by the door. waiting after he had finished
the message, there came to his keen ears
a familiar sound. II was the passing OF
a great ape through the lower branches
or the forest.
For an Instant he listened intentIy. and
then fiom the Jungle came the agonized
scream Of a woman, and Tarzan of the
Apes dropping his first love letter upon
the ground shot Ike a panther into the
forest.
Clayton, also, heard the scream, and
Professor Porter and Mr.. Philander. and
In few minutes they came painting to

the girls name aloud. For half an hour

CHAPTER XIX.

THE CALL OF THE PRIMITIVE.
From the time Tarzan left the tribe
OF great anthropoids in which he had
been raised, It was torn by continual
strife and dlscord. Terkoz proved cruel
and capriclous king, so that, one by one,
many OF the older and weaker apes. upon
whom he was particularly prone to vent
his british nature, took their families and
sought the quiet and safety OF the far
interior.
But at last those who remained were
driven TO desperation by the continued
turbulence OF Terkoz, and II so happened
that one OF them recalled the parting ad-
monition Of Tarzan;
IF you have a chief who Ia cruel, do
not do as the other apes do, and attempt,
any one OF you, to pit yourself against
him alone. But, instead let two or three
or four Of you attack him together. Then,
II you VIII do this, no chief will dare TO
bo other than he should be, for four of
you can kill any chief who may ever be
over you"
And the ape who recalled this wise
counsel repeated It to several of his fel-
lows, so that when Terlsoz returned to the
tribe that day he found warm reception
awaiting him,
There were no formaltles. AS Terkoz
reached the group, five huge. hairy beasts
sprang upon him.
At heart he was an arrant coward,
which Is tho way with bullles among apes
as well as among men; so he did not
remain to fight and die but tore him
sell away from them as quickly as he
could and fed into the sheltering boughs
of the forest.
TWO moro attempts he made to re1oin
the tribe, but on each occasion he was
set upon and driven away At 'ast he
gave 1t up, and turned, foamlng with
rage and hatred. into the Jungle
For several days he wandered ainnless-
~, nursing his spite and looking for some
weak thing on which to vent his pent
anger
II was In this state of mind that the
horrible man-like beast, swinging from
tree to tree, came suddenly upon two
women In tho jungle.
He was right above them when he
discovered them The first intimation
Jane Porter had of his presence was
when the great hairy body dropped to the
earth beside her and she saw the awful |
tace and the snarling, hldeous mouth |
thrust within foot of her
One piercing scream escaped her Inns as
the brute hand clutched her arm. Then
she was dragged toward those awful
langs which yawned at her throat. But
ere they touched that fair skin another
cod claimed the anthropoid
The tribe had kept his women. He
must find others to replace them. This
hairless white ape would be the first of
his new household, and so he threw her
roughly across his broad, hairy shoulders
and leaped back into the trees, bearing

A SPECIES OF HYPOCRISY.

We must confess large share of
surprise at the action of some of our
contemporaries on the matter of the
recent statements given out by Mr..
William Jennings Bryan. We refer to
those papers which have editoriaIly
criticized the Atlanta Constitution for
it, public statement that IL would not
print any more OF Mr.. Bryan's state
naents but which have themselves
pariished only bulletins and briefs OF
the statements. Every editor has n
right to controfs the rofumns OF his
paper. and IL the owners of the At

valuable suggestions. In the first place
to SOW seeds of all kinds that are free
from wood seeds and in the next place
how to get rid of the weeds that are
already growing on the farm. There is
no profit 10 the farmer TO grow weeds
and the farmer who buys any kind
of seed that are cheap which contain
weed seeds is making a serious mis-
take. for the presence OF weeds cuts
down the yield of his crop and also
the price of the crop on the market.
This bulletin Is well illustrated and
is very helpful to the farmer. Any
