the difference between this tarzan, and that of the movies, is profound. " Quickly he ran to the cupboard and searched in the far recess of the lower shelf. Ah! He breathed a sigh of relief as he drew out the little tin box, and, opening it, found his greatest treasures undisturbed. The photograph of the smiling strong-faced young man, and the little black puzzle book were safe." " So they did not know that he was Tarzan of the Apes. He would tell them. In his tree he had constructed a rude shelter of leaves and boughs, beneath which, protected from the rain, he had placed the few treasures brought from the cabin. Among these were some pencils. He took one, and beneath Jane Porter's signature he wrote: I AM TARZAN OF THE APES. He thought that would be sufficient. Later he would return the letter to the cabin. In the matter of food, thought Tarzan, they had no need to worry---he would provide, and he did." " He was rapidly becoming impatient for her return, that he might feast his eyes upon her and be near her, perhaps touch her. The ape-man knew no god, but he was as near to worshipping his divinity as mortal man ever comes to worship. While he waited he passed the time printing a message to her; whether he intended giving it to her he himself could not have told, but he took infinite pleasure in seeing his thoughts expressed in print--in which he was not so uncivilized after all. He wrote: I AM TARZAN OF THE APES. I WANT YOU. I AM YOURS. YOU ARE MINE. WE LIVE HERE TOGETHER ALWAYS IN MY HOUSE. I WILL BRING YOU THE BEST OF FRUITS, THE TENDEREST DEER, THE FINEST MEATS THAT ROAM THE JUNGLE. I WILL HUNT FOR YOU. I AM THE GREATEST OF THE JUNGLE FIGHTERS. I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU. I AM THE MIGHTIEST FO THE JUNGLE FIGHTERS. YOU ARE JANE PORTER, I SAW IT IN YOUR LETTER. WHEN YOU SEE THIS YOU WILL KNOW TAHT IT IS FOR YOU AND THAT TARZAN FOF THE APES LOVES YOU." no 'me tarzan, you jane', there.
