Then he rolled him over and stuffed a gag of the same material between his teMh, securing- It with a strip wound nbout tho neck of his victim's head.

"Where were you going?" panted the oxcltcd Mr. Moore. "I am going to seo AJax," replied the boy, qulotly. "I am astonished I" crlod Mr, Mooro, but a momont later ho was infinitely more astonished, for tho boy, approaching closo to him, suddenly seized him nbout tho waist, lifted him from his feet, and throw him, face downward, upon tho bed, shov ing hla faco deep Into assort pillow. - "Be quiet," admonished tho victor, "or I'll choke you." Mr. Mooro struggled, but his efforts wero In vain.

Dear Children I do not know what I would do if some of our good members tjid not writo in nnd suggest things for me to write nbout. As I told you, an jditor is made by the people who read what he writes. I try to write what pleases you and if I do not write what pleases you, then I am no longer of value lad OUT I GO. Today let us talk about Shakespeare. In order to get somcthing.useful from lis life, we must know under whnt difficulties ho wrote. Thero aro very few jriters.who have made a great success and been wealthy. Wealth and beautiful Jr-fiting a0 not go together. The moment n man gets out of the garret and starts attending parties, his usefulness stops. If Shakesnearo had bcen born in n palace ho never would have been a grent trfter, fpr there must be a sadness in the work of the truly great, and sadness tames from experience. You cannot learn sadness from books. In order to write entertainingly, ono must know what tho reader wants, and e average reader wants either of two things: First, a story about something or some experience through which he has passed, or, secondly, some experience hicq ho would like to encounter. Sfiakespeare knew that everybody Is interested in the subject of LOVE and M wrote mostly about that and ho put in a little hero and there to show at he knew what HATE is. He also knew what ejUJNTKAST means, nnu Jlnat is why'he swings like a pendulum from love to hate, from laughter to tears, ftom the sublime to tho ridiculous.

Billy stopped right In the middle of his counting and walked away toward hla home, saying thoughtfully to himself: "Tills war business la getting on my delicate nerves. All day long Tm prancing up and down, getting ready for battle, and at night my peaceful slumber Is disturbed by thoughts of the battlefield." When ho reached home his wlfo greeted him with: "Well, my brave man, I forgot to ask you whether you Were going to war In Europo or In Mexico?" "i never thought of that," said Billy, sitting down In tho easy chair nnd strok ing hla beautiful goatee. "Where would you prefer to have me go; whero would I bo the braver?" "It seems to me." said Missus Goat, "that you ought to die for your own coun try, and besides it won't bo half ns far for mo to come and plant dandyllons on your grave." At this Billy Jumped, for he had not as yet thought of his own grave. Without saying another word he went Into the parlor and lay down for a nap on the sofa, beside the looking-glass. In a few minutes he had dozed oft to sleep and waS picturing himself leading hla troop: to battle, with Zeppelins dropping borr'-.s all around him and the air filled with tho whizzing of bullets.

The knocking waa repeated a little louder, and finally a voice called, "Mr. Jack I" It waa ono of the housemon Mr. Moore recognized tho fellow's voice. Ho pamo near to bursting n blood-vessel In nn endeavor to scream, "Como In I" through the stifling gag. After a moment tho man knocked again, quite loudly, and again 'called the boy's name. Receiving no reply, he turned tho knob, nnd nt tho same Instant a sudden recollection filled tho tutor anew with numb ing lorror he had, himself, locked tho door behind him when ho had entered the room I Ho heard the servant try tho door sev eral times, and then depart. Upon which Mr. Moore swooned. In tho meantfmo Jack was enjoying to tho full tho Btolen pleasures of the muslo hall. Ho had reached that temple of mirth Just as AJax's act was commencing, nnd, having purchased n box seat. Was now leaning breathlessly over tho rail wntchlng every mnvo of tho great ape, his eyes wldo In wonder. Tho trainer waa not slow to noto the boy's handsome, eager face, and, ns one of Ajnx'B biggest hlta consisted In nn entry to one or more boxos during his porformnnce, ostensibly In search of a long-lost relative, ns tho tratner explained, the man realized tho effectiveness of sending him Into tho box with tho handsomo boy, who, doubtless, would be terror-stricken by proximity to tho shaggy, powerful beast. When tho tlmo came, therefore, for tho apo to return from tho wlngn In reply to an encore, tho trnlnor directed Its attention to tho boy, who chanced to bo tho sole oc cupant of tho box In which he aat. With a spring tho huge anthropoid lenped from the stago to tho boy's side ; but If tho t'tlner hnd looked for a laughablo scene p. fright ho was mistaken. A broad Bmlle lighted tho boy'B features as he laid his hand upon tho shaggy arm of his visitor. Tho apo, graBpIng the boy by cither shoul der, poorcd long and earnestly Into hla face, while the latter stroked his head and talked to him In a low voice. Never had AJax dovoted so long a tlmo 'to an examination of nnother ns he did In thla Instance. Ho Becmcd troubled nnd not n llttlo oxclted, Jnbbcrlng nnd mumbling to tho boy, nnd now caressing him ns the trainer had nover seen him caress a human bolng beforo. Presently he clambered over Into tho box with htm nnd snuggled down closo to the boy's side. Tho audience was delighted; but they were still more delighted when tho trainer, the period of his act having olnpsed, at tempted to persuado AJax to leavo tho box. Tho apo would not budge. The manager, becoming excited at tho de lay, urged tho trainer to greater hasto, but when tho latter entered tho box to drag away tho reluctant AJnx ho wna mot by bared fangs nnd mcnnclng growls. Tho nudlenco was delirious with Joy. They cheered the apo. They cheered tho boy, nnd they hooted nnd Jeered nt the trainer nnd the manager, which luckless Individual hnd Inadvertently shown himself and attempted to assist the trainer. FJnally, reduced to desperation, nnd real lzlng that this show of mutiny upon the part of his vnluablo possession might render tho animal worthless for exhibition pur poses In tho future If not Immediately sub dued, the trainer hastened to hla dressing room nnd procured a heavy whip. With this he now returned to the box; but when ho had threatened AJax with It but onco ho found himself facing two in furiated enemies Instead of ono, for tho boy leaped to hln feet, and, seizing a chair, stood ready at the ape's side to defend his new-found friend. There was no longer n smile upon hla handsome face. In his gray eyes was nn expression which gavo tho trainer pause, and beside htm stood tho giant anthropoid growling and ready. What might have happened but for a timely Interruption may only be surmised ; but that the trainer would havo received a sovero mauling If nothing moro was clearly Indicated by the attitudes of tho two who faced him. It was a pale-faced houseman who rushed Into tho Groystoke library to announco that ho had found Jnck's door locked, and had been able to obtain no responso to hla repeated knocking other than a. strango tapping and the, sound of what might havo been a body moving about upon tho floor. Four Bteps nt a tlmo John Clayton took the stairs that led to tho floor abovo. His wlfo and tho servant hurried after him. Onco he called his son's name In a loud volco; but, receiving no reply, he launched his great weight, backed by all tho un diminished power of his giant muscles, against the heavy door. With a snapping of Iron hinges and a splintering of wood the obstacle burst in ward. At his foot lay the body of the uncon scious Mr. Moore, across whom It fell with a resounding thud. Through the opening leaped Tarzan. and a moment later the room was flooded with light from a half dozen electric bulbs. It was several minutes before the tutor was discovered, so completely had the door covered him; but finally he was dragged forth, his gag and bonds cut away, and a liberal application of cold water hastened his recovery. "Where Is Jack?" was John Clayton's first question, and then: "Who did this?" as the memory of Rokoff and the fear of a second abduction seized him. Slowly Mr. Moore staggered to his feet, His gaze wandered about the room. Gradu ally he collected his scattered wits. The detatls of his recent harrowing experience returned to him, "I tender my resignation, sir, to take effect at once," were hla first words. "You do not need a tutor for your son what he needs Is a wild animal trainer." "But where la hat" cried Lady Grey stoke, "He has gone to see AJax." It waa with difficulty that Tarzan re strained a smile, and after satisfying him self that the tutor was more scared than Injured, he ordered hla closed car around and departed In the direction of a certain welt-known muslo hall. CHAPTER III. Exit Paulvltch AS THE trnlnor, with raised lash, hesl X"Jl tnted an Instant at the entrance to the box whero the boy nnd the ape con fronted hlmi a tall, broad-shouldered man pushed past htm and entered. As his cyos foil Upon tho newcomer a slight flush mounted the boy's cheeks. "Father I" he exclaimed, Tho ape gavo one look at the English lord, and then leaped toward him, calling out In excited Jabbering. The man, his oyes wldo In astonishment, stopped as though turned to stone. "Akutl" he cried. The boy looked, bewildered, from the ape to his father, and from his father to tho ape. Tho trainer's Jaw dropped ns he listened to whnt followed, for from tho lips of tho Englishman flowed tho gutturals of nn ape that wero answered In kind by tho huge anthropoid that now clung to him. And from tho wings a hldtfoualy bent and disfigured old man watched the tableau In tho box, his pock-marked features work ing spasmodically In arylng expressions that might havo marked every ncnsatlon In the gamut from pleasure to terror. "Long havo I looked for you, Tartan," said Akut. "Now that I have found you I shall come to your Jungle nnd live thero always." Tho man stroked the beast'a head. Through his mind was running rapidly a train of recollection that carried him far Into the depths of the primeval African forest, where this huge, man-llko benst had fought shoulder to shoulder with him In years before. He Baw the black Mil gnmbl wielding hla deadly knob-stick, and beside them, with bared fnnga and bristling whiskers, Sheota tho terrible ; and pressing closo behind, savago as tho Bavago pan ther, tho hldoous npea of Akut. Tho man sighed. Strong within him surged the junglo lust that he had thought dead. Ah, If he could go back oven for a brief month to It; to feel again the brush of leafy branches against hla nnked hldo; to smell the musty rot of dead vegetation frankincense nnd myrrh to tho Jungle-born ; to sense the noiseless coming of tho great carnivore upon his trail; to hunt and to bo hunted ; to kill I Tho plcturo v.ns alluring. And then camo another picture a sweet-faced wom an, still young and beautiful; friends; a homo; a son. Ho shrugged his giant shout dors. "It cannot be, Akut," he said; "but If you would return, I shall seo that It iu dono You could not bo happy here I may not bo happy there." Tho trainer stepped forward. Tho ape barod his fangs, growling. "Go with him, Akut," said Tarzan of the Apes. "I will como and see you tomor row." Tho beast moved sullenly to tho trainer's side. Tho latter, at John Clayton's request, told whero they might be found. Tarzan turned toward his son. "Cornel", ho said, and the two loft the theatre. Neither spoke for several min utes after they had entered the limousine. It was the boy who broke the silence. "Tho ape know you," he Bald, "and you spoke together In tho ape's tongue. How did tho ape know you, nnd how did you learn hla language?" And then, briefly, nnd for the flrsftlmo, Tarzan of the Apes told his son of his early llfo of his birth In tho Jungle, of tho death of hla parents, and of how Knla, tho great she-ape, had suckled and raised him from Infancy almost to manhood. Ho tpld him, too, of tho dnngero and the horrors of the Jungle of tho great beasts that stalked ono by day nnd by night; of tho periods of drought, and of the cataclys mic rains; of hungor; of cold; of lntcnso heat; of nakedness nnd fenr and suffering. He told him of nil those things that seem most horrible to the creature of civilization In the hope that tho knowledge of them might expunge from the lnd's mind nny Inherent dcslro for tho Jungle. Yet they were tho very things that mado tho memory of the Junglo what It waa to Tarzan that mado up tho composltei Juriglc'tife he loved. And In tho telling ho forgot one thing tho principal thing that tho boy at his side, listening so eagerly, was the son of Tnrzan of the Apos. After tho boy had been tucked away In bed and without tho threatened punish ment John Clayton told his wlfo of tho ovent3 of tho evening, and that he had at last ncqualnted tho boy with the facts of his Junglo life. Tho mother, who had long foreseen that her son must sorpe tlmo know of those frightful years during which his father had roamed the Jungle, a naked, sav ago beast of prey, shook her head, hoping against hope that tho lure she knew was still strong In the father's breast had not bcen transmitted to his son. Tarzan visited Akut the following day, but though Jack begged to be allowed to accompany him, he was refused. -This tlmo Tarzan saw the pock-marked old owner of tho ape, whom he did not rec ognize as the wily Paulvltch of former days. Tarzan, Influenced by Akut's plead ings, broached the question of the ape's purchase; but Paulvltch would not name any price, saying that he would consider the matter. When Tarzan returned home Jack was all excitement to hear the details of his visit, and flnnlly suggested that his father buy tho ape and bring It home. Lady Grey stoke was horrified at the suggestion. The boy was Insistent Tarzan explained that he had wished to purchase Akut and return him to his Jungle home, and to this the mother assented. Jack asked to be allowed to visit the ape, but again he was met with flat refusal. Ho had the address, however, which the trainer had given hla father; and two days later he found the opportunity to elude his new tutoi" who had replaced the terrified Mr. Moore and after a considerable search through a section of London which he had never before visited, he found the smelly llttlo quarters of the pock-marked old man. The old fellow himself replied to his knocking, and when Jane stated that he had come to see AJax, opened the door and admitted him to the little room which he and the great ape occupied.
