: itSBM OP APES' By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS' Copyright, 1912, by the Frank- A. Mousey Company L (Continued) Tome down, Tarzan, great" kiner!" cried Kerchak, ready for battle. "Oome! down 'and feel the fangs of a greater! .Do mighty flgnters fly to the trees at dangrer?" And he emitted the volleying, chal lenge of his kind. Qnietly Tarzan dropped to the ground. Breathlessly the tribe watch ed, Kerchak, still roaring, charge the relatively pony figure. Nearly seven feet stood Kerchak on bis short legs. His enormous shoul ders were bunched and rounded with S huge muscles. The - back of his short neck was , as a single lump of iron sinew which bulged beyond the base of his skull, so that his head seemed like a small ball protruding from a ttu&e mountain of flesh. , ttt back drawn, snarling Hps expos ed his great fighting- fangs, and his bloodshot eyes gleamed in horrid re flection of his madness. Awaiting him stood Tarzan. himself m mJgbty muscled animal, bat his six feet of height and his great rolling sinews seemed pitifully inadequate to the ordeal which awaited them in their struggle with Kerchak. His bow. and arrows lay some dis tance away, where he bad dropped them when showing Sabor's hide - to his fellow apes, and he confronted Ker chak with only his knife and his supe rior ' intellect to offset the ferocious strength of his enemy. i As his antagonist came roaring to ward him Lord Grtystoke tore his lqpg knife from the sheath and, with an an swering' challenge as horrid and blood curdling as that st the beast he faced, rushed swiftly to meet the attack. He was too shrewd to allow those long, hairy arms to encircle him, and just at their bodies were about to crash to gether Tarzan of the ajes grasped one of the huge wrists of his assailant and, springing lightly to one side, drove his knife to the hilt into Kerchak's body below the heart. . Before he could wrench the blade free' again Kerchak's quick lunge to grasp him in those awful arms had torn the hilt from Tarzan's hand. Kerchak aimed a terrific blow at the spe- man's head with the flat of his Loud Through' the Forest Rang the ' Fierce Wild Cry. hand, a blow -which had it landed might easily hare crusbed in- the side of Tarzan's kull. The man was too quick and, ducking the blow, himself delivered a mighty one with cliiu-hed fist in the pit of Kerchak's stomach. The ape wjis staggered by the blow and. what with the mortal wound in his side, had almost: collapsed, when with one mighty effort he rallied for bo Instant, just lonjr enough to enable him to wrest his arm free from Tar ml's grasp and close iu a terrific clinch with his wiry oppouent. Straining the ape man close to bira, his frrent jaws sought Tarzan's tbroat, but the young losd's sinewy fingers were at Kerchak's own before the -cruel fangs con Id lose on the sleek brown skin. The greater strength of the fipe w:is slowly prevailing- and Uie teeth of tbe straining beast were scarce an inch , from "Tarzan's turfcit wht-n. with a "shuddering tremor, the great body stiffened -for In instant and then sank limply to the groan!. .Kerchak was dead and Tarznu of the the victor. , Withdrawing the' knife that had so aftu rendered hiui master of far -riightier muscles than bis own. Tar ran of the apes plneed his foot upon ftht? neck of ins vanquished enemy, and , 3ii e again - lond through the forest ran? the fierce, wild cry of the conqueror.- ' ' . v-i t'a-cs came the yoimg Iord Grey-, J8tt the k"nr.sllo f t'Jie .rH- CHAPTER VII. Man's Reason. HERE was one of the tribe, of i'J Tarzan who questioned his au O ' thority,and that was Terkoss, the soa of Tubiat, but- lie sJ feared the keen knife and the deathly q a! Ilia D0V lard that h confin ed the manifestation of his objections' to petty disobediences and irritating mannerisms. . Tarzan knew, however, that t he but .waited his opportunity to wrest the kingship from him by some sudden stroke of treachery and so he was always on guard against surprise. Fof months the life of the little band went on much as it had before, except that Tarzan's greater Intelligence and his ability as a hunter were the means of providing for them more bountifully than ever before. Most of them, there fore, were more than content with the Changs ta rulers. ' During this period Tarzan paid many nocturnal visits to the village, where he often renewed his supply of arrows. The blacks had not as yet come upon Tarzan's cabin on the distant ' beach, but the ape man lived in?, constant dread that, while he was away with the tribe, they would discover and de spoil his treasure. So it came that he spent more and more time In the., vi cinity of his father's last home and less and less with the tribe. , ' Presently the members of hisrHttle community began to suffer on account -of bis neglect, for disputes and Quar rels constantly arose which only the king might settle peaceably. -"'' At last some of the older apes spoke to Tarzan on the subject, and for a month thereafter he remained con stantly with the tribe, ,-.'. Tarzan tired of it as he found that kingship meant the curtailment of 'his liberty. He longed for the little cabin and the sun kissed sea, for the cool in terior of the well built house and. for . the never ending wonders of the many bo6ks. . I As he had , grown older, he found that he had grown aWay from his peo ple. Their interests and his. were far. removed. .They had not kept pace with him, nor could they understand aught of the many strange and wonderful dreams that passed through the active brain of their human king. Had Kala lived Tarzan would have sacrificed all else to remain near her, but now she was dead, and, the playful friends of hisT childhood grown into rurly brutes, he felt that be much pre ferred the peace and solitude of his cabin to the irksome duties of leader ship among a horde of wild beasts.. ' The hatred and Jealousy of Terkoz, son of Tubiat, did much to counteract the effect of Tarzan's desire- to re nounce his . kingship among the apes, for, stubborn young Englishman that he was, he could not bring himself to retreat in the face of so malignant an enemy. , ', " . - That Terkoz. would be chosen- lead er in his stead he knew full well, -for .time and again the ferocious; bmte had established his claim to physical su premacy over .'the few bull apes who ! had dared resent his "savage bullying. Tarzan would have liked to subdue the beast without recourse to ..knife or arrows. So much had his great strength and agility increased in 'the period following bis..' maturity that he ' had . come to believe that he might , master the redoubtable Terkoz in a hand to band fight were it not for j the terrible advantage the anthropoid's j huge fighting fangs gave him over the j . poorly .nrmed Tarzan. , One flay the tribe Vas feeding quiet- ' ly , sprea d over a ' considerable . area, when a great screaming rose,: some j distance east of where Tarzan lay upon his belly beside a - limpid brook, at- tempting to catch an elusive fish in ; his quick brown bands. . : ( ,-. - j With one accord the tribe swung rap- j idly toward the frightened "cries and 1 there found Terkoz holding an old fe. male by the hain and beating her nn- t mercifully with his great hands. j As Tarzan approached he raised his j. . hand aloft for Terkoz to desist, for the I female.'was not his., but belonged to. a poor old ape whose fighting days were long over and who therefore cosjd not 'protect his family. .''.' - - j Terkoz knew that it was against the ' laws of his kind to strike the woman : of another; but, being a bully, he had i taken advantage of the weakness of j the female's husband -to chastise, her because , she had refused to, give up to -him a tender young rodent she had , 1 captured. '..- I When Terkoz saw Tarzan approach- ing without his arrows he continued to belabor the poor woman in a studied effort to affront his hated chieftain,' j 1 Tarzan d.;d not repeat his warning signal, but instead rushed boldly upon . the' waiting Terkoz. ''' "-,' -i Never, had the ape man fought so .terrible a battle since that long gone day when the. great king gorilla- had so horribly manhandled him ere the new found knife had, by accident, pricked the savage heart. . r i Tarzan's. knife On the present occa sion but barely offset the gleaming fangs of Terkoz. .and what little ad vantage the ape had over the man hi " bmte strength was almost balanced by the latter's wonderful' quiekness and ngillty. 4 the snm total of their points, how ever, the anthropoid had a shade the i better of the battle, and had there j been no other personal attribute to in- j fiuence the final, outcome- Tarzan of I the apes. the young Liord Greystoke, would have died its he had lived an unkrfow'n savage beast in equatorial Africa. .' But there was that which had raised hirn far -above his fellows of the jungle. I that little spark which spells' the vast difference between man aiid brute reason. This 'it was' that saved Dim : from death beneath the iron muscles ! and tearing fangs of Terkoz., j . Scarcely had 1 hey! fought a dozen seconds pre they were rolling upon the . ground, striking, tearing and rending ' tiy great sava.-Jfe beasts battling to the j death. - 'j ' , Terkoz bad a dozen knife wounds on head ami breast, and Tarzan was torn and bleedkig.- his scalp in one place half (o!-u from his .head, so that a great piece htmg down over one eye. obstructing his vision. I Bui so far the young Englishman ! had been a'ble to keep the horrible ! fangs from his inpul.-ir, and. as they I pii!hf 'ess fiercely for a moment to re i gain their breath. Tarzan formed a j' cunning-plan. Ho would work his way J.to"tl;e other's back an'd. . clingins' there I with tooth 'and nail, drive his knife home until Terkoz was no' more. The maneuver.-, was accomplished more easiiy than be had hoped, for the stuuld beast, not knowing what Tar zan was attempting.1-made no partl- ' THE ular effort to prevent the accomplish nient of the design. " -, But when "finally he realized that bis antagonist was fastened to him where his teeth and fists alike were useless t gainst him Terkoz hurled himself Bbout upon the ground so violently that Tarzan could but cling desperate ly to the leaping, turning, twisting body, and ere he had struck a blow the knife was hurled from his hand by a heavy impact against the earth. -- Tarzan found himself defenseless. During the rollings and squirmings of the next few minutes Tarzan's hold was loosened a dozen times, until final ly an accidetal circumstance of those swift and ever changing- evolutions gave him a new hold with hi right hand, which he sdoii realized "was atn solutely unassailable. His arm was passed beneath ' Ter koz's arm from behind, 'and bis hand and forearm encircled the back of Ter koz's neck. It was the half nelson Of modern jwrestling whiehtbfe untaught ape man had stumbled upon,, but di vine reason showed him in an Instant the value of the thing he had discov ered.. It was the difference to him be tween life and death.' V 7 , . And so be struggled to encompass a similar hold with the left hand. In a few moments Terkoz's bull neck was creaking beneath a full nelson. ' There: was no more lunging aboqt now. ; The two lay perfectly still, upon the ground, Tarzan upon -; Terkoz's back Slowly the bullet head - of the ape was being forced .lower and lower upon his chest. ' ;" Tarzan knew what the result would be. In an instant the neck would break. Then there came to Terkoz's rescue, the same thing that had put him in "these sore straits a man's rea soning power. - "If I kill him," thought TarzanT "what advantage will it be to mei Will it not but rob the tribe of a great fighter? And if Terkoz is dead he wiU know nothing of my supremacy, while alive he will be an example to the oth er apes." . . .- T - v 1 ' "Ka-goda ?" hissed Tarzan in ' Ter koz'sar, which in ape tongue means, freely translated "Do you surrender?" .. For a moment there was no reply,, and Tarzan added a few more ounces of pressure, which elicited a horrified shriek of pain from the great beast. "Ka-goda?" repeated ' Tarzan. V ' "Ka-goda!" cried Terkoz. "Listen,", said Tarzan, easing tip a trifle, but not releasing his hold. "I am Tarzan, king of , the apes, . mighty hunter, mighty fighter. In all the jun gle there is none so great. ' - "Tou have said 'Ka-goda' to me. All the tribe have heard. Quarrel no more with your king or your people, for next time . I shall kill you. : Do you understand?"-- ;- , '. . "Huh," assented Terkoz. - - "And you are satsfled?" . -i "Huh," said the ape. Tarzan; let him up, and in a few minutes all . were' back, at their voca tions as; though naught- had occurred to mar the tranquillity of their prime val forest, haunts. ' But deep in the minds of the apes was rooted the conviction that Tarzan was a 'mighty fighter and a strange creature strange because he had had it in his power to kill his enemy, but had allowed him. to live, unharmed. That afternoon as the tribe came to gether,; as1 was their wont after dark ness settled oh the Jungle. "Tarzan, his wounds washed in. the limpid waters of the little stream, called the old males about him.. . . . ' "You have seen again tqday that Tarzan of the . apes ls the greatest among you,' he said. - "Huh," they replied yltb one voice. "Tarzan is great." "Tarzan," he continued, "is not ' an ape. . He is not like bis people; His ways are not their ways, and so Tarzan is going back to the lair of, his own kind by the waters of the great lake which has ho farther shore. You must choose another to rule you." Tarzan will not return.". ' ' And thus young Lord Greystoke took the first step toward the goal which he had set himself the finding of other white men like himself. ' , ' The following morning Tarzan, lame ar 1 sore from the wounds of his bat tle with-Terkoz. set out toward the west and the seacoast. ' He traveled .very slowly,; sleeping In the Jungle at night and reaching his cabin late the, following morning., r'.-v. For several days hemoyed about but little, only enough to gather what fruit and nuts he required to satisfy the de mands of hunger, r:. r ,.v ' In -ten days hie was quite sound again except for a terrible, half healed scan which, starting above bis left eye, ran across tbe top of his head, ending at-the right ear. it was the mark-left by Terkoz when he had torn the scalp away. ' . ' ' ' During1 his convalescence Tarzan tried to fashion a mantle from, the skin of Sabor. the tiger, which' had Iain all this time in the cabin. But he found tbe hide driedr as stiff, as a board, and, as he knew naught of tan ning, he was forced to , abandon bis cherished plan. . Then hp determined x-to fiTch what few garments becouId from one of the black men of Mbonga's village, for he Ijad ' decided to mark his elevation from the lower orders in every possi ble manner, and nothing seemed to him a more distinguishing badge of manhood than ornaments and clothing. To 'this end. therefore he collected the various arm and leg ornaments he had taken from the black warriors who had, succumbed to his swift and silent noose and donned them all. . About his neck hung the golden chain from which depended the diamond in crusted locket ofhis mother, the Lady Alice. At his back was a quiver of ar rows slung from a ( leathern shoulder belt, another piece of loot from some vanquished black. , (To be Continued.)

Economical to Employers. Washington, Dec. 31. William C. Redfleld, Secretary of Commerce, .pro- sided at the closing session of the As sociation, for Labor Legislation this afternoon. ; "The combined effect of the twelve-hour day and the day-and nigbt alternation of shifts in the con tinuous industries is to produce a class of men who can be regarded as but little better than slaves to the ma chines which they operate. They are worn out more rapidly than were the slaves en the Southern plantations, and ; more effectually debarred from the common pleasures of life than many of the prisoners in our penal In stitutions," said Basil M. Manley, spe cial agent , of the federal bureau of labor in the recent investigation of the iron' and steel . industry. "Thei twelve-hour worker, -: continued Dr. Manly, "has no time for recreation, no time for friends, no time for- his wife. no time for his children to whom he is dull stranger who comes and g-Jres and whom they see less frequently and kno-sie leas intimately than their school teacher." i ' ' These- twelve-hour' men, according to Dr. Manly, form the labor force in a long list or minor industries ana their number Is enormous in the man ufacture of iron and steel, gas, cement, paper and wood pulp, coke,- starch, beet sugar, glass bottles, in many branches of the chemical industry and in bakeries. Large numbers of em ployees work, twelve-hours "in the pub lic service operations, In the telegraph, telephone, and messenger service; street railways and ferries; railway yards, stations and terminals; central electric light and power' stations; and the contract mall handling service. In some or these industries, saia tne speaker, the worker is at the same time exposed to ' injurious dusts and fumes, "to abnormal heat, and to ex treme hazards of life and limb. In public utilities long hours of work also frequently menace public safety, "During the past year the Association for Labor Legislation has secured laws for one day of rest in seven; legisla tion is even more urgently needed to abolish the twelve-hour day, especial ly in- the Iron and steel Industry and in public service operations," . concluded Dr. Manly. That the shorter work-day Is more economical as well as humane was the declaration of S. Thurston Ballard, flour manufacturer of Louisville, Ken. tucky, and member of the Federal -Industrial' Commission, who has had the eight hour shift system in operation since July 1, 1907, while all other flour manufacturers - work their employees two shifts of twelve 'hours each. While on two shifts we had 22 men on- each watcn, malting 4 men to pack out output in twenty-four hours," said Mr. .'Ballard, - "but when we changed'to the' eight hour basis we re quired only 15 'men "td a crew, or 45 men" in . all, sq( that practically the same number of : men were able to do the work. A man doing active or la borious work ; can do as much in 8 hours as he can in 12. We pay our men the same wage for eisht hours of work'that we formerly paid for twelve. In duality of output, in -steadiness of running, in loyal workmen contented and pleased with their condition, it has been a profitable investment." Austin .13. Garretson, president of the railway conductors, condemned long hours In railroading, andd Ernst Freund. of the University of Chicago spoke on the constitutional aspects of hour legislation for men.
