frtid bl habits. Ills npporol was wrinkled
Ifid tolled. His hands wore unwashed, his
rtw etrairgllnir locks uncombed, Ills room
via a, jumble' of filthy disorder. As tho boy
entered he saw tho great npo squatting upon
itie bed, tho coverlets of which were a
'. thtlcd wad of filthy blankets and 111-
tnciuna u'
At sight of tho youth tho npo leaped to
the tioor and shuffled forward. Tho man,
not recognlalnjr his visitor, and tearing that
Ui ape meant mischief, stepped between
thttA, ordering the npo back to the bed. '
"He will not hurt me," cried the boy.
TVe aro friends, and before, he was my
father's friend. Thoy knew one another In
the jungle. My father In Lord areyatoke.
fa mother forbade my coming; but I
wped to pes AJax, and I will pay you If
too will ici iiiu uuuiu .nuru uuen Hnu see

i At the mention of tho boy's Identity Paul
vHi'a eyes narrowed. Slnco ho had first
wtn Tarzan again from tho wlngn of the
t theatre thoro hadibeen forming In his dead
!' tned brain tho beginning of a deslro for
revenge.
H li characteristic of tho weak and crim
inal to attribute to others the misfortunes
that aro tho result of their bwn wickedness.
i and to now It was that Alexis Paulvltch
rm piowiy recalling mo ovonts or nis past
life, and, as ho did so, laying at tho door
Qt the man whom he and Hokoff had so
ueiauousiy uueuijjicu iu ruin anu mujacr,
ill the misfortunes that had befallen him
la the failure of their various schemes
Mjalnit their Intended victims.
He saw at first no way In which ha
could, with safety to himself, wreak von
'ntnee upon Tarzan through tho medium
of Tartan's son : but that great Dosalblll.
ytlte for revenge lay In tho boy wns ap-
'' Mrint to him. and SO he rlntnrmln,1 tn

lae zuiurv.
He told tho boy all that he knew of his
father's past life In tho junglo, and when
fcj found that Jock had been kept in Ig
norance of all these things for so many
this, and that he had been forbidden to
vUlt the zoological gardens; that he had
Ui to bind and gag his tutor to find nn
tpportunlty to come to tho music hall and
itt AJax, he guessed Immediately the na
tUn of the groat fear that lay In the hearts
of toe boy's parents that ho might cravo
tie Jungle as his father, had craved It.
And so Paulvltch encouraged the boy to
KtM and seo him often, and always ho
?'nfil upon the lad's craving for tales of
be tovage world, with which Paulvltch
ni ill too familiar. He left htm nlono
frith Akut much, and It was not lone until
hi wu surprised to learn that the boy
liti h lt0 B.rea.1. b?a8t understand h'rn
-that ho had nctually learned much of tho
primitive languago of tho anthropoids.
During this period Tarzan camo several
times to visit Paulvltch. He seemed anifous
to purchase Ajax, nnd at last he told tho
man frankly that he was prompted not
only by a deslro upon his part to return
the beast tp tho liberty of his native Jungle,
but also because his wlfo feared that In
somo way her Bon might learii the where
abouts of tho npennd through his attach
ment for tho beast, become Imbued with
tho roving Instinct which, as Tanan ex
plained to Paulvltch, had so Influenced his
own life.
The llusslan could searco repress a smile,
ns ho listened to Hord Qrcystoke's words!
for scare a half hbur had passed since tho
futuro Lord Qreystoke had been sitting
caped with his llfs. Alt that saved him
was the accidental presence of Jack Clay
ton, who had been permitted to- visit the
anlnM In the dressing room reserved for
hlm'Htothe muslo hall, and had Immediately
Interfered when he saw that tho savage
beast meant serious mischief. .
And after the money consideration, strong
In the heart of the Russian was the desire
for revenge. This had been growing with
constant brooding over tho failures and
miseries of his life, which ho attributed to
Tarzan; the latest and by no means tho
least of which was AJax's refusal longer
to earn money for him.
The sjpe's refusal he traced directly to
Tarzan, finally convincing himself that the
npeman had Instructed tho great nnthro-
pom to retuso to go upon the stago.
Paulvltoh'a naturally malign disposition
,
Tho old man stamped his foot angrily. "Como here, I tell you."
upon the disordered bed Jabbering away to was aggravatod by the weakening nnd
AJax with all tho fluoncy of a born ape.
It was during this Intorvlow that a plan
occurred to Paulvltch, and an a result of
It ho agreed to accept a fabulous sum for
the ape, and upon receipt of the money to
deliver the bdast to :i vessel that was sail
ing south from Dover for Africa two days
later.
Ho had a double purposo In ncccptlng
Clayton's offer. Primarily, tha money con
sideration Influenced him strongly, as the
apo was no longer a source of revenue to
him, having consistently refused to por
form upon tho stago after having discov
ered Tarzan. It was ns though tho beast
had Buffered himself to bo brought from
his junglo home and exhibited before thou
sands of curious spectators for the solo
purposo of searching out his long-lost friend
and master, nnd, having found him, con
sidered further mingling with the common
herd of humans unnecessary.
However that may be? tho fact remained,
that no amount of persuasion could Influ
ence him even to show himself upon the
muslo halt stago; nnd upon the single
occasion that tho trainer attempted force,
the results were such that tho unfortunate
man considered himself lucky to have os-
warplng of his mental and physical facul
ties through torturo and privation. From
cold, calculating, highly Intelligent perver
sity It had deteriorated Into tho Indiscrimi
nately dangerous menaco of tho mentally
defective.
Ills plan, however, was sufficiently cun
ning nt least to cast a doubt upon the as
sertion that his mentality was waning. It
assured him first of tho competence, which
Lord Grcystoka had promised to pay him
for tho deportation of the ape, And then
tho revenge upon his benefactor through
tho son ho Idolized.
That part of his schemo was crude and
brutal It lacked tho refinement of torture
that had marked the master strokes of the
Paulvltch of old, whon he hnd worked with
that virtuoso of villainy, Nicholas Itokoff
but It at Jeast assured Paulvltch of Im
munity from responsibility, placing that
upon the npo( who would thus also bo pun
ished for his refusal longer to support the
Russian.
Everything played with fiendish unanim
ity Into Paulvltch's hands. As chanco
would have i, Tarzan's son overheard his
father relating to tho boy'a mother the
steps ho was talcing to return Akut safely

FARMER SMITH'S GOAT BOOK
Can Billy Bumpus Fly7
After Billy Bumpus' first battle. In which
he destroyed tho looking-glass, thinking lt
was another goat, the first day he left
his house, this Is the way he looked:
His ear was bandaged, his eye was cov
ered with a piece of plaster nnd his mouth
was all tied up with bandageB.
As he went down tho road, thinking how
brave he had been, and what lt must be Ilka
to be Mn a real battle, ho heard a tiny
voice, underneath him, saying:
"Walt a minute, wait a mlnuto," and
looking down he saw Missus Ant.
"I hear you are going to war," said tho
Little Lady. '
"Yes, Indeed," said Billy, and then he
added brightly, "I have had my first bat
tle." "You look like lt," said Missus Ant, and
then she aaked:
"May I Inquire what part of the army
you are going to be In Infantry, artillery
or cavalry?"
Billy had to think very fast and then he
said:
"I am going to be In the Zeppelin de
partment" "Is that the department that stops the
bullets?"
"No," said Billy sincerely, "it's the de,
partment that files In the air."
"WHAT!" exclaimed Missus Ant, "who
ever heard of a goat flying?"
"Well, of all things," said Billy Bumpus,
"every one In the whole world, excepting an
ant, knows that a goat can fly,"
iWell," said Missus Ant, "If you can fly,
suppose you just try. Spread your wings
and fly off that bluff."
"Well," said Billy, "of course I have
to have a little time, and If you will be
right on the edge .of the bluff, at 3 o'clock
tomorrow, I will surely fly off to tho land
below, and prove to you that I am the
brave Billy Bumpus I say I am."
And Bure enough, at 3 o'clock the next
day, Billy Bumpus appeared at the bluff,
much to the surprise ot Missus Ant, Billy's
wife and Billy himself.
Branch Club News
Mabel Tullna sends In the following re
port of her branch club; "Our branch club
Is getting along very nicely and we tmve
now 25 members. WO have great times at
our Thursday meetings. We make aprons,
caps and petticoats, we read stories, sing
and do many other Interesting things.
On the SOth of April we had an enter
tainment at my house. We had singing,
dancing, refreshments, games, and I played
the piano. Our vice president, Christine
Clandarullo, Is quite a violinist. I played
with her on the SOth at our house 'La
Lucia del Lammermoor.' The members of
our club say they can't wait until Thurs
day comes for the meeting. We get along
as If we were all 'sisters and never have the
least ot a cross word to say to one another,
My brother Nicholas wants to belong to the
club, too, and he and his boy friends are
going to form another branch club.
The name of our club Is the 'Branch
Club Bunnies.' We do not like that very
well and would like to have you suggest
another name for us. Will you, please?"
A thorough, satisfying report such as this
deserves the granting of any request and
we more than gladly volunteer these few
suggestions for a new name. In the first
place, we think that by prefixing Rainbow
to your present name, thus making "llain
bow Branch Club Bunnies," you will have
about as pretty a name a you can And, but
If you do not like that here are some more
names: "The Happy Time Rainbows.' "The
Blng and Sew Rainbows" and "The Friend
ly Rays."
W are very ovrjoyd to hear that
brother Is roinjr to follow Your good cjc-
arople n form branch club. With alt 1
to his Jungle home, nnd, having overheard,
ho begged them to bring tha npo home that
he might have him for a playfellow. Tnr
san would not havo been nverso to this
plan; but Lady Oreystoke was horrified at
the very thought of lt.
Jack pleaded wltlt his mother, but nil un
avattlngly. She was obdurato, and at Inst
tho lad Appeared to acqulesco In his moth
er's decision thnt the ape must be returned
to Africa nnd tho boy to sohool, from which
ho had been abaont upon a vacation.
He did not nttompt to visit Paulvltch's
room again that day, but Instead busied
himself In other wnys. He had always
been well supplied with money, so that
whon necessity demanded he had no dim
cutty In collecting several hundred pounds.
Somo of this money he Invested In vari
ous strange" purchases which ho managed
to smugglo Into the house undetected when
ho returned late In tho aftornon.
The next morning, after giving his father
time to precede him nnd ooncluda his bunl
ness with l'aulvltch, the lad hastened to
tho Russian's room. Knowing nothing of
tho man's truo character, tho boy dared
not take him fully Into his confidence for
fear that the old fellow would not only-.ro-fuso
him aid, but would report tho whole
nffntr to his father.
Instead, ho simply asked permission to
tnlto AJax to Dover. Ho explained thnt
It would retlove the old man ot a tlrcsomo
Journey, as well las placing a number of
pounds In his pocket; for tho lad purposed
paying tho Russian woll.
"You see," ho went on, "thero will bo no
danger of detection, slnco I nm supposed
to bo leaving on an afternoon train for
school. Instead, I will come hero after
thoy'vo left mo on tho trnln. Then I enn
tako AJax to Dover, you seo, and arrive nt
school only n day late. No ono will bo tha
wiser, no harm will bo done, nnd I shall
have had an oxtra day with AJax beforo I
lose him forever."
Tho plan fitted perfectly with that which
Paulvltch had In mind. Had ho known
what further tho boy contemplated ho
would, doubtless have cntlroly nbnndoned
his own schemo of rovongo nnd aided whole
heartedly In tho consummation of tho lad's.
Which would havo been better for Paul
vltch could he havo read tho futuro but a
fow short hours ahead.
That afternoon Lord and Lady drey
stoko bade their son good-by and saw him
ftafcly settled In a first-class compartment
of tho railway carriage that would set him
down nt school In n few hours. No sooner
had they left him. however, than ho gath
ered his bags together, descended from tho
compartment and sought a cabstand out
side the station Hero ho engaged a cabby
to tako him to the Russian's address.
It was dusk when he arrived. Ha found
Paulvltch awaiting him. The man was
pacing the floor nervously.
The ape was tied with a stout cord to
tho bed, It was tho first time that Jack
had ever Been AJax thus secured.
Ho looked qucsttonlngly nt Paulvltch.
The man mumbllngly explained that ho be
lieved the animal had guessed that he was
to bo sent away, and that ho feared ho
would attempt to cBcnpc.
Paulvltch carried another piece ot cord
In his hand. Thero was a noose In ono end
of it which he was continually playing
with. He walked back and forth, up nnd
down tho room. His pockmarked features
were working horribly as he talked silently
to himself. Tho boy had never seen him
thus It made him uneasy.
At last Paulvltch stopped on the oppo
site side of tho room far from the ape.
"Como horo," he said to the lad. "I will
show you how to eecuro the ape should ho
show signs of rebellion during the trip."
Tho lad laughed. "It will not be neces
sary," ho replied. "AJax will do whatever
I tell him to do."
The old man stamped his foot angrily.
"Como here, I tell you," he repeated. "If
you do not do ns I say you shall not ac
company the npe to Dover I will take no
chances upon his escaping." '
Still smiling, the lad crossed the room
and stood before the Ruas.
"Turn around, with your back toward
me," directed the latter, "so I can show
you how to bind him quickly."
Tho boy did as he was bid, placing his
hands behind him when Paulvltch told him
to do so. Instantly the old man slipped
tho running noose over one of the lad's
wrists, took a couplo ot half hitches about
hlB other waist, and knotted the cord.
The moment that the boy was secured
the attitude of the man changed. With
an angry oath he wheeled his prisoner
about, tripped him, and hurled him violent
ly to the floor, leaping upon his breast as
he fell. From the bed tho ape growled and
struggled with his bonds.
Tha boy did not cry out a trait Inherited
from hla savage sire, whom long years in
the Jungle following the death ot his foster-mother.
Kala, tho great ape, had taught
'that there was none to come to the succor
of the fallen.
Paulvltch's fingers sought the lad's
throat. He grinned down horribly Into
the face of his victim.
"Your father ruined me," he mumbled.
"This will pay htm. He will think that the
ape did It I will tell him the ape did it.
That I left him alone for a few minutes
and that you sneaked In and the ape
kilted you. I will throw your body upon
the bed after I have choked the life out of
you, nnd when I bring your father he will
see tho ape squatting over It," and the
twisted fiend cackled in gloating laughter.
His fingers closed upon the boy's throat.
Behind them the growling of the mad
dened beast reverberated against the walls
of tho little room. The boy paled, but no.
other Blgn ot fear or panto showed upon
his countenance. He was the son of Tar
zan. The fingers tightened their grip upon
his throat. It was with difficulty that he
breathed gaspingly,
The ape lunged against the stout cord
that held him. Turning, he wrapped the
cord about his hands, as a man might have
done, and surged heavily backward. The
great muscles stood out beneath his shaggy
hide.
There was1 a rending as of splintered
wood the cord held, but; a portion ot the
footboard of the bed came away.
At the sound Paulvltch looked up. His
hideous faco went white In terror the ape
was free)
With a single bound the creature was
upon him. The man shrinked. The brute
wrenched him from the body of the boy,
Oreat fingers sank Into his flesh. Yellow
fangs gaped close to his throat he strug
gled, futllely and then they closed, and
tha soul ot Alexis Paulvltch passed into
the keeping of the demons who had long
been awaiting It,
The boy struggled to hla feet, assisted
by Akut. For two hours, under his In
structions, the ape worked upon the knots
that secured his friend's wrists. Finally
they gave up their secret, and the boy was
free.
He cut the cord that still dangled from
the ape's body. Then he opened one of his
bags and drew forth some garments.
Hla plans had been well made. He did
not consult the beast, which did all that he
directed. Together they slunk from the
house, but no casual observer might have
noted one ot them was an ape.

for a few days. Lord Oreyatoko road of It,
and, while taking special precautions not
to permit his name to become connected
with the affair, kept himself well posted
hi to tho police search for the anthropoid.
As wns truo of tho general public, his
chief Interest In the matter centred about
tho mysterious disappearance ot the slayer.
Or, at toast, this was true until ho learned,
soverat days subsequent to tho tragedy,
that hla son Jack had not reported nt the
boarding school, en route for which they
had Been him safely ensconced In n rail,
way cnrrlngc.
Even then tho father did not connect tho
dlsappcaranco of his Bon with tho mystery
surrounding tho whereabouts of tho apo.
Nor was lt until a month lator, when care
ful Investigation revealed tho fact that tha
boy had left tho train boforo It pulled out
of tho station at London, and the cab
driver had been found who had driven him
to tho address of tho old llusslan, that
Tarzan of tho Apos realised that Akut
had In somo way been connectod with tho
disappearance of the boy.
Beyond tho momont that the cabdrlvor
had deposited his faro bcsldo tho curb
In front of tho house In which the llusslan
had been quartered there wns no cluo. No
ono had seen either tho boy or tho npo
from that Instant at loast, no ono who
still .llvod. Tho proprietor of tho house
Identified tho picture of the lad as that
of ono who had been a frequent visitor
In tho room of the old man. Asldo from
this ho knew nothing.
And there, at tho door of n grimy old
building In the slums of London, tho
scarchcrB camo to n blank wall baffled.
Tho day following tho (loath of Aloxls
Taulvltch, a youth, accompanying his In
valid grandmother, boarded a steamer nt
Dover. Tho old lady was hcnvlly veiled
nnd so wcukened by ngo nnd sickness thnt
bIio had .to bo whcolod aboard tho vessel
In nu Invalid chair.
Tho boy would pormlt no ono but him
self to wheel hor, and with his own hnnds
assisted hor from tho chair to tho Interior
of their ntatcroom and that was tho last
that was seen of tho old lady by tho ship's
company until tho pair discmbnrked. Tha
boy ovon Inslstod upon doing the work of
their cabin steward, since, as ho explained,
his grnndmothor was aufTerlng from a
nervous Indisposition that mado tho prcs
enco of strangers extromely distasteful to
her.
Outside tho cabin and nono thoro waa
aboard who know what he did within tho
cabin tho lad was Just as any other
healthy, normal I'.ngllsh boy might have
been. Ho mingled with his fellow pas
sengers, becamo a prlmo favorite with tho
officers, and struck up numerous friend
ships among the common sailors. Ho was
generous and unaffected, yet carried nn
air of dignity and strength of character
that Inspired his mnny new friends with
admiration as well ob affection for him.
Among tho passengers thoro was an
American named Conlon, a blackleg and
a crook, who was "wanted" In half n dozen
of tho larger cities of tho United States.
Ho had paid llttlo attention to tho boy
until on one occasion ho had seen him ac
cidentally display a roll of banknotes.
From then on Conlon cultivated the youth
ful Briton.
Ho learnod oaslly enough thnt the boy
was traveling alone with his Invalid grand
mother, and that their destination was a
small port on the west coast of Africa, a
llttlo below tho equator; that tholr name
waB Billings, and that they had no friends
In the little settlement for which they wero
bound. Upon the point of their purpose In
visiting the place, Conlon found the boy
reticent, and so he did not push tho matter
ho had learned nil that ho cared to know
as It was.
Several times Conlon attempted to draw
the lad Into a card game; but his victim
was not Interested, and the black looks of
several of the other men passengers decided
the American to find othor means of trans
ferring tho boy's bankroll to his own pocket.
,At last came tho day that the steamer
dropped anchor In the lea ot a wooded
promontory, where a score or more of
sheetlron shacks, making an unsightly blot
upon the fair face of nature, proclaimed the
fact that civilization had set Its heel.
Straggling upon the outskirts were the
thatched huts of natives, picturesque in
their primeval savagery, harmonizing with
the backtrrouna or tropical jungle ana ac
centuating the squalid hldeousnesB of the
white man's pioneer architecture.
The boy, leaning over the rail, was look
ing far beyond the man-made town deep
Into the God-made jungle. A little jhlver
of anticipation tingled his spine; and then,
quite without volition, he found himself
mentally gazing Into the loving oyea of his
mother and the strong face of the father
which mirrored beneath Its masculine
strength a love no less than the mother's
eyes proclaimed, He felt himself weaken
ing In his resolve.
Nearby one of the ship's officers was
shouting orders to a flotilla of x native
boats that was approaching to lighten the
consignment of the steamer's cargo destined
for this tiny port.
"When does the next steamer for Eng
land touch here?" the boy asked.
"The Emmanuel ought to be along 'most
any tlmo now," replied the officer. "I fig
ured we'd find her here," and he went on
with his bellowing remarks to the dusky
horde drawing close to the steamer's side.
The task of lowering the boy's grand
mother over the Bide to a watting canoe
was rather difficult. Tho lad Insisted on
being always at her side, and when at last
she was safely ensconced In the bottom
of the craft that was to bear them shore
ward her grandson dropped catlike after
her, ,.
So Interested was he In seeing her com
fortably disposed that he failed to observe
the little package that had worked from his
pocket as he assisted in lowering the sling
that contained the old woman over the
steamer's side; nor did he notice It even
as It slipped out entirely and dropped into
the sea.

Cnrc of Evergreens
Evergreens may be planted several weeks
lator than deciduous trees.
Evergreens in confined places, planted
whero they cannot fulty develop, may be
clipped and kept In shape and at the size
desired. Arbor vltae, hemlocks, spruces
and Juniper can all be treated In this man
ner. The pruning causes dense growth
and makes very beautiful thick specimens.
Especially is this true of tho Norway
spruce, which when allowed to grow natur
ally that is, single specimens become
open, and by cutting off the head when 10
or 12 feet high It will form a compact and
beautiful tree. The white pine will stand
pruning, but most ot the pines do best when
permitted to grow on naturally.
In pruning always cut back to a bud
so the new growth will start from tho, very
tip end of the remaining part.
Some evergreens become bare at the base
and are unsightly. The remedy Is to head
them back and trim the side branches. It
a head or leader Is lost in any conifer, as .a
sometimes the case, a side shoot tied In an
erect position will soon assume the position
of new leader. Leaders Bhould not be al
lowed to form on side branches, as they
sometimes do.
Hardy Perennial Plants
All hardy plants can be set out now.
The earlier the better, providing the ground
Is dry enough to work. Plants In the hardy
border should be dug up and reset If they
aro crowded. Usually this should be dono
every three years. Those with many
fibrous roots and buds can bo divided with
n. sharp spade, so that half a dozen eyes
are loft on each clump. Thoso having
coarse roots should bo divided with a Unlfo
and each pleco of root should havo at least
ono eye.

Let him In his long watching know
Thnt I, too, count tho mlnutos slow
And light tho lamp of love for him.
The sight of death, the sleep forlorn,
Tha old homesickness vast and dumb
Amid thoso things so brav.My borne.
Let my long thoughts abovo him com.

So young ho Is so dear to me,
With ever-ready sympathy "
And wistful oyes and cheerful smile.
