Going asst.


Once there was a hypochondriac
who used to think that he was dying
about three times week. One day
he was driving out in his automobile,
and one of these spells came over him.
On the road ahead of him he happened
to see his family doctor speeding along
in his roadster. He felt so sick that
he applied all his power in order to
catch up with the doctor as soon as
possible.
But the doctor saw him coming, and
he used all the gas he had to get away
from him. For about three miles they
had a close race. Finally, however,
the doctor had some tire trouble, and
the hypochondriac drew up alongside

during it the priestess stood with pois-

in horror upon the maniacal thing that
was dealing out death and destruction
to her votaries. Slowly he crept to-

time there fell upon Tarzan's surprised
ears language he could understand;
the last one that he would ever have
thought Of employing in attempting to
converse with human beings-the low
cultural barking of the tribe of great
anthropoids-his own mother tongue
And the woman answered the man in
the same language.
He was threatening, she attempting
to reason with him, for it was quite
evident that she saw that he was past
Der authority. The brute was quite
close now-creeping with clawlike
hands extended toward her around
the end of the aItar. AS the brute
leaped past Tarzan to clutch his victim
the ape-man gave one superhumaD
wrench at the thongs that held him.
The effort sent him rolling from the
altar to the stone floor on the opposite
side from that on which the priestess
stood, but as he sprang to his feet the
thongs dropped from his freed arms,
and at the same time he realized that
he was alone in the inner temple-the
high priestess and the mad priest had
disappeared.
And then a muffled scream came
from the cavernous mouth of the dark
hole beyond the sacrifcial altar
through which the priestess had en-.
tered the temple. Without even
thought for his own safety or the pos.
sibility for escape which this rapid Sc.
ries Of fortuitous circumstances had
thrust upon him, Tarzan of the Apes
answered the call of the woman in
danger. With 1.-THE bound he was at

Then the priestess, standing above
him, began reciting what Tarzan took
to be an invocation, the while she

wondered if he were not looking upon
the ruins Of the civilization that this
strange people had wrought amid the
savage surroundings of their strange
and savage home. Could 1t be possible
that even now remnant of that lost
race inhabited the ruined grandeur
that had once been their progenitOrs' !?
Again he became conscious Of a
stealthy movement within the great
temple before him.
Come" he said to his Waziri. LET
us have look at what lies behind
those ruined walls"
As Tarzan entered the building he
was distinctly aware of many eyes
upon him. There was rustling in the
shadows Of a nearby corridor, and he
could have sworn that he saw q hui.

sure that opened above him into the
d0melike rOtunda in which he found
himself.
The floor of the chamber was Of con-
crete, the walls Of smooth granite. upon
which strange figures of men and
beasts were carved. In places tablets
of yellow metal had beer set in the
solid masonry Of the walls.
When he approached closer to one Of
these tablets he saw that 1t was of
gold and bore many hieroglyphics. Be-
yOnd this first chamber there were
others, and back Of them the building
branched out into enormous wings
Tarzan passed through several of these
chambers. finding many evidences of
the fabulous wealth Of the original
builders. In one room were seven pill
lars Of solid gold, and In another the
floor itself was of the precious metal.
And all the while that he explored, his
blacks huddled close together at his
back, strange shapes lowered upon
either hand and before them and be-
hind, yet never close enough that any
might say that they were not alone.
The strain. however, was telling upon
the nerves of the Waziri. They begged
Tarzan to return to the sunlight. They
said that no good could come Of such
an expedition. for the ruins were
haunted by the spirits Of the dead who
had once inhabited them.
''They are watching US, oh, king"
whispered Busuli. "They are waiting
until they have led us into the inner
most recesses of their stronghold, and
then they will fall upon us and tear us
to pieces with their teeth. That Is the
way with spirits. My mothers uncle,
who is great witch doctor, has told
me all about it many times"
Tarzan laughed. Run back into the

That the British forces again have
Strengthened out the line OF battle in
France by hard fighting Is admitted to-
day. That, It is stated, is the real mean
ing of last nights announcement that
the Germans had been driven back 30
miles. The British, by series OF heavy
engagements in which the fighting was
continuous. have prevented General Won
Boehns army from attacking Dunkirk
from the south.
The Germans, following the arrival of
their fresh reserves n week ago pushed
their line steadily westward from Lille
to st. Omer. Because Of the weight OF
numbers IL was necessary for the British
to fall back. When st. Omer was reach
ed. however, they were reinforced by two
French armies and another driving move
ment was begun which only ended after
Armentieres, so miles TO the eastward,
had been occupied in force.
The Allies are now back to their orlgi-
nal line, extending almost due north and
south from the vicinity Of Ostend south
through Armentieres to Arras. This will
compel the Germans. who are operating
from Ostend and moving against Dun
kirk, to make all of their movements
direct frontal assaults against a line that
is reported to be well entrenched in
preparation for just such an anticipated
movement.
There Is much satisfaction expressed in
military circles today over the success
that has been attained by the British
forces in this movement. While no Of
fetal information is obtainable. it is re-
ported here that the Indian forces saw
their first service In this maneuver and
that they covered themselves with glory
in their initial performance.
The general situation is described at
