Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"


? ? ? ? Tarzan had long since learned the use of the dictionary, but much to his sorrow and perplexity it proved of no avail to him in this emergency. Not a word of all that was writ in the book could he find, and so he put it back in the metal box, but with a determination to work out the mysteries of it later on.


? ? ? ? Little did he know that this book held between its covers the key to his origin--the answer to the strange riddle of his strange life. It was the diary of John Clayton, Lord Greystoke--kept in French, as had always been his custom.


? ? ? ? Tarzan replaced the box in the cupboard, but always thereafter he carried the features of the strong, smiling face of his father in his heart, and in his head a fixed determination to solve the mystery of the strange words in the little black book.


? ? ? ? At present he had more important business in hand, for his supply of arrows was exhausted, and he must needs journey to the black men's village and renew it.
