placed it TO his shoulder.
Dusk was falling, and the interior OF

could see the latch moving from its place.
He felt his hair rising upon his scalp.
Gently the door opened until a thin

The man had been hard hit-D'Arnot
realized it now-but why? He could not

The Frenchman looked about him The
loneliness and the horror Of the place
commenced to get on hts nerves-already
weakened by the ordeal Of suffering and
sickness he had passed through.
To be left here alone beside this awful

see human face-in constant dread Of
savage beasts and more terribly savage
men-a prey to solitude and hopelessness.

And far to the east Tarzan OF the Apes
was speeding through the middle terrace

with such reckless speed. He felt that
he was running away from himself-that
by hurtling through the forest like a

his own thoughts. But no matter how
fast he went he found them always with

III you are an ape. you will do as the

amendment would change the status
OF teachers now working in the public

actually accomplished by the teachers.
IL was believed the amendment would be
so interpreted that faithful service would
no longer be accepted as a reason for pro-
