WINGED that he slept. Tarzan withdrew
his hunting knife and commenced to
dig hole in the ground before him.
With the blade he loosened up the
earth, and with his hands he scooped
1t out until he had eXcavated little
cavity few inches in diameter, and
five or six inches in depth. Into this
he placed the pouch of jewels. Wer-
per almost forgot to breathe after the
fashion of sleeper as he saw what
the ape-man was doing-he scarce re-
pressed an ejaculation of satisfaction.
Tarzan became suddenly rigid as
his keen ears noted the cessation or
the regular inspirations and expira-
lions of his companion. His narrowed
eyes bored straight down upon the
Belgian. Werper felt that he was
lost-he must risk all on his ability to
carry on the deception. He sighed,
threw both arms outward, and turned
over on his back mumbing as though
in the throes of bad dream. A mo-
ment later he resumed the regular
breathing.
Now he could not watch TarZan. but
he was sure that the man sat for a
long time looking at him. Then, faint
ly, Werper heard the others hands
scraping dirt. and later patting 1t
down. He knew then that the jewels
were buried.
1t was an hour before Werper moved
again, then he rolled over facing Tar
Fan and opened his eyes. The ape
man slept. BY reaching out his hand
Werper could touch the spot where the
pouch was buried.
For long time he lay watching and
listening. He moved about, making
more noise than necessary, yet Tar
Fan did not awaken. He drew the sac
rificial knife from his belt and plunged
it into the ground. Tarzan did not
move. Cautiously the Belgian pushed
the blade downward through the loose
earth above the pouch. He felt the
point touch the soft, tough fabric of
the leather. Then he pried down upon
the handle. Slowly the little mound
of loose earth rose and parted. An
instant later corner of the pouch
came into view. Werper pulled it from
its hiding place and tucked it in his
shirt. Then he refilled the hole and
pressed the dirt carefully down as it
had been before.
Greed had prompted him to act. the
discovery of which by his companion
could lead only to the most frightful
consequences for Werper. Already he
could almost feel those strong, white
fangs burying themselves in his neck.
He shuddered. Far out across the
plain leopard screamed, and in the
dense reeds behind him some great
beast moved on padded feet.
Werper feared these providers of
the night; but infinitely more he
feared the just wrath of the human
beast sleeping at his side. With ut
most caution the Belgian arose. Tar
zan did not move. Werper took few
steps toward the plain and the dis
tant forest to the northwest, then he
paused and fingered the hilt of the
long knife in his belt. He turned and
looked down upon the sleeper.
"Why not?' he unused. "Then l
should be safe"
He returned and bent above the ape
man. Clutched tightly in his hand
was the sacrificial knife of the high
priestess of the Flaming God!

to paint a duck on a long board at
the end of an express train running

gunner blaze away at the painted duck

check up the speed of the painted bird,
with the ,'1ead" necessary to give the
charge to hit the wild duck alleged to

CHAPTER Vli.-Continued.

In single file behind him there fol-
lowed, one after another, near fifty
others. each burdened with two dull
yellow ingots dashed upon his back,
Werper recognized the party immedi-
ately as that which had accompanied
Tarzan on his journey to Opar. He
glanced at the ape-man; but in the

ave will follow and STAY Them" he
said.
"Why?" asked the Belgian.
"They are black" explained Tar
aan. ut was black who killed Kala.
They are the enemies of the Man
ganis."
Werper did not relish the idea of
engaging in battle with Basuli and
his fierce fighting men. And, again,
he had welcomed the sight of them
returning toward the Greystoke bun
galow, for he had begun to have
doubts as to his ability to retrace his
steps to the Waziri country. Tarzan,
he knew, had not the remotest idea
of whittier they were going. By keep
ing at safe distance behind the laden
warriors they would have no difficulty
In following them home.
He argued with the ape-man, there
fore, against the latter's desire to ex-
terminate the blacks, and at last he
prevailed upon Tarzan to follow them
in peace, saying he was sure they
would lead them out of the forest into
a rich country, teemlng with game.
1t was many marches from Opar
to the Waziri country; but at last
came the hour when Tarzan and the
Belgian, following the trail of the war
riors, topped the last rise, and saw
before them the broad WaZiri plain,
the winding river and the distant for
ests to the north and west.
A mile or more ahead of them the
line of warriors was creeping like a
giant caterpillar through the tall
grasses of the plain. TarZan looked
out across the familiar vista with NO
faintest CLEAN of recognition in his

eyes. He did not look in the direc-
ton of his bungalow. Werper, how
ever, did. A puzzled expression en-
tered the Belgian's eyes. He shaded
them with his palms and gazed long
and earnestly toward the spot where
the bungalow had stood. He could
not credit the testimony of his eyes
there was no bungalow-no barns-no
outhouses. The corrals, the haystacks
all were gone. What could it mean?
And then slowly there filtered into
Werper's consciousness an eXplana-
ton of the havoc that had been
wrought in that peaceful valley since
last his eyes rested upon it-Achmet
Eek had been therel
Basuli and his warriors had noted
the devastation the moment they had
come in sight of the farm. Now they
hastened on toward 1t talking excit-
edly among themselves in animated
speculation upon the cause and mean
ing of the catastrophe.
When at last they crossed the tram
pled garden and stood before the
barred ruins of their masters bun
;alow, their greatest fears became
onvictions in the light of the evil
ience about them.

DID AMERICAN TROOPS MUTINY?

Col. Raymond Robins of Chicago
former member of the American Red
Cross mission to Russia, who is lectur-
ing on soviet Russia, is the center of
controversy regarding the conduct of
American troops in Russia. At Madison,
Wis, a group of ex-soldiers, who had
served at Archangel, challenged
Robins statement that, as an indirect
result Of the allies policy in failing to
recognize the bolshevik government,
American soldiers in Russia had
mutinied.

for that statement" declared Capt.
John Commons, son of Prof. John r.

BUSINESS WOMErI
MAY ORGANIZE
Will Meet in Chamber of Commerce
Rooms Tuesday Evening-Large
Attendance Hoped for

A meeting looking to the possible
formation of a club of business and pro-
fessional women of Brattleboro, which
may be affiliated with the New England
and national organizations, will be held
at 100 o'clock Tuesday evening in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms.
1t has been felt for some time by sew
eral young women employed in offices
and places of business that some such
organization would be a benefit in many
ways and many have expressed the desire
that permanent organization of the
women of the town should grow out of
the Patriotic League which existed
during the war.
Several of those interested in the pro
iect have made arrangements for the
meeting Tuesday night, and it is hoped
by them that many of the employed
women of the town VIII show their inter
est by their presence and participation
in the discussion. 1t j. expected that a
copy of the constitution of one of the
clubs in Springfield, Mass, viii be avail
lble for consideration, as well as other
information about which questions are
likely to arise.
