disappointment
 Finding that it seemed impossible to trap Tarzan through any voluntary act of his own, Rokof and Paulvitch put their heads together to hatch plan that would trap the ape-man in all the circumstantial evidence of compro- missing position
 For days they watched the papers as well as the movements of De Coudes and Tarzan. At length they were re warded. A morning paper made brief mention of a smoker that was to be given on the following evening by the German ambassador. De Coude's name was among those of the invited guests If he attended this meant, that he would be absent from his home until after midnight
 On the night of the banquet Paul witch waited at the curb before the res idence of the ambassador, where ne could scan the face of each guest that arrived. He had not long to wait be fore De Coude descended from his car and passed him. That. was enough PauIvitch hastened back to his quar- ters, where Rokof awaited him. There they waited until after Il, then Paul witch took down the receiver of their telephone He called the number of the apartments of Lieutenant D'Arnot
 ssM Tarzan?
 ssAh yes. monsieur, this is Francois in the service of the Countess de Coude. Possibly monsieur does poor Francois the honor to recall him-yes
 .sYes. monsieur I have message, an urgent message from the countess. She asks that you hasten to her at once-she is in trouble, monsieur.
 Paulvitch hung up the receiver and turned to grin at Rokof
 tsIt will take him thirty minutes to get there If you reach the German ann bassador's in fifteen De Coude should arrive at his home in about forty-hye minutes. It all depends upon whether the fool will remain fifteen minutes ] after he finds that a trick has been i played upon him, but unless am mis- taken Olga will be loath to let him go in so short time as that Here. is the note for De Coude. Hasten!'
 PauIvitch lost no time in reaching the German ambassadors. At the door he handed the note to footman. .gThis l is for the Count de Coude. It is very urgent. You must see that 1t is placed in his bands at once,'' and he dropped piece of silver into the willing hand of the servant. Then he returned t. his quarters.
 A moment later De Coude was apol ogizing to his host as he tore open tht envelope. What he read left his fact white and his hand trembling: l M le Count de Coude-One who wishe. to save the honor of your name takes this means to warn you that the sanctfty o your home is this minute in jeopardy.
 A certain man who for months has beer a constant visitor there during your ab sence is with your wife If you gt at once to your countess boudoir you vii find them together A FRIEND
 Twenty minutes after Paulvftch hat called Tarzan, Rokoff obtained a con 1ection with Olga's private line. He maid answered the telephone. wficl was in the countess boudoir. .But madame has retfred,'' said ths maid in answer to Rokoff's request ts speak with her.
