Closer came the sound that had at
Jracted Tarzans attention, and now
The others heard 1.-THE shrin rum-
peting Of an elephant. As La looked
wide-eyed into Torzan's face, there to
read her fate for happiness or heart
break, She saw an expression of con
Germ shadow his features. Now, for
the first time, She guessed the mean
ing of Tarzans shrill scream-he had
summoned Tantor the elephant TO his
rescuel Las brows contracted in a
savage scowl. You refuse La" she
cried "Then die, The torch" she
commanded turning toward the priest.
Tarzan looked up into her face.
"TantOr is coming" he said Il thought
that he would rescue me; but | know
now from his voice that he will Stay
me and you and all that fall in his path,
searching out with the cunning of
Sheeta the panther those who would
hide from him, for Tantor is mad with
the madness Of love.
81 cannot love you, La" Tarzan
went on in a low voice. 81 do not
know why, for you are very beautiful.
l could not 90 back and live in Opar-
| who have the whole broad jungle
for my range. No | cannot love you
but cannot see you die beneath the
goring tusks of mad TantOr. Cut my
bonds before it is too late. Already
he is almost upon us. Cut them and
l may yet save you"
A little spiral Of curling smoke rose
from one corner of the pyre-the
flames licked upward cracking La
stood there like a beautiful statue Of
despair, gazing at Tarzan and at the
spreading flames. In moment they
would reach out and grasp him. From
the tangled forest came the sound of
cracking limbs and crashing trunks

ely" she commanded them, and
then she stopped and cut the bonds
securing her prisoners feet and hands.
In an instant Tarzan was upon the
ground. The priests screamed out
their rage and disappointment. He
with the torch took a menacing step
toward La and the ape-man. "Trai-
tori" he shrieked at the woman. "For
this you too shall die!" Raising his
bludgeon he rushed upon the high
priestess; but Tarzan was there be-
fore her. Leaping in to close quarters
the ape-man seized the appraised
weapon and wrenched it from the
hands Of the frenzied fanatic, and then
the priest closed upon him with tooth
and nail, Selling the stocky, stunted
body in his mighty hands Tarzan
raised the creature high above his
head, hurting him at his fellows who

then she awoke, and slowly the smile
faded and her eyes went wide in hor-
ror as the significance of the death
chant inpnged upon her understand
ing.
Love me, Tarzan % she cried Love
me, and you shall be saved"
TarZaLS bonds hurt him. He was
suffering the tortures of long-restricted
circulation. With an angry growl he
rolled over with his back toward La.
That was her answer The high
priqstess eaped to her feet. A hot
flush of shame mantled her cheek and
then she went dead white and stepped
to the shelters entrance.
Come, priests Of the Flaming God -
she cried, land make ready the sac
rifico"
Inc Waped things advanced and
entered the shelter. They laid hands
upon Iafzan and bore him forth, and
as they chanpd they kept time with
----4++rte t4waying to and
fro to the rhythm Of their song Of
blood and death. Behind them came
La, swaying too; but not in unison
with the chanted cadence. White and
drawn was the face of the high priest
ess-white and drawn with unrequited
love and hideous terror Of the mo-
ments to come. Yet stern in her re-
solve was La. The inhdel should die !
The scorner of her love should pay
the price upon the fiery altar. She
saw them lay the perfect body there
upon the rough branches, She saw
the high priest, he to whom Gus
tom would unite her-bent, crooked,
gnarled, stunted, hideous-adyance
with the flaming torch and stand
awaiting her command to apply 1t to
the faggots surrounding the sacriticial
pyre His hairy, besttal face was dis
tortcd in a yallow-fanged grin OF an
ticipatory enjoyment. His hands were
cupped to receive the life blood OF the
yictim-the red nectar that at Opar
would have tllled the golden Sacrlhclai
goDlets.
La approached with upralsed knlte'
her face turned toward the rising sun
and upon her lips prayer to the
burning deity of her people. The high
priest looked questioningly toward
her-the brand was burning close to
his hand and the faggots lay tempt
ingly near. Tarzan closed ms eyes
and awaited the end. lie knew that
he would suffer, for he recalled the
faint memories of past burns. lie
knew that he would suffer ana dle'
but he did not finch. Death is no
great adventure to the jungle bred

specter by day ana lie down at ms
side by night through all the years Oh
their lives. As matter OF Iact, as
his end approached MS nina was oc-
cupied by thoughts Oh the pretty pep
bleS he had lost, yet his every faculty
was still open to what passed around
him.
He felt La lean over him and he
opened his eyes, He saw her white,
drawn face and he saw the tears
binding her eyes. "Iarzan my Tar

y
How beautiful he was La bent
low over him, looking into his eyes,
How perfect was his figure. She
compared it with those OF the gnarled
and knotted men from whom she must
choose mate, and La shuddered at
the thought. Dusk came, and after
dusk came night A great fire blazed
within the little thorn bona about
the camp. The flames played upon
the new altar erected in the center of
the clearing, arousing in the mind Of
the high priestess Of the Flaming God
a picture Of the event of the coming
dawn. She saw tits giar5 and perfect
form writing amid the flames Of the
burning pyre, She saw those smiling
lips, burned and bIackenea' Ia'''I.S

saw these and many other frightful
pictures as she stood with closed eyes
and clenched fists above the object
of her hate-ah. was it hate that La
of Opar felt?
The darkness of the Jungle night
had settled down upon the camp, re-
lieved only by the ftful Earrings of the
fire that was kept up to warn off the
man-eaters. Tarzau lay quietly in his
bonds. He suffered from thirst and
from the cutting of the tight strands
shout his wrists and ankles; but he
made no complaint A jungle beast
was Tarzan, with the stoicism of the
beast and the intelligence Of man, He
knew that his doom was sealed-that
no suppl eations would avail to tenn
per the severity of his end and so he
wasted no breath in pleadlngs, but
waited patiently in the firm conyic-
ton that his sufferings could not en-
dure forever.
In the darkness La stopped above
him. In her hand was a sharp knife
and in her mind the determination to
initiate his torture without further de
Law. The knife was pressed against
his side and Las face was close to
his when sudden burst OF flame
from new branches thrown upon the
fire without lighted up the interior OF
the shelter. Close beneath her lips
La saw the perfect features OF the
forest god and into her Woman's
heart welled all the great love she hau
felt for Tarzan since first she had seen
him, and all the accumulated passion
of the years that she had dreamed OF
him,

A Priestess but Vet a Woman.

PrIesteSs but yet a woman.
At first La closed her eyes and chung
to Tarzan in terror. though she made
no cutlery; but presently she gained
sufficient courage to look about her,
TO look down at the ground beneath,
and even to keep her eyes open dur
ing the vide pcrilous swings from tree
to tree, and then there came over her
a sense of safety because 81 her con-
ildence in the perfect physical crea-

creature Of a heartless god and again
a melting woman filled with compass
sion and tenderness. Sometimes the
incarnation Of jealousy and revenge
ana sometimes a sobblng maiden gen
arous and forgiving; at once a virgin
and a wanton; but always-a woman.
