strange ending Of a strange duel. None
spoke until De Coude had quite finish
ed; then he looked up at Tarzan.
You are a very brave and chival-
rou gentleman" he said. Il thank
God that | did not kill you"
De Coude was a Frenchman. French
men are impulsive. He threw his arms
about TarZan and embraced him. NJ.
Flaubert embraced D'ArnOt. There
was no one to embrace the doctor. So
possibly it vas pique which prompted
him TO interfere and demand that he
be permitted to dress Tarzan's wounds.
This gentleman was hit once at
least he said. possibly thrice"
Twice" said TarZan. "once in the
left shoulder and again in the left side
both flesh wounds, l think" But
the doctor insisted upon stretching him
upon the sward and tinkering with
him until the wounds were cleansed
and the flow of blood checked.
One result Of the duel was that they
all rode back to Paris together in DAT
not's car, the best of friends. De
Coude was so relieved to have had this
double assurance Of his wife's loyalty
that he felt no rancor at all toward
Tarzan. 1t is true that the latter had
assumed much more Of the fault than
was rightly his. but if he lied a little
he may be excused. for he lied in the
service of a woman, and he lied like a
gentleman.
The ape-man was confined to his bed
for several days. He felt that it was
foolish and unnecessary, but the doctor
and D'Arnot tool the matter so to
heart that he gave in to please them,
though it made him laugh to think
Of it.
lit is droll,' be said 70 D'Arnot, 'to
lie abed because of a pinprick! Why
when Bolgani. the king gorilla, tore me

vegetation of the jungle. Hidden be

mad TO have seen. Yet | recovered
recovered to lie in bed because of a
tiny scratch that one of the jungle folk
would scarce realize unless it were
upon the end of his nose"
But the time was soon over and be
fore he realized it Tarzan found him
self abroad again. Several times De
Coude had called and when he found
that TarZan was anxious for employ
ment Of some nature he promised to
see what could be done to find a berth
for him.
1t was the first day that Tarzan was
permitted 10 go out and he received a
message from De Coude requesting him
to call at the counts office that after

He found De Coude awaiting him
with a very pleasant welcome and q
sincere congratulation that he was

thing for you. NJ. Tarzan." said the
count. 1T is a position Of much trust

Condition in Paris
About Normal Again

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1L-Conditions in
Paris are virtually normal again and
the populace is calm. according to in
formation received by the State depart
ment from Myron T. Herrick, ambas-
sador to France. The situation OF Amer
leans apparently is relieved, as the am
bassador's cable made no mention of II.
The chief sign OF war in the French cap
itol, the amba ssador reported. Is the
slight rise in the prices OF food.
Reports from Genoa, Italy, TO the state
department state that 5000 American ref
ugees are expected TO arrive there from
Switzerland. Twenty-Five hundred al
ready are at Genoa awaiting transporta-
ton home The American consul at
Naples reported that go Americans have
sailed from that port aboard the steamer
San. Giovanni. The United States is now
caring for the diplomatic interests of
Russia. as well as the other belligerent
powers OF Europe. except Servia and
Montenegro. The addition OF Russia was
viewed with interest because Of the alb
sence Of treaty relations between the
United States and Russia. The Russian
treaty was denounced by this country in
1911, and no treaty to replace II has been
negotiated.

However II also is designed 10 bring to
an end German rule in a territory, which,
Japan contends, threatens Chinss in
tegrity and peace in the far east. The
German stronghold lies directly opposite
Korea, where Japan is developing colonies,
and across the sea from the southern
Japanese islands.
The British Viewpoint.
The first move in the immediate situa-
ton was made at the outbreak OF war in
Europe when China expressed the hope
that Il might depend on the policy of the
United States as an influence against vio-
lation Of Its neutrality. Then the Berlin
government sounded American sentiment
over the proposition OF neutralizing Ger
man provinces in China Through the
United States the German attitude in
formally was conveyed to Japan. That
governments response was the intimation
that whatever steps Japan might feel
compelled TO take to discharge its share
in the Angio-Japanese alliance. the
United States could rest assured OF the
intention 10 maintain China's integrity.
Germany's naturalization proposal appa-
rently was not favored in Toxic.
Since the German fleet sailed into Kiau-
Chau harbor sixteen years ago and
claimed the territory as indemnity for
alleged attacks on German missionaries,
Japan's avowed intention has been to re-
store 1t 10 its oriental neighbor. The
Anglo-Japanese alliance was said TO have
brought about Japan's decisive step in
that direction. Recent exchanges between
officials of the japanese and British gov
ernments were said 10 have resulted In
Great Brltain's taking the attitude that
It's special interests In the far east az
mentioned in the treaty were menaced

to have lost no time in accepting the
