and tnckcd it on the door of his cabin. which we have pre-emptcd. warning us to ing himself "Tarzan of the Apes
 We have never seen him. though we think he is about. for one of the sailors who was going to shoot Me. Clayton In the back received a spear in his shoulder from some unseen hand in the jungle. Tho sailors left US but me rar supply of food. SO. as we have only a single re- volver with but three cartridges left in it. we do not know how we can procure meat though Mir Philander says that We can exist indefinitely on tho wild fruit and nuts which abound in the jungle.
 l am very tired now. SO l shall go to my funny bed of grasses which Mir Clayton gathered for me, but will add to this from day to day as things happen. Lovingly
 JANE PORTER To Hazel Strong. Baltimore. Maryland. Tarzan sat in brown study for long time after he finished reading the letter. It was filled with so many new and wonderful things that his brain was fin whirl as he attempted to d. gest them all.
 So they did not know that he was Tarzon of the apes. He would tell them. In his tree he had constructed a rude shelter Of leaves and boughs. beneath which. protected from the rain. he had placed the few treasures brought from the cabin. Among these were some pencils.
 He took one. and beneath Jane Por- ter's signature he wrote. q am Tarzan of the apes"
 He thought that would be sufficient Later he would return the letter to the cabin.
 In the matter of food. thought Tar gan. they had no need to worry-he would provide. and he did
 The next morning Jane Porter found Der missing letter in the exact spot from which it had disappeared two nights before. She was mystifed. but when she saw the printed words be- heath her signature she felt chill run up her spine. She showed the letter. or rather the last sheet with the sigma. ture. to Clayton.
 "To think" she said. "that uncanny thing was probably watching me all the time that l was writing-ool If makes me shudder just to think of it." But he must be friendly" reas- sured Clayton. 'for he has returned your letter. nor did he offer to harm you. and unless am mistaken he left a very substantial memento of his friendship outside the cabin door last night. for just found the carcass of a wild boar there as l came out"
 From then on scarcely day passed that did not bring its offering of game or other food. Sometimes 1t was Q young deer. again a quantity of strange cooked food. cassava cakes pilfered from the village of Mbonga. or boar, or leopard. and once a lion.
 Tazan derived the greatest pleasure Of his life in hunting meat for these strangers. It seemed to him that no pleasure on earth could compare with laborirg for the welfare and protection of the beautiful white girl
 Some day he would venture into the camp in daylight and talk with these people through the medium of the little bugs which were familiar to them and to Tarzan
 But he found 1t difficult to overcome the timldlty of the wild thing of the forest, and so day followed day with out seeing fulfllment of his good in tentions.
 The party fin the camp. emboldened by familiarity, wandered farther and farther into the jungle in search oi nuts and fruit
 Scarcely a day passed that did mol find Professor Porter straying in his preoccupied indifference toward the jaws of death. Mir. Samuel T. Philan der. never what one might call robust was worn to the shadow of shadow through the ceaseless worry and men tai distraction resultant from his her. culean efforts to safeguard the profes sor
 month passed. Tarzan had finally determined to visit the camp by day light
 It was early afternoon. Clayton had wandered to the point at the harbor's mouth to look for passing vessels Here he kept great mass of wood high piled ready to be ignited as sig nal should a steamer or a sail top tho far horizon.
 Professor Porter was wandering along the beach south of the camp with Mir. Philander at his elbow urging him to turn his steps back before th' two became again the sport of som' savage beast
 The others gone. Jane Porter ant Esmeralda had wandered into the jun gle to gather fruit and in their searct were led farther and farther from thu cabin.
 Tarzan waited in silence before th' door of the little house until thel should return.
 His thoughts were of the beautiful white girl. They were always of he now. He wondered if she would fea him, and the thought all but caused him to relinquish his plan.
 While he waited he passed the tim printing a message to her. Whethe he intended giving 1t to her he himsel could not have told. but he took inf nite pleasure in seeing his thoughts ex pressed in print. in which he was no so uncivllized after all He wrote:
