But that lady only shook her head In
most positive manner and, turning to
Mr.. Moore, asked him IL 1t was not
time that he and Jack were In the
study for. their morning recitations.
When the two had left she turned to-
ward her husband.
1t was from her husband that the
boy had inherited his longing for the
wild. Lord Greystoke's parents had
been set on the shore of the west coast
OF Africa by mutineers. After their
death their infant son was stolen and
mothered by an ape, and he in turn be-
came the king of tribe of great apes.
He was known as Tarzan. After many
adventures he was rescued and finally
settled down In London.
John" Lady Greystoke said, "some-
thing must he done to discourage Jacks
tendency toward anything that may
excite the craving for the savage life,
which, l fear, he has inherited from
you. You know from your own expe-
rience how strong is the call of the
wild at times. You know that often 1t
has necessitated stern struggle OH
your part to resist the almost insane
desire which occasionally overwhelms
you to plunge once again into the jun
que life that claimed you for so many
years, and at the same time you know
better than any other how frightful
fate it would be for Jack were the trail
to the savage jungle made either allur-
ing or easy to him"
Il doubt If there is any danger of his
inherlting taste for jungle life from
me-" replied the man, "for l cannot
conceive that such n thing may be
transmitted from father to son. And
sometimes, Jane, think that in your
solicitude for his future you 60 bit
too fur in your restrictive measures.
His love for anmalS-his desire, for
example, to see this trained ape-is
only natural in II healthy, normal boy
of his age"
And John Clayton, Lord Greystoke,
put an arm about his wife, laughing
good-naturedly down into her up
turned face before he bent his head
and kissed her. Then, more seriously,
he continued:
you have never told Jack anything
concerning my early life, nor have you
permitted me to, and in this l think
that you have made mistake. Had l
been able to tell him of the expert
ences of Tarzan of the Apes l could
doubtless have taken much Of the
glamor and romance from jungle life
that naturally surround 1t in the minds
| of those who have had no experience
of it. He might then have profited by
my experience; but now, should the
jungle lust every claim him, he will
have nothing to guide him but his own
impulses, and l know how powerful
these may be in the wrong direction at
times"
But Lady Greystoke only shook her
head as she had a hundred other times
when the subject had claimed their at
! tention In the past.
"NO, John" she insisted. 81 shall
never give my consent to the implant
ing in Jacks mind of any suggestion
of the savage life from which we both
wish to preserve him."
Mr.. Mo0rc's room was next to that
Of his youthful charge, and 1t was the

about to retire. This evening he was

Consulting Engineer of Large Ship

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 10
Assistant Manager Eustis, and G..
Clark, consulting engineer for the
Emergency Ship Corporation. today
issued a statement attacking Goe-
thal's opposition to wooden ships for
the government, stating that the opin-
ion of the eminent engineer in charge
of construction work for the govern
ment made it impossible for ship
building plants to form contracts with
the government with any degree of
security. Ten corporations had al
ready contracted to deliver 500 YES
sells within a year and 500 within
IS months, and, that these contracts
had been reduced to a margin of but
ten per cent over the cost price of
the vessels which was deemed emin-
emily fair. Eustis stated that a pro-
gram had been started for the con-
struction of steel vessels, thereby
greatly embarrassing the contractors
who had prepared their yards for the
building of wooden ships.
Chairman Denman of the ship
building committee. when interview
ed today was non-committal stating
that the sole responsibility of the gov
ernmental construction laid with Goe-
thals, and that his word was final Mr.
Denman stated that he believed Mr..
Goethals was working for what he
considered the best interests of the
nation as a whole, and that he prob
ably had good grounds for his en-
dorsation of steel vessels.
