He leaped, catiike, after his spear, his hunting knife ready n his hand

And so he followed the old trail of
the Belgian through the forest and
toward the north; but because of the
age of the trail he was constrained
to far from rapid progress. The man
he followed was two days ahead OF
him when Tarzan took up the pur-
suit. and each day he gained upon
the apeman.
The latter, however. felt' not the
slightest doubt as to the outcome.

gedly he followed the faint spoor,
pausing by day only to eat and giving
up with regret at night that he might
sleep and refresh himself.
Occasionally he passed parties of
savage warriors; but these he gave
a wide berth, for he was hunting with
a purpose that was NOT TO be dis
tracted by the minor accidents of the
trail.
These parties were OF the collect

allies which Basuli had scattered his

he retained no conscious memory of

1t was night when he halted outside
the p~alisaded village of the Arab
raider. Perched in the branches of a
great tree, he gazed down upon the
life within the Enclosure. To this
place had the spoor led him. His
quarry must be within; but how was
he to find him among so many huts?
Tarzan, although cognizant of his
mighty powers, realized also his limi'

successfully cope with great numbers
in open battle. He must resort to
stealth and trickery If he were to sue

CHAPTER /
The Bunny's Revenge


TJoW Peggy and Billy Belgium got
IL there they didn't know. All they
remembered was that they were walk
ing along a country road when a sour
rying rabbit drew them into a gleeful
game of hide-and-go-seek. Bunny raced
from one brush pile to another and they
chased merrily after him, until. with a
farewell flip of his stubby tail. he dived
into a hole beneath an old log. Then
the children looked around them and
woke suddenly to the fact that they
were deep in a painless forest.
we are lost !" declared Peggy.
ut surely does look. that way" ad-
mitted Billy Belgium after taking a care
full look around. "I had 30 much fun
chasing that rabbit I forgot all about
watching where we were going"
From the hole under the log anne
an odd s%queaking. Turning that way
Peggy and Billy saw the rabbit they
had chased pointing them out to a large
family Of big-eyed young rabbits.
Let the plight of these children be
a lesson to you" the rabbit was say
ing. Had they attended to their own
affairs and not chased me they would be
safe and sound outside Of the woods.
Now they are lost, and 1t serves them
right. I'm glad"
This was more than Billy Belgium
could stand.
why, you impudent rabbit !" he cried,
making a jump for the hole. The in
slant he moved, however, the whole
rabbit family popped out Of sight.

side of the village, and approacho the
palisade.
At his side hung a long, rawhide
rope-a natural and more dependable
evolution from the grass rope of his
childhood. Loosening this, he spread
the moose upon the ground behind him
and, with a quick movement Of his
wrist, tossed the coils over one of the
s~harpened projections, of the summit
of the palisade.
Drawing the moose taut, he tested
the solidity of its hold. Satisfied, the
ape.man ran nimbly up the vertical
wall, aided by the rope which he
clutched in both hands. Once at the
top, it required but a moment to
gather the dangling rope once more
into it's coils, make it fast again at
his waist, take a quick glance down.
ward within the palisade and, assured
that no one lurked directly beneath
him, dropped softly to the ground.
Now he was within the village.
Before him stretched a series Of tents
and native huts. The business Of ex.
ploring each OF them would be fraught
with danger; but danger was only q
natural factor of each days llfe-it
never appalled, Tarzan. The chances
appealed to him-the chances of life
and death, with his prowess and his
faculties pitted against those of a
worthy antagonist.

smell of the thief was strong.

to play with them again, and, having
nothing better to do than satisfy the
first within which possessed him, ne
rose and started across the plain from
the forest in which he had spent the
preceding day.
Though no mark showed where the
gems had been buried, and though the
spot resembled an unbroken stretch
several miles in length, where the
reeds terminated at the edge of the
meadowland, yet the ape.man moved
with unerring precision directly to the
place where he had hid his treasure.
With his hunting knife he upturned
the loose earth, beneath which the
pouch should be; but, though he ex.
cavated to a greater distance than the
depth of the original hole, there was
no sign Of pouch or jewels. Tarzan's
brow clouded as he discovered that
he had been despoiled. Little or no
reasoning was required to convince
him Of the identity of the guilty party,
and with the same celebrity hat had
marked his decision to unearth the
jewels he set out upon the trail Of the
thief.
Though the spoor was two days old,
and virtually obliterated in many
places, Tarzan followed it with com.
parative ease. A white man could not
have followed it twenty PAGES twelve
hours after 1t had been made; a black
man would have lost 1t within the first
mile. But TarZan of the Apes had
been forGsd in childhood to develop
senses that an ordinary mortal scarce
ever uses.

on the breath of a fellow straphanger

the person of the wondrous lady sit

fact OF u sensitive noses; but as q
matter Of fact we cannot smell at all

atrophied, by comparison with the de
