The audience was delirious 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 IL
not Immediately subdued, the trainer
FASTENED to his dressing room and pro-
cured q heavy whip.
With this he now returned to the box,
but when he had threatened Ajax with
it but once he found himself facing
two infuriated 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 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
q 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 q paIe-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 a strange tapping and
the sound of what might have been a
body moving upon the floor.
Four steps at q 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
splintering Of wood the obstacle burst
inward.
At it's foot lay the body of the un-
conscious Mr.. Moore, across whom it
fell with a resounding thud. Through
the opening leaped Tarzan, and mo-
ment later the room was flooded with

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 hnstened his recovery.

tons first question, and then, "Who did

room. Gradually he collected his scat
tered wits. The details Of his recent
experience returned to him.

you do not need tutor for your son
what he needs Is wild animal train
er."
'But where Is he?" cried Lady Grey
stoke.
"He has gone to see Ajax"
1t was with difficulty that Tarzan re-
strained q 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.

Flower Calendar.

At Grasse, Il town in southern
France. the seasons are marked by
harvests OF flowers. for this is the CEN
ter of perfume making. In February
and Marc!i yiolets ard jonQuti. are the
crop. In tic summer months roses,
orange blossoms and iuherOseS fill the
air with sweetness. In the autumn
lavendar is carried to the factories in
baskets, on donkey backs and in wag-
ons. All of these flowers are treated
in much the same way. They are
stuck into pure white fat, which draws
out all of their perfume. This fat be-
comes the basis for most of the pO-
mades and perfumes for which Paris
is famous.

New WaYs to Use Ostrich.

There is q decided tendency toward
the use of ostrich in trimming this sea

Is the tightly curled flats and lovely

now caressing him as the trainer had
never seen him caress q human being
before. Presently he cla1nbered over
into the box with him and snuggled
down close to the boys side.
The audience was delighted, but they
were st1n more delighted when the
trainer, the period of his act having
elapsed, attempted to persuade Ajax
to leave the box. The ape would not
bulge.
The manager. becoming excited at
the delay. urged the trainer to greater
haste, but when the latter entered the
box to drag away the reluctant Ajax
he~was met by barred fangs and men
ecins growls.

"A Little Rock. Ark, Dec. 13.- You won't have to figure out your own income tax all by yourself hereafter The government is going to send out men to help you. It will be up to you to hunt up these men, who will be sent into every county seat town and few of the other large towns besides, to meet the peo pie. Postmasters, bankers and newspapers will be able to tell you when the government's in- come tax man will be around and where to find him.

 Collector of Internal Revenue Jack Walker said today. that many persons have had a good deal of difficulty in filling out in- come tax forms. It recognizes. too, that taxpayers living at points where the collectors of

During January and February, when every married person living with wife or hus- band and having a net income of 5000, and every unmarried per son not the head of a family and having net income of Slo00 for the year 1917, must make return of income on the form prescribed there will be hundreds Tn every community seeking light on the law, and help in executing their returns My own and every oth CT collection districtin the nation will be divided into sections, with the county as the unit, and gov ernment officer, informed in the income tax law, will be assigned to each section.
