sucked and raised him from infancy

He told him. too, of the dangers and
the horrors of the jungle-of the great
beasts that stalked one by day and by
night; of the periods of drought and Of
the cataclysmic rains; of hunger, OF
cold, of intense heat. of nakedness and
fear and suffering.
He told him of all those things that
seem most horrible to the creature of
civilization in the hope that the knowl-
edge of them might expuDge from the

jungle. Yet they were the very things
that made the memory of the jungle

A diary kept by n student OF the

Civil war Is one of the articles In the
first number of the new Wisconsin
Magazine of History which has made
its appearance in Madison, after be-
ing greatly delayed by the printers.
The magazine Is published by the
State Historical Society Of Wisconsin,
and is edited by Milo NJ. Qualfe, su-
perintendent.
"The magazine aims to be of gen
eral interest without losing any Of its
scholarly character" said Mr. Quaife.
1.-THE majority of magazines Of this
type lose much of their force by their
sober appearance. Consequently the
articles in this periodical have been
chosen and illustrated TO be interest
ing in themselves, in addition to their

Among the contents of the first
number is n biographical sketch by

MAY USE KENTUCKY STONE
as Good and Cheap as BaVarian
Article.

It is believed that after the war is
over photographic stone quarried in
Kentucky may be put on the mar
ket as cheaply as the BaNarian stone
which has been the principal source
of supply for a long time. Small
quantities of the Kentucky stone have
been sold already, but the high cost Of
labor in this country and the difficulty
of working the stone have kept 1t out
of serious competition with the foreign
product.
The European stone occurs In thin
layers which require little but planning
and polishing after being removed
from the quarry. The American stone
is In beds from three to ten feet thick
and must be sawed into thin layers he
fore it is ready for use.
The Bavariap 4uarries have been
worked so long that vast piles of waste
have accumulated that must be moved
from time to time, thus adding to the
cost of production. The American
quarries have found a market for the
crushed refuse from their quarries,
and this by-product helps reduce the
cost.
The better grades of photographic
stone bring five to six cents a pound
for slabs ten by twelve inches and
the poorer grades a cent and half
pound.

The audience was delir;ous with joy.
They cheered the ape. They cheered
the boy, and they hooted and jeered at
the trainer and the manager, which
luckless individual had inadvertently
shown himself and attempted to assist
the trainer.
Finally, reduced to desperation and
realizing that this show of mutiny
upon the part of his valuable posses
sion might render the animal worthless
for exhibition purposes in the future if
not Immediately subdued, the trainer
fastened to his dressing room and pro-
cured heavy whip.
With this he now returned TO the box,
but when he had threatened Ajax with
ii but once he found himself facing
two Infatuated enemies instead of one,
for the boy leaped to his feet and, seiz-
ing chair, stood ready at the apes
side TO defend his new-found friend.
There was no longer a smile upon his
handsome face. In his gray eyes was
an expression which gave the trainer
pause, and beside him stood the giant
anthropoid growing and ready.
What might have happened but for
timely interruption may only be sur
missed. but that the trainer would have
received a severe mauling if nothing
more was clearly indicated by the atti-
tudes of the two who faced him.
:
1t was a pale-faced houseman who
rushed into the Greystoke library to
announce that he had found Jacks
door locked and had been able TO OBJ
tain no response to his repeated knock
ing other than strange tapping and
the sound of what might have been a
body moving upon the floor.
Four steps at time John Clayton
took the stairs that led to the floor
above. His wife and the servant hur-
ried after him.
Once he called his sons name in a
loud voice; but, receiving no reply. he
launched his great weight, backed by
all the undiminished power of his
giant muscles. against the heavy door.
With a swapping of iron hinges and a
splintering of wood the obstacle burst
inward.
At it's foot lay the body of the I'M
conscious Mr.. Moore, across whom it
fell with a resounding thud. Through
the opening leaped Tarzan, and Il mo-
ment later the room was flooded with
light from a half-dozen electric bulbs.
1t was several minutes before the
tutor was discovered, so completely
had the door covered him, but finally he
was dragged forth, his gag and bonds
cut away and a liberal application of
cold water hastened his recovery.
"Where is Jack?'' was John Clay
tons first question, and then, who did
this?"
Slowly Mr.. Moore staggered to his
feet. His gaze wandered about the
room. Gradually he collected his scat
tered wits. The details of his recent
narrowing experience returned to him.
II tender my resignation, sir, to take
effect at once" were his first words.
You do not need a tutor for your son
what he needs is a wild animal train
err"
But where is he?" cried Lady Grey
stoke.
He has gone to see Ajax"
1t was with difficulty that Tarzan re-
strained a smile, and after satisfying
himself that the tutor was more scared
than injured, he ordered his closed car
around and departed in the direction
of a certain well-known music hall.

CHAPTER III.
Exit PaulVitch.

As the trainer, with raised lash, hes
itated an instant at the entrance to
the box where the boy and the ape
confronted him, a tall, broad-shoul-
dered man pushed past him and en-
tered. AS his eyes fell upon the new
conner q slight flush mounted the boys
cheeks.
"Fatheri" he exclaimed.
The ape gave one look at the Eng
lish lord and then leaped toward him,
calling out in excited jabbering. The
man, his eyes going wide with aston
ishment, stopped az dough turned to
stone.
"Akut!" he cried.
The boy looked, bewildered, from the
ape to his father, and from his father
to the ape The trainers jaw dropped
as he listened to what followed, for
from the lips of the EnglishInan flowed
the gutturals of an ape that were an

And from the wings a hideously bent
and disfgured old man watched the
tableau in the box, his pockmarked
features working spasmodically In
varying expressions that might have
marked every sensation in the gamut
from pleasure to terror.
Long have l looked for you, Tar

found you shall come to your jungle
and live there always"
The man stroked the beasts head.

beast had fought shoulder 10 shoulder
