"You do not mean to tell mo that you hellevo this will be done?" "Yes," replied Philip. "It is impossible!" cxclnlmed Greg eon again, crushing tho letter In his hand. "A man doesn't live a com bination doesn't exist that would , start such a hell loose ns this In this way I Philip smiled grimly. "Tho man does live, and tho com bination docs exist," ho Raid slowly. "Greggy. I have, known of men :ini) of combinations who havo spent mil- lions, who have sacrificed everything of honor and truth who have driven thousands of men women and chll dren to starvation and worse to achicvo a victory In high finance.

And Selden is only one out of thousands who live today, watching for their opportunities Kiing no heed to those who may fall under the' luggernaut of their capital. This Isn't the aKC of petty discrimination. Greggy. It's the age of the almighty dollar, and of the fight for It. And there's no chhalry, no qu.utcr shown in this tight.

And to such men ns theso what is the sacrifice of a few women up here?" Gregson dropped the letter, crumpled end twisted, upon tho table. "I wonder If I understand," ho said, looking Into Philip's whlto face. "Thero has undoubtedly been prevl ous correspondence, nnd this letter contains tho final word. It shows that your enemies havo nlready succeeded In working up the forest people tigalnst you, nnd havo filled them with suspicion. Their last blow is to bo " Ho stopped, and rhlllp nodded nt tho horrified question in his eyes. "Greggy, up hero thero Is one law which rclgnH above all other law.

Ho took half a dozen nervous steps, paused, lighted a cigar, ette, and looked down Into Philip's upturned face, "I understand now where tho fight fs coming In," he said. "If this thing goes through, these people will rise and wipe you off the map, They'll lay It to you and your men, of course. And I fancy it won't bo a Job half done If they feel about It as I'd feel.

Robinson HEIt soldier boy was coming homo nnd Nlta dreaded tho meeting. Of course, she would havo to see him and he would find out her deception. What would he think of her? How coultUshe bear that he should look at her? It had all begun at the girls' lied Cross meeting. "Let's pin our names and ad dresses on the inside of these socks we are knitting," suggested May Bond. "Perhaps tho soldiers who get them will write to us." , . Each girl as she finished a pair of socks pinned her name on tho Inside and they were sent out. After a time letters began to arrive from tho boys at tho front, telling of war experiences and of army life. The girls read them aloud with many comments and much Interest. Some were from French soldiers and were written In broken English, hard to make out. Some were entirely In French ; then the girls summoned all their knowl edge of the language and tried to puzzle theni out, een bringing out the big French dictionary nnd poring over It. Some letters were from our own Ameri can boys "over there." One girl had a letter from her own brother, for her socks had fallen to him. "Glad to find you're such a good knit ter." he wrote. "Your Bocks are tho best vet." Nlta, In a spirit of fun. had pretended In her letter that she was somebody s maiden aunt, nnd wrote in a motherlv strain. She had hardly expected her soldier to write more than once, but he did. Her letters wcro filled with good advice and suggestions for his health and comfort, and he seemed to like them. She even sent recipes for somo old-fa-shloncd remedies In case ho should need them. Not once In her letters did she forget herself and tell of the fun sho was having with the girls, of her studies nnd outdoor sports. Once she told him that the girls were trying to knit and sew, but she didn't suppose they would accomplish much: girls were so flighty Now the war was over and tho bos were coming home. Nlta's soldier had written that he should he among the first to return He wns longing to sec her, to tell her how much good her let ters, her ndvlce and her wise counsel had done him. Ho knew she had a kind, motherly heart nnd sympathetic eyes were they blue".' a dear mouth that smiled and helpful hands. He had so much enjojed the socks and sweaters she had sent. They weie just what his mother would hae sent him had she been living He was really longing to see her. Was her hair done In white puffs over her forehead? He loved to think of it so. He lived In Norton, not very many miles from her own home, and he should come to see her often. He hoped she would still, bo glad to "mother him" and to udmonish him If he needed It. Nlta was frightened when sho rend that letter. She could not escape meet ing him, for he had ner address. What would he think of hei V If she could nn'.y run nway and hide! And yet she did want to see him. She had learned to like her soldier boy She had pic tured him In her mind, and she wanted oh, how much she wanted to Bee him. If only she could herself be Invisi ble. She almost wished now that sho had not played her foolish Joke. He would despise her for hi r deceit and think her wry silly With a beating heart Nlta watched the returning regiment march through the streets. Which one was her soldier boy? He was with them, she knew They were so straight, with strong, brac faces, and the happy IIkIU of vic tory In their ees She was proud of them all and cheered with the rtst. When the doorbell rang Nlta stepped lightly to answer It, quite unsuspecting. Sho had not thought that he would come to see her so soon, Thero were othcrM to greet him Yet there he stood. She knew him at the Mist Bianco and wanted to hide. What could she say? How explain? Shu stared und -said nothing. He put out his hand with a boyish smile and a twinkle In his ec. "Is this Miss Spenee?" ho asked. "I'm I'm Nlta Spenee," came the timid answer. Perhaps he would think thu ono who wrote tho letters was her aunt. If ho would only ro away. aiy maiden aunt, my mentor," he I laughed merrily. "You iook Just ns I1 Imagined you would" i sho gasped, "Hut why how could1 ,.-'.'.n".n.'.t, ou "impose I saw tluough I your little game?- Ills smile was brlsht I and assuming.

And ho was quite satisfied The next router. complete novelette Knld's Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar By CHAPTER XV-(Continued) ALOW growl of warning rumbled from his throat: but Tarzan, guess ing that tho beast had but Just quitted his kill and was woll filled, merely made a slight detour nnd continued to tho river, whero ho stopped a few yards abovo tho tawny cat, nnd dropping upon his hands and knees, plunged his face Into tho cool waters. For n moment the lion continued to eye tho man; then he resumed his drinking and man and beast quenched their thirst sldo by side, each apparently oblivious of tho other's presence. Noma was tho first to finish, nals- I Ing his head, he gazed across the river for a fow minutes with that Btony fixity of attention which Is a charac teristic of his kind. But for tho ruf fling of his black mano to tho touch of tho passing breeze, ho might havo been wrought from golden bronze, bo motionless, so statucsquo his pose. A deep sigh from the cavernous lungs dispelled tho Illusion. Tho mighty head Bwung slowly around until tho yellow eyes rested upon tho man. Tho bristled lip curved upward, exposing yellowed fangs. Another warning growl vibrated tho heavy Jowls, and tho king of beasts turned majestically about nnd paced slowly up tho trail Into tho dense reeds. Tarzan of tho Apes drank on, but from tho corners of his gray eyes ho watched tho great bruto's every move until ho had disappeared from view, nnd after, his keen ears marked the movements of the carnivore. A plungo In tho river wns followed bv a scanty breakfast of eggs which chanco discovered to him, nnd then"! ho sot off up-river toward tho ruins of tho bungalow whero tho golden In gots had marked the center of yes terday's battle. And when ho came upon tho spot, great wns his surprise and conster nation, for tho yellow metnl had dis appeared. The earth, trampled by tho feet of horses nnd men, gave no clue. It wns as though tho ingots had evaporated Into thin nlr. The npe-man was at n loss to know where to turn or whnt next to do, Thero wns no sign of any spoor which might denote that tho sho had been here. Tho metal was gone, nnd If there was any connection between the she nnd the metnl, It seemed useless to wait for her now that the latter had been removed elsewhere. Hverythlng seemed to eludo him the pretty pebbles, tho yellow metal, the she, bis memory. Tarzan was dis gusted. He would go back Into tho Jungle nnd look for Chulk, nnd so ho turned his steps once moro toward the forest. He moved rapidly, swing ing ncross tho plain In a long, easy trot, nnd nt tho edge of tho forest taking to tho trees with tho agility and speed of a small monkey. Ills direction was aimless he mere ly ruced on nnd on through tho Jun gle, the joy of unfettered action his principal urge, with tho hopo of stumbling upon somo cluo to Chulk or tho she n secondary Incentive. For two days he roamed about, killing, eating, drinking nnd sleeping whet over inclination and tho means to indulge It occutred simultaneously. It was upon the morning of tho third day that the scent spoor of horso and man were watted faintly to his nos trils. Instnntly he altered his course to glide silently through tho branches in the direction from which the scent came. It was not long before he came upon a solitary horseman riding to-1 ward the east. Instantly his eyes confirmed what his nose had susplcloned the rider was he who had stolen his pretty pebbles. The light of race flared suddenly In the giay eyes as the ape-mnn dropped lower among tho branches until he moved almost diiectly above the un conscious Wei per.

Giant arms encircled tho rider, nnd in tho twinkling of an cyo ho was dragged from his saddle to tho narrow trail by a naked whlto giant. Recognition camo to Werper with tho first glanco at his captor's face, and a pallor of fear overspread his features. .Strong fingers Wcro at his throat, fingers of steel. Ho tried to cry out, to plead for his life, but tho cruel fingers denied him speech, ns they wero as suroly denying mm life. "Tho pretty pebbles?" cried tho man upon his breast. "What did you with tho pretty pebbles with Tarzan's pretty pebbles?" The fingers relaxed to permit of a reply. For some timo Werper could only choko and cough at last he re gained tho powers of speech. "Achmet Zok, the Arab, stole them from mo!" ho cried. "Ho made me glvo up tho pouch and the pebbles." "I saw nil that," replied Tarzan: "but tho pebbles in the pouch were not tho pebbles of Tarzan they were only such pebbles as All the bottoms of the rivers, and tho shelving banks beside them. Even tho Arab jirould not havo them, for ho threw them away in anger when ho had looked on them, It Is my pretty pebbles that I want where aro they?" "I do not know: I do not know!" cried Werper. "I gave them to Ach met Zek, or ho would havo killed mo. A few minute's later he followed me along the trail to slay me, although he had promised to molest mo no further, and I shot and killed him; but the pouch was not upon his person, nnd though I searched about the Jungle for somo time, I could not find It." "I found It, I tell you," growled Tar zan," and I also found tho pebbles which Achmet Zek hnd thrown nwny In disgust. They were not Tarzan's pebbles. You have hidden them! Tell mo where they are, or I will kill you," and tho brown fingers of tho ape-man closed a little tighter upon the throat of his victim. Werper struggled to free himself. "My God, Lord Greystoke," ho man nged to screnm, "would you commit murder for a handful of stones?" Tho fingers nt his throat relaxed; a puzzled, far-away expression softened the gray eyes. "Lord Greystoke!" repeated tho npe man. "Lord Greystoke! Who Is Lord Greystoke? Where have I heard that name before?" "Why, man, you aro Lord Grey stoke!" cried the Belgian. "You wero Injured by falling rock when tho earthquake shattered tho passage to tho underground chamber to which you and your black Wazlrl had come to fetch golden Ingots back to your bungalow.

Presently his hand went faltering)' to his forehead, an ex pression of wonderment filled his eyes of wonderment and sudden under standing. The forgotten name had reawakened tho teturnlng memory that had been struggllnn to reassert Itself. The npe-man relinquished his grasp upon the throat of tho Belgian and leaped to his feet. "God!" he cried, and then, "Jane!" Suddenly ho turned toward Werner. "My wife?" be asked. "What has be come of her? Tho farm Is In ruins. You know. You havo had something to do with all this.

"re He could not quite determine tho social status of this strange creature: but ho knew that ho did "o' relish the easy assurance with which tho fellow presumed to dictate when he might take possession of the prisoner. "Pardon me." he said, stepping for ward and placing his hand on Wer per s other shoulder; "but this gentle man is my prisoner. Ho must como with me." ,."Wli?n x nm trough with him," re plied Tarzan quietly. Tho officer turned and beckoned to tho soldiers standing in the trail be hind him. A company of uniformed blacks stepped forward and surround, ed the npe-man and his captive. "Both tho law and the power to en force it nro upon my side," announced tho officer.

"Keep mo from them, and I can show you the very spot where I saw your wife last night." he wills pered "She cannot be far from here at this very minute. Tho soldiers, following the signal from their sergeant, closed In to seize Werper. Tarzan grabbed tho Belgian about the waist, nnd bearing him be neath his arm as he might have done a sack of flour, leaped forward in an attempt to break through the cordon. H s right fist caught the nearest soldier upon tho Jaw nnd sent him hurtling backward upoii Ids fellows. Clubbed rifles wero torn from the hands of those who barred his wav, and right and left the black soldiers stumbled aside In tho force of the ape man s savago break for liberty.
