The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-01-07

 { weeping copiously for the two she had never heard of before and who had been dead twenty years, chanced to glance toward the harbor. Instantly her tears ceased.
 Look at dem low down white trash out derer' she shrilled, pointing to- Mard the Arrow. ssThey aIEs a-dese- cratin' us right yere on dis yere per vefted isIan'.''
 Surely enough, the Arrow was being worked toward the open sea slowly through the harbor's entrance.
 4'They promised to leave us firearms and ammunition,'' said Clayton. ''The merciIess beastsi''
 ssIt is the work of that fellow they call Snfpes, am sure,,' said Jane Por- ter. aKing was a seoundrel. but he had a little, sense of humanity. If they had not killed him know that he would have seen that we were proper ly provided for before they left us to our fate.''
 -T regret that they did not visit us before sailing" said Professor Porter. ''1 had purposed requesting them to leave the treasure with us, as shall be ruined man if that is lost"
 Jane looked at her father sadly.
 Never mind, dear,'' she said. Tt. wouldn't have done any good. because it is solely for the treasure that they killed their officers and landed us upon this awful shore.v
 Tarzan had seen the consternation depicted upon the faces of the little group as they witnessed the departure of the Arrow, so as the ship was wonderful novelty to him in addition he determined to hasten out to the point of land at the north Of the har- bor,s mouth and obtain nearer view of the great boat, as well as to learn if possible the direction of it's flight
 A very light land breeze was blow ing, and the ship had been worked : through the harbor's mouth under fly ing jib, fore and main royals and mfzzen spankeE, but now that they had cleared the point every available shred of canvas was being spread that she might stand out to sea as handily as possible.
 Tarzan ws tched the graceful move nents of the ship in rapt admiration and longed to be aboard her. Present ly. his keen eyes caught the fafntest suspicion of smoke on the far northern horizon. and he wondered what the cause of it might be-
 At about the same time the lookout on the Arrow must have dfscerned it. for in a few minutes Tarzan saw the sails being shifted The ship came about. and presently he knew that she was coming back toward land.
 At last the ship came up directly into the wind. Tie anchor was lowered: :: down came the sails. There was great scurTying about on deck.
 A boat was lowered. and into the hoat great chest was placed. Then a dozen sailors bent to the oars and puli- ed rapidly toward the point where Tar gan crouched in the branches of a great tree.
 In the stern of the boat, as it drew nearer, Tarzan saw the rat faced man.
 It was but a few minutes later that the boat touched the beach. The men jumped out and lifted the great chest to @he sand They were on the north side of the point. so that their presences was concealed from those at the cabin
 The men argued angrily for a mo- ment Then the rat faced one. with several companions. ascended the low bluff on which stood the tree that con cealed Tarzan. They looked about for several minutes.
 Here is good place. said the rat faced sailor, indicating spot beneath, Tarzan's tree
 1t is as good as any, replied one of his companions. eff they catch us with the treasure aboard itSvilI be con fiscated anyway. We might as we'll bury it here on the chance that some of us will escape the galIows to enjoy 1t later.''
 The rat faced one now called to the mem who had remained at the boat. and they came slowly up the bank carrying picks and shovels-
 tfHurry-you.'' cried Snipes-
 'sStow it.'' retorted one of the men fin sur1y tone. sY ou're no admiral you shrfmpi'
 I'm cap'n here, though, I'll have you to understand. you swabi'' shriek ed Snipes with volley of oaths. %
 Steady, boys. cautioned one of the men who had not spoken before. 'sIt aip't gofn' to get us nothin' by fightin' among ourselves 7
 Right enough replied the sailor who had resented Snipes' autocra tic tones. ..But by the same token it afn't a-goin' to get nobody nothin' to put on airs in this bloornin' company neitler''
 You fellows dig here" said Snipes. indicating a spot beneath the tree And while you're diggin' Peter kin be a-makin' of map of the location so's. we kin find it again. You, Tom and Bill. take q couple more down and fetch up the chest 7
 .Wot are you a-goin' to dor" asked he Of the. previous altercation. <fJusf boss?''
 .Git busy theret' growled snipes. "You didn't think your cap'n was sa-goin' to dig with n shovel. did you ?''
 The men all looked up angrily. None of them liked Silipes. and his disagree able show of authority since he had murdered King. the real head and ring leader of the mutineers. had only add cd fuel to the flames of their hatred.
 Do you mean 10 say that you don't intend to take shovel and lend a hand with .this work 7, asked Tarrant the
