CHAPTER III.Exit Paulvitch.

As the trainer, vith raised lash, hes­itated ao Instant at the entrance to the box where the boy and the ape confronted him, a tall, broad-shoul­dered man pushed past him and en­tered. As his eyes fell upon the new­comer a slight flush mounted the boy’a cheeks.

“Father!” he exclaimed.The ape gave one look at the Eng­

The Man 8topped as Though Turned te Stone. “Akut!" He Cried.

TDe Deast moved sullenly to tne trainer’s side. The latter, at John Oayton’s request, told where they might be found. Tarzan turned toward his son.

“Come !” he said, and the two left the theater. Neither spoke for several min­utes after they had entered the limou­sine. It was the boy who broke the silence.

“The ape knew you,” he said, “and you spoke together in the ape’s tongue. How did the ape know you, and how did you learn his language?”

And then, briefly and for the first time, Tarzan of the Apes told his son of his early lift1—of his birth in the jungle, of tiie death of his parents and of how Kala, the great she ape, had suckled and raised him from infancy almost to manhood.

He told him, too, of the dangers and the horrors of the jungle—of the great beasts that stalked one by day and by night ; of the periods of drought and of the cataclysmic rains; of hunger, of cold, of Intense heat, of nakedness and fear and suffering.

He told him of all those things that seem most horrible to the creature of civilization in the hope thut the knowl­edge of them might expunge from the lad’s mind any inherent desire for the jungle. Yet they were the very things that made the memory of the jungle what it was to Tarzan—that made up

; the composite jungle life he loved.And in the telling be forgot one

thing—the principal thing—that tho boy at his side, listening so eagerly, was the son of Tarzan of the Apes.

After the boy had been tucked away to bed John Clayton told his wife of the events of the evening and that he had at last acquainted the boy with the facts of his jnngle life. The mother, who had long foreseen that her son must some time know of those frightful years during which his father had roamed the jungle, a naked, sav­age beast of prey, shook her head, hop­ing against hope that the lure she knew was still strong In the father’s breast had not been transmitted to bis son.

Tarzan visited Akut the following day, but though Jack begged to be al­lowed to accompany him, he was re­fused. This time Tarzan saw the pock­marked old owner of the ape, whom he did not recognize as the wily Paul­vitch of former days. Tarzan, influ­enced by Akut’s pleadings, broached the question of the ape’s purchase, but Paulvitch would not name any pria., saying that he would consider the mat­ter.

When Tarzan returned home Jack was all excitement to bear the details of his visit, and finally suggested that his father buy the ape and bring it home Lady Greystroke was horrified at the suggestion.

The boy was insistent Tarzan ex­

man, his eyes going wide with aston­ishment, stopped as though turned ta atone

“Akut !” he cried.The boy looked, bewildered, from the plained that he had wished to purchase to escape.

Pegged them to onhg tue ape mnue m«, he might have him f<jr a playfellow. Tarzan wquldipot have been averse to this plan, but Lady Greystoke was hor­rified at the very thought of it.

Jack pleaded with his mother, but all unavailing!}-. She was obdur.it«. and at last the lad appealed to acquiesce in his mother’s decision iliat the ape must be returned to Africa and tin* boy to school, from which he had been ab­sent upon a vacation.

He did not attempt to visit i'aiil- vitch’s room again that day, hut in­stead busied himself in other ways. II.■ had always been well supplied with money, so that when necessity demand­ed he had no difficulty in collecting several hundred pounds.

Some of this money he invested in various strange purchases, which he managed to smuggle iuto the house undetected when he returned late in the afternoon.

The next morning, after giving his father time to precede him and con­clude his business with Paulvitch, the lad hastened to the Russian’s room. Knowing nothing of the man’s true character, the boy dared not take him fully into his confidence for fear that the old fellow would not only refuse him aid, but would report the whole affair to his father.

Instead, he simply asked permission to take Ajax to Dover. He explained that it would relieve the old man of a tiresome journey, as well as placing a number ol’ pounds in his pocket, for the led purposed paying the Russian well.

“You see,” he went on, “there will be no danger of detection, since I am supposed to be leaving on an after­noon train for school. Instead I will come here alter they’ve left me on the train. Then I can take Ajax to Dover, you see, und arrive at school only a i day late. No one will be the wiser, do | harm will be done, and I shall have j had an extra day with Ajax before I i lose him forever.” j

That afternoon Lord and Lady Grey­stoke bade their son good-bye and saw | him safely settled in a first class com­partment of the railway carriage that would set him down at school in a few hours. No sooner had they left him, however, than he gathered his bags together, descended from the compart­ment and sought a cab stand outside the station. Here he engaged a cabby to take him to the Russian's address.

It was dusk when be arrived. He found Paulvitch awaiting him. The man was pacing the floor nervously.

The ape was tied with a stout coni to the bed. It was the first time that Jack had ever seen Ajax thus secured.

He looked questionlugly at Paul­vitch. The man mumblingly explained that he believed the animal had guessed that be was to be sent away and that he feared he would attempt

EXPRESSES CONFIDENCE IN LEADERSHIP OF AMERICAN RED CROSS.

General Pershing’s tribute to the R d Cross which he caused to be placed in the official War Diary, and which was reprinted in the Red Cross Bulletin, elicited the follow ing éditerai comment n the Grand Rapids, Mich., Press for October 3.

This is an unsought testimonial amply justifying to the people of the tifaited States the administration of their greatest effort of war merev Ifc has been one of the fine thing“ of American patriotism during th* present emergency that the nation’s leading men, whose t'me is commer dally and industrially of such val ue that it could purchased, will without recompense their full ef farts to such causes.

Washington and the European headquarters are now full of such

• men, executives of the first water, who at great personal sacrifice are giving their time and brains to war organization. They are men who, where they have known sole leader­ship, are now accepting commanding or subordinate positions as duty seems to call, complaining not ex­cept where they have come in con­tact with political procrastination and delay, and bringing vision and efficiency to the departments of government.

If the country does not honor these men and recognize their ser­vices and sacrifices, it will be doing one of the greatest injustices that could be wrought. Major General

And from the wings a hideously bent and disfigured old man watened tne tableau in the box, his pockmarked features working spasmodically in varying expressions that might have marked every sensation in the gamut from pleasure to terror.

"Long have I looked for yon, Tar­zan,” said Akut. “Now that I have found you I shall come to your jungle and live there always.”

The man stroked the beast’s head. Through his mind was running rapidly a train of recollections that carried him far into the depths of the primeval Af­rican forest, where this huge, manlike beast bad fought shoulder to shoulder with him in years before. He saw the black Mugambi wielding the deadly knob stick and beside them, with bared fangs and bristling whiskers. Sheets the Terrible and, pressing close behind, savage as the savage panther, the hid­eous apes of Akut.

The man sighed. Strong within him

He had the address, however, which the trainer had given his father, and two days later he found the opportunity to elude his new tutor—who had re­placed the terrified Mr. Moore—and after considerable search through a section of London which he had never before visited he found the smelly little qnarters of the pockmarked old man.

Paulvitch carried another piece of cord in his hand. There was a noose in one end of it, which he was con­tinually playing with. He walked back and forth, up and down the room. His pockmarked features were working horribly as he talked silently to him­self. The boy had never seen him thu6. It made him uneasy.

At last Paulvitch stopped on the op­posite side of the room far from the ape.

His plans had been well made. He did not consult the beast, which did all that he directed. Together they slunk from the housd, but no casual observer might have noted that one of them was an ape.

The old fellow himself replied to Ms knocking, and when Jack stated that he had come te see Ajax, opened the door and admitted him to the little room which he and the great ape oc­cupied.

At sight of the youth the ape leaped to the floor and shuffled forward. The- man. not recognizing his visitor and fearing that the ape meant mischief, stepped between them, ordering the ape back to the bed.

“He will not hurt me,” cried the boy. “We are friends, and before, he was my father’s friend. They knew one another in the jungle. My father is Lord Grey­stoke. He does not know that I have come here. My mother forbade my coming, but I wished to see Ajax, and I will pay you if you will let me come here often to see him.”

Paulvitch encouraged the boy to come and see him often, and always he played upon the lad’s craving for tales of the savage world, with which Paul­vitch was all too familiar. He left him

i alone with Akut much, and it was aot long until he was surprised to learn that the boy could make the great beast .understand him—that he had actually learned much of the primitive language of the anthropoids.

1 During this period Tarzan came sev­eral times to visit Paulvitch. He seemed anxious to purchase Ajax, and at last he told the man frankly that he was prompted not only by a desire upon his part to return the beast to the liberty of his native jungle, but also becausg his wife feared that in some way her son might learn the where­abouts of the ape and through his at­tachment for the beast become imbued with the roving instinct which, as Tar­zan explained to Paulvitch, had so in­fluenced his own life.

The Russian could scarce repress a smile as he listened to Lord Grey-

shotild he show signs of rebellion <;•-.* ing the trip.”

The lad laughed. “It. will not bo necessary,” he replied. “Ajax will do whatever I tell him te do.”

The old man stamped his foot an­grily. “Come here, I tell you,” he re­peated. “If you do not do as I say you rhall not accompany the ape to Dover. I will take no chances upon his es­caping.”

Still smiling, the lad crossed the room and stood before the Russ.

“Turn around, with your back to­ward me," directed the latter, “so I can show you how to bind him quickly."

The boy did as he was bid, placing his hands behind him when Paulvitch

Instantly the old lut the time they send the terrified man slipped the running noose over j negro in to attack Carlisle’s mother,one of the lad’s wrists, took a couple of half hitches about his other wrist and knotted the cord. The moment that the boy was secured the uttitude of the man changed. He had known and bitterly hated Tarzan in Africa years before, for Tarzan had broken up his business as a slave dealer. Now, with an angry oath, he wheeled Tar- can’s son about, tripped him and hurled him violently to the floor, leaping upon his breast as he fell. From the bed the ape growled and struggled with his bonds.

The boy did not cry out—a trait in­herited from his savage sire, who dur­ing years In the jungle following the death of his foster mother, Kala, the great ape, had learned that there was none to come tq the succor of the fallen.
