too. but the less detailed the account Of an apes diet the better-and Tarzan was again an ape. the same fierce, brutal anthropoid that Kala had taught him to be and that he had been for the first twenty years of his life.
 Occasionally he smiled as he recall ed some friend who might even at the moment be sitting placid and immacd- late within the precincts Of his select Parisiau club-just as Tarzan had sat but a few months before-and then he would stop, as though turned sudden ly to stone as the gentle breeze car ried to his trained nostrils the scent of some new prey or a formidable enemy.
 That night he slept far inland from his cabin, securely wedged into the crotch of a giant tree. swaying a hun dred feet above the ground He had eaten heartily again-this ime from the flesh of Bara. the deer. who had fallen prey to his quick moose
 Early the next morning he resumed his journey. always following the . course of the stream. For three days he continued his quest until he bad ] come Co a part of the jungle in which . be never before had been. Occasional ! ly upon higher ground the forest was much thinner. and fin the far distance through the trees be could see ranges l of mighty mountains, with wide plains . i'm the foreground. Here in the open . spaces were new game-cOuutless ante ] lope and vast herds of zebra. Tarzan was entranced He would make a long visit to this new world.
 ! On the morning of the fourth day his ] nostrils were suddenly surprised by a faint. new scent It was the scent of man, but yet a long way oG The ape man thrilled with pleasure. Every . sense was on the alert, as with crafty stealth he moved quickly through the trees, upwlnd, in the direction of his prey. Presently he came upon it-a lone warrior ueadins softly through the jungle.
 Tarzan followed close above his ! quarry, waiting for a clearer space In which to hurl his rope As he stalked . the unconscious man new thoughts ! presented themselves Go the ape-man- thoughts born of the refining inhu- ences of civilization and of it's cruel ties. It came Co him that seldom if ever did civilized man kin a fellow being without some pretext, however slight. It WIS true that Tarz8n wished this mans weapons and ornaments, but was it necessary Co take his fife to obtain themf
 The longer he thought about it the more repugnant became the thought of taking human life ueedlessly, and thus it happened that while he was trying to decide just what to do they had come to a little clearing, at the far side of which lay a palisaded yil- l lage of beehive huts.
 As the warrior emerged from the forest Tarzan caught a feeting glimpse Of taWny hide worming its way through the matted jungle grasses in his wake It was SabOr, the tiger. He too. was stalking the black man. With the instant that Tarzan realized the . natives danger bis attitude toward his erstwhile prey altered completely
 Now he was a fellow man threatened by a common enemy.
 Sabor was about to charge. There was little time in which to compare various methods or weigh the prOba ble result of any. And then a number of things happened almost simultane ! ously. The tiger sprang from his am , bush toward the retreating black; Tar gan cried out in warning, and the blacL { turned just in dime to see Sabor halted ] in mid flight by a slender strand Ol 1. grass rope. the moose end of which had
 fallen cieanly about his neck.
 The ape-man had acted so quickly
 that he had been unable 10 prepare
 himself to withstand the strain ana
 shock of Sabor's great weight upon th' rope, and so it was that though thr
 rope stopped the beast before hil
 mighty talons could fasten themselves
 in the flesh of che black. the suaiI Overbalanced Tarzan, who came tum

 the infuriated animal. Like lighnlnl
 Sab0r turned upon this new enemy ant
 defenseless as he was, TarZan of th Apes was nearer to death that instan than he ever before had been. It wa tbe black who saved him. The war rior realized in am instant that b
