them often near tiie cioseisand Siient cabin by the little lnndlocked harbor. To Tarz0n this was always @ source of never ending mystery and pleasure.
 He would peek into the curtalned windows or. climbing upon the roof, peer down the black depths of tue chimney in vain endeavor to solve the unknown wonders that lay within those strong walls.
 It was on the next visit to the vicinl- ty following the adventure with old Sabor that as he approached the cabin Tarzan noticed that from distance the door appeared as though an inde- pendent part of the wall in which it was set. and for the first time it oc- cured to him that this might prove the means of entrance which had SO long eluded him.
 He was alone. as was often the case when he visited the cabin. The apes had no love for 1t. The story of tue thunder stick. having lost nothing in the telling during these ten years, had quite surrounded the white mans de serted cabin with an atmosphere of weirdness and terror for the slmians. The story of his own connected with the cabin had never been told him. In a dim. vague way had Kala explained

have belonged to his fair young mother had she lived
 When he was dlsobedient she cuffed him. it Is true. but she was never cruel to him and was more often caressing than chastising him.
 Tublat. her husband. always hated Tarzan and on several occasions had come near ending his youthful career.
 Tarzan's superior intelligence and cunning permitted him to invent q thousand diabolical tricks to add to the burdens of Tublat's life.
 Early in his boyhood he had learned to form ropes by twisting and tying long grasses together and with these he was forever tripping Tublat or at tempting to hang him from some over hanging branch.
 By constant playing and experiment. ing with these he learned to tie rude knots and make sliding nooses. and with these he and the younger apes amused themselves. What TarZan did they tried to do also, but he alone orig mated and became proficient.
 One day while playing thus TarZan had thrown his rope at one of his flee ing companions. retaining the other end in his grasp By accident the moose fell squarely about the running apes neck. bringing him to sudden and surprising halt.
 An. here was new game. a fine game. thought Tarzan. and immediate ly he attempted to repeat the trick. And thus. by painstaklng and contin. ued practice, he learned the art of rop' ing.
 Now. indeed, was the life of Tublat living nightmare. In sleep. upon the march, night or day, he never knew when that quiet moose would slip about his neck and nearly choke the life out of him. Kala punished. Tublat sworc dire vengeance. and old Kerchak tool, notice and warned and threatened. but | all to no avail
 In Tarzan's clever little mind many thoughts revolyed, and back of thes, was his divine power of reason.
 If he could catch his fellow apes with his long arm of many grasses why not Sabor, the tiger?
 Thefwanderings of the tribe brought

to him that his father had been Q strange white ape, but he did no, know that Kala was not his own mother.
 On this day he went directly to the door and spent hours examining it and fussing with the hinges, the knob and the latch. Finally he stumbled upon the right combination. and the door swung creakingly open before his az tonished eyes.
 For some minutes he did not dare venture within. but finally. as his eyes became accustomed to the dim light Of thi interior, he slowly and cautiously entered.
 In the middle Of the floor lay skeleton. every vestige of flesh gone from the bones. tO which still clung the mildewcd remnants of what had once been clothing: upon the bed lay a similar grewsome thing, but smaller, while in a tiny cradle near by was n third. wee mite of q skeleton.
 To none of these evidences of an old trasady did little Tarzan give but pass ing heed. His wild jungle life bad in ured him to the sight of dead and dy- ing animals. and had he known that he was looking upon the remains of hif own father and mother he would have been no more greatly moved.
 The furnishings and other contents of the room 1t was which rivetcd his attention. He examined many things minutely-strange tools and weapons, books. papers. clothing what little had withstood the ravages of time in the humid atmosphere of the jungle coast.
 He opened chests and cupboards, such as did not bailie his small expert ence. and in these he found the con | tents much better preserved. I Among other things he found sharp | hunting knife. on the keen blade of which he immediately proceeded to cut his finger. Nothing daunted. he con | tinued his experiments, finding that he could hack and hew splinters of wood from the table and chairs with this new toy.
 ! For a long time this amused hlm. but, finally tirlng, he continued his ex- 1 ploratons. In cupboard filled with i books he came across one with bright ly colored pictures. It was a chlld's il- 1 lustrated alphabet:
 l A Is for archer. Who shoots with a bow. E is for boy. His first name Is Joe.

fin ah attempt to Strnlrnle nrWnic. and. possibly more ny chance than de- sign. he fell into the stroke that dog uses when swimming. so thnt within few seconds his nose was above water. and he found that he could keep lt there by continuing his strokes md also make progress through the water
 He was much surprised and pleased with this new requirement which had been SO suddenly thrust upon him. but he had no time for thinking much upon it
 He was now swimming parallel to the bank. and there he saw the cruel beast tbat would have seized him crouching upon the still form of his playmate.
 The tiger was intently watching Tar. gan. evidently expecting him to return to shore. but this the boy had no inten- ton of doing.
 Instead he raised his voice in the call of distress common to his tribe, adding to it the warning which would prevent would be rescuers from running into the clutches of Sabor
 Almost immediately there came an answer from the distance. and pres ently forty or fifty great apes swung rapidly and majestically through the trees toward the scene of tragedy.
 In the van was Kaa. for she bad recognized the tones of her best be loved. and with her was the mother of the little ape who lay dead beneath cruel Sabor.
 Though more powerful and better equipped for fighting than the apes, the tiger had no desire to meet these en' ragged adults. and with a snarl of hatred he sprang quickly into the brush and disappeared.
 Tarzan now swam to shore and clambered quickly upon dry land. The feeling of freshness and exhilaration which the cool waters had imparted to him filled his being with grateful sur. prise, and ever after he lost no oppor. tunity to take a daily plunge in lake or stream or ocean when 1t was pos sible to do so.
 For a long time Kala could not nc custom herself to the sight. for. though her people could swim when forced tt it, they did not like to enter water and never did so voluntarily That the huge fierce brute loved bel child of another race is beyond ques ton. and he. too. gave to the great hairy beast all the affection that wonlt

"NHE pictures in the books which
 TarZan found in the cabin in
 terested him greatly.
 There were many apes with faces similar to bis own. and farther over in the book he found under "M' some little monkeys such as he saw daily Hitting through the trees of his primeval forest. But nowhere was pic tured any of his own people. In all the book was none that resembled Ker- chak or Tublat or Kala.
 At first he tried to pick the little fig ures from the paper, but he soon saw that they were not real, though he knew mot what they might be. nor had he any words to describe them.

from the time the little fellow came into her possession before he would walk alone, and as for climbing-my. but how stupid he was!
 Kala sometimes talked with the older females about her young hopeful. but none of them could understand how a child could be so slow and backward in learning to care for itself. Why. lt could not even find food alone. and more than twelve moons had passed since Kala had come upon it.
 Had they known that the child had seen thirteen moons before it had come into Kala's possession they would have considered its case as absolutely hope less.
 Tublat Kala's husband. was sorely vexed and but for the females careful watching would have put the child out of the way.
 "TIe will never be great ape he argued Always will you have to carry him and protect him. What good will he be to the tribe? None. Only a burden.
 "Let us leave him quietly sleeping among the tall grasses. that you may bear other and stronger apes to guard Us in our old age"
 Never. Broken Nose" replied Kala. If l must carry him forever. so be 1t. ''
 Tublat went to Kerchak to urge him to use his authority with Kala and force her to give up little TarZan which was the name they had given to the tiny Lord Greystoke and which meant white skin"
 But when Kerchak spoke to her about 1t Kala threatened te run away from the tribe if they did not leave hei in peace with the child, and as this is one of the unallenable rights of the jungle folk, if they be dissatisfied among their own people, they bothered her no more for Kala was a fine clean limbed young female. and they did not wish to lose her
 As TarZan grew he made more rapid strides. so that by the time he was ter years old he was an excellent climber and on the ground could do many won derful things which were beyond tho powers of his little brothers and sisters
 In many ways did he differ iron them, and they often marveled at hi' superior cunning. but in strength ant size he was deficient. for at ten th' great anthropoids were fully grown some of them towering over six fee in height. while little Tarzan was stil but a half grown boy.
 Yet such boy
 From early infancy he had used hi hands to swing from branch to brancl after the manner of his giant mother and as he grew older he spent hou upon hour daily speeding through thu treetops with his brothers and sisters
 He could spring twenty feet acros' space at the dizzy heights of the fores 1 top and grasp with unerring precision and without apparent jar limb way ing wildly fin the path of an approach ing tornado.

 As he passed through the opening the front sight of the rifle caught upon the edge of the lnswung door with sui. ficient force to close 1t tightly after the fleeing ape
 When kerchak came to n halt short distance from the cabin and discov. cred that he still held the rife he drop ped it as though it had burned him. nor did he again essay to recover it. The noise had been too much for his brute nerves. but he was now quite convinced that the terrible stick was quite harmless by itself if left alone.
 The cleyerly constructed latch which Clayton had made for the door had sprung as Kerchak passed out. nor could the apes find means of ingress through the heavily barred windows.
 KaIa had not once come to earth with her little adopted babe. but now Kerchnk called to her to descend with the rest. and as there was no note of anger in his voice she dropped lightly from branch to branch and joined the others on their homeward march.
 Those of the apes who attempted to examine Kala's strange baby were re- l pulsed with barred fangs and menacing | growls. accompanied by words of warning from Kala.
 When they assured her that they | meant the child no harm she permitted them to come close. but would not al. low them to touch her charge. 1 It was as though she knew that her baby was frail and delicate and feared lest the rough hands of her fellows might injure the little thing.

Des Moines, April There is not

of attention at the time Of the trial
and was one OF the. hardest fought
cases argued out before the supreme
court last winter. The attorneys for
the defense put up an unusually strong
plea, which related almost entirely to
the character OF the evidence. On both
sides the evidence was purely circum-
stantial as there We're no eye wit
nesses to the tragedy which brought
about the death of Mrs. Hessenius'
The defense claimed she fell from
second story porch and received injur-
les which caused her death. The homi-
eide occurred Jan. 81, 1912.
The court In the recent decision rem
dered discussed the evidence at great
length and declared that there was
strong support for the circumstantial
evidence on both sides, but It was con-
cluded:
