counter but fell short, and they went
into a ciinch. Johnson hung on SO
determinedly that Referee Welsh had
TO force him TO break. In fact. from
the beginning OF the round johnson
showed an inclination TO avoid pun
ishment. Then Willard nearly drop
ped the negro with a terrible left to
the jaw, The negro turned ashen
and his head dropped pathehcally.
He was nearly gone He clinehed
and again held on. Willard was right
on top Of him Finally Willard with
one supreme effort, landed smash
that knocked the champion cold,
A hush fell over the arena. In a

single one Of ths white man, and before
the guns Of the latter could inhict much
damage upon his people he would have
overwhelmed tho enemy by force OF
numbers.
lSaviri's own canoe went I'm advance Of
the others a short distance. and as It
rounded a sharp bend In the river where
the swift current bore Il rapidly ON its
way II came suddenly upon the thing
that kavlri sought.
So close were the two canoes TO one
another that the black had only an op-
portunity to note the white face in the
bow Of .ha oncoming craft before the
two touched and his own men were
upon their feet, yelling like mad devils
and thrusting their long spears at the
occupants Of the other canoe.
But moment later when Kaviri was
able 20 realize the nature of the crew
that manned the white mans ougout,
he would have given all the beads and
iron wire that he possessed to have been
safely within his distant village. Scarce
~ had the two craft come together than
the frightful apes Of Akut rose. growling
and barking, from the bottom of the
canoe. and, with long, hairy arms far
outstretched, grasped the menacing
spears from the hands OF kaviri's
warriors.
I ne DlaCks were overcome Win ueIToTt
but there was nothing 90 do other than
to fight. Now came the other war canoes
rapidly down upon the two crafts. Their
occupants were eager to join the battle,
for they thought that their foes were
white men and their native porters.
They swarmed about Tarzans craft
but when they saw the nature of the
enemy all but one turned and padded
swiftly up river That one came too

occupants realized that their fellows were
pitted against demons instead Of men.
As II touched Tarzan spoke few low
words to Sheeta and Akut, so that be-
fore the attacking warriors could draw
away there sprang upon them with a
blood-freezng scream a huge panther,
and into the other end of their canoe
clambered a great ape.
At one end the panther wrought fear
full havoc with his mighty talons and
long, sharp fangs. while Akut at the
other buried is yellow CANNES i'm the

overheard
Kavri was so busily engaged with the
demons that had entered his own craft
that he could offer no assistance TO his
warriors in the other. A giant of a
white devil had wrested his spear from
him as though he the mighty Kaviri had
been but a newborn babe. Hairy mon
sters were overcoming his fighting men,
and a black chieftain like himself was
fighting shoulder to shoulder with the
hideous pack that opposed him.
Eaviri battled bravely against his
antagonist, for he felt that death had
already claimed him, and so the least
that he could do would be to sell his
life as dearly as possible; but it was
soon evident that his best was quite futile
when pitted against the superhuman
Drawn and agility of the creature that
at last found his throat and bent him
back into the bottom of the canoe.

a. word from the latter sprang to his
place in the bow OF the dugout
when all were In place Il was discov-
ered That two Of the apes Of Akut were
missing, and though both the king ape
and Tarzan called to them for the bet

out them. AS it happened that the two
missing ones were the very same who
had evinced the least desire to accom-.
pahy lhe expedition from the island, and
had suffered the most from fright dur
ing the voyage, Tarzan was quite sure
that they had absented themselves pur-
posely rather than again enter the canoe.

shore shortly after noon TO search for

them Tor a moment from behind the
dense screen Of verdure which lined the
rivers bank. then he melted away up
stream before any of those in the canoe
discovered him.
Like a deer he bounded along the mar

village several miles above the point at
which Tarzan and his pack had stopped
to hunt.
