CHAPTER u.
ITO See Ajax"


Mr.. Harold Moore was q bilious
countenanced, studious young man. He
took himself very seriously, and his
life and his work, which latter was the
tutoring Of the young son Of Lord
Greystoke, q British n0bleman. He
felt that his charge was not making
the progress that his parents had a
right to expect, and he was now con-
scientiously explaining this fact to the
boys mother.
Ills sole interest seems to be feats
Of physical prowess and the reading Of
everything that he can get hold Of re-
lating to savage beasts and the lives
and customs of uncivilized peoples.
Particularly stories Of animals appeal
to him. He will sit for hours together

explorer, and upon two occasions !
have found him sitting up in bed at
night reading Carl Hagenbeck's book
on men and beasts.
For several minutes neither spoke.
1t was the boys mother who finally
broke the silence.

she said, "that you do everything In
your power to discourage this tendency

"Whoopw from the direction Of the
window brought them both to their
feet.
The room was ON the second floor of
the house, and opposite the window to
which their attention had been attract
ed was q large tree, branch Of which
spread to within few feet of the SILL
Upon this branch they both discov-
cred the subject Of their conversation,
q tall, well built boy, balancing with
ease upon the bending limb and utter
ing loud shouts of glee as he noted the
terrified expressions upon the faces Of
his audience.
The mother and tutor both rushed
toward the window, but before they
had crossed half the room the boy had
leaped nimbly to the sill and entered
the apartment with them.
"Oh. mother" he cried, ''there's .
wonderful educated ape being shown
at one of the music halls. Willie
Grimsby saw it last night. He says it
can do everything but talk. It rides

conner.

looking warningly at her husband.
"Who-Ajax" questioned the man.
The boy nodded.

turned toward his wife.
But that lady only shook her head In
q most positive manner and, turning to
Mr.. Moore, asked him II 1t was not

study for their morning recitations.
When the two had left she turned to.

It was from her husband that the
boy had inherited his longing for the
wild. Lord Greystoke's parents had

Of the savage life from which we both
wish to preserve him."
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 goingT painted the
excited Mr.. Moore.
Il am going to see Ajax" replied the
boy quietly.
II am astonishedl !" cried Mr.. Moore
A moment later he was infinitely more
astonished, for the boy, approaching
close to him, suddenly seized him about
the waist, lifted him from his feet and
threw him, back downward, upon the
bed, showing his face deep into the soft
pillow.
BE quiet" admonished the victor,
cor M choke you"
Mr.. Moore struggled, but his efforts
were in vain. Whatever else Tarzan Of
the Apes may or may not have handed
down to his son, he had at least be-
queathed him almost as marvellous a
physique as he himself had possessed
at the same age.
Kneeling upon him, Jack tore strips
from a sheet and bound the mans
hands behind his back. Then he rolled
him over and stuffed>a gag of the same
material between his teeth, securing it
with strip wound about the back of
his victims head. Next he tied Mr..
Moore's feet together.

que life that claimed you for SO many
years, and at the same time you know
better than any other how frightful q
fate it would be for Jack were the tran

II doubt II there is any danger OF his
inheriting taste for jungle life from

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 think
that you have made a mistake. Had
been able to tell him Of the expert
ences Of Tarzan Of the Apes could
doubtless have taken much OF the

unable to account satisfactorily for the
strange ceremony with which he greet

he seemed continually to be search

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 tho ships company and explor-
ed every corner Of the vessel. he lapsed
into utter indifference Of al 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 II his age had i'm
