Bisbee daily review., 1914-04-26

 she had had nothing whatever to do with the selection of a husband it Is not at all unlikely that she was not wildly and passionately in love with the one that fate and her titled Russian fa- ther had selected for her. However, simply because she was surprised into n tiny exclamation of approval at sight of splendid young stranger it must not be inferred therefrom that her thoughts were in any way disioyal to her spouse. She merely admired, as she might have admired a particularly fine specimen of any species Further more. the young man was unquestion- ably good to look at
 As her furtive glance rested upon his profile. he rose to leave the deck. The Countess de Coude beckoned to passing steward.
 "Who is that gentleman;" she asked.
 He is booked madame. as NJ. Tar gan of Africa" replied the steward.
 Rather a large estate" thought the girl. but now her interest was still fur ther aroused.
 As Tarzan walked slowly toward the smoking room he came unexpectedly upon two men whispering excitedly just without. He would have vouch- safed them not even passing thought but for the strangely guilty glance that one of them shot in his direction. Tarzan entered the smoking room and sought chair a little apart from the others who were there. He felt in no mood for conversation. and as he slipped his absinth he let his mind run rather sOrrowfully over the past few weeks of his life. Time and again he had wondered if be had acted wisely Fin renouncing his birthrieht to a man to whom he owed nothing. It Is true that he liked Clayton. but-ah, but that was not the question. It was not for William Cecil Clayton. Lord Grey stoke. that he had denied his birth. It was for the woman whom both he and Clayton loved and whom strange freak of fat had given to Clayton in stead of to him.
 That she loved him made the thing doubly difficult to bear yet he knew l that he could have done nothing less 1 than he did do that night within the i little railway station in the far Wis | cousin woods. To him her happiness was the first consideration of all. and ! his brief experience with civilization 1 and civilized men had taught him that without money and position life to ! most of them was uncomfortable.
 Jane Porter had been born to both. and had TarZnn taken them away from her future husband 1t would doubtless have plunged her into life of misery and torture. That she would have spurned Clayton once he had been stripped of both his title and his estates never for once occurred to Tar gan. for he credited to others the same honest loyalty that was so inherent a quality Tn himself. Nor in this in stance had he erred.
 TaZan's thoughts drifted from the past to the future. He tried to look forward with pleasurable sensations tC his return to the jungle of his birth and boyhood. the cruel, fierce junglC in which he had spent twenty of his twenty-two years But who or what of all the myriad jungle life would there be to welcome his return? Not one. Only Tantor. the elephant, coult he call friend The others would hunt him or flee from him as had been thell way in the past.
 Not even the apes of his own trib' would extend the hand of fellowship to him.
 1T civilization had done nothing els' for Tarznn of the Apes it had tO sOm' extent taught him 10 crave the soclet! of his own kind and to feel with genu inc pleasure the congenial warmth O companionship. And in the same rati' had it made any other life distastefu to him. It was difficult to imagine world without n friend-wlthout liv ing thing who spoke the new tongue
 which Tarzan had learned to love & well And so it was that Tarzan look ed with little relish upon the future h had mapped out for himself.
