circle about the earthen drum.
The females and young squatted in
a thin line at the outer periphery OF
the circle, while just in front of them
ranged the adult males. Before the
drum sat three old females, each arm
ed with a knotted branch fifteen OF

Slowly and softly they began tap

the drum as the first faint rays Of the

AS the light increased the females
augmented the frequency and force ot
their blows until presently rhyth-
mical din pervaded the jungle fol
miles in every direction. Huge brutes
stopped in their hunting, with up

to the dull booming that betokened

CHAPTER w.
Tarzan, Mishtiest of the Apes.

Tarzan, Mishtiest of the Apes.
The tribe of apes had grown larger
since Tarzan had come among them
Under the leadership Of Kerchak
they had been able to frighten the
other tribes from their part of the
jungle, so that they had plenty to eat
and little or no loss from predatory
incursions of neighbors.
The younger males as they became
adult found it more comfortable to take
wives from their own tribe, or if they
captured one Of another tribe, to bring
her back to Kerchak's band and live
in amity rather than attempt to set up
new establishments Of their own or
make war upon the redoubtable Ker-
chak.
Occasionally one more ferocious than
his fellows would attempt this latter
alternative, but none had come yet
who could wrest the palm Of victory
from the fierce and brutal ape.
Tarzan held peculiar position. in
the tribe.
They seemed to consider him one of
them and yet in some way different
The older males either ignored him
entirely or else hated him so vindict-
lively that but for his wonderous agili-
ty and speed and the fierce protection
Of the huge Kala he would have been
dispatched at an early age.
Tublat was his most consistent enc
my, but it was through Tublat that
when he was about thirteen, the perse-
cution Of his enemies suddenly ceased,
and he was left severely alone, except
on the occasions when one Of them
ran amuck in the throes Of one OF
those strange fits Of insane rage which
attack the males Of many Of the fiercer
animals Of the jungle. Then none was
safe.
On the day that Tarzan established
his right to respect the tribe was gath
cred about small natural amphithe-
ater which the jungle had left free
from it's entangling vines and creepers.
Here the tribe often gathered. In
the center Of the amphitheater was
one Of those strange earthen drums
which the anthropoids build for the
dumdum, the queer rites the sound OF
which men have heard in the fastness-
es Of the jungle, but which none has
ever witnessed.
On the day that Tarzan won his
emancipation from the persecution
that had followed him remorselessly
for twelve Of his thirteen years Of life
the tribe, now full 100 strong, troop
ed silently through the lower terrace of
the jungle trees and dropped noiseless-
ly upon the floor Of the amphitheater.
The rites Of the dumdum marked
important events in the life Of the
tribe-a victory, the capture Of a pris-
oner, the killing Of some large, fierce
denizen Of the jungle, the death or
accession Of a king.
Today it was the killing Of a giant
ape, a member Of another tribe, and
as the people Of Kerchak entered the
arena two mighty bulls might have
been seen bearing the body of the
vanquished between them. They laid
their burden before the earthen drum
and then squatted beside it as guards,
while the other members of the COM
munity curled themselves in grassy
hooks to sleep until the rising moon
should give the signal for the COM
mencement of the orgy.
AS darkness settled upon the jungle,
the apes commenced to bestir them

CIRCULATION
THE TOWN MEETING.

The adjourned annual meeting of the town will be held this evening and it is a meeting at which there should be a large and representative gathering of the taxpayers and voters of the town. It is the time for the talking over of town matters and the meeting when matters of vital importance come up for action and the opportunity which the people have for participation ought not to be neglected. When it comes to the expenditure of money, none is more interested than the people who furnish it and if they fail to declare themselves or neglect to take the time to attend they have little ground for criticism.
 There are certain fixed expenses which must be provided for, but there are other amounts called for by peti- ton which have been voted in the past and which 1t is for the interest of the town to continue. There is in cluded therein the appropriation for the Otis library and sum large enough to meet the tuition expense of the children of the town attending the Academy The wisdom of these ex- penditures has been recognized in pre- vious years and the reasons for them are just as strong today as they ever have been.
 The business of the town involves the handling of several hundred thou sand dollars during the course of the year It rests with the town meeting what the expenditures shall be and therefore the fixing of the tax rate for the ensuing year, and where such things are concerned there should be nm attendance representative of the houn and not leave such important york to the direction of few.

 What has happened since then is still an unwritten chapter. No news papermen are allowed to visit the af fected districts and reports from these are altogether unreliable. The re- ticence of the Turkish government cannot be looked upon as a good sign however especially when viewed in the light of what the German government has been obliged to do.

RAILRoAp EMBARRASSING.

For the purpose of warning the pub- lie of the dangers and instructing 1t in the experiences of those who have lost their lives while trespassing on railroad property the New Haven of fFcfals are doing commendaable thing In the posting of bulletins along its tracks, and in other places where they will be conspicuous to those who look upon the railroad tracks as a safe and legitimate highway of travel These are not the first efforts made to pre- vent the large loss of life which occurs annually as the result of walking rail- road tracks, but instead of giving mo- tice that such acts are forbidden a stronger appeal is made by setting forth the peril that exists and the fate which others have met by disregard Ing it.
 When it is realized that there were 5,4T1 persons killed on the railroads while trespassing during 1914 and 6,354 injured, it can be realized that there Is q great opportunity for self preser- vation if the trespassers will but keep away from the danger. The New Ha- ven system runs through thickly set tied communities where the tracks are used as short cuts by men. women and children and in the past three years there have been 442 who took this lib- erty and were killed and 394 were injured. This is certainly good food for thought for those who are in the habit of counting such danger. If they can be brought to realize that they may be included in the next years Iisi it is possible that they will appreciate the fact that the longer way around is the surer way home.

 We were going to the ball game and, it being a fair day and ourselves

 though he had lost not only bis entire though the bank had failed long ago, and the pet dog had been killed by poison. His clothes were seedy and If you looked hard enough you easily could have imagined large oriny tears dripping from his sunken eyes. His expression mournfully denoted that he wanted to get in at the ball
 game more than anything on this wide earth and that the feat was just as impossible as for him to go out and order a steam yacht and have 1t de-

SLOW MOVING DIPLOMACY.

Much criticism is being expressed in England because of the diplomatic victory Germany won when 1t secured the cooperation of Bulgaria. This is because it is thoroughly understood what an important part that country can play as an ally of the central powers while it would have been an equally effective addition to the en- tente allies and it's strict neutrality would have served to defeat the pur- pose of Germany.
 Having credited Germany with suc- cess in the first battle of wits, since Bulgaria has unquestionably been won over by the alluring promises which were made in accordance with the known weakness of the king of that country, whose ambition is to be the czar of the Balkans, it remains to be seen what stronger influence the diplo- macy of the allies can bring to bear which will serve to offset the apparent gain which the enemy has made This of course could be done by bringing Rumania and Greece into the conflict but it has already been asserted that | Germany has anticipated as much and by advance action has already guaran. teed their neutrality to Bulgaria Ii such proves to be true there is reason for the criticism that is being direct ed against England's foreign minister as well as those among the other ai- lies in whose hands foreign affairs are placed.
 Unless the allies can overcome whai is claimed by Germany and what thus far has not been disproved, they have reason to feel that the Teutons have not only outstripped them in prepared.
