? ? ? ? D'Arnot handed Tarzan the two messages that had been left for him.
? ? ? ? Tarzan read the first one through with a look of sorrow on his face. The second one he turned over and over, searching for an opening--he had never seen a sealed envelope before. At length he handed it to D'Arnot.
? ? ? ? The Frenchman had been watching him, and knew that Tarzan was puzzled over the envelope. How strange it seemed that to a full-grown white man an envelope was a mystery. D'Arnot opened it and handed the letter back to Tarzan.
? ? ? ? Sitting on a camp stool the ape-man spread the written sheet before him and read:
To Tarzan Of The Apes:
? ? ? ? Before I leave let me add my thanks to those of Mr. Clayton for the kindness you have shown in permitting us the use of your cabin.
? ? ? ? That you never came to make friends with us has been a great regret to us. We should have liked so much to have seen and thanked our host.
