yards of planted fields between 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 of alarm was throttled in his wind 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 a stout branch and then. descending. plunged his hunting knife, into Ku- longa's heart. Kalu was avenged
 Tarzan examined the black minutely. Never bad he seen any other humun being. The knife. with its sheath and belt, caught his fancy He appropriat- ed them. A copper anklct also took bis fancy. and this he put on his own -leg Then quickly he lowered Ku- | the moose and took to the trees again. r. 1. From lofty perch Tarzan viewed the village of matched huts across the Intervening plantation.
 He saw that at one point the forest touched the village. and to this spot he made his way, lurcd by fever of curiosity to behold animals of his own kind and to learn more of their ways and view the strange lars in which they lived.
 His life among the brutes of the jungle left no opening for any thought that these could be other than enemies. Similarity of form led him to no CT roneous conception of the welcome thnt would be accorded him should he be discovered
 His strange life bad left him neither moroSe nor bloodthlrsty That he joy cd in killing and that he killed with a laugh upon his handsome lips betoGen- ed no innate cruelty.
 So it was that now. as he cautiously approached the village of MbOuga he was quite prepared either to kill or be killed should he be discovered He proceeded with unwouted stealth. for Kulonga Ind taught him great respect for the little sharp splInters of wood 1 which denlt death so swiftly and un- errlngly.
 At length he came to q grent tree. heavy with thick foliage and loaded with pendant loops of giant creepers. From this almost impenetlihle bower above the village he crouched. looking down upon the scene below him.
 There were naked children running and playing in the street. There were women grinding dried plnntnln in crude stone mortars. while others were | fashloning cakes from the powdered four. Out in the fields be could see stil other women hocing. weeding or gathering. Dozing in the shade hc , saw several men. while at the extreme | outskirts of the clearing he occasion- ally caught glimpses of armed war riors apparently on gnard. He noticed that the women alone worked. Finally his eyes rested upon n woman directly beneath him. 1 Before her was small caldrop standing over a low fire. and in it bub- bled thick. reddish. tarry mass On one side of her lay a quantity of wood en arrows. which she dipped into the seething substance and then laid thcm on narrow rack of bows which stood | at her other side.
 l TarZan of the apes was fascinated.
 Here was the secret of the destructive
 ness of ''the archers" tiny missiles. | He noted the extreme care which ths
 woman took that none of the matter should touch her hands
 How he should like to have more of those little death dealing slivers. 1T the woman would only leave fer work for an Instant he could drop down.
 gather up q handful and be back ID the tree again before she drew three breaths.
 | As he was trying to think ont some plan to distract her attention he heard
 a wild cry from across the clearing. He looked and saw black warrior
 standing beneath the very tree fin ! which he had killed inc murderer Of 1 iNala an hour before
 The fellow was shouting and waving
 his spear above his head. Now and
 again he would point 10 something on
 the ground before him.
