the evidence Of the times am driven
TO conclude that he was my father.
He was not an extremely progresses
ing father: as fathers 60, He seemed
half man and half ape, and yet not ape
and not yet man. fail TO describe
him. There is nothing like him today
on the earth. under the earth. nor in
the earth He was large man in his
day, and he must have weighted all OF
a hundred and thirty pounds: His face
was broad and fat, and the eyebrows
overhung the eyes. The eyes them
selves were small, deep set and close
together. -. .......
The forehead slanted back from the
eyes, and the hair began right at the
eyes and ran up over the head. The
head itself was preposterously small
and was supported on an equally pre-
posterous thick. short neck.
There was an elemental economy
about his body-as was there about all
our bodies. The chest was deep. it is
true, generously deep; but there were
no full swelling muscles, no wide
spreading shoulders, no clean limbed
straightness, no generous symmetry OF
outline 1t represented strength, that
body of my fathers, strength without
beauty; ferocious, primordial strength,
made to clutch and grippe and rend
and destroy. ..-" -"
His hips were thin, and the legs,
lean and hairy, were crooked and
stringy muscled. In fact, my fathers
legs were more like arms. They were
Il, Nd Nxyif
the semblance of the full meaty calf
such as graces your leg and mine. l
remember he could not walk on the
fiat of his foot This was because 1t
was a prehensile foot, more like q
hand than a foot. The great toe, in
stead of being in line with the other
toes, opposed them, like thumb, and
its opposition to the other toes was
what enabled him to get a grip with
his foot This was why he could not
walk on the fiat of his foot. -
But his appearance was no more un-
usual than the manner of his coming
there to my mother and me as We
perched above the angry wild pigs. He
came through the trees, leaping from
limb to limb and from tree to tree, and
he came swiftly. | can see him now,
in my wake-a-day life, as write this,
swinging along through the trees,
four handed, hairy creature, bowling
with rage, pausing now and again to
beat his chest with his clenched fist,
leaping ten and fifteen foot gaps, catch
ing a branch with one hand and swing
ing on across another gap to catch
with his other hand and go on, never
hesitating, never at loss as to how
to proceed on his arboreal way. i:
And as watched him ! felt In my
own being, in my very muscles them
selves, the surge and thrill of desire
to go leaping from bough to bough,
and | felt also the guarantee OF the
latent power in that being and in those
muscles of mine. And why not? Lit
tie boys watch their fathers swing
axes and fell trees and feel in them
selves that some day they, too, will
swing axes and well trees. And so with
me. The life that was in me was con.
stituted to do what my father did,
and it whispered to me secretly and
ambitiously of aerial paths and forest
flights.

making frightful grimaces, snarling,
uttering sharp and continuous cries
that sounded like "kh-ah, kh-ah!" So
sudden and formidable was her ap-
pearance that the boat inyoluntarily
punched himself together on the de
fensive and bristled as she swerved
toward him. Then she swerved to-
ward me. She had quite taken the
breath out of him. / knew just what
to do in that moment of time she had
gained. leaped to meet her, catching
her about the waist and holding on
hand and foot-yes, by my feet,
AS l say, leaped to meet her, and
on the instant she leaped straight up
into the air, catching an overhanging
branch with her hands. The next in
slant, with clashing tusks, the boar
drove past underneath. He had recoV-
cred from his surprise and sprung for
ward, emitting squeal that was al
most a trumpeting. At any rate it was
a call, for it was followed by the rush
ing of bodies through the ferns ana
brush from all directions.
From every side wild hogs dashed
into the open space-a score OF ,tnem:
But my mother swung over the top OF
a thick limb a dozen feet from the
ground, and, still holding on to her, we
perched there in safety. She was very
excited. She chartered and screamed
and scolded down at the bristllng
tooth gnashing circle that had gather
ed beneath. I, too, trembling, peered
down at the angry beasts and did my
best to initiate my mothers cries.
From the distance came similar
cries, only pitched deeper, into a sort
of roaring bass, These grew momen'
tarily louder, and soon | saw him ap-
preaching, my father-at least by all

again and yet again.
Then | screamed or shrieked
i cannot describe it, but it was a
shrill and terrible cry. And il seems
that it, too. at this stage of the pro-
ceedings was the thing expected of
me- From not far away came an an
swering cry My sounds seemed mo-
mentarily to disconcert the boar, and
while he halted and shifted his weight
with indecision an apparition burst
upon US.
She was like "a large orang outang,
my mother, or like a chimpanzee. and
yet, in sharp and definite ways, quite
different She was heavier of build
than they and had less hair. Her arms
were not so long and her legs were
stouter She wore no clothes-only
her natural hair. And | can tell you
she was fury when she was excited.
And like fury she dashed upon the
scene. She was gritting her teeth,
