BLn The lad waa all excitement, palpltaht B . with eatrerneas to ho off in pursuit. Akut k. demurred. He wanted nothing of men. To vhlm the boy was a, fellow apo, for he wbb the son of tho king of tho apes. Ho tried to dissuade the lad, tqillwr him that noon i they should come upon a t ilbo of their own ) fo)1: where some d.iy when ho vn3 older tho ;- boy should be king, ns Ills father had before , him. Out Jack was obdurate, He Insisted that pe Wanted to see white men again. Ho " wanted to send a message, to his parents. ., 'Akut listened, and an he listened the intul i Hon of the beast huggented the truth to him -the boy was planning to return to his ewn Hind. .

B0Und'l t" Ihelr frightened ears the. coming of the sheik and his blood, thirsty followers. Tey W4r? ln a bu,e funtt' ttn the Bight or the naked white watrlor stepping silently out of the Jungle through which they had Just passed had been a surtlclent shock to . l.l?ln ctlon n11 u fen nerve, energy of Malblhn, who had been the first to -co the strange apparition. And Malblhn's shout and shot had set the others going. When their nervous energy had spent It self, and they enmo to take stock of what they had been fighting, It developed that Malblhn Alone had eoen anything clearly. Several of the blacks aVerred that they, too, had obtained a good View of he creature, but their descriptions of It varied so greatly1 that Jcnssen. who had eeen nothing him self, was Inclined to be n trine skeptical. Ono of tho blacks Insisted that the thing had been It feet tall, with a man's bodv and tho head of an elephnht. Another had seen three Immense Arabs with huge, black beards; but when, nfter conquering their nervousness, tho roar guard ndvnnced upon the enemy's position to investigate, they found nothing, for Akut and tho boy had retreated out of range of the unfriendly guns. Jack was dlshcnrtcned and sad. He had not entirely recovered from the depressing effect of the unfriendly reception he had rocelvod at tho hands of tho blacks, and now ho had found an oven more hostile one accorded him by men of hla own color. "The lesser beasts flee from me In ter roi," he murmured half to himself; "tho greater beasts nro ready to tear me to pieces at sight Black men would kill me with their spears or arrows. And now white men, my own kind, have fired upon and driven me away, "Are all tho creatures of the world my enemies? Has the son of Tarzan no friend other than Akut?" Tho old ape drew closer to tho boy. "There are the great apeB," ho said. "They only will bo the friends of Akut's trlend, Only tho great apes will welcome tho son of Tarznn. You have Been that men want nothing of you. Let us go now nnd continue our search for the great apes our people " The langungo of tho great apca Is n com bination of monosyllabic gutturals, ampli fied by gestures and signs. It may not be literally translated Into human speech, but as near as may bo this Is what Akut said to the boy. Tho two proceeded in silence for some tlmo after Akut had spoken, Tho boy was Immersed In deep thought bitter thoughts In which hatred nnd revenge predominated. Finally ho spoke. "Very well, Akuti' he said, "we, will find our friends, the grcnt apes." Tho anthropoid was overjoyed, but ho Lgavo no outward demonstration or nis pleasure. A low grunt waa nia oniy re sponse and a moment later ho had leaped nimbly upon a small and unwary rodent that had been surprised at n fatal-distance from Its iburrbw. Tearing tho unhappy creature In two, Akut handed tho lion's share to the lad. CHAPTER IX Tho Orent Apes A YEAR had passed since the two Swedes had been driven In terror from tho jiavngo .country whero the nholk held sway. Little' Merlem still played with Oeokh, lav ishing all her childish love upon the now almost hopelesB ruin of what had never, even In Its palmiest days, possessed een a alight degree of loveliness. But to Merlem Qeeka was nil that was sweet and adorable She carried to the deaf ears oftlie bartered ivory head nil her sorrows, nil her hopes, all her ambitions; for ovon In tho face of hopelessness. In the clutohes of tho dread authority from which there .was no escape, llttlo Merlem yet cherished hopes and nmbltlons. It Is true that her nmbltlons wero rnthor nebulous In form, consisting chiefly of a deslra to escape with Oeeka to some remoto nnd unknown spot where there wero no sheiks, no Mabunus where el adrea could And no entrance, and where she might play all day surrounded only by Dowers and birds and the harmless little monkeys play ing In tho trcetops. The sheik had been away for a long time, conducting a caravan of ivory, skins nnd rubber far Into tho north. The Interim had boen ono of great peace for Merlem It Is true that Mabifny, had still been with her. to plikh or beat her as the mood seized tho Nlllnlnouj old hag; but Mabunu una only ono. When the shell' was theio alfo thtrp were two of thorn, nnd thq sheik was Mrortgor wid mora brutal even than Mn- "illt'tlo Merlem often wondered why tho grim old man hnted her Ho. It Is true that ho wau cruel and unjufct to nil with whom ho c.uno In contact; but to Merlem he re served his grentest cruelties, his most stu died Injustices. 4 Today- Merlem was squatting at the foot tif a large tree which grew Inside tho palls ado, close to the edge 'of the village She was fashioning a ,tentvof,.leaves for Oeeka. BeforS the tent were some plecea of wood and smart leaves and a few atones. T..ese were tho household utensils. Oeeka was cooking 'dinner. , " . .

With the rifle-shot of the White men showering about him, he had reverted to the navagerV of the heart that la Inlirerit in each of Ms, but that flamed mote strongly In this hoy whose father had been raised a beast of prey. Ite' wore his, leopard Bkln s.t first In respdnee to a, desire to parnda a trpphy of Mi prowees, for ho had slain tha leopard with his knife In a linhd-to-hand combat. He saw that tho Bkln va beautlfdl, which appealed to his barbaric sense of orrta mentation) and when It stlttened and later commenced to decompose because of his having no knowledge of how to euro or' tan It, It was with Borrow and regret that he discarded It. Later, when he chanced upon n lone blaok warrior wearing the counterpart of It, soft and clinging nnd beautiful from proper curing, It required but an Instant to leap from above upon the shoutddra of the un flufpectlng black, 'sink a keen blade Into hls.henrt nnd become the possessor of the properly preserved hide. There were no nhor-qunlms of conscience. In the Jungle1 might Is right, nor does It take long to Inculcate this axiom In the nilnd of a Jungle-dwell?, regardless of what his past training may have been. That the blaok would have Wiled him had Ite, L "ad the chance, the boy knew full well. Neither he nor the blaok was any more sacred than tho lion or the buffalo, the zebra or the doer, nr nnv Miliar nf th oountless creatures who warned or Btunk or flew or wriggled through the dark maaes of the forest. Haoh had but n single llfo, which vaa Bought by many. The greater number of enemies slain, tho hotter chance to prolong that life. So tho boy smiled and donned tho finery of tho vanquished, nnd went his way with Akut, searching, always searching for the elusive anthropoids who wor6 to welcomo uiem witn open nrm. And at last they found them. Deep In that. Jungle, burled far from tho .sight of man, they came upon such another llttlo natural arena as had witnessed the wild ceremony of the Dum-Dum, In which the boys father had taken part long years before. First, at a great distance, they heard tho beating of the drum of tho great apos. They wcro sleeping In tho Bafety of a hugo tieo when tho booming sound smote upon their cars. Both awoko at once. Akut was the first to Interpret tho strong cadence. "The great apes!" he growled. "They danoo tho Dum-Dum. Come, Korak, Bon ot, Tarzan, let us go to our people." Months beforo Akut had given the boy a name of his own choosing, since ho cou d not mas'er tho man-glven name of Jack. Kornk '.s near ns It may be Inter plead Into hua-n speech. In tho language oi tho apes It means Killer. Now the Killer rose upon tho branch of the great tree where ho had been sleep ing with his back braced against the atom. He stretched his lithe young muscles, the moonlight Altering through tho foliage fiom .above dappling his brown skin with llttlo patches of light. Tho ape. too, stood up, half Bquattlng nfter tho manner of his kind. Low growls rumbled from tho bottom of his deep chest growlf of excited anticipation. Tho boy growled In hnrmony with tho ape. Then the anthropoid slid aoftly to the giound. Close by, ln the direction of the booming drum, lay n clearing which they must cross. The moon flooded It with silvery light. Half erect, tho great apo shufflod Into tho full glare of the moon. At his side, swing ing gracefully along In marked contrast to the awkwardness of hla companion, strode tho boy, the dark, shaggy coat of tho one brushing against tho smooth, clear skin of the other, Tho lad was hummlnc now n music hall air .that had found Its way to tho forns,4 of the great Hngllsh public school that ,waa to. see him no niorp, Ho was happy and expectant. Tlnj moment he had looked forward to for. so lorig was about to be reallxed Ho was coming Into his own. He was coming home As the months had dragged or flown nlong, retarded or spurred on as privation or adventure predominated, thoughts of his own home, while oft re curring, had become less vivid. The old life had grown to soom more like a dream than a reality, and the balking of his determination to reach the coast nnd re turn to London had finally thrown tho hope of realization so remotely Into tho future thnt It. too, now seemed little more than a pleasant but hopeless dream. Now all thoughts of London and civiliza tion were crowded so far Into the back ground of his brain that they might as well have been nonexistent. Kxcept for form and mental development, he waa as much an ape as the great, fierce creature at his side In the exuberance of his Joy he slapped' hib companion roughly on the side of his head. Half In anger, half In play, the anthropoid turned upon him, his tangB bnrod nnd glistening. Long, hairy arms reached, out to selzo him; and, as they had doiio n thousand times before, the two clinched In mimic battle, rolling upon the jwnrd, striking, growling and biting, though nt-ver closing their teeth In more than n rough pinch. It was wondernus practice for them both. Tho boy brought Into play wrestling tricks that ha had learned at school, and many of these Akut learned to use and to foil, jnd from the ape the boy learned the methods that had been handed down to Akut from some comriion nncestor gf them both, who had roamed the teeming earth When ferns were trees and crocodiles were birds. But there was one art tho boy, possessed which Akut could not master, though he did achieve fair proficiency In It for an ape boxing. To have his bulklike charges stopped and crumpled with a suddenly planted list upon the end of his snout, or a painful Jolt in the short ribs, always surprised Akut. It angered him, too; and at such times his mighty Jaws came nearer tn closing In the soft flesh of hla friend than at uny other, for he was still an apo, with nn ape'a short temper and brutal Instincts. But the dllllculty was to catch his tor mentor while hln rago lasted, for when he lost his head und rushed madly Into close quarters with the boy, ho discovered that the stinging Mil of blows released upon him always found their mark and ef. fectually stopped him effectually -and pain fully. Then he wouM withdraw, growling vic iously, backing away with grinning Jaws distended, to sulk tor an hour or so, Tonight they did not box. Just for a moment or two they wrestled playfully until the scent of Sheeta, the panther, brought them to their feet, alert and wary. The great cat was passing thrpugh the Jungle In front of them. For a moment It pausad, listening. The boy nnd the ape growled rnenaclpgly In chorus, and the carnivore moved on. ' Then the two took up tlielr JoUrnny to ward the sound of tha IJum-Dum. Louder and louder came (be beating of the drum. Now, at least, they could hear the growling ot the dancing apes, and strong to their nostrils came the scent of their kind. The lad trembled with, excitement. The. hair down Akut's ap'ne stiffened the symptoms ot happiness and angor are often similar. .Silently they crept through tha Jungle aa they titered the meotlng-placo of tho ape. Now they were in tne trees, worm Ins their way forward, alert for sentinels. Presently, through a break ln the follaxe. tha scene burst upon the eager eyes of tho' boy. To Akut It waa a ranuuar one; Dut to Korak it waa all new. His nerves tingled at the savage sight Tha great bulls were dancing In tha moonlight, leaping in an lr- regular circle aoout tne r.ai-iojjpeu earmen drum, about which three old females aat, beating Its resounding top with sticks wprn smooth by lopg years ft use. Akut, knowlnjf the temper and customs of hi kind, was too wl.e to make their presence known untU the fremy of the dance had passed After tha drum was oulet and the bellies of the tribe well filled, h would hall them. Then would coma a urly, aft" which he and Korak would b ScciPtsd tnta membership by th eomomn THE CHEERf lL CWlWb i ji urn ii in i i ii ma The knowledge tK-eA will Klp vj most, la Jwrvact by ?retv.tet P6jn$t.Tv yet I p-o-fd most p-e-jrv for I lawned to smoke. t cltJ-arctta. 3 KYV". V Hy, Thers might be those who would ob ject, but such could be overoomo by brute force, of which he and the lad had an ample surplus. For weeks, possibly months, tlielr pres ence might cause ever-decreaslng suspicion among otherB of tho tribes but eventually they would become as born brothers to these strange npes. Ho hoped that thoy had been among those who had known Tarzan, for that woujd help In tho Introduction of the lad and In tho consummation of Akut's dearest wish that Korak should becomo king of the apes. It was with dimoulty, however, that Akut kept the boy from rushing Into tho midst of the dancing anthropoids an net that would have meant tha Instant extermination of them both, since the hysterical freniy Into which the great apes work themselves durlnr the performance of their strange l rites Is of such ft nature that even tho moit ierocious ot tne cnrnrvorn mvo iiicm " wide berth at such times. Ab tho moon'dcotlhcd nlowly townrd tho lofty, follagod horizon of the nmphtthestre the booming of the drum decreased, and lessened were the exertions of the dancers until, at last, tho final note was struck nnd the huge bensts turned to fall upon the feast they had dragged hither for tho orgy. From what ho had Been nnd hea,rd, Akut was able to explain to Korak that tho rites proclaimed the choosing of n now king, nnd he pointed out to tho boy tho massive figure of tho shaggy monarch, como Into hlB king ship, no doubt, na many human rulers have come Into theirs by tho murder of his pre decessor. When the npes had filled their bellies and many ot them had Bought tho bases of the trees to curl up In slecri, Akut plucked Kornk by the arm.

ALLAN N. NETTLEMAN Pastor of th6 First Baptist Church, Bordcntown, N. J. "Some of us nro going to como down to tho evening of llfo nnd in Its Bober, re flective momenta find thnt memory turns tho pages of llfo's ledger nnd reveals to us tho Btnndlng of our nccount with good nnd ovll," continued the young clergyman. "Tho thought Btruck mo to appeal to my audience to ncccpt tho Christ ns Saviour In order to Insure n satisfactory balancing of life's evening ledger. "Benjamin Franklin had n system which he called 'Prudential Algebra,' by which at the closo of a dny ho would strllto a bal ance between tho day's virtues nnd Its vices. He would set down In the credit column tha virtuous deeds of tho dny, assigning to rnch a value; In a Blmllnr manner, In tho debit column, ho would Bet down tho dccdB which wcro not virtuous. Then ho would balance tho account to rco how tho dny stood. Somewhat similarly, as wo draw near the end of llfo's day, wo shall find ourselves balancing accounts." Tho Rev. Mr. Nettleman Is plnnnlng for a summer scries of sermons on "Baseball." ADVERTISING TO BE BOOMED AS A USEFUL ALLY OF THE CHURCH Associated Clubs of the World Plan to Make It a Feature of Big Convention in June MINISTER TAKES LEAD Clergymen nnd ofllcors of churches, who aro faced with the problem of filling their churches, are Interested In the announce ment o' the Associated Advertising Clubs of tho World that a department haa been allotted at tho 12th annual convention to be held In Philadelphia next month for tho thorough study of church publicity. Tho Rev. Dr. Christian F. Relsncr, of Now York, has nccopted tho invitation ot Horbert S. Houston, president of tho asso ciation, to fake the leadership, and has com munlcatcd with numerous ciorgymen and laymen throughout tha country to acquaint them with tho fact of tho establishment of the department. Ho has received ac ceptances from the following to act as his associates on the committee In charge: The Rev. Roy B. Oulld, executive secretary, Commission on Foderated Movements, Fed eral Council of Churchos In America; tho Rev. Dr. Charles L. Stelslc. sociologist ; tho Rov. Dr. W. 13. Barton. Congregational Church. Oak Park. 111.; the Rev. Dr. P. B. Jenklni, Milwaukee, WIb. ; S. Harle Taylor, secretary, Board of For eign Missions of the Methodist Episco pal Church; Bishop William Burt, of Buf falo. N. Y ; tho Rev. Dr. C. A. Katon, Mndlson Avenue Baptist Church, New York; the Rabbi Stephen S. Wise. f New Voik; the Itev. J. Whltcomb Brougher. of the Temple Baptist Church, Los Angeles, Cal ; the Rov. Floyd W Tomklns. Holy Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, and C "W. McClure, of the Chicago Ad Club, Chicago, 111 Primarily the purpose ot the depart ment will be to discuss means of draw ing peopla to church, but In discussing such a problem the speakers will go Into tho most minute details. Thoso who have been eminently successful ln attracting people to churches that never have prospered will tell how the;' did It. Some of them used billposters, otherB made novol Improve ments In their churches, others used news paper advertisements, others distributed circulars In their neighborhoods, still others hung signs ln the hotels and In the rail road stations. "Paul, Wesley, Moody and Booth used unusual methods to secure a hearing," stated Doctor Relsner last week, "and present church loaders must do the same. All business, Including banks, charities, pa triotic campaigns and special religious movement advertise nowadays. Why should the church refuse to regularly draw people If advertising succeeds In every other line? It Is a notable fact .that wherever church publicity has be.en employed to draw people to a church where a vital gospel Is preached that church succeeded where It formerly failed. "Advertising Is a fine ally. All will ad mit that, but the method that la both ef fectlvo and unobjectionable must be dis covered, Every line of publicity has devel oped specialists and commanded detailed study nnd careful development except that to be used by the church. That department has grown by the spasmodlo activity of In dividual ministers and a few laymen. No qrganlzed effort has been made to develop It because the church has little money to develop new movements."
