cd the nary infOut, aiiu uhOtdcf plnhg- cd keen hunting knife dozen times into the brond breast Like lightning the blows fell and only censcd when Tarzan felt the limp form crumplc be- meath him.
 As the body rolled to tho ground Tarzan of the apes placed his foot upon the neck of his lifelong enemy and. raising his eyes to the full moon. threw back his fierce young head and voiced the wild cry of his people.
 One by one the tribe swung down from their arborcal retreats and form ed circle about Tarzan and his van quished foe. When they had all come Tarzan turned toward them.
 'I am Tarzan" he cried. 'l am great killer. Let all respect Tarzan of the apes and Kala. his mother! There be none among you as mighty as Tar gan. Let his enemies bewarew
 Looking full into the wicked red eyes of Kerchak, the young Lord Greystoke beat upon his mighty breast and screamed out once more his shrill cry of defiance
 
 rarzan of the apes lived on in his wild. jungle existence with little change for several years. only that he grew stronger and wiser and learned from his books more and more of the strange worlds which lay somewhere outside his primeval forest.
 Many days during these years he spent in the cabin of his father. where still lay untouched the bones of his parents and the little skeleton of Kala's baby. At eighteen he read fuently and understood nearly all he read
 Also could he write with printed let ters rapidly and plainly. but script he had not mastered. for. though there were several copybooks among his treasures. there was so little written English in the cabin that he saw no use of bothering with this other form of writing. though he could read 1t la- boriously.
 Thus, at eighteen. we find him an English lordling who could speak no English, yet who could read and write his native language. Never had he seen human being other than him self. for the little area traversed by his tribe was watered by no great river to bring down the savage natives of the interior
 High hills shut it on on three sides. the ocean on the fourth. IL was alive with lions and tigers and leopards and poisonous snakes. Its untouched mazes of matted jungle had as yet invited no hardy pioneer from among the humans beyond its frontier.
 But as Tarzan of the apes sat one day in the cabin of his father. delving into the mysteries of a new book, the ancient security of his jungle was | broken forever.
 l At the far eastern confine a strange cavalcade strung in single file over the brow of low hill.
 In advance were fifty black warriors armed with slender wooden spears. with ends hard baked over slow fires, | and long bows and poisoned arrows. ! On their backs were oval shields, in their noses hung rings, while from the kinky wool of their heads protruded | tufts of gay feathers.
 Following them were several hun. dred women and children. the former | bearing upon their heads great burdens of cooking pots. household utensils and ivory. In the rear were hundred warriors. similar in all respects to the advance guard.
 That they more greatly feared m at- tack from the rear than whatever un. known enemies might turk ahead was evidenced by the formation of the column. and such was the fact. for they were fleeing from the white mans soldiers who had harassed them for rubber and ivory.
 For three days the little cavalcade marched slowly through the heart of this unknown and untracked forest. until finally. early in the fourth day, they came upon little spot near the
