Tarzan's Quest t-18

by Edgar Rice Burroughs

  "What are we goin' to do with this box of pills?" demanded Brown.

  "Whatever you wish," said Jane. "You were willing to risk your life to get them. If I recall correctly, I think you said something to the effect that if you had them back in civilization they would make you 'lousy' with money. Keep them."

  "No," replied the American. "We all risked our lives, and anyway you were the one that really got them. The more I think of it, the less I like my scheme. Most everybody lives too long anyway for the good of the world—most of 'em ought to have died young. Suppose Congress got hold of 'em?—just think of that! Not on your life.

  "I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll divide them. There will be five of us that will live forever."

  "And be beautiful always," added Annette.

  "If you will pardon my saying so, Miss," observed Tibbs with an apologetic cough, "I should rawther dislike thinking of pressing trousers for so many years; and as for being beautiful—my word! I'd never get a job. Who ever heard of a beautiful valet?"

  "Well, we'll divide 'em anyway," insisted Brown. "You don't have to take 'em, but be sure you don't sell none of 'em to no cab driver princes. Here, I'll divide 'em into five equal parts."

  "Aren't you forgetting Nkima?" asked Jane, smiling.

  "That's right," said Brown. "We'll make it six parts. He's sure a lot more use in the world than most people."
