 With a Bound the Black Leaped En-
 tirely Over the Rushing Beast. 1y. Also, why tbe black warrior had ruined his delicious repast by plung- ing it into the blighting heat, was quite beyond him. Possibly the fire was friend with whom the archer was sharing his food.
 Tarzan would not ruin good meat in any such foolish manner, so he gobb1ed down great quantity of the raw flesh, bury1ng the balance of the carcass be- side the trail where he could find it upon his return
 And then Lord Greystoke wiped his greasy fingers upon his naked thighs and took up the trail of Kulonga, the son of Mbonga, the king; while in far off London another Lord Greystoke, the younger brother of the real Lord Greystoke's father, sent back his chops to the. clubs chef because they were underdone, and when he had finished his repast he dipped his finger ends into silver bowl of scented water and dried them upon a piece of snowy dam ask
 All day Tarzan followed Kulonga, AORGE1AS. dOOf0 AiAA III IAC LASCS A1hO some maIign spirit. Twice more he saw him hurl his arrows of destruc- tion-onee at Dango, the hyena. and again at Manu. the monkey. In each instance the animal died almost in- stantly, for Ku1onga's poison was very fresh and very deadly. There was something mysterious connected with these tiny slivers of wood which could bring death by mere scratch. thought Tarzan. He must look into the matter.
 That night Fulonga slept in the crotch of mighty tree and far above him crouched Tarzan of the apes.
 When Kulonga awoke he found that his bow and arrows had disappeared. The black warrior was furious and frightened. but more frightened than furious. His spear he had hurled at Kala and ha& not recovered, and. now that his bow and arrows were gone, he was defenseless except for single knife His only hope lay in reaching the village of ATbonga as quickly as his sgs would carry him.
 That Sle was not far from home he was certain so he took to the trail at a rapid trot. From a great mass of impenetrable foliage few yards away emerged Tarzan of the apes to swing quietly in his wake.
 Kulonga's bow and arrows were se- curely tied high in the top of giant tree, fHom which a patch off bark had been removed by a sharp knife near to the ground and a branch half cut through and left hanging about fifty feet higher up. Thus TarZan blazed the forest trails and marked his caches
 As Kulonga continued his Journey Tarzan closed up on him until he trav-
 R.I1 rope he now held coiled in his right hand. He was almost ready for the kill. At
 The moment was delayed only be- cause Tarzan was anxious to ascertain the black warriors destination, and presently he was rewarded. for they came suddenly in view of a great clear ing, at one end of which lay many strange lairs
 Tarzan was directly over Kulonga as he made the discovery. The forest ended abruptly beyond lay POO yards of planted fields betwe cen the jungle and the village.
 As Kulonga emerged from the shad ow of the jungle the quick moose tight ened about his neck.
 So rapidly did Tarzan of the apes drag back his prey that Kulonga's cry or aldrn WAS lufOtIiOu III HIS W11IO- pipe. Hand over hand Tarzan drew the struggling black until he had him hanging by his neck in midair. Then Tarzan. climbing to a larger branch. pulled the still thrashing victim well up into the sheltering verdure of the tree.
 He fastened the rope securely to stout branch and then, descending. plunged his hunting knife into Ku- longas heart. Kala was avenged.
 Tarznn examined the black minutely. Never had he seen any other human being. The knife. with it's sheath and belt, caught his fancy. He appropriat ed them. A copper anklet also took his fancy, and this he put on his own leg. Then quickly he lowered ku- longa's body to the ground, removed the moose and took to the trees again
 
 From a lofty perch Tarzan viewed the village of thatched huts across the intervening plantation.
 He saw that at one point the forest touched the village. and to this spot he made his way Iured by q fever of curiosity to behold animals of his own kind and to learn more of their ways and view the. strange iairs in which they lived
