GREAT DANGER OF
 FOREST FIRES IN
 CONNECTICUT NOW
Exceptional Precaution Pre- vaiIs Because of Dry Con
 ditiOns in the Woods.

There is every reason to expect an unusually early and severe forest fire season in Connecticut this spring. The back Of snow or rain and the hot sun of the past few weeks have made the woods and fields veritabIe fire traps which need only the careless drop ping Of a lighted match, cigar or cigarette butt to start conflagra- tion Already forty-three fires have been reported to the state fire war den as occurring during the past three weeks. Probably many more have not been reported. It will be a month at least before vegetation will be advanced sufficiently to cheek the spread of fires. The local fire war dens are vigi1ant and anxious to pre- vent all damage possible but the public must cooperate with them if large expense well as property loss is to be prevented
 During the severe drought of last EaIl nearly five hundred fires oc- cured in this state, causing thou sands of dollars damage. Most of these fires were due to careIessness pn the part of people who were in he woods and neldssd turing the hunt ng and nutting season. With the Idvance of spring, thousands of men and boys each pleasant Sunday and holiday. will respond to the call of the wild Every one of them ought 70 realize his responsi biIity to the community to see that no fire results rom his carelessness, or that no fire which he discovers in the woods is left unextinguished- Every town has a fire warden who should be notified of any fire which is beyond the con- tI-oI of the party discovering it. The telephone central can usually give the fire warden's number
 A word of caution is also neces- sary to any one having occasion to burn brush during the next month. The law requiring the securing of permits is in effect March 18th and should be observed in every case. No brush should be burned on windy days and without due precaution to keep the fire from spr eading. There is & heavy penalty for k1ndling q fire which escapes and intures the prop erfy of another. The securing of a permit doeg not alter the responsi bili : H fu. .sssce Cor, k5re damage.

Any one interested in these matters can secure information regarding the laws from the local fire wardens. There is 8 great lack of intelligent public interest in the subject, how ever, largely due to a lack of appre-= citation of the damage and expense caused by forest fires in Connecticut. The general impression seems to be that a fire in the woods is a. natural occurrence which does no harm. On largely responsible for the deteriora- ton in the quality Of our forest growth as the fires which become more and more numerous with the increase in density of our popula- ton

THE VILLAGE OF TORTURE
As the little expedition Of sailors toilec

signs Of Jane Porter the futility OF theii
| venture became more and more apparent
but the grief Of the old man and the
hopeless eyes OF the young Englishman
! prevented the hnd-hearted D'Arnot from
turning back

| possibility Of finding her body, or the re-
mains Of Il, for he was positive that she
had been devoured by some beast OF prey.

a brief rest then, and after pushing on
for short distance further one of the
men discovered a well-marked trail
1t was an old elephant track, and DAT
not after consulting with Professor Por-
ter and Clayton, decided to follow Il.
The path wound through the Jungle In
northeasterly direction and along It
tho column moved in single file.
Lieutenant D'Arnot was In the lead and
moving at n quick pace. for the trail was
comparatively open, Immediately behind
him came Professor Porter, but as he
could not keep pace with tho younger
man D'Arnot was n hundred yards in adj
vance when suddenly n half dozen black
warriors arose rabout him.
DArnot gave n warning shout to his
aa1Ht . l. l.
before he could draw his revolver he had
been pnioned and dragged into tho Jungle.
His cry had alarmed the sailors and
dozen of them sprang forward past Pro-
fessor Porter, running UP tho trail to
their of7nicers aid.
They did not know the cause of his
outcry. only that 1t was a warning Of
danger ahead.
They had rushed past the spot where
D'Arnot had been seized when a spear
hurled from the jungle transixed one of
tho men, and then volley of arrows fell |
among them.
Raising their rifles they fired into the |
undcrbrush in the direction from which |
the missiles had come.
BY this time the rest Of the party |
had come up, and volley after volley was |
fred toward the concealed foe. It was
these shots that Tarzan and Jane Porter
had heard

bringing up the rear of the column, now
