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
hel.ited 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.
"Your father ruined me-" he num-
bled. "This will pay him. He will
think that the ape did it. l will tell
him that the ape did it; that left
him alone for a few minutes and that
you sneaked in and the ape killed you.

and when I bring your father he will
see the ape squatting over it," and the
twisted fiend cackled in gloating laugh
ter.
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
tightened their grip upon his throat. It
was with difficulty that he breathed-
gaspingly. +.
The ape lunged against the stout
cord that held him. Turning, he
wrapped the cord about his hands, as
man might have done, and surged
heavily backward. The great muscles
stood out beneath his shaggy hide.
There was rending as Of splintered
wood-the cord held, but 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 q 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

An Urgent Celebration
BY Willis Brooks

By Willis Brooks.
Ny father was Marshal one Fourth Of
July,
And made long Lasting impression,
With his sash and his sword and
plume waving high,
AS he gallantly rode a gay thorough
bred by
At the head of the gorgeous pro-.
cession.
In a garlanded chariot next to the
band
My mother was Liberty's Goddess;
With cap on her head and sword
in her hand,
Begowned in the stripes of our glori-
Gus land,
Set off with star-spangled bodice.
You see, this was ever SO long, long
Before they were known to each
other;
And, of course. since he wasn't so
much as her beau,
Neither one of them had any reason
to know
That they were my father and
mother.
Now the Marshal, you know, is ex-
pected to ride
Up and down the whole length of
the column;
And the Goddess is always supposed
to preside
As the guardian of Freedom, Amer
ica's pride,
With dignity stately and solemn.
For Marshal is one who's appointed
to see
That the marchers are all in their
stations;
And Goddess, of course, is expected
to be
So far above earthly enticements that
she
viii indulge in no human flirtations.
But I've heard people say twas the
| talk of the town
That this Marshal was So patriotic
He pranced and cavorted his steed up
and down
! Within sight of the red, white and
blue of that gown
As if held there by fetters despodc
And that Goddess, I'm told, without
! turning her head,
Saw each of these purposeful
| prances,
And reflected her colors from cheeks
blushing red
Under temples of white; and her eyes
it is said,
Were bright with the blue of hel
glances.
So, that's how it comes that thu
Fourth of July
Provokes me to glad celebration.
If the Marshal and Goddess had let il

And taken no part, who the dicken.
would
Have been in the scheme of Crea

T@HESE were the ringing, closing
words of Patrick Henry. on
l. March %, 1915, as he delivered
his immortal and eloquent address In
support of the resolutions passed by the
second revolutionary convention or
Virginia, of which he was an honored
delegate.
For six months the various colonies
had been making military prepara-
tions, Lord Dunmore in Virginia wrote
in December, 1874, to the earl OF Dart
mouth:
"Every county is now arming COM
pany of men, whom they call an in
dependent company for the avowed
purpose of protecting their committees
and to be employed against the govern
ment if occasion require"

these words meaning which is not
conveyed by the reading or delivery
OF them in the ordinary way.
AFTER solemn pause, he raised
his eyes and chained hands toward
heaven, and prayed, in words and
tones which thrilled every heart, For
bid 1t, Almighty God! He then
turned toward the timid loyalists of
the house, who were quaking with ter
ror at the idea Of the consequences of
participating in proceedings which
would be visited with the penalties of
treason by the British crown: and he
slowly bent his form yet nearer to the
earth, and said: 4 know not what
course others may take,' and he ac-
cOmpanied the words with his hands
stlll crossed, while he seemed to be
weighted down with his emotion.
continuing, he lifted one hand firm
~ as II holding dagger with the
point aimed at his breast. He stood
lke Roman senator defying Caesar,
while the uncomfortable spirit of Cato
OF Utica flashed from every feature {;
and he closed the grand appeal with
the solemn words or give me death I!
which sounded with the awful cadence
OF hero's dirge, fearless of death,
ana victorious in death; and he suit
ed the action to the word by blow
upon the left breast with the right
hand, which seemed to drive the dagger
to the patriots heart"

The boy struggled to his feet, as
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 and drew forth some
garments.
His plans had been we'll made. He
did not consult the beast, which did al
