Jerome knew his problem was
less one of ethics than Of kind
ness, fair play, sportsmanlineSS.
It was not a question Of con-
ventionality, propriety, ETC., but
of Linda's future welfare. If
there had been some authority
there to marry them it would
have made no difference. He
was not in a position to pro-
vide for her needs, once they
got away from that place, nor
could she provide for herself.
For the moment he was not
only in honor but in kindness
bound to protect her, from
danger and from sorrow; from
gorillas and from himself.
His determination would have
stood fast, but it was helped by
a tremendous roar from the
gloom outside, and the sudden
crashing of underbrush. Jerome
sprang to the door, to close it.
But what sounded like a furi-
Gus and determined pursuit,
first in the cracking under
brush and then through the
trees, was rapidly distancing
itself.
He closed the door and turned.

"You mean he didn't want his

That's how 1t looks to me.
These apes have had the keep

They know they haven't any

They couldn't resist giving us

the sugar and syrup. But the
plantation is still taboo in their
simian minds"
THAT makes sense" she
admitted. For the Racketeer
to trespass, then beat his chest
and boast about it, was just
more than his Old Papa could
bear. Well, let's hope he runs
him ragged, then catches him
and chokes the life out of him."
He'd be apt to do the last if
he could manage the first. Let's
leave it to him."
They ate their supper. Jerome
said presently: "I'll have to
change my outline of the Pro-
feSsor's personality"
