W. —_—— mets Lohner forsee, Copyright, 1920. br Edgar ice Burroughs, CHAPTER VII. (Continued) The ape-man felt a sense of deep admiration for this nameless adven- turer of a bygone day. What a brute of a man he must have been and what ‘a glorious tale of battle and kaleido- scopic vicissitudes of fortune must once have been locked within that whitened skull! Tarzan stooped to examine the shreds of clothing that fying purpose—so that for a time he. no longer staggered; but went for- ward steadily with head erect. Once e he found that he could not—that his strength was so far , |one that he could only crawl forward hejOn his hands and knees for a few yards and then sink down again to rent. It was during one of these frequent Periods of utter exiaustion that he heard the flap of dismal wings close above him. With his remaining strength he turned himself over ‘on his k to see Ska wheel quickiy With the sight Taraan’s mind cleared for a while “Ig the end so near a# that?” he thought. “Does Ska know that I am ;80 near gone that he dares come down and perch upon my carcass?” And even then a grim smile touched those swollen lips as into the savage mind came a sudden .thougiat—the cunning of the wild beast at bay. Closing his eyes he threw a forearm across them to protect them from Ska’'s powerful beak and then he lay very still and waited, It was restful lying there, for the sun was now obscured by clouds and Tarzan was very tired. He feared that he might sleep and something told him that if he did he would never awaken, and so he concentrated all his remaining powers upon the one thought of remaining awake. Not a muscle moved—to Sia, circling above, it became evident that the end had come—that at last he should be rewarded for his long vigil. Circling slowly he dropped clo: and closer to the dying man. Why did not Tarzan move? Had he indeed been overcome by the sleep of ex- haustion or was Ska right—had Death at last claimed that fighty body? Was that great, savage hea;t stilled forever? It is unthinkable. still lay about the bones. Every parti- cle of leather had disappeared, doubt- less eaten by Ska. No boots re- mained, if the man had worn boots, but there were several buckles scat- tered about suggesting that a great part\@®t bis trappings had been of leath@, while just beneath the bones of ‘o#e hand lay a metal cylinder about eight inches long and two inches in diameter. As Tarzan picked it up he saw that it had been heavily | TENANTS ADVISED TO ASSERT RIGHTS Leo Kenneth Mayer, counsel to the Mayor's Committee on Rent Profiteer- ing, has devised a form of letter which he 18 advising @ certain class of ten- apts to send to thelr landlords in an- .swer to notices that leases will not te renewed.

As he examined it he discovered that one end was closed with a friction cover which a little twisting. force soon loosened and remd¥ed revealing within a roll of parchment which the ape-man removed and opened dis- closing a number of Yige-yellowed sheets closely written upon in a fine band in a language which he guessed to be Spanish; but which he could not decipher. Upon the last sheet was a roughly drawn map with numerous reference points marked upon it, gll unintelli- gible to Tarzan, who, after a brief examination of the papers, returned them to their metal case, replaced the top and was about to toss the Uttle cylinder. tg the ground beside the mute remains of its former po- ssessor when some whim of curiosity unsatisfied prompted him to slip It into the quiver with his arrows, though as he did so it was with the grim thought that possibly centuries hence it might again come to the sight of man beside his own bleached bones. And then, with a parting glance at the ancient skeleton, he turned to the task of ascending the western wall of the canyon. Slowly and with many rests he dragged his weakening body upward. Again and again he slipped back from sheer exhaustion and would have fallen to the floor of the canyon but for merest chance. How long it took bim to scare that frightful wall he,could not have told, and when at last he dragged himself over the top it was to Jie weak and gasping, too spent to s or even to move a few inches further from the pertlou! of the chasm. \ ‘At last he arose, very slowly and with evident effort gaining his knees first and then staggering to his feet, yet his indomitable will was evi- denced by a sudden straightening of his shoulders and a determined shake of his head as he lurched forward on unsteady legs to take up his valiant fight for survival. Ahead he scanned the rough landscape for sign of an~- other canyon which he knew would spel} inevitable doom. The western hills rose closer now though weirdly unreal as they seemed to dance in the sunlight as though mocking him with thelr nearness at the moment that exhaustion was about'to render them forever unattainable. Beyond them he knew must be the fertile hunting grounds of which Manu had told. Even if no canyon in- tervened, his chances of surmounting even low hills seemed remote should he have the fortune to reach their base; but with another canyon hope was dead, Above him Ska still cli cled and it seemed to the ape-man that the ill-omened bird hovered ever lower and lower as though reading in that failing gait the nearing of the end and through cracked lips Tarzan growled out his defiance. Mile after mile Tarzan of the Apes put slowly behind him, borne up by sheer force of will, where a lesser man would have lain down to die and rest forever tired muscles whose every move was an agony of efforts; out at last his fueyerene became prac- tically mechanical—he staggered on with a dazed mind that reacted SPOCOND RACE—Steeplechase year-olds and uy 00; about two mili inate, . 13 to 6, even and | to 2, Spar, 142, ‘Cheyne, 15 to 1. 1d 3 to 1, second; Conte De Fo Cotman 40 to 1, 18 to 1 and & to 1, Little Nearer, *Queen iT for ra; t. aleo e fleeing, numbly to a single urge—on, on, on! The hills were now but a dim, ill-defined blur ahead. Sometimes he forgot that they were hills, and again Ska, filled with suspicions, circled warily. ‘Twh he almost alighted upon the grea, naked breast only to wheel suddenly away; but the third time his talons touched the brown skin, It was as though the contact closed an electric circuit that in- stantaneously vitalized the quiet clod that had lain motionless so long. A brown hand swept downward from the brown forehead and before Ska could raise a wing in fight he was in the clutches of his intended victim. Ska fought, but he was no match for even a dying Tarzan, and a mo- ment later the ape-man's teeth closed upon the carrion-eater. The flesh Was coarse and tough and gave off an unpleasant odor and a worse taste; but it was food and the blood was drink and Tarzan only an ape at heart and a dying ape into the bar- rxain—dying of starvation id thiret. Even mentally weakened he was the ape-man was still master of his appetite and so he ate but sparingly, saving the rest, and then, feeling that he now could do so safely, he turned upon his side and slept. Rain, beating heavily upon his body, awakened him and sitting up he cupped his hands and caught the precious drops which he transferred to his parched throat. Only a little he got at a time, but that was best. ‘The few mouthfuls of Ska that he had eaten, together with the blood ami rain water and the sleep had refreshed ‘him greatly and put new strength into his tired muscles. Now he coul@ see the hills again and they were clone and, though there was no sun, the world looked bright and cheerful, for Tarzan knew that he was saved. The bird that would lave devoured him, and the providential rain, had saved him at the ver; moment that death seemed inevitable. Again partaking of a few mouthfuls of the unsavory flesh of Ska, the vul- ture, the ape-man arose with some- thing of his old force and set out with steady gait toward the hills of Promise rising alluringly. ahead. Darkness fell before he reached them but he kept on until he felt the steeply rising ground that proclaimed his arrival at the base.of the hills proper and then he lay down and waited until morning should reveal the easiest passage to the land be- yond. The rain had ceased, but the sky still was overcast so that even his keen eyes could not” penetrate the darkness further than a few feet. And there he slept, after eating again of what remained of Ska, until the morning sun awakened him with a new sense of strength and well-being. And so at last he came through the hills out of the valley of death into a land of parklike beauty, rich in game. Below him lay a deep valley through the centre of which dense jungle vegetation marked the course of a river beyond which a primeval forest extended for miles to terminate at last at the foot of lofty, snow- capped mountains, It was land that Tarzan never had looked upon before, nor was it Ikely that the foot of another white man ever had touched it unless, possibly, in some long-gone day the adventurer whose skeleton he had found bleaching in the canyon had traversed it. CHAPTER VIII, JHREE days the ape-man spent in resting and recu- perating, eating fruits and nuts and the smaller ani- mals that were most easily bagged, and upon the fourth he set out to explore the valley and search for the great apes. Time was a negligi- it was all the same to Tarzan if he reached the west coast in a month or @ year or three years. All time was his and all Africa. His was ab- sulute freedom-—the last tie that had ‘bound him to civilization and cus- tom had been severed, He was alone but he wis not exactly lonely. The greater part of his life had been spent thus and though there was no other of his kind, he was at all times surrounded by the jungle peo- he wondered vaguely why he must go on forever through all this torture en- deavoring to overtake them—the elusive hills, Presently he hate them and there formed corals the within ‘tus half-delirious |ples for’ whom familiarity had bred |no contempt within his breast.

And so jt was that on the fourth day he set out to explore the valicy and search for his fellow-apes. He had proceeded southward for a short distance when his nostrils were @3- sa\jed by the scent of man, of Goman- gaMi, the black man. There were many of them and mixed with ther t was another—that of a she Tar- mangani. Swinging through the trees Tarzan approached the authgrs of these dis- turbing scents, He came warily from the flank, but paying no attention to the wind, for he knew that man with his dull senses could apprehend him only through his eyes or ears and then when comparatively close. Hai he been stalking Numa or Sheeta lo would have circled about untti~bis quarry was up wind from him, thus taking practically all the advantage up to the very moment that he cans within sight or hearing: but in tis stalking of the dull clod, man, he ap- , proached With almost contemptuous indifference so that all the jungie about him knew that he was passing —all but the men he stalked. From the dense foliage of a xteat tree he watched them pass—a dierep- utable mob of blacks, some in the uniform of German East Ai- rican native troops, others wearing @ single garment of the same uniform, — while many had reverted to the sim- ple dress of their forbears—approxt- mating nudity. There were many black women with them, laughing and talking as they kept pace with the men, all of whom Were armed with German rifles and equipped with Gar- man belts and ammunition. There were no white officers there, | bat it was none the less apparent to ‘Tarzan that these men were from some German native command, and he guessed that they had slain their om- cers and taken to the jungle with their women, or had gtolen some from native villages through which they must have passed. It was evident that they were putting as much ground be- tween themselves and the coast as pos- sible, and doubtless were seeking some impenetrable fastness of the vast in- terior where they might inauguratea reign of terror among the primitively armed inhabitants and by raiding, loot- ing and rape grow rich in goods and women at the expense of the district upon which they settled themselves, Between two of the black women marched a slender white girl. She was hatless and with torn and dishevelled clothing that had evidently once been a trim riding habit. Her coat was gone and her waist half torn from her body, , Occasionally and without apparent provocation one or the other of the negresses struck or pushed’ her rough» ly. Tarzan watched through half- closed eyes, His first impulse was to leap among them and bear the girl from their cruel clutches. He had recognized her immediately, and {t wag, because of this fact that he hesitated.

Perplexed, and by this time a bit awed, the blacks drew slowly away from the spot and with many back- ward glances and less laughing con- tinued upon their journey until, when about a mile beyond the spot at which their fellow had disappeared, those im the lead saw him peering from be- hind a tree at one side of the trait Jusa in front of them.
