CHAPTER xIv-contInued.

In moment the victim flashed be-
meath the limb and at the same instant
the ape-man above sprang out and
down upon its back. The weight of
the mans body carried the deer to the
ground. 1t stumbled forward once in
futile effort to rise and then mighty
muscles dragged its head far back,
gave the neck vicious wrench and
Bara was dead.
Quick had been the killing, and
equally quick were the ape-man's sub
sequent actions, for who might know
what manner of killer pursued Bara,
or how close at hand he might be?
Scarce had the neck Of the victim
snapped than the carcass was hanging
over one Of Tarzan's broad shoulders,
and an instant later the ape-man was
perched once more among the lower
branches Of tree above the trail, his
keen, gray eyes scanning the pathway
down which the deer had fled.
His sharp eyes saw the muzzle of
the leading horse as it came into view
around bend in the tortuous trail,
and one by one they scrutinized the
riders as they passed beneath him in
single file.
Beneath him, as unconscious OF his
presence as were the Abyssinians be-
fore and behind him, rode Albert Wer-
per, while the ape-man scrutinized the
Belgian for some sign, Of the pouch
which he had stolen.
AS the Abyssinians rode toward the
south, giant figure lowered ever upon
their trail-a huge, almost naked
white man. who carried the bloody car
scass of deer upon his shoulders, for
Tarzan knew that he might not have
another opportunity to hunt for some
/ time if he were to follow the Belgian.
A two days march brought them to
q level plain beyond which lay noun
tains-a plain which Tarzan remem-
bered and which aroused within him
vague half memories and strange
longings. Beside charred pile Of
timbers the Abyssinians halted, and
Tarzan, sneaking close and concealing
himself in nearby shrubbery, watched
them in wondeEment He saw them
digging up the earth and he wondered
If they had hidden meat there in the
past and now had come for it. Then
he recalled how he had buried his pref
ty pebbles and the suggestion that had
caused him to do it. They were dig
ging for the things the blacks had bur-
led here!
+ Presently he saw them uncover a
dirty yellow object and he witnessed
the joy of Werper and of Abdul M0u-
rak as the grimy object was exposed
to view. One by one they unearthed
many similar pieces, all of the same
uniform dirty yellow. until pile Of
them lay upon the ground. pile
which Abdul Mourak fondled and pet
ted in an ecstasy Of greed.
Something stirred in the ape-man's
mind as he looked long upon the
golden ingots. Where had he seen
such before? What were they? He
recalled the black men who had bur-
led them. The things must be theirs.
Werper was stealing them as he had
stolen Tarzan's pouch of pebbles. The
ape-man's eyes blazed in anger. He
would like to find the black men and
lead them against these thieves.
As all these things ran through the
active mind a party of men moved out
of the forest at the edge of the plain
and advanced toward the ruins of the
burned bungalow. yE,

the first to see them. but already they

Baird of Washington D. G.
The Democratic candidates are
Governor James M. Cox, former
