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

aftu rendered hiui master of far

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. ,

REDFIELD SCORES
"12-HOUR" SYSTEM
Secretary of Commerce Com
pares Worker With
' Southern Slave.
Shorter Work Hours More
. 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.
Much alarm Is expressed in New
York City about the decadence of
the New Year celebrations, as there
is a very considerable number of peo
ple now who do not get drunk.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES
It is a convenience to make, vege
table bags of cheesecloth, into which
you put celery, tomatoes, lettuce and
other fresh vegetables before placing
in the refrigerator.
If drawer space is limited, taeK a
tape around the sides or a Dureau
drawer, at intervals, maKing each loop
large enough to hold a neatly folded
pair of stockings.
A. good play dress ror a child can
be made from a man's worn shirt. Cut
it Dorothy style, and the work is very
little, not to mention the saving in the
youngster's clothes.
A recipe for axle grease Is a pound
of tallow, half a pound of castor oil,
quarter of a pound of black lead. Melt
the tallow and rub the whole well to
gether. "Vaseline stains may be removed
from wash goods by soaking in wood
alcohol and rubbing with the hands.
Then- wash -In hot soap suds. Keen
the alcohol away from fire.
To test, tea, burn a small quantity
on a metal plate. With good tea the
amount of ash remaining is small, in
creasing in Quantity as the quality of
the sample tested deteriorates.
Even when there Is cream in the
coffee, stains can be removed from the
most delicate silk or woolen fabrics
by brushing the spots with pure gly
cerine and rinsing in lukewarm water;
If you have not access to a hot
water bag when it is needed, a good
substitute is a flannel bag filled with
hot sand or salt. A good idea is to
keep half a dozen little ones filled and
ready.
In pressing any clothes or goods
where it is customary to place a cloth
over them when Ironing, use a news
paper instead. It gives a gloss to rib
bon or silk, leaves no line and stiffens
cambrlp.j
Bake, a small portion of beans in a
little earthen jar the size of a tea-cup
and put It in the children's lunch box
es. Such a cup Is good used for cus
tards, scalloped potatoes or a favo
rite pudding.
