CHAPTER VI What the Monlcej Did rpHE black robber lay quietly in his roost while Billy and Rollo, the monkey, climbed the tree. In fact he was too quiet to suit Billy, who thought he nuirht be ui to some trick. And the nearer Billv got to the roost, the more ' suspicious he became. Rollo, the monkey, was eager for re venge, Hjs nose was still sore from the nipping given it when be had climbed the tree before, and now that the black robber was fast in a trap Rollo meant to get even with him. So the monkey was racing on ahead of Hilly, when suddenlj Billy caught him by the tail. "Walt," whispered Billy. "Maybe the black robber is trying to fool us. He may grab your nose again." Rollo stopped short at that. He didn't want that precious nose nipped a second time. Ulllj quickly thought of a way to ce if the black robber were planning i sui prise for them. He took off his ap and put it on the end of a broken uanch. Then he hoisted the cap slowly ner the edge of the nest, just ns if it were on his own head. Snap! A sharp, powerful beak sud denly snatched fiercely at the cap. If lilly's head had been inside, it would lave gotten n slashing whack and a up, and ISillj would have been held a uoiier as the monkey had been. That is the trick the black robber had been planning. It showed that he was dan icioiiR even through he was in a trap. DOROTHY DARNITThe "Young Lady Missed, But (T could only I Pirrs I II merisy. ' I ""- '" KfL-v,-. jZ- , ?

They didn't know what he was with his bird's beak and his man's voice. So Bjlly, filled with curi osity, climbed nncAher tree where he could look down ijHo the roost. As he looked, BBly gave a shout that made Peggj glance up quickly. "It's a crow, a big, black crow!" "Haw ! Haw ! Haw ! I'm an edu cated crow. I've had my tongue slit," cried the black robber. And that ex plained the mystery. He was a crow that had been taken prisoner when lit tle, and had its tongue cut, so that it could be taught to talk just like a par rot. "Haw! Haw"! I'm a bad crow!" declared the robber. "Where is the diamond brooch you stole?" . "I'll never tell. I'm a bad crow, and I'm going to steal and steal, because I was stolen myself. Haw! Haw!" "I'll make him tell," chattered Rollo, and nway he darted through the trees, only to return a moment later with an By VARICK VANARDY Author of "The) Two-Faced Man," "AUa the Night Wind," etc hole in the floor tion ; then perhaps I it," she answered him. w ill reply to "I nsk it because I have discovered that I am a prisoner here; that I can not get out of this house save at your own good pleasure unless I seize you and compel jou to let me out.

"Are you very curious about the an swer, to your first question?" she asked, and gave him an unscrutable smile. "Yes." (TO BE CONTINUED) old cloth sack thrown over his shoulder. He climbed above the black robber's nest and pulled something from the sack. It was a bad egg and the bag was filled with them. Smash! Bang! Plop ! went the eggs, the monkey hurling them one after an other right at the robber. "Help! Murder!" shrieked the crow, and then, as the fire of eggs got worse and worse, he screamed: "I'll tell. The girl has the pretty glass. Thief! Thief!" Peggy was indignant. "You're a fib ber. I haven't the diamonds," she shouted. But Billy and the monkey, looking down, cried out in surprise. "Look behind you,"'said Billy. Peggy looked behind her and spun around and around, but she couldn't see anything, until Billy and the monkey, sliding down the tree, showed her the diamond brooch caught in the back of her dress. The sly robber crow had put it there. And a thread tied to the brooch showed it had vanished from the monkey's nest. The robber had snatched it away by the string. "Haw! Haw!" laughed the rob ber's voice, and away be sailed like a black streak. He had cut Billy's fish line in two with his beak and escaped. "Well, we have the diamonds safe," said Peggy. They ran home as quickly as they could and gave the brooch to Nora, the maid, who was delighted. And she was astonished, too, when she heard that the thief was a tame crow that had gone bad. As for Rollo, the wandering monkey, he wouldn't go into the town, but raced back to his home in the woods. But Peggy and Billy were to see him again and have another peculiar adventure with him, ns will be told in next week's story. She Didn't Strike Out!

"Wouldn't you just love to explore that place?" Jeanne had cried, cnthusi nsticajly. "Where there's a will," Leah drawled larily. It was there and then that the idea originated to enter the mnnsion Hallowe'en. Everything progressed splendidly j the pnlntcr had bcenbrlbcd to lend a kev. nnd the adventure promised to he fi "howling success." With muffled lnughter and cautious whisnerR the cirls stole up the drive- wa until they stood before the great white house, cleamlng like a marble falrv nalacc in the moonlight. "Now. not a sound," cautioned Jeanne" as she mounted the steps, close--lj followed by the others. "I'm 'bout scared to death," con fessed Beth. "Suppose something should happen?" Eve whispered, trngicnllv. Jeanne gave them a scornful glance and fearlesslv turned the key in the iock. The door opened so noiselessly thnt it seemed as though ghostlike hands had grasped the knob. "Now," whispered Jeanne, "I'm to walk up the stairs, through the corri dor, into the stained -glass-window room, light my cnndle therennd return to the.stnircasc." All nodded assent and Jeanne stepped into the uncarpeted hall and closed the door behind her. Finding the bannis ter, she slovvlv ascended the stnircase. 'but upon reaching the top her courage forsool her, as in the bright moonlight she could dearly distinguish the closed door of a stained-glnss-window room. It was n very timid girl who finally opened the door and stepped into the room. She hesitnted n second, then brnvelv struck a match and lighted her candle She paused a moment to look nt her cherished room; then an ex pression of terror came into her eyes as she beheld a'man. seated hefnrc the hreplacc, calmly vvatchine her.

But. nlnsl'inst as shp reached the stahcase she missed her footing, and down the stnirs she tumbled, falling in a hclnlesR heap on the floor below.

Before they reached it I, ,.- the inner hall was flooded with light and they peered In to see the figure of a man pick the hapless adventuress from tho floor. From the shelter-nf the strange young man's arms, Jeanne, with .. cijr nunc juce, smiled rather weakly.

It proved to be a fracture, and it was some time before Jeanne was. herself again. Of course, she was treated like a heroine by her faithful followers, and Richard Bryce, who was the owner of the mansion, found it necessary to in spect the work very often, and inci dentally to visit the convalescent pa tient. This caused many comments among the girls, and when Jeanne was able to enjoy long rides in the wonder ful machine, fashions of wedding recep tion frocks found their way into Madame Hawley's Seminary long be fore Jeanne .displayed the mnmlfi,,. solitaire.

The lioness was young and sleek, and the four males were in their prime as handsome lions as he had over seen.s Three of the males were scantily maned; but one, the fore most, carried a splendid black mane that i rippled in tho breeze as he trotted majestically forward. The lioness halted a hundred feet from lanjan, while the lions came on past her and stopped a few feet nearer. Their ears were upstand ing and their eyes filled with cu riosity. Tarzan could not even guess what tfcey might do. The lion at his side faced them fully, standing silent now. Suddenly the lioness gave vent to another little, whine; and at that Tarzan's lion voiced a terrific roar and leaped straight toward the beast of the black mane. The sight of this awesome' creature with tho strange face, dragging Tarzan after- him, was too much for the black mane, and with a growl that hon turned and fled, followed by his companions and the she. Numa attempted to follow them; but Tarzan held him in leash, and fwhen he turned upon Tarzan in rage, the Ape-man beat him unmer cifully across the head with his spear. Shaking his head and growling, the lion at last moved off again in the direction they had been travel ing; but it was an hour before he ceased to sulk. He was very hun gry, half-famished, in fact, and consequently of an. ugly temper; yet he was so thoroughly subdued by Tarzan's heroic methods of lion taming that he was, presently pac ing along at the Ape-man's side like some huge St. Bernard. TT WAS dark when, after a slight delay because of'a Geman patrol it had been necessary to elude, the two approached the British right. A short distance from the- outer British line of sentinels Tarzan tied Numa to a tree and continued on alone. He evaded a sentinel, passed the out-guard and supporE and by devious "ways came again to Colonel Capell's headquarters, whbre, like a disembodied spirit materializing out of thin air, he appeared before the assembled officers. When they saw 'who it was that came thus unannounced, they smi",ed, and the Colonel scratched his head in perplexity. Tarzan smiled. "Do not blame them," he said, "for I am not a man. I am a Tarmangani. Anjn Mangani who wished to could enter youi camp almost at wll; but if you had them for sentinels, no one could enter without their knowl edge." ' "Wha are the Mangani?" asked the Colonel. "Perhaps we might enlist a bunch of the beggars." Tarzan shook his head. "They are the great apes," he explained, "my people; but you could not use them. They cannot concentrate long enough upon a single idea." "You call -them Mangani, and yourself Tarmangani what is the difference?" asked Major Pres wick. ! "Tar means white," replied Tar zan, "and, Mangani means great ape. My name the name they gave me in the tribe of Kerchak means White-skin. When I was a little balu, my skin, I preSume, looked very white indeed against the beau tiful black coat of Kala, my fostciv mother; and so they called me zan the Tarmangani. They call, you, too, Tarmangani," he concluded, smiling. t Capell smiled. "It is no reproach, Gj-eystoke," he said. "And by Jove, it would be a mark of distinction if a fellow could, act the part. And now how about youv plan ?- Do you still think you can empty the trench opposite our sector?" "Is it still held by Gomangani" asked Tarzan. "What are Gomangani?" inquired the Colonei, "It is still held by native troops, if that is what you mean.", "Yes," replied'the Ape-man. "The Gomangani are the negroes." ' "What do you intend doing, and what do you want us to do?" asked Capell, 1 Tarzan approached, the taple and, placed a finger- on the map! "Here is a listening-post," he paid? "They have a machine-gun in.it. A tunnel connects it with this trench at this point." Hi! finger moved "rom place to place on- the map as he talked.

"You will empty the trench alone 7"" "Not exactly alone," replied 'Tart zanwith a grfm;smilo, "but I shall empty it; and by 'the way, your men may come in through the tunnel from tho listening-post if you prefer. In about half anhour, Colonel 1" And ho turned and left them. i AS TARZAN passed v through the " camp, there flashed suddenly updnvthd screen of recollection, con jured there by some reminder of his previous visit to headquarters, the image of the officer he' had passed as he quit the Colonel that other time, and simultaneously recognition of the face that hadfibcen revealed by the light from the fire. He shook his head dubiously. Nft it could 4not be; and yet the features of 'the young officer were identical with those of Fraulein Kirdier, the Ger man spy he had seen at German headquarters the night he took Major Schneider from under the nose of' the HuifgeneraFand his-staff. Beyond the last line f sentinels, Tarzan moved quickly in the direc tion of Numa the lion. The beast was lying down as Tarzan ap pioached, but he rose when theApe man reached his side. A low whine ascaped his muzzled lips. Tarzan smiled, for he recognized in the new note almost a supplication it was more like the whine of a hungry dog begging for food than the voice of the proud king of beasts. "Soon you will kill and feed," he murmured in the vernacular of the great apes. t He unfastened the rope from about the tree, and with Numa close at his side, slunk into 'No Man's Land. There was little rifle fire, and only an occasional shell vouched for the presence of artillery behind the op posing lines. As the shells from both sides were falling well back of the, trenches, they constituted no menace to Tarzan; but tne noise of them and that of the rifle fire had a marked effect upon Numa, who crouched trembling close to the Tarmangani 'as if for protection. Cautiously the two beasts moved forward toward the listening-post of the Germans. "In one hand Tarzan carried the bomb the,English had given him;in the other was the coiled rope attached, to "the lion. At last Tarzan could see the position a few yards ahead. His keen eyes picked out the heat! and shoulders of the sentinel on watqh. The Ape-man grasped tho bomb Jlrmlvfin hid right hand and withdrew the pin with his teeth. He measured thedistance with his eye, and gathered his feet be neath him; then in a single motion he rose and threw the missile, imme diately flattening himself prone ujon the ground. Five'seconds later there was a ter rific explosion in the center of the listening post. Numa gave a nervous start and attempted to bre.ak away; but Tarzan held him, and leaping to his feet, ran forward, dragging Numa after.him. At the edge of the post he savybelow him but slight evi dence that the position had been oc cupied at all, for only a few nhre Is of torn flesh, remained. About the only thing that had not been demol- Tar-fished was a machine-gun which had been protected by sandbags, There was not aajnstant to lose. Already a relief might be crawling through the communication-tunnel, for it must have been evident to the sentinels in the "Hun trenches that the listening-post had been demol ished. Numa hesitated-to follow Tar zan into the excavation; but the Ape-man who was in no mood to temporize, jerked him roughly to the bottom. Before themlay the mouth of the tunnel that led back from No Man's .Land to the German trenches, Tarzan pushed Numa forward until Jfiis head was almost' in thejiperture; tnen, as tnougn it was an after thought, he turned quicklyfind tak ing 'the machine-gun from thej para pet, placed it in the bottom of the hole close at hand. Next he turned again to Numa, and with his knife quickly cut the garters that held the "bags upon hisr front paws. Before the lion could know that a part of. his formidable armament was again released for action, Tarzan had jcut the ropo from his neck and the head bag from his face, and grabbing the lion from the rear had thrust him l J By Cha MqManus FED partly into the mouth of tho tunnef,' , Thon Numa baiKed, only to feel tne sharp prick of Tarzan's knifepoint J iii his hindauartcrs.
