CHAPTER VI.
The JeweI-Room Of opar.


For some time Tarzan lay where he
had fallen upon the floor Of the treas
ure chamber beneath the ruined walls
of Opar. He lay as one dead; but he
was not dead. At length he stirred.
Slowly he rose to a sitting posture
listening. No sound reached to the
buried depths Of his sepulcher. He
staggered to his feet and CROPPED his
way among the tiers Of ingots. What
was he? Where was he? His head
ached; but otherwise he felt no Ill
effects from the blow that had felled
him. The accident he did not recall.
nor did he recall aught OF what had
led up to it.
He let his hands grope unfamiliarly
over his limbs, his torso, and his head.
He felt Of the CULVER at his back. the
knife In his loin cloth. Something
struggled for recognition within his
brain. Ali he had 1t. There was
something missing. He crawled about
upon the floor, feeling with his hands
for the thing that instinct warned him
was gone. At last he found 1.-THE
heavy war spear that In past years had
formed so important feature of his
daily life, almost of his very existence.
Tarzan was sure that there was an
other and more lovely world than that
which was confined to the darkness of
the four stone walls surrounding him.
He continued his search and at last
found the doorway leading inward be-
meath the city and the temple. This
he followed. most incautiously. He
came to the stone steps leading up
ward to the higher level. He ascend
ed them and continued onward toward

darkness as though he were transvers'
ing an open plain under the brilliance
Of MONDAY sun, and suddenly there
happened that which had to happen
under the circumstances Of his rash
advance.
He reached the brink Of the we'll,
stepped outward into space, lunged
forward and shot downward into the
inky depths below. Still clutching his
spear, he struck the water and sank
beneath Its surface, plumbing the
depths.
The fall had not injured him, and
when he rose to the surface he shook
the water from his eyes and found that
he could see. Tarzan gazed about him.
On the level with the surface Of the
water he saw large opening in the
dank and Shiny wall. He swan to II
and drew himself out upon the wet
floor of tunnel.
Along this he passed; but now he
went warily, for Tarzan Of the Apes
was learning. The unexpected pit had

dark passageways--he needed no sec.
ond lesson.
For long distance the passage went
straight as an arrow. The foot of a
stairway ended it. Up this he made
his way. 1t turned back and forth
many times, leading, at last, into
small, circular chamber.
Curiosity prompted the ape-man to
investigate his surroundings. Several
metal-bound, copper-studded chests
constituted the sole furniture of the
round room. Tarzan let his hands
run over these. He felt Of the copper
studs he pulled upon the hinges and
at last by chance he raised the cover
Of one.
An exclamation Of delight broke
from his lips at sight Of the pretty con-
tents. Cleaning and glistening in the
subdued light Of the chamber lay a
great tray full Of brilliant stones. Tar.
zan, reverted to the primitive by his
accident, had no conception Of the
fabulous value Of his find. To him
they were but pretty pebbles. He
plunged his hands in them and let the
priceless gems filter through his fin.

only to find still further stores Of pre-.
cious stones. Nearly all were cut, and
from these he gathered handful and
filed the pouch which dangled at his
side-the uncut stones he tossed back
into the chests. Unwittingly, the ape
man had stumbled upon the forgotten
jewel room Of Opar.
firing at last Of this diversion, Tar

dor which led upward from the jewel
room by steep incline. The tunnel

room. lighter than any that he had an
yet discovered.
Above him an opening in the ceiling
at the upper end Of flight of con-
crete steps revealed a brilliant sunlit
scene. Tarzan viewed the uncovered
columns in mild wonderment. There
was a tantalizing suggestion always
present in his mind that something
was eluding him-that he should know
many things which he did not know.
His earnest cogitation was rudely
interrupted by thunderous roar from
the opening above him. Following the
roar came the cries and screams Of
men and women. Tarzan grasped his
spear more firmly and assembled the
steps. A strange sight met his eyes
as he emerged from the semidarkness
of the cellar to the brilliant light Of
the temple.

Loew's columbia Theater offers for
a second triumphant week. beginning
yesterday. the third and greatest Of
all George Fitzmaurice productions,
Idols Of Clay"
In Idols of Clay" George Fitz-
maurice has taken a story by Ouida
Bergere that fairly runs the gamut
OF human virtues and weaknesses and
unfolded its action against a series
of settings that for sheer artistry
have seldom been eQualed on the
screen.
Mr.. Fitzmaurice has demonst rat ed
anew that he is the master OF the
colorful, emotional story and the
opulent background. AS in his pre-
vious productions, he is assisted by
the sympathetic work of pretty Mae
Murray and David Powell. the feat
ured players.
'Idols OF Clay brings together on
South Sea isle a young London
sculptor. who, faith in his career and
in manki ind shattered by an unscru-
pulous woman, has drifted to the
tropics, and an innocent child OF ma
turc, the daughter of a pearl snug
gler. The girl falls in love with the
handsome stranger.
Later events lead to their separa-
ton, but finally, after the girl OF the
South Seas has experienced the dizzy
heights of London bohemian society
and the shadowy dcns of the Lime
house underworld. they are reunited.
The picture records one step more
in the development Of Miss Murray
from ingenuc dancing roles ID those
of a finished emoti onal actress. The
ex-Follies favorite has made rapid
strides under Mr.. Fitzmaurice's di-
rcction.
