"Other party!" exclaimed Tarzan. "What other party?" 1 "With the party that the ery bad white man .was pursuing. Thero was a white man, woman and the child, with ilx Mosula porters. They passed up tho - river three days ahead of tho very bad white man I think that they were run ning away from him " A white man, -woman nnd child! Tar- i.tsn was puzzled The child must be his 111- Yn1-- 1.... little Jack; but who could the woman . be and tho man? Was it possible that jj..ono ot Itokoft'B confederates had con tiijlrcd with home woman who had nc H eompanled tho Russian to steal the baby -from him? Jn! If this was tho case, they had doubt- lesa purposed returning the child to clvll tarliatlon and thero either claiming a re- 'ward or holdlns the llttlo prisoner for i ransom. But now that Itokoff had succeeded in chjslng them far Inland, up tho savage river, there could be little doubt but that he would eventually overhaul them, un less, ns was still more probable, they should bo captured and killed by the very cannibals farther up the TJgambl, to whom, Tarzan was now convinced. It had been Itokoff's Intention to deliver the baby. As he talked to Kaviri the canoes had -t been moving- steadily upriver toward tho I chief's village. Kavlrl'a warriors plied the paddles In tho three canoes, casting sidelong terrifled glances at their hld - sous passengers. Thrco of the apes of Akut had been killed In the encounter, 6 but thero were, with Akut, eight of the) ingntrul beats remaining, and there was Sheeta, the panther, and Tarzan and Mu (ambl. Kavlrl'B warriors thought that they naa never Been so terrible a crew in all their lives, Momentarily they expected to bo pounced upon nnd torn asunder by ome of their captors, nnd. In fact, It was all that Tarzan and Mugnmbl nnd Akut could do to keep the snarling, Ill natured brutes from snapping at the gllitenlng naked bodies thnt brushed Ualnst them now nnd then with the movements of the paddlers. At Knvlri's camp Tarzan paused only long enough to eat tho food that tho blacks furnished and arringe with the Chief for a dozen men to man the pad dles of his canoe. , jvlrl was only too glad to comply with any demands that the ape-man Jfi'tht make If only such compliance JTAuld hasten the departure of the horrid 'Pack: but It was enaler. tin disrnvered. fcto promise men than to furnish them, BK. 10 tvliah 1.1a. w.aa1a 1... .a l.l t-.. --. .....a 411a ifvuijio icuriicu I11H iiueii- Jions those that had not already fled Into the jungle proceeded to do so without s of time, so that when Kavlrl turned to point out those who wero to accom pany Tarzan he discovered that he was " only member of his tribe left within the vll)age, Tarzan could not repress a smile.

"Your people have returned, my brother," ho said, "and now you may select those who nre to accompany me and paddle my canoe " Tremblingly Kavlrl tottered to his feet, calling to ills people to come from their hrts, but none responded to his sum mons "Tell them," suggested Tarzan." "thnt If the do not come I slmll send my people In after them." Kavlrl did as he was bid, and in an in stant tho cntlro population of the vil lage came forth, their wide nnd fright ened eyes rolling from ono to another of tho savage creatures that wandered about tlie village street Quickly Kaviri designated a dozen wnr rlors to nccompnny Tarzan.

Ueforo them the natives fled In alarm, so that thev round only deseitcd villages In their pith as they proceeded. Taizan was anxious to get In touch with some ' "'f savages wno dwelt upon the river's banks, but so far ho had been unable to Ufl BO. Finally ho decided to tako to the land himself, leivlng his company to follow after him by boat. Ho explained to Mu gambi the thing that he hail In mind, and told Aiuit to follow tho dlicctlons ot the black. "I will Join ou again In a few dis," he said. "Xow I go ahead to learn what has become of tho very bad whlto man whom I seek." At 'hat nest halt Tarzan took to the shore, nnd was soon lost to the view of J his people. Tho first few villages he came to weio deserted, showing that news of the com ing of his park had traveled rnpldlv; but toward evening he came upon a distant cluster of thatched huts surrounded by a rudo palisade, within which were a couple of hundred natives The women wero preparing tho evening meal as Tarzan of the Apes poised above them In tho branches of a giant tree which overhung the palisade at ono point. THE DAILY A Delayed p: RI3DRIUCK ADAIR rolled over In bed and squinted through the open door of the chlffrobc. Ho smiled contentedly when he caught a gleam of pale gray. Ho knew that were he a llttlo nearer he would get the faint stripe of tuugo color than ran through the perfectly talloied suit. And his eea wandered lovingly toward the drawer leside it which held tho new tango hose, cravat and bor dered handkerchief. In tho hatbox vva3 a, now pearl-gray hat, and In tho cup board i brand-new walking stick. A shirt, caiefully selected from a new half dozen, lay over a chair, and new gloves and shoes woro In their proper places. This beautiful spring Sunday was to be a day of days. At 2 o'clock ho was to dine at tho l'mersons' to meet Miss Wlldn Winters. And Frederick knew as well as nil the rest of Greendale thut old Henry Winters had coined money almost as fast as the mint, after ho had moved to Now York. Frederick tolled out of bed, bathed and mado a plnfully careful toilet, albeit his brain was busier planning things to say to tho prospective heiress than with shoe stiings and collar buttons it was nn opportunity not to bo neglected Tlmo and again he had put the little god of love behind him. "I'll never marry until I can tlnd some ono with well, with enough money to keep her comfortably If nn) thing should hap pen to me." Ho had always put It that way, even unto himself, arguing that It was all a matter of not being able to afford a heavy Insurance. Hut In his heart he knew that he wanted a few sub stantial things on his own account, an automobile, a man to say, "Thank you, sir," and "Very good, sir," if ho chose to kick him down stairs, and time to enjoy himself. To tell tho truth, he want ed about everything that money can buy. and In exchange ho was quite willing to give his carefully tailored self. The latter was more of a sacrifice than it would appear. It was common talk In Greendale thut Frederick Adair would never marry. Uachelorhood ran in tho Adair family, his father being the only one of seven brothers who had married. The Adairs loved their freedom! "It's a shame for him to waate Mar garet Cartwrlght's tlmo!" was the com mon cry. "He'll never marry her In the world." "She knows the family falling," pro tested others. "Why doesn't Bhe throw him over? Bhe can pick any one of a dozen better than him." Frederick finished dressing. He had tried to conjure up a mental photograph of Wllda Winters, but Invariably her hair was soft and of a shining chestnut brown like Margaret's, and Margaret's violet eyes smiled at him. When Ucau Urummel sallied forth, after a critical inspection In his mir ror, the annoying mental vision had van ished. Instead, on the retina of his mental eye, was an Impression of Mr, Frederick Adair, correctly and ex pensively caparisoned In the newest style, ready to lay siege to the heart, hand and fottune of Miss Winters. It was too early to present himself at the Kmersons". The spring morning be ing exceptionally fine, with grass, trees. Sky and flowers more ylvldly colored than he ever remembered having seen them before, he wanaerea into ine pain. Besides, by so doing he need not pass Margarets bouse. tmo -way no wuuea to avoid her today But as luck would Tip , . , , , how he might entei Into communlentlon with these iioople without either rrlsnienina; them or aiouslne their savage love of bat tie He had no desile to tight now, for he was upon a much more Important mis sion than that of battling with every chaniH tribe that he should happen to meet with At last he lilt upon a plan, nnd after seeing that he was concealed from the view of those below, he gave a few lionise grunts In Imitation of a panther All eves Immediately turned upward toward the foliage above. It was growing dhtk, and the eouM not penetrate the leafy screen which shielded the ape-man from their view The moment that he had won their at tentlon ho raised his voice In the slnlller ami more hideous scream of the beast bo personated, nnd then, scarce stirring a leaf in his descent, dropped to tho giound once again outside the palisade and with the speed of n deer, ran quickly lound to the village gate. Here he heat upon the fiber-bound saplings of which the hairier was cim struoted, shouting to tho natives In their own tonguo that he was a friend wno vvlM.cd food and shelter for tho night Tarzan knew well the nature of the black man. He vv.ii awaro thnt fie gmntli'g and sci earning of Sheeta In the tree thovo them would set their nerv'es on edge, and that his pounding upon their gate aftir dark would still further add to their terroi. That thev did not reply to his hall was no sui prise, for natives are fearful of any voire ihat comes out or tho night fiom bej ond thilr palisades, attributing It ulwajs to some demon or other ghoallv visitor, but still he iifutinued to cull to them. "I.el me In, m filemls!" ho cried ' I am a vvhlti man pursuing the vcr bad white man who passed this way a few davs ngo. I follow to punish him for the sins ho lias conmltted ngalnst .von and me. "It j on doubt my friendship, I will prove It to .voti 1ij going Into the tree above ;iour village nnd driving Sheeta ba.'k Into the Jungle before ho leap among ou. If you will not promiso to take mo In and treat me as si friend 1 shall let Sheeta stay and devour vou" For a moment thete was silence. Then the voice of an old man enmo out of the quiet of tho village street. "If j on arc IndeeJ a while man and a friend, we will let vou come In; but first jou must drive Sheeta away." "Very well," replied Tarzan "Listen, nnd you shall hear Sheeta fleeing before me." Tho ape-man returned quickly to the tree, and this time n made a gieat nolto ns he entei cd the br inches, at the same tlmo growling ominously after tho mnii ner of the panther, so that those below would believe that the great beast was still there When he reached n point well above the vlllugo street he made a grit com motion, shaking the tree vlolentlv, ery liig aloud to thu panther to flee or be killed, nnd punctuating his own voico with th screams nnd mountings of nn angry beast. Prcsentlv lie raced toward the oppo site side of tho tree uml off Into the Jungle, pounding loudly against the boles of trees ns he went and voicing the pan ther's diminishing growls ns ho drew fur ther and further awny from the village A few minutes luter he returned to the village gate, calling to the natives within "I have dtlven Sheeta nwa," ho said. "Sow come and ndmlt me as ou promloed." For a time there was the sound of excited discussion within the palisade, but at length a half dozen wnrriors canu and ooened tho gates, peeling nn-vlously out in evident trepidation as to the nat ure of the ireature which they should find waiting there. The were not much relieved at sight of an almost naked white man, hut when Tarzan had reas sured them In quiet tones, protesting his mcnilrhlp for them, they opened the barrier a trifle further and admitted him, (CONTINUUD TOMORROW ) SHORT STORY Engagement have it, Margaret, returning from church decided to take the path In tho park too, and they met. "Darn It!" wns his mcntnl ejaculation when he lecognlzed her. Then his eves widened with ndmlintlon In a new suit of silk, the exact shade of her ejen, nnd a lime tip-tilted hat with blue flowers she was adorable. With a background of green, nnd the clear wntcis of a tiny lake mat reuecieu the sxy nacl anything pret tier ever existed? One of the bachelor Adairs had onco had a picture hung In tno national gallery. Frederick had in herlted nn eyo for color. "Good moinlng what shall I call you Madam Ceres? The spring doesn't come until you nppear! She laughed and held out her hand "Good morning, Mr. Brutnmel. Thank you for the compliment, but Ceres only made potatoes grow. Resides, I'm not inaaam "Of course! I nlwavs say tho wrong thing " He glanced at his watch. Thero was still plenty of tlmo borore dinner. "Where ore you going? And may I go uiong ' in suing nnrne, nnu you may go niong. i was ;ust Hoping to see you to day. I'm going awuy tonight." "Away? For how long nnd whetc, may I ask?" "I am going forever nnd always, to answer your first question, and to New York, theiico to l'urope to study, If all goes well. It's ray muBlc." A tiny cloud hung between the sun nnd the gay llttlo park for an Instant. The shadow seemed to chill him. In a mo ment the world had changed. Forgotten wns Miss Wllda Winters, heiress to millions. A curious pain was gripping his heart. Margaret was going away to be swal lowed up by the big world. Ho was about to lose her. "Why I hadn't any Idea of this. Vou never said anything about going. Isn't It rather sudden?" he managed to get out. She looked at him curiously. "Yes, a little. I had a letter yesterday." "Rut I don't see why ou want to go. Your friends are all here." "Oh, nol One makes friends any where." Tho lightness of her tone stabbed him Here was a new Margaret who was going away, nnd glad of tho prospect. He had always supposed that had he taken the notion to propose she would never have hesitated for a second tp say "Yes," Now she appeared to be unattainable. It was the first time In, his lire that his vanity had been hurt, a vanity that had stilled love, "Margaret!" "Yes?" "I can't let you go!" "Why, Frederick. I don't understand. Can't let me go? Why, pray?'' "Because I love youl" Silence, "Because I Jove youl" he repeated, try ing to get a' glimpse of her eyea. "Don't you think you might come back and marry me? Or, better still, not go at all, I'm done for, Margaret, If you do." "I-I might think about It, Frederick," she said softly. "It Is rather hard to un make tny mind. Won't you come home with me to dinner?"
