fallen.
Paulyitch's fingers sought the lads
throat. He grinned down horribly into
the face of his victim,
"Your father ruined me-" he num-
bled. "This will pay him. He will
think that the ape did 1t. will tell
him that the ape did 1t; that left
him alone for a few minutes and that
you sneaked In and the ape killed you.
will throw your body upon the bed
after have choked the life out of you,
and when 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 upon his countenance.
He was the son of Tarzan. The fingers
frightened their grip upon his throat. 1t
was with difficulty that he breathed-
gaspingly.
The ape lunged against tho stout
cord that held him. Turning, he
wrapped the cord about his hands, as
n man might have done, and surged
heavily backward. The great muscles
stood out beneath his shaggy hide.
There was rcnding rs of splintered
wood-the cord held, but 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 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 it.
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 Develop Irish Peat Roas.

The lack Of by-products from peat
owing to the shutting off of German
exports Is directing new attention to
Irish peat boys. 1t is stated that peat
in Its composition contains ingredients
which produce acetate of lime, an es-
sentinl In the manufacture of cordite;
sulphate of ammonia, source of nitro
gen naphtha, parafiin, and other vola-
tile oils; charcoal carbon, from which
pencils for electric light are manu-
featured; many gallons of alcoholic
spirit to ton of peat; composition
that adds strength to food for cattle
and dogs; cultured flavor in
whiskies; and recently it has been
demonstrated by Professor Bottomley
of Kings college, London, that peat
is an excellent fertilizer under GER
tain conditions. A large company,
backed by body Of experts, has been
formed to promote the manufacture Of
the many by-products of Irish peat.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy 10
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need Of 1t.
u prominent druggist says, '"Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, q
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know Of
has so large SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, 80 many people claim, it fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid whicA causes rheumatism.

Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Address

Texas once Was Larger.

Before its annexation to the United
States, in 1S45, Texas was an indie
pendent republic with much larger
area than the present state, though 1t
is still the largest state in the Union.
It's area as a republic was 376,163
square miles. In 1850 the state coded
to the United States all territory be-
yond its present limits of 274,358
square miles, in consideration of $10,-
100000 In bonds, with the proceeds Of
which Texas paid off her state debt.

Be Quiet.

"Study to be Qulet"-that is, study
to dismiss all hustle and worry out of
your inward life. Study also to "do
your own business" and do not try to
do the business of other people. A
great deal of "creaturely activity" is
extended in trying to do other peoples
business. 1t is often hard to "sit still"
when we see our friends, according to
our ideas, mlsmanaging matters, and
making such dreadful blunders. But
the divine order, as 1t is also the bestl
human order as well, is for each one of
us to do our own business, and to re-
frain from meddling with the busi-
ness # anyone else--Exchange.

would set him down at school in a few
hours. No sooner had they left him,
however, %than .he gathered his bags
| together, descended from the compart-
ment and sought cab stand outside
the stat /. Here he engaged a cabby
to take him TO the Russians address.
1t was dusk when he arrived. He
found Paulvitch awaiting him. The
man was pacing the floor nervously.
The ape was tied with stout cord
to the bed. 1t was the first time that
Jack had ever seen Ajax thus secured.
He looked questionlngly at Paul
witch. The man mumblingly explained
that he believed the animal had
guessed that he was to be sent away
and that he feared he would attempt
to escape.
Paulvitch carried another piece of
cord in his hand There was moose
in one end of it, which he was con-
| tinually playing with. He walked back
and forth, up and down the room. His
pockmarked features were working
horribly as he talked silently to him
self. The boy had never seen him
thus. 1t made him uneasy.
At last Paulvitch stopped on the op.
posite side Of the room far from the
ape.
Come here" he said to the lad. II
will show You how to secure the ape
should he show signs of rebellion dur
ing the trip"
The lad laughed. at will not be

Still smiling, the lad crossed the
room and stood before the Russ.

can show you how to bind him
quickly"
The boy did ms he was bid, placing
his hands behind him when Paulvitch
man slipped the running moose over
one of the lads wrists, took 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
years before, for Tarzan had broken
up his business as slave dealer. Now,
with an angry oath, he wheeled Tar
zan's son about, tripped him and hurled
him violently to the floor, leaping upon
his breast as he fell. From the bed
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

Some Thoughts of Truth
Written for The Evening Journal
By JAMES T. CRozIER

While walking on the street today
] met a long time friend,
1 do believe, said he to me,
This world is near its end
Wars and rumors, the Good Book says
Shall come upon the land;
First-well, they have come that is a
fact
We all can understand.
There's other things that also prove
The same are at an end.
One time l had some plunks, but now
Have not got much to spend.
But in this home where I am now
I'm happy as clam,
Because Of wealth that l have got
COntented as l am.
Some days ago while writing, folks
I think did read these words;
With friends my occupation now
II eat, write, feed the birds.
I do not care 10 so TO way

And then perhaps It would keep me
From sleeping sound at ght

And gets home late at night.
