Tarzan hung about six feet above the trail,
caught securely. The moose imprisoned his
arms between his elbows and wrists. And to
add to mis- discomfort and helpleSsness he
swung head downward, spinning dizzily like
human plumb-bob He tried to draw an arm
free from the encircling moose so that he might
reach his hunting knife and free himself But
the weight of his body constantly drew the moose
more tightly about him and every effort merely
strengthened the grip Of the rawhide, pressing
deep into his flesh

Of creature would come hoping that anyway
they would appear before he was devoured by
some beast Of prey. And even as such thoughts
filed his mind his ears caught the sound of
approaching footsteps But they were not the
steps of men. That which was coming was
hoofed animal Therefore he had little reason
to fear it, unless it proved to be some strange
Pellucidarian creature with characteristics IN

Then came scent that belonged to the ape
mans hereditary enemy, the cat family. Yet
this scent spoor was one he had never encoun-
tered before It was not that of Numa the lion,
or Sheeta the leopard. He could hear its al
most silent approach through the underbrush.
1t was coming down trail, 1ureG either by his
presence or that Of the beast whose approach
Tarzan had been awaiting The latter came
into view first. 1t was the thag Of Pelluci-
dar, beast whose like had long since been
extinct upon thF earth.

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN

TINE cab turned into the drive
Il before the imposing Travers
residence and halted. Norma got
out and looked up at the building.
Wait for you, Miss?" asked the
driver.
The girl hesitated. Then Eyes, "
she said, you'd better wait. She
started slowly toward the entrance.
The handsome door, set in it's arch
of stone, seemed forbidding.
Norma pressed the bell and wait
ed. There was no answer and she
touched the electric button a second
time.
Almost at that moment Tomp-
kins' head appeared in the open
doorway. Norma said, "Is Mr..
Travers-?"
There was no indication that the
butler recognized her. His head
inclined slightly. "Mr. Travers is
not in, Miss" Tompkins said. He
would have closed the door, but the
girl suddenly moved forward, put
her hand out.
"Then Mrs. TraversP she ex-
claimed. ITS Important I've got
to see her-Ive got to!" O.
Mrs. Travers is not at home
either. They left this morning for
Mani. There's no one here now.
There's no one you can sec"
But l must!"
"I'm sorry, miss. There's no one
here. Mr.. and Mrs. Travers will be
gone for several weeks"
Gone? How could they? Why
1t was only last night"
"They left this morning." Tomp-
kins repeated imperturbably. His
voice and manner were as aloof as
though he were announcing guests
at reception. 81 assure you, miss,
there's no one here. No one but
the servants"
"Oh, but, Tompkins-" The words
broke off in low cry. Then,
"Tompkins," the girl went on, "do
you know when Mark is coming
back?"
I'm sorry, miss. haven't heard"
"You don't know when his par
ents expect him?"
I'm sorry. I couldn't say"
Norma turned away. Almost i'm
mediately she looked back to see
the great door shut. She took a
step forward, changed her mind,
and walked slowly to the taxicab.
TAKE me back" she said to the
driver. "where we started from"
TT was nearly when Chris
i arrived. Norma, wearing a kimo-
no, was lying on the bed with a
blanket half-covering her.
Hello, lamb" Chris said cheer

But that won't dol Say-are you
trying to starve yourself? You've
got to eat, don't you know that?
You've got to eat if you're going to
hold your job, young lady"
There was a pause. Norma said,
Il suppose I'll have to tell Mr..
Stuart"
"He knows already. About the
divorce, mean. He was awfully
nice, Norma. Said you could take a
few days rest if the doctor thinks
you should. BY the way, I made

SEKYRA TOPPLES
 RETzLAFF FROM
 FISTIC PEDESTAL
BY DIXON STEWART

New York, Sept. 2.-UP) - Charley Retzlaff has been toppled from the pedestal to which he had been elevated as "the best young heavyweight in the game" but if the testimony of his conqueror, Joe Sekyra, is to be accepted the Du- luth dynamiter must not be count ed entirely out of the picture.
 Sekyra, whose decisive ten-round victofy over Retzlaff at Greensboro stadium last night provided the most startling upset of the season, had nothing but praise for his op- ponent.
 Hes great hitter" said Sekyra, "and I'm not sure but what Max Schmeling was right when he picked Retzlaff as the most pros- Ipectively dangerous contender for his title. He hits hard enough to stop any fighter in the world.
 That sounds like I'm boosting about my own boxing ability but when you consider that I was good enough to go ten rounds with Young Stribling and an equal num- Der with Schmelnig gefore he won the title. you'll have to admit know my way around"

HARTY ERRATIC AS | WEBBERS TRIUMPH

Following a week of disappofnt- ment over the failure of securing hines to play their aggregation, the Web Shop boys finally swung into action against Fearnots last night at the Athletic Field. The final score read 8 to 5, in favor of the Webbers, the game being halted at the close of the sixth stanza due to darkness. With no pitchers avail. able, Paul Dente took the mound for the Webbers and held the hard hitting Fearnots to six scattered hits, and but for the costly mis- plays by Jim "Corncracker" liar ty, at second base Dente would have scored a shutout. With the score 5 to 4 in favor of the Cavo- men, the Webbers came back strong to score runs in their half of the fifth inning, when Langlois crashed out a home run to tie tho count 5 all, and when Fellon reached first on an error went to second on a passed ball, scored with what proved to be the win ming run, when Paul Dente slashed out a single into centerfeld.
