They moved,in comfort and In safe- ty, surrounded by their escort of Ho-don and Waz-don. | §n the minds of many there was doubdtiess a question as to how the | three would cross the great morass, | but least of all wae Tarzan wor- | ried by the problem. In the course lof hig life he had been confronted | by many obstacles, only to learn that |he who will may always pass. In | his mind turked an easy solution of | the passage, but it was one which depended wholly upon chance. It was the morning of the last day that, as they were breaking camp to take up the march, a deep bellow thundered from a nearby \grove, The ape-man smiled. ‘The chance had come, Fittingly then uid the Dor-ul-Otho and his mate |and their son depart from unmapped | Pal-ul-don, | He still carried the spear that | Jane had made, which he had prized ‘40 highly because it was her handi- work that he had caused a search to be made for it thru the temple in A-lur after bis release, and it had been found and brought to him. He |had told her laughingly that it | should have the place of honor above their hearth as the ancient flintlock lof her Puritan grandsire had held ‘a similar place of honor above the fireplace of Professor Porter, her father. At the sound of the bellowing the Ho-don warriors, some of whom had accompanied ‘Tarzan from Ja-don's camp to Ja-lur, looked questioningly at the ape-man, while Om-at's Waz- don looked for trees, since the gryt was the one creature of Pal-ul-don which might not be safely encoun. tered even by a great multitude of warriors, Its tough, armored hide was impregnable to their knife thrusts, while their thrown clubs ratticd from it as futllely as if hurled at the rocky shoulder of Pas tar-ul-ved. “Wait,” anid the apeman, and with his spear in hand he advanced toward the «ryf, voicing the weird vry of the Torodon. The bellowing ceased and turned to low rumblings and presently the huge beast ap- peared. What followed was but a repetition of the ape-man’s previous experience with these huge and fo- rocious creatures. And so it was that Jane and Kor- ak and Tarzan rode thru the morass that hems Pal-ul-don, upon the back of a prehistoric triceratops, while the lesser reptiles of the swamp fled hissing in terror. Upon the oppo- site shore they turned and called back their farewells to Ta-den and Om-at and the brave warriors they had learned to admire and respect. And then Tarzan urged their titanic mount onward toward the north, abandoning him only when he was assured that the Waz-don and the Ho-don had had time to reach a point of comparative safety among the craggy ravines of the foothills, Turning the beast's head again toward Palul-don the three dis- mounted and a sharp blow upon the thick hide sent the creature lumber- ing majestically back in the direc: tion of its native haunts. For a time they stood looking back upon the land they had just quit—the land of Tor-o-don and gryf; of ja and Jato; of Wazdon and Hodon; a primitive land of terror and sudden death and peace and beauty; a land that they all had learned to love. And then they turned once more toward the north, and with light hearts and brave hearts took up their long journey toward the land that is best of all—-homa THE END waiting for them. “Did you catch Old Whizzy Tor nado?’ they asked, noticing how tired the Fairy Weatherman looked, Sprinkle-Blow shook his hend. “No,” he said, “the old fellow went too fast for me, My magic umbrella can only go & hupdred miles an hour, and he can go about two hundred. But he knew that I was after him, so he hurried across 40 states and a dozen rivers and two oceang and some mountains to his home in the Cave of the Winds at the End of the Earth, and slammed hig door. But I don't think he'll come out again for awhile, so the best thing we can do is to hunt up all these } lost creatures and take them home.” The three of them got busy.

What right had I to sympathize with another woman's husband? My sleep that night was troubled by the sound of @ tired voice and the vision of a yellow-haired woman who once was there and then sud- donty vanished, leaving behind her a laugh which tinkled emptlly. I awakened almost before tt was light, with the sound of that tired voice in my ears. Just then I hated Lila Ames, She was doing just what I would have done to Tom, thought; only she was lovelier than I and had greater means at her dis- posal—so I supposed she was making a better job, of it than I could have. I wondered why the sound of that tired voice didn’t awaken her to ber own loss. Perhaps because her heart was not tuned to catch its tiredness —for it seems that unless we love them beyond expression the people with whom we live day in and day out are the ones we know the least bout. Their very nearness prevents (Copyright 1921 by Seattle Star) us from taking the trouble to know why they are getting prematurely gray, why they are losing their buoy- jancy and why their voice sounds tired. But of the two, Lila Ames was losing the most. Her husband was missing what she should have been jto him. But Lila was feeding upon an artificial diet and thus robbing herself of the ability to appreciate the genuine. I lagged about my dressing. At half past eight, just as IT was going out for breakfast, the tele- phone rang. “I didn’t want to get you from bed, but I'd like to see you for a minute to make some explanations and apologies." Philip Ames’ voice was serious, “I'm afraid I don't want to hear either explanations or apologies this morning,” I said. “You're not angry, are you?” with |eoncern, “I haven't any reason to be, have iI, Mr. Ames?” I said. { “You're not going to be nasty “I was hungry as a wolf, but I ate very little of the meat and gravy, mashed potatoes and fluffy ‘hot biscuits which were of- fered me, keeping my eyes and my mind firmly on the glory of the desert, “There it was, a double decker, with a rich brown crust of flaky pastry and little rivers of the ruby-colored juice running down Its sides. “Moreover, it was extremely large, big enough to look like plenty even to a hungry small mother, she said quietly, ‘Yea, I knew it would be like that I've eaten shortcake there. That ts why I didn’t want you to go, ““Go to bed, George, and re member that you were a guest in that house. Never mention that to anyone. If you can't say a nice thing about a neighbor or friend, say nothing.’ “And it is to point that advice of mother’s that I tell the story now for the first time, more than boy. “1 waited with what patience 50 years after it happened.” BERSED WHEN A WOMAN TELLS By RUTH AGNES ABELING CHAPTER X—PHILIP AMES MAKES AN APOLOGY about it, are you?” “Just what are you talking about?” I parried. “Well, if you don’t know, my dear,” all of his usual suavity had returned, “let me tell you about it— only I should have to see you to tell you; it would be so much more im- pressive, don’t you know.” “I don't want to be impressed this | morning!" My voice was ragged.

His voice was so soft that if was @ caress. “Miss Sorensen!—I was waiting for your" Mrs. Ames had opened the door of her sitting room. Had she seen? Would she suspect more than she had seen? How much did she care for Philip Ames!
