ssvN%sNs%eNNNssN~seS r above his head and vita mighty blow buried the point in snipes' brain. For q moment the men stood silently looking at the result of their fellows grim humor. Then one of them spoke. Served the rat jolly well right" he said.
 Ono of the others commenced to ply his pick to the ground. The soil was soft. and he threw aside the pick and grasped shovel: then the others join ed him. There was no further comment on the killing. but the men worked In a better frame of mind than they had since Snipes had assumed command.
 When they had a trench of ample size to bury the chest Tarrant suggest ed that they enlarge it and inter Snipes' body on top of the chest.
 Tt might 'elp fool any as 'appened to be diggin' 'erabouts." he explained. The others saw the cunning Of the suggestion. and so the trench was heightened to accommodate the corpse. and in the center deeper hole was excavated for the box. which was first wrapped In sailcloth and then low cred to its place. which brought It's top about a foot below the bottom of tamped down about the chest until the bottom of the grave showed level and uniform.
 Two of the men then rolled the ra, faced corpse unceremonlously Into the grave after first stripping it of It's weapons and various other articles which the several members of the party coveted.
 They then filled the grave with earth and tramped upon it until 1t would hold no more.
 The balance of the loose earth was thrown far and wide and mass oi dead undergrowth spread in as natural a manner as possible over the, new made grave to obliterate all signs oi the ground having been disturbed.
 Their work done the sailors returned to the small boat and pulled of rapidly toward the Arrow.
 The breeze had increased consider ably. and as the smoke upon the hori Eon was now plainly discernlbe ir considerable volume the mutineers lost no time in getting under full sail and bearing away toward the southwest
 Tarzan wondered what the chest they had buried contained If they did not wish it why did they not mere ly throw lt into the waterf That would have been much easier
 An. he thought. but they do wish 1t They have hidden It here because they intend returning for it later.
 He dropped to the ground and com menced to examine the earth about tho excavation. He was looking to see il these creatures had dropped anything which he might like to own. Soon h' discovered a spade hidden by the un derbrush which they had laid upon thu grave.
 He seized 1t and attempted to use | as he had seen the sailors do. It wa awkward work and hurt his bare feet but he persevered until be had partial ly uncovered the body. This he drag ged from the grave and laid to on side.
 Then he continued digging until h had unearthed the chest. This also h, dragged to the side of the corpse Then he filled in the smaller hole be low the grave. replaced the body ant the earth around and above 1t. coverei it over with underbrush and returne' to the chest.
 Four sailors had sweated beneatl the burden of it's weight. Tarzan O the apes picked 1t up as though 1t ha' been empty and. with the spade slunI to his back by piece of rope. carries 1t off into the densest part of the jun gle.
 He could not well negotiate the tree with his awkward burden. but he kep to the trails and so made fairly goo time.
 For several hours he travelled unti he came to an impenetrable wall o matted and tangled vegetation. The he took to the lower branches. and i another fifteen minutes he emerge into the amphitheater of the apes where they met in council or to cele brate the rites of the dumdum.
 Near the center of the clearing an not far from the drum. or altar. h commenced to dig. This was harde work than turning up the freshly e, cavated earth at the grave, but Tarza of the apes was persevering. and so h kept at his labor until he was reward cd by seeing n hole sufficiently deep { receive the chest and effectually hid 1t from view.
 Now the natural curiosity, which as common to men as to apes, prompt ed Tarzan to open the chest and exau inc its contents, but the heavy loc and massive iron bands bafiied bot his cunning and his immense strengtf so that he was compelled to bury th chest without having his curiosity sal isfed.
