It had been hard for him to remain with the Frenehman all these days That he had done so spoke more glow ingly for his nobility of character than even did his rescuings of the French officer from Mbonga's clutches.
 D'Arnot was only too willing to at tempt the journey.
 'Buts you cannot carry me all ythe distance through this tangled forest" he wrote. >..s.s.-szs...s
 Earzan laughed.
 ''Mais oui," he said. and D'Arnot. laughed aloud to hear the phrase that he used so often glide from Tarzan's tongue. se
 So they set out, DsArnot marveling, as had Clayton and Jane Porter. at the wondrous strength and agility of the ape man. sfsssa s.s.ssssA.ssssss seg ]
 ATidafternoon brought them to the clearing, and as Tarzan dropped to earth from the branches of the last tree his heart feaped and bounded against his ribs in anticipation of see ing Jane Porter so soon again. e.
 No one was in sight with out the cabs in- D'Arnot was perplexed to note that neither the cruiser nor the ArroW was at anchor in the bay.
 An atmosphere of loneliness perva6i- ed the spot which caught SuaQenty aT both men as they strode toward the cabin.
 Tarzan lifted the latch and pushed the great door in upon its swooden hinges. It was as they had feared. The cabin was deserted.
 The men turned and looked at one another. D'Arnot knew that his peo- pie thought him dead, but Tarzan thought only of the woman who had kissed him in love and now had fled from him while he was serving one of her people.
 A great bitterness rose in his heart. He would go away, far into the jungle, and join his tribe. Never would he see one of. his own kind again, nor could he bear the thought of returning to the cabin

No, shall net gos nor should yout" had. Tarzan did not want to see him more. He wanted to get away from everything that might remind him of Jane Porter.
 As Tarzan stood upon the threshold breeding D'Arnot had entered the cabs in Many comforts he saw that had been left behind.
 He recognized numerous articles from the cruiser-a camp oven, some, kitchen utensils,a carbine and many. rounds of ammunition, canned foods. blankets, two chairs and cot and several books and periodicals, mostly American fsThey must intend return ing" thought D'Arnot.
 He walked over to the table that John Clayton had built so many. years before to serve as desk, andson it he saw two notes addressed toxTarzan of the apes.
 One was in strong masculine hand and was unseaIed. The other, in woman's hand, was sealed.
 Here are two messages for you, TArzan of the apes,'' cried D'Arnot, turning toward the door, but his com panion was not there.
 D'Arnot walked to the door and look ed out Tarzan was nowhere in sight. He called aloud, but there was no re- sponse.
 ..Mon Dieur' exclaimed D'Arnots ''He has left me, feel it. He has gone back to his Jungle and left me here alone.''
 Far to the east Tarzan of the apes was speeding through the middle ter race back to his tribe. Never had he T | x-r-1.- .
 He passed above the sinuous. striped body of Sabor, the tiger, going in the opposite direction-toward the cabin, thought Tarzan.
 What could D'Arnot do against Sa- Dor. or if Bolganis the gorilla. should come upon him, or Numa, the lion, or cruel Sheeta?
 Tarzan paused in his flight.

 If you are an ape you will do as the apes would do-leave one of your kind to die In the jungle if it suited your whim to go; elsewhere.

 Possibly it contained word that his people had but left the beach tembo- rnrily. He felt that it would be no brench of ethics to read this letter. so he took the inclosure from the envel- ope and read.
 To Tarzan of the Apes:
