?"
"Oh, Charmlonl" said I, over and over
again, "I love you I love you," And I
kissed her appealing eyes, and stayed her
questioning lips with my kisses. "I love
you more than my life more than honor
more than my soul; and, because I so
love you tonight you must leave me
"Leave you? ah, no, Peter no no, I
am your wife and I must stay with you
to suffer and share your troubles and
danger It Is my right my privilege. Let
us go away together, now anywhere-
anywhere. only let us be together my
husband,"
"Don't!' I cried, "don't! Do you think
