expecting to see the maniacal light Of
murder in the eyes above her. Instead
she saw horror and contrition.
"Oh. Jean" she cried. See what you
have done. He was my husband. |
loved him. and you have killed him"
Very gently Tarzan raised the limp
form Of the Count de Coude and bore
it to a couch. Then he put his ear to
the mans breast.
Some brandy. Olga he said.
She brought it, and together they
forced it between his lips. Presently
a faint gasp came from the white lips
The head turned. and De Coude
groaned.
He will not die" said Tarzan.
Thank God"
why did you do it. Jean?" she
asked.
Il do not know. He struck me, and |
went mad. I have seen the apes Of my
tribe do the same thing. | have never
told you my story, Olga. 1t would have
been better had you known it-this
might not have happened. | never saw
my father. The only mother 1 ever
knew was a ferocious she ape. Until |
was fifteen | had never see a human
being. | was twenty before | saw a
white man. A little more than a year
ago ! was a naked beast OF prey In an
African jungle. Do not judge me too
harshly. Two years is too short a time
in which to attempt to work the change
in an individual that 1t has taken count
less ages to accomplish in the white
race"
Il do not judge you at all, Jean. The
fault is mine. You must go now. He
must not find you here when he re-
gains consciousness. Goodby."
It was q sorrowful Tarzan who walk
ed with bowed head from the palace Of
the Count de Coude.

Once outside his thoughts took def
mite shape. TO the end that twenty min
utes later he entered Il police station
not far from the Rue Maule. Here he
found one of the officers with whom
he had had an encounter several weeks
previous. The policeman was genuine
ly glad to see again the man who had
so roughly handled him. After a mo
ment Of conversation TarZan asked if
he had ever heard Of NikolaS Rokotf or
Alexis Paulvitch.
Very often indeed. monsieur. Each
has a police record. and while there is
nothing charged against them now we
make ii a point TO know pretty well
where they may be found should the
occasion demand. 1t is only the same
%precautiOn that W. taken with every
known criminal. Why does monsieur
ask
They are known to me-" replied
Tarzan. Il wish to see NJ. Rokoff on
a little matter of business. If you can
direct me TO his lodgings | shall appre-
ciate it."
A few minutes later he babe the pc
liceman adieu and. with a slip OF paper
in his pocket bearing a certain address
In a semireSpectable quarter. he walk
ed briskly toward the nearest taxi
stand.
Rokofr and Paulvitch had returned to
their DON and were sitting talking
owe the probable outcome OF the even
ing's events. They had telephoned to
the offices of two OF the morning pa
pers. from which they m~omentarily ex-
pected representatives to hear the first
report of the scandal that was to stir
social Paris on the morrow.

Olga was the first to see him. With
n horritied shrek she tore herself from
Tarzan's arms and the ape-man turned
just in time to ward with his arm a
terrible blow that DE Coude had aimed
at his head. Once. twice. three times
the heavy stick fell with lightning
rapidity and each blow aided in the
transition OF the ape.man back to the
primOrdial.
With h low, cultural Snarl Of the
bull ape he sprang for the Frenchman.
The great stick was orr from his
grasp and broken in two as though il
had been matchwood. to be flung aside
as the now Infatuated beast charged
for his ~adversary's throat.
Olga de Coude stood a Mortified spec
tator to the terrible scene which en-
sued during the next brief moment,
then she sprang to where Tarzan was
numbering her misunderstanding the
life from him-shaking him as a ter
rier might shake a rat.
Frantically she tore at his great
hands. Mother Of God.' she cried.
"You are killing him. you are killing
him! Oh. Jean, you are killing my
husband"
Tarzan was deaf with rage. Sudden
ly he hurled the body to the floor, and,
placing his foot upon the upturned
breast, raised his head. Then through
the palace OF the Count de Coude rang
the awesome challenge Of the bull ape
that has made a kill. From cellar to
attic the horrid sound searched out the
servants and left them blanched and
trembling. The woman in the room
sank to her knees beside the body of
her husband and prayed.
Slowly the red mist faded from be-
fore Tarzan's eyes. Things began to
take form-he was regaining the per-
spective of civilized man. His eyes fell
upon the figure Of the kneeling woman.
Olga" he whispered. She looked W.

MAY | TO MARK CLOSE
OF THE OYSTER SEASON
Illegal to Have Potomac Bivalves in
Maryland or Virginia After
That Date.

While the laws of Maryland and Vir-
gnia make it illegal to take oysters
from the beds in the Potomac river after
April %, those who had oysters i'll their
possession yesterday have until May |
in which to dispose of them. that the
oyster season on the Potomac does not
really close until next Thursday. After
that day any one found in Maryland or
Virginia offering oysters from tire Poto-
mac beds for sale is liable to Il heav:
fine and Imprisonment. In the District
of Columbia there is no closed season for
oysters and the bivalves are on sale
continuously. After the season on the
Potomac is closed the dealers here obtain
their supplies from private bed owners,
who Ship them to the market here in bar
rels. From now until september u the
Potomac oysters beds are to be left un-
disturbed. and in that time the oyster
spat, the seed from which the oyster
grows and which floats about in the
water will attach itself to some hard
object, there to grow until 1t becomes OF
marketable size. Oyster handlers who
have made q study OF oyster propagation
say tina, il takes about four years for
the oyster 70 reach the proper size for
market and tnat it is not at all uncom-
mon to lind oyster bottoms that have
been cleaned OF marketable oysters and
left idle full of good oysters after three
or four years. The oyster protection
laws of Maryland and Virginia have been
enforced in the Potomac. and as conse-
quence it is said that in the past eight
years there has been a considerable IN
crease in the supply of oysters found in
the natural beds. The past season was
no exception to the rule as to the guam
tity and quality of the oysters caught
but Throughout the entire season the de-
mand was light and the oysters have sold
at low prices, ranging about ~ to 80
cents bushel. The low prices. the
oystermen say. has prevented them max
ing much money, but taking It as whole
the season was fairly successful one.
The dealers at the wharf market look
for a good supply of oysters to arrive in
vessels between this and May ], but after
that date the oysters brought here will
be from private beds.
