CHAPTER Vl-(Continued)
THE scent of heliotrope roso more
strongly In the closed room, nnd
from the handkerchief Philip's eyes
turned to the face of Eileen Broknw '
looking: at him from out of Grcgson's
sketch.
It was a, curious coincidence. He
reached over and placed tho picture
face down. Then he loaded his pipe,
and sat smoking, his vision traveling
beyond the table, beyond the closed
door to tho lonely black rock where
he had come, upon Joanno and Pierre.
Clouds of smoke rose about him, and
lis half closed his eyes. He saw tho
girl again, as she stood there; ho saw
the moonlight shining In her hair, the
dark, startled beauty of her eyes ns
she turned upon him; he heard again
the low sobbing note In her voice as
she cried out her hatred against
Churchill. Ho foigot Eileen Brokaw
now, forgot In these moments all that
he and Gregson had talked of that
day. His schemes, his fears, his
feverish eagerness to begin tho fight
against his enemle3 died away In
thoughts of tho beautlfut girl who had
come Into his life this night. It
seemed to Mm now that he had known
her for a long time, that she had been
a part of him always, and that It was
her spirit that ho had been groping
and searching for, and could never
find. For tho spaco of those few
moments on the cliff she had driven
out the emptiness and the loneliness
from his heart, and there filled him a
wild desire to make her understand,
to talk with her, to stand shoulder to
shoulder with Pierre out there In the
night, a comrade.
Suddenly his flngcts closed tlghtlj
over the handkerchief. Ho turned and
looked steadily at Gregson. His frfend
was sleeping, with his face to tho
wall.
"Would not Pierre return to the rock
In search of these articles which his
sister had left behind? The thought
set his blood tingling. He would go
back and wait for Pierre. But If
Plerro did not return until tomor
row? He laughed softly to himself as he
drew paper toward him and picked
up the pencil which Gregson had used.
For many minutes he wrote steadilj.
When ho had done, he folded what lie
had written and tied It In tho handker
chief. The strip of lape with which
, Jeanno had bound her hair he folded
uently and placed in his breast p'ocket.
Thero was a guilty flush in his faco
Us ho stole silently to the door. What
would Gregson say If ho knew that
he Phil Whlttemore. tho man whom
he had once idealized as "The Fighter,"
and whom he believed to bo proot
against all love of woman was doing
this thing? Ho opened and closed the
door softly.
At least he would send Ills message
to these strange people oi mo wuuei-
ness. They would know that he was
not a part of that Churchill which
they Iiated, mat in ins neaii no n-u
ceased to bo a thing of its breed. He
apoiogizeu again iur mi w.. u.i-
pearance on the took, but the apology
was only an excuse for other things
which ho wrote, in which for a few
brief moments he bared himself to
thoso whom he knew would under-
stand, and asked mat tneir acquaint-
anco might be continued.
He felt that there was something

and yet. as he hurried over the ridge
and down into Churchill again, he was

tho slow, dismal rising of the cry and
the infinite sadness with which It
as slowly died away until lost In the
whisperings of the forest and the
gentle wash of the sea. Pierre was
returning. He was coming back
"through the forest. Perhaps Jeanne
would be with him.
For the third time rhlllp climbed
back to the great moonlit rock at the
top of the cliff. Eagerly he faced the
north, whence the walling cry of the
wolf-dog had come. Then he turned to ,
tho spot where he had dropped the1
handkerchief, and his heart gave aj
sudden Jump.
There was nothing on the rock. The
handkerchief was gone!
CHAPTER VII
PHILIP stood undecided, his ears
strained to catch the slightest
sound. Ten minutes had not elapsed
since he had dropped the handkerchief.
Pierre could not have gone far among
the rocks. It was possible that he
was concealed somewhere near him
now Softly he called his name.
"Pierre ho, Pierre Couchee!"
There was no answer, and in the
next breath he was sorry that he had
Mlled. He went ellently down the

trail. Ho had como to tho edgo of
Churchill when once moro ho heard
the howl of tho dog far back In tho
forest. Ho stopped to locate ris nearly
as he could tho point whence the
sound came, for -ho was certain now
that tho dog had not returned with
Pierre, but had remained with Jeanne,
and was howling from their camp.

Huppy tho man with temper mild
Whose heait is trusting as n child;
Tor though a knave may cheat
him
Or fall upon him unawaies,
He nothing knows and nothing
cares;
And Joy comes out to meet him.
But when injustice kills his languor
Th8 knave will likely feel his anger.
Happy the man, for heaven meant,
Who lives a life of sweet content,
Unblemished by ambition.
Xo envy stirs his placid soul,
He for his spirit sets no goal.
He has no wild-eyed mission.

That guy will get what lie goes

And so, unmolested, Tarzan passed
from the camp of the Abysslnlans.
from which tho din of conflict followed
him deep into tho Jungle until distance
gradually obliterated it entirely.
Back to tho spot where ho had left
werper went tho ape-man, Joy in his
heart now, where fear and sorrow had
so recently reigned; nnd in his mind a
determination to forgivo tho Belgian
and aid him In making good his escape.
But when he camo to tho place Werper
was gone, and though Tarzan called
aloUd many times he received no tepiy.
Convinced that the man had purpose
ly eluded him for reasons of his own,
John Clayton felt that he was under
no obligation to exposo his wlfo to
further danger and discomfort in the
Prosecution of a more thorough search
for tho missing Belgian.
"He has acknowledged his guilt by
his flight, Jane," he said. "We will
let him go to lie in tho bed that he
has made for himself."
Past tho village of Achmet Zek their
way led them, and there they found
but tho charred remains of tho pan
sade and the native huts, still smoking,
as mute evidence of tho recent exact
ment of tho wrath and vengeance or
a powerful enemy.

and honor.
"Deep In the soul of every man,"
said Tarzan, "must lurk tho germ of
righteousness. It was your own
virtue, Jane, rather even than your
helplessness, which awakened for an ,
Instant tho latent decency of tnla
degraded man. In that ono act ho re
trieved himself, and when ho Is called
to faco his maker, may It outweigh
In tho balance all tho sins ho has com
mitted." And Jano Clayton breathed a fer
vent "Amen!"
Months had passed. The labor of
the Waziri aiuKtho gold of Opar had
rebuilt and refurnished the wasted
homestead of the Grrystokes. Once
moro tho simple llfo of the great
African farm went on ns It had before
tho coming of tho Belgian and the
Arab. Forgotten were tho sorrows
and dangers of yesterday.
For the first time In months Lord
Greystoke felt that he might indulge
In a holiday, and so a great hunt was
organized that tho faithful laborers
might feast in celebration of tho coirw
pletion of their work. )
In Itself tho hunt was a success.!
and ten days nfter Its Inauguration ai
well laden sararl took up its return
march toward tho Waziri plain. LorcM
and Lady Greystoke, with Busull ancM
Mugambl, rodo together at tho head!
of tho column, laughing and talking
together in that easy familiarity
which common Interests nnid mutual
respect breed between honest and in
telligent men of any race.
Jano Clayton's horse shied suddenly
nt an ouject nair Hidden in tho long
grasses of an open space In tha
Jungle. Tarzan's keen eyes sought
quickly for an explanation .of tho
animals action.
"What have wo here?" ho cried,
swinging from his saddle, and a
moment later the four wero grouped
about a human skull and a little litter
of whitened human bones.
Tarzan stooped and lifted a
leathern pouch from the grisly relics
of a man. The hard outlines of tho1
contents brought nn exclamation of
surprise to his lips.
"Tho Jewels of Opar!" he cried, hold.

to mo bones at his feet "all that re-

Mugambl laughed. "Look within,

what are the Jewels of Opar you will
see what the Belgian gave his llfo
for!" and tho black laughed aloud.
"Why do vou laugh?" asked Tarzan.

I THE END,
Joker's joko was hurting the mean
sprites moro than it was him.
As they returned to the tar pot they
heaid groans and jells from within.
The heat was driving the mean sprites
wild, as Laugh had said It would Billy
didn't saj- a word, but threw open tha
firebox door, shoveled in more coal and
opened the drafts.
"Here, what are jou doing?" shrieked
Mocker.
"Making the flro hotter to thaw out
J'our brains so jou can reniember where
King Fun is," answered Billy, calmlj'.
"He Is in the new baking dish Peggy'a
mother got for Christmas," jelled tha
mean sprites In a chorus.
"Is that true. Joker?" nskert nillv.

"Joker can't answer. We'va pushed
him dow n into the hot tar and are
I standing on him because be got us into
this trouble," jelled the mean sprites.
A roar of laughter went up from tha
ajsreeable sprites over this punishment
of the bully, and they kept on laughing
all tho way to Peggy's house.
Suie enough King Pun was In th
baking dish. The mean sprites hadn't)
, dared to tell another fib. As Peggy"'
lifted the cover King Kun bobbed up
Jovially, his crown peiched on tho side
of his head.
"Hello, evcrjl.odj"' he shouted.
Wouldn't I have had a hot old-time in
this baking dish If Peggy's mother had
started to cook anj thing.
".Vot so hot a time ns the mean sprites'

Chuckle, and then they told King Fun
