CHAPTER XIII
The MaSnlIerofler

AS Tarzan dropped to the groun,
beyond the temple wall there wns il
his mind no intention to escape from
the City of A-lur until he had satis
fled himself that his mate was not ,
prisoner there, but how, in this strang,
city in which every mans hand mus,
be now against him, he was to live and
prosecute his search was far from clea,
There was only one place of which
nc knew that he might find even TEN
Porary sanctuary, and that was the
roroidden Garden oc the king. There
was thick shrubbery in which man
might hide, and water and fruits. A
cunning jungle creature, il he couid
reach the spot unsuspectcd, might re I.
main concealed there for a considerable
time, but how he was to traverse the
distance between the temple grounds
Mnd the garden unseen was question
the seriousness of which he fully ap-
preciated. ~
Mighty is Tarzan," he solilo.
quizel,. "in his native jungle. but In
they" ivan
Depending upon his keen observation
and sense of location ne rcIt safe in
assuming that he could reach the palace
grounds by means of the subterrnnean
corridors and chambers Of the temple
through which he had been conducted
the day before, nor any slightest detail
OF which had escaped his keen eyes.
That won d bc better, he reasoned, than
crossing the open grounds above, where
ms pursuers would naturally imme-
diatcIy follow him from the temple and
quickly discover him.
And so a dozen PAGES from tho ten.
pie wa IL he disappeared from sight Of
any chance observer above down one
OF the stone stairways that led to the
apartments beneath. The way that
he had been conducted the previous
day had followed the windings and
turnings of numerous corridors and
apartments, but Tarzan, sure of him
self in such matters, retraced the route
accurately without hesitation.
He had little fear of immediate ap-
prehehsion here since he believed that
all the priests of the temple had as
Scmbed in the court above to witness
his trial and his humiliation and his
death, and with this idea firmly i'm
planted in his mind he rounded the
turn Of the corridor and came face to
tesque head-dress concealing whatever
emotion the sight of Tarzan may have
aroused
However, Tarzan had one advantage
over the masked votary of Jad ben
Otho in that the moment he saw the
priest he knew his intention concerning
him, and, therefore, was not compelled
to delay action. And so It was that be-
fore the priest could determine on any
ises a long, keen knife had been slipped
into hfs heart.
As the body lunged toward the floor
Tarzan caught it and snatched the
headdress from it's shoulders. for the
first sight of the creature had suggested
to his ever alert mind bold scheme
for deceiving his enemies.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Presi-
dent Wilson will lay before Congress
within the next few days a recon-
mendation that legislation be enacted
authorizing the Federal Treasury
to accept German bonds in the sum
of $170,000,000 in payment of Bel
GUMS pre-armistice debt to this gov
ernment, it was announced to-day by
the State Department.
This action by the President, it was
said, would be in compliance with an
understanding made by Mr.. Wilson
and the representatives of the British
and French governments at the peace
conference, by which each was to rec
ommend to his government that
special issue of German bonds be ac-
ceDted in lieu of payment by Belgium.
AngIo-French Approval Sought
By the agreement the British and
French governments are to be asked to
approve the proposed German bonds to
take care of Belgium's obligations made
prior to the armistice, amounting to
approximately $500, 100000 to each gov
ernment, and the United States Con
gress likewise is to be asked similarly
to authorize the acceptance of GermaA
bonds to Offset Belgium's debt OF
$170,000,0o0 made before the cessation
of hostilities.
State Department officials said that
the Presidents action at the peace
conference in committing himself TO
take this move in behalf of Belgium
was based on the moral obligation that
all the Allied governments assumed
| toward the early restoration of Belgian
territory. The understanding made by
the President, it was explained, carried
no definite compliment by this gov
ernment, but was confined merely to
the promise that Mr.. Wilson would lay
the matter before the American Con
gress and urgently recommend that ths
proposed issue of German bonds De ac-
cepted IN lieu of cash payment by
Belgium.
Special Issue of Bonds
Should Congress approve President
Wilson's proposal and similar approval
be given the like recommendation To
be made to the British and French gov
ernments, the powers would authorize
special issue of bonds amounting 10
the total of $97O,oo0,o0o by Germany.
The issue would take precedence
over all other war obligations of the
enemy nation, including reparatious.
and would bear interest at the rate
fixed by the governments making the
original loans to Belgium.
The proposed German bond issue
would take care only of the Belgium
Indebtedness to this government end to
the French and British, contracted
prior to the armistice, and would be
separate and distinct from the indem-
nifty of $2,50O,000 900 elaimed by Bel
GUM from the enemy nation.
State Department officials said to-day
that the proposed bond issue by Ger
many would take precedence over any
internal debts owed by Germany, which,
it was explained, could be taken care
Of through the levying Of special taxes
within the empire.
