And you. monsieur. I did not rec ognize you without your beard. 1t quite disguises you. Paulvitch. l see it all now. It is quite clear, gentle men" He turned to TarZan.
 "No. my friend said the count hastily "It is personal matter. and beg that you will let it drop. It is sufficient that l have been exonerated from the charge. The jess We have to do with such fellows the better. But monsieur. how can | thank you for the great kindness you have done me- Permit me to offer you my card"
 TarZan had released Rokoff. who. with his confederate, Paulvitch, had hastened from the smoking room. Just as he was leaving. Rokof turned to Tarzan. Monsieur will have ample opportunity to regret his interference in the affairs of others"
 Tarzan smiled, and then. lowing to the count. handed him his own card
 The count read Jean C. Tarzan, rAfrique"
 Monsieur Talyan." he said may indeed wish that he had never be- friended me. for can assure him that he has won the enmity of two of the most unmitigated scoundrels in all Flu rope"
 That night as Tarzan entered his cabin he found folded note upon the floor that had evidently been pushed beneath the door. He opened it and read
 NJ Tarzan-Doubtlcss you did not realize the gravity of your oitense or you would not have done the thing you did today. am willing to believe that you acted in ig- norance and without any intention to of- fend a stranger. For this reason I shall gladly permit you to offer an apology, and on receiving your assurances that you will not again interfere in affairs that do not concern you I shall drop the matter.
 Otherwise-but am sure that you will see the wisdom of adopting the course l suggest. Very respectfully.
 NIKoI.As RoKoFF.
 Tarzan permitted d grim smile to play about his lips for moment, then he promptly dropped the matter from his mind and went to bed
 In nearby cabin the Countess de Coude was speaking to her husband.
 'Why so grave, my dear RaoulF'' she asked You have been as glum as could be all evening. What worries you?'
 "Olga. Nikolas is on board Did you know it."
 "Nikolasr she exclaimed. But it is impossible, Ruoul. It cannot be. Nikolas Is under arrest in Germany" <, "So I thought myself until l saw him today-him and that other arch scoundrel, Paulyitch. Olga, I cannot endure his persecution much longer no. not even for you. Sooner or later shall turn him over to the authori- ties"
 "Oh. DO. Raoul" cried the countess. sinking to her knees before him as he sat with bowed head upon dlvan. Do not do thnt. Remember your prom. ise to me. Tell me. Raoul. that you will not do that. loo not even threaten him. Raoul."
 "I cannot understand. He has for. feited all claim upon your love loyalty and respect. He Is a menace to your life and honor aud to the life and honor of your husband. l trust that you may never regret championing him"
 'I do not champion him, Raoul." she interrupted vehemcntly. "I believe that l bate him as much as you do, but oh, Raoul, blood is thicker than water .
 T should today have liked to sam pie the consistency of his," growled De Coude grimly. ''The two deliberate ly attempted to besmirch my honor Olga" And then he told her of all that had happened in the smoking room.
 Late the following afternoon Rokon and Paulvitch were standing on deck at point which was temporarily de serted As TarZan came upon then they were in heated argument with q woman Tarzan noted that she. was richly app0reled and that her slender well modelled figure denoted youth, bu as she was heavily yelled he could noI discern her features.
