TARZAN’S QUEST. —By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS The tropical storm passed as quickly as It came, and once again the rays of the sun touched the wings of the disabled plane in the tree-tops. Inside the cabin Jane took off her shoes and stockings. “My dear, what on earth are you doing?” de manded the princess. "I want to look around outside, and this is the only safe way to climb trees. Perhaps I can reach the baggage compartment and get something to keep us warm." A minute later she climbed out onto the crumpled wing and leaped lightly to a nearby branch. Jane breathed the odors of the forest with keen delight. The restrictions of ordered society, the veneer of civilization, fell away, along with the memories of her stay In London. Again she was a creature of the wilderness, Jane of the jungle— Tarzan’s mate! It seemed that presently a bronzed giant must swing down through the foliage to clasp her in his arms. She smiled ruefully. Tarzan was prob ably hundreds of miles away. She must face the coming perils without him—face them stoutly, as he would wish.
