Hastened to their various quarters and

God! what was that?" suddenly cried
one OF the party, an Engllshman, as
Iarzans savage cry came family to their

II heard the same thing once before"
SAID Belgian, when 1 was in the gorilla
country. My carriers said 1t was the cry
or great bull ape who has made a kill"
u Arnot remembered Clayton's descrip-
ton OF the awful roar with which Tarzar
mad announced his kills, and he half
smiled in spite of the horror which filled
him to think that the uncanny sound
could have issued from human throat
from the lips of his friend
AS the party stood finally near the edge
OF the jungle, debating as to the best dis
tribution of their forces, they were start
led by low laugh near them, and turn
Ing beheld advancing toward them a
giant figure bearing a dead lion upon its
broad shoulders
Even D'Arnot was thunderstruck for it
seemed impossible that the man could
have so quickly dispatched a lion with
the pititul weapons he had taken, or that
alone he could have borne the huge car
cass through the tangled Jungle.
The men crowded about Tarzan with
many questions, but his only answer was
a laughing depreciation of his feat.
To Tarzan 1t was as though one should
euloglze butcher for his herosm In kill
ing cow for Tarzan had killed so often
for food and for self-preservation that the
act seemed anything but remarkable TO
him, But he was indeed a hero in the
eyes OF these men-men accustomed to
hunting big game.
Incidentally, he had won ten thousand
francs, for D'Arnot insisted that he keep
1t all.
This was very important item to Tar
zan, who was Just commencing to realize
the power which lay behind the little
pieces of metal and paper which always
changed hands when human being rode, |
or ate, or slept, or clothed themselves or
drank, or worked or played or sheltered |
themselves from the rain or cold or sun. |
1t had become evident to Tarzan that |
without money one must die. DArnot |
had told him not to worry since he had |
more than enough for both, but the ape |
man was learning many things and one |
of them was that people looked down |
upon one who accepted money from an
other without giving something of equal
value in exchange
Shortly after the episode OF the Hon
hunt, D'Arnot succeeded in chartering
an ancient tub for the coastwise trip 10
Tarzan's land-locked harbor
IL was a happy morning for them both
when the little vessel weighed anchor
and made for the open sea,
The trip 10 the beach was un6venttul,
and the morning after they dropped an
Choir before the cabin, Tarzan, garbed
once more in his jungle regalia. and
carrying a spade, set out alone for the
of the apes where lay the
treasure,
Late the next day he returned bearing
the great chest upon his shoulder, and at
sunrise the little vessel was worked
through the harbOr's mouth and took up
her northward journey.
Three weeks later Tarzan and D'Arnot
were passengers on board a French
steamer bound for Lyons, and after a
ew days in that city D'Arnot took Tarzan
10 Paris.
The ape-man was anxious to proceed
10 America, but DArnot insisted that he
must accompany him 10 Paris first, nor
gould he dlyulge the nature of the ur-
gent necessity upon which he based his
demand.
One OF the first things which D'Arnot
after their arrival was to
arrange to visit a high official OF the
,olice department. an old friend, and TO
axe Tarzan With him
Adroitly D'Arnot led the conversation
rom point 10 point until the policeman
.ad explained TO the interested Tarzan
many OF the methods In vogue Tor appre-
lending and identifying criminals.
Not the least interesting to Tarzan was
he part played by finger prints In this
fascinating science.
but OF what value are these imprints'"
