 The girl, who had been half para lyzed by fear as the two men fought, had just commenced to give thought to her probable fate now that, though re- leased from the clutches of a madman, she had fallen into the hands of one whom but a moment before she had been upon the point of killing She looked about for some means of escape. The black mouth of the diverging cor ridor was near at hand but as she turned to dart into it the ape-man's eyes fell upon her and with a quick leap he was at her side and a restrain ing hand was laid upon her arm.
 "Wmt." said Tarzan of the Apes, in the language of the tribe of Kerchak.

Tbe priestcss led the victim to the altar steps Again}the' galleries above filled with wutcbkrs. while from an arched doorway at the east end of the chamber a procession of females filed slowly into the room. They wore. like the men, only skins of wild animals caught about their waists with raw hide belts or chains Of gold but the black masses of their hair were in- crusted with golden headgear composed of many circular and oval pieces of gold ingeniously held together to form metal cap from which depended at each side of the head long strings Of oval pieces falling to the waist
 Each priestess bore two golden cups, and as they formed in line on either side of the altar the men formed oppo- site them, advancing and taking each a cup from the female opposite. Then the chant began once more, and pres ently from a dark passageway beyond the altar another female emerged from the cavernous depth beneath the cham Der.
 The high priestess, thought Tarzan. She was a young woman with a rather intelligent and shapely face. Her or naments were similar to those worn by her votaries. but much more elaborate, many being set with diamonds In the girdle she carried long, jeweled knife, and in her hand a slender wand in lieu of a bludgeOn.
 As she advanced to the opposite side of the altar she halted and the chant ing ceased. The priests and priestesses llnet before her, while with wand ex- tended above them she recited a long and tiresOme prayer
 When she finished her prayer she let her eyes rest for the first time upon Tarzan With every indication of con siderable curiosity she examined him from head to foot. Then she addressed him and stood waiting. as though she expected a reply.
 CT do not understand your language, said Tarzan Possibly we may speak ! together in another toncuef' But she could not understand him. though he tried French, English, Arabic, Waziri and as a last resort. the mongrel tongue of the West Coast

 The faint light that filtered in from above showed him a large low ceiled vault from which several dOorways led off into iuly darkness, but there was no need to thread an unknown way, for there before him lay the objects of his search-the mad brute had the girl upon the floor, and gorilla-like fingers were clutching frantically at her throat as she struggled to escape the fury of the awful thing upon her

CHICAGO PEACE CONFERENCE
is SOMETHING OF A FLVVER
President Hermann and Weeg hman Fail to
Reach Understanding, But Former Says
Wards Will Be Taken Care of in East.

According to Garry everything is run
ming along smoothly and will come to
a head before the 1st of December. He
said that two propositions were stand
ing in the way of peace and that they
were the sale of the Cubs to Weegh-
man and another deal which would
transfer an eastern team to the Wards.
He refused to name the teams the
Wards are supposed to be after.
A wild rumor hit local circles while
Hermann was consulting himself yes
terday. 1t came from Omaha and said
the deal for the sale of the Cubs had
been concluded. This Garry emphati-
cally denied. From local viewpoint
it appears as though organized ball
had the stage set for grandstand play
before the minor leagues by announc-
ing today that the deal had been fin
ished. Mr.. Tafts presence was neces-
sary before anything could be done.
He failed to show and the whole affair
fell through. The supposition is that
the person or persons in Omaha who
were to make the big announcement
"let 'er go" when they received no word
from the local conference.

Special Dispatch to The star.
CHICAGO, November 13.-Yesterday's
peace conference between organized
ball and the Federal League proved a
fiivver. In the first place no other par
ties were present except Charley
Weeghman and Garry Hermann. This
pair talked for three-quarters of an
hour during the morning and made an
engagement for another meeting in the
afternoon.
Tie afternoon session proved one
man affair, for Weeghman farled to
show up. After consulting himself for
an hour or 50, Garry Hermann an
nounced he had dropped out of the ne
@otiations. He said further efforts to
sell the Cubs would have to be conduct
ed between Owner Taft and Charley
Weeghnan. Hermann said he had
not withdrawn altogether, but that he
was ready to step in and do his share
toward Strengthening out the difficulty.

BOOSTING GOOD ROADS.


dent, the Washington State Good
Roads Association is fathering a
movement to bring D. Ward King,
known throughout the highway world
as the originator and inventor of the
King Split-log drag. to the state of
Washington to deliver series of lee
lures and demonstrate the King drag
system of maintenance for earth and
gravel roads.
The association believes Mr.. King
will arouse sufficient interest here,
as be has in other states, to bring
about well-nigh state wide use of the
drag. Mr.. King has achieved fame as
a demonstration and lecturer, and his
success in popularizlng the drag has
been nothing short Of marvellous. In
Missouri, for instance, as result or
Kings lectures, thousands of miles OF
unspeakably bad earth roads have
been developed into fine highways,
and properly maintained through the
use of the King drag. And the ex-
pense per mile averaged about $15 a
year.
Acting upon the suggestion of Pres
ident Morris, the Automobile Club
of Seattle has agreed to finance one
of these lectures, and in addition has
donated a sufficient sum to take care
of the expense of arranging for the
series of lectures which the associa-
tion hopes to have held in at least
ten of the larger cities of the state.
It is the associations aim to have
Mr.. King deliver a lecture in Spo-
kane, Walla Walla, North Yakima,
Colfax, Wenatchee, Vancouver, Che
halls, Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Raymond,
Tacoma, Everett, Centralia, Belling-
ham, Port Townsend, Renton, Seat
tie, Snohomish, Kent, Auburn. Puy-
allup, Olympia, Issaquah, Monroe,
Mount Vernon, Sedro-W oolIey and
Blain.
To carry on All active campaign to
this end, the association has sent
S. p. Davis Washington King-split-
log drag expert, on a tour of the
state. 'King" Davis will carry
credentials from President Morris,
and letter urging the various COM
munities to get in line and help edu
cate the people about road mainte-
nance, one of the most important fea
lures of the highway movement.
The movement to bring King to
Wa shington is in keeping with reso-
lutions adopted at the last annual
convention of the Washington State
Good Roads Association in North
Yakima, which voted to urge the leg
islature to enact a compulsory drag
law. Kings lectures and the drag
contests inaugurated by him, are ex-
pected to pave the way for this law.
