After Werper had arranged the dummy in his bed
and sneaked out into the darkness behind his tent
he went directly to the hut in which Jane Clayton
was held captive. The Belgian, being of Ach-
met Zeks lieutenants, was not questioned as he en-
tered the hut which held the white woman prisoner.
Within Werper called in French and in a low
whisper Lady Greystoke! 1t Is l. M. Frecault.
Where are you?" But there response. He
CROPPED about, astonished but the place was empty!

Over the sharpened projections of the paisade the
ape-man tossed his coiled long rawhde rope. He
drew the moose taut, then ran nimbly up the wall
and dropped softly to the ground within the village.
Before him stretched a series of tents and native
huts. The business of exploring these was fraught
with danger but it appalled, Tarzan. Through
a door, window or an open chink his nose told
him

At last he found tent where the scent of the thief
was strong. But inside only a scattered pile
of blankets. TarZan took up the spoor trail. On
hands and knees he crawled. 1t led him many
places. Once into hut where odor aroused
latent memory of the past-it was the faint and
delicate perfume of woman Now having satisfied
himself that his pouch of jewels was nowhere in
the village, the ape man followed the spoor across
the clearing, the palisade and out into the

Perched in the branches of great tree, Tarzan
gazed down upon the coorful life within the in
closure. He knew his mighty powers; equally he
realized his limitations Here were too many for
him to cope with. He must resort to the trickery
and stealth of the wild beast, if he was to sue
coed. He saw white-robed figures and half-naked
blacks, but not once did he who resembed
the stealer of the gems. Patiently he waited until
the streets were deserted.

Frescoes and Furniture
Found in Old Pomneii

Excavations at POmpeii have brought
to light several important objects. A
three-legged marble table, the top. Of
which is missing, Is one particularly
interesting piece, Students have adj
vanced the theory that this table was
at one time the property of Casca, one
of the murderers Of julius Caesar.
The three legs are each in the form
of lions leg, surmounted by lions
head and on the top of each head is a
square block, on which the actual
table top rested. In fact, on the sur
face of each Of the three resting
blocks is carved the word "Casca."
This enterprising Casca used to have
a house in Pompeii, although students
present at the time of the discovery
are not certain that his was the house
in front of which the table was found.
Yet it is not improbable, noted archie
ologists say, that the table was pur-
chased by some other patrician living
at Pompeil and brought there from
Rome. Delightful frescoes adjoining
the interior of the house have kept
their colors so wildly that today WIS.,
itors may admire, for instance, on one
side of a doorway Narcissus seated
and at the other side representation
Of Pyramus and Thisbe.

'Federals Gathered in
Foes Last Silk Dress

Captive balloons for observation
purposes were used chiefly by the
Union army during the first two years
OF the Civil war. Gen. Fitzjohn Porter
made over a hundred ascensions.
Count Won Zeppelin was a balloon
observer with the Union army. A Con-
federate general writing in Battles
and Leaders of the Civil War" refers
to the poverty which denied balloons
to that side, except one patchwork
ship made from silk dresses gathered
up. ave had no gas except in Rich
mond and 1t was the custom to In
fate the balloon there, tie 1t securely
to an engine and. run it down the
York River railroad to any point at
which we desired to send 1t up. One
day 1t was on a steamer down the
James when the tide went out and
left vessel and balloon high and dry
on bar. The Federals gathered 1t in
and with 1t the last silk dress in the
Confederacy." The Zouave regiments
that served in that war wore the bril-
liant uniform of the French colonials
with fez, baggy trousers and a pre-
dominance of red.

Characters That Live
in Worlds Literature

Frequently in the worlds literature
a character wholly imaginary becomes
so we'll known as to give his name
to the language. Such a character
is Rodomont (the italian significance
of the name being "Nle who rolls
away mountains"), from which, &C.
cording to Webster's New Interna-
tional dictionary, we get our useful
word rodomontade, which means
swain Boosting, empty buster or
Wanting, rant"
Rodomont is Moorish hero and
warrior-brave. boastful, and fierce.
He figures prominently as the king
of Algiers in the works of two Ital-
ian poets of the Fifteenth century,
namely, in the Orlando Innamorato"
(Enamored) of Boiardo and in the
"Orlando Furioso" (Mad) of Ariosto
parallel example from English
literature is BraggadOcehio, the per-
sonifcation of vain boasting in Ed
mund Sponsors famous masterpiece,
"The Faerie Queene," from which
comes the expressive word bragga-
docio, which means empty Boosting,
mere brag, pretension."
