TARZAN THE TERRIBLE
By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS
I,s, of the .Taysan" Stories Stories

| Instead, there were the two figures
still vibrant with life and still battIint
only few feet below him. Clingins
always to the pegs with two holds---a
hand and a foot, or a foot and a tsil,
they seemed as much at home upon
the perpendicular wall as upon the level
surface Of the .vestibule; but now their
tactics were slightly altered, for each
seemed particularly bent upon dislodg.
ing his antagonist from his holds and
precipitating him to certain death be :
younger and with greater powers Of en- :
durance than Es-sat, was gaining an
advantake. Now was the chief almost
wholly on the defensive. Holding him
by the cross belt with one mighty hand.
Om- at was forcing his foeman straight
out from the cliff. and with the other
hand and one foot was rapidly breaking
first one OF Es -sat's holds and then
another, alternating his efforts. or
rather punctuating them, with vicious
blows to the pit of his adversary's s
stomach. Rapidly was Es-sat weaken
Ing and with the knowledge of impend-
to every coward and bully under similar
circumstances, crumbling Of the
veneer Of bravado which had long
masqueraded as courage and with It
crumbled his code of ethics. Now was
Es-sat no longer chief of Kor -ul ia
instead he was wbimpering craven
battling for life. Clutching at ON -at,
clutching at the nearest pegs he sought
any support that would save him from
that awful fall, ana as he strove to
push aside the hand of DEATH whose
cold fingers he already felt upon his
heart, his tall sought ON -at's side
and the handle of the knife that hung
there.
Tarzan saw. and even as Es-sat drew
the blade from its sheath, he dropped
catlike to the. pegs beside the battling
men. Es- -sat's tail had drawn back
for the cowardly fatal thrust. Now
many others saw the perfidious act and
a great cry Of rage and disgust arose
from savage throats: but as the blade
sped toward its goal. the ape man
seized the hairy member that welded
1t, and at the same instant ON at
thrust the body of Es-sat from him with
such force that its weakened holds were
broken and it hurtled downward. a
brief meteor Of screaming fear, to death.
