When we were through the captain

stayed outside and yelled in a very
loud voice until all the men were
killed. Unter-lieutenant Won Goss. Is
braver-he came in and stood beside
the door shouting at us, also in
very loud voice, and bade us nail

Like q peast of prey, grim and ter
rible, Tarzan crouched in the shad-
ows beside the tent. What thoughts
passed through that savage mind?
Who may say? No outward sign OF
passion was revealed by the express
sion of the handsome face; the
cold, gray eyes denoted only intense
watchfulness. Presently the soldier

a parting word turned away. He
passed within ten feet of the ape
man and continued on toward the
rear OF the camp. TarZan followed

the mans own tribal dialect as he
released his hold upon the others

The fellow gasped for breath, roll

manner of creature 1t might be In
whose power he was. In the darkness
he saw only a naked brown body
bending above him; but he still re-
membered the terrific strength of the
mighty muscles that had closed upon
his wind and dragged him into the
bushes as though he had been but a
little child. II any thought Of resist

discarded 1t at once, as he made no
move to escape.
! What is the name of the officer
who killed the woman at the bunga-
low where you fought with the

"Hauptman Schneider" replied the
black when he could again command
his voice.
Where is he?" demanded the ape
man.
He is here. 1t may be that he is
at headquarters. Many of the Of
flcers go there in the evening to re-
ceive ORDERS"

Kill you Immediately. Get up!"
The black rose and led the way by
a roundabout route back through. the
camp. Several times they were forced
to hide while soldiers passed; but at
last they reached great pile OF baled
hay from about the corner OF which
the black pointed out a two-story
