you an it you iu mot return as we di- rect, and are we not more likely Co do so ir you anger us than if you do as we bid?'
 "Who are you that speaks the tongue of our Arab musterst' cried the Man yuema spokesman. Let us see you and then we shall give you our an swer"
 Tarzan stepped out or the jungle a dozen paces from them.
 Look" he said When they saw that he was white they were filled with awe. for never had they seen a white savage before. and at his great mus cles and giant frame they were struck with wonder and admiration.
 "You may trust me- said TarZan "So long as you do as ! tell you and harm none of my people, We shall do you no hurt Win you take up our ivory and return iu peace to our vil- lage or shall we follow along your trail toward the north as we have followed for the past three daysT
 The recollection of the horrid days that had just passed was the thing that finally decided the Manyuema. and so. after a short conference, they took up their burdens and set off to retrace their steps toward the village of the Waziri
 At the end of the third day they marched into the village gate and were greeted by the survivors of the recent massacre. to whom Tarzan had sent messenger in their temporary camp to the south on the day that the raiders had quilted the village, telling them that they might return in safety.
 It took all the mastery and persua- sion that Tarzan possessed to prevent the Waziri falling on the Manyuema tooth and nail and tearing them to ! pieces but when he had explained that he had given his word that they would not be molested if they carried the ! ivory back to the spot from which they had stolen it and had further impress ed upon his people that they owed their entire victory to him they finally acceded to his demands and allowed ! the canuibals to rest in peace within their palisade
 That night the village warriors held a big palaver to celebrate their victo- ries and to choose a new chief Since old Waziri's death Tarzan had been directing the warriors in battle and the temporary command had been ! tacitly conceded Co him. There had been no time to choose a new chief from among their own number. and in fact so remarkably successful had they been under the ape-man's geueralship that they had had no wish to delegate the supreme authority to another for fear that what they already had gain ed might be lost They had so recent l ly seen the results of running counter to this savage white mans advice in the disastrous charge ordered by Wa ziri, in which he himself had died that it had not been difficult for them t0 accept Tarzan's authority as final. The principal warriors sat in a circle l about a small fire to discuss the rela- tive merits of whenever might be sug- ! gested as old Wazirrs successor. It
 was Busuli who spoke irst
 Since Wazir is dead. leaving no ! son, there is but one among us whom 1 we know from experience is fitted to make us a good king There is only one who has proved that he can sue l cessfully lead us against the guns Of l the white man and bring us easy vic ! tory without the loss of a single life
 There is only one, and that is the white man who has led us for the past
 few days" And Busuli sprang to his
 feet and with uplifted spear and half
 bent crouching body. commenced to
 dance slowly about Tarzan. chanting
 slowly in time to his steps "Wazlrl.
 king of the Waziri Waziri, killer of
 Arabs. Waziri king of the Wazirir
 One by one the other warriors signi-
 fed their acceptance of TarzaD as their
 king by joining in the solemn dance.
