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

quickly"
The boy did as he was bid, placing
his hands behind him when Paulvitch
told him to do SO. Instantly the old
a 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
years before, for Tarzan had broken
up his business as a slave dealer. Now,
with an angry oath, he wheeled Tar
cans 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
none to come to the succor Of the
fallen.
Paulvitch's fingers sought the lads
throat. He grinned down horribly into
the face of his victim.

twisted fiend cackled In gloating laugh

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

The ape lunged against the stout

awaiting 1t.
The boy struggled to his feet, az
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 aud 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

might have noted that one Of them
was an ape.

STATE BANKS POPULAR

A Pierre dispatch to the Aberdeen
News says:
while bankers fought the bank
guaranty act a long time in this state,
and when it went into effect, several
state banks changed their charters to
National banks, to get out from un-
der the guaranty provisions. But now
that the law has had a practical work
ing test the changes are going the
other way, in the past few days the
First National Bank of South Shore
changing its charter from a national
to a state bank, under the new title
of South Shore Bank. The First Ma
tional Bank of Henry has changed
its charter to that of a state bank I'M
der the name of State Bank of Hen
ry.
The Lamro State Bank has in
creased its capital from SO, 900 to $780,
900. The practical working tests of
lHe pdnh SudldHly ID" VI Ills oIdle
have been so satisfactory that the op-
position which was voiced before the
enactment of the law, and over the
situation before the law had a work
ing test, has all vanished, and instead
of working against the state banks,
it has strengthened them as financial
factors of this state"

heavily backward. The great muscles
stood out beneath his shaggy hide.
There was a 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

of supreme appeal. Miss Taliaferro
is seen at her best in this colorful pho
todrama. In the early part of the
story she is shown as care-free, hoy
denish fisherman's daughter. Later,
she affords a marvellous contrast in
her powerful portrayal of wronged
and indignant woman. Miss Taliafer-
ro's wonderful versatility is put to the
supreme test in this feature. She was
last seen on the Metro program in
Goods Half Acre." and before that
in "The Snowbird." Edwin Carewe,
who directed Miss Taliaferro in both
these pictures, also produced "The
Dawn Of Love" for Metro.

cence rsth.er hurt the slider engineer.
He had invited confidence and had
even given his affection. He intimat-
ed dellcately that IL the other we're
under a cloud Vandeventer might be
In position to help him.
1t was fortunate for Meade's pur-
pose of cOncealment, for his incOgnitO,
that most Of his engineering work had
been done abroad and that he had
been out Of touch with American en-
gineering for practically the whole of
his career. Vandeventer was a Har-
ward man, too, and that made it espe-
cially hard for Meade to keep from
betraying himself. As a matter of
fact, the younger man actually lOnged
to make a clean breast of it, but he
could not quite bring himself to do 1t
yet. That might come later.
Three months ought to see the COM
pletiOn of the dam and the long canal,
which was to carry the stored water
to the irrigation bitches below. Van
deventer was already making plans
for another big job, and he had de-
cided. in his own mind, that among the
subordinates whom he would take
with him the newcomer should have
the first chance. Vandeventer felt
proud and satisfied when he surveyed
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1917-05-17
CHAPTER XIV.
The Former and the Latter Rain.

The Former and the Latter Hain.
The work on the dam was progress
ing splendidly. Vandeventer driving
his men hard, shared in all their furi-
Gus efforts. He was not only their
leader, but their inspiration. He had
surrounded himself with a body of
able assistants, and his teamsters and
workmen had been culled until they
had become a small army of picked
men of which to be proud.
Among all these Meade stood very
high. In the four months he had been
with Vandeventer he had shown such
u grasp of things, such an ability to
handle men, in one or two instances
when, with intention to try him, the
resident engineer had given him
charge of some special work, that
Vandeventer uncOnsciously looked to
him in any emergency. He actually
found himself consulting Meade on
occasion.
He had accompanied the younger
man on one of those rambles which he
had hitherto taken alone. He had not
broken down Meade's reserve, but he
had won his admiration and regard.
Vandeventer was not unknown in en-
gineering circles. In earthwork he
was by way of being an authority.
His experience had been varied and
extensive. Meade's reserve and reti-
