An instant he paused thus as though
turned to stone. and then, with an aw-
ful scream, he sprang.
Sabor, the tiger, was a wise hunter.
To one less wise the wild alarm of his
fierce cry as he sprang would have
seemed a foolish thing, for could he
not more surely have fallen upon his
victims had he but quietly leaped with
out that loud shrek?
But SAILOR knew we'll the wondrous
Quickness of the jungle folk and their
almost unbelievable powers of hearing.
70 them the sudden scraping Of one
blade Of grass across another was as
ehectual a warning as his loudest cry,
and SAILOR knew that he could not
make that leap without a little noise.
His wild scream was not a warning,
but instead was meant to freeze his
poor victims in a paralysis of terror
for the tiny fraction Of an instant,
which would suffice for his mighty
claws to sink into their soft flesh and
hold them beyond peradventure of es.

to him that his father had been a
strange white ape, but he did not
know that Kala was not his own
mother.
On this day he went directly to the
door and spent hours examining it and
fussing with the hinges, the knob and
the latch. Finally he stumbled upon
the right combination. and the door
swung creakingly open before his as
tonished eyes.
For some minutes he did not dare
venture within, but finally, as his eyes
became accustomed to the dim light of
tn, interior. he slowly and cautiously
entered.
In the middle of the floor lay a
skeleton, every vestige Of flesh gone
from Che bones. to which still chung the
widowed remnants Of what had once
been clothing; upon the bed lay a
similar grewsome thing, but smaller.
while in a tiny cradle near by was a
third. a wee mite of a skeleton.
To none of these evidences Of an old
tragedy did little Tarzan give but pass
ing heed. His wild jungle life had in
ured him to the sight Of dead and dy-
ing animals. and had he known that he
was looking upon the remains Of his
own father and mother he would have
been no more greatly moved.
The furnishings and other contents
Of the room 1t was which riveted his
attention. He examined many things
MISUNDERSTANDING tools and weapons,
books, papers, clothing-what little had
withstood the ravages Of time in the
humid atmosphere of the jungle coast.
He opened chests and cupboards,
such as did not battle his small expert
ence, and in these he found the con.
tents much better preserved.
Among other things he found a sharp
hunting knife, on the keen blade Of
which he Immediately proceeded to cut
his finger. Nothing daunted, he con-
tinued his experiments, finding that he
could hack and hew splinters Of wood
from the table and chairs with this
new toy.
For a long time this amused him;
but, finally firing, he continued his ex-
p%lorations. In a cupboard filed with
books he came across one with bright
~ colored pictures. It was a child's H.
Illustrated alphabet:
A Is for archer.

B is for boy.

A Jungle Battle.

Tarzan found in the cabin in

There were many apes with
faces similar to his own, and farther
over In the book he found under ''M'
some little monkeys such as he saw
daily fitting through the trees of his
primeval forest. But nowhere was pic
tured any of his own people. In all
the book was none that resembled Ker-
chak or Tublat or Kala.
At first he tried to pick the little fig
ures from the paper. but he soon saw
that they were not real, though he
knew not what they might be, nor had
he any words to describe them.
The boats and trains and cows and
horses were quite meaningless to him.

fellow crouched trembling just an in
slant, but that instant was quite long
enough to prove his undoing.
Not SO, however, with Tarzan, the
man-child. Before him lay the deep
waters of the little lake, behind him
certain death-a cruel death beneath
tearing claws and rending fangs.
Tarzan had always hated water, ex-
cept as a medium for quenching his
thirst. He hated it because he ON
nected 1t with the chill and discomfort
Of the %torrential rains, and he feared
It for the thunder and lightning and
wind which accompanied 1t.
But Of the two evils his quick mind
chose the lesser, and before the great
beast had covered half his leap Tarzan
felt the chill waters close above his
head.
He could not swim, and the water
wat very deep. But still he lost no
particle Of that self reliance and re-
sourcefulness which were the badges
OF bis superior being.
Rapidly he moved his hands and feet
In an attempt to scramble upward,
and, possibly more by chance than de-
sign, he fell into the stroke that a dog
uses when swimming, so that within a
few seconds his nos was above water,
and he found that he could keep it
there by continuing his strokes and
also make progress through the water.
He was much surprised and pleased
with this new requirement which had
been so suddenly thrust upon him, but
he had 10 time for thinking much
upon 1t.
he was now swimming parallel to
the bank, and there he saw the cruel
beast that would have seized him
crouching upon the still form Of his
playmate.
The tiger was intently watching Tar
len, evidently expecting him to return

MERELY COMMENT
If Roger Sullivan is shy an issue to
run on, he might take a bold stand
for Home Rule for Ireland.
1t would be a good joke on Euro
pean bankers if the common folks
who hate war would draw out their
savings.
Most of the money in banks,
y'know, belongs to depositors.
In the meantime, Jim Patten, Chi
cago's leading gambler, cleaned up
on the rise in the grain market.
Jim knows how to get the coin
without working for it.
Some of our leading taxdodgers
ought to be duly thankful for favors
received from Aleck Mccormick.
He is making it tough job for
.Hoyne to get after the big tax cheats.
But then AIeck is a newspaper pet
and stands well in swell sassiety.
Just watch the trust press try to
put him back as president of the
county board. .
Some politicians who are very fond
of vice themselves are making big
bluff at fighting it-BECAUSE
They think that will get 'em the
woman vote.
But what if the women are not
such big fools as some of the poll
ticians think they are?
Andy Lawrence is again busy
showing union labor what to do, and
Simon O'Donne1 is right there with
Andy again.
Do you remember how Andy and
Simon got out trades union edition

HAROLD HOOPS is OUT AGAIN
IN THE WooLLY WEST
Harold Fabyan Hoops, son of the
millionaire fireplace manufacturer,
until recently resident of the Elgin
Insane Asylum, and more recently a
bridegroom, is out again. -.
Hoops has been before the public
in one affair or another for the past
year. He just can't help it. His trou-
bles started about a year ago when
he forged a check and his father let
the law take it's course, with the re-
suit that Harold went to the Bride
well. Later he was committed to FL
gin, but given as much freedom as
though he were at the Sherman
House. .

made recently he met, wooed and
married within a day-then disap-
peared. He was sent back to Elgin

PEST REFUSED ADMlTTANCE

Government Officials.

The federal horticultural board has
Intercepted a shipment of cotton seed
from Egypt which was found TO be
heavily infested by the sO-called PINK
boil worm This is a result Of the
quarantine against cotton seed which
was promulgated by the board some
time ago. The seed, which was in
tended for planting in Arizona, ar
rived in Boston, where the customs
officials, under instructions from the
board, obtained possession Of it.
The pink boil worm is the most seri-
GUS cotton pest in Egypt. In that
country it does as much damage as
the boil weevil in this country. The
possibility of reducing the damage 1t
causes has been considered by gov
ernmental commissions and confer
ences for several years. Like the
boil weevil, 1t works for the greater
mart of its existence within the bolls.
Frequently it makes its way inside
the seeds, where it can live for an
indefinite time. In fact, in expert
ments performed in the ministry of
agriculture in Egypt ii was found
that the worms have lived for as long
as seven months in seed in storage.

Hay Litter Cannot
Fall the Necks Shoulders o Sheep.

though II the shed is convenient 10
the pasture they will generally go
into it of their own will, particularly
when a gusty, heavy wind and rain
storm comes on.
Lambs are silly pates and must al
ways be shown things. If they are
made to enter the shed with the moth
er in time of storm they will soon
learn to do so always, but they must
be watched or else they may wander
about in the rain and get soaked and
chilled and die.
If the sheep carry heavy coats dur
ing the rainy spring months they are
likely to become soaked, because they
will often stay out till they feel the
water on their hides. Once a heavy
deece is thoroughly wet through, 1t
takes a long time to dry out, particu-
larly in cloudy weather.
This Is one reason why sheep
should be sheared early as possible
On the home farm of the writer we
always sheared our sheep In March
and with good results, both as to
the wool crop and the health OF the
sheep. We used the old-fashioned>
spring, sharp-pohted shears, but the
hand machines of today are much bet
ter. Some men who go about from
farm to farm shearing sheep still use
the old hand shears and an expert Will
do very we'll with them, but the anna
teur will make sad work of the shear
ing and clip many a piece fom the
animals skin.
With a hand machine a smkIl flock
can be quickly disposed of by the
owner of the flock, who should al
ways do his own shearing. For large
tlocks the power machines in the
hands of experts do the work rapidly
and well.

If the SOW eats her young, it is a

Lime should frequently be scattered

When the chicks stand around list

High roosts, when one keeps the

The lack of good, sharp grit is the
cause of many poultry ailments. In
digestion is one of the principal ones.
