SPEAKER GILLETT SPEAKS.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Speaker Gil lett announced this week that he was not disturbed by reports that organized labor had placed him on it's political blacklist. "The wage earners of my dis trict," he said, ''are an exceedingly in telligent, 1evel-headed set of men, whose votes are not carried in the pocket of any labor leader or capitalist, but are cast as their own judgment dictates"

Returning his revolver to Its holster.
he walked quickly to the entrance of
the tent. Parting the flaps he stepped
out and confronted the men, who were
rapidly approaching.
"The woman resisted" he said, sand
Mohammed Boyd was forced to shoot
her. She is not dead-only slightly
wounded. You may go back to your
blankets. Mohammed Boyd and will
look after the prisoner" then he
turned and re-entered the tent, and
the raiders, satisfied by this explana-
ton, gladly returned to their broken
slumbers.
AS he stood apparently listening to
the retreating footsteps of the Arabs,
though actually engrossed in thought,
Jane Clayton approached him.
"What are we do nowY she asked.
.They will kill you when they find
him."

II shall not explain It," replied Wer-

it himself-we must leave that to him.
Wait, must get you weapon and
ammunition" and Werper walked
quickly from the tent.
Very shortly ne returned with an
extra revolver and ammunition belt
strapped about his waist.
"Now come and throw yourself limp

per knelt to receive her.
"There," he said, as he rose to his
feet. Nov, let your arms, your legs
and your head hang Imply. Remem-

A thorn bona had been thrown up
about the camp, to discourage the
boljer Of the hungry carnivora. A
couple of sentries paced to and fro in
the light Of fire which they kept
buening brightly. The nearer of these
locked up in surprise as he saw Wer-
pee approaching.
"Who are your" he cried. "What
have you there?"
Lerper raised the hood of his bur-
nouse that the fellow might see his
face.

explained. "Mohammed Boyd has

There was no sign of any spoor which
aight denote that the She had been

there was any connection between the
She and the metal it seemed useless
to wait for her now that the latter had
been removed elsewhere.

was upon the morning Of the third
day that, the scent spoor Of horse and
man were waited family to his nos
trils. Instantly he altered hts course
to glide silently through the branches
in the direction from which the scent
came.
1t was not long before he came upon
a solitary horseman riding toward the
east. Instantly his eyes confirmed
what his nose had previously suspect
ed-the rider was he who had stolen
his pretty pebbles. The light of rage
flared suddenly in the gray eyes as the
ape-man dropped lower among the
branches until he moved almost di-
rectly above the unconscious Werper.
There was quick leap, and the Bel
gian felt a heavy body hurtle onto the
rump of his terror-stricken mount.
The horse, snorting, leaped forward.
Giant arms encircled the rider, and in
the twinkling of an eye he was dragged
from his saddle to find himself lying
in the narrow trail with naked white
giant kneeling upon his breast.
"The pretty pebbles !" cried the man
upon his breast. "What did you do with

CHAPTER XVII.
Tarzan Receivers His Reason.


As Tarzan let the pebbles from the
recovered pouch run through his fin
gers his thoughts returned to the pile
of yellow ingots about which the
Arabs and the Abyssinians had waged
their relentless battle.
Slowly and painfully recollection
was attempting to reassert itself, the
hurt brain was mending, as the cause
of its recent failure to function was
being slowly absorbed or removed by
the healing processes of perfect cir
culation.
Tarzan shook his head and sighed.
Why was 1t that he could not recol-
lest? At least he was sure that in
some way the pile of gold, the place
where it lay, the subtle aroma Of the
elusive She he had been pursuing, the
memory figure of the white woman,
and he himself were inextricably con-
nected by the ties of forgotten past.
If the woman belonged there what
better place to search or await her
than the very spot which his broken
recollections seemed to assign to her?
1t was worth trying. Tarzan slipped
the thong of the empty pouch over his
shoulder and started off through the
trees in the direction of the plain.
When he came upon the spot great
was his surprise and CONSERVATION, for
the yellow metal had disappeared. The
earth, trampled by the feet of horses
and men, gave no clew. 1t was as
though the ingots had evaporated into
thin air.
The ape-man was at loss to know

preposterous story; of that she was
sure.
Then she heard the voice of the
Arab as he replied to M. Frecoult.
"Are you going alone, or do you wish
me to awaken some one to accompany
your" he asked, and his tone denoted
not the least surprise that Mohammed
Boyd had suddenly discovered such re-
markably sensitive characteristics.

and he passed on and out through the
narrow opening in the bona, by which
the sentry stood.

Two Firemen Overcome
In Hurry to Check Blaze
Chief Helms, With Vacation
Two Hours OFF, Rushes Fight
i'm E,Oct R,ildinu

Deputy Fire Chief Henry j. Helms,
who is in charge of lower Manhattan,
was in a hurry to douse fire that
broke out at 10 o'clock last night in q
story loft building at 81 Walker
Street, for in two hours the deputy
chief was to start on a thirty-day vaca
ton The fire started near the stairs
on the third floor, shot up to the top
floor and mushroomed.
Come on boys" shouted Helms,
"well take line right up through the
middle of it,"
Accompanied by Lieutenant John
Kelley and seven other men of Engine
Company 81, Chief Helms fought his
way behind high pressure stream to
the top floor. By the time they had
reached their coal all nine men were
scorched, half-strangled and exhausted.
Soon after reaching the top floor Fire
men Vito Magrlno and Frederick Cop
pers fell unconscious from smoke. They
were carried out and sent to Gouvcr-
neur Hospital. The others stuck to
their posts and the fire was extin-
guished before midnight with loss
estimated at $4,000.
