Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"

Philander, do you recall any of the details of the finding and burying of three skeletons found in my cabin beside that African jungle?"


? ? ? ? "Very distinctly, sir, very distinctly," replied Mr. Philander.


? ? ? ? "Was there anything peculiar about any of those skeletons?"


? ? ? ? Mr. Philander eyed Tarzan narrowly.


? ? ? ? "Why do you ask?"


? ? ? ? "It means a great deal to me to know," replied Tarzan. "Your answer may clear up a mystery. It can do no worse, at any rate, than to leave it still a mystery. I have been entertaining a theory concerning those skeletons for the past two months, and I want you to answer my question to the best of your knowledge--were the three skeletons you buried all human skeletons?"


? ? ? ? "No," said Mr. Philander, "the smallest one, the one found in the crib, was the skeleton of an anthropoid ape."


? ? ? ? "Thank you," said Tarzan.


? ? ? ? In the car ahead, Jane was thinking fast and furiously.
