perlor reason guided him to the best
food sources and TINT his cunning rope
ensnared toothsome game that they sell
dom if ever tasted. they came again to
look mp TO him as they had in the past
after he had become their king And
so it was that before they left the am
phitheater to return TO their wander

their leader
The ape-man felt quite contented
with his new lot He was not happy
that he never could be again. but he
was at least as far from everything
that might remind him Of his past mis-.
cry as he could be. Long since he had
given up every intention OF returning
to civilization. and now he had decided
to see no more Of his black friends of
the Wazlri. He had forsworn hui
manity forever. He had started life an
ape-as am ape he would die.
He could not. however. erase from
his memory the fact that the woman
be loved was within a short journey
OF the stamping ground Of his tribe,
nor could he Danish the haunting fear
that she might be constantly i'm danger.
That she was ill protected he had seen
in the brief instant that had wit

Tarzan thought of it the more keeuly
his conscience pricked him.
Finally he came to loathe himself for

stranger" and he chucked a thumb at
Tazan

"Did she seem to be one OF the tribe,

"Ihey dragged her along sometimes
by an arm-sometimes by the long hair
that grew upon her head, and always
they kicked and beat her Oh but It
was great fun TO watch them"
