CHAPTER vi.
The JeweI.Room of opar.

For some time TarZan lay where he
had fallen upon the floor of the treas
ure chamber beneath the ruined walls
of Opar. He lay as one dead; but he
was not dead. At length he stirred.
Slowly he rose to sitting posture
listening. No sound reached to the
buried depths of his sepulcher. He
staggered to his feet and CROPPED his
way among the tiers of ingots. What
was he? Where was he? His head
ached; but otherwise he felt no i'll
effects from the blow that had felled
him. The accident he did not recall
nor did he recall aught of what had
led up to it.
He let his hands grope unfamiliarly
over his limbs, his torso, and his head.
He felt of the culver at his back, the
knife in his loin cloth. Something
struggled for recognition within his
brain. All! he had it. There was
something missing. He crawled about
upon the floor, feeling with his hands
for the thing that instinct warned him
was gone. At last he found 1.-THE
heavy war spear that in past years had
formed so important feature of his
daily life. almost of his very existence.
Tarzan was sure that there was an
other and more lovely world than that
which was confined to the darkness of
the four stone walls surrounding him
lie continued his search and at last
found the doorway leading inward be
meath the city and the temple. This
lie followed, most incautiouSly. He
came to the stone steps leading up
ward 10 the higher level. He ascend
ed them and continued onward toward
the well, laundering on through the
darkness as though he were TRANSFERS,
rhg an open plain under the briIliance
of MONDAY sun, and suddenly there
happened that which had TO happen
under the circumstances of his rash
advance.
He reached the brink of the well.
stepped outward into space. lunged
forward and shot downward into the
inky depths below. Still clutching his
spear. he struck the water and sank
beneath its surface, plumbing the
depths.

The fall lad not injured him, and
when he rose to the surface he shook
the water from his eyes and found that
he could see. Tarzan gazed about him.
On the level with the surface of the
water he saw a large opening in the
dank and Shiny wall. He swan to il
and drew himself out upon the wet
floor of tunnel.
Along this he passed; but now he
went warily, for Tarzan of the Apes
was learning. The unexpected pit had
taught him care IN the traversing of
dark passageways-he needed no Sec
ond lesson.
For long distance the passage went
straight as an arrow The foot of a
stairway ended it. Up this he made
his way. 1t turned back and forth
many times. leading, at last, into a
small, circular chamber
Curiosity prompted the ape-man to
investigate his surroundings. Several
metal-bound, copper-studded chests
constituted the sole furniture of the

ECONOMY IN FUEL FOR DAIRY
Specialists Advise That All Waste
Steam Be Utilized During the
Current Winter.

Prepared by the United States Depart

Many factory operations of the dairy
industry require the use of heat, al
though they demand little power. AS
exhaust steam contains about 90 per
cent of its original heat, it can be
advantageously used in pasteurizing
milk and cream, and in sterilizing

mercial plant according to specialists.
They advise that all dairy factory men
utilize this waste steam during the
current winter, when fuel may be

round room. Tarzan let his hands
run over these. He felt of the copper
studs he pulled upon the hinges and
at last by chance he raised the cover
of one.
An exclamation of delight broke
from his lips Mt sight Of the pretty DON
tents. Cleaning and glistening in the
subdued light of the lchamber lay a
great tray full of brilliant stones. Tar
zan, reverted to the primitive by his
accident, had no conception of the
fabulous value of his find. To him
they were but pretty pebbles. He
plunged his hands in them and let the
priceless gems filter through his fin
gers. He went To others of the chests.
only to find still further stores of pre-
cious stones. Nearly all were cut, and
from these he gathered handful and
filed the pouch which dangled at his
side-the uncut stones he tossed back
into the chests. Unwittingly, the ape
man had stumbled upon the forgotten
jewel room of Opar.

yet discovered.
Above him an opening in the ceiling
Mt the upper end of IL fight of con-
crete steps revealed Il brilliant sunlit
scene. Tarzan viewed the uncovered
columns in mild wonderment. There
was tantalizing suggestion always
present in his mind that something
was Guiding hin-that he should know
many things which he did not know.
His earnest cogitation was rudely
interrupted by thunderous roar from
the opening above him. Following the
roar came the cries and screams of
men and women. TarZan grasped his
spear more firmly and assembled the
steps. A strange sight met his eyes
as he emerged from the semidarkness
of the cellar to the brilliant light of
the temple.

WATER FOR COWS IN WINTER
If Highest Production Is to Be Main
tained Drinking Water Must
Be Warmed.

Cows frequently refuse to drink the
water in an icy trough. A COW must
be thirsty, indeed. before she viii fill
herself with freezing water. 1t is
necessary, in view of the fact that
milk contains about 81 per cent water,
to warm the drinking water for dairy
cows if highest possible production is
to he maintained. Unless the cow
drinks a sufficient quantity of water
her milk production will diminish, and
she will not drink enough unless it is
warm. Suitable shelter from cold rains
and raw winds is another comfort
which the COW win repay in milk.

With the profit the association derived
from the sale of 80 head of cattle
which it brought in from the southern
part of the state. and from the sale of
several other animals secured locally,
the association bought eight purebred
bull calves. The method by which
these calves were distributed resem-

movement.

man who does not at least propose to
himself to be better this year than ne
was last, must be either very good or
very bad, indeed And only to pro-
pose to be better is something; II
nothing else it is an acknowledgment
of our need to be so, which is the f1rst
step towards amendment. But. in
fact, to propose to oneself to do well,
is in some sort to do well, positively,

yesterday, is better; and he who is not
better, is worse-Charles Lamb.

of it. We have learned to look for

hope and expectation.
