CHAPTER iv.-continued.

Leaping to his feet, he hurled his
shoulder against the door. Herr Skopf
was heavy man. The frail door col
lapsed beneath his weight, and Herr
Skopf stumbled precipitately into the
room.
Before him lay the greatest mystery
of his life. Upon the floor at his feet
was the dead body of strange man.
The neck was broken and the jugular
severed as by the fangs of a wild
beast. The old lady and her grand
They must have disappeared through
the window, for the door had been
locked from the inside.
But how could the boy have carried
his invalid grandmother from sec
ond story window to the ground? 1t
was preposterous. Again Herr Skopf
searched the small room. He noticed
that the bed was pulled well away
from the wall. Why? He looked be-
meath it again for the third or fourth
time. The two were gone, and yet his
Judgment told him that the old lady
could not have gone without porters
to carry her down as they had carried
her up the previous day.
Further search but deepened the
mystery. All the clothing of the two
was still in the room. If they had gone
they they must have gone naked or in
their night clothes.
No boat had left the harbor in the
meantime. There was not railroad
within hundreds of miles. There was
no other white settlement that the two
could reach under several days of ar
duous marching, accompanied by u
well equipped safari. They had sim
ply vanished into thin air, for the ma
tive he had sent to inspect the ground
beneath the open window had just re-
turned to report that there was no
sign of footstep there, and what sort
of creatures We're they who could have
dropped that distance TO the soft turf
without leaving spoor?
Herr Skopf shuddered. Yes, 1t was
a great mystery. There was some
thing uncanny about the whole thing.
He hated to think about it, and he
dreaded the coming of night
II was a great mystery to Herr

part of 1t Is that in costume, convey

been practically no change in these 500
years. The wheels of their long, mar
row carts have spokes In them now
whereas they used to be solid wheels,
and perhaps the rush mating that

may be little better woven. But the

mode of life on their ploddlng journey,

Fence Built Of Trees.

SO many years ago that nobody
knows when 1t was, nor who was the
labor saving genius who did 1t. fence
was built In Michigan by forcing split
boards between saplings. Then the
trees grew.
They kept growing until today they
are Of immense size and deeply i'm
bedded In them are the ends Of those
old rails. 1t Is impossible to tell how
far they extend into the tree trunks,
They are weathered. yet they ring as
true under a hammer as though just
hewn.
1t happened that the trees formed a
boundary line for one Of the old tracts.
The rails were arranged five feet, and
the growth of the trees around their
ends has created one Of the most sub
stantial fences imaginable.

which the son of Tarzan held longest
In his memory. No savage carnivora
menaced him. There was never a sign
of hideous barbarian, or If there We're
the boys troubled mind took no cog
niZance of them.
His conscience was harassed by the
thought of his mothers suffering.
Self blame plunged him into the depths
Of misery.
The killing Of the American caused
him little or no remOrse. The fellow
had earned his fate. Jacks regret on
this score was due mainly to the effect
which the death of Conlon had had
upon his own plans.
Now he could not return directly to
his parents. as he had planned. Fear
of the primitive borderland law, of
which he had read highly colored, i'm
aginary tales, had thrust him into the
jungle-a fugitive. He dared not re-
turn to the coast at this point, not
that he was so greatly influenced
through personal fear as from a desire
to shield his father and mother from
further sorrow and from the shame of
having their honored name dragged
through the sordid degradation of n
murder trial.
With returning day the boys spirits
rose. With the rising sun came new
hope within his breast. He would re-
turn to civilization by another way.
None would guess that he had been
connected with the killing of the stran-
ger in the little out of the way trading
post upon a remote shore.

little flyer he had taken with some ilte
insurance money. The other S400 he had
reinvested, and the relief from the strain
he had been under made him almost
contented again.
If the money had the power to bring
Ruth contentment with her lot, If after
paying her debts and buying her new

the old scores that had made her feel out

Then she took Natalie to lunch.
She called up her mother on the tele-

the occasion she wore her entire new

HAVERFORD TRUSTEES
HEAR STUDENTS PLEA
Act Today on Petition Against
Compulsory Religious Meet
ings Attendance

The protest of Haverford College stu
dents against compulsory attendance at
Thursday religious meetings will be con-
sidered this afternoon at 400 Chestnut
street by the college board Of trustees.
The undergraduates give three princi-
pal reasons for their action. They as
sert the vast majority Of the students
at Haverford are not in sympathy with
the doctrines Of Quakerism," that com
pulsory attendance at religious services
is in all cases Objectionable" and that
the spirit of meeting at present is in
no wise compatible with sincere religious
worship
While Haverford College is a Friends
institution, founded by Friends and sup
ported largely by their gifts, members OF
that sect, It is said, comprise only about
80 per cent Of the student body.
DR.. William W. Comfort, president of
the college, said he has no official knowl- !
edge of the petition. He added the
faculty is satisfied with the manner in
which the Thursday meetings are at
tended and conducted.
