An artist, one day, made a present of a very gorgeous piece of stuff, telling friends of Dick ens that he was puzzled as to what use to make of it, was advised to “send it to Dickens; he’ll make a waistcoat of it.” 1 CHARLIE CHAN The Trail Begins (Follow Charlie Chan in the Colored Comic Section Every Sunday.)_gy Alfred Andriolo Jt,is sailing TIME AT THE ♦VICToRlA'PlER Charlie anp LEE HA^EMAPE HURRlEP PREPARATIONS EoR THE TRIP To AMERICA— . “ INSPECTOR CHAN, X SHAU- 1 NEVER CEASE TO EE 6RATEfUL To X?U TOR WHAT YOU HAVE QONt! 1 HOPE THAT SOME PAy WE CAW HAVE OUR -^HOUPAy TOGETHER/ W 600V BVE/ iNSPEC-fOR chan)/ x Shall always REMEMBER you/ HOW CAN) X HELP IT- WITH MICHAEL AS A CONSTANT W REM IN PER? -ggi 6000 syg, CHAftLIfc/ . 600P LUCK, SAP MOMENT OF > BOOP BYB 6 WRITTEN IN BOOK OF FATE LIKE PAY OF BIRTH!

"/ TARZAN AND THE ELEPHANT MEN —By Edgar Rice Burroughs L UNITED rtATtJRI SYNDICATE I nr r-e> As the lion burst in upon the melee. Troll was quick to grasp the opportunity to escape. He gathered up the great diamond, shouted to Spike' and the bearers, then fled into the forest. All night they trudged through the jungle, and at daylight, halted to rest. “Well, the big diamond didn't have any magic; it didn't work,” Spike moaned. Troll made no answer. He wras lost in deep thought. Sud denly his eyes blazed. “Say, I know what'a wrong. Remember, when Tarzan and Mafka made the rock work, Gonfala was always there." “Right!” Spike shouted gleefully. "If we had the girl, maybe the magic would come back.” “But. how'll we find her?” “Oh. maybe we'll run across her." And strangely, fickle fortune be came an ally of the two villians, and guided their wandering footsteps. That night, they discerned a distant campfire and went to reconnoitre. As they crept slowly through concealing bushes, Spike suddenly grasped Troll's arm and whispered: ‘Look! Gon fala!" Trolls eyes narrowed. ‘ Yes, it's her. And we got to get her!” OAKY DOAKS—The Demon Demonstrator Tra«l<»mnrtr » b 11 1 • d For D 8 P*t»nt Oflle# Wrm OAKY ABOARD, MIDNIGHT BLUE JUMPED HIGH INTO THE AIR... ...THEN, LIKEATHUNDERBOLT, DOWN HE CAME... — " i y . i'll ...
