than my savage jungles,
Paul concluded Tarzan.
after narrating his adven-
lures to his friend the morning fol
lowing his encounter with the apacheS
and police in the Rue NIaule. why
did they lure me there Were they
%hungry?'
D'ArnOt feigned a Mortified shudder.
but he laughed at the quaint sugges-
ton.
We'll" said he. among other things
it has taught you what | have been
unable to impress upon you, that the
Rue SIaule is a good place to avoid
after dark"
"On the contrary" replied Tarzan.
with a smile, 1T has convinced me
that it is the one worth while street in
all Paris. Never again shall | miss
an opportunity to traverse it. for it has
given me the first real entertainment
| have had since | left Africa"
1T may give you more than YOU will
relish even without another visit" said
D'ArnOt. You are not through with
the police yet. remember. | know the
Paris police we'll enough to assure You
that they will not soon forget what
you did to them. Sooner or later they
will get you. my dear Tarzan. and
then they will lock the wild man OF
the woods mp behind iron bars. How
will you like that?"
'1Tbav will navor lnply Toryon of Nh,
Apes behind iron bars" replied he
grimly. There was something in the
mans voice as he said it that caused
D'ArnOt TO look up sharply at his
friend. What he saw in the set jaw
and the cold, gray eyes made the young
Frenchmau very apprehensive for this
great child. who could recognize no
law mightier than his own mighty
physical proweSS. He saw that some
thing must be done to set Tarzan right
with the police before another encoun-
ter was possible.
You have much to learn. TarZan.'
he said gravely. The law of man
must be respected whether you relish
it or no. Nothing but trouble can
come to you and your friends should
you persist in defying the police. /

hereafter you must obey the law. lr

this matter of the Rue Maule. Comet"
Together they entered the office OF
the police official a half hour later. He
was very cordial. He remembered
TarZan from the visit the two had
made him several months prior in the
matter of the finger prints. Having
heard TarZan's story. he assured him
that no harm would come to him from
the police as a result of his nights ad-
venture.
On their return to D'Arnot's apart
ments the lieutenant found a letter
awaiting him from an English friend.
William Cecil Clayton. Lord Grey
stoke. The two had maintained a cor
respOndence since the birth of their
friendship on that i'll tated expedition
in search of Jane Porter after her
theft by Terkoz. the Dull ape. from
whom she had beer sou by Tar
gan.
They are TO be married In London
in about two months" said D'ArnOt
as he completed his perusal Of the let
ter. Tarzan did not need to be told
who was meant by they" He made
no reply. but he was very quiet II
thoughtful during the balance Of the
day.
That evening they attended the
opera. Tarzan's mind was still occu-
pied by his gloomy thoughts. He paid
little or no attention to what was
transporting upon the stage. Instead.
he saw only the lovely vision Of a
beautiful American girl and heard
naught but a sad. sweet voice ac-
knowledging that his love was return
ed. And she was to marry another!
He shook himself to be rid of his un-
welcome thoughts. and at the same in.
slant he felt eyes upon him. With the
instinct that was his by virtue of train
ing he looked up squarely into the
eyes that were looking at him to find
that they were shining from the smil-
ing face of Olga. Countess de Coude.
