WALL STREET Nomination of Governor Cox as a Democratic candidate for President Was satisfactory to Wall Street, and , this satisfaction was refiected by a | moderate rise in stock prices. bit seems to be the consensus of ‘highest financial épinion that Gov- ernot Cox, should he be elected, will prove a capable chief executive. “With Cox and Harding, the nomi- nees of the two big parties, Wall Street feels that business has noth- ing to fear in the political outlook. Early advances in leading issues amounted to a point or more, ‘The highly speculative favomtes advancea from 2 to 3 points, Olls were strong- est as a group, but steels and equip- ments were by no mean backward. There was noticeably good buying in Vanadium, which easily regained its dividend; in Republic Steel and Bald- win. ‘Tobacco stocks were uninfiu- enced by the published report that a big combine is being formed to pur- chase the French tobacco monopoly. United Retail Stores, one of the Wie- lan stocks, which is supposed to be vitally interested, barely kept pice with the advance in the rest of the list. ¢ The market's rise was particularly noteworthy because of the fact that although slight improvement was shown by the bank statements Issued Saturday, money \for purposes of stock speculation “opened and re- newed to-day at 9 per cent. Money brokers professed to believe that there will not be a material ease in money for several weeks at least, and that time funds will continue to be practically unobtainable, But stock market traders refused to become disqouraged. Rather, thoy assert that the market has now with Stood all the bad news that can bé brought to bear, that it is in a thoroughly Mtuldated position; that most good stocks are selling much below their real value, measured py assets and carning powe. and that the market's line of 1 1° reaistance must‘and will prove to be upward.

CHAPTER XI. (Continued. ) T was quite dark ° y this time, the village being lghted : the fitful, slare of many fires, and now she saw a number of warriors ap- Proach and enter the hut Zu-tag had je a watching. A moment later they |t:@ppeared, dragging between them two captives, one of whom the girl immediately recognized as her pro- tector and the other as an English- man in the uniform of an aviato! This, then, was the reason for the two stakes, Arising quickly she placed a hand upon Zu-tag’s shoulder and pointed down Into the village. “Come,” she sald, as if she had been talking to one of her own kind, and with the word she swung lightly to the roof of the hut below. From there to the ground later she was circling the hut upon the side furthest from the fires, keep- ing in the dense shadows where there was little lkelthood of being dis- covered. She turned once to seo that Zu-tag was directly behind her and could see his huge bulk looming up in the dark, while beyond was another one of his eight. Doubtless they had all followed her and this fact gave her & greater sense of security and hope than she had before experienced. —" Pausing beside the hut next to the street, she peered cautiously about the corner. A few inches from her was the open doorway of the strip:- ture and beyond, further down the village street the blacks were con- gregating about the prisoners who were already being bound to the stakes. All eyes were centred vpon the victims and there was only the remotest chance that she and her companions would be discovered until they were close upon the blacks. She wished, however, that she might have some sort of a Weapon with which to lead the attack for she could not know, of course, for a certainty whether the great apes would follow her or not. Hoping that she might find something within the hut, slipped quickly around the corner and into the doorway and after her, one ing quickly about the interior, presently discovered a spear armed with this, she again approached the entrance. ‘Tarzan of the Apes and Lieutenans Harold Percy Smith-Oldwick were bound securely to thelr respective was but a short drop and a moment she | © | strung y one, came’ the nine bulls.

Tarzan stood straight against his stake. His face wus entirely expressionless in so as either fear or anger were con- cerned. His countenance portrayed bored indifference though both met knew that they were about to be old top.” whispered the cung Meutenant, YeRarzan turned his eyes in the di- rection of the other and smiled “Goodby,” he said. “If you want to get it over in a hurry, inhgle the smoke agd flames as rapidly as you can.” ° “Thanks,” replied the aviator and though he made a wry face, he drew himself up very straight and squared houlder ‘Phe women and children had seat- ed themselves in a wide circle about the victims while the warriors hide- ously painted, were forming slowly to commence the dance of death. Again Tarzan turned to his companion. “It you'd like to spoil their fun,” he znid, “don't make any fuss no’mat- ter how much you suffer. If you can carry on to the end without chang- {ng the expression upon your face or ‘tering. a. single sound, you will deprive them of all the pleasures of this part of the entertainment, Good- gain and good luck young Englishman made no reply but it was evident from the set ot his jaws that the Negroes ould get little enjoyment out of im. ors were circling now. Baeenuy umabo would draw first blood with his sharp spear which would be the signal for the begin- ning of the torture after a little of which the fagots would be lighted around the feet of the victims, Closer and closer danced the hide- ous chief, his yellow, sharp-filed teeth showing in the firelight between nis thick, red lips. Now bending double, how stamping furtously upon the ground, now leaping into the alr, no anced’ step by step in the narrowing circle that would presently bring nitn within spear reach of the Intended feat’ jast the spear reached out and touched the ape-man on the breast and when it came away, a little trickle of blood ran down the smooth, brown hide and almost simi: taneously there broke from the ou periphery of the expectant audien a woman's shriek which seemed signal for a series of hideous scream ings, growlings and barkings, and a | great commotion upon that side of ‘fhe circle. The victims could not sae the cause of the disturbance, Sat Tarzan did not have to see for knew by the volces of the apeg identity of the disturber He only ‘wondered what had brought them and what the purpose of the attack. for he could not believe that they nat come to rescue him, Ni from the ells of thelr dance ’ ‘of the Ape Man. to see pushing toward them through the ranks of their screaming and ter- rified people the very white irl wue had escaped them a few nights be- fore, and at her back what appeared to their surprised eyes a veritavic horde of the buge and haity forost men upon whom they looked with considerable fear and awe, Striking to right and left with his heavy fists, tearing with his great fangs, came Zu-tag, the young bull, while at his heels, emulating his ex- ample, surged his hideous apes. Quickly they came through the old men and the women and children, for straight toward Numabo and his warriors the girl led them. It sips then that they came within range of Tarzan’s vision and he saw with unmixed surprise who it was that led the apes to his rescue. To Zu-tag he shouted: big bulls while the she unbinds me, anu to Bertha Kircher: "Quick! Cut these bonds, The apes will take care of the black: Turning from her advance the girl ran to his side. She had no knife and the bonds were tied tightly but she worked quickly and coolly and Zu-tag and his apes closed with the warriors, she succeeded jn loos- ening Targan’s bonds sufficiently to permit him to extricate his own hands so that in another minute he had freed himself. “Now unbind the Englishman!" he cried and, leaping forward, ran to join Zu-tag. and his fellows in their battle against the blacks. Nu- mabo and his warriors, realizing now the relatively small numbers of the apes against them, had made a determined stand and with spears and weapons were endeavoring to overcome the invaders, Three of the apes were already down, killed or mortally wounded, when Tarzan, realizing that the battle must event- ually go against the apes unless some means could be found to break the morale of the negroes, cast about him for some means of bringing about the desired end. And sud- denly his eye lighted upon a number of Weapons which he knew would accomplish the result. A grim smile touched his lips as he snatched a vessel of boiling water from one o* the fires and hurled it full in the faces of the warriors. Screaming with terror and pain they fell back though Numabo urged them to rush forward. Scarcely had the first cauldron of water spilled its contents upon them ere Tarzan deluged them with a sec- ond, nor was there any third needed to send hem shrieking in every direc- tion to the security of their huts. By the time Tarzan had recovered his own weapons the girl had re- leased the. young Englishman and, with the six remaining apes, th three Europeans moved slowly to- ward the village gate, the aviator arming himself with a spear dis- carded by one of the scalded war- riors, ag they eagerly advanced to- ward the outer darkness. Numabo was unable to rally the now thoroughly terrified and pain- fully burned warriors so that rescued and rescuers passed out of the vil- lage into the blackness of the jungle without further interference, Tarzan strode through the jungle in silence. Beside him walked Zu- tag, the great ape, and befiind them the surviving anthropoids wick, the latter a thoroughly as- tonished and mystified Englishman. In all his life Tarzan of the Apes had been obliged to acknowledge but few obligations. He won his way through his savage world by the his God-given power to reason. To- night the greatest of all obligations zan shook his head and growled, for it had been saved by one whom he ARZAN of the Apes, returning from a successful hunt, with shoulder, paused in the branches of # great treevat the edge of a clearing encircled hut a short distance away, The ape-man shook his tousled the far-away cabin by the land- looked harbor of the great water father to which the memories and treasures of a happy childhood lured return to the haunts of his youth— to the untracked wilderness where cinete of his wild stamping grounds. There he hoped in a renewal of the haps some iheaspre of forgetfulness, Bug the little cabin and the jand- try to the west, nor did he wish them with him. The man he might have tolerated, but he,could not even con- sider the presence of the girl in the. far-off cabin, which had in a way come sacred to him through its mem- ories, without a growl of anger rising to bis lips. There remained, then, but the one way, since he could not desert them. He must move by slow and irksome marches back to the east coast, or at least to the first white settlement in that direction, He had, it is. true, contemplated leaving the giri to her fate, but that was before she had been instrumental in waving him from torture and death at the hands of the black Wamabos. He chafed under the obligation she had put upon ‘him, but no less did he acknowledge it and as he watched the two the rueful expression upon hi face was lightened by a smile as bi thought of the helplessness of them, What a puny thing, indeed, was man! How ill equipped to combat the sav- age forces of imture and of nature's jungle. Why, even the tiny balu of the tribe of lat, the great ape, was better fitted to survive than these, for a balu could at least escape the numerous creatures that menaced ite existence, while with the possible ex- ception of Kota, the tortoise, none moved 'so slowly’ ag did helpless and | feeble man. . Without him these two doubtless would starve in the midst of plenty, should they by some miracle escape the other forces’ of destruction which constantly threatened them. That morning Tarzan had brought them fruit, nuts, and plantain, and now he was ‘bringing them the’ flesh of hi kill, while the best that they might do was to fetch water from the river. Kiven now as they walked across the clearing toward the boma, they were in utter ignorance of the presence of ‘Tarzan near them. ‘They @id not icnow that his sharp eyes were watch- ing them, nor that other eyes less friendly Were glaring at them from a | clump of bushes close beside the bema entrance, They did not know , these things. but Tarzan did. No more than they, could he see the creature crouching in the conceal- ment of the foliage, yet he knew that {t was there and what it was and what its intentions precisely as well as though it had been lying in the open. A silght movement of the leaves at the top of a single stem had ap- prised him of the presence of a crea- ture there, for the movement was not that tmparted by the wind. It came from pressure at the bottom of the stem which communicates a dif- ferent movement to the leaves than does the wind passing among them, as any one who has lived his lifetime in thé jungle well knows, and the same wind that passed through the foliage of the bush brought to the ape-man’s sensitive nostrils Indisput able evidence of the fact that Sheeta, the panther, waited there for the two | returning from the river. |, They had covered half the distance to the bome entrance when Tarzan fealled to them to stop. They looked in surprise in the direction from whic his voice had come to see him drop lightly to the ground and ad- vance toward them. “Come slowly toward me,” he called to them. “Do not run, for if you run | Sheeta will charge. They did as he bid, thelr faces filled with questioning wonderment ‘What do you mean?” asked the young Englishman. “Who Is Sheeta?” But for anewer the ape-man sud. |denly hurled the carcass of Bara, the deer, to the ground and leaped quickly toward them, his eyes upon some- thing In their rear; and then it was that the two turned and learned the Wentity, of Sheets, for behind them was a devil-faced cat chargin: - idly toward them, seni Sheeta with rising anger and suspt- sion had seen the ape-man leap from the tree and approach the quarry, His life's experiences, backed by in- stinct, told him that the Tarmangant was about to rob him of his prey, and as Sheeta was hungry he had no in- tention of being thus easily depNved of the flesh he already considered bis own. Tho gtrl stifled an involuntary scream as she saw the proximity of the fanged fury bearing down upon them. She shrank close to the man and clung to him, and all unarmed ; and defenseless as he was the Eng- lishman Dushed her behind him and shielding her wfth his body stood squarely in the face of the panther’s charge. Tarzan noted the act, and though accustomed as h» was to acts of courage, hé experienced a thrill from the hopeless and futile bravery of the man. The charging panther moved rapid- ly and the distance which separated the bush in which he had concealed himself from the objects of his desire was not great.
