pockmarked features were working
horribly as he talked silently to him

thus. 1t made him uneasy.
At last Paulvitch stopped on the op-

ape.

The boy did as he was bid. placing
his hands behind him when Paulvitch
told him to do so. Instantly the old
man slipped the running Moose over
one of the lads wrists. took a couple
of half bitches about his other wrist
and knotted the cord. The moment
that the boy was secured the attitude
of the man changed. He had known
and bitterly hated Tarzan in Africa

DELAYS Cali for Special Session.

Gov. L, l.. Phillip is back at his
desk in the capitol. There is a daily
string of callers who come to advise
him on the question of a special ses-
sion of the legislature and on the sen
atorial proposition.
There is Il sentiment here that IL
the legislature does not give the ex-
ecutive the power to appoint United
States senator the office will be al
lowed to remain vacant until the gen
eral election next fall. In his recent
signed statement Governor Philip
called attention that an election now
would cost the state upwards of $780,
600.
There is a division among newspa-
per editors of the state as 70 the pol
icy which should be followed. Many
of the large dailies have demanded n
special election. There are some.
however, who are taking the attitude
that II would be better to fill the SEN
atorial office by an appointment.
Governor Philips closest friends
have not changed their minds about
the appointment proposition, and 1t
will be urged upon the legislature with
force.

with an angry oath. he wheeled Tar

him violently to the floor. leapiEg upon

the ape growled and struggled with
his bonds.
The boy did not cry out-a trait in
herited from his savage sire. who dur
ing years in the jungle following the
death of his foster mother, Kala, the
great ape. had learned that there was
none 10 come to the succor of the
fallen.
Paulvitch's fingers sought the lads
throat. He grinned down horribly into
the face of his victim.
"Your father ruined me-" he mum
bied. "This win pay him. He will
think that the ape did it. / will tell
him that the ape did it; that / left
him alone for few minutes and that

and when l bring your father he will
see the ape squatting over It," and the
twisted fiend cackled in gloating laugh
ter.
His fingers closed upon the boys
throat.
Behind them the growing of the
maddened beast reverberated against
the walls of the little room. The boy
paled, but no other sign of fear or
panic showed G?on his countenance.
He was the son of Tarzan. The fingers
frightened their grip upon his throat. II
was with difficulty that he breathed-
gaspingiy.
The ape lunged against the stout
cord that held him. Turning, he
wrapped the cord about his hands, as
a man might have done, and surged
heavily backward. The great muscles
stood out beneath his shaggy hide.
There was rending as of splintered
wood-the cord held, but a portion of
the footboard of the bed came away.
At the sound Paulvitch looked up.
His hideous face went white In terror
the ape was free!
With a single bound the creature
was upon him. The man shrieked.
The brute wrenched him from the body
of the boy. Great fingers sank into
his flesh. Yellow fangs gasped close
to his throat-he struggled futilely-
and then they closed, and the soul of
Alexis Paulvitch passed into the keep
ing of the demons who had long been
awaiting ii.
The boy struggled to his feet, as
sisted by Akut. For two hours, under
his instructions, the ape worked upon
the knots that secured his friends
wrists. Finally they gave up their Sc
cret. and the boy was free.
He cut the cord that still dangled
from the apes body. Then he opened
one of his bags and drew forth some
garments.
His plans had been well made. He
did not consult the beast, which did all
that he directed. Together they skunk
from the house, but no casual observer
might have noted that one of them
was an ape.

To find the origin Of our own deeply

to the time when the Normans-iE.
whose stronghoids of two or more sto-

of the chamber. This means of escape

The Normans provided no recess un-

er hearth recess. when the hoods be-
came unnecessary and ceased to be
used.

NEW VENTURE IN CITIES.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture Can
Directly Help the Women.

While the United States department
of agriculture has for long time been
conducting work of benefit to city folks,
it is now undertaking, directly and for
the first time, to help the city woman
in the work of promoting food proddc-
ton, food conservation, and household
thrift. To carry on this work through
demonstrations and through other cd
ucational methods, Congress made appro.
priations for women city agents of The
department The cities through their
various organizations help to support
the movement, which is carried on by he
department in cooperation with the
state colleges of agriculture.
The work of the bureau of chemistry
and of the office of home economics has
been of benefit, in respect to foods, to
city women, though not more SO than
to country women. The bureau Of mar
kets, through its city market work, .af-
fects both the country producer and thu
city consumer.

stration work in the various states well

to work directly with urban jewellers. In
