she-ape's cub before him, and he
thought that this other was bent
upon robbing him of his prey. With
an angry growl, he charged
Taug, warned by Teeka's cry, came
numbering down to her assistance.
Several other bulls, growing and
! barking, closed in toward the clear
ing, but they were all much farther
from the balu and the panther than
was Tarzan Of the Apes, so it was
that Sheeta and the ape-man reached
Teeka's little one almost simultane-
ously, and there they stood, one upon
either side of it, barring their fangs
and snarling at each other over the
| little creature.
| Sheeta was afraid to seize the
balu, for thus 3e would give the
ape-man an opening for attack, and
for the same reason Tarzan hesitated
to snatch the panther's prey out of
harms way, for had he stopped to
accomplish this, the great beast
would have been upon him in an in
slant. Thus they stood while Teeka
came across the clearing, going more
slowly as she neared the panther
for even her mother love could scarce
yovercome her instructive terror of
this natural enemy of her kind.
Behind her came Taug, warily and
with many pauses and much bluster,
and still behind him came other
bulls, snarling ferociously and utter
| ing their uncanny challenges.
| Sheeta's yellow-green eyes glared
terribly at Tarzan, and past Tarzan
they shot brief glances at the apes
of Kerchak advancing upon him.
Discretion prompted him to turn
and flee, but hunger and the close
proximity of the tempting morsel in
the grass before him urged him to
remain. He reached forth paw
toward Teeka's balu, and as he did
so, with savage cultural, Tarzan
of the Apes was upon him.
The panther reared to meet the
ape-man's attack. .sHe swung a
frightful, raking blow for Tarzan
that would have wiped his face away
had it landed, but it did not land, for
Tarzan ducked beneath it and closed
his long knife ready in one strong
hand-the knife of his dead father
of the father he never had known.
Instantly the baiu was forgotten
by Sheeta, the panther. He now
thought only of tearing to ribbons
with his powerful talons the flesh OF
his antagonist, of burying his long
yellow fangs in the soft, smooth hide
of the ape-man, but Tarzan had
fought before with clawed creatures
of the jungle. Before now he had
battled with fanged monsters, MOI
always had he come away unscathed

depths of the latter's abysmal ignor-
ance, and pointing out how much
greater and mightier was Tarzan of
the Apes than Taug or any other ape.
In the end he would release Taug,
but not until Taug was fully ac-
quainted with his own inferiority.
And then the ~maddened bull came
from beneath, and instantly Tarzan
was transformed from good
natured, teasing youth into a snarl-
ing, savage beast. Along his scalp
the hair bristled; his upper lip drew
back that his fighting fangs might
be uncovered and ready. He did not
wait for the bull to reach him, for
something in the appearance or the
voice of the attaeker aroused with
in the ape-man feeling of bellig-
erent antagonism that would not be
denied. With scream that carried
no human note, Tarzan leaped
straight at the throat of the at
tacker.
The impetuosity of this act and the
weight and momentum of his body
carried the bull backward, clutching
and clawing for support, down
through the leafy branches of the
tree. For fifteen feet the two fell,
Tarzan's teeth buried in the jugular
of his opponent, when stout branch
stopped their descent. The bull
struck full upon the small of his
back across the limb, hung there for
a momeht with the ape-man still
upon his breast, and then toppled
over toward the ground.
Tarzan had felt the instantaneous
relaxation Of the body beneath him
after the heavy impact with the
tree limb, and as the other turned
completely over and started again
upon its fall toward the ground, ne
reached forth hand and caught the
branch in time to stay his own de-
scent, while the ape dropped like a
plummet to the foot Of the tree.
Tarzan looked downward for a
moment upon the still form of his
late antagonist, then he rose to his
full height, swelled his deep chest,
smote upon it with his clenched fist
and roared out the uncanny chal-
lenge of the victorious bull ape.
Even Sheeta, the panther, crouched
for spring at the edge of the little
clearing, moved uneasily as the
mighty voice sent its weird cry
reverberating through the jungle.
To the right and left, nervously
nglanced Sheeta, as though assuring
himself that the way of escape lay
ready at hand.
81 am Tarzan of the Apes" boast
ed the ape-man, mighty hunter,
mighty fighter! None in all the
jungle SO great as Tarzan."
Then he made his way back in the
direction of Taug. Teeka had
watched the happenings in the tree,
She had even placed her precious
balu upon the soft grasses and come
a little nearer that she might better
witness all that was passing in the
branches above her. In her heart
of hearts did she still esteem the
smooth-skinned Tarzan? Did her
savage breast swell with pride as
she witnessed his victory over the
ape? You will have to ask Teeka,
| And Sheeta, the panther, saw that
the she-ape had left her cub alone
amcng the grasses. He moved his
tail again, as though this closest ap-

demonium which now reigned within
the jungle.
Bitten and biting, tearing and
torn, Sheeta battled for his life, but
the odds were against him. Even
Numa, the lion, would have hesi-
tated to have attacked an equal num-
Der of the great bulls of the tribe Of
Kerchak, and now, half mile away,
hearing the sounds of the terrific
battle, the king of beasts rose un-.
easily from his midday slumber and
skunk off farther into the jungle.
Presently Sheeta's torn and
bloody body ceased its titanic strug-
giles. 1t stiffened spasmodically,
twitched and was still, yet the bulls
continued to lacerate it until the
beautiful coat was torn to shreds.
At last they desisted from sheer
physical weariness, and then from
the tangle of bloody bodies rose q
crimson giant, straight as an ar
row.
He placed foot upon the dead
body of the panther, and lifting
his blood-stained face to the blue
Of the equatorial heavens, gave voice
to the horrid victory cry of the bull
! ape.
One by one his hairy fellows Of
the tribe of Kerchak followed his
example. The shes came down from
their perches of safety and struck
and reviled the dead body of Sheeta.
The young apes refought the battle
In mimicry of their mighty elders.
Teeka was quite close to Tarzan. He
turned and saw her with the balu
hugged close to her hairy breast, and
put out his hands to take the little
one, expecting that Teeka would
bare her fangs and spring upon him,
but instead she placed the balu in
his arms, and coming nearer, licked
his frightful wounds.
And presently Taug, who had
escaped with only few scratches
came and squatted beside Tarzan
and watched him as he played with
the little balu, and at last he too
leaned over and helped Teeka with
the cleansing and the healing of the
ape-man's hurts.

moose was stopping the circulation
of the blood in his legs-he was be-
ginning to suffer. Several apes sat
near him highly interested in his
predicament. They made uncompli-
mentary remarks about him, for each
of them felt the weight of Taug's
mighty hands and the strength of his
great jaws. They were enjoying
revenge.
Teeka, seeing that Tarzan had
turned back toward the tires, had
halted in the center of the clearing,
and there sat hugging her balu and
casting suspicious glances here and
there. With the coming of the balu,
Teeka's care-free world had suddenly
become peopled with innumerable
enemies. She saw .an implacable
foe in Tarzan, always heretofore her
best friend. Even poor old Mumga
half blind and almost toothless,
searching patiently for grubworms
beneath fallen log, represented to
her malignant spirit thirsting for
the blood of little balus.
And while Teeka guarded sus.
piciously against harm, where there
was no harm, she failed to note two
baleful, yellow-green eyes staring
fixedly at her from behind clumI
of bushes at the opposite side of the
clearing.
Hollow from hunger, Sheeta, the
panther, glared greedily at the
tempting meat so close at hand, but
the sight of the great bulls beyonc
gave him pause.
All, if the she-ape with her balu
would but come just trifie nearer
A quick spring and he would be upon
them and away again with his meat
before the bulls could prevent.
The tip of his tawny tail moved
in spasmodic little jerks; his lower
jaw hung low, exposing a rec
tongue and yellow fangs. But al
this Teeka did not see, nor did any
other of the apes who were feeding
or resting about her. Nor did Tar.
zan or the apes in the trees.
Hearing the abuse which the bulls
were pouring upon the helpless
Taug, Tarzan clambered quickly
among them. One was edging closer
and leaning far out in an effort tc
reach the dangling ape. He hao
worked himself into quite fury
through recollection of the last oc'
casion upon which Taug had mauleG
/ him, and now he was bent upon re-
venge. Once he had grasped the
swinging ape he would quickly have
drawn him within reach of his jaws
Tarzan saw and was wroth. Hs
loved a fair fight, but the thing
which this ape contemplated revoltee
him. Already a hairy hand hac
clutched the helpless Taug when
with an angry growl of protest, Tar
zan leaped to the branch at the at
tacking apes side, and with single
mighty cuff, swept him from his
perch.
Surprised and enraged, the bul
clutched madly for support as hi
toppled sidewise, and then with ar
agile movement succeeded in pro
jecting himself toward another limt

the effect of a moving picture Of those
ancient days embalmed in stone as IL

History Wrought in Stone.
Chapter by chapter the entire his.
tory of the Dacian campaigns is re-
vealed, with a continuity of thought
and a precision of historical facts and
verify of detail that are marvellous.
The building Of bridges, the natural
difficulties Of the country in which
the wars were fought, the methods OF
siege and storm, advance and at
tack by land and river, in open field
and against walled cities. the details
of ancient military engineering, cos
tune, arms and all implements of
war, all these things are wrought there
with such a wonderful fertility of de-
sign and dramatic vigor of expression
as to form a veritable encyclopedia
Of Roman warfare of that period.
The whole of the column was origi-
nally covered with gold and color.
Brilliant crimson. blue and yellow were
largely used for the reliefs forming
the main shaft and must have pre-.
sented an appearance Of barbaric
splendor in the days Of their pristine
chromatic glory. Nor was this drama
in stone enacted with its Hamlet left
out. The figure Of Trajan is every
where with a predominant appeal. The
idealized emperor is presented under
all sorts of conditions that were cal
culated to rebound to his glory, as
the warrior leading his hosts, as the
master engineer directing the mechan-
zeal constructions, as a leader of scout
Ing forces, as a soldlS sharing the
hard lot Of his fellow soldiers, as the

1t cannot be said, however, I'm this age

fulfill, his own self-appointed tasks,
and he preferred to take men only on
his own terms. He was filed with
righteous indignation, in reading Car

If q mother can select only n feat

would be the best choice. There are so
many opportunities for stories at
home. They will serve as oil to the
machinery Of bathing, dressing, eating.
and can accompany ironing, the wash

like. The mother whose mind Is well
