along the trail on either side in the
densest underbrush. They stood at far
intervals, and as the column passed q
single arrow or a heavy spear, well
aimed, would pierce Manyuema or
an Arab. Then the Waziri would melt
into the distance and run ahead to
take his stand farther on. They did
not strike unless success We're sure and
the danger Of detection almost nothing,
and SO the arrows and the spears were
few and far between, but so persistent
and inevitable that the slow moving
column Of heavy laden raiders was I'm
constant state Of panic-panic at the
pierced body Of the comrade who had
just fallen, panic at the uncertainty OF
who the next would be to fall and
when.
1t was with the greatest difficulty
that the Arabs prevented their men a
dozen times from throwing away their
burdens and fleeing like frightened
rabbits up the trail toward the north.
And so the day wore on-a frightful
nightmare Of day for the raiders-a
day OF weary but well repaid work for
the Waziri. At night the Arabs con-
structed rude bona in little clear
ing by river and went into camp.
At intervals during the night a rife
would bark close above their heads,
and one of the dozen sentries which
they now had posted would tumble to
the ground. Such condition was in
supportable, for they saw that by

camp Of the Waziri.
Presently one of the Arabs turned
and saw that the thing that had leaped
from the tree upon them lay still and
quiet where it had fallen in the center
OF the village street. Cautiously he
crept back toward 1t until he saw that
1t was but man. A moment later he
was beside the figure and in another
had recognized 1T as the corpse of the
Manyuema who had stood on guard at
the village gate.
His companions rapidly gathered
around at his call, and after a mo-
ment's excited conversation they did
precisely what Tarzan had reasoned
they would. Raising their gums to
their shoulders. they poured yolley
after vOlley into the tree from which
the corpse had been thrown. Had
Tarzan remained there he would have
been riddled by hundred bullets.
when the Arabs and Manyuema dis
covered that the only marks of yfo-
ience upon the body Of their dead COM
rade were giant finger prints upon his
swollen throat they were again thrown
INTO deeper apprehension and despair.
That they Were not even safe within
pa!saded village at night came as a
distinct shock to them. That an enc
my could enter the midst of their Camp
and Kill their sentry with bare hands
seemed outside the bonds Of reason.
and SO the superstitious Manyuema
commenced to attribute their i'll luck

to find the foe. AS they stood deDat-

gesticulating. one Of the Arabs sank
silently to the ground in their very
midst-a thin arrow protruding from
his heart.
Tarzan had placed the finest marks

trees, with directions never to reveal
themselves while the enemy was faced
in their direction. As a black released
his messenger Of death be would stink
back behind the sheltering stem OF the
tree he had selected. nor would he again
aim until a watchful eye told him that
none was looking toward his tree.
Three times the Arabs started across
the clearing in the direction from which
they thought the arrows came, Dut
each time another arrow would come
from behind to take it's toll from among
their number. Then they would turn
