THERE came the sound Of a ca
ir, The driveway

INHERE came t1e SOUND OF a car
Il in the driveway.
Arthur Knight, Tony and Judith
we're all in the living room-Ar-
thur and Tony sitting on the dav-
export, with the mellow glowing
bridge lamp shooting highlightS
into the girls dark curls. Judith,
at the coffee table, was pouring the
fragrant beverage into three fra
gle cups.
She set down the silver coffee pot.
who's coming?" she asked. Il
didn't know anyone was expected.
I hate to be seen this way"
Judith still was in the simple
black frock she had worn during
the afternoon. There had been no
time TO change before dinner.
She had not even glanced into a
mirror since entering the house.
The contrast between her somber
costume and Tony's frivolous chif-
fon was all in the younger girls
favor.
Arthur Knight frowned.
II wasn't expecting anyone to-
night" he said.
"Ill find out who it Isl" she said.
Maybe Mr.. Hunters come again.
The senior member of the firm Of
Hunter Brothers and several other
OF Knights business associates had
uaid him brief visits. Arthur
knight still was weak. The slight
est unexpected happening disturbed

Presently he saw that Sheeta was about to
forestall him, robbing him of the fruits Of his
just hate. He called sharply to the panther,
who halted an instant. At that the Russian.
galvanized into action turned and fled toward
the bridge. After him bounced Sheeta, the
panther, unmindfui of his masters warning
voice. Tarzan was about to leap after the two
when he felt touch upon his arm, and turning
he found Jane at his elbow.

Tarzan turned again toward the Russian.
chagrined that he should have to forego the
pleasure of personal revenge-unless the man
should escape Sheeta But as he looked he saw
no hope Of that. The fellow had retreated to
the end of the ships bridge, where he stood
shaking and wide-eyed, facing the beast that
moved slowly toward him, crawling and utter
ing frightful cries.

Rokoff's stlrieks for help filled the air.
Trembling, he stood as one paralyZed before the
frightful death that was creeping upon him.
Tarzan took step toward the Russian, his
brsin burning With a raging fire of vengeance.
At last he had the murderer Of his son at his
mercy. His was the right to avenge. This time
no one should stay him. Ominous as a beast
of prey, his fingers clenching systematically, he
approached.

do not leave me-" she whispered, I'm
afraid" Tarzan glanced behind her. All about
were the hideous apes of Akut. Some even were
approaching the young woman with barred fangs
and menacing cultural warnings. The ape-man
warned them back. He had forgotten that these
we're but beasts, unable to tell his friends from
ices. Their savage natures were reused By the
battle with the sailors and all flesh now was
meat to them.

HAVE RATE CONTROVERSY.
Taxicab Chauffeurs Union to Consider
Fees Paid to Drivers.

Fees Ra10 70 Dr1VeFSs
The stand Of the local Chauffeurs'
Union, composed mainly Of operators of
meter cabs in the District, with refer
ence to the rate controversy precipi-
tated by the establishment of 35-cent
cab companies mot interested" in their
drivers belonging to the union, will be
definitely settled at a meeting of the
union drivers tonight at 500 H street,
e. G. Rayford, business agent Of the
union, tntimated today.
The union drivers also are expected
to place the union on q definite stand
left the meter companies, which employ
only union drivers, to operate the 35-
cent cabs.
Approximately so union cab drivers
who have left the meter companies to
drive for the 35-cent companies have
been put on the unions blacklist" and
they have been threatened with fine
of $25 or loss Of union membership II
they do not return to the meter
companies.
The point at issue between the 35-
cent companies and the union, Rayford
points out, is the rate paid by the 35-
cen companieS-30 per cent OF the fares
to the driver, against 40 per cent, the
union rates, paid meter cab drivers
The 35-cent cab companies, Rayford re-
ports, have held that they cannot oper-
ate at a profit and pay their drivers &C
per cent of the fares.
Operators of the 35-cent cabs report
they are leaving the matter OF union
membership entirely up to their drivers
are taking no stand on the matter, and
are not interested in the union provi-
sions for supplying drivers on call.
