EVENING LEDGDKr-PHlLADELPHIA, tfHURSDAtf, JUNE 8, 1916. V6e SON OFTARZAN By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS Author of the Tarzan Talcs OIIAPTCIt XXII ContlnnM OKLT when It became too dark to neo would ha permit of a halt A doith times In the afternoon' Baynes had threat ened the black with Instant dalh when the tired guide Insisted upon resting. The fellow was badly frightened. He could not understand the remarkable change that had so suddenly come over the white man who had been afrnld In tho dark the rtlsht before. He would have deserted this terrifying master had ho had the opportu nity; but Baynes guessed that some such thought might be ln4tho other's mind, and so gave the fellow none. He kept close to him by day, and slept touching him at night In the rude thorn boma they constructed ts a slight protection against prowling carnlvora. That tho Hon. Sforlson could sleep at all In the midst of the savage Jungle was suf. flclent Indication that he had changed con siderably In the last 24 hours, and that he could lie close beside u none-too-fragrant black man spoke of possibilities for democ racy within him yet all undreamed of. Morning found him stiff and lame and sore, but none the less determined to push on In pursuit of Hrtnson a"s rapidly as pos sible. With his rifle ho brought down a buck at a ford In a Bmall stream shortly after they broke camp breakfastlesB. Bo grudgingly ho permitted a halt while they cooked nnd nte; and then on again through the wilderness of trees and vines and under brush, And In the meantime Korak wandered slowly westward, coming upon the trail or Tantor, the elephant, whom ho overtook browsing In the deep shade of the jungle Tho apeman, lonely nnd sorrowing, nr clad of tho companionship of his huge friend. Affectionately tho sinuous trunk encircled him, nnd he was swung to the mighty back whore so often beforo he had lolled and dreamed tho long afternoons away. Far to the north the Big Bwnna and his black warriors clung tenaciously to the trail of the fleeing safari that was luring them further nnd further from tho girl they sought to save, while back at tho bungalow the woman who had loved Merlem as though sho had been hor own waited Im patiently nnd In sorrow for tho return of tho rescuing party nnd the girl sho was positive her Invincible lord and master would bring back with him. CHAPTER XXIII Morlson Squares Accounts A3 MCR1EM struggled with Malblhn, her XX hands pinioned to her sldos by his brawny grip, hope died within her. She did not utter a sound, for she knew that thero was none to come to her assistance; and besides, tho'Junglo training of her ear'lcr life had taught her the futility of appeals for succor In the savago world of her upbringing. But a she fought to free herself, one hand camo n rontact with the butt of Mai blhn's revolver where It rested in tho hol ster at his 1'lp. Slowly he was dragging her toward the blankets, and slowly her fingers encircled tho coveted prize and drew It from Its resting place. Then, as Malblhn stood at the edge of tho disordered pllo of blankets, Merlem sud denly ceased to draw away from him, and as quickly hurled her weight against him with the result that ho was thrown back ward, his feet stumbled against the bedding nnd ho was thrown to his back. Instinctively his hands flew out to save himself and at tho same Instant Merlem leveled the re volver at his breast and pulled the trigger. But tho hammer fell futttely upon an empty chamber, and Malblhn was again upon his feet' clutching at her. For a moment sho eluded him, nnd ran toward tho entrance to the tent, but at the very doorway his heavy hand fell upon her shoulder nnd dragged her back. Wheeling upon him with tho fury of a wounded lioness, Merlem grasped the long revolver by the barrel, swung ft high above her head nnd crashed It down full In Mal blhn s face. With an oath of pain and rage the man staggered backward, releasing his hold upon her; nnd then sank unconscious to the ground. Without a bnckward look Merlem turned nnd fled Into tho open. Several of the blacks saw her and tried to Intercept her flight, but the menace of the harmless weapon kept them at a dls tnnce. And so she won beyond the encircling boma nnd disappeared Into the Jungle to the south. Straight Into the branches of a tree she went, true to the arboreal Instincts of the little Manganl she had been; and here sho stripped oft her riding skirt, her shoes nnd her stockings, for she knew that she had before her a Journey nnd a flight which would not brook the burden of these gar ments. Her riding breeches and Jncket would have to serve as protection fiwm cold and thorns, nop would they hamper her over much; but a skirt and shoes were Impos sible among tho trees. ' She had not gone fnr before she com menced to realize how slight were her hances for survival without means of de fense or a weapon to bring down meat Why had she not thought to strip the cart ridge belt from Malblhn's wnlst beforo she liad left his tent? With cartridges for tho revolver she might hope to bag small game md to protect herself from all but the noit ferocious of tho enemies that would besot her way to tho beloved hearthstone f Bwann nnd My Dear. With tho thought came determination to 'eturn nnd obtnln the coveted ammunition She realized that sho was taking great chances of recapture; but without means of defense and of obtaining meat she felt that she could nevor hopo to reach safety, And so sho turned hor face back toward tho camp from which she had but Just escaped She thought Malblhn dead, so terrlflo a blow had sho dealt him; and stio hoped to And an opportunity nftei dark to entor tho camp and search his tent for tho cartridge belt; but scarcely had she found a hiding place In n great tree at the edge of tho boma, where she could watch without dan ger of being discovered, than he saw the Swede emerge from his tent, wiping blood from his face, and hurling a volloy of oaths and questions nt his terrified followers. Shortly after tho entire camp set forth In senrch of her, and when Merlem was positive that all were gone she descended from her hiding place and ran quickly across tho clearing to Malblhn's tent. A hastv mir"ey of tho Interior rovealod no ammunition; but In one corner was a box In which were packed the Swede's personal belongings that he had sent along by his hendman to this westerly camp. Merlem seized upon tho reccptnele as tho posilblo container of extra ammunition. Quickly she loosed the cords that held tho canvns covering about the box, and a mo mont later had raised the lid and was rum maging through the heterogeneous accumu lation of odds and ends within Thero were letters and papers and cut tings from old nowspapers, and among other things the photograph of a little girl upon the back of which was pasted a clipping from a Paris dally a clipping that she had no time to read, yellowed and dim med by age and hnndllng. But something about tho photograph of tho little girl, which was aluo reproduced In the news paper clipping, held her attention. Where had she seen that picture before? And then, quite suddenly, It came to her that this was a picture of herself, taken years and years before! Where had It been taken? How had It come Into the possession of this mnn? Why had It been reproduced In a newspaper? What was tho story that the faded typo told of It? Merlem was baffled by the puzzle that her search for ammunition had revealed. She stood gazing nt tho faded photograph for a time and then bethought herself of tho ammunition for which she had' come. Turning again to the box, she rummaged to tho bottom, nnd there in a corner sho camo Upon a little box of cartridges. A single glance assured her that they were Intended for tho weapon she had thrust lnnldo thif band of her riding breeches; and slipping them Into her pocket she turned onco more for an examination of the baffling likeness of herself that sho hold In her hand, As she stood thus In vain endeavor to fathom'thls Inexplicable mystery the sound of voices broko upon her cars Instnntly sho was all alert. They were coming closer! A second later she recognized tho lurid profanity of tho Swede Mnlblhn was roturnlngl Merlem ran quickly to the opening of tho tent and looked out It was too latel Sho was fulrly cornered! The white man nnd three of his black henchmen were coming straight across the clearing toward tho tent. What was she to do? She thrust tho photograph Into her waist Quickly sho slipped a cartrldgo Into each of the chnmbers of tho revolver Then sho backed toward the end of the tont, keeping tho entrnnco covered by her weapon Tho mon stopped outside, nnd Merlem could henr Malblhn profanely Issuing In structions. Ho was a long time about It, and while ho tnlked In his bellowlsh, brutish voice, tho girl ' Bought some avonno of oscape. Stooping, she raised the bottom of tho canvas and looked beneath and beyond. There wns no one In sight upon that side. Throwing herself upon her stomach, she wormod benenth tho tont wall, just as Mal blhn, with a final word to his men, entered tho tent. Merlem heard him cross tho floor, and then sho rose nnd, stooping low, ran to a native hut directly behind Once Inside this, she turned and glanced back. There was no one In sight Sho had not been seen And now from Malblhn's tent sho heard a great cursing. The Swede had discovered the rifling of his box. Ho was shouting to his men, and as alio heard then) reply Merlem darted from the hut and ran to ward tho edgo of tho boma furthest from Malblhn's tont. Overhanging tho boma at this point was a tree that had boon too largo. In tho eyes of the rest-loving blacks, to cut down. So they had terminated the boma Just short of It Merlem was thankful for whatever clr cumstnnco had resulted In tho leaving of that particular treo where It was, since It gave her tho much-needed avenue of escapo which sho might not othcrwlso have had. From her hiding placo sho caw Malblhn onter tho Jungle ngaln, this time loavlng a guard of three of his boys In tho camp. He went toward the south, and after he had disappeared Merlem skirted tho outside of tho Inclosuro nnd made her way to the river. Here lay tho canoes that had been used In bringing tho party from tho opposite shore. They were unwieldy things for a lone girl to handle ; but there was no other way, and she must cross tho river. Tho landing place was In full view of the guard at tho camp. To risk the crossing under their eyes would have meant un doubted capture, Her only hope lay in waiting until darkness had fallen, unlpss some fortuitous circumstance should arise before. For an hour she lay watching the guard, one of whom seemed always In a position where he would discover hor should sho attempt to launch ono of the canoes. Presently Malblhn appeared, coming out of tho Jungle, "hot and pufllng. Ho ran Im mediately to tho river where tho canoes FARMER SMITHS RAINBOW CLUB WHAT DOES HE THINK ABOUT? Dear Children In a hospital not many miles from where you are this very minute there lies a little boy. There are other little boys in the hospital, but this boy wo are talking about HASN'T ANY FEET! After you have read this far look at your own two feet. TVill you take ten dollars for them ? w NO! Will you take a thousand dollars for your feet? , NO! Thoy aro priceless, for what would even a million dollars bo to you without your feet! The little boy who lies thero in the hospital, thinking, thinking, thinking, onco had a pair of skates. Ono day ho put on his skates and started down the street. He was not satisfied to go slowly, carefully, cautiously he wanted to HURRY. Without thinking (as our members are taught to do), he took hold of a trolley car. All went well until something happened. Those precious feet of his went under the car, and He is sorry now sorry he did not STOP AND THINK. Never again will ho run after the ball never again will ho put on those skates of his. Please send me' some postcards, some books boys love to read, or some flowers for him. Write him o letter, if you will. This' will help you remember to STOP AND THINK. Put on your letter, "pase Number Three, Farmer Smith's Rainbow Club, the Evenino Ledgeh, Philadelphia, Pa." How happy I would be if I could take him one hundred letters and postals! How happy HE will be, and and I know it will make you happy, too will you do it? FARMER SMITH, Children's Editor, Evening Ledger.

One day Maudle and Mattle Mouse crept softly upstairs and helped themselves to their mother's clothes Now, Maudle and Mattle knew that they were doing wrong, but they did so want to play mother, and they wanted long dresses. They got out of the house and down Into the meadow without any ono seeing them. There they put on the long dresses and the nice new hats. "Now. I'll play I'm going to market." said Mattle, and away she went, trailing her dress behind her, t "Hurry back I" yelled Maudle after her, "because I'll soon have dinner ready." Maudle bustled around and made mud pies and leaf salad and cooked some stone eggs. Then when dinner was all ready and the 'table set she sat down and watted for Mattle. Pretty soon she heard Mattle coming. Just as fast as she could come "Run up tho tree, quick, Maudle !" yelled Mattle, "and get In that little hole." Maudle Mouse didn't stop to ask any questions, but up the tree they went and Into tho hole they popped. None too soon, for thero came Cat Waf fles' big paw right in the hole after them, with Mattle's skirt around his leg "Get out!" said Mattle to Waffles. "You can't get us here."

He reached out and grabbed hold of me, "Oh, oh, oh!" cried Maudle, "Yes." continued Kfnltlu "hut k. .. caught hold of my skirt and I puled as hard as I could, and he pulled, and the skirt came right oft in his paw, and I was free.

Tho expression of relief on hi- faco when ho found that nono of the canoes was gone was ample evldenco of what was pnsslng In his mind He turn ed nnd spoke hurriedly to tho hendman who had followed him out of the Junglo, nnd with whom were several other blacks. Following Mnlbfhn's Instructions, they launched nil tho canoes but one Malblhn called to tho gunrds In tho camp, nnd n moment later the entire party had entered tho bonts nnd wns pnddllng upstream.

Eho was nlono, and they hnd left n ennoo In which lay a paddle1 She could scarco bellovo tho good fortune that had como to her To delay now would bo suicidal to her hopes. Quickly sho ran from her hiding place nnd dropped to the ground. A dozen yards lav between her nnd tho ennoe. Upstream, beyond tho bend, Malblhn or dered his canoes In to shore. Ho lnnded with hh headman nnd crossed tho little polpt slowly In search of n spot where ho might watch tho ennoo he had loft at tho lnadlng placo. He wns smiling In anticipa tion of the nlmost certain success of his Btrntngem sooner or later tho girl would como back and attempt to crosi tho river In ono of their canoes It might bu that tho Idea would not occur to her for somo time. They might havo to wait a day, or two days ; but that she would como If sho lived or wns not captured by tho men hA hnd scouting tho Junglo for her, Malblhn wns sure. That she would como so soon, however, ho hnd not guessed, and so whon ho topped tho point nnd camo ngnln within sight of the river ho saw that which drew an nngry oath from his lips his quarry nlready wns half way across tho river! Turning, ho ran rapidly back to liTs-boata, tho headman nt his heels. Throwing them selves In, Mnlblhn urged bis paddlcrs to tholr most powerful efforts. Tho canoes Bhot out Into tho Btrcnm nnd down with the current toward the fleeting quarry. Sho had nlmost completed tho crossing when they camo In Bight of her. At the same Instant sho saw them, and redoubled her efforts to reach tfte opposlto shore before they should overtnko her. Two minutes start of them was all Merlem cared for. Onco In tho trees sho know that sho could outdistance nnd elude them. Her hopes wcro high they could not overtnko her now sho had had too good n start of them!

The leading canoe, In tho bow of which ho stood, wns yet a hundred yards behind tho lleelng Merlem when she ran tho point of her craft beneath the overhanging trees on the shoro of safety. Malblhn screamed to her to halt. He seemed to havo gono ,mad with rago at tho realization that he could not overtako her; and then ho throw his rlflo to his shoulder, aimed carefully at tho slim figure scramb ling Into the trcos, nnd fired. Mnlblhn wns an excellent shot. His misses at so short a distance wero virtu ally Nonexistent, nor would ho havo missed this time but for nn accident oc curring nt the very Instant that his finger tightened upon tho trigger an accident to which Merlem owed her life tho provi dential presence of a water-logged treo trunk, one ona or wmen was emucuueu in the mud of tho rhcr bottom, the other end floating Just beneath the surface whore tho prow of Malblhn's canoe ran upon It as ho "red. Tho slight deviation of tho boat's direc tion wns sufficient to throw the muzzle of the rifle out of nllgnment. Tho bullet whizzed harmlessly by Merlcm's head, and an Instant later sho had disappeared Into tho foliage of the treo Thero was a smile on her lips as Bho dropped to the ground to cross a llttlo clearing where onco had stood a native vil lage surrounded by Its fields. The ruined huts still stood In crumbling decay. Tho rank vegetation of tho Jungle overgrew tho cultivated ground. Smnll trees already had sprung up In what had beon the village street! but desolation and loneliness hung like a pall above tho scene To Merlem, however. It presented but a place dc.nuded of large trees which Bhe must cross quickly to regain tho jungle upon the opposlto side beforo Malblhn should have landed. The deserted huts were, to her, all tho better because they were deserted. She did not see the keen eyes watching her from a dozen points, from tumbling door ways, from behind tottering granaries. In utter unconsciousness of Impending danger she started up the village street because It offered the clearest pathway to the Jungle.

Recently the tables were turned. Thou sands of women from all over tho United States Journeyed to New York to attend the biennial convention of tho National Federation of Woman's Clubs. In nlmost every enso their husbands remained behind to champ their bits and bite their lips and spend tholr eparo tlmo wondering what the world In general, nnd womnn In particular, Is coming to. Hut tho woman's club Is on a far higher plane than tho mnn's. The history of tho womnn's club movement In the last 60 years bIiows It to bo Its own justification. Ilend the records of their achievement, nnd If you no been one of the dissenters, for ever hold your peace. Mrs. Josiah Evnna Cowlcs, tho newly elected president of tho federation, Is re sponsible for this defonso of woman's clubs If nny defonso can be said to bo needed, Hundreds of thousands of woman nil over tho country nlmost 60,000 In Pcnniyl anln nlono will look to her for guldnnco In tho nccompllphment of the tremendous work laid down for them at tho recent con vention. In her flower-embowered npnrtment at tho Astor Hotel In Now York, Mrs, Cowles doferrcd tho pressing business of a national club president nnd shoved nslde the bushel or more of congratulatory telegrams that cluttered her desk In order to glvo a few minutes of her precious tlmo to chat about women's clubs and nlso men's unn husband's rnoToartAPH. And what do you think was tho most dominant article In that room, If we elimi nate Mrs. Cowlcs herself? Tho American Bcnutles stnndlng wnlst high on their tall stems?

"You'll find thnt men usually belong to this or that club becnuso of tho social features It offers. Golf, chess, tennis, cards, social prestige With n woman's nssoclatlon It Is different. Organized women nro always doing something nlong cultural and other wise helpful lines. Their purpose Is usually for some educational, moral, sociological or civic good.

So Miss Elizabeth Paine, head resident of the Music School Settlement of New York and at ono time resident at the College Settlement of Philadelphia, defined the effect of the muslo settlement throughout tha country. 'Tho primary object of the muslo settle ment," said Miss Paine, who was ona of tho delegates to tho convention of tha National Association of Muslo School Soclotlcs held here this week, "is to glvo to the poorest an opportunity to learn to sing, to dance and to play on the Instrument ha or she loves best. "But through our common lova of muslo. of tho workers In tho settlement and tha children nnd adults who coma to It, we, tho workers, havo found how much deeper and wider the Influence of muslo is tri tha homes of tha working man than wa expected. BINDS OLD AND NEW. "Muslo binds together the older genera tion with the new. That Is ona good result So much In America tends to separata the old and the new. New customs, different conditions, and at times a different languago separate parents and children. But tha lovo of tho old folk songs the immigrant brings with him from the old country. The children Inherit nn appreciation for tho finest In music; this common taste Is a bond between the two generations and we, tha music settlement, aro helping them to find it" Tho weekly attendance of the Muslo Settlement In Now York averages BOO pupils, adults and children. The peoplo of 20 nations, tho majority of which aro at war with each other, meet In the settlement The Idea of a music settlement was the thought of a woman. Miss Amelia. Wagner camo from tho South, her fiddle under her nrm, determined to give to any ona who wanted It a chance to learn how to play. Today, In tho New York settlement thera are ninety teachers conducting clases In piano, violin, singing, harmony, theory and rhthymlc dancing. A community orchestra nnd community chorus are also conducted by tho settlement TOILERS NEED MUSIC. Tha rest of the world sometimes does not realize that the average worklngman and woman Is too tired to concentrate on a lecture. What he wants and needs is music. And ho Is not satisfied with listen ing to the best, he wants to do something himself. Our evening classes aro composed almost entirely of men and women who aro employed during tha day," explained Miss Palno. Miss Paine told of tha young" girls, who, wfth llttlo or no material advantages of life, wero willing to do with less In order to keep up with their muslo lessons. " 'Honest, Miss Paine,' said one to me, 'I don't really need anything. I Just don't need any more clothes or anything better than what I have, but I Just got to havo my muslo lessons.' "And," added Miss Paine, "aha was a working girl, helping to support her family on about 6 a week. "But the main object of tha settlement Is to glvo music to those who love It for Itself alone. The results follow almost automatically. Such is the power of muslo over those who lovo It" sROBINSON & CRAWFORD: HI Vr.T, At AH Our Stores Where Quality Qoiiiiti ' ' - , Lo w PricesPrevaiT u; ALL OUR STORES WILL CLOSE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOONS AT 1 O'CLOCK DURING JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST We will appreciate the co-operation of our customers with us in giving our employes a half holiday each Wednesday afternoon.
