had Just come from a conference with tho

So. when he opened tho boy'n rtnor nt

a sheet and bound tho man's handj behind
his back. 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. All
the while he talked In a low, conversational
tone,
"I am Waja, chief pf the Wall," ho ex

And the aon of Tarran skipped across4
the room, slipped through the open window
and slid to liberty by way of the spout
from an cavesttrough.
Mr. Moore wriggled and struggled about

frenzy of terror, he managed to roll oft tho

Mr. Moora mado a rapid sprint across

"Where were you going?" panted the

t A LITTLE TALK ON SHAKESPEARE
(Suggested by Essie "Wyman nnd Alice Weed.)
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

FARMER SMITH'S GOAT BOOK
Billy Bumpus' First Battle
"Whnt aro you doing hero?" said tho
little bird to Billy Bumpus ono afternoon.
"I'm counting the nnts," snld Billy.
"Five thousand, 10,000, 1,000,000, 2,000,.
000."
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.
Suddenly he was wounded. He Jumped
up, only to find another goat standing
over him, and as he moved the other goat
moved.
Quick as a flash Billy butted the Intruder
and
Crash! The glass In the mirror-' fell all
about his head.
Missus Gqat ran In, exclaiming, "What
Is the matter? What Is the matter?"
"Nothing, only I finished the other goat,"
replied Billy.
"You have smashed the mirror," an
swered Mrs, Goat.
"Well, now, seo how brave I am."
"Well," said Missus Goat, "you had bet
ter get the dust-pan nnd the broom and
clean up the glass before the next battle
takes place." And Billy went meekly and
did as he was told.

In the town of Cedar Grove there Is an

tap upon Ita base, when surely he must be
heord.
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.

MONTE CRISPEN-
(The Sequel)
A Remarkable Story of tho MllllonaircHero's" Adventures in Kehsilutic
CHAMEIl XVI Continued
THE Stanleys were the sort of people
who tmprovo on acquaintance. Nothing
they over said or did hammered the nervea.
Grace's father had taken nn uncommon
fancy to young Crlepen, had put hla name
up for membership at several ultra-exclusive
clubs and had even Introduced htm to a
certain very Important United States Sen
ator ns the proper stripe of rich man to
send to Congress.
Monte got out to tho Stanloya' country
homo exceedingly often. He liked them
Immensely, and Grace particularly. 8he
typed tho sort of girl a man of his position
nnd wealth was expected to be seen with,
cantering along the bridle paths of Fair
mount Park or lunching at any of the
smart hotels. Then Bho danced like a fairy
queen, nnd looked like one, too.
' Yet Monte did not neglect his heart-to-heart
talks with Unity Marley at tho .nig
Four, where her brother ruled with ft firm,
kind authority, and had becomo the Idol of
the operatives. The mllla were prospering
ns never before In their history. Unity was
a whole cheat of Ideas on how to bring
more sunshine Into the lives of the work
ers; practical Ideas that brought results.
Monte took long walks with her, and to
gether they laid great plans for tho build
ing of n solid block of model worklngmen a
homes, the establishment of a co-operative
trading Btoro and a Crlspen farm In Mont
gomery County, whoro employes could spend
their vacations free from the worry of cx
penso, Tho Countess Zeda had 'a niche all of
her own In the Interest of tho young multi
millionaire. Her prcsenco had tho tang of
tho foreign boulevards wafted overseas.
Sho wna ripping good to gaze upon, and a
brilliant conversationally as well. Ho found
her always agreeable, and frantically glad
to see him; he never could forget that Bho
hud proved herself hlB stanch ally In a
trying crisis,
Enough Bmatl-talk material for a dozen
best sellers crowded Monte's three months
of alternation botween his three principal
lady friends, each n delightful companion,
yet bo different from tho others.
Zcda'B candor about the past transac
tions of her unscrupulous father, In whom
tho arrogance of tho king blonded with the
brutulUy of tho peasant, might eaBlly pack
with exquisite thrills three fat volumes of
"The Revelations of an International Spy."
Draco's chatter of the doings of the well
bred gentlefolk sho knew nnd lived among
would make many chapters of nlco, refined
rending. As for Unity, her slmplo rccltalB
of Kensington Ufa would fill countless pages
with profound human interest.
But In these strenuous days of red blood,
war news on tho first pago and tho action
mad screen plays at the movlng-plcturo
houses, wo havo no time to bubble nwny In
puro food. Besides, Monte, our hero, did
not spend all of his time with his fomlnlno
triangle. He got In a little work nt tho
Iron works, tho textile mills 'and the ship
yard. Anyhow, our talo Is nearly told nnd
a rattling flno serial Is waiting to got this
most valuable space. Interesting people
nevor overstay their welcome.
Monte's year of probation under his un
cle's will wna up. Tho lid waa off for him ;
ho could go anywhere. Howevor, ho de
cided to celebrate tho vent with a whale
of a banquet at the Bcllalre-Blltz, given to
his executives, where he outlined' his future
business policies In no uncertain langunge;
announced the gift of nn extra month's
salary to every name on nil the Crlspen
payrolls, and Introduced a real efficiency
expert, hired, he said, "to scrap rule-of-thumb
methods wheroVor they cropped to
tho surface."
"Men," remarked tho young holr when
the clapping of hands that Inaugurated his
rising from his seat beside Crnlg Andrews,
the lawyer, had subsided, "I am going to
remain In Philadelphia, right on tho Job
whoro any one of youi my friends and as
sociates, can always find mo. We aro go
ing to show employers the country over
that tho best policy toward employes is
to "
It was quite a long speech, much too long
to give In full. If you want to read It all,
oend around to tho Crlspen ofllces In tho
Montgomery Bank Building, and ono of tho
clerks will be more than pleased to give
you a copy of It; tho boys had It printed
for general distribution, they thought so
much of It.
After the banquet Monto and Andrews
went up on the hotel roof for a quiet smoke,
n nightcap and a few private words. They
had the drink and walked to the very spot
on tho edge of the roof where Crlspen a
year before had1 glowered and growleet orer
the restriction of hla uncle's will.
"Well, great and good friend, you a.v
pulled me through tho Knot-hole," m!&
Monte. "It haa been the ahorest and All
around beat year of my life."
"That's good I I pulled you through?
Rubbish 1" replied Ahdrewa with decision
"I have been a poof trailer. You took th
lead, and held It from the night you stripped
Hochmelster of his revolver at yonder table.
What a. race you have led u all!"
"Arguments waato time", but I know what
you havo done for me," said Monte. "fiy
no more. Xlut epenklnr of Hochmelster,
It's mighty queer about hit death I X tnenn
hla belnr en that nnarmed neutral ien
ger boat Stockholm torpedoed last wek br
h German aabmarlne In the North Sea.
Ills bank balances on this aide are con
alderAble ; they ail go to hla daughter, whom
the Government people are now Satisfied
Is quite on the level and Innocent of past
wrong-doing."
"Providence mores In a myaterlous way,"
Bald Andrews solemnly, "That reminds tne
the Federal authorities want you to alga
the depositions made from your recordo
phone. They go Into the archives at Waehw
Ington and Brlccono goes to Italy, ox
trdalte'd to-otnnd trial for a murder ho
committed years ago. It la Juat M well
your fight with tho SIgvay Gang never fot
Into tho newspapers." ,
"I am satisfied with the obseuHty'
laughed Monte. ,
"Thought you might like to run over to)
New York and sign up thoso depositions
the bars aro now down, my boy."
"Let them tend them aver. And I will
ln them here. The hanker for Broadway
la goiie, and by Broadway I mean erery
where n roona- man ahouldn't waete his
timet Philadelphia, Is a-ood enough for me,"
"Bless my heart," said Andrews aa they
paced up and down the corridor along tho
edge of the roof, "Your undo would havo
liked to hnvo heard that Ono thing else,
my lad, hero la that mlnlaturo qf your
mother."
"Thanks 1" said Monte, a doglike, chok
Ing noise filling his throat, and hla oyes
moist, Tho two men walked In alienee, for
somo time.
Over tho glass counter of a faaous
Chestnut street Jewelry storo our fine, stal
wart young chap lounged the noxt day On
gaged In onrneat conversation with a gray
haired salesman. The melancholy expres
sion wo observed on hla features o, year
before had completely vanished. A. tray
of sparkling diamond engagement "rings
v,as before him.
"Mr. Crlspon, don't you know tho alae of
the lady's ring finger?"
"I am not sure," confessed Monte some
what confusedly. "Give mo half a dozen
nnd she can pick out tho ono that fits."
They both laughed.
And tho wedding is to take place during
tho coming Juno. No announcements havo
been issued, for It la to be a quiet affair
with n honoymoon tour in a new blue
limousine. It would spoil everything to
say any more about It ,We can only wish
them luck, and congratulate the young mul
timillionaire for hla choice of a wife. Ho
did exactly what-a sensible man-would do j
ho proposed to tho RIGHT GIRL and Bho
aald "yes." ,
