stunned her. She had gone to the
hotel, crushed, sick at heart, unde-
cided what to do Her impulse was
to leave the place at once. Some ir-
resistible influence, however, led her
now that she would not meet her
recreant lover-to see her friends.
There was present also a sad faScin-
alton about the Witheren home
where her successful rival had lived,
where Clyde Walton had been. 1t
might wrench her heart, but she
would hear from Miss Neltnor all the
details of the wedding. She would
hear spoken the name of the man
she loved, and she would be within
the atmosphere of the event of the
hour Nella dried her tears, took up
her travelling bag and started for her
original destination
ooh, my dear! Why did you miss
the wedding?" were the first words
of Miss Neltnor, as NeIla was well
coined into the Witherell house.
Have you been i'll? You look
wretchedly pale and depressed?"
Nella made some eYaS1Ye reply. She
was glad when Miss Neltnor, having
chatted over the pleasant month of
comfort and companionship before
them, left her to herself, having a lot
to do, she expressed it, in getting
things to rights after the fuss, furry
and confusion of the wedding.
Nena sat down, wearied, yet with
her nerves on a high tension, in the
drawing room where the reception
had taken place. The litter of the
event was eVerywhere..here crush

Idly a few moments later Nella sat
turning over the leaves of an album.
She allowed it to remain open at
certain picture. 1t was photograph
of Clyde Walton.
Her old lover, her false lover-how
natural the counterfeit presentment!
And here in this very room he had
gone forever out of her life! Nella
could not endure the poignant an
guish that assailed her mind She
arose, half determined to fee the
house which so reminded her of her
sorrow.
The binding blur of tears prevent

made out, and his entrance without

that Moldk had inflicted upon him, but
he was Injured to physical suffering and
endured ii with the calm and fortitude
Of the wild beasts that had taught him
to lead the jungle life after the manner
of all those that are born to 1t.
His first need, he realized, was for
weapons of offense and defense, for his
encounter with the apes, and the dis
tant notes of the savage voices Of Numa,
the lion, and Sheeta, the panther warned
him that his was TO be no life of in
dolent ease and security.
It was but a return to the old exist
ence of constant bloodshed and danger
to the hunting and the being hunted.
Grim beasts would stalk him, as they
had stalked him in the past, and never
would there be a moment, by savage day
or by cruel night, that he might not have
instant need of such crude weapons as
he could fashion from the materials at
hand.
Upon the shore he found an outcrop-
ing OF brittle, igneous rock. BY dint OF
much labor he managed TO chip of
narrow silver some l2 inches long by
a quarter Of an inch thick One edge
was quite thin for a few inches near
the tip. II was the rudiment of a knife.
With Il he went into the jungle, search
ing until he found fallen tree OF a
certain species OF hardwood with which
he was familiar. From this he cut a
small, straight branch which he pointed
at one end.
Then he scooped a small round hole in
the surface of the PROSTATE trunk. Into
this he crumpled a few bits II dry bark
minutely shredded, after which he in
serted the tip OF his pointed stick, and,
sitting astride the bole II the tree, spun
the slender rod rapidly between his
palms.
After a time thin smoke rose from
the little mass of timber, and moment
later the whole broke into flame. Heap
ing some larger twigs and sticks upon
The tiny fire, Tarzan soon had quite a
respectabIe blaze roaring IN the enlarg-
ing cavity OF the dead tree.
Into this he thrust the blade or his
stone knife. and as Il became super
heated he would withdraw n, toucnlns
a spot near the thin edge with a drop
OF moisture. Beneath the wetted area q
little make OF the CLASSY material would
crack and scale away.
Thus. very slowly. the ape-nlan COM
menced the tedious operation Of putting
a thin edge upon his primitive hunting
he did not attempt to accomplish the
feat ali ia one sitting. Al first he was
content TO achieve cutting edge OF

this spot the hungry ape-msn made his
silent way.
Through the upper terrace OF the tree
tops he swung with tho grace and ease
OF monkey. But for the heavy bur
den upon his heart he would have been
happy In his return to the old free life
OF his boyhood,
Yet, oven with that burden, he fell into
the little habits and manners OF his early
life that were In reality more part OF
him than the thin veneer OF civilization
that the past three years OF his associa-
tion with the white men of the outer
world had spread liEhly over him-a
veneer that only hid the crudities OF
the beast that Tarzan OF the Apes had
been.
Could his fellow peers Of the House OF
Lords have seen him then they would
have held up their noble hands In holy
horror.
silently he crouched in the lower
branches OF great forest giant that
overhung the trail his keen eyes and
sensitive ears strained into the distant
jungle from which he knew his dinner
would presently emerge.
Nor had he long to wait.
Scarce had he settled himself to a COM
Portable position, his 1.-the, muscular
legs drawn well up beneath him as the
panther draws his hindquarters in prep
aration for the spring, than Bara, the
uteit came ualntlty uOWn 10 uflnh.
But more than Bara was coming. Be
hind the graceful buck came another
which the deer could neither see nor
scent. but whose movements were ap-
parent to Tarzan of the Apes because of
the elevated position of the ape-man's
ambush.
He knew not yet exactly the nature Of
the thing that moved so stealthily
through the jungle a few hundred yards
behind the deer; but he was convinced
that 1t was some great beast OF prey
stalking Bara for the selfsame purpose
as that which prompted him to await the
feet animal Numa, perhaps, or Sheeta,
the panther.
In any event, Tarzan could see his re-
past slipping from his grasp unless Bara
moved more rapidly toward the ford than
at present
Even as these thoughts passed through
his mind some noise of the stalker in his
rear must have come to the buck, for
with a sudden start he paused for an in
slant, trembling in his tracks, and then
with a swift bound dashed straight for
the river and Tarzan. 1t was his inten-
ton to flee through the shallow ford and

escape upon the opposite side of the river
Not a hundred yards behind him came
Numa.
Tarzan could see him quite plainly now
Below the ape-man Bara was about to
pass. Could he do n? But even as he
asked himself the question the hungry
man launched himself from his perch full
upon the back of the startled buck.
In another instant Numa would be upon
them both. so II the ape-man were to dine
that night or ever again he must act
quickly.
Scarcely had he touched the sleek hide
OF the deer with a momentum that sent
the animal to its knees than he had
grasped a horn in either hand and with a
single quick wrench twisted the animals
neck completely round, until he felt the
vertebrae snap beneath his grip.
The lion was roaring in rage close be-
hind him as he swung the deer across his
shoulder, and. grasping foreleg be-
tween his strong teeth, leaped for the
nearest of the lower branches that swung
above his head.
With both hands he grasped the limb,
and, at the instant that Numa sprang,
drew himself and his prey nimbly out OF
reach OF the animals cruel talons.
There was a thud below him as the baf-
fed cat fell back 10 earth, and then Tar
ther up TO the safety of a higher limb,
looked down with grinning face into the
cleaning yellow eyes of the other wild
beast that glared up at him from be-
meath, and with taunting insults Haunted
the tender carcass OF his kiln In the face
Of him whom he had cheated Of II.
With his crude knife he cut a Juicy
steak from the hindquarters, and while
the great lion paced. growing, back and
forth below him, Lord Greystoke filled his
savage belly, nor ever In the choices of
his exclusive London clubs had a meal
tasted more palatable.
The warm blood Of his kill smeared his
hands and face and filled his nostrils
with the scent that the savage carnivora
love best.
And when he had finished he left the
balance OF the carcass in a high fork OF
the tree where he had dined and with
Numa trailing below him, stin keen for
revenge, he made his way back 70 his
treetop shelter. where he slept until the
sun was high the following morning.

Down they went together but so well
had Tarzan's plan worked out that be-
iore ever they touched the ground he
had gained the same hold upon Alxut

SLOWLY he brought the pressure TO bear,

given kerchak the chance 70 surrender

Whom ne saw possible ally OF great
strength and resource-the option OF

"Ka-goda?" whispered Tarzan IN the
ape beneath him.
IL was the same question that he had
whispered to Kerchak, and in the lam
guage of the apes It means broadly. do

Akut thought OF the creaking sound he
had heard just before Molak's thick neck
had snapped, and he shuddered.
He hated to give up the kingship,
though, so again he struggled to free
himself; but sudden application of the
torturing pressure upon his vertebra
brought an agonize "ka-goda!" from
his lips.
Tarzan relaxed his grip a trihe.
You may still be king, Alxut," he said.
Tarzan told you that he did not wish
TO be king. If any question your right,
Tarzan of the Apes will help you in your
battles"
L The ape-man rose, and Akut came
slowly to his feet Shaking his bullet
head and growing angrily, he waddled to-
ward his tribe, looking first at one and
then at another of the larger bulls who
might be expected to challenge his lead
ership.
But none did so; instead they drew
away as he approached, and presently
the whole pack moved off into the jun
gle, and Tarzan was left alone once more
