iedecision. turned qucstioninS'y toward
the priests. .., ,, , ',

advice prompted by the petty sh'eWu- :

A with him as you will.
vuRut Il possible. Mos sar. and you
vould win the undying gratitude OF
Ia. don, the high priest, save him alive
mf my master.
Mo.sar nodded understanding ly and,
tnrnIng to the warrior, commanded that
10 conduct the visitor to him.
T,,We must not be seen by the crea-
ture !" said one Of the priests. GIVE
us rour answer to Lu- don. Mo-sar. and
va will so our way
''Tell Lu- DON replied the chief,
"that the woman would have been lost
10 him entirely had 1t not been for inc.
sought to bring her tu Tu-lur that l
uieht save her for him from the clutches
d ia don, but during the night she
escaped. Tell Lu- don that l have sent
thirty warriors to search for her. 1t
b strange you did mot see them as
you came"
1--WE did" replied the priests, but
they told us nothing of the purpose of
their Journey
at Is as / have told you" snid Mo-
cor. land II they find her, assure your
master that she will be kept unharmrd
In .lur for him. Also tell him that
will send my warriors to join with his
against ia don whenever he sends word
that he wants them. Now so, for
Taraan. .jad .guru will soon be here"
He signaled to q slave. Lead the
priests to the temple he commanded,
''and ask the high priest of Tu -lur to
Ne that they are fed and permitted to
return to A-lur when they will"
The two priests were conducted from
the apartment by the slave through a
doorway other than that at which they
had entered and a moment later Tar
mn .jad guru strobe into the presence
Of Mo. .sar, ahead Of the warrior whose
duty it had been to conduct and an
nounce him. The ape man made no sign
Of greeting or Of peace. but strobe di-
fctly toward the chief, who, only By
the exertion of his utmost powers of
Will, hid the terror that was in his heart
q sight Of the giant figure and the
seowling face.
u am the Dor r-ul- Otho," said the
tpe.man In level tones that carried to
me mind of Mo-sar a suggestion of
sold steel; Il am the Dor ul Otho, and
come to I lur for the woman you
soie from the apartments of O-lo-a,
the princess"
inc very boldness OF Tarzan's entry
i1'o TINS hostile city had had the effect
giving him great moral advantage
orr Mo.far and the savage warriors
mno stood upon either side of the chief.
Huly II seemed to them that no other
nan the son of Jad ben -Otho would
esI etN 80 heroic an act. Would any NOR
warrior act thus boldly, and alone
.ater the presence Of a powerful chief
tna, In the midst of score of war

w, u was beyond reason. Mo-sar was
aNering in his decision TO hctray the
