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 it that he could not recol-
lect? 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 a 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
where to turn or what next to do
There was no sign of any spoor which
might denote that the She had been
here. The metal was gone, and if
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.
For two days he roamed about, kill
ing, eating, drinking and sleeping
wherever inclination and the means to
indulge it occurred simultaneously. 1t
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 his course
to glide silently through the branches
in the direction from which the scent
came.
1t was not long before he came upon
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
fiared 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 a quick leap. and the Bel
gian felt 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 eve he was dragged
from his saddle to find himself lying
in the narrow trail with a naked white
giant kneeling upon his breast.
THE pretty pebbles!" cried the man
upon his breast. "What did you do with
the pretty pebbles-with Tarzan's
pretty pebblesT"
The fingers relaxed to permit of a
reply. For some time Werper could
only choke and cough-at last he re-
gained the powers of speech.

peated Tarzan. Then for momen
he was silent. Presently his hand went
falteringly to his forehead, an express
sion of wonderment filed his eyes
of wonderment and sudden under
standing. The ape-man relinquished
his grasp upon the throat of the Bel
gian, and leaped to his feet.

Suddenly he turned toward Werper.

DRUGS EXCITE YOUR
KIDNEYS, USE SALTS
II Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers, Drink Lots of
Water.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to-
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots Of water-you can't drink
too much also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean
and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to-
neutralize the acids in urine so IL no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot in
jure: makes a delightful effervesnent-
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.

SWEET, OF THE NEW YORK ASSEMBLY

Thaddeus C. Sweet, speaker of
the New York assembly and the man
responsible for the suspension and
trial" of the five Socialist members,
entered a long defense of his attitude
at a New York city public banquet
Mr.. Sweet not only condemned
the Socialists and defended the action
of the assembly, but he referred to
the action of Charles E. Hughes in
the early stages of the case as 'hasty
and ilI-advised" He said there was
no room in this country for traitors"
and that he could find no difference
between the Socialist party and the
Communist party, and referred to the
Socialists as these five undesirables."
He also contended that the proceed
ings at Albany had been misrepre-
scented to the people. Speaker Sweet
in part said:

HOWE CONSIDERS MEXICO HOPELESS

Conditions in Mexico were de-
scribed as intolerable by Cen Robert
Lee Howe, commander Of the FL Paso
district, when he testified before the
senate subcommittee investigating the
Mexican situation. He expressed
opinion that affairs in that country
had grown steadily worse in the last
ten years, and that, left solely in the
control of the Mexicans," the future
Of that country was hopeless" He
said, among other things:
'"The intolerable conditions which
have covered a period of nearly ten
years have continually grown worse
and 1 am convinced the apex of shame
fulness and horror as viewed from the
American conception of justice and
decency was reached last fall, con-
dition which still exists.

this ten years of critical time has

MRS. MEREDITH IN CAPITAL SOCIETY

Mrs. E. T. Meredith, wife of the
newly appointed secretary Of agricul-
ture, has taken her place in the social
functions which in Washington are
regulated with more precision than
the proceedings Of congress. Slender,
and in appearance incredibly young to
be the mother of a married daughter.
Mrs. Meredith Is taking her part in
the life of the capital with an interest
and pleasure as frank as it is engag-
ing. She has charming personality,
dresses smartly and in perfect taste,
and takes warm interest in many
things outside the social routine,
though at present her days are rather
too crowded to admit of much time
being given to them.
The official round is not a new ex
perience to Mrs. Meredith, who be-
came familiar with it during her pre-
vious residence here, when her hus-
band was a member Of the board of
excess profits advisers.

Common garden sage brewed into a

beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a reveIa-
ton If your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
oft and luxuriant.

Bob's Insanity" Is Accepted by
Everyone at the Hacienda as Real
Bob's imitation of his former con-
dition of shell-shock proved easy
for time-because Certeis and Don
Manuel were seldom at the hacienda.
We soon knew the reason for their
absence. Bob had a fine knowledge
of Spanish. Part of his scheme was
- to pretend to a very limited famill-
arity with that language.
This ignorance combined with his
reputation as a harmless lunatic, en-
abied him to oveF-hear the conversa-
tions of those about him-and remain
unsuspected.
Certeis should have known that
Bob's tongue was fluent in many Ian
guages, but like many another clever
intriguer, Certeis forgot most valu-
able bit of information at the most
important crisis of his career. Or
was Certeis, perhaps, so confident of
his own power and so sure of his
prey that he ceased to worry about
minor details?
At any rate, Bob's stupidity was
accepted by everyone in the hacien-
da from Certeis and Dame Camilla
down to the sly little maid who wait
ed upvn me. Thus Bob heard much
he was not supposed to understand.

citing Mexico to harass the United

All this we learned from the eX-

Next fall and winter, it is stated,

With no government regulations
