Tr IS thus," ho said, "that Jungle folk
JLdte. We go cautiously for a lifetime,
ind then. Just for an Instant, we forget, and
" He ground hla teeth In mimicry of
the crunching or groat Jaws In llosh. "It
Is a lesson," ho resumed. "You havo learned
that you may not for too long keep your
eyes nnd your cars and your noso all bent
In the same direction."
That night tho uon of Tarran was colder
than he ever had been In alt hla life. The
pajama trousers had not been heavy; but
they had been much heavier than nothing.
And tho next day ho roasted In tho hot
suit, for again their way led much across
wldo and tre'elcsa plains.
It was still in the boy's mind to travel
to tho south and circle bach to tho oast
In search of another outpost of civilization.
He had said nothing of this plan to Akut,
for he knew that tho old ape would look
with displeasure upon any suggestion that
nvored of reparation.
"For a month tho two vvnndpred on, tho
boy learning rapidly tho lawn of tho Junglo,
,T us?c" ndRntlnff themselves to tho new

hardening of use to develop them,
Tho lad 'found that It camo qulto natur
ally to him to swing through Ihe trees.
h'1". ".' ?rcnt I'e'ehW he never felt the
Rllghtest dizziness, and when ho had
caught the knack of, the swing nnd tho re
lease ho could hurl himself from branch to
branch with -oven greater agility that! tho
heavier Akut.
And wltli exposure camo a toughening
and hardening ofMili smooth, white skin,
browning new beneath tho Run and wind,
Ho had removed lilt pajama Jacket duo day
to bathe In a little stream that was too
small to harbor crocodiles, nnd while ho
and Akut had been disporting themselves
In tho cool waters a monkey had dropped
down from tho overhanging trees, snatched
up the boy's single "remaining article of
civilized garmenture nnd scampered oft
with It.
For a tlmo 'Jack was angry; but when
ho had been without the Jacket for a shorJ
while ho began to realize that being half
clothed Is Infinitely more uncomrortablo
than being entirely naked. Soon he did not
miss his clothing In tho least, and from
that he camo to revel In the freedom of
now. They would envy him. Yes, howtthey
would envy him!
Occasionally a smllo would cross hli
face as ho tried to Imagine tho surprise of
his schoolmatca could they but seo him
his unhampered state.
Ho felt sorry for them at, such tlmH ;
and again, as ho thought of them amid the
luxuries and comforts of their I-ngllsh
homes, happy with their fathers and
mothers, a most uncomfortable lump would
rlso Into tho boy'a throat, and ho would see
a vision of hla mother's face through a
blur of mist that camo unbidden to his eycH.
Then it wns that ho urged Akut onward,
for now they were headed westward toward
tho coast. Tho old ape thought that they
were searching for a trlbo of his own kind,
nor did the boy disabuse tils mind of this
conviction. It would do to tell Akut of his
real plans when they had come within sight
of civilization.
Ono day, as they were moving slowly
along beside a river they camo unexpectedly
upon a native Hinge. Somo children wcro
playing besldo tho water.
The boy's heart leaped within his breast
at sight of them for more than a month
ho had seen no human being. What If
theso were nnked ravages? What If their
skins were black? , Wcro thoy not crea
tures fashioned (In the mold of their Maker
na was ho? Thoy weio hla brothers and
slaters ! He started toward them.
With a low warning Akut laid a hand
upon his nim to hold him back. Tho boy
shook himself free, nnd with a shout of
greeting, ran forwnrd toward the ebon
players.
Tho sound of his voice brought every
head oicct Wldo eyes vlowcd him for an
Instant, and then, with Bcrcams of terror,
tho children turned and (led townrd tho
village. At their heels ran their mothers,
and from the village gate. In response to tho
alarm, came a score of warrloia, hastily
(matched speara and shields ready in their
hands.
At sight of tho consternation ho had
wrought, tho boy halted. The glad smile
faded from his faco as with wild shouts
and menacing gestures tho warriors ran
toward him. Akut was calling to him from
behind tq turn nnd llee ; that the blacks
would kill him.
For a moment ho stood watching them
coming, then he raised his hand with tho
palm toward them In signal for them to
halt, calling out at tho samo time that
he camo as a friend that ho had only
wanted to play with their children.
Of course, they did not understand a
word that ho addressed to them, and their
answer was what any naked creature who
had run suddenly out of tho Junglo upon
their women nnd children might havo ex
pected a shower of spear. 'The missiles
struck nil about tho boy, but none touched
him. '
Again his spine tingled, nnd tho abort
hairs lifted at the napo of his neck nnd
along tho top of his scalp. His' eyes nar
rowed. Sudden hatred flared In them to
wither the expression of glad friendliness
that had lighted lllcm but an Instant before.
With a low Bnarl, qulto similar to that
of a ba(Icd beast, he turned' and ran Into
tho Jungle. There was Akut awaiting him
In n tree. Tho npo urged him to hasten
In Might, for tho wise old anthropoid knew
that thoy two, naked nnd unarmed, were
no match for tho sinewy black wnrrlors
who would doubtless mako somo sort of
search for them through tho Jungle
But a new power moved tho son of Tar
zan. Ho hnd como with a hpy'a glad and
open heart to offer his friendship to theso
people who were human beings like himself
Ho had been met with suspicion nnd spears
They hnd not even listened to him. Itngo
and hatred consumed him.
When Akut urged speed ho held back
Ho wanted to right. ; yet tils reason mado It
oil loo plain that It would bo but a foolish
sacrifice of his llfo to meet these nrmed
men with hla naked hands and his teeth.
Already the boy thought of his teeth, of his
fighting fangs when possibility of combat
loomed close.
Moving slowly through tho trees, ho kept
his eyes oer hla shoulder, though ho no
longer neglected the possibilities of other
dangers which might lurk on cither hand
or ahead his experience with tho lioness
did not need a icpctltlon to Insuro tho per
manency of tho lesson It had taught. Uehlnd
ho could hear tho savages advancing with
shouts and erica. Ho lagged .further be
hind until tho pursuers were In sight. Thoy
did not seo him, for they wcro not looking
among the branches of tho treo for human
quarry.
Tho lad kept Just ahead of them. For a
mile, perhaps, they continued tho search
and then they turned back townrd the
village.
Hero was tho boy's opportunity. Hint for
which ho hnd been waiting, wlillo tho hot
blood of revenge coursed thtnwfth his clna
until ho saw his pursuers through a scarlet
haze.
When they turned back, ho turned nncf
followed them. Akut wns no longer In sight.
Thinking Hint tho boy followed, ho had
gono on further nhend. Ho had no wish
to tempt fato within rango of thoso deadly'
speara.
Slinking Bllently from treo to tree, tho
boy dogged tho footsteps of tho returning
warriors. At last ono dropped behind his
fellows as thoy followed a uariow path
toward tho village. A grim smllo lit tho
Ind's face Swiftly ho hurried forward
until 'ho moved almost above tho uncon
scious black stalking him as Sheetn, tho
panther, stalked his prey, as tho boy had
seen Sheetn do on many occasions.
Suddenly and silently he leaped forward
and downward upon tho blond shoulders
of Ills prey. In tho Instnnt of contnet his
fingers sought nnd found tho man's throat.
Tho weight of tho boy's body hurled tho
black heavily to tho ground, the knees in
his back knocking tho breath from him ns
ho stiuck.
Then n t.ct of strong, white teeth fas
tened themselves in his neck, nnd muscular
fingers closed tighter upon his windpipe.
For a time tho warrior struggled fran
tically, throwing hlnibelf about,!!! an effort
to dislodge hla antagonist; but all tho wlillo
ho was weakening, and all tno wlillo the
grim and silent thing he rould not see clung
tenaciously to him nnd dingged him slowly
Into the bush to one sldo of tho trnll.
Hidden thero nt last, safe from tho pry
ing eyes of searchers should they miss their
fellow and return for him, tho lad choked
tho llfo from the body of his lctlm. At
last ho knew by tho Midden struggle, fol
lowed by limp relaxation, that tho wairlor
was dead.
Then a strango desiro seized him. His

WHAT IS AN EFFORT?
This is war time, my dears, and we hear a lot about trenches, preparedness
and forts, but the fort which I wish to talk to you about today is an EF-FORT.
Ahal Hadn't thought of it that way, had you?
Well, ever since tho 17th of May,( 1883, I have had a lot of fun playing;
with words. Thero is no use trying to be a writer, especially a writer for
children, unless you .know how to put words together so that they will mako
people do things even if the words only make people smile.
Tho other day I had a talk with a man in a second-hand book store. I
think some of tho most intelligent beings in tho world nre salesmen in second
hand book stores. I hope the man who writes my life will not forget to put in
something liko this: "Farmer Smith was always haunting tho old book stores,
looking for things which would interest his "Little People.' "
Let's see, what was I talking about?
t Oh, yes! The- friend of mine in tho second-hand book store said ho thought
tha most of .us in this world tried to do things without EFFORT. In other words,
WE DO NOT WANT TO TAKE THE TROUBLE.
Is this true of you, my dears? The reason I am talking this way is, I want
you to take more interest in our questions and answers. I take a lot of pains
making them up the questions and I do it with tho thought of training YOUR
MIND to think RIGHT. Please! Please!! Please!)! do not think that mind
of yours is some far-away thing which you cannot get hold of.
YOUR MIND IS REAL and YOUR THOUGHTS ARE THINGS.
, Start today NOW and don't be LAZY. Make an EFFORT. Start off
With a little tiny EFFORT. READ our questions today. Answer ONE for
yourself tomorrow. And then answer two the next day, and so on.
The strongest fort in the world is an EFFORT.

Children's Editor. Evening Ledceij.

SPEAK VP.
Thanks for your kindly Interest. Here
aro some games suitable for your age:
Each player chooses somo trado or pro
fession. Then one player takes a newspaper
from which she reads aloud Borne article
of news. Whenever bhe pauses and looks
at any one of the players that player must
at "once, say something In keeping with her
trado, For instance, the reader would say,
'The first meeting of the" here she
stops and looks at the "baker," who an
swers "rolls." The reader continues, "was
held In the," Here she stops again and
looks at the grocer, who answers "soap
box" or anything connected with a grocery
store. The reader continues, "The address
was given by Mrs. ,' She turns to
the carpenter, who answers "bcrewdrlver,"
The game can be played for any amount of
time, and if the players are quick to answer
any amount 'of fun can be gotten out of it.
BOOK TITLtS.
The players are provided with long pieces
of paper and pencils and are asked to draw
a picture representing the title of some
book. When they have done this the draw
ings Uro passed around, the others writing
in turn at tha bottom what book they
think tho picture to represent and signing
their names to the guesse. Fold the paper
each time so that; the guest&s may not be
seen by the Jest.
After eaph player has made a guess at
each drawing, the papers are unfolded, the
one who has made the largest number of

ono foot upon the body of his Hill. Ills chest
expanded lie raided his faco toward the
lienvent and opened his mouth to voice a
strange, weird cry that seemed spreamlng
within hint for nutwatd expression. But
no sound passed his lips ho Just stood there
for a full minute, his fnco turned townrd

emotion, like an nnlmate Btntuo of ven

kill of tho son of Tnt-.an wns to typify

CHAPTER VIII
Ilc.-iBts and Men
AKUT, dlsrovei lug that the boy was not
l closo behind him, turned back to search
for him. Ho hnd gone but a thort dlstnuco
In return when ho was brought to a sudden
nnd stnrtlcd hnlt by Bight of a strange figure
moving through the trees townrd him.
It was tho boy yet could It be? In his
hand was a long spenr. down his back hung
nn oblong shield surh ns tho blnck war
riors who had nttneked them -iad wotn; and
upon ankle nnd arm woro hnwta of Iron
and brass, w'lllo a loin-cloth was twisted
about tho youth's middle. A knlfo wns
thrust through Its folds.
When the boy saw the npo ho hastened
forwnrd to exhibit his trophies. Proudly
ho called attention to each of hli newly
won possessions. Boastfully ho recounted
the details of his exploit
"With my lmro hands nnd my teeth I
killed him," ho snld. "I would havo mado
friends with them, but they chose to bo
my enemies And now thnt I havo a spear
1 shall show Numa, too, what it means
to have me for n foe. Only thu while men
wind the great apes. Akut, rirn our friends.
Them shall we seel, nil others must wo
nvold or kill. This hnvo I learned of tho
Jungle."
The- made a detour about tho hostllo
village, nnd resumed their Journey townrd
tho coast. The boy took much pride In his
now weapons and ornaments. He practiced
continually with tho spenr, throwing it
nt some object ahead hour by hour as
thoy traveled their loitering way, until he
gained a proficiency such as only youthful
muscles may attain to speedily.
All tho while Ills training went on under
the guidance nf Akut. Xo longer wns thero
n slngloijunglo spoor but was nn open book
to tho keen eyes of tho lad, nnd those other
Indeflnublo spoor that elude tho senses
d"f civilized man and aro only partially ap
preciable to his savngo cousin enmo to bo
fnmlllnr friends nf tho eager boy. Ho
could differentiate tho Innumcrnblo
species of tho heiblvora by scent, nnd ho
could toll, too. whether an animal woro ap
proaching or departing merely by the wax
ing or waning stiongth of Its effluvium.
Nor did ho need tho cvldenco of his
eyes to tell him whether there vvero two
lions or four tip-wind, or whether they
were a hundred yards awny or half a
mile.
Much of this had Akut taught him ; but
far moro was Instinctlvo knowledge a
species of strango Intuition Inherited from
his father. Ho had come to lovo tho
junglo life. Tho constant battle of wits
nnd senses ngalnst tho many deadly foes
thnt lurked by day and night along tho
pathwny of tho wary and unvvnry appealed
to the spirit of adventuro which breathes
strong in tho heart of every red-blooded
son of primordial Adam.
Yet. though ho loved It, ho had not lot
his solflsh desires outweigh tho sense of
duty that had brought him to a realization
of the moral wrong which lay beneath tho
ndventurous escapade that had brought him
to Africa. Ills lovo of father nnd mother
was strpng within him; too strong to per
mit unalloyed happiness which was un
doubtedly causing them days of sorrow.
And so ho hold tight to his determina
tion to And a port upon tho coast whero
ho might communicate with them nnd

There, ha felt sure that ho could how per
suade his parents to let him spend at lenst
a portion of his time upon thosb African
estates which front llttlo careless remarks
dropped at homo he know his father pos
sessed. T,hat would be something better, nl
lenst, .than a lifetime of tho cramped nnd
cloylmt restrictions of civilization.
And so ho wns rather contented Ihnn
otherwise as ho mado his way In tho di
rection of tho coast j for while ho enjoyed
tho liberty and tho savage pleasures of
the wild, his conscience wns nt tho same
tlmo clear, for lib know that he was doing
all that lay In his power to return to his
parents. Ho rather looked forward, too,
to meeting vvhlto men again creatures of
his own Hind ; for thero hnd been many oc
casions upon which ho had longed for other
companionship' than that of tho old npe.
Tho affair with tho blacks still rankled
In his heart lie had approached them In
such Innocent good-fellowship nnd with
such childlike assurance of n hospitable
welcome thnt the reception which had been
accorded him had proved a shock to his
boyish Ideals. He no longer looked upon tho
blnck man ns his brother; but rather as
only another of tho tnnumctnblo foes of
the bloodthirsty jungle a benst of prey
which walked upon two feet instead ot four
But If tho blacks vvero his enemies,
there wcro thoso in tho world who were
lint. There were thoso who would nlways
welcome him with open nuns; who would
accept him ns a friend nnd brother, nnd
with whom ho might Hnd sanctum y from
every enemy.
Yes, thero were always white men.
Komewhere along the coast, or even In the
depths of the jungle Itself, there were white
men. To them ho would bo a vvelcomo Ms
Itor. Thoy would befriend him.
And theie were also tho great apes tho
friends of his father and ot Akut. How
glad thoy would bo to receive tho son of
Tarzan of tho Apes! IJo hoped that he
would como upon them, before he found
n trading-post upon the coast, lie wauled
to bo ablo to tell his father thnt he had
known his old friends of tho Jungle; 'thnt
ho had limited with them ; thnt he had
Joined with them In their savngo llfo and
their fierce, primeval ceremonies the
strango coremonlcs of which Akut had tried
to tell hhn.
It cheered hhn Immensely to dwell upon
these hnppv meetings. Often lie rehearsed
the long speech willed he would mako to
tho apes. In which ho would tell them of
tho llfo of their former Hlng since ho had
left them.
At other times he would play at meeting
with white men. Then ho would enjoy
their consternation at sight of a nnked
vvhlto boy tiloked out In the war-togs of
a blnck warrior, and roaming tho Junglo
with only a great npo as his companion
And so tho days passed, and with the
traveling and tho hunting and tho climbing
tho boy's muscles developed, nnd his ngll
lty increased until oven phlegmatic Akut
mnrveled nt tho prowess of his pupil.
And tho boy. realizing his gloat strength
and reveling In It, became careless. Ho
strodo thiough tho jungle, his proud head
erect, defying danger. Whero Akut took
to tho trees at the first scont of N'uina,
tho lad laughed In tho face nf tho king of
beasts and walked boldly past him,
flood fortuno was with him for n long
time. Tho lions he met were well fed, per
haps, or the very boldness of tho strnngo
cienturo which Invaded their domain so
filled thorn with surprlso that thoughts of
nttack were banished from their minds as
they stood, round-eyed, watching his ap
proach and his departure. Whntovcr the
cause, however, tho fact remains that on
many occasions tho boy passed within a
few paces of somo great Hon without arous
ing moro than a warning growl.

Ono day tho boy met tho eleventh lion.
Tnrran's son wns walking across n small
plain upon which grew llttlo clumps of
bilshcs. Akut wns n tew ftrds to Urn left
of the lad, who was tho llrst to discover
the presenco of Numa.
"Hun, Akut." called the boy, latighlng.
"N'umn lies hid In llio bushes to my right
Take to the trees, Akutt J, tho son of
Tarwn, will protect you," nnd laughing
ngnln, he kept straight nlong his way,
which led close besldo the brush in which
N'utna lay concealed.
The. npe shouted to him to come nwny,
but the lad only flourished his spenr nnd
executed nn improvised war danco to show
his contempt for tho Hlng ot beasts. Closer
and closer to tho dread destroyer he came,
until with u sudden nngry growl, tho Hon
rose from his bed not tell paces from tho
!,outh.
A huge fellow he was, this lord of tho
Jungle nnd -tho descit. A shaggy mano
clothed his shoulders Cruel fangs nrmed
his great Jaws. His yellow-green eyes blazed
with hntied and challenge.
Tho boy, with his pitifully inadequate
spear ready in his hand, realized rpilckly
that this lion was different from tho others
he had met, but ho had gone too far now to
retreat. Tho nenrest treo lay several yards
to his left tho lion could be upon him be
fore ho had covereil half the distance, nnd
that the beast Intended to charge none could
doubt who looked upon him now.
Heyond tho lion wns a thorn tree only
a few feet beyond him. It was tho nearest
sanctunry, but .N'uina Blood between It and
ills prey.
Tho feel of tho long spear-shaft In his
linml and tho sight ot the tico beyond tho
lion gavo the lad nil' Idea a preposterous
Idea, a ridiculous, forlorn hopo of nn Idea;
but there was no time now to weigh chances
thero wns but a single chance, nnd that
was the thorn tree.
If the lion charged It would bo too lato
th6 lad must charge first. At.4 W l m
