CHAPTER I-Continued.

The officers and scientists aboard OF
ten discussed the beast, but they were
unable to account satisfactorily for the
strange ceremony with which he greet
ed each new face Had he been discov-
cred upon the mainland or any other
place than the almost unknown island
that had been his home they would
have concluded that he had formerly
been q pet of man. but that theory was
not tenable in the face of the isolation
of his uninhabited island.
He seemed continually to be search
ing for some one, and during the first
days of the return voyage from the
island he was often discovered nOsing
about in various parts of the ship, but
after he had seen and examined each
face Of the ships company and explor-
ed every corner of the vessel, he lapsed
into utter Indifference of all about him.
Even the Russian elected only casual
interest when he brought him food. At
other times the ape appeared merely
to tolerate him.
He never showed affection for him or
for anyone else upon the Marjorie W..
Nor did he at any time evince any in
dication of the savage temper that had
marked his resentment of the attack
of the sailors upon him at the time
that he had come among them.
Most of his time was spent in the
eye of the ship, scanning the horizon
ahead, as though he were endowed
with sufficient reason to know that the
vessel was bound for some port where
there would be other human beings to
undergo his searching scrutiny. All in
all, Ajax, as he had been dubbed, was
considered the most remarkable and in
telligent ape that anyone aboard the
Marjorie W. had ever seen.
Nor was his intelligence the only re-
markable attribute he owned. His
stature and physique were, for an ape,
awe-inspiring. That he was old was
quite evident, but If his age had I'M
paired his physical or mental powers
in the slightest it was not apparent.
And so at length the Marjorie w.
came to England, and there the officers
and the scientists, filled with compass
sion for the pitiful wreck of a man
they had rescued from the jungles, fur
nished Paulvitch with funds and bid
him and Ajax Godspeed.
Upon the dock and all through the
journey to London the Russian had his
hands full with Ajax. Each new face
of the thousands that came within the
anthrapOid's ken must be carefully
scrutiniZed, much to the horror of many
of his victims. But at last, failing ap-
parently to discover whom he sought,
the great ape relapsed into morbid ap-
difference, only occasionally evincing
interest in passing face.
In London Paulvitch went directly
with his prize to a famous animal
trainer. This man was much impressed
with Ajax, with the result that he
agreed to train him for q lions share
of the profits of exhibiting him and in
the meantime to provide for the keep
of both the ape and his owner.
And so came Ajax to London, and
there was forged another link in the
chain of strange circumstances that
were to affect the lives of many people.

Raised Her Own CurLs.

Elizabeth had accompanied her
mother down town on shopping trip.
While mother was busy selecting her
goods Elizabeth wandered over to the
office quarters, which We're on that

the pretty golden curls of the child, the
cashier asked: Little girl, where did

have nothing. to guide him but his own

these may be in the wrong direction at

Mr.. Moore's room was next to that
of his youthful charge, and it was the
tutors custom to have look into the
boys each evening as the former was
about to retire. This evening he was
particularly careful not to neglect this
duty, for he had just come from con-
ference with the boys father and moth
er, in which it had been impressed
upon him that he must exercise the
greatest care to prevent Jack visiting
the music hall where Ajax was being
shown.
SO when he opened the boys door at
about half-paSt nine he was greatly ex-
cited, though not entirely surprised, to
find the future Lord Greystoke fully
dressed for the street and about to
crawl from his open bedroom window.
Mr. Moore made a rapid sprint
across the apartment, but the waste of
energy was unnecessary, for when the
boy heard him within the chamber and
realized that he had been discovered,
he turned back, as though to relinQuiSh
his planned adventure.
where were you going?' painted the
excited Mr. Moore.
II am going to see Ajax" replied the
boy quietly.
Il am astonished!" cried Mr.. Moore.
A moment later he was infinitely more
astonished, for the boy, approaching

And John Clayton, Lord Greystoke,

good-naturedly down into her up

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 a mistake. Had |

ences of Tarzan of the Apes l could

The largest tree in Japan has a name
which seems to fit It's size-cercidi-

this tree grows nearly 100 feet high
and produces from the crown a cluster
of stems with a total circumference of
90 feet or more. A specimen Of this

about thirty years old and has proved
perfectly hardy. 1t is very attractive

CHAPTER XIV.

Like swift shadow and as noise
less Duane stole across the level
toward the dark wall of rock. Every
nerve was a strung wire. For a little
while his mind was cluttered and
clogged with whirling thoughts, from
which, like a flashing scroll, unrolled
the long, battling order of action. The
game was now In his hands. He must
cross Mount Ord at night. The feat
was improbable, but it might be done.
He must ride into Bradford, forty
miles from the foothills, before eight
O'Clock next morning. He must tele-
graph MacNelly to be In Val Verde
on the twenty-fifth. He must ride
back to Ord to intercept Knell. face
him. and while the iron was hot strike
hard to win Poggin's half-won interest
rs he had wholly won Fletcher's.
Failing that last, he must let the out
laws alone to bide their time In Ord,
to be free to ride to their new job
In Val Verde. In the meantime he
must plan to arrest Longstreth. It
was a magnificent outline. incredible
alluring. unfathOmable in its nameless
certainty. He felt like fate. He
seemed to be the iron consequences
falling upon these doomed outlaws.
Under the wall the shadows were
black. only the tips Of trees and crags
showing, yet he went straight to the
trail. It was merely a grayness be-
tween borders Of black. He climbed
and never stopped. It did not seem
steep. His feet might have had eyes.
He surmounted the wall, and, looking
down into the ebony gulf pierced by
one point Of light, he lifted q menac-
ing arm and shook It. Then he strobe
on, and did not falter till he reached
the huge shelving cliffs. Here he lost
the trail; there was none; but he re-
membered the shapes, the points, the
notches of rock above. Before he
reached the ruins of splintered ram
parts and jumbles of broken walls the
moon topped the eastern slope Of the
mountain, and the fhystifying black
ness he had dreaded changed to magic
silver light. It seemed as light as day,
only soft, mellow, and the air he'd a
transparent sheen. He ran up the bare
ridges and down the smooth slopes,
and, like goat, jumped from rock to
rock. In this light he knew his way.
and lost no time looking for a trail.
He crossed the divide, and then had
al downhill before him. Swiftly he
descended, almost always sure Of his
memory Of the landmarks. He did not
remember having studied them In the
ascent. yet here they were. even In
changed light, familiar q his sight.

There was not An outlaw in sight.
The dusty horses had covered distance
that morning. AS Duane dlsmounted
he heard loud, angry voices inside the
tavern. He removed coat and vest,
hung them over the pommel, He pack
ed two guns one belted high on the
left hip, the other one swinging low on
the right side. He neither looked nor
listened, but boldly pushed the door
and stepped inside.
The big room was full Of men, and
every face pivoted toward him
Knelps pale face flashed into Duane's
swift sight; then Boldt's, then Blossom
Kane's, then Panhandle Smiths. then
Fletcher's, then others that were fami'
liar, and last that Of Poggin. Though
Duane had never seen Poggin or heard
him described, he knew him. For ne
saw face that was record OF great
and evil deeds.
There was absolute silence. The
outlaws were lined back of a long
table upon which were papers, stacks
Of silver coin, bundle Of bills, and q
huge gold-mounted gun.

the ringing force and power of which
