He took It from her, and; taking the C'baiir In his two hands,- he plaiceS it a boat "her neck, smiling at her expres sion of surprise. t ' Jane Porter shook her head vehe mently and would have removed the tpolden links from about her throat, bat Tarzan would hot let her.- Taking her hands In his, "lie held them tightly to prevent her.; " '.'.'.. . At last She desisted And with A Httle langn raised the locket to her. Hps, and, rising, dropped him a little courtesy. Tarzan did not know precisely what she meant,' but he guessed - correctly that It was her way of acknowledging the gift, and so he rose, too, and, tak ing the locket in his hand, ' stooped gravely like some courtier of old and pressed his lips upon it where hers had rested..-.. -.-. .V :-: It was. a ' stately; .aiid, gallant little compliment, performed With the grace and "dignity of "utter ' unconsciousness of self.' It "was the hall mark of , his aristocratic birth. ' 1 ( It was growing dark now, '. and so they ate again of the fruit whichwas both food and drink for them, and then Tarzan rose and, leading Jane Porter to the little bower he- had erected, mo tioned her to go within. For the first time in hours a feeling of fear swept over her, and Tarzan felt her draw away as though shrink ing from him.". . - To reassure her Tarzan did the. only thing he knew. He removed his hunt.: log knife from -its sheath and handed It to her hut first,, again motioning her into the bower. " "r -: ' -' The girl -understood, "and, taking the long knife. She entered and lay down upon the soft grasses, while Tarzan of the apes stretched .himself upon,- th ground across the entrance. V ; 1 . ' . And thus the rising sun found them In the morning. , ; i - . & When Jane Porter awoke, slowly the circumstances . of her position crept one b;y 'one 3 into" her mind. Thei' a great wonderment rose in her heart,' a mighty -wave f thankfulness and gratitnde that, though she had been in such terrible danger, -yet she was un- She moved-to -the -entrance of tt.e shelter to look f or ' Tarzan.' ' He was gone. "-But this time no fear assailed ' her; for. she knew that he would re-j- turn.-. " " -il '- ' ;- ' ' In the grass .at the entrance to her bower she saw the mprt of his body where he. had lain-. all . night to guard lier. She knew that "the fact that he had been "there was alt that had per mitted' her to sleep 10-such peaceful , secwrily. -''f-' "- '-ey'': '"V"9 r '- ' She looked up to ;see his lithe" form drop softly from a nearby tree. ;.As he ; caught .her. 'eyes, npon" him 3his' face lighted - with that frank and 'radiant smile that had won her confidence, the day before. ': - . -'--.- As. be approached her Jane Porter's lieart beat faster and her eyes' bright ened as they had never done before at the approach of any man. ' 3'-'- ' He had again been gathering fruit, which he laid at the entrance of; her bower. . Once ,more ..they sat down to gether to eat. -. v Jane Porter commenced to wonder what his plans were. - Would he take Ler back to the beach, or wuld .he keep her here? Suddenly she? realized thSt the matter did not seem to give ' her" much ' concern. Could it"1 be that she did not care! She ; could not .understand it. Her m reason told her that she should be torn by wild anxieties. Instead," her, heart. was singing. . When they had finished their, break fast -Tarza-n went to her bower and recovered his knife. Motioning her to follow, Tarzan walked toward the trees at the edge of the arena and, taking her In one strong arm,, swung to the branches above. The girl, knew that he was taking her back to ber people, -and she could not 1 understand the sudden feeling Of sor row which crept over her. For hours they swung: slowly- along. Tarzan tt the apes did not hurry. He' tried to draw out ts sweet pleas ure of that Journey wJlft tnd4 dear arms about his neck as long as possi ble,, and so he went far south of the direct route to the beach, . Several , times they halted for brief rests, which Tarzan did not need, and f jMxm they stopped for ah'hdtir at a little brook, where they quenched their thirst and ate. It was nearly sunset when they came - to the clearing and Tarzan, dropping to the ground "beside a great tree, part ed the tan jungle grass and pointed at the little cabin to her. She took him by- the.. hand to lead " him to it, that she might tell ber father - that this man had saved her from worse' than death ; that he had watched per her as carefully as a mother. But again the timidity of the wild Uw-ng in the face of human habitation swept over Tarzan of the apes. He drew back, shaking his bead. girl cants close to him, looking ep with pleading eyes. Somehow she coald not bear the thought of his going bftck into the jungle alone., : ' Still he shook bis head, and finally wf drew her to him very gently, and stooped" la. kiss her but first he looked icto her eyes and waited to learn If SL-e were pleased or If she would re vise Mm. ; .just an instant, the girl hesitated, and then she realise the jb-uth. and, t! rowing her arms about his neck, she a wxr ju Jape te Iters and kissel lnt unashamed. v. . . -, ... "I love you -I ; love you," she murmured.-" ' ' .';'" From' far in the distance . came the faint sp.und of many guns..
