TARTAN OF THE APES
By EDGAR RICE
 BURROUGHS
Copyright. iol1. by the Frank A.
 munsey Company

But when finally he realized that his antn couist was fastened Co him where his teeth and fists alike were useless against hln Tcrkoz hurled himself about upon the ground so violently that Tarzan could but cling desperate ly to the leaping. turning. twisting body. and ere he had struck a blow the knife was hurled from his hand by a heavy impact against the earth.
 TarZan found himself defenseless.
 During the rollings and squrmings of the next few minutes Tarzan's hold was lodscned a dozen times. until final ly an accidental circumstance of those swift and ever changing evOlntions gave him new hold with his right hand. which he soon realized was ab. solutely unassailable.
 His arm was passed beneath Ter koz's arm from behind. and his hand aud forearm encircled the back of Ter kegs neck. It was the half nelson of modern wrestling which the untaught ape man had stumbled upon. but di- vine reason showed him in an instant the value of the thing he had discov- cred. lt was the difference to him be- tween life and death.
 And so he struggled to encompass a similar hold with the left hand. In few moments Terkozs bull neck was creaking beneath a full nelson.
 There was no more lunging about now. The two lay perfectly still upon the ground, Tarzan upon Terko2s back Slowly the bullet head of the ape was being forced lower and lower upon bis chest.
 Tarzan knew what the result woulc be. In an instant the neck would break. Then there came to Terkozs rescue the same thing that had put him in these sore straits--a mans req soning power.
 If kill him." thought Tarzan. what advantage will 1t be to me? Will it not but rob the tribe of a great fighter? And If TerkoZ is dead he will know nothing of my supremacy. while alive he will be an example to the oth- CT apes"
 "Hn.godaT' hissed Tarzan in Ter koz's ear. which in ape tongue means. freely translated. Do you surrender"
 For a moment there was no reply. and Tarzan added few more ounces of pressure. which ellcited a mortified shr'ek of pain from the great beast.
 "Ka.goda?" repeated Tarzan.
 "Ka-goda" cried TerkoZ.
 Listen" said Tarzan, easing up a trihe. but not releasing his hold. '1 am Tazan. king of the apes. mighty hunter. mighty lighter. In an the jun gle there is none so great.
 You have said 'Ka-goda' to me. All the tribe have heard. Quarrel no more with your king or your people. for next time l shall kill you. Do you underestimate"
 Huh" assented Terkoz.
 And you are satsfedf'
 Huh" said the ape.
 Tarzan let him up. and in few minutes all were back ut their voca. tions as though naught had occurred to mar the tranquility of their prime val forest hounts.
 But deep in the minds of the apes was rooted the conviction that Tarzan was mighty fighter and a strange creature-strange because he had had it in his power to kill his enemy, but had allowed him to live. unharmed.

GOVERNMENT ECONOMY

Before close may ! say q few
words upon two topics much discussed
out of doors upon which IT is highly
important that our judgments should
be clear, definite and steadfast?
One of these is economy In govern

and imperative. In the appropriations
we pass we are spending the money

are-not our own. We are trustees and
