HOLD MEETING
The last Bible Study took up tfie
character of Jeremiah. It is not
strange that he was called the
"weeping prophet" and the "prophet
of the broken heart" for no man suf-
fered mart' for the sills of his peoplt
than did Jeremiah. Others had pre-
dicted the punishment that should
come upon Israel, but Jeremiah lived
during its fulfillment and whs unable
10 persuade his people to accept hi-
counsel. They cruelly persecuted
him, and listened to the false proph-
ets who brought them to captivity
are kept at home by flu. Those who
attended were well repaid for the
hour of reverent study of this great
and grand prophet.

BLACK JOHN PLOTS
(Continued)
A gloating uniile spread over the
face of Black John. " I'his T.irziin
ape is no matel' for Black John!"
he boasted "Even now 1 am wait
ing for word thst he ha* been
caught I
Mary reprened a reply and
battened to the hut and to Bobby
Deep in the jungle two of the
elcvereit of the nativcj had finished
placing a trap cage and lay hidden
in the brukh watching it They
crouched entirely hidden as they
heard the approach of something
It was Tang making hi* way
through, cautiously after his defeat
bv Tarzan in hi*, attempt to gain
tie title of king of the jungle Taug
Cuied and stared curiously. Just
fore hit., he caught sight of a
tempting bunch of jungle fruit, left
unguarded by someone
He moved forward for it, reached
out to grasp it—and the door of
the trap sprung shut a* the ape
lashed his way back ind forth in
futile effort now to free himself.
Instantly the two natives were on
their feet. "Tarzan is caught!"
cried one "The Witch Doctor is
mightier than Tarzan the Mighty!
Run and tell him while 1 guard the
trap I"
From a-far now Tarzan himself
could hear the raging of Taug
Something was wrong,—was it with
this interloper or with snmr new
claimant fur the title of jungle
king'' Quickly Tarzan swung hiin
self along in the direction of the
cries.
Soon he was peering down from
his eyrie in a tree whence lie had
swung himself by his (,'ra-.s rope
Below he could sre the native in
a dann of triumph about the cage
trap. \ cunning expression over
spread Tarzan's ft atures a* he set
himself for ; long swing.
As though from the sky above
Tarzan «-v ;-ng down upon the
native guarding the trap. A look of!
frantic fc;r came to the native's
fare It was as if i>y a miracle the
supposed captive wa•> free. In des-
peration he clo*r<! wi'h Tarz.v
But it wa« an unequal tight
moment and Tarzan had picked
him up bodily and flung h:m toward
the cage.
The native lay there, still Tarzan
darted to the cage and peered in
It was Tatig "So," lie muttered
us he tore at the trap, "you would
be king of the jungle!' Tartan
■miled "Yet Tar/an is glad to
help Taug."
Tartan at last laid his hand on
the cslch of the trao He un-
fastened the door, lilted it, and
Taug sprang out.
It was no lor, et tht miWn Taug
"Taug will tight Farzan no more!"
hi chattered. "Tarzan is Tarzan,
the Mighty, mightier than Taug!"
Tarzan was an easy master.
"Come!" he ordered "When our
enemies come they shall not find
their trap empty!"
He picked up 'he unconscious
native, carried hini to the door of
the trap, flung him in and closed it.
He motioned to Taug to disappear,
then Tarzan himself swung back by
his grass rope up into the crotch
of the tree and settled himself, un-
seen, to watch
Into the stockade of the Lost Vil-
lage dashed the breathless native
runner calling at the top of his
voice.
"Tarzan—Tarzan, the Mighty, is
caugh'l"
Instantly the village was in an
uproar Within the nut Mary and
Bobby heard Mary drew Bobby
close to her as they peered out at
the excitement.
There wa Black John surrounded
by the admiring villageis. "Come
on!" he harangued. "We will get I
this Tarzan wno has been leading
the beasts >'f the jungle against us!
You shall -.ce that 1 am mightier
than this Tarzan the Mighty!"
"Tarzan!" whispered Bobby.
"Why, Mary, that's the one saved
you from the crocodile, isn't it?"
Heading tin natives Black John
was leading off the rabble.
"Yes. Bobbie Let us go, too'
Mary wa> >vuriied.
They overtook the crowd just as
Black John rushed up to the trap.
Black John started to open it, post-
ing the others ready to attack, cap-
ture and kill Tarzan But it was
only a moment before Black John's
triumph changed to cries of ba filed
rage No oik calm out B'ack
John reached in, dragging out now
only the half conscious native.
"Why, it's one of the tribe!" ex
cl;'i*:iei! Bobby in su-pri <
Mary was unable to restrain the
relief she feit after her anxiets
"It it was Tar/an—with the
strength of a million devils! chat-
tered the frightened nativi
Black John hurled him away from ; stole
himself and glared at the stipersti
tioiis natives. He turned suddenly
and an ugly scowl spread ovt r his
face a - he caught the smile of M.iiv
and Bobby's grin llcr smile
changed quickly to alarm. Bobby
shrank by her .side.
"Laugh, will you?" Black John
gripped Mary's wrists, glaring at
Iter. "Mark this—no wild bca^t of
the jungle can trick Black John!
In terror Mary shrank away
Would the.srdi villian vent hi^ rage
on her and her little brother? Whai
could she do? There was no one
to whom to appeal—none
None? A protector was closer
than ither she or BluA lohti re-
alized. High overhead hid Tarzan
himself in the leafy screen of the
trees. He saw; also he saw the
tribe, too many for him.
But Tarzan, king of the jungle,
was never defeated, not in his own
jungle. His face was suddenly con-
vulsed with rage at the indignity
| to the fair white queen. 1 le raised
j his he id and uttered a loud roar.
It was human yet like nothing hu-
! man. It was the battle cry of the
king of the jungle culling upon his
follower.-..
The natives heard and they knew
I it. They fled in panic. Black John
| followed. Was he not their leader?
In terror, too, Mary and Bobby
fled
Far and wide through his jungle
kingdom the call was heard Tan-
tor heard and started, trumpeting.
Tarzan swung himself down
before Mary and Bobby, stood be
fore them in awed admiration. Mary
did not know whether to run or
stay. Bobby stared in wide-eyed
fear and admiration.
"Fear not! Tarzan will never al-
low that Black John to harm the
White Angell"
Mary shivered at the thought of
Black John "You are good—good
as you are brave. But Black John
has many men—and you are alone."
Just then Tantor broke through
the jungle Tarzan smiled. "Tar
zan is not alone! The beasts of
the jungle are his friends! See!"
Mary shrank back and Bobby cried
out in fear. "Don't be afraid of
Tantor. He is Tarzan's friend and
will help the White Angel, even as
Tarzan once helped him Once
when I was a very little boy, with
my knife I cut •him loose from a
trap
Quickly in his curious English
T arzan told the story "And now,"
he added to Mary, "barn thi< bird
call If Tarzan hears the bird call,
he will know the White Angel is in
danger and \v ill come
Mary repeated the call until sin
got it perfect. But she was nerv-
ous llcr absence In in the village
would be noticed SIk ihanked
Tarzan, turned toward th« village,
while Tarzan was wutig up on his
back by I alitor who started off,
also.
In the thicket the jealous, scowl-
ing, scheming eyes of Black John
missed none ot this meeting
Through lu> tortuous brain was
evolving a dark sebum He would
Use T antoi to capture Tar/an and
nip this friendship in the bud.
N'ii sooner did Blacl; John have
.i; idea than In put it in execution
I In the fastness of the Jungle he M t
| the irilu to work digging a pit. In
the bottom tile pit he placed
r. >w ot lon;<, harp-pointed stakes.
Over the pit lie v laid a flimsy ial e

It was inipo -lule tc keep secret
such a plot in the villagi ITie
moment Maty Icarmd ii her first
thought was to warn Tarzan She
cautiously to the door of the
hut and looked out i'ht re on
guard a burly native blocked her

Somehow she must convey the
warning to Tarzan She looked
helplessly at Bobby Suddenly an
idea flashed into her mind
"They'll ikvci suspcci you,
