CHAPTER VI.
In the Jungle
S first night In tho jungle was ono
hlclt tho son of Tarzan held longest
In his memory. No savnge carnlvora men
aced him. There wns) never n sign of hid
eous barbarian, or It there were the boy's
troubled mind took no cognizance ot them.
His conscience) was Harassed by tho
thought of his mother's suffering. Self-
blame plunged him Into the depths of
misery
The killing ot the American caused him
little or no remorse. The rellow hnd earned
his fate. Jack's regret ort this score was
duo mainly to tho effect which tho death
of Conlon hnd had upon his own plans.
Now he could not return directly to his
parents as he had planned. Fcnr of the
primitive borderland law, of which ho had
rend highly colored, Imaginary tnlen, had
thrust him Into tho Jungle a fugitive. JIo
dared not return to the coast nt this point
hot thnt ho wns so grcntly Influenced through
pcrsonnl fcnr as from n desire to shield his
father and mother from further sorrow nnd
from iho shnme of hnvlng their honored
nnme dragged through the sordid degrada
tion ot a murder trial.
With returning day the boy's spirits rose.
With the rising sun came now hopo within
his breast. Ho would return lo civiliza
tion by nnothe: way. None would guess that
he had been connected with tho killing o
tho stranger In tho llttlo out-of-the-way
trading post upon n remote shore.
Crouched closo to tho great 'npo In tho
crotch of n tree, tho boy had shivered
through nn almost sleepless night. Ills
light pajamas hnd been but llttlo protection
from tho chill dampness of the Jungle, and
only that side ot him which wns pressed
ngnlnst tho warm body of his shaggy com
panion approximated comfort. And so ho
welcomed the rising sun with Its promlso
of warmth ns well as light tho blessed sun,
dlspcllcr of physical nml mental Ills.
He shook Akut Into wnkcfulncss.
"Come," ho said. "I nm cold nnd hungry.
Wo will search for food out there In tho
sunlight," nnd ho pointed to nn open plain,
dotted vytth stunted trees nnd strewn with
Jngged rock.
Tho boy slid lo the ground ns ho spoke,
but tho npo flrst looked carefully nbout.l
snining tho morning nlr. Then, sattsflcil
that lio danger lurked nenr, ho descended
slowly to tho ground besldo tho boy.
"Numa nnd Sabor, his mate, feast Upon
those who descend flrst and look nftcrward,
whllo thoso who look flrst and descend uft
crward live to feast themselves." Thus tho
old npo Imparted to tho son of Tarzan the
boy's flrst lesson In Jungle lore.
Sldo by side they sot oft ncros3 the
rough plain, for tho boy wished llrsfto be
warm. Tho npe showed him tho best places
lo dig for rodents nnd worms, but the Ind
only gagged nt tho thought of devouring
tho repulsive tilings. Some eggs they found,
and these ho sucked raw, ns also ho nto
roots and tubers which Akut unearthed.
Ueyond the plain and across a low bluff
they camo upon water brackish, Ill-smelling
sturt In a shallow watcrholc. A herd of
zebra galloped away as they approached.
The lad was too thirsty by now to cnvll
nt anything even remotely resembling
water; so ho drank his All while Akut stood
with raised head, alert for nny danger. He
foro the npe drunk he cautioned tho boy to
bo watchful, but ns ho drank ho raised his
head from time to time to cast a quick
glance toward a clump of bushes n hundred
yards away upon tho opposlto sldo ot tho
water hole.
When 'lio had done he rose nnd snoko
to the boy In the langunge that was
their common heritage the tongue of tho
great apes.
"There Is no danger near?" ho asked.
"None," replied tho boy. "I saw nothing
move whllo you drank."
"Your eyes will help ou butallttlo In tho
Jungle." said the npe. "Here, if you would
live you must depend upon your enrs nnd
your nose, but most upon your nose. When
wo camo down to drink nnd I saw the zebras
as they caught our scent I knew that no
danger lurked nenr upon this sldo of tho
wnter hole, for else tho zebrns would liavo
discovered it and lied beforo wo came; but
upon tho other sliio toward which the
wind blows danger might lln concealed. Wo
could Hot smell It, for Us scent Is being
blown In tho other direction; and so 1 bent
my cars and eyes down-wind whero my noso
cannot travel."
"And you found nothing?" nsked tho
lad with a laugh.

RAINBOW CLUB
CONSIDER THE STREET CAR CONDUCTOR
Dearest Children I have, a beautiful gamo all by myself when I ride on a
street car and I want to tell you about it. I try to imagine what tho conductor
Is thinking; about. Isn't that grand?
Did YOU ever stop to consider what a street car conductor has to do day
after day, hour after hour, year after year? He has to sit or stand at the end
of a moving car from morning until night or night until morning and BE
POLITE.
It is very tiresome sometimes riding on a street car we are not always
fortunate enough to sit next to tho window and wo have to think about some
thing, or read a newspaper. No matter what wo do, there is always an interrup
tion, for some fat lady with a big basket is likely to come in and sit next to us
and "squdge" the life almost out of us. Or, just as wo are comfortably thinking
of something beautiful, nnother lady gets on tho car with a little piece of paper
In her hand which she gives tho conductor.
"I tell you I did. I just got off that other car and you know I did! ! WHAT?
Ill report you for your impudence, so there! Pay another fare? I guess NOT!
You must think I am a millionairess."."
The lady seems to bo very much excited, but she pays her faro 'just the
ame. Then I look at tho poor tired conductor and wonder what he is thinking
about. Ho doesn't seem to mind, howover.
Perhaps the conductor has children nt home, so I try to be kind to him. I
mile when I hand him my faro and say, politely, "Nice day." It may bo
raining, but it's a nice day for somebody, somewhere, so I let it go at that.
I think it would bo n good idea, if your father is a street car conductor, to
tekind to him when he gets home. I wish you would take off his shoes and bring
Wm his paffc and mako him feel at home. Ho has a hard dny.
If you like MY GAME, supposo you play it tho next time you ride on a
ttreet car and then write and tell me of your trip. After you do, you will never
think a street car rido is tiresome.
Oh, yes You might try smiling at tho conductor, ho will appreciate it

A True Story
By BERTHA C1IILDS, ftanvtlle. Pa.
J. want to tell a story about my Easter
basket and what was In it when I found
It this Easter. I was not pleased with
It because the nrst thing J saw was
mother's big market basket with a small
Easter basket In the centre of t and
nothing but paper all t-round the small
basket. But when I took out the small
basket and pulled out the paper, what do
ypu think I found in the bottom ot the big
basket? Why a pair of ball-bearing skates !
Something I wanted for so long! Then I
knew mother was having a little fun with
me, but I tell you It has taught ma a
lesson! I am not to get naughty when
things don't Just suit met
"1 found Numa crouching In that dump
of bushes where th6 tall grass grows," and
Akut pointed.
"A Hon'" cried the boy. "How do you
know? I can fteo nothing."
"Numa is thero, though," replied the
great npe. "First t heard him sigh. Td
you the sigh of Numa may sound no dif
ferent from tho other noises which the wind
mnkes among tho grasses nnd tho trees, but
later you must learn to know tho sigh of
Numa. Then I watched, nnd nt last I saw
tho tall grasses moving nt ono point to n
forco other than tho force of the wind. See,
thoy nro spread thero upon either sldo of
Numa's great body, nnd'ns ho breathes
you sce7 You seo tho llttlo motion nt cither
sldo Hint Is not caused by tho wind--tho
motion that, nono of tho 'other grasses
havo?"
Tho boy strained his eyes better eyes
than the ordinary boy Inherits and at last
ho gavo a llttlo exclnmatlon of discovery.
"Yes," ho said, "I sec. Ho lies there,"
and ho pointed, "His head Is toward us.
Is ha watching us?"
"Numa Is wn'tchlng us." replied Akut;
"but wo nro In llttlo danger Unless we ap
proach 'too close, for ho is lying upon his
kill. His belly Is almost full, or wo should
hear him crunching tho bones. Ho is
watching us In silence, merely from
curiosity. Presently ho will resume his
feeding, or he will rlso nnd como down to
tho wntcr-holo for a drink. As ho neither
tears or desires us, he will not try to hldo
his presence from Us; but now Is nn ex
cellent tlmo to know Numa, for you must
learn to know Him well If you would live
long In tho junglo. Where tho great npos
aro many, Numa lenves us alone. Our
fangs nro long nnd strong nnd we enn
light, but when wo nro alono nnd ho Is
hungry, wo are no match for him.
"Como, we will clrclo him nnd catch his
scent. Tho sooner you learn to know It tho
belter; but keep closo to the trees ns we
go around him, for Numa often does that
which ho Is least expected to do. And
keep cars nnd your ycs and your nose
open. Remember always that there may bo
nn enemy behind every bush, in ocry treo
nnd nmong every clump of Jungle-grass.
Whllo you aro nvoldlng Nunm, do not run
into tho Jaws of Sabor, his mnte. Follow
mo," and Akut set oft In a wldo clrclo nbout
tho water-hole. '
The boy followed closo upon his heels,
his every senso upon the nlert, his nerves
keyed to the highest pitch of excitement.
This was life!
For the Instnnt ho forgot his resolution
of a few minutes ago to hnslen to tho
const nt sonio oilier point than that at
which he hnd landed nnd mako his way
Immediately back to London. Ho thought
now only of the savago Joy ot living, and
of pitting ono's wits and prowess ngnlnst
tho wiles and might ot tho savage Jungle
brood which haunted the broad plains nnd
the gloomy forest aisles of tho great, un
tamed continent.
Ho knew no fear. Ills father had had
nono to transmit to him ; but honor nnd
conscience ho did have, nnd thoso were lo
troublo him many times ns they battled
with his Inherent lovo of freedom for pos
session of his soul.
They had passed but n short dlstanco to
the rear of Numa when tho boy caught
tho unpleasant odor of tho carnivore. Ills
fnco lighted with n smile. Something told
him that ho would havo known that scent
among a myriad of others, even If Akut
had not told him that a lion lay near.
There was n strango familiarity a weird
familiarity In It that made tho short hairs
rlso at tho nape ot his neck nnd bi ought
his upper lip Into nn Involuntary sunt I
that bared his fighting fangs. Thero wns
a sense of stretching of tho skill nbout bis
cars, fur all tho world as though those
members were flattening back against his
skull In preparation for deadly combat.
His skin tingled. Ho was aglow with a
pleasurablo sensntlon that lio never beforo
had known. Ho was. upon tho Instant, an
other creature wary, alert, ready.
Thus did tho scent of Numa, tho Hon,
transform tho boy Into n beast.
Ho had never soon n lion Ills mother
had gono to too great pains lo prevent It.
But ho bad devoured countless pictures of
them, and now ho was ravenous lo fenst his
eyes upon the king of beasts In the llesh.
As ho tt ailed AUut ho kept an ee cocked
over ono shoulder rearward, in tho hope
that Nnma might rbe from bis kill nnd re
venl himself. Thus It happened that he
dropped some llttlo way behind Akut, nnd
tho next ho knew ho was recalled suddenly
to the contemplation of oilier matters than
tho hidden Numa by n shrill scream of
warning from Iho npe.
Turning his oyo quickly In tho direc
tion ot his companion, tho boy saw that
htnnding In tho path directly beforo lilm
which sent tremors ot excitement racing
tluough Is body!
CHAPTKlt VII
V The First (ircat Kill ""
WITH body half emerging from a clump
of bushes In which sho must havo Iain
hidden stood a sleek nnd beautiful lioness.
Her yellow-green eyes were round nnd
staring, boring straight liito tho oyos of tho
boy. Not ten paces separated them.
Twenty paces behind the lioness stood
the great ape, bellowing instructions to the
boy, and hurling taunts nt tho lioness In
an evident effort to attract her attention
from tho lad so ho could gain tho shelter of
a nearby tree.
But Sabor was pot to be diverted. Sho
had her eyes upon tho lad. He stood be
tween her nnd her mate, between nor nnd
tho kill. It was suspicious. Probably lio
had ulterior designs upon her lord nnd
master or upon tho fruits of their hunt

ANNUALS CLASSIFIED
FOR HOME FLOWER BED
By JOHN BARTRAM
D
ESP1TE tho necessity of rcplnntlng
each year, annuals are favored by
many home gardeners. One reason Is that
with n small outlay 5 cents a packet
usually a varied nnd fine display may bo
arranged. Planting annuals can bo done
either under glass for transplanting to In
sure extra enrly bloom. In n seed bed for
bedding nnd borders later, or directly In Iho
plnco whore the minimis are to stand. Pop
ples nnd nasturtiums should not bo trans
planted on nccount of their fleshy, fragile
roots,
Mellow soil, finely pulverized nnd dug
over about a foot deep should bo pro
vided. Annuals do not ordinarily require
so much fertilization as perennials, but It
Is nlways wise to dig in thoroughly a pound
of bone Incnl or powdered sheep manure to
20 square feet of garden nrca.
Where a border Is desired, a drill or
light furrow ono-hnlf Inch deep may bo
made around tho edgo of tho bed with n
smnll stick nnd tho seed sown thinly In
this drill nnd lightly covered with tho flno
surface soil. Sweet nlyssum, portulnca,
mignonette nnd other low-growing plants
are well suited for tills purpose.
For larger growing plnnts, such nn marl
golds, zinnias, stocks, sunllowcrs nnd
scarlet sage, It Is better to sow tho seed
thinly In shallow drills six or eight Inches
apart In the border or other seedbed, nnd
when well started transplant them Into In
tho afternoon to the llowcrbcd, ns they
can then bo set nt regular distances.
When thinning or transplanting chooso
the tlmo nfter a good soaking rnln, or clso
mako tho ground where they nro to bo
plnnted thoroughly wet a short tlmo In
advance. Tako tho plnnts up carefully
with nil tho roots possible, nnd mako ti
hole sulTlciently large, so that they may
bo spread out In planting. Draw tho boII
over the roots and slightly up around tho
stem anil press firmly down. Then, If tho
soil Is dry enough to crumble, glvo the
fresh-set plnnts a good sprinkling, nnd
If the next day Is clear and sun shining,
shade with n newspaper through the hot
test pnrt ot tho day.
