CHAPTER VII.

~HERE was one Of the tribe of
Tarzan who questioned his au-
thority. and that was Terkoz.
the son Of Tublat. but he so
feared the keen knife and the deathly
arrows Of his new lord that he cOntin-
ed the manifestation of his objections
to petty disobediences and irritating
mannerisms. .Tarzan knew. however.
that he but waited his opportunity to
wrest the kingship from him by some
sudden stroke Of %treachery and so he
was always ON guard against surprise.
For months the life of the little band
went on much as it had before, except
that Tarzan's greater intelligence and
his ability as a hunter were the means
of providing for them more bountifully
than ever before. Most of them, there.
fore, were more than content with the
change in rulers.
During this period Tarzan paid many
nocturnal visits to the village, where
he often renewed his supply Of arrows
The blacks had not as yet come upon
Tarzan's cabin on the distant beach
but the ape man lived in constant
dread that. while be was away witt
the tribe. they would discover and de
spoil his treasure. So it came that hi
spent more and more time in the vi
clnity Of his fathers last home anC
less and less with the tribe.
Presently the members of his littl'
community began to suffer ON accoun
of his neglect. for disputes sand quar-
rels constantly arose which only tn
king might settle p%eaceably.

weather, whic hhas enabled the garden

earlier than usual
Considera BILE weakness is characteriz-

on a range OF Il .75Q2.0O per crate. This
is a drop of % cents per crate from
Thursdays quotation. Florida ca bba &c
has started to arrive here in heavy lots.
The stock Is showing sound hard heads,
which usually at this time of the year
sells at good prices, but the warm
weather has promoted a, rapid maturing
of the plant and the supply is unsea-
sonably heavy.

Receipts are liberal both in fruits and
vegetables, according to Fidelity Fruit

market in good shape and prices firm.
Apples are moving well, mostly New
