The scene in which Tantor makes such an unexpected and thrilling ap pearance occurs just after Tarzan has engaged in a battle to the death with six giant, cannibals, who lay in wait along one of the jungle trails to inter cept the party of whites, including the beautiful American girl with whom Tarazn has fallen in love. Exhausted and bleeding. Tarzan staggers awav from the glade of death, and is on the point of sinking down into the thick jungle grass, when he is startled into full consci ousness by the trampling of heavy feet close at hand. The next instant Tantor, Tarazn's mighty friend, comes smashing through the undergrowth. Answering Tarzan's cry of distress, the great fceast kneels, and wrapping his trunk I about the injured youth, swings him across his neck and marches in tri umph with him to the distant beach, where he deposits his precious burden out of harm's way behind some shel tering rocks.

From this scene of quiet, the real action of the play bursts forth Into gaiety such as forms the pastime in a small community. The story of the piece concerns lazy, but goodhearted Herman Levy, who has the habit of complaining about everything that in noway affectp him. Levy is ever planning how to become rich without ever lending any assist ance to gain this end. He dreams of wealth of untold figures and imagines some day his fairy godmother will bless him with a barrel of gold.

Few of us get bald in a day and we all have ample warning when our hair is thinning out. Parisian sage is a most efficient hair invigorator, but to immediately stop any turther loss of hair and o.uickly start a new growth it" must be rubbed into the scalp so the starved hair roots can really absorb it and get the vital stimulation so badly needed. You will surely be delighted Willi the first application, for your hair and scalp should look and feel fOO per cent, better. Parisian sage is not expensive. It's a scientific preparation that sup plies ail hair needs —a clean, non sticky, antiseptic liquid that is sold by Kennedy's Drug Store and at drug and toilet counters everywhere with guarantee to give you perfect satis faction or money refunded. Good looking hair is half the hat tie in any man's or woman's per sonal appearance. Neglect means dull, thin, lifeless hair and finally baldness, while a little attention now insures thick and lustrous hair for years to come.
